Mystic Syn Posted January 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Kasha stuck her cane in the ground. "First of all," she said, bringing up both hands to count, "the rogue is smaller than I am according to eyewitnesses. Second of all, why would the rogue kill in bright daylight then talk to their friend as if nothing happen? And third of all, I don't think the rogue uses a cane like me." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Syn Posted January 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Kasha blinked at the Xefic man. "Yeah," she said slowly. "The rogue Talented? The person who's been murdering random people with barely a trace? That person." Kasha scratched the back of her head. "Honestly surprised that at least one person hasn't heard about them." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The man is starving and in need of somewhere to stay," she said, gesturing to the man as she picked up her cane. "He won't be getting any valuables or food from people if he keeps that up, let alone a place to stay; best option I can give him is turn him over to the police where he is out of the elements and at least has some food in his stomach." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So anyways, did you have a plan to find the ludicrously lucrative rogue person?" Kasha paused, tapping the handle of her cane. "Not yet," she muttered, tapping faster. "The rogue is unpredictable. No one knows where they come from or where they go once they're done. They are reported to move fast and quietly. They don't have a pattern to killing the people, except..." She started to pace around, her eyes brightening. "Except for that they only work in the darkness of night or an alleyway. We find the alleyway and the night they strike, we can take care of them; easy as one-two-three, but..." Kasha's gaze fell. "But we don't know where they'll hit next. They're unpredictable and no one knows how they can go about the city undetected." Tap... tap... tap... "They leave no evidence, besides the dead body, of course. But the bodies are always checked from head to toe with nothing to be found. What to do about that...?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Syn Posted January 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 "No," she muttered, shaking her head. "There are too many alley's in the city to even count.
