FORTY-ONE : Who do you think you're fooling?

[wristsniper]

Lieutenants, militia captains, report in. I want your status, location, resources, and what you've observed so far

Ah, Olivier~ You asked me to report back when I had made progress, so I would have contacted you soon anyway!

I have found you a number of new recruits, first of all. Three are assassins or rogues, and I will be working with them for my assignment, barring anything unforeseen happening in the future. The rest I will send to you personally. There are several fighters and at least two medics.

...there is one troublesome fellow who either wants to fight you or me, or both. Extremely entitled, quite possibly powerful. I may have to murder him, but if he agrees to my terms, that might get him on our side.

My status and location are unchanged from the usual. I have my gun and my blades; hopefully that is enough. As for what I've seen...mostly just the grey men pacing the streets, and little else.

...I have heard far more disturbing things.

[wristsniper]

[There's a long... long... LONG silence.]

[rogue_crow]

...Is something the matter?

[wristsniper]

[HOW IS IT THAT AT A TIME LIKE THIS, THE ONLY ONE OF HER SOLDIERS WHO CONSISTENTLY DOESN'T LET HER DOWN IS THE HORNY ELF?????

BRAIN HURTS.]

Well done. Remind me of this moment the next time you piss me off.

Now. What have you heard?

[artwithknives]

I can't guarantee not attacking them if they try to come into this one house I'm staying at.

[wristsniper]

Where are you staying?

[artwithknives]

She's a little worried so I'm staying with a friend of mine named Alice. Do you need an exact address or something?

[wristsniper]

For my own reference, yes. I'll easily know if you've met trouble if anyone states the address.

[sting_like_a]

I'm safe at home for the time being~! My main concern right now is keeping my idiot husband and our daughter out of trouble, but I'm ready to leave if I'm needed somewhere else.

If any of those bastards come near my family, though, I can't promise that I'll behave myself. Sorry~

[wristsniper]

The ideal solution is to get away from them. There's nothing in those suits but poisonous gas. I've almost been killed by them.

[sting_like_a]

So I've heard! If I can avoid that gas, though, actually killing them won't be too much trouble. Don't worry, though! A Queen's Knight isn't defeated so easily as that~

[wristsniper]

If you can attack from a distance, more's the better... but they will grow more aggressive, and they move much more quickly than they may seem able at first. They have a mob mentality, but they aren't that intelligent.

My house, 946 Beulah Street. I've got Taiwan and Mindy here under my protection. Sorry, but I won't be leaving them any time soon - I owe it to Netherlands to keep them safe.

Besides, I just saw those gray men entering their house. I think that other girl's still in there. [He snarls in frustration.] I'd go face them down myself, except there's no way in hell I'm leaving Mindy here on her own.

[wristsniper]

They entered someone's home? You don't know her name?

[armywithcountry]

My neighbor's home - Taiwan and Mindy's. Netherland's old house. I think his other daughter's name was Saki. From what I heard, she shoved them out of the house because she wanted to try challenging Lucy Smith.

[wristsniper]

I see.

...Keep your distance. I don't want to see you get hurt unless you're doing something important, got it?

[ponypuncher]

No promises, Missy. If they wanna fuck with this house, they'll have to go through me. I'm startin' to grow fond of these people.

[wristsniper]

Just don't antagonize them. They're not human; they're hardly even monsters. They have no bodies.

[ponypuncher]

I know monsters, Miss Armstrong. Ya don't have to worry 'bout me much--I'm a big boy, I can take care of myself.

[wristsniper]

Tch. I've fought them before. It's not worth the attempt.
