Note 004.2 [Public, last post didn't happen]

[mysterymachines]

[The page this is written on appears slightly creased, but remains open for all readers. The handwriting here is harried, as if the writer had suddenly suffered a shock.]

I now know, rather than fear, that I am in danger here. While this is certainly not a new sensation to me, these spirits pose a threat to me that I fear I have as yet no

That is rather unsettling, that the spirit has chosen to threaten you as well. I presume you are uninjured?

[mysterymachines]

How did that page unfold it

No, Yoruichi-san, I am unharmed aside from some minor shock. Have you been troubled recently?

[goneonenight]

No more than the usual disturbances, although I cannot help but suspect I will be targeted soon enough. The spirits have thus far seen fit to divide their attentions among as many of us as possible.

[mysterymachines]

Understandably, if they mean to drive us out.

Have you observed anything strange?

[melikaithanato]

I am sorry my nocturnal visitor has decided to pay you a call as well. I am glad you were unharmed.

[mysterymachines]

Perhaps she learned that you had made preparations against her. Has she appeared to you again?

Thank you for your concern.

[melikaithanato]

Not since then. The knife I acquired from the kitchen is, perhaps, enough to scare her off, though I suppose we shall see in the coming days.

[mysterymachines]

I suppose. I plan to take similar steps for my own security. Other spirits may be less timid than she is.

Regarding my public enquiries, have you come to any conclusions about the "party guests"? I know what they are doing, but not if there is any deeper meaning.

Hm! It's very unfortunate that it's happened to you, as well...

I suppose the ghost doesn't discriminate much, so long as it perceives some sort of weakness. In any case, I would be perfectly happy to accompany you to buy a firearm, my boy!

come, Watson, the game is afoot!

[mysterymachines]

No actual harm has come to me, but thank you for your concern.

And thank you again. Sending someone else to do it would be as if I sent him to have my measure taken for clothing: I have enough experience to know what suits my needs. However, I will likely seem trustworthy if I am with you.

[notrueking]

I understand how that is. A weapon just doesn't feel right unless you've chosen it for yourself. And yes; it's highly doubtful that anyone would sell a gun to a young man like yourself, regardless of how responsibly you'd use it.
