Part One of Three: SEARCH PARTIES // HOSTAGES - Pre-battle prep

[nishimono.livejournal.com]

[You've all searched long and hard to get here--a strange manor surrounded by thick forests and right near the mountains that encompass Paradisa's castle. It's old-looking and you can't quite place the architecture...and it has an oddly empty feel to it. It certainly doesn't look like the place where a guts-eating monster would be dwelling, nor where she'd kidnap and torture people. But appearances can certainly be deceiving...

Now that everyone involved knows where she is, it's time to converge and figure out a battle plan.]

What? Where?! [conveniently didn't pass that tree?]

What'd it say?

[ino]

[IT'S ALL GOOD, IT WAS ONLY ON ONE TREE AFTER ALL]

It was back further .... It said he's fine and to look for the others.

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Out here? Didn't he have his journal on him?

[he's secretly pretty relieved to hear that, though] Well, good to know we're on the right track.

[ino]

I don't know. Apparently not, since he didn't have the decency to say anything before that. [FUMES...]

Yeah. I'm still not sure how to pinpoint this place exactly, though ...

1/2

Maybe we've gotta give him the benefit of the doubt. He must've been in a hurry - plus, he probably didn't want anyone to start worrying about him and get ideas.

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

What about any of the others? [takes out his journal to see if any new information might have popped up in there]

[ino]

[just a huff, lmao]

I don't know ... it's been pretty quiet. I'm assuming most people are heading this way based on the clues, but ...

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

Nothing new, huh? [shuts his journal again] We're going by that map someone drew, right?

[ino]

Not as far as I've seen.


Yeah, I think that's the best chance we've got. But it would be good to find everyone else and work out what's going to happen, first ....

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

[nods] Let's hope all of 'em were thinking the same thing and nobody rushed ahead.

[ino]

Yeah, no kidding. [DOESNT WANT TO HAVE TO WASTE ENERGY HEALING MORONS WHO CAN'T DO TEAMWORK] You think we should head back a bit to see if anyone's on their way?

[recordhistory.livejournal.com]

It couldn't hurt. Sticking together in a group's probably a good idea anyway.
