Well, it's all we really have to go on at the moment and I'll take anything that might give us some kind of advantage.

I say we set the stones up around the city and hope they work this way.

Yeah. Otherwise, we gotta track this guy down before he does something stupid. Or he gets extra possessed.

You mind if I take most of the stones in that case? I'd say you should probably try to hand one off to the possible scapegoat, but I think my "friend" and I can get these around the city faster, if this works.

Alright, this sounds like a plan.

*Juudai takes the stone that Ruka had in her hand.*

I'll try and see if I can get this one to the possible scapegoat, while you and your associate get the rest around the city. With any luck this will give us some kind of edge.

Is there anything I can do to help? I definitely don't want to just stand by and do nothing.

Did he uh. Give any hint of what he's doing? Where he'd be? What he even plans on?

He's trying to hide it from himself, but he seems like a smart guy. But also like... he's trying to fool himself by not being too serious, you know? Anything about this could help, to know what he's thinking.

Hmmn. *She tries to think back to the conversation she had with him.*

He did say he had a 'lot of set-up' to finish before he could start and that where ever he is isn't a place he could offload the heavy bag... though that could've just been an excuse to place the bag with me.

I could try looking through the rest of the bag to see if there is anything more he's left us. Any clues as to where he could be or what he's doing.

That might help. Honestly far as I know, best thing is to do anything that might avoid say, dueling him.

Cause apparently Signers mixing that with Dark Signers causes disintegration in some form. And I don't think he deserves that.

I'll stay here then and look through the rest of the bag. I'll contact you both if I find anything.

*A look of worry appears on her face.*

I really hope we can stop this and help him in some way.

*Juudai gives her a reassuring smile as he places a hand on her shoulder.*

We'll all do our best to make sure of it.

... Yeah. We will. *rubbing their head a bit*

I mean, wouldn't have just kept an eye on him if we planned on just taking him out or something. Even if he is kinda a weirdo who kept coming in to eat at midnight and kept me at the school late.

Just... again, sorry for getting dragged into this.

It's fine. Honestly, as difficult as it is, I'm glad I know about this so I can do my best to help.

Maybe he can be a little strange, but it's been nice getting to talk to someone who is just as passionate about his research as I can be about my own sometimes.

Yeah... Well, hopefully, he'll be sticking around to keep doing that, because I honestly can't guarantee what's about to happen, either way, even in the best circumstance possible for... All of this. Still.

*going over to the door. ... waiting a moment, and then opening it up, looking out it to address who's been loitering*

Hey, come in here. There's some rocks you need to take.

*a young man's voice is heard, questioningly going "rocks??" before some. obviously cloaked figure peeks in.*

You know, this is really two more people than I'd have liked to have be around, before you told me to come over here...

*even with his expression obscured, you can tell he's less than fond of the circumstances*

I take it you're Shian's associate.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Yuuki, Juudai, head of the Spirit Arcadia Institute.

*He then motions towards Ruka.*

And this is Terasaki, Ruka, who's in charge of the research and exploration team here.

I'm... No one, rea--

He's the Black-Winged Dragon Signer.

And also a certified paranoid idiot because he picked fights and doesn't want to be tracked down.

But he's good at what he does, which is the only reason I'm not just forcing him to interact on a serious level unless he allows it.

Black-Winged Dragon's signer...

*Ruka gives him a friendly smile.*

It's nice to meet you. We really appreciate your cooperation with this.

I'm the signer of Ancient Fairy Dragon. Well... the signer of the other Ancient Fairy Dragon.

*She pulls up the sleeve on her arm to show her Signer Mark.*

*was most definitely in the middle of being about to yell at Shian, but-- ugh, you're too nice, Ruka. I'd feel bad attempting murder around you already.*

The "other" Ancient Fairy Dragon, huh. I'd heard that somehow two sets of Signers were around, but I didn't really get a whole lot of details of how that had even happened.

*he rolls of his sleeve to show it-- the Heart.*

The details are... they would take a bit to explain. Maybe one day I can explain it to you, the best I can anyway, but yes, I'm part of a second set of Signers.

*She smiles when she sees the Heart mark on his arm.*

You have the same mark that my brother has, except he's the signer of Power Tool Dragon.

*tugging back down his sleeve*

Strange how the Marks don't actually match up. But either way, that isn't the important thing right now.

I caught onto some of what was being said, but I basically need to place these-- rocks? really?-- I need to place these marks around in areas. And I think I know where I need to do it, anyway.

I've been following Satou around for a long time, now. So I know where he's been setting all of this up. Roughly.

If you can give me a copy or something of what the whole exorcism circle looks like, it'll help me figure out if any spots he had set up were meant to be fakes to throw people off.

*Ruka gives him a nod before she picks up the exorcism circle plans.*

I'll photocopy these for you. Just a moment.

*Thankfully, Juudai happened to have a photocopier in his office. She uses it to quickly make copies of the circles, she then hands the copies to him.*

Here you go.

Thanks.

*he takes the copies, and then pulls out a cloth bag, putting the stones in.

And grumbling about why this guy had to go and put them onto rocks of all things.*

Let's just hope this all works out and isn't secretly a part of some more diabolic scheme of some sort.

Oh, please, what're the chances of that happening?

*... silent for a moment*

... Let's just. Stick to our course for the moment. Better than doing nothing.

Agreed.

Keep in contact, let me know how things are going. In the meantime, I have to pay a certain someone another visit to give them this.

*He holds up the last stone.*

Yeah, we'll keep in contact.

Pray that a form of contact isn't going to be dark flames sprouting up, at least.

*Shian waves as they take their leave, their fellow Signer bowing his head in farewell before leaving as well.

Looks like enough work has to be done...*
