[It's almost terrifying the clarity of the image Hanako sees in his mind's eye, Crimson's face so clear and vivid, it was almost like he was looking at her himself. But... that couldn't be possible-- his Haku-Joudai weren't advanced enough to do anything beyond basic messages, and certainly nothing they could see themselves. Even without a proper body at the moment, he could still feel himself go cold as she leans with that warning, and then--]
KKH--!
[A lance of pain shoots through him as his Haku-Joudai abruptly snuffs out, the sensation all that more unsettling considering the muted nature of his usual injuries. Perhaps because the blow was directed at him and not Sam that Hanako managed to keep a hold on his possession, but his mind was still in a tizzy regardless. Never mind how Crimson was able to do that to his scout-- seriously, he'd never seen anyone do that, ever, to one of his ghost lil' guys-- but it was her warning (or was it a command?) that had set his alarm bells at maximum volume. The ominous shaking of the ground made her message entirely too clear-- they had to leave. NOW.
But with Chaosbringer and Decadence intent on pouring oil on this already chaotic fire (not that they know what was going on, exactly-- dammit, why didn't his possession skill cover more ground?), and Crimson watching their every move, it felt like things were going from bad to worse. When he finally speaks up again in D's head, there's a hint of panic in his voice.]
NO. Crimson wants us out. I saw it, she--
[He lets out a frustrated sound, realizing it was probably not D he should be warning, but Zeke instead. She wasn't the one stabbing the ground, after all!]
I'm going over to Chaos Guy! Just tell the old guy with the shades that we gotta pull back ASAP or else we might be in serious trouble!
[And at that, he hops out of D and immediately into Zeke, his voice laced with desperation as he tries to get his attention within his head.]
CHAOS GUY! You gotta stop!! Crimson's not looking to be rescued-- she told me herself! We need to leave, now, before we make this any worse!
