When: Around day 87-90
Where: All around the carnival

[Following the recent disappearance of Ginko and Tanyuu’s mushi repellent, there will be a sudden increase in the number of mushi in the carnival this week.

This is a mingle-style log, so just post a toplevel, tag out, and have fun with mushi disasters! Event information and questions are here.]

Ah...the flames in particular are 'floating'; they're fairly unique, so they stand out on their own...

More importantly, as they subsist on heat itself, it should be relatively cold in their area.

[He grimaces however, and shakes a paw of the liquid a moment.] ...Indeed, we do need that repellent however...

[hippocarnival]

So cold fire... at least they're more obvious than I thought. [He crosses his arms.] Why would someone even take it?

[otoko]

That... ...is something that I, the man Gongenzaka, feel many of us are wondering, at this point.

Considering its importance, as well as its uselessness for anything but repellent...

[Gongenzaka shakes his head, forced to sigh.]

I, the man Gongenzaka, cannot even guess.

[hippocarnival]

I hope it's not someone trying to hurt the carnival. Nobody's been hurt so far, have they?

[otoko]

Hmmm, if it were someone aiming to strike the Carnival, it would be far more serious-that much, I, the man Gongenzaka, can say.

More than likely... [Hmmm. He thinks back to the clues thus far.] ...More than likely, whoever did this was at least somewhat unaware of what they were truly doing...

[hippocarnival]

I hope you're right. [Not that it makes it less of a problem, but at least if they didn't mean to and were apologetic... well, there are probably consequences worse than just getting thrown out of the carnival like an unruly guest. But he won't think about that.]

Have any of them been bothering you?

[otoko]

As do I... [He's still barely keeping himself together after the LAST mess. They don't need another 'demon vampire attack'.

Gongenzaka looks to Yuuya almost in surprise for a moment, the question catching him off guard.] Mn...not thus far. Though perhaps, I, the man Gongenzaka, have simply been keeping too mobile...

[hippocarnival]

[Ah. Yuya looks at least relieved to hear that. He'd rather they weren't both dealing with this.] That's good. I guess you're really imposing now, so they know better than to mess with you!

[otoko]

AUH- I, imposing, 'now'? [On the one hand he was told he had that impression BEFORE....on the other, he doesn't want to be imposing at all!!

Ahhh...] ...Well... [He coughs.] With any luck, you will be correct...it will make tracking down the culprit far easier, at least....

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya laughs.] You always stood up for me even if someone was bigger or older, so I guess you had to be a little imposing for that to work.

It'd be really easy if they just came out and said sorry, wouldn't it? If it was just an accident I could forgive them.

[otoko]

I...

[Welp.] ...I, the man Gongenzaka, suppose there is...some truth to those words, [he mumbles sheepishly, shaking the thought off.]

But unfortunately, with how much of this herb was stolen, it is no accident, Yuuya. When this culprit is apprehended...the time they have spent avoiding capture will only make their punishment more severe.
