Kill dudes, get loots

Who: Misery, OPEN.
Where: All around Hinoto-Ri; 13th Hour
Summary: Misery is out and about, killing critters and generally letting off stress. There sure are a lot of new things lately...
Warnings: Extreme monster violence. And, well, Misery.

Another creature goes down to the Golem's fist. Misery moves forward, analyzing the remains, before tching and moving on. Nothing on that one.

She's been keeping to herself generally for the past month, in small part due to the amount of work involved in her move from the comfortable but untrustworthy apartments to her lovely little home out in Capricorn. Admittingly, some of the night company could be a little rowdy, but that's what warding spells were for. And if they were TOO rowdy... well, more ingredients were always a plus.

But she's been irritable lately. Maybe it's the phase of the moon, or the time of the month. Maybe it's the fact she's still had no luck finding a Baku, and as such all these stupid dreams about her past keep niggling at her as if they expect her to repent for something that was clearly the fault of everybody ELSE. And maybe, just maybe, it's in part to the fact that a certain IDIOT managed to get himself snagged to Gods know where. He still owed her that potion back.

Not that there hasn't been amusement. It's increasingly obvious other people are finally beginning to realize that both sides were about as trustworthy as a piece of fool's gold. She can't help but cackle at that. Maybe a little bit of extra prodding wouldn't hurt. After all, there were a lot of sacred cows in Hinoto-Ri, and Misery DOES like beef.

She continues on the move, noting something in a notebook. Another new one. Fascinating.

"Persona!"

Latooni is out patrolling tonight as well. With a lot of the Visitors gone and more of them trying to keep a low profile among the locals while they figured out the politics, she's taken it upon herself to help curb some of the aggressive demons in the Cancer district.

At the moment, she's found a gaggle of the things and is letting Omoikane's lightning spells have a field day with their weakness - her usual strategy.

"Oh my, you're out and about at this time! How unusual. Are you enjoying yourself there?" She looks at her Persona. "Nice choice by the way. Used that one myself for a little while."

She sends the Golem out to clear out some of the other ones. "These are definitely newer additions. Or, at least, I certainly never saw them prior to this strange phenomenon of late of various structures appearing at random throughout town."

"It has the opposite weaknesses of my main Persona, so it seemed like a good tactical choice."

She's also somewhat fond of the Nadesico's AI, but that's just a coincidence of namesakes.

Latooni walks forward to begin poking through the pile of electrified remains, standing back in case one of them needed to be finished off. "I also noticed when the 'new' demons showed up, some of them were carrying items for some reason."

She holds up a small potion bottle as an example before looking at the next one. "This one's mostly intact..."

"Hmm, a practical sort. I can appreciate that." The Golem was good for absorbing hits on her end. Who doesn't like watching blades skirting off you helplessly while you cackle?

...okay, maybe that's just Misery.

She approaches Latooni, looking at the potion in question. "Hmm, yes. If I may have a look at that?"

Latooni nods, and hands it to her. Then she crouches down to see if anything else was salvageable, like one of the claws, maybe.

Misery uncorks the bottle, sniffing a bit before allowing a bit to run onto her finger. She tastes it, and winces. "Tch. An inferior product. In line with my lower end products on a GOOD day. You'd be lucky to heal a papercut with this rubbish." Still, she pockets it. "Oh well, perhaps I can study its ingredients and find a way to enhance it."

"I'd be interested in knowing what went into them myself," she said. "Like I said before, magic isn't really my strong suit."

"We can't all win the lottery of life, my dear. Some learn to make do without." She chortles a bit. "Shall we move on from this unpleasant mess?"

She nods. "Do you want to work together? It's much easier to take down groups with even just one extra person."

She mulls this. "Hmm, might as well. The less work I have to do, the better." She chortles at her own comment. "Very well, offer of assistance accepted. For now, anyway."

"Right," she agrees, not taking the 'less work' comment too seriously. After all, Misery was out here scavenging monsters of her own volition.

"Should I scan while you attack?"

"Works about as well as anything. This thing can hit like a tank, but not much else than that. Might make it easier to locate things that are actually INTERESTING and not just blastedly aggressive." She sighs. "Some of these new creatures don't even drop anything of note."

"I wonder if there's a skill for that. Vasilisa can find the aggressive ones and tell me strengths and weaknesses, but not what they have to drop," she admits.

Desco rather likes the Sagittarius ward during the Thirteenth Hour - it's a nice place to have a snack after you're done fighting, as long as you like discarded scrap metal. Right now, having...well, you can't really call it 'worked up a good sweat', since she doesn't sweat and nothing that exists in Hinoto-Ri is capable of making her work, so...call it a temporary lull in her enthusiasm for playing, Desco is enjoying a snack of a segment of a partially rusted wrought iron grate she found, occasionally dipping it in a puddle of fluid next to where she's sitting before taking a dainty bite out of it with her tentacle-maws.

Hmm. She's heard of needing one's iron, but this is ridiculous. "Seems like you have a real stomach of steel there. Enjoying your meal?"

Desco looks up from her snack and oh hey it's you.

"Hello! Desco is enjoying her snack very much!"

She wrenches off a small, bite-sized piece, dips it in the mysterious fluid next to her, and tosses it into one of her primary tentacles, which chews noisily and swallows.

"Are you hunting things too?"

"Really! I shall have to keep you in mind the next time I need to replace a dishwasher. Oh ho ho ho!" A monster garbage disposal. How marvelous.

"I suppose you can say that. Although I'm more interested in the things they drop than the things themselves. I'll leave those to YOU for dinner." She coughs.

Desco just quirks an eyebrow at that.

"Desco doesn't bother eating plates. Ceramics taste yicky."

Her tentacles take a few more dainty bites of the iron grate as she continues.

"Desco has been herding the demons in this section eastward for a while, so if you go north or south you can pick off some stragglers!"

"Is that so? Perhaps I should hand you cars instead. Or robots." She cackles oddly at the mention of the last one. Maybe she doesn't like robots.

She rolls her eyes. "Oh, how fabulously lucky for me. I DO love getting other peoples' leftovers." She shrugs. "Still, an ingredient source is an ingredient source. I don't suppose you managed to save anything from your own, ah, conquests, have you?"

Desco looks thoughtful for a bit before pulling out a ragged sheet of blue fabric.

"Desco has some spare Prinny Hide?"

Misery takes it, and looks at it. "...is that a scorch mark I see on this thing?" she asks dubiously.

A shrug as she polishes off the last of the grate.

"Prinnies are explosive."

"How terribly unfortunate for them." She looks at the cloth with a raised eyebrow. It can't be worth TOO much if it can't even contain an explosion, but she might as well investigate it some. If nothing else, maybe it'll work well as a rag.

"Are you quite finished with your meal?"

"Uh huh!"

Desco brushes off her dress as she levitates upwards.

"Desco will see if she can't send a few more your way, too."

"Lucky me, I suppose. Your thoughtfulness is noted." A strange creature, but she seems chipper at least, if perhaps a bit foolish.

I am blanking on action tags forever right now. Did you have anything in mind to find?

Nah, we could probably just pick something at random.
