Okay, I have no idea what the hell is going on, but this shit isn't funny!

[ooc: voice open to anyone, of course. Feel free to attack him if you like. I'm more than willing to let him get hurt, but if you want him dead, send me a private message or IM first, please.]

I'm not. If they're here, then they're more than likely going to be trying to kill us because they're cursed and scared. That makes them more dangerous. They're cornered animals like this.

.... Mara sent them.

What in the-- ...hey they're YOURS!

[Not just any bagh nahks. Umi forgets whatever humanitarian arguments she was about to issue next in the light of what just transpired. Of all weird things in the world...]

But this is GREAT! She's helping you!

She's betting on me to win.

She's WHAT!? [First there's rage -- it comes to Umi far too fast these days, particularly today. How DARE anyone gamble with Ken's life?? Then her mind catches up with her heart a little.]

...No, that's NOT the Mara I've talked to. She has to be cursed too.

... I'm hoping so.

...Ken. She IS. [Come this point? She doesn't even need to see it. Umi puts an arm around Ken reassuringly while her free hand -- rapier temporarily going back to the magic glove -- reaches for her device so she can quickly browse the Network.]

People must ALL be cursed in different ways. I'm getting to the bottom of this goddamn thing...

... come on. We need to keep moving. If this lasts more than a day, we need to have an idea of the surrounding area.

We better hope it won't! Just how much longer can this horrible thing last??

...Looks like it's all over the place, too. People are GAMBLING on this, Ken. Some of them are even organizing themselves to he---

[Suddenly Umi goes absolutely still, her voice dying, her face frozen in shock. It takes the longest minute for it to settle back into shaken determination.]

...why...

You know things here can go a while. If that's the case...

... what is it?

...It's nothing...

[Nevermind her tone, which indicates it's actually close to everything. Umi shakes her head and has to resist throwing the device into the woods as instead she puts it away.]

Nothing I didn't already know. You're right, we should move.

If you've got info, I need to know.

Just... someone we have to really watch out for.

[Umi's voice tries to make little of it, or at least divest it of any personal emotions. Make it more like a warning.]

Young, tall, cold eyes, dark hair slicked back... he's... dangerous.

Yeah. We've met.

---You faced Kazuo??

[Umi stares at the wound, and that seems too much of a meaningful gesture for her not to know who gave it to Ken. Her face grows angrier and more conflicted.]

He HURT you. Did you.... kill him?

Didn't get the chance to. We ended up being separated before anything could be resolved. He's the one you're friends with, isn't he?

I... Yes. We're... [This isn't a question Umi feels she's ready to confront at the moment, not after being attacked and almost killed by Kazuo too, for the second time, at that.]

Sort of. From my part, we... are. [Are they still?]

He's no friend to you, Umi. Surely you can see that.

...He can't feel that way about me. Or... any other way. I've known that for a while now, Ken.

He'd kill you without hesitation if he were here right now.

He already tried, Ken. Both Fuu... and I.

.. then you need to stop seeing him as a friend.

Aw, I've tried before. It's just that I... He's... I've done my damn best to understand things from his point of view! I've even--!!

[It takes a huge effort, but Umi gets a hold of herself.]

Ken, we don't have time for this. We should deal with things as they are right now...

You're right, we don't. Come on.

[Still frowning, Kan starts to walk away.]

[Umi follows, secretly grateful that her brother allowed her to drop the subject.]

Where to, first of anything?
