How is everyone's lockdown going so far?

Barring other, recent, events.

^•ﻌ•^ฅ

A question out of idle curiosity while we're all under quarantine.

Would anyone happen to know if the current illness is capable of being transmitted from Outsiders to this world's denizens? While we seem to be immune, I still wonder about our ability to still transmit it to others.

[It's a very quick image of Cagalli standing in front of a random wall at the Kyoto base, looking solemn yet still put together. No crash outs here. She's letting someone else do that.]

As of now, Yzak's name can be added to the list of confirmed rift related disappearances. This matches up with Raidou's list, but please keep an eye on each other anyway. Taking dumb chances now is the last thing we need.

Where are we on finding an exact location in Iraq?

As an important aside, his mobile suit is also missing. Being tied to our machines like this is new, it's not something we dealt with back home.

[ the feed starts with denji facing the screen. sweat and blood mix on his dirt-smeared skin, streaks that trail from a hidden injury behind the messy curls on his forehead. for anyone who fought by his side, they will know why he's a gory mess. his expression is hard to place— his brows furrowed, jaw clenched tight, but behind it all, there is something quieter, something ... brittle; tracks of dried tears curve through the grime on his cheeks, barely noticeable beneath the mess, but it's there. at least he's somewhat sober and not too out of control? well, on screen. an hour ago, it was a different story-

-hence why a familiar face is sitting next to him, the one who had to deal with that mess and knock some sense into him. his tone is a bit rough, a bit shaky. ]

... Katsuki's gone. [ god. just saying those words ... ] I tried to grab him before he got pulled in, held on for as long as I could ... but I couldn't save him.

And ... [ he glanced over raidou. ] ... Yuji's gone, too.

[ raidou is similarly streaked with blood in places, thanks to trying to calm his hysterical friend. quite the feat when he was on the brink of a freak out himself. instead, he sits near denji, eyes away, glassy and distant. when denji mentions yuji's name, his eyes finally refocus. his voice is a quiet croak.]

... I'm sorry. My theory was incorrect.

[ that's it. raidou will not be responding to any texts the next few days, try as one might. if you want to talk to him, you'll have to come find him.]

[When the feed cuts on, it may not be clear who it is the camera is focused on, because instead of there just being regular old happy Yato, there's a raging god with dark wisps emanating from his entire being along with red sclera glaring angrily as he seethes. When he talks, his voice drips with venom, low and dangerous.]

Raidou's theory is being proven right - Hiyori got sucked into a rift as well. I'm going in after her, damn the consequences.

[Somebody may need to sit on him...]
