[Arrow Seventeen] : [Locked from Hostiles]

[spirit_kanji]

The spirit that's going around causing people to collapse...

[there's a very long pause here. Doumeki's voice doesn't raise, yet some how he sounds absolutely furious]

She is a Zashiki-warashi. A child spirit. She lives with Kimihiro, my self, and the rain spirit Ame-warashi. Some one... something is controlling her. Causing her to do this.

Zashiki-warashi would never, ever do something like this on her own. She made that mistake once and swore never to do it again. She is not an enemy. Whatever happens, do not attack her. She doesn't deserve that...

The souls she took can be returned. But... there's a time limit... and some of them are already starting to fade.

She was almost herself again when we found her. She was snapping out of it.

But ... there was... a Digimon that arrived. A Renamon, I believe... it said some kind of spell. She's trapped with him and whoever he belongs to and can't get out. I think she might be returning to whoever that is.

If you find her... try to bring her home. Maybe we can find some way to break this...

How do we detain her without harming her?

[spirit-kanji.livejournal.com]

She... probably needs to be knocked out... or grabbed before she can become intangible and fly away.

[survive-it-all.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'll do my best to not hurt her if I find her.

[rain-kanji.livejournal.com]

She's ...

[ she sounds. so. furious. ]

When I find whoever did this to her, I swear I won't hesitate to hurt them. Badly.

[spirit-kanji.livejournal.com]

I won't stop you. Just keep yourself from getting hurt or taken.

[fireybrush.livejournal.com]

... So we're dealing with a girl with the power to take souls, who is under some sort of spell compelling her to do so.

... We will find and recover her. Somehow. We have to... I'm not letting Haku lose anyone again.

[spirit-kanji.livejournal.com]

[! hello, did not know that]

Who... did she take that Yowane-san knows?

[fireybrush.livejournal.com]

Yowane was not specific, but her word choice implied at least one Vocaloid or UTAU, someone named Nick...

Please, try and find those affected. Allow me and others to worry about finding who is responsible... And stopping them.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

So, that's what it is... At least now we know she's being controlled.

We'll get to the bottom of this and find out who's doing it. I promise.

[spirit-kanji.livejournal.com]

Thank you...

I'm not sure what we can do, but Kimihiro and I will help.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

How long does it take for the soul to fade? Furthermore, how much time do we have to reconnect the soul to the person's body?

[onlysaneguy.livejournal.com]

Kinda sad what's gonna happen to her soon. She looked like a cutie too.

[spirit-kanji.livejournal.com]

Nothing is going to happen to her.

[arc-saver.livejournal.com]

...

Were you able to tell what kind of spell was being said? Did you recognize a language?

[spirit-kanji.livejournal.com]

I couldn't hear all of it, but it sounded... Buddhist. And he had ofuda... he used them on her to regain control.

[godkingillyria.livejournal.com]

If it can be controlled, it is weak. Shall it come to the domain of the green one, I will destroy it.

[spirit-kanji.livejournal.com]

She is a child. She's innocent in this.

[unyusual-girl.livejournal.com]

So...all we gotta do is knock her out to get the souls back?

If it's a spell we need we can talk to M.A.G.I right? I mean they do all sorts of magic and you've already dealt with this before so...I mean one of my friends is destined to be one of the greatest witches in my world we gotta be able to do something right?

[spirit-kanji.livejournal.com]

That's what we're hoping...

[sisterofninjas.livejournal.com]

... We don't really have any choice but to attack her if she shows up. If she's being controlled, she'll show up to do this again...

[spirit-kanji.livejournal.com]

She will, but if you attack her you're only going to hurt an innocent.

[gaialibrarian.livejournal.com]

Very interesting information about the suspect - or in this case suspects. A child spirit controlled by a digimon or perhaps said digimon's partner. I will make sure to take note of this.

I will tell you right now that I give no guarantee that there will be no harm to her, but there will be as little injury as possible to her.

[spirit-kanji.livejournal.com]

She's already hurt. What's being done to her is damaging her.

[rider-accel.livejournal.com]

If you know this much, do you know any way that she can possibly be tracked down?

[spirit-kanji.livejournal.com]

No. She left her D-Comm back in her room... the only reason we were able to find Nadeko-chan was because she had hers on her at the time she got attacked.

Unfortunately Zashiki-warashi is also capable of flight.
