(06) Sixth Report [>>Video] she tl;drs when it comes to srs biznis

[zerosuitjill]

It's... come to my attention that the wildlife here isn't exactly normal -- or friendly. Those surprise visitors recently were one thing, but the constant population of monsters around this place seems much more dangerous from what I've seen and heard.

Back home, I was-- [She pauses briefly -- she didn't mean to put it in the past tense. Still,

What more can you tell me about these creatures?

[zerosuitjill]

Not much, I'm afraid. Most of my time here's been spent within the city; I've had contact with some of the... animals that infiltrated the town last week, the city-wide sentient plant that invaded before that, and the humanoid creatures that others have called Darkspawn. The latter are the only ones that I know are still here, and they're not the most dangerous things around, I'd think.

[asecondchoice]

Fortunately I haven't had any encounters yet. I just arrived here recently. I just... want to be prepared should I encounter one later...

[Her voice is entirely patient and kind here.] Until I have more information, all I can advise for now is to try and stay within the city limits. If you have to go outside, travel in groups; keep some kind of weapon on your for self-defense -- preferably a gun, if you know how to use one.

That actually sounds like a good idea. I don't know if you'd want someone as young as me, but I'd help.

[Video]

[zerosuitjill]

Thanks. Like I said, we can use all the help we can get here; what kind of experience do you have, out of curiosity?

[Video]

[yearrounder]

I know pretty much all of the monsters from the myths, and I'm a pretty good knife-fighter. I'd prefer strategy, but I can handle myself in a fight.

[zerosuitjill]

[She nods.] Good. I felt safe in assuming we had some decent firepower, but strategists are harder to come by. Any information or input you can give will really help.

[Audio]

[leaporfall]

That sounds like a good idea. I'd be glad to help.

[Audio]

[zerosuitjill]

Thank you. I'm thinking that having volunteers with different backgrounds in fighting styles should be a decent advantage.

[Audio]

[leaporfall]

It usually seems to be. [She pauses, then continues a little bit wryly.] Provided you can keep people from each other's throats, sometimes.

[Audio]

[zerosuitjill]

[There's a knowing tone to her words.] That's always inevitable whenever you have a group of people, especially this large. Hopefully giving us a common objective will help keep things neutral.

[Audio]

[shieldwall]

I would be happy to volunteer as well.

[Audio]

[zerosuitjill]

Thanks. I'll keep you posted, Aveline.

I was also an operative for a special forces unit, SOLDIER to be more precise, and I have extensive experience in monster eradication. If we have met, my apologies. I do not recall. I am Sephiroth, SOLDIER First Class.

[zerosuitjill]

I'm pretty sure we haven't -- nice to meet you.

We'd be glad to have you on board. [And then, musingly:] SOLDIER -- military, I assume?

audio.

[wutaiwarhero]

Affirmative. As I said, we are a team specialized in the eradication of monsters and other mutated wildlife. Our skills and senses have also been increased to facilitate our responsibilities.

[zerosuitjill]

That should be extremely useful, needless to say. If you don't mind, I'd like to compare tactics sometime -- I don't know if you and I have had similar quarry, but it's best to be open-minded in this situation.
