[Backdated to roughly 7 hours after the end of the special CERES tours.]

Yuya-kun! Are you still alive?! The trip to CERES was a trap, please tell me you didn't go there!

[ridethathippo]

Wha-- Are you serious?! [Goddammit, first CERES pulls all these weird spooky things, gets a change in owners, and now everything is a trap.]

I didn't, I'm okay! What happened?

[jyajyaaan]

Phew, that's great! I didn't know who of my friends were all going...!

[He pauses for a moment, breathing tense. It's obvious that he is thinking about how to say it.]

We were made to split up and then left alone with some security robots in a high security tract. No two minutes later they tried to shoot us.

[ridethathippo]

..................Somehow, that's not surprising.

[THERE! HE SAID IT! Same old Ceres.]

Did anyone get hurt? You weren't shot, were you?

[jyajyaaan]

Oh no, not me! I think at least two of the others, though.

[Is that really a good thing? He didn't really pay too much attention to it after they said that they all could still keep going.]

We made a hole into a wall and escaped through an old room that led us to a chained up lady. She hated CERES very much.

[ridethathippo]

[He'll...just assume they ALL managed to get out without anyone dying.]

So they're keeping someone prisoner? Do you know why?

[jyajyaaan]

[Don't worry, if somebody had died Vector would have mentioned it gleefully by now.]

Yes. A pretty lady with hands like claws. But I don't know why, none of us could understand her at first and when she switched to our language there wasn't enough time. All I know is that she doesn't like Ceres.

[That and that they want some kind of information from her that badly enough that they'll try whatever it takes to make her give it, including locking her up 24/7 surveillance and what he is damn sure was a setup of them as potential 'saviors' stumbling upon her.]

[ridethathippo]

[omg vector]

...I don't think Ceres would need to lock someone like us up since they have our code, so she must be from whatever is left beyond this place.

[The most obvious guess would be a flamines with all the security that has been required. But just because she hates Ceres doesn't mean much considering how bad the organization is to begin with.]

How did she switch languages? Like she knew it beforehand?

[jyajyaaan]

That's a good point. [He thinks for a moment.] She didn't react when I asked her if she's a flamine.

She spoke it like somebody who had learned a second language. Like... She knows it, but it's not what she usually uses. That kind of accent.

[ridethathippo]

[Yuya doesn't like the idea of someone being captive, but if it IS a flamine, then it would also be bad if she got out.]

I don't like the sound of any of this. It's bad news all over. [Although--] Maybe she didn't recognize what flamine meant? Assuming that if she's a flamine, it's weird that they're keeping her in the building with all the Nexus related stuff. So that would make it more likely that she's not...but then we still don't who she is.

[jyajyaaan]

Yeah... It's a mystery. I really wonder why they wanted to let all that information get out as well.

[Since they even brought him home and pulled the blanket cover over him.]

In any case, I think that things will get bad from now on. Worse than what has been happening so far.

[ridethathippo]

[Awww, Ceres actually being considerate.]

Right...I'll get ready. [More like plan on talking to the Arc V crew but get sent back home before that can happen. Oops.]

Who else have you told?

[jyajyaaan]

I'm trying to alert most people I know. Definitely all the duelists.

[Because that's such a good plan, right?]

[ridethathippo]

Alright. Thanks for the heads-up. [Even though he's kind of at a loss at what the future may hold. Geez, he hates fighting...]

[jyajyaaan]

Don't mention it. [In which sense? Maybe both. He nods and ends the feed.]
