Another LFC testrun!

[just_some_meddler]

1: Mystic Eyes

[This random girl just started talking to you like she's known you for ages. Eventually she stops, seeing your confusion.]

Don't tell me you forgot about me! We've known each other for a while now.

[Something about the way she's staring at you intently is messing with your head. Oh yeah, it's all coming back to you now...Maybe you DO know her...]

2: Dark Business

[All kinds of shady conflicts have been going on in the night. And so you've found Ciel at the remains of some kind of bloody battle. She's balancing on top of a lamppost, splattered in blood herself, and giving you a cold, measuring stare.]

Stick to the brawls going on outside the gates. This isn't something you want to get involved in.

3: Death

[You definitely definitely killed Ciel the other day. Chopped her head off, burned the body, pulled her heart out...something thorough. Yet here she is, and she looks pissed.]

Honestly, if you think just think killing someone means you can go do whatever you want then you're even stupider than I thought. Let's try this again, but with less bad decision making.

[C-rank magical resistance.]

Wrong person, kid. And watch it with those eyes. You could mess up someone's head with that!

[just_some_meddler]

[Crap]

That normally works.

Can I convince you to not blab my secret out to everyone?

[puppy_lancer]

Sure...what'll you give me?

[Of course, he'd probably keep that secret even if she gave him nothing in return.]

[just_some_meddler]

Give you?

...Do you like curry?

[puppy_lancer]

...Sure.

[just_some_meddler]

I can probably shoo all the attendants out of the kitchen easily enough. All they ever cook is giant slabs of meat and bread. That can't be a healthy diet.

[puppy_lancer]

Says you. I like it perfectly fine.

[just_some_meddler]

Somehow I'm not surprised.

[puppy_lancer]

So, anyway, what is this "curry" stuff?

[just_some_meddler]

Meat and vegetables served with a special spicy sauce and rice. I'm a big fan of it myself.

[puppy_lancer]

Hm...I'll definitely give it a try then.

You would say that even to a knight?

[Though this knight is at his strongest during the day.]

[just_some_meddler]

I would say this especially to a knight. You are better off in the light, "Knight of the Sun", and you're starting to dip your toes in some very murky waters.

[championofthesun]

That territory is not new to me. Furthermore, when I see scenes like this, my code of honor simply will not permit me to avert my gaze and continue on my way.

[just_some_meddler]

Your code of honor is going to get you killed.

[championofthesun]

Do you believe that a Servant such as myself fears death?

[just_some_meddler]

Sorry let me be more clear, then. You will get yourself killed and you won't accomplish anything.

[championofthesun]

And I would accomplish something by turning a blind eye? If you're so certain that I'll accomplish nothing, then you have ensnared me in a quandary. You should thus take responsibility to free me of it and begin giving me answers.

[just_some_meddler]

Hnng...

[She slumps her shoulders, defeated, and hops down to street level.]

It's the Fae. They've been doing something to people that turns them into sleeper agents. We tried just capturing them, but they've got some kind of micro explosives planted in their skulls that go off as soon as they realize they've been caught. We lost half a dozen interrogators before we figured out what was going on.

So now we're just keeping tabs on them while we search for a better way to deal with them. If any of them activate then I go out and...

[She glances at the corpse with half a dozen swords sticking out of it.]

...deal with them.

[championofthesun]

...Tch. Executioner's work. Just thinking about it makes me ill.

[Gawain walks over to the nearest corpse and makes the Sign of the Cross over it.]

May you find peace in the next world.

[just_some_meddler]

[Her gaze softens for a moment.]

He certainly didn't find any in this one.

[championofthesun]

I doubt even the hermits of this world have.

How long have you known about this? And what has already been tried?

[just_some_meddler]

That's all on a need to know basis. As far as I know, you've been compromised too. I probably shouldn't even have told you as much as I have.

[championofthesun]

And let nothing further be done? I can take another warrior or two and extract that knowledge from some Fae officer at a military camp. But I can do no such thing without knowing that the problem exists!
