[ --clicks on to the screech of something inhuman howling its lungs out, and the muffled sounds of someone whose communicator has turned on inside a pocket in the middle of a fight. More screeching, the ring of metal, and several crashing noises until the monster's yowling is cut abruptly short with a horrible wet sound. ]

[ Silence. ]

[ And then, much clearer and so completely calm, some actual speech. ]

Nuadoria. I had not thought to see thee again.

Thou art changed.

Haha, maybe.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

It was no conscious decision of mine.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

I do not believe we ever met face to face, but I do recall thee from the network.

[omoidezukuri.livejournal.com]

Oh... sorry, I don't-

What do you know about me?

[voice]

[cachaemic.livejournal.com]

If it was, you probably would have picked a better time to come back.

[fruity]

A blessing most lack.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

Is this a particular interest of yours?

2/2

[temerate.livejournal.com]

You must be very busy, with these creatures running rampant.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[voice]

[temerate.livejournal.com]

It would take a great deal more than this to kill me.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

Very little.

It is not worth apologizing for.

[voice]

[temerate.livejournal.com]

These creatures are inconvenient, but no more than that. How long have they been present in the city?

[sereins.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm luckier, I guess. I just have a few people I need to look after.

[netherstead.livejournal.com]

Nope. It's just fact.

[voice]

[cachaemic.livejournal.com]

...It's been a couple of weeks now since it started. Nobody seems to know why.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

'Fact' is not immutable. Few of thy beliefs about the world are.

They are simply uninformed.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

I have only one, it seems.

[netherrstead.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

I have not convinced thee at all, have I.

[voice]

[temerate.livejournal.com]

Perhaps they were always here, and are only now making themselves known.

Have they killed anyone?

[voice]

[goldenarchery.livejournal.com]

Ooh~ A confidant one?

Glad to hear it! We could certainly need all the help we can get.

Good with a sword or bow?

[voice]

[cachaemic.livejournal.com]

I... don't know.

[voice]

[temerate.livejournal.com]

Then I shall investigate.

[voice]

[temerate.livejournal.com]

...thou mistakes me.

My sword is no longer bound to the defense of vermin.
