8th Fan Assault | Video

[firefandance]

[Yukiko had been resting since the incident. She had been tired from using her Persona too much and now that she had rested she figured she should at least speak to people and not keep to herself right now. Even if she did have some things to think over. So with the device in hand she switched on, a small smile on her face. In the background her pokemon were currently playing or fighting with air.]

Hi there. It's been a while since I spoke to any of you and now that... The situation is over and done with and I feel better I have a few things I need to say.

[Her smile fades slightly, her eyes looked down, away fro the device. She couldn't help but feel like she had been partly responsible for what had happened.]

Firstly... I am sorry for not speaking up about someone from my world. I thought I could keep an eye, but it seems that I was wrong. If I had just spoken up to begin with then maybe... None of what happened would have happened.

[She did feel like she had to take a lot of the blame onto herself if anyone needed someone to blame.]

Secondly, I apologize to those who get taken because of it and for the fact I couldn't help. [She figured that was all, right? There wasn't much else she had left to say.]

That is all, really. Thank you for listening.

[Levy knows at least one person who wasn't saved but she's been trying to learn more of the others.]

Are you okay? This isn't your fault Yukiko.

[Her brow furrows slightly.]

It's not always easy to see how people will act here.

[firefandance]

[That was the problem. She had the feeling he would act exactly like this. She had never trusted him, but yet had managed to mess it up royally. She believed that honestly, she was the only one who could be able to do it.

She still felt awful about it.]

I... had an idea that he could have done this again. Or at least the kidnapping thing. I didn't know he would go as far as he did, however.

[Levy continues to smile.]

It's in the past now. He's gone and everyone is safe. Just keep learning, that's all we really can do.

[She doesn't want to see her friend beat themselves up over this.]

Video; Private

[firefandance]

I am learning. I mean I learnt that I am not as capable as I thought I had been before.

[And that she couldn't handle one guy by herself it seemed.]

[one of ludger's good friends had been taken, so of course he felt like responding to this. he hadn't been able to go along on the rescue mission, a group had left before he could act, but at least all was now well.]

Even if you had spoken up who knows what might have happened, I don't see how you could be blamed for any of it.

[firefandance]

More people might have kept an eye... That's what my mind keep thinking at least.

[As for why she felt like she was partly at fault for it was because of such a thought.]

[eternalwaltz]

They may have had a better understanding of things, and kept an eye out, but... if they can be overpowered, then they would have gotten kidnapped anyways.

I guess I'm just trying to say that we should focus on the present, and try to prevent anything like that from happening again.

[firefandance]

[If she could get rid of the damn sub archway she would. If it was possible to burn it to the ground she would do it.]

Focus on the present. I guess I can do that, or try at least.

[southpaw_senpai]

I'm just glad we got there in time. But still, stop blaming yourself, Amagi-san. This isn't any more your fault than the Inaba case was.

[He switches over to a private feed.]

What were you going to say anyway? That some psycho could kill people by shoving them into TV's? You were right to keep it to yourself, Yukiko. Especially if he hadn't done anything here. For the same reasons you guys couldn't go to the Inaba police.

What's done is done, you and Naoto-kun deserve normal lives from here on. Let me handle any Shadow related stuff from now on, okay?

[firefandance]

[As much as she didn't like her home room teacher she had always felt bad about that case. Although that was something else completely after all. Though she also knew they just were not experienced detectives, so of course they would make mistakes. Maybe it was the same in this case.]

No, I would have warned of a very dangerous man without giving weird exact details away except to those who know about what I am able to do. I would trust those people and yet... I didn't even tell them.

[She shook her head slightly.]

Can't just agree to that. I technically work for a group here that deal with situations that aren't normal. So pretty much no normal life I can have all the time.

[southpaw_senpai]

[He shakes his head, stern look still firmly planted on his face.]

I know his type. Even if you had spoken up, he would've played the victim and made you out to be the bad guy, getting him closer to more innocents. The blame rests solely on his shoulders, not yours.

[That stern look however, melts a moment later into a sort of proud smirk.]

I had a feeling you'd say that, but... can't blame me for trying.

[jerks22]

Yeah a heads-up on the would-be serial killer would've been nice. But I think he only killed one person, so thankfully he's just your every day murderer. Christ, wasn't he at that dating auction thing? As in, might wind up with another girl, alone kinda auction?

Maybe next time clue people in when Hannibal waltzes through the door, ****-for-brains.

[firefandance]

Counting back home he would actually qualify as a serial killer. But that is besides the point.

[And she had been awfully aware of that one you moron.]

Yes and I did try and stop that, but... A girl threw in a last second bid. But nothing seemed to happen.

[She sighs slightly. Sure she was blaming herself, but seriously didn't need this of all things.]

You do realize Hannibal was someone who ate people, right?

[jerks22]

Oh-ho-ho, I get it. You were trying to date the guy. So that's what turns you on, eh? No wonder you didn't squeal.

Well he's gone now, so it's looks like you'll have to find some other psychotic to rev your engine.

Get help.

You are not at fault for any of this, Miss Yukiko.

[ She's finally fully recovered and able to go back to work, even if something about Adela has hardened since her own kidnapping. Still, even if it's probably already been said, she should probably say it once more. ]

There were a lot of people willing to help where you could not, but who should really take blame for all of this is the man who threw us all into that world in the first place. I admit I do still want to go at him myself after what I and everyone else has been through. But, I place no blame on you for any of what has happened.

Video

[firefandance]

[She still felt like she had some fault in it and she didn't get why people didn't blame her just a little bit.]

I do agree he has some blame for it. However I could have handled the situation before any of this happened. So in a way I have some blame for this.

Video

[enchantressofore]

Were you the one who tried to trick me? Did you knock me out and throw me into that place?

[ She shook her head at the feed, frowning more severely. ]

I refuse to place blame on you where you deserve none. He is the one who decided to continue his wrong-doings here.

[Blaze had only just been released from the hospital a couple days ago, and the events were still fresh in his mind. He couldn't stay quiet, because he certainly knew what it was like to blame oneself for events beyond their control, as his Shadow so kindly pointed out.]

I'm sure you had your reasons to keep details quiet. Don't blame yourself for what happened.

video;

[firefandance]

Sorry, I can't help but blame myself. I could have done something after all.

[At least in her mind she had been very confident about it. It was not easy to just let it go and keep moving forward from it.]

video;

[ghostofrazgriz]

[There was no sense in arguing that. He knows all too well how once the thought of 'I could have prevented this' got cemented in the mind, it was difficult to get out.]

If nothing else, we don't blame you for what happened. The blame of Adachi's actions only fall on him.

[And ho boy, would Blaze like to have a few kind words with Adachi after this. But no sense in getting wrapped up in ideas of revenge.]

[oniwabanokashira]

[As a spy, there are few things he values more than information. He does think advance warning from her would've influenced things; this is Genessia, and it's more likely for people to heed warnings from credible sources, no matter how wild they might sound. But it really doesn't matter now.]

I doubt knowing would have stopped the kidnappings. Don't apologize for another's sins.

Video

[firefandance]

I'm not blaming myself for his actions after. I just blame myself for letting it happen in the first place.

[That was all really.]

[Still getting himself back on his feet after being discharged from the hospital, Luke can't go see Yukiko himself. But he can reply to the video, which he does, enthusiastically--]

Miss Amagi! You're all right!

Video

[firefandance]

Yes, I'm alright.

[She smiled slightly. But after that moment it fades.]

I could handle myself for the most party but... I'm sorry I couldn't have helped you.

Video

[lookprofessor]

It's okay!

[Despite the fact that Luke still looks a bit worse for wear in his video reply, it does not seem to be curbing his enthusiasm. At all.]

That guy--that...that whoever who did this--I bet they did that on purpose. Sometimes not being able to help someone is even worse than being in danger yourself, right? [Sheepishly, Luke glanced off screen, swallowing.]
