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.

[just the description is enough to make Li-Na shudder]

That is really creepy sounding. You said you came in contact with it. Does that mean you think it is still out there somewhere?

I saw it floating about elsewhere, but I can’t say for a fact that it has left the city. It doesn’t enjoy disturbances, so enough prodding got it to move. I wonder if anyone else has crossed paths with it?

Hmmmm, we (collective 'we') might need to look into this. Something that can warp reality or influence people's minds could end up being a danger.

Used wrongly, yes. Would the Vanderweele fellow be the cause of this?

Maybe? It would fit his pattern of doing things to distract us.

But even if this eye creature IS a distraction, it sounds like one we might need to deal with.

That seems so. Would you have experience with dastardly eyeballs?

Dastardly eyeballs?

[as serious as the matter is, she can't help but giggle at that phrase]

No, not particularly. Though I do have a lot of experience dealing with evil beings. At least, my past self did.

Dastardly.

Do tell. I am shifting beneath myself with excitement.

That is a really fun word to say.

In my last life, I was an Exorcist. We fought against the Millennium Earl, who tricked people into calling their loved ones back from the dead. He'd then turn them into weapons called Akuma.

Is it not? Say it yourself sometime, Li-Na.

Necromancy in its most greed driven form, how horrid. You would then purify these tormented souls?

I definitely will say it~

We were able to. Our weapons were made of a special material, and when we destroyed the Akuma it would purify the soul inside.
