I suppose Anatole could hardly let a week go by without some bloodshed. I'd fear for the population, but it seems able enough.

What news from our faithful patrol? I doubt recent events have escaped your notice.

It seems as though the tunnelmen have been affected by some kind of human or humanlike attacker. If so, it isn't within the jurisdiction of the Patrol proper - it would fall to the police force.

...but I admit I've kept my eyes open anyway, as much as I've been able to. [Seeing as she was bedridden for a good amount of time.] So far I haven't seen anything specific. Or really, anything at all.

Human? A run-of-the-mill psychopath, is it?

I believe you or one of you mentioned something called 'Yoma' to me. Does the description fit?

[yetsleeping]

Maybe. I hope not. But the methods of death are so varied. I can't imagine a monster with that kind of... well. I could be wrong.

I hope I'm wrong.

[She rubs her face a little.]

I don't think it's a yoma. A yoma would have just eaten them. ...and I'd feel them. Their presence, it's... impossible to miss, for me. or those like me.

That kind of...? Far be it from me to doubt an expert on the matter. Still, one would think it shan't be long before they run out of Tunnelmen to savage.

[yetsleeping]

That kind of versatility. But I guess it's not outside the realm of possibility.

...I think there are an awful lot of tunnelmen, though.

Perhaps even enough to tide the killer's bloodlust over. Assuming there is only one.
