Kill dudes, get loots

[misery_hates_company]

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.

Comments

"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..."

[misery_hates_company]

"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?"

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

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."

[misery_hates_company]

"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?"

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

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

[misery_hates_company]

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."

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

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

"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?"

Nah, we could probably just pick something at random.

[misery_hates_company]

"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."

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

"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.
