So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

thanks for the detailed response it's appreciated
so the wolves are pretty smart huh?
i'll be sure to keep an eye out for them sounds like they could prove to be pretty useful
assuming vanderweele's not already taken care of them or convinced them to help him

I imagine at least one of them doesn't like him very much. Besides, they seem able to hold their own.

...They're magical wolves, it seems, because of course they are. If that's any consolation to you.

oh my god of course they're magical wolves
that is so goddamn badass and also ridiculous i love it
what kinds of magic can they use?

They sent us to all sorts of places outside of Magatus, using doors that were in a place we were staying in.

One of them also transformed into a giant werewolf-type creature.

i love them holy shit
okay that's it i'm absolutely heading to magatus
just for the wolves

It's been a while since I've seen them myself; I may be up there as well.

i'll be sure to keep an eye out for you then!
name's shigure by the way

[...that's what his username is displayed as too, because he is a simple man.]

Albert Wesker - I suppose it's about as much a pleasure as these things can be.

this is a little better than meeting over that horrible river
or whatever was going on with that giant eyeball camped out in the middle of the city
so i'll take it!

Oh, the rivers were terrible. Our friend the eyeball was more aggravating than anything, however, once we started fighting it.

you went after it?
how'd that go?
i ran into it but escaped unscathed
i was wondering if someone would try to take it down

My husband and I fought it for a while. We weren't able to kill it, unfortunately, but it went as well as it could with that in mind.

sounds like a pretty fun date night
though i guess it would've been better if you had killed it?

[no seriously, that's hilarious, shine on you absolutely crazy diamonds]

so is it still in the center of town?
i haven't been in the area since then
didn't want to get involved with that thing

Not at all, and that's why it's aggravating - it moves if you bother it enough, apparently.

so what you guys just kicked it out of town?

More like we harassed it with a large number of bullets, but essentially.

sounds like you guys had a blast even though you weren't able to kill it!

I enjoy fighting things, and so does he.

Sometimes I bring people outside town to fight monsters there, particularly those who are trying to remember combat abilities. If you're ever interested, do let me know.

that sounds like exactly the sort of crazy thing i can get behind
can you really remember combat abilities just by trying it out?
if so hook me up with a sword and i should be able to figure something out

You can borrow mine, I suppose. My husband gave me one a while ago and I've had no idea what I'm supposed to do with it.

i'd ask why he gave you a sword
but from the sound of it you don't have any clue either

just give me a place and time and i'll meet you there!

Because he rather likes swords, and he thought the one he gave me was nice. That's all there is to it. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to use it; my past life preferred guns and explosives.

Of course, however. I'll be in contact about it.

that's actually really cute
sounds like your past life had a pretty wild time if he was running around using those though

thanks! it's appreciated!
