Hi. I've read your file on the darkness monsters, and I thought I'd share this picture I took last night with my NV. It's a crystal spider's web, just to give people a better idea of how big the biggest of them can get. Looks like a flashlight lit the whole thing up really well.

Also, I might be able to get you a sketch from someone who's had a close run-in with the Big Mother not too long ago.

Where do you get the rest of your information? Do you go out into the dark every night, or do you just collect stories?

Hello...Darwin? Hi. This is Joe Fieldman. I sent you some...pictures of spiders, a couple months back?

Anyway...

I have some information about the new monsters showing up in the darkness. A lot of information. And if you get back to me, Ah- Well, if you want to know more, get back to me.

[A call back, at last! The audio record picks up two voices, barely heard "Yes, I know, call him back. I will, I just need mor--" "You keep saying that... here." "--don't push the device at me like that." "It's recording..." "What? No it's not-- Why did you hit reply? It was a text and it's been months and it's hard to explain an--" "--he called again. Not a text. Just say something." "But I...--" Then there was a sound of the Device swapping hands... a clearing of a throat and a careful...]

Ah, yes, ah, Hello, Mr. Fieldman? Yes. This is Darwin. I do so apologize for the... ah inexcusable amount of time it has taken me to return your calls but let me assure you that I am more then pleased with the stunning imagery you have found.

[There was a pause, and one might clearly think he was giving his assistant a look that said 'what now?' but instead he said:]

Ah, you said you had more information on on a new monster? [He sounds like a person who isn't used to talking to people again. Don't mind him, he'll warm up in a moment!]

[The boy on the other end sounds a bit thrilled, despite all the garbled flap.]

Hi! Ah- hi, you're really Darwin, from the guide?

Nonono, It's okay! I figure a monster explorer gets really busy and doesn't have the time and...well...well-

The new monsters. The ones on the news. I know what they are 'cause they're from the Darkness where I'm from- I'm a newcomer. They're called Shadow Heartless.

[Voice]

[thepull_npc]

That would be me.

[He sounds a bit more relaxed after hearing the guy sounding thrilled and not annoyed by the late call. A small sigh and...brushing off Sabine's wild smirk he wanders back to the back office as he talks]

More like a few mild complications. I've been... away from the city for a bit. Only just started research again, so this is good timing on your part.

A newcomer huh? Nice to hear form you. [He sounds... a bit more impressed. He liked the poor newcomers, from what he could tell.] Shadow Heartless? These wouldn't be those little weird black things, would they? Ah, not that 'little' 'weird' and 'black' narrows down much...
