s soon as you got home, you told Cindy where her food was in the fridge, grabbed your phone and headed back out to make a call.
Thankfully, the man in question wasn’t too hard to get a hold of. You had his secretary Reese to thank for that.
<span class="mu-r">“Hey, Moonie. How goes the hunt?”</span> you asked, pacing alongside a wall as if it were a perfectly horizontal surface.
Marc grunted. <span class="mu-s">“Your assassin friend has been most helpful on that front. He thinks he’s narrowed it down to at least three people.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“All of them registered positive for ‘biological abnormalities’?”</span>
<span class="mu-s">“So he says. He’s pretty much combed this entire city for these past few months, so I’m surprised that he’s gotten this far.”</span> Marc admitted.
<span class="mu-r">“And Nico’s tracking magic still isn’t working?”</span>
<span class="mu-s">“Huntsman,”</span> Marc began, in the tone of a man who’s explained the same thing to someone multiple times. <span class="mu-s">“This creature is both very old and very intelligent. It probably knows warding spells that neither Nico, nor Louise have ever heard of. For us, a prolonged fight would be very unfavorable.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Right. Gives them less time to steal our voices.”</span> you muttered.
<span class="mu-s">“Or worse. It could take away our very concept of languages.”</span> he corrected you.
You struggled to suppress a shudder.
<span class="mu-s">“And that’s part of the problem we face.”</span> Marc continued. <span class="mu-s">“Louise thinks that we have to capture it alive in order to obtain its venom. Along with…other bits of extract.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“Well that’s not good.”</span>
<span class="mu-s">“Quite right.”</span> he said, sounding more like Mr. Knight now. <span class="mu-s">“Nico’s drawing up magic circles as we speak. She thinks we might be able to trap it for a while. Bind it to one location and prevent it from using magic or separating from its host.”</span>
What will you say?
>”And they’re sure that these ‘magic circles’ are actually going to work? It sounds like there are an awful lot of uncertainties surrounding all of this.”>”Why hasn't that host died off yet? Isn’t this thing supposed to be a vicious parasite? I feel like someone would notice a rotting corpse walking around outside.”>”I’ve actually got a plan for capturing this thing. At least, until we can drag it down to the basement.”(Write-in.)>”Can’t we just web its mouth shut? That way, the host can’t open its mouth to cast magic, and the creature can’t escape or use its powers.”>"I feel like we should let someone else in on this plan."(Who?)>Write-in.Pastebins:
