[What's up, Numbered? Have a little news from Lapland. As those who are investigating the child disappearances should be aware of, Toushirou and Dani wound up going missing. Well, here they are. Safe and sound . . . okay well. They're not hurt, anyway. And they have some information.]

Okay, first of all, we're fine; we got caught on purpose to find the kids.

[Toushirou, predictably, doesn't sound very apologetic. But when Dani speaks up? Yeah she kind of does.]

We also knew no one would let us but...

It was the quickest way to find them and it's done. We don't need any grief over it.

Yeah. We found the kids and other things. The kids say that this place is Mt Korvatunturi. Look it up or ask the other people.

There's also a giant block of ice they're trying really hard to melt, but I can take care of that. We can hold things until you get here.

[Dani nods firmly.] Don't worry, we have this covered! Don't worry about it too much until you get here.

[Aren't the children reassuring, folks?]

Danièle Delacroix!

[Oh dear, looks like someone is in trouble...]

Do you even realize how worried you made me? When we get home, you are going to be grounded for a month!

[And pointing an accusing finger at Toushirou now!] And you! I thought you'd know better!

[icy_heavens]

[Okay, Emi's yelling is actually a little scary, but Toushirou doesn't really do this whole looking intimidated thing.] This was a perfectly logical idea and we made sure it was both of us so we could watch each other's backs.

[See, they absolutely had this covered!]

[prismaticdestruction]

[Yeah..Dani winces at the yelling and wilts just a bit.]

But Emi, It had to be done! You wouldn't let me do it otherwise. We kept together and we are okay.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Toushirou!

[Her first thought is concern.

Her second thought is Winter is about to blow through everything in the path between them and him, and frankly Lily's going to be helping.]

That was crazy, and stupid, and...

[Sigh.] We'll be right there.

[icy_heavens]

I said we're fine. [Geez, Lily.] It was the most logical thing to do and if we hadn't let them, they wouldn't have been able to get us at all. We can handle it.

[AFTER ELIAN CALMS DOWN- his handwriting is still very tight and unhappy]

Could you not have told anyone?

Permavideo because he has nothing to write with

[icy_heavens]

They would've tried to stop us.

[PermaVideo]

[prismaticdestruction]

Getting stopped wasn't in the plan.

[peacefulwinter]

[Yes, she sees Lily talking to Toushirou. Yes, she knows she'll be picked up on that conversation if she tries to say anything.

No, she doesn't care right now. She's too angry and worried.]

Toushirou, so help me, when I get you back to somewhere safe I am going to freeze you to the ground and you will regret choosing not to tell us before you did this. I... ugh!

[There's a sound that is not unlike something soft being hurled across a room. Which would be fine, if the thrower didn't have super strength. She winces visibly as a pillow explodes on contact with her cabin's wall, filling material spraying back into her hair.]

You will stay put, not make trouble, and wait for us before you do anything. I am willing to concede that you did a good job, and we'll be there to save you soon. But if you - or Dani - get yourselves hurt in any way, I am not going to be nice about this. Are we clear? [Please be clear, Toushirou, she doesn't want to get any more frustrated and break a second Kindle.]

[icy_heavens]

[He actually flinches the very slightest bit when Winter starts shouting at him. Congratulations; not even Emi's rage accomplished that.]

And it would've been shot down or argued about for days and just wasted time. [Doesn't mean he won't defend it, though.] We're not planning on going anywhere; we're keeping watch over the other kids.

[charcoalfeather]

Y-you guys! Y-you disappeared!

[Excuse Rakka as she has a minor sneezing fit. She was in a lake, you see.]

A-are you hurt or anything?!

[icy_heavens]

[Actually, Toushirou wouldn't understand that anymore. Cold immunity.]

I sad we're fine, didn't I?

[prismaticdestruction]

We are alright. They couldn't hurt us if they tried to!

[moreweaponsthanyou]

So...was it REALLY Santa Clause that was kidnapping the kids? As in a REAL Santa Clause?

[icy_heavens]

If Santa Claus had crazy eyes, nails more like claws, and bled orange, then yeah. And it's not just one.

[prismaticdestruction]

There were too many of them to be the real thing.

Besides, these ones are not nice looking like Santa.

[radiantchicken]

Well done! That was very brave of you both.

[Hey, someone needed to get this done somehow, right? And they seem fine.]

But warning people next time might be a good idea--if we needn't worry, then it would be a good idea to inform the rest of us beforehand.

[Video]

[icy_heavens]

[... Well, it's nice for somebody to not be yelling at them.]

People would have worried and shot down the idea if we'd told them.

[Video]

[prismaticdestruction]

[That actually cheers her up. Getting yelled at was getting to Dani.]

Thank you..but it had to be done this way or else it would never have been let through.

[goldenflames]

Wow you guys... Crazy risk you both took there.

But hey, at least we know where to find you now!

[...Jesus Christ, that vampire's loud!] ...I'm guessing Dani's cousin went nuclear, huh?

[icy_heavens]

It wasn't that bad. [They don't know the enemies are stronger now.]

Yeah, she did.

[prismaticdestruction]

Completely worth the risk. We found them and can protect them better this way until everyone comes to rescue them.

[Yeah....Not touching on the last bit.]

[knights_king]

Guys... [Admittedly, he thought it was brave, but having fought those things--]

You gotta tell somebody when you do things like this.

[icy_heavens]

[In fairness to the kids, the monsters were running on human levels of speed and strength when they were caught.]

Would you all have let us do this if we told you?
