Paws Prints

[Tsuzuki is seen running at a speed that the gollems couldn't keep up. His communicator is picking up the side of his face. He looks dead serious.]

Where did he go?!

[He finally stops, glancing about. He looks down at his communicator, seeing its on.]

Everyone! Something has been manipulating some of us in the castle! If any of you recall what happened to you, please let me know, even its just that you blacked out! If anyone sees Shuuichi today, try to keep him in one place!

[He motions for Addy and Kia to go in different directions before taking off in a run again in a stairwell. The feed ends.]

[Tsuzuki stands outside the front door with his hands in his pockets. His trench coat swirls in a wind about him, or is that a wind? He's staring up at the castle tower. His face is serious. A Finder cloak is draped over his right arm. After a while, he lowers his head. He appears to be disappointed.]

I guess I'll see you guys when I get back then...

[The feed dies as the 'wind' dies around him.]

[ooc: Addy and Kia aren't back yet, but Tsuzuki is going on his mission anyway. I wanted to post this yesterday, but I fell asleep tagging. /embarrassed/ Hopefully, I'll have some time to tag after work this week. Cross your fingers, guys!]

[Tsuzuki is seen sitting against a rock surface. He is holding a limp form in his arms. The lighting is dim, so it's hard to tell who it is. Tsuzuki is soaked from the way his dark hair is clinging to his face. He is staring straight ahead of him, serious and cold. Most likely at whatever is making that god-awful racket in the background. A white furred tiger leans over to nudge him.]

How you holding up, Tsuzuki? You've been holding this barrier for a while now.

It will hold, Byakko. Help will be here soon.

Tsuzuki...

[Byakko the tiger glances at the gollem hovering inside the barrier with them. His inner kitten can't resist a swat at it. Tsuzuki cracks a smile for the first time.]

If only Addy could see that... Hm!

[The feed goes out on Byakko smacking the gollem.]

[ooc: Tsuzuki, Byakko, and Axel are inside of a barrier that also conceals their presence, waiting for people to get down to their location to deal with the Kraken. I'm guessing that the Cerberus and Nessie are making it hard for people to get down there, since they are both in the way of getting to the Kraken based on their locations.. It's been a while since Tsuzuki got there. I went ahead with it since you sounded okay with it when we talked yesterday, Dazha. Axel is gonna be okay!]

[Tsuzuki is on the roof, more like flying above it really. The camera is wavering, due to Kia holding it with its feet. Tsuzuki is pulling at Addy, who appears to be fighting with a gollem.]

Oh for the love of the Jade Emperor! Addy! Seriously?! Are you that jealous?!

[He glances at the camera, groaning loudly.]

Kia...! Help your master here! Okay?! If Reever... Oh god! You're recording this?! Kia, I thought I could at least trust you! Damn it, Addy! Leave it alone!

[The camera feed moves closer as Kia flies over to the shinigami. Once he can reach the communicator, Tsuzuki hits the button and cuts the feed.]

[ooc: Addy doesn't want Tsuzuki to get a gollem, and it's showing Tsuzuki. Kia thought Reever might want to see Tsuzuki flying, so it grabbed the communicator. So sweet...]

[The feed picks up on a white bird staring at the camera. It twitches his head as it walks around on the keypad, looking between the camera and keys. There is no sound at first, but somehow the creature finds the microphone button. Light laughter is heard in the background.]

Ahahaha! That tickles! I missed you guys, too! I hope you like it around here! It's not so bad once you get past the creepy stuff...

[The bird looks up at something to the side out of camera view, kooing softly]

Oh no... Not again.

[Tsuzuki appears on camera, with a second bird on his shoulder, to turn the feed off.]

[ooc: Tsuzuki has brought two of his bird familiars to life to keep him company. These little guys are cute and curious.. Feel free to ask how he did it. Yay more Ofuda!]

Um... Someone needs to check the juices... I think some of them are a little old... or a lot of old... ow... Thanks, Ace... for putting up with me...

Oh... and to Chief and Mr. Reever... I know you both have been asking about my powers... Whenever you get the time... I'll be more than happy to talk to either of you about them... Geeze... who knew juice could ferment...!

[ooc: Backdated to the morning after the "I've Never Meme". Yeah, Tsuzuki got a little more than buzzed off of fermented grape juice. Feel free to tease the hell out of him! Hm!]
