You'd think I'd be the one they'd target. I'm not used to magic at all.

[Maybe the ghosts got really intimidated by the way Kiryu slammed some with a table, and threw another over his shoulder, and glared at another so hard they ran away, and then they decided Akira was an easier target]

[foresightis2020]

It may be that those who are more accustomed to magic would be far more suitable for targets. Particularly if ghosts abound.

[ Jing Yuan is not unfamiliar to the troublesome antics of possession, what with the heliobi and what not, so he does not think this is dissimilar.

...He does not know Kiryu was pretty much kicking ass and taking names in a certain manner to be incredibly intimidating, but hey! ]

After all, if a ghost has control of a vessel with great magical capability, then they have more raw power at the tips of their fingers.

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

If anything happens I'll do what I can to stop any ghosts trying to harm us, then.

[No matter they puppet Akira around, Kiryu won't let that stop him from doing what he can.

Thankfully, he fulfills this promise when it counts]

[foresightis2020]

With your experience thus far, your contributions surely will prove to be valuable.

[ Jing Yuan has faith that Kiryu will raise to the occasion should all go awry once more. When matters become at their core embroiled in chaos, those who have proven their worth and those who have yet to, will do so.

Such is it as always. ]

Though, I will also ensure that I do my part as well, should anything chaotic arise.

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

I trust if it turns out I got something wrong with me and need to be subdued you'll pull it off, too?

[Kiryu has less magical skills and no weaponry, so as long as you stay out of his range you should be able to subdue him!]

[foresightis2020]

I will.

It wouldn't be the first time I've taken such responsibility upon myself.

[ Jing Yuan does also have martial arts skill so if it ends up close range he can probably do decent enough and then bring down the hurt with stunning electrical maneuvers. ]

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

[When you say they're stunning electrical maneuvers do you mean they stun or do you mean they're incredibly cool to see]

I'll be counting on you, then.

[It's a relief!]

I guess that we found a rock means the rest of the teams will find some as well.

[That must be the source of all issues, that the moon left around big fragments of itself]

[foresightis2020]

[ I just realized the gravity of the pun I just made, help.

Either way, he smiles slightly at that. He has faith in his own capabilities and it's always good to have allies that believe in one another. ]

It seems to be a common pattern thus far. We're fortunate if it means only one rock is in each country, despite their danger.

[ However... ]

Otherwise, it will become something to watch out for, if we should discover more than one rock in a place.

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

Shouldn't we wonder how they got here in the first place? The one we found was in the vault of the castle. That was not recent.

[It was so long ago nobody even knew what was causing trouble! All they knew was that it was in the vault]

[foresightis2020]

We should. Considering the circumstances, someone must have placed it there.

After all, I doubt the rock itself could have simply gotten up and walked into the vault.

[ Those are his thoughts, anyway. The phrasing might be a bit silly, but ultimately it is the thought that counts.

Then again, anything is possible. ]

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

There's got to be a reason why all these rocks activated roughly at the same time, too. The one in the vault was inert for long enough everyone forgot about it.

[foresightis2020]

[ For a moment, Jing Yuan closes his eyes, as if in thought, before reopening them. ]

It could be purposeful timing that would support in the coming of that Great Calamity we are meant to prevent in the previous wizards' place.

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

So fulfilling these missions will make it easier to defeat the moon once the calamity comes.

[Oh, that'd be good]

[foresightis2020]

I earnestly believe that's the case as well.

[ Jing Yuan rises to his feet, thinking that he has more or less covered the pertinent aspects in conversation, and nothing about Kiryu makes it seem like he's going to immediately keel over and die or something. ]

I believe I will leave you to it. Though, the moment you feel anything is off, even slightly, I imagine you will try to get our attention?

[ As in everyone's, or those who are close by enough, really. ]

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

...if something is wrong with me and turns out to be moon-related wouldn't whatever I have wrong try to hide it?

[Sentiment that'll increase once Akira's happenings, well, happen. IF Kiryu is possessed or something, perhaps that will stay hidden in some way until it's tiem to strike. Hopefully that won't happen, but still, Kiryu has concerns]

[foresightis2020]

In all honesty, I wouldn't know.

You have a fair point, even if I would not wish to assume that is exactly the case.

[ Jing Yuan isn't going to approach this matter from a purely optimistic perspective since that is dangerous.

This is a matter of life or death, after all, and a single miscalculation can result in an unfortunate conclusion. ]

Either way, if you do have enough strength of will to resist whatever it could be in the event something does 'manifest', I doubt you're the type of person not to try to seek an opportunity to struggle against it.
