“Give me a quick recap about the flame users.” You need more committed people than Lise, who completely forgot to call yesterday! You’ll have to scold her!
“That’s my Johnny, keeping focus on the mission! Good!” Vera pats your head somehow. She wants to teach you good behavior. “All of these idiots owe me a favor. Let me see...” Vera pulls out a notepad. “Out of commission, out of commission, this one is dead, I think this one’s dead too, gone, jail, jail, out of commission, retired.” She crosses out names.
“Uh… You helped a lot of people, I’m proud.” You look at the bright side even if all of them seem to be gone.
“Eh.” Vera shrugs, not agreeing on principle. “From the top, I got <span class="mu-s">Borja</span>, he can throw a giant fireball once, then he becomes utterly useless for the remainder of the day.”
“Right...” This is too simplistic for you to get creative with or excited by.
“Next, I have <span class="mu-s">Gorg</span>. He can clone himself and fly. Might actually be useful.” Vera has a good feeling about this one.
“Sounds like Lord Gargoyle.” You point out.
“He has a Gargoyle mask, is that the same guy?” Vera didn’t think that you’d know him.
“Yeah, I know him. We had an adventure together two days ago.” You remember that fondly.
“Why?! And why doesn’t this surprise me?!” Vera doesn’t like you associating with weirdos.
“You just said he’s useful.” You furrow your eyebrows.
“Because *I* can find a fitting role for him.” Vera shakes her head. “Next, <span class="mu-s">Ladder Man</span>, he can pull an infinite ladder out of his stomach.”
“Tonu?” You raise an eyebrow.
“That’s his name? Wait, you know him too?” Vera writes it down. “You’re not supposed to know them!”
“It’s complicated.” You cross your arms. “What else?”
“A guy named <span class="mu-s">Wauro</span>. He teleports short distances.” Vera doesn’t even bother to explain who he is.
“Skip that one.” You shake your head.
“<span class="mu-s">Carrot Cake</span>, she can turn herself into a giant Guinea Pig.” Vera doesn’t try to hype it up.
“Sounds adorable, put it on the shortlist.” You don’t mind this one.
“Next, Mirror Shield Cultist, she has an unbreakable mirror with a pocket dimension inside.” Vera reads. “Forget it, she was all over TV with a crystal piece, I’ll cross her out. Or maybe we can force her to contact Ghost Cow Cultist?”
“Vivi?” You raise an eyebrow.
“Is that Cow Girl’s name?” Vera didn’t know.
“No, Mirror Shield <span class="mu-i">Former</span> Cultist. We’re pals. She’s the one from the raid I told you about.” You remind the cheesy lady.
“Ooooh, I get it now. Ammirati tried to put her head on a silver platter as revenge. We can’t run the risk.” Vera scratches her name off anyway. “Crossed out.”
