[Locked from Legato and Elendira]

This is for everyone in Discedo. There's a dangerous man who's just arrived. His name is Legato Bluesummers. His chip should not be removed under any circumstances or there will be deaths. He believes humans are pests and he wouldn't hesitate to kill you or fuck with you, then kill you.

Edit: All right, so people

Is that who that guy was?

[church_man]

If you mean who I think you do, yes.

[in_a_dark_wood]

Another dangerous criminal type in our city, eh?

[church_man]

More of the unstoppable psychopath variety, though he should be a little easier to deal with chipped.

Hey... I don't think you ever told me your name.

[bitterspeedplum]

...

Well, thistles.

[church_man]

...Thistles?

[bitterspeedplum]

Yeah. It's kinda like how you humans say 'darn' or whatever.

[church_man]

Ah, I see...

[leaveit2deutsch]

Ve~!! That's terrible. Killing people is a really bad thing. We should all just get along and not fight.

[church_man]

It's not that simple.

[leaveit2deutsch]

Really? It's a simple thing to do, but some people are really stubborn and didn't get enough hugs when they were growing up.

I don't like seeing more people dying. It's bad enough a lot my people died back home!

[church_man]

Yeah, whatever. You just keep telling yourself that.

Not many do. But people die, and people kill. There's no changing that.

[After dropping Anemone off at her apartment, Shinji headed over to theirs, half at a run, and let himself in. A vicious headache was lancing his temples--sobering him up, at least. He needed that clarity right now.

Wolfwood was in the living room. He strode over to him with both hands jammed in his coat pockets.]

Good thinking with that warning shit...

[Honestly, something about it worried him too--but it had to do with a person Wolfwood didn't even know, who hopefully wouldn't see this, or connect the dots.]

[Wolfwood was at the window with his comm in hand, still and silent, though he had been pacing not long before. His calm was forced, pasted over underlying agitation that burned hot in his eyes. He did his best to cover that when he looked at Shinji, but it wasn't easy.]

Good, you're here... seems like I can never explain enough ahead of time.

[Shinji's pocketed hands closed over the rapidly diminishing pack of cigarettes. He had another one from Kakihara, but after that he'd be out. Didn't stop him from wanting a couple. When he met Wolfwood's eyes, he kept his own gaze calm, steady for him.]

Don't worry about it. I'm here now... what do I need to know?

[He sighed; having Shinji here helped to calm his nerves a little, but the shock was too recent and the threat wouldn't be going away.]

If you saw my warning, then you know his name... He's Knives' right-hand man. Sickeningly loyal... a servant like the rest of the Gung-Ho Guns, but he was never given a title. He's the one who killed Midvalley.

That's weird, I kinda thought that whole law-set said everyone got a clean slate when they got here? Or did I read that wrong...

[church_man]

Clean slate or not, I know how he is. I want to keep him from hurting anyone if I can.

[Voice]

[amongst_sheep]

So...clean slate for everyone, except sometimes not. I see, makes a LOT of sense! [And yes, it's impossible to tell if he's being sarcastic or not by voice]

[Voice] ffff why is wolfwood getting the creepers now

[church_man]

...How would you define 'clean slate'? I didn't say anything about any crimes he's done before or call for punishment. I just warned people of what he may do.
