[Since the return of the students who fell victim to Cairngorgon's machinations a couple days ago, there's been a person poking around a couple places on the island and in Domino City. They're wearing a traveling cloak, including a hood up over their head that keeps them pretty much totally obscured. Besides loitering around and looking out of place, they're not really doing anything. They seem to be keeping to themselves at least.

At Duel Academy, they're mostly hanging around the Osiris Red Dorm, inspecting the damage done the previous week. In Domino City, they're exploring with a wider net, looking around the park and various places throughout the city.

...they also seem to be hanging around Sakana a lot, but never heading inside. The farthest they get is venturing into the courtyard and pacing around.]

Oh! That's right! You won't know about that.

It's what the Spirit Foundation was renamed to. At the end of last year we found out that the Arcadia Movement had hit some really bad times and were on the verge of closing, so Juudai decided to merge the Spirit Foundation with it. With the move, he renamed it to SAI, which stands for 'Spirit Arcadia Institute'.
So we don't just deal with things concerning duel spirits now, but we also help those in the area that have unusual powers or abilities, whether it's psychic abilities or other abilities.

...

[She takes in a breath and releases it.]

I see.

I'm glad he stepped in. There's a lot of people who depended on the Arcadia Movement.

[She looks up at Ruka and gives her a little smile.]

So you're a spirit researcher? That really fits you.

[voicesofspirits]

*Ruka nods.*

Yes. I focus my own research on the bonds between spirits and humans and what that can accomplish, but I do a lot of research on their world too.
I also do research that Juudai or others at the foundation request me to help with if there is ever an issue concerning spirits or their world that needs looking into.

[naturalcure]

Hm.

Have you ever done any research on the forest?

[voicesofspirits]

You mean Naturia Forest?
I haven't had the chance to yet, but I've been interested in learning more about it.

[naturalcure]

[Isabel smirks a little.]

You can learn about it right now, if you want. It's where I've been living.

[voicesofspirits]

Really? It is?

*Her eyes seem to light up.*

I'd love to know everything about it!

[naturalcure]

[Now, Isabel takes the opportunity to sense. She's still smirking a bit.]

Well, if you get me a glass of water so I don't talk myself hoarse, I'll gladly tell you everything I know.

[voicesofspirits]

*Ruka looks very visibly excited!
One glass of water later, she's sat down on the sofa with a pen and a notepad, ready to take notes and everything. She's so eager to hear about the forest and to take notes of interest.*

[naturalcure]

[She takes a sip from her glass of water.]

I guess I should start from the beginning...a long time ago, there was an incredibly powerful knight named Gian and an incredibly fearsome dragon who people called "Terra". The two of them faced each other in battle countless times, and eventually, one of their fights brought them to the site of a great Sacred Tree...

[She continues on from there and probably for quite some time.]
