4th Update [Action/Video]

[totally_blue]

[It's exact midnight, Dark Hour time, and the video shows Kaito sitting alone at the open street, humming this song. His voice reaches the alleyways, if someone happened to be there. There's also slight pause in the middle of the song, as he slashes a rather weak Shadow before he sits back.]

So, after everything's happened, the numbers of them decreases after the full moon? That's good. I don't have to patrol around the streets three times a week.

[Continues whistles the song, as he has nothing much to do.]

That's true. You can learn a lot about running a group from yakuza. [I wonder what Haruhi was thinking about when creating the SOS Brigade...]

So you're saying the Shadows aren't that smart?

[totally_blue]

...I'll pass on that suggestion.

[Please, yakuza for brigade is no-no.]

I would say, they're half smart.

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Half-smart? [She gives him a look that could melt his face. She usually reserves those looks for Kyon.]

Okay, the term is "dumb" or "stupid". But it actually makes sense that the Shadows are dumb. They're lower-level in the hypothetical monster organization, right? The top-tier monsters are sending out the shadows to do their dirty work. But since the Shadows aren't that bright, they're given minimal tasks, like causing mayhem and attacking us. But they're alot of them, so if they get killed off it doesn't matter.

[Kaito blinks. How on earth she got a lot of information on them? Shadows aren't easy to find in the dictionary. Looks like he almost underestimate his own boss.]

So they're now... regrouping eventually?

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

I guess? [She shrugs] I'm just saying if they act like a yakuza or mafia. It could be something else.

[totally_blue]

I don't like the sound of it. Mafia shadows versus Brigade team.

[Shivering...]

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Well if they are like a mafia we just need to think like them. If I were them, I'd bring out another big boss soon, don't you think? Everyone's had some time to relax since the last big battle, but they're lulling us into a false sense of security or something.

[totally_blue]

Oh... right. That means we will never caught off-guard by them even they're up to something. If they send another big boss, we got our own big boss to deal with them. Good thinking.

...So uh, who's our big boss by the way?

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Hell if I know. I'd like to know what the heck those Shadows are in the first place.

[She sighs.] Mysteries are fun, but tiring.

[totally_blue]

Don't worry, boss! Just leave it to me! This could take for awhile to investigate, but I'll be collect resourceful information.

[realitywarper.livejournal.com]

Knew I could count on you Kaito! Now if only the other brigade members showed that much initiative.

[totally_blue]

Boss should start making plans then.
