[The video opens up on Fushimi standing by a pile of hay stacked in a vaguely humanoid manner and some throwing knives stuck in it. Fushimi pulls them out and shows the camera that all four of them are pretty normal. He moves back, still visible in the camera, and prepares to throw throw two of them.

They catch fire and the hay-target starts to burn.]

That's normal.

[Fushimi grabs a nearby bucket of water to douse the flames before throwing the next two.

These gain a strange bluish aura that seems to make them sharper or at least more durable. The hay-target is obliterated.

He turns to the camera]

That only happened a few days ago. Someone want to explain it?

[Or: Fushimi freaked out when he saw Munakata's Sword during the event and accidentally called on the blue aura. So that's a thing!]

I'm not the weird one here. You're the one that just made your fire or whatever go blue.

[monkeyblue]

It's not the fire, it's something different entirely. Same sort of power, from what I can tell, but not the same thing.

[ Which has Yata pausing for a moment with a curious look. And immediately making this private. ]

Do you have another mark like the one I have? A different one?

[ Private ]

[monkeyblue]

No. I checked.

[ Private ]

[thevanguard]

[ Yata heaves a frustrated sigh. ]

Just when I think I find a theory that makes sense...

[ Private ]

[monkeyblue]

Not my fault. I didn't ask for this.

[IRONY]

[ Private ]

[thevanguard]

[ You sure about that, you damn monkey? ]

I wasn't saying you did. Just that this makes the whole thing even more confusing.

[ Private ]

[monkeyblue]

Tch, you're telling me. It's stupid.

[ Private ]

[thevanguard]

Well. At least it's useful? Probably?

[ Private ]

[monkeyblue]

I can think of a few ways to use it, yeah. It's a forcefield after all.

[ Private ]

[thevanguard]

Does that mean it's more like the Borderline we're supposed to make?

[ Private ]

[monkeyblue]

I'm not sure. I need a place to test it out that won't scare the horses.

[ Private ]

[thevanguard]

[ He would offer, but that would be a very bad idea right now... he casts a wary glance over his shoulder, as if even thinking about it would be enough to get him in trouble.

But after a moment, he glances back to the screen, an idea occurring to him. ]

What about one of the abandoned temples?

[ Private ]

[monkeyblue]

I thought they vanished when they were empty. That would work, though.

[ Private ]

[thevanguard]

There's a couple that stuck around. I don;t know why, but I know Goten was training in some a few days ago.

[ Private ]

[monkeyblue]

We can find a few and train there, then. And make sure that kid isn't around when we do it.

[ Private ]

[thevanguard]

[ yata blinks. ]

Uh. Okay. Why?

[ Private ]

[monkeyblue]

Read the threads with him.

[ Private ]

[thevanguard]

[ He'd been distracted, but now he goes back to look.

And just starts laughing, not even trying to hide it from Saru. ]

Aww. Look! You made a new friend!

[ Private ]

[monkeyblue]

[If looks could kill...]

I will stab you. Many times.

[ Private ]

[thevanguard]

No, you won't.

So when are we gonna go train with Izumo and Goten?

[ Private ]

[monkeyblue]

Never.

[ Private ]

[thevanguard]

Ah, come on. he's actually a really good fighter. You might learn something new.

...Or you could get your ass handed to you by a kindergartner. In which case, I guess I can see why you'd be reluctant.

[ Private ]

[monkeyblue]

I don't like children. Especially not ones who can't get the hint.

[ Private ]

[thevanguard]

Maybe you're just bad at children. Or hints. Or both.
