[It's early afternoon. The journal flies open and turns on abruptly in mid-air, a blast of resonating energy having blown it away from where it had been placed. As it flies, a few flashes of red, white, and black are visible, and when it lands, Asch and Luke are in the distance, swords clashing, the rec center just beyond where they're fighting. Occasionally they'll exchange commentary, but none of it seems to filter in.
The resonating noise continues, though, and as their swords clash one more time, it seems to grow even louder than before, until finally one shout rings clear-]
Pull back you dre-
[And before he can even finish, an explosion of light flares between them, and two identical cries of alarm are the only sound that filters through that eerie resonance. The light spreads, flaring outwards and sending the journal flying backwards, cutting off the feed.
The light is probably visible to most of the village as a single beam of light flying up towards the barrier and disappearing from sight. And there is a nice big crater in the forest just south of the rec center, where pretty much anything in that location - trees, bushes, grass, whatever - has... pretty much been decimated. A journal bearing Asch's name on the cover is sitting in the grass just outside of the crater, looking pretty ripped up and charred. The scene overall probably looks pretty dooming, especially since neither of the redheads are anywhere to be found.
[ooc: most responses will come from Luke, though Asch will chime in as well when he can!]

... were the scars what Luke was staring at? They mean very little to her. He got hurt badly, once. Maybe he died, like she did. Would it be so strange? They all have scars... and secrets. If there's some further significance, it's certainly none of her business.
Finally she only nods. ]
It's simple.
[ She lifts a hand, looking down the beach, and a few feet away that swirling oval of darkness reappears. ]
All you have to do is walk through. You'll be in darkness for a little bit, but once you come out the other side you'll be in front of your community housing building.

....Really, really weird sensation, though, to suddenly be standing in a completely different place after passing through that. The teleporters in Daath are nothing like it.]
[Action]
No. No. He can't be... Asch was - Asch was supposed to stay alive and come back to Baticul and take his rightful place and return to his real parents who are so worried and concerned about him - Luke can't lose him, he -
He's stopped scrubbing and has been digging his fingers into his scalp since Asch turned his back on him. It takes Luke blinking and seeing sand at his feet to remind himself of where he is and what's going on, and he looks back to see that the portal is still there, and Asch is gone... they were probably both waiting on him.]
... Oh. Sorry... [He wraps the towel around his shoulders, takes in a breath (which results in a light cough), keeps his eyes to the ground and walks through the portal. The first few times he went through these, he ended up falling flat on his face. But he's gotten... somewhat used to it, enough to save his pride and stay standing once he gets out of the portal.
Asch couldn't have died. That's that. It was just a few bad wounds... That's all.]
[Action]
... well. She's going to have to talk to Asch, isn't she? ]
