 So, took out that cowboy that was hounding around, looking for people. He was pretty dumb, all things considered. Got no closer to what he was doing. Some sorta Grand Librarian summoned him to plague us with unfathomable stupidity and the promises of money.

But then he exploded and turned into a glowing zombie card. Which is... alright. I guess. Not a 'what I always wanted.' But nice. BUT I've got TWO horses now. And I'm building a chariot. 

I'm open to not going off on my own after everyone who may be a librarian.

I, uh. Hate to be a paranoid cynical bastard, but I got a few ideas.

One, she's grateful for your help, but doesn't want to bother you anymore with what's happening and all and doesn't want you up in it, despite you sounding like you are.

Two, kidnapped, forced to check out. Or something that looked like her checked out.

Three? Repossessed by what you were talking about was in her in the first place, if that's possible. None of them are good ideas.

Re: [Private Thread]

I'd hope it's not the last one. The one who did the possessing sorta has their own body to be slumming around in, and they're sorta been having a close eye on them, far as I know. Not that I trust them to not find a way around it, but...

The first is kinda likely, but she should at least know with this kinda problem, she'd have the sense to say something beforehand. Otherwise, it's just inviting concern.

Re: [Private Thread]

[ogrewarrior]

Alright, one off our list then. Just speculating though. Can't see any good reasons to have left so abruptly like that.

Re: [Private Thread]

[memoryistime]

Maybe she found a job. Despite having trouble with that guy going around trying to hunt her down.

Re: [Private Thread]

[ogrewarrior]

I think that's being way too optimistic.

Or maybe she just figured now that he's gone that the threat's over? But I find that doubtful.

Re: [Private Thread]

[memoryistime]

Well, she was in the hotel before the threat popped up, so.

Re: [Private Thread]

[ogrewarrior]

I got nothing then, except for the fact I'm gonna find her.

Re: [Private Thread]

[memoryistime]

Well hey, good luck if you do. You'll probably have an advantage anyway.

[becomeanwarrior]

Yeah, I'd rather you didn't beat up every librarian in Domino, Kaz.

But... hm.

Also, I'm pretty sure chariots aren't street legal.

[ogrewarrior]

I'm pretty sure no one will question the guy with the chariot.

[becomeanwarrior]

Just don't make the brass order me to throw you in a cell for the night, and I don't care.

But at least we know that Cosmo Queen is still good and locked up, but the problem with that means that someone's acting on her behalf, then.

[ogrewarrior]

Yeah, exactly. I don't like it, nor do I like the idea of a giant amount of weird culty things happening.

[becomeanwarrior]

You might wanna get used to the latter, the place as been a weirdo zone for as long as I care to remember at this point.

Granted, it's never been -this- bad with culty stuff, between Cosmica and the lingering presence of Dark Mist, we're up to our fucking throats in this shit.

[ogrewarrior]

Well, I know it's been a weirdo zone, doesn't mean I gotta like it though.

This seems to be the last bit of a cult though, once we finish off the last bit, we should be set. Unless they free her and she scrambles out.

[becomeanwarrior]

Fair 'nuff. I guess I'm just too acclimated to weird stuff.

Yeah, there shouldn't be any way she's able to get out. She was locked up pretty damn tight when she was scrambling out, and we basically welded the door shut after that, metaphorically speaking.

Course, now that I say that, I've probably jinxed it...

[ogrewarrior]

Status-quo is all well and good, but, you know, it's not normal anywhere else.

...maybe you should stop talking, because if someone can jinx it, it's you.

[cuterthancute]

You need help with this mess?

[ogrewarrior]

...maybe. Dunno. Can't even track down a librarian right now. So I'm just building some stuff until more starts happening.

[cuterthancute]

We track their materials then.

If we can't find them directly, we follow the trail of what they've summoned and what they're using.

[ogrewarrior]

Can... you do that?

Also, refresh my memory, you're... Shinoko, right? I think you were... smaller when we last talked.

[cuterthancute]

Growth spurt.

It shouldn't be impossible. Especially since we, or at least I, know who made the items that they're using as magic batteries.

The problem is we need a magical bloodhound.

[becomeanwarrior]

There's only so much of the weird you can cut out of this city, Kaz. May not be glamorous, may not be easy, may not even make a dent... but it's my job.

And yeah, you're right. I've got the worst luck of anyone I know.

[ogrewarrior]

Milk does a body good.

Who was it?

...Like, someone who can trace it? Shouldn't we be able to find someone like that, or summon one?

[ogrewarrior]

Ha ha, maybe you and the dragon are gonna collapse from exhaustion with all this. I think I can help take out the trash on this one.

[becomeanwarrior]

Careful, Kaz, with this much good will I might be forced to make you an unofficial affiliate of SpecInv, and I know how much you hate authority that isn't yours.
