Alright, listen up!

I've been out here looking for Zashiki-warashi, and I still haven't found her, but I'm watching these broadcasts and I got one thing to say-

If you dunderheads so much as harm a hair on that child's head, I'll find some way to hurt you all!

That said... no, I don't have any way of tracking her, but if it helps... she gives off little firefly-like lights. Usually if you see a couple of those around, she's somewhere close.

...

But I mean it when I say I'll hurt anyone who harms her!

I can try knockout gas but we only have so many options.

[child-kanji.livejournal.com]

Think of more options then!

[unyusual-girl.livejournal.com]

I'm open to suggestions.

The most important thing is to rescue everyone including her. Don't let your feelings get in the way of doing what's best for her when the time comes.

I don't know! I just want my tamer back and normal!

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, we'll try what we can to not harm her. From what's been said, she's already hurting, so it'd be ineffective to thrust more pain on to her.

...Firefly-like lights. Okay, that'll help my search. Thank you.

[child-kanji.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY! So just bring her back unharmed and I won't have to go on a rampage!

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Got it! You can count on me!

And, like, my tamer, Ame? She'll be head huntin' if ya'll harm a hair on her girlyfriend's hair, too.

I can't say the same, though, hun. It'd mess up my nails too much~

... useless waste of data.

It's not her fault? That's all well and good, but you must realize, she's putting others in danger.

Nobody wants to harm an innocent, but if she attacks someone else and a choice must be made, I don't think you'll be able to convince anyone to let another person's essence be ripped out if they can stop it...

You just don't get it, do you? No one but those two human boys gets it!

That power over her is corrupting her spirit! She's ALREADY hurt! So if you hurt her more, guess what? She's going to die.

I'm NOT losing my tamer! I'll find her first if I have to!

I understand where you're coming from, and I sympathize with you.

But people have had their souls ripped out, with twenty-four hours to live. How many are there? How many MORE will there be?

I encourage you to find her first. IF you can snap whatever's got its claws in her.

Otherwise, you don't want ANYTHING finding her. How many hours are left before someone dies? Before someone else loses their tamer? Their friend?

There's a ticking clock, and when time runs out, you either need a cure, or you need to be prepared for whatever comes next.

Grr...

I can assure you we don't intend to hurt her unnecessarily.

That said, we have to figure out a means OF restraining her should it come down to it, and how to free her of her manipulator's influence.

[child-kanji.livejournal.com]

Only thing I can think of is knocking her out some how...

[rider-accel.livejournal.com]

Does she have any particular weaknesses? Not necessarily ones that would be fatal, but something that could perhaps weaken her without hurting her.
