[The video opens on...someone who is definitely not Chinatsu, sitting on a stark white couch in front of smooth earthen walls. It's a woman in her early to mid 20s, wearing a yukata in a careless enough manner that it's listing badly to one shoulder, with her hair done in a circular curl on one side of her head, finished with a shining, formal pin despite the abundance of hairs that have come loose of the hairdo. The arm holding the phone has a network of very faint knife scars down it, only visible because of her sleeves being tied up right now so as not to get in the way.
Though she's clearly not feeling it, she manages to force a smile and wave to open the conversation.]
Hello everyone. I'm not Chinatsu-kun, which you must already know if you know her, but I'd like to thank her for lending me her phone. This is...something I think I should say myself.
[Her attempt at a smile collapses quickly into something more strained and worried, though she manages to salvage it to collect herself into a more serious, but still grave manner.]
I haven't met most of you, but my name is Kotori, and I'm one of the shinki to Kurosaki Shun, otherwise known as Nekhbet. [She bites her lip a bit, keeps going.] I know there's some of you I should've told this to personally, and I'm sorry to them, but...he's missing. Not gone like what happens to you newcomers sometimes, just--
[Letting out a breath, she tracks back to an explanation.] He took me on an early morning patrol on the 11th. Maybe two or three AM, it's not uncommon for him to run out at that hour...but one of the places he wanted to check was that forest that moves around the Heavens. I think some of you might know what I'm talking about already. It's been...worse, in the last few days. Like it's reaching out to us. It had already been getting worse, but this...
[She grits her teeth, running a hand through her hair.] Don't let anyone else near it alone. I don't know what happened that day, I couldn't see it when I was a vessel, and all I could hear was the trees. And then I was changed back and he ordered me to run, and he never gives orders unless it's-- [Another break off, like she's angry with herself for having to pause so much, before she takes a deep breath.] I was lucky to find the edge of the forest, but he wasn't with me. That forest took him, and I don't think Kurosaki-sama is the only one. I don't think it's going to end by itself. I could feel it on my heels when I ran, and I can still feel it now...like it's trying to lure us and keep us there. Have any of you felt it too? Or seen others taken by it?
It needs to be stopped. And I don't know how to do it...but I can try and help you all a little if you're going to try. I owe that much.
[[This is the pre-event announcement/lead-in for the Hungry Forest event that begins on IC November 14th. Characters may ask questions of Kotori or discuss disappearances between themselves (or just make certain disappearances public knowledge), or try to plan things out for the next day - whatever helps!]]

he said there are trees that eat people in there ~( ´•︵•` )~
no subject
I'm sorry, Ren-sama, I should've told you when you came. Thankfully, I think if it was one of those who'd taken the people who've disappeared, at least someone would have reported their connection to a god or shinki breaking...
[She still doesn't like the idea of "trees that eat people" anywhere near where Shun and a bunch of others have gone missing, though.]
no subject
that's true. we probably don't have to worry too much as long as that's true.
[At the very least, it means he won't be immediately running into the forest like an idiot and disappearing himself. He has a bit of leeway to plan how much of an idiot to be first. And also how much to tease Shun about this once he's rescued.]
could you find your way back to where he disappeared, if you had to?
no subject
It looks more like there's something going on, with the number of people who seem to be gone...
[Which probably means they don't have to worry so much about anyone being dead as what exactly it is that's being done with them.
At the question, she takes a moment to think.] I'm not sure. I did notice some things as I was running out, but I can't see in vessel form, so I'd have to guess a bit at where exactly it was he was taken. It took me a while to look back.
[She sounds a little ashamed to admit that last bit, but she had been ordered to flee. That instinct to take the order had overridden things at first.]
no subject
Ah, and she's starting to head down a not so good path, for herself or Shun...]
please don't be too hard on yourself, kotori-san. (*￣▽￣)ノ”(´._.`) you did exactly what shun would have wanted you to do.
and we'll definitely find him and bring him back, right? (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و✧
no subject
I know. And we'd be worse off if both of us had ended up gone instead. [Since then they'd all be working on complete guesses as to where everyone had disappeared to.]
It seems like there's going to be a lot of people helping out, so I think you're right that it'll be okay in the end. And then we can all scold him a bit for disappearing on us.
[She's pretty sure there's a line developing for that.]
