As you may have heard from my esteemed colleges or seen from the video anomaly, the Mictlan appears to have caused quite a commotion. I have been approved for an expedition later tonight. However, this is to be done without the government's aid. While they appreciated your efforts during the tournament, the media's eyes are currently turned on the Visitors as a whole and if the Anoli found out what was going on, they could use this to their advantage.

Time is of the essence, as there are more and more questions as to where our peers have gone off to. Obviously that question needs an answer.

Do not bother coming if you can't stand up and fight on your own.

[OOC - You can only send one(1) of your characters. They need to be in okay condition on the 1st of February to go, and this has nothing to do with the event happening next week. This log will be rapid-paced for the most part.]

What more do we know about the situation than what was shown on that video? I think that's important to share before we put anyone else at risk.

[aka Kandori this post is supremely non-informative...]

[fools_journey]

I second what Minako said.

Time may be of the essence, but please spare a couple minutes to tell us about the expedition they went on so no one else flies in blind.

[Kazuya felt angry at himself for not being able to help Atsuro when the Anoli attacked the stadium so, have a very determined Demon King on your side!]

i'm in. i don't care about dangers and shit so just say the meeting spot.

[a_pirate_meant_to_be]

...beats delivery work, I guess. I got a giant chicken that can provide backup.

[greyerrant]

I'll bring my allies, too. I suspect we're optimally suited to this

[ Because they're all badasses. Including you, Gasmask-kun. ]

[technomaturgist]

I'll join Cerberus, as well.

[ He's well enough to go places, now. Not at his best, but he can stand and fight.

He's probably not taking a heavy phys attack anytime soon, tho.

also yes he is badass thank you garviel /preens ]

[booyaka_boom]

*A feminine voice, but super-determined*

I'm ready. Just say when!

[otakuro]

Kazuya...

OK. Then I'm coming, too.

[There was nothing wrong with him that prevented him from walking, after all.]

video!!

[belfire]

Wha- Atsuro-!

...

You do realise there's a tentacle monster in there, right? I've seen enough hentai to know where that would go...

[voice] if it's not too late??

[doesasordered]

I would like to go. A lot of people were severely injured, but I wasn't, and can help.

[otakuro]

That is not what I was thinking about at all, but you raise a good point.

I'll bring some deep-fryers and we'll make takoyaki.

[belfire]

Alright, but as soon as it delves into porn territory you're on your own.

[Nah, he couldn't leave you behind, Atsuro - even when faced with Hentai Tentacles]

...hm, but really, what do you think snagged those lot up?

[otakuro]

Cthulhu.

...Seriously, though? If it's really some kind of ancient abomination, I wouldn't be too surprised. Maybe it's even the source of the demons. If not...

Well, it's trying really hard to be perceived as one. You saw all the carvings and statues, too, right?

[belfire]

Hmm, I don't think it's the source of the demons.

[Call it a gut feeling - or several gut feelings, as far as his Bel demons were concerned]

It's definitely something powerful. Maybe the reason why we're stuck in this place. Like a multi-dimensional space octopus or something.

[otakuro]

So...

What, Butterfly Mask's true form?

[belfire]

Well that'd be pleasant. He's really a hentai tentacle monster under that butterfly disguise... but who knows. It's hard to get a good reading on it through grainy, Blair Witch styled videos.

[youonlylivethrice]

[Hahaha him giving out info before he's asked for it, that's a good one.]

That's all we do know, currently.

From what I understand, they all had a dream that told them to enter the temple and that a pathway would be opened. The only reason we were also warned was due to Takeba's own involvement.

Regardless, since the expedition no one has been able to open the door again. Information about what happened is limited to the video which you all saw.

[greatseal]

And how are we supposed to prevent anyone else from just being taken the same way they were? You have to have a better plan than to just do exactly what they did and hope we have more firepower this time.

[otakuro]

Yeah. I ran some tests... The data responsible for the blanks aren't just corrupted; they're totally gone altogether. I think that's as good as we're going to get.

[voice]

[fools_journey]

[ Yeah pretty much this. Minato has nothing to add, so he's just going to listen and wait for Kandori to say... whatever else he has to say. ]

[youonlylivethrice]

[That's great, he could care less about the giant chickens, to be honest, but not that he'd tell you.]

Good. The trip is tonight.

[a_pirate_meant_to_be]

I'll bring the trail mix.

[youonlylivethrice]

[Well he could use the brainless peons armswork.]

The trip is tonight. Bring what you need.

[voice]

[youonlylivethrice]

[That sounded a little too much like the kids he knew. As long as you weren't going to cause trouble...]

The trip is tonight. Bring what you need.

[voice] never too late.

[youonlylivethrice]

Very well. The trip is tonight. Bring what you need.
