Tsugiharu looked at the Moshi ccuriously.

"Humor me, Moshi-san. An indication of what?" he prompted.

"Anooo... that there was more below the surface than what some people think... Or maybe the asteroid was not really a natural occurrence... That it was somewhat planned to teraform the panet. Water is an element of life. We know that." She shook her head "I am saying nonsense Kuchiki san." The girl giggled.

Apparently the Crab wasn't just seeing things. That was....unfortunate.

Still, he looked thoughtful at that.

"Hmm, and yet there is a seed there that give me an idea, Moshi-san. Thank you for that."

"A seed, Kuchiki san?" She was curious. "Ah... anooo what do you think?"

Tsugiharu considered the Mantis, and how much to trust her.

"Hm, it's mostly got me thinking about the spirits that were a part of the asteroid." he admitted. "All celestial bodies have an connection to the spiritual realms, so it's got me wondering about what sort of connection the spirits of the asteroid had."

"Hmmmm... what are the chances of an asteroid hitting a pole of a planet?" She wondered. "Ummm... let me think for a while... Toss me some more information I might be able to connect some dots." It was the urge to aquire knowledge that was speaking to her.

// will pm GMs for information.

Tsugiharu considered the request seriously. What if this was what finally caused her to snap? What if she actually had a good idea? What if Komori Kystal was really fond of reporting things to the Phoenix?

"Hmm...Moshi-san, during your time at the miai...have you communed with the kami at all?" he asked, making a decision.

"No... I haven't... that os worth a shot... maybe with the water... Earth is not my friend." She nodded. Little that Tsuguharu know is that Komori Kystal is not fond of the Phoenix. She doesn't trust them more so after the river incident. "Have you?"

Tsugiharu nods.

"I have communed with the earth." he confirmed. "There is a disaster brewing, one that our hosts are choosing to ignore the warnings of the kami of."

"What did they say?" She was curious. "The Phoenix not listening to the warnings of the kami sounds is weird..." She shook her head. "Would you accompany me to the river... and ask the water kami... anooo that is if you want."

"Well, the words of the kami are cryptic at times. However, if we're interpreting them correctly, it leads one to believe that a cult is attempting to reopen the planet's connection to the spirit realms, flooding the local floral and fauna with spirit energy." he admits.

He hadn't been there, but the idea of supernaturally powered-up Nessie probably did not appeal to the Moshi.

"That is not good. But why?" She was puzzled. "That would alter the balance and make things worse." She shook her head. "Why someone do something so stupid?"

Tsugiharu shrugged.

"As best as I've been able to figure out, they believe it will bring them closer to enlightenment. People have done many foolish things in the past, followed many false paths in the pursuit of it." he offered.

"I see... Sheesh... but that is a big leap." She sighed. "Stupid and blind people do dumb things..." the girl shook her head. "Gomen... that was out of line."

Tsugiharu shooks his head.

"It was honest at least. And as long as you don't consider me stupid and blind, I don't think it's all that discourteous." he said with a small smile.

Atena giggled. "Blind maybe... stupid oh that is a no from me. I am probably the stupid one." The girl shrugged.

That drew a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, really Moshi-san?" he asked, curious about just what she was thinking.

"Well.... intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Knowledge is not the same as knowing..." She gave it some thought. "I know things but that doesn't make me smart."

Tsugiharu chuckles.

"I already know you're not stupid Moshi-san. I was more curious why you think I'm blind."

"Anooo... Kuchiki san... you seem to be looking for something when the answer is in front of you... Perhaps it is the lack of light in your path..." The girl lowered her head. "that don't let you see... what you want to see or you want to... find."
