Listen closely and you should be able to hear

[Bzzt... Bzzt...]

...

[The noise drones on, like a cicada in the summer. Except that it isn't that poetic in reality. The noise is coming from the sound of raw volts continuously being surged into this frequency.]

Annoying.

[Tap. The tip of Haruka's shakujou lightly hits the communicator, and when the tengu speaks, there is a hint of underlining malice in his voice.]

I wonder how much electricity it would take to kill this thing...

[A loud popping noise can be heard from the raw charge of electricity that isn't coming from the communicator this time, but... also the sound of running footsteps? They pad up against the ground in a dash, and then--

WHUMP!]

AAAH!

[The rings of the shakujou clang together, and then the whole thing just falls right over unceremoniously onto the floor with a hollow bang.]

[A cheerful voice speaks up immediately after, its rather loud, and belongs to Kantarou.]

HAAAARUUUKAAAA~♥

[BZZZZAP!] Urgh... Damn!

[He grunts, reeling an arm back as he's tempted to throw his communicator up against the closest wall.] ... Hmph. [But that's not going to happen. At least not today.]

Forget it. I have a question.

Since when have people started freezing in place with no memory of it?

Just what the hell is going on?

[[ooc Haruka saw what you did there, Rolo.]]

These damn trees are starting to piss me off...

You may be in hiding right now, but that still doesn't give me any less of a reason to kill you for what you've already done, Sakurazuka Seishirou.

I'm not going to let anyone else fall before my eyes again. Especially not at the hands of a disgusting human like you.

[Switches over to voice mode. The following is spoken in Japanese.]

Doumeki...? Komachi...?

[...]

Che. [There is a loud slam, accompanied by a jingle from the rings on his shakujou.]

Stop screwing around!
