44th Detonator [Audio]

It appears that all of the monsters that showed up a week ago are gone now. Though the bodies are gone, the writing in Spero still remains... it doesn't seem that anything can be done about that.

...In case you haven't been informed, the subway between Spero and Discedo takes approximately seven hours. It's a long trip, so plan accordingly.

Watch, we've lost two members, Mia and Sweden. This puts us at eight members, a small number especially with three cities to focus on now. For those of you that aren't aware, the Watch is a voluntary organization dedicated to protecting and patrolling the various cities in Fortuna... and we're always recruiting new members.

In addition, with the disappearance of Sweden, there's currently no one working the Soup Kitchen in Dissimulo. If you want to work there, inform me immediately.

[There's another lengthy pause.]

...Yulie wants to start a church service on Sunday mornings and possibly Wednesday as well. If you're interested, you may attend or speak with her..... as she's happy to see any of you. [KRESNIK IS FROWNING SO MUCH THOUGH. And you bet your ass that he's going to be there to make sure that no one harms his sister B|.]

Yes, actually. [ He's not going to question why he knows him, he's growing accustomed to people just knowing him. ]

Abilities, besides magic, [ Which he isn't aware he can't use right now, ] --would entail superior fighting abilities and advanced tactical knowledge. If what we're trying to defend the perimeters of the city from are as Hellish as I've been informed of, I think I could offer a lot due to my knowledge of the supernatural. [ A glance up. ] Assuming they are in fact supernatural.

I'm Commander Kresnik Ahtreide.

Your abilities will be useful. What type of magic can you use?

[noblemen.livejournal.com]

A pleasure to meet you, Commander Ahtreide.

Specifically, I have command of the dark arts, especially summoning. I'm also proficient with guns, and if none of those can be provided, I'm able to craft my own bows out of everyday materials and I can assure you I'm as accurate as your best gunmen. I've extensive exposure to mythical and magical creatures and I'm usually very good at interacting with them. [ With a tilt of the head. ] I've yet to see any of these 'monsters', but I don't think all of them are as dangerous as I've been told.

I'm not familiar with dark magic... I only have healing and supportive spells myself. However, it sounds formidable.

I'll see if I can obtain a gun for you. The monsters usually wander around each city, some are more dangerous than others. ...I haven't complied a list of them yet.

Hm, is your chip still inside you?

[noblemen.livejournal.com]

It's dangerous enough, if wielded correctly. Of course, it does have a tendency to backfire...

I would be most gracious. Though if you're unable to locate a gun, I'll use the time I've been provided with to craft a bow. That would require me finding some sort of material to make the tips from, but I'm sure I can manage.

Yes, it is, though I hardly think that will be detrimental. [ He taps his lip. ] It's certainly not going to take away my ability to fight, or my muscle memory.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

You won't be able to use your magic though.

[noblemen.livejournal.com]

I.... see. [ He seems a bit crestfallen for the moment, but he shakes his head. ] I have every intention of having my chip removed as soon as is possible, however, and I know who to go to. I still wish to volunteer my services, sir, if that is at all possible.

[ Anyway, he's gotta do something useful with his spare time. He sort of left his crocheting needles at home. ]

[Nods]

As of now, I can accept you into the Watch.

[noblemen.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, commander. I should like to tell you when I do manage to have this chip removed, so that I may volunteer more useful services to you.
