003 [Accidental Video]

[hiptobe_eraqus]

[Eraqus's communicator switches on without his doing...in this case, it looks like Kura accidentally turned it on while lifting it up with his tail. Kura peers under the communicator, then temporarily scampers out of sight of it.]

Yaza?

[Kura's not the only one that appears to be searching. Eraqus is looking around the small room he's taken up at Sunset Hill, with Gengo and Chuza also glancing around in confusion.]

Yaza!

[Still nothing. Eraqus stops, looking frustrated.]

Honestly...what good is it to have a Spirit that immediately goes missing?

[He sighs, and walks out of view of the communicator, which is still broadcasting. As soon as he is out of view, a Toximander's head can be seen slowly emerging out of the floor. The Dream Eater blinks in the direction that Eraqus went, looks around a bit, then dives back into the floor.]

A person by the name of Braig. I doubt you know him. [Even doubts he knows Braig, really, whatever he once thought.] He isn't here, thankfully.

As it is a Spirit, presumably it will be acting to help you, regardless.

[hiptobe_eraqus]

No, I don't recognize the name. But from the sound of it, he was not good to know.

[With darkness? He's a bit skeptical, now.] We shall have to see.

[defrostedpride]

[Even's face travels through regret, anger, pain, and more anger.] No, apparently he wasn't.

[Oh look a subject change!] Why wouldn't it? The...bouncing things do, and they don't seem nearly as useful.

[earthshatter]

Meow Wows.

[defrostedpride]

Yes, those. The ones that don't look particularly useful.

[earthshatter]

They have their uses.

[defrostedpride]

I didn't say they didn't; I said they don't look it.

[hiptobe_eraqus]

[He recognizes those looks, and they never mean good things. He doesn't respond to it, but makes a mental note to look out for anyone named 'Braig,' too.]

The Meow Wows are at least able and eager to engage in combat. Something this shy might shy away from it at a necessary moment. [Plus that darkness, but he just looks away thinking about that.]

[defrostedpride]

If you've found a breed of Spirit that doesn't fling itself over-enthusiastically into the fray without regard for the wisdom of such a course of action, I really will have to get one.

[His Pricklemane chitters at him.] Yes, it will replace you. I told you not to jump on that, but did you listen?

Have you tested that hypothesis? There are some smaller groups of Nightmares around; they would make adequate sources of data on your new associate's combat capability.

[hiptobe_eraqus]

Suit yourself.

Considering I only just made this Spirit? No, not yet. But I will see next time I go around the city.
