With an impressive burst of speed, he skitters over to you and Wendy, whispering to the both of you. "He's weak. Weak like actual paper." He pulls on the paper-like chitin covering his torso. "Can't let the others hear this tip. They won't GET IT."
Wendy tries her best to lean away from Audie but he promptly grabs onto her shoulder, keeping her in place. "<span class="mu-b">He can hear the thoughts in your head. SILENCE THEM when he approaches.</span>" He then leans away, turning his attention back to the rest of your confused allies.
"Other one? Has probably overtaken whole floor, yes yes, with flesh and flowers. A parasitic organism that DEMANDS to spread. To be REMEMBERED. <span class="mu-b">There will be a core somewhere on the floor. Destroy it and the anomaly will return to a dormant state.</span> Do NOT let any of your flesh or blood spill, it WILL drink it up." And then he goes silent. He's rubbing his throat now, clearly exhausted by his rambling.
"W-well." Wendy doesn't even remotely know how to respond. Her mouth is twisted in an expression that's filled with equal parts confusion and seething hatred. "You're. Something. Well, since there's two beasts on the seventh floor, d-do you..." She's really trying her best not to just fucking attack him. "Do you have anything that can help us deal with it."
Audie immediately vomits something out onto the floor. Then another item. Then another. THEN ANOTHER. He only stops once five items are scattered onto the floor. You're not even sure how he managed to shallow all of this.
LOOT OBTAINED!
>FRAGMENTATION GRENADE x2 (Adds +3d6 to your next attack and deals extra FLESH damage against humans. You can make a DC 18 TALENT check to add +4d8 to your attack instead.)
>Z-CORP AMPULE x2 (A metal syringe filled with a dull grey liquid. Heals 2 FLESH and RESTRAINT, no questions asked.)
>UV CLEANSING LAMP (A small handlamp that produces potent levels of UV radiation when activated. Has five charges. May consume a charge to add +3d3 to a COGNIZANCE check, reveal otherwise invisible entities, or to damage organic matter in a wide radius around the user.)
Drool is dribbling out of his mouth now and every breath he takes is deep and labored now.
"What in tarnation?" "DISGUSTING!!!" "Don't get that on my boots." Clover, Naomi, and Wendy quickly make their distance from the vomitted up supplies.
"Ooo!" "VERY INTERESTING." "Never knew a human could regurgitate like that!!!" Casey, Quentin and Kiara meanwhile are swarming around Audie with awe at his feat of regurgitation.
"Wischard. Down there. Probably wants to be consumed. She wants to forget. I pity her." Audie takes a deep, shuddering breath before continuing. "She needs <span class="mu-b">a reason to live.</span> Something to do. Like I do. I fight."
You and Naomi share a look with each other. You already have a good idea on what sort of reason you can give her. A rather silvery reason. Now that that horror show is handled, best to address the main thing bothering you.
"Why, Audie?"
