Lisa started walking next to her. "What about Arun?" She asked. "She won't be able to walk. The forest isn't too dense, but getting a stretcher through it will still be difficult."

Lisa shrugged. "Don't think so. Best to just let it dangle, that way I can still use it to help with my balance." She looked around. "What is the plan, by the way?" She asked. "Are we staying here or are we leaving? Also, do we still need to do anything here?" She heard her stomach rumble. "Also, are we planning to have breakfast?" she asked a bit sheepishly.

Kumiko raised a hand. "I can keep an eye on that thing," she said. "One of my abilities allows for improved senses, so I should be able to observe it from a distance." She paused. "I might need someone who can interpret stuff for me though."
-
KanMien nodded. "That sounds good. I suggest we do both though. If we use formal channels we can just ask the PR department to do it for us, it should be easier that way. In the meantime we can go and pay a visit to the Precursors, as well as any possible groups that don't have formal communications with us." They briefly looked at Kumiko and Whisper. "We might also want to send a few people towards the epicenter, to scout. They don't need to actually do anything, but it might be good to have some of our own people keeping an eye on things."

Lisa watched Lizanne and Renata. "I've heard of ways to heal it," she said. "They're expensive though, and require special magic. I can look into it once I get back to the Alleycity. For now there isn't anything we can do about it though, so I'll just have to deal with it." "Besides," she said, forcing a smile, "It isn't that bad. It isn't my dominant hand, so I don't use it that much, and my shoulder still works, so it doesn't impact my balance too much." She swung her arm around to demonstrate it. "At least it wasn't one of my legs, or my right arm." Or my spine, she silently added.

Lisa woke up, and tried to stretch, only to be met with a stab of pain. Confused, she tried to clean her eyes, but noticed her left hand didn't work. Tilting her head she tried to remember what had happened last night, and slowly everything came back. Feeling nauseous she grabbed her left arm, lifting it up to see the grey. After sitting like that for a bit she finally got out of her blanket and slowly stood up, grabbing the blade, and walked over to the others, dragging it behind her. "Hey," she said. "Did anything else happen last night after I fell asleep?"

You know, this is offensive. We don't kill our Co-workers! We kill everyone else!

KanMien tilted their head, thinking. "Possible," they said, "but it seems unlikely. Given what's going on right now and how sudden it was I don't think anyone would have had time to hire them, and it would likely cost a lot as well. The only ones with the resources would be the larger guilds, and they'd likely send people of their own to investigate. Though again, we would want info on their investigations as well, so that shouldn't be such a big issue. It might be best to stay away from the Ghostbloods though, or at least go through official channels. If any guild would spot an infiltrator it would be them. TUBA will have information, but given the presence of Sudiov it might be ... problematic to attain said information. I'd say our best bet would be the precursors. They don't have that many powerful troops, but they're all over town, so they'd likely have a fair bit of information. The underground groups might have some interesting things as well, but I'm not aware of their locations, or on how to best get the information."

Lisa sat back against the wall, trying to sleep, but found that she couldn't. She silently stared into the flames, when suddenly her eyes fell on Tish's corpse. At that moment everything that had happened hit home, Silently tears started streaming down her face, and finally she fell asleep, hand lying on the hilt of her Shardblade.
-
"Maybe," KanMien said. "But it's getting access to that info that's difficult. And we also have make sure that the intel we get isn't wrong, just because it's their intel doesn't mean someone changed a few bits to kill off a couple of their co-workers. I mean, we are talking about the Ghostbloods."

"Doesn't hurt that much," Lisa lied. "Not much to do about it though, I think." She laid the sword down next to the wood, and pushed it back against some stones, to have something to lean against. She looked around and with a small chuckle picked up the blanket she had used before everything happened. She sat down and wrapped herself in it, trying to hide the state of her arm.
-
Lisa winced at the hug. "Careful," she said, "broken ribs." She held up the shardblade. "He's dead," she said. Her face clouded. "At least, I think so. I didn't really want to go and check. And from what I heard the sword is only supposed to appear when he dies, right?"

When Lisa regained consciousness she was lying against a tree, with Hellbent's corpse in front of her. She tried to sit up, then froze as a flash of pain ran through her. Broken ribs, she thought absently. She noticed she was clenching her right hand, and found that she was still holding her knife. She tried to move up her left arm to close it, couldn't feel her hand and elbow. She knew that she should feel panic, but instead she just felt numb. She slowly moved her right hand, closing the knife and putting it back in her pocket. Slowly she stood up, trying to ignore the flashes of pain, and looked at Hellbent. She saw his sword lying next to him, and after moment of hesitation, picked it up. A small flash of light came from the gemstone on the blade, and she slowly started walking back to the ruins, blade dragging behind her. Lisa reached the edge of the forest, and saw the fire amidst the ruins. Tired she walked towards it, looking for the others. When she entered the light of the fire she cracked a tired smile. "Hey," she said.

KanMien smiled, and held up their phone, images of the mist visible. "It's not much," they said, "but I do have few sources in the city. I don't really have much info though, but there was talk about a riot at the government building, as well as a rough location of the epicenter." Their look turned thoughtful. "As for the Ghostbloods, I'm not sure. I don't really trust most of them. Though from what I remember, Max and Althea might be willing to work together, they're not that bad for Ghostbloods."

Hesitantly Shade opened the door and peeked around the corner. "Um, sorry sir," she said, "I'm new, and the other priests told me I should come and see you?" @Blessing of Potency
