[It's at some point between Kurama's own experiences with the glitching that he thinks to check on the others. Hopefully, while they are also in their normal states, but the unpredictable nature of things makes it hard to hazard a guess when that might be, or if it was even possible to catch everyone at the right moment.]
In light of recent events, it seems prudent to confirm everyone's current status. Be cautious, there is no telling how long this will continue.
[ Hiei, of course, has no idea how something like a tablet works. He can fumble through, and learns quickly enough, but he will never admit as much when it comes to using this thing.
As it stands the video reply from him is mostly the top of his head and the Jagan ward.
[And Yukina looked at the tablet before raising an eyebrow or two. This was quite the adjustment on using this strange technology but from what she gathered? This seemed like the correct way to use it.]
[Yusuke's gotten the tablet more or less figured out pretty quickly, at least. It's surprisingly convenient, even if it makes all sorts of annoying noises all the time and sometimes he keeps it shut in a drawer on purpose.
But the check-in also has him thinking, so he adds, after a moment:]
You think we should -- do something to show we're the real deal or whatever? This whole thing feels like that time the old hag made me try to figure out which of you guys got replaced by an imposter...
[Poor Hiei, he'd be laughing right now in just about any other context, but- maybe he'll advise him on that later.
In the meantime:]
Did you have an idea to make that work? Genkai set that lesson up specifically to teach us, we were handed our opponent's weaknesses. If you recall, the point was that it will not be so easy in a real confrontation. I'm not sure anyone knows what's causing these glitches, and a solution will certainly not be as simple as punching our way through imposters, either way.
Besides, I'm not sure that has anything to do with what's going on here. I have been... myself. Just another version of myself.
[This message is far more strained than the previous check-in, and this time Kurama isn't starting out with video.]
It would be wise for us to stay in contact for the foreseeable future. The unpredictable nature of this place is certainly taking its toll on those they call Chosen, it's best that we stay safe, however we can until a solution is determined.
Kurama. [ Hiei is keyed up, that vicious growl in the back of his throat even through the devices. He hasn’t thought about turning on video, but perhaps that’s for the better with Yukina involved.
Lest she get a video of a very familiar corpse that Hiei is knelt down next to right now. ]
[ Does he want to talk about this in front of Yukina? Not really. He knows she will have an emotional reaction and doesn't particularly want to be the one to deliver the blow so to speak.
But here he goes anyway - ]
Yusuke.. [ One more hesitation, here. ] ... Yusuke is dead.
[The morning of his revival, casually and completely without fanfare:]
hey i'm back again really oughta bother koenma to make me one of those punch card things for dying when we get back spirit world owes me a free sandwich at LEAST
[does he want to speak with his mouth sounds right now and Be Perceived ... the haunting question of whether talking or typing is more effort.
...
Talking wins, if only because he decides he is not actually in the mood for autocorrect to be turning his fucks into ducks. Have a perfectly intact Yusuke on your screen, apparently without a scratch on him. This is fine and normal.]
No? Guess that'd explain why there's no ghosts around here if that's true, but it seems so wrong somehow.
[The Spirit World and everything connected to it feels like such an intrinsic part of his life, now. It's weird even knowing there were many years he was simply unaware of its existence. The notion that it might simply have no reach over life and death in this space is ... unsettling, at best.]
Is the date on this thing right, by the way? Says it's been a whole week but it doesn't feel like it.
Yes, well. There are... Other underworlds as well, even back home.
[Religion is a thing. Not that he's going to get into that, especially with the subject change. He pauses long enough to look at his own tablet before answering.]
The date is correct. I am uncertain how revival works here, asking around has not provided very useful answers. However, it seems to be how it went for everyone who died in this recent event, as well.
