Okay, so, uh. There's a black panther monster thing running around in the street, killing people. Just. In case anybody was wondering. Might want to be careful, maybe stick to going around in pairs, unless you actually like dying horribly and um. Getting eaten. I'm pretty sure that's what happened, anyway.

On a related note, can I get somebody to be back-up gryphon-checker in case I don't show up some morning to let him out? He was kind of pissed at me this morning when I finally got to him.

At least one can. I mean, unless there's really an animal running around killing people, only at night, from the shadows, and laughing at them when they try to fight back. That's a really smart animal.

[upcard]

Ah... I see.

[It still sounds like something out of a horror novel to her.]

Can we... stop it? From doing that, I mean. [you know. killing people. That's bad.]

[tailforbrains]

I don't know. It'd be pretty hard. I cut it, and the stupid thing healed right in front of me.

[upcard]

It healed itself...?

Do you--think we could talk to it?

[tailforbrains]

If you can find it before it finds you, sure, give it a go.

[Obviously, Neeshka doesn't think it's going to do much good.]

[upcard]

Oh, no, I--I couldn't...!

[She sounds utterly terrified at that.]

[tailforbrains]

And I obviously couldn't, seeing as, you know, more than a match for me, and I wouldn't want to risk it hurting Monkey. So I guess unless somebody else out there wants to try, avoiding is kind of the way to go, here.

[upcard]

[... yeah, there's not a lot she can do about that.]

Ah...

I guess you're right. It just really worries me... what if someone gets badly hurt?

[tailforbrains]

Then we'd better hope they're one of us so they can die and come back, or that they've got a good mage friend to patch them back up.

[Honestly, Neeshka only even cares if it's one of the Travelers. People die in cities like this all the time. Going more quickly, under a panther attack, might not be a horrible way to go.]

[upcard]

[Mai is cowed enough by that, if nothing else. She can't do anything about the situation, after all.]

...Right... um... thank you for warning all of us, Neeshka-san... I'll try to be careful.
