Kidnapping Magweed and Griffin (if that is indeed what happened) is a very big deal to my cast, and is the kind of thing you should run by me before jumping into something like this. As I've been trying to illustrate in my own stories, there's a certain chain reaction that goes through my cast (as seen in the story of their birth, the crusades through the Mythlands, and even the bit with the reporter more recently) that makes for big trouble in the PV when Maggie and Griff get into danger. They're the pin on the hand grenade for my cast, and I don't want to actually pull that pin too often.
That said, I enjoy seeing Yuki on a case, and the tense exchange between her and Chiaki made for an entertaining twist. It always livens things up a bit when the cast doesn't get along...
