[F28 - PP|PT] Scarlet Requiem

[Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0]

Ariel stared at the terminal’s glow, unsure of how she would write the message. A growl from a silent observer in the corner helped her stop overthinking it. She took a look on the intel she got from the student who boldly claimed she was a legitimate 'scout'. It was a meaty report, that's for sure.
Glyndebourne’s horror echoed in written as cold facts: chains, blood on cobblestones, the hollow eyes of victims suspended like macabre art. The «Midnight Ripper» turned safety into slaughter, at least outside the safe zones. However, more than the two page lore dump in front of her she skimmed over, she was interested in the supposed drop from this reaper. She'd seen this shatter effect that she didn't have yet, in action in a previous raid. And how it accumulated when others applied it as well. "A tactical advantage for the future." she muttered, setting the papers on the small kotatsu near her; finishing the recruitment message afterwards.

Her fingers moved—precise, unhurried. Adding a little 'extra' flair at the end of the message:

Quote

LFG 
Hunt Target: «Midnight Ripper» F28
Threat level: T4 field boss.
Reward: Meathook (Applies [Shatter] on hit)
Meeting point: *pinned coordinates outside the safe zone*. Next moonrise.
Note: Expect [Bleed] and/or other DoTs, bring antidotes.
The more we are the faster this goes. -A >⩊<

The screen blinked SENT. She stretches with her arms above her head and cracked her knuckles. The blonde beckoned her feline familiar and petted the white lioness behind her ear. She looked fierce at first glance but having shared a bond with Ariel for several years now, Kimba more often acted like a moody oversized housecat.

"Ready for a hunt?"
She already knew the answer. The sharp gaze she received did little more than to confirm it.

The two of them made the necessary preparations and headed out to the meeting point. Stealth was her new best friend since the recent event. On top of avoiding troublesome crowds, it offered some extra firepower in combat as well. The blonde was now just another shadow of one of the trees nearby. Her white furred familiar sat openly, lazying around at the location of the pin— grooming herself.

Rumours were swirling through back channels that Magistrate Aldenbrook's filaments and fingertips had been snaking their way through Glyndebourne's back woods once again.  Another purge of the Fire Woods found evidence that her insidious cabal of miniscule minions were working their previous mischief, but on a much lesser scale.  Diligence would be key.  Agents to be dispatched would monitor and report, managing the threat to keep it from weaving its was back into plague-like prominence, as it once had.

Freyd, meanwhile, was looking forward to a quiet drink at the Naughty Pigeon.  Sally's avatar had finally reformed, restoring some sense of order and stability to the place, though a few of the locals still glanced at him askew.  He'd come to accept that they were just generally surly.  At least until he'd bought a few rounds and loosened up a bit himself.  Maybe more than a bit.  Armor stuffed back into his inventory, the Whisper was half in the bag by the time Ariel's message found him, boasting that he'd one taken on the Midnight Ripper while wearing nothing but his pajamas.

"No, no!  It twoo!  I shwear!  Did da shame for Wushen and uh... the other one.  I shink?  Can't wemembur."

Fighting half-dozen spectral knights, slogging endlessly back and forth along a front under perpetual assault by hordes of ravenous abominations had taken more of a toll than he'd been willing to admit.  And ever since all that business with Mari, he just really needed to cut loose.  Then pinged Ariel's fortuitous message.

"Oh shit!  Dash'like wite awound the conner fwom here!"

Downing the last of way too many drinks, the Whisper pinwheeled out the door, completely forgetting that he was wearing only his white workout shirt, regular jacket draped off his waist over a pair of loose baggy sweat pants, the hilt of his semi-retired doomsday sword scraping loudly on the cobblestone as his hiccups rang out into the night.  A short while later, he arrived at the appointed coordinate, guided more by sheer chance and familiarity than any sense of true awareness, a pleasantly buzzed smile adorning his goofy grin.

"Sho... we wompin' sumthin'... ?"

*hic*
