Hey.

I'm sure you've heard the rumours goin' around by now, especially with the new guys in town. That name thing's someone's ticket to the sweet life in Heaven or Hell, right? ...Huh. However that works.

A-anyway! Someone out there's gotta have heard something interestin', and I've got a coupla things myself. Just some things I heard workin' at the bar.
Does anyone know a Peregrine called Annabel? Heard somethin' about her being involved in smuggling this thing down here in the first place. And it probably ain't gonna surprise folks who know about the black market shit here that there's a chance that it went to the Heretic, too...

But anyway, that's just the stuff I've got. Anyone heard about anything else going down? If ya have, let us know, right? Someone's gotta be in a better place than I am t' go looking into this stuff and talking to people...

...and workin' out if there's anything we can do.

[A while later, he adds:]

Damn. Remembered another name, too. Donna: angel who hangs around the markets, I think. Dunno if that helps anyone...

I think it came in a coupla weeks ago, right. So it figures.

But yeah. I've got no more idea on what we're meant t' do about it than anyone else. Find it, give it t' someone, throw it in the river...
...whole damn thing's a pain in the ass.

.. Eh.. [ The noise escapes her instinctively, even if it's mentally -- like she's near-stunned in surprise for a moment before her thoughts continue, a little more in a frenzy. ]

I-I don't think that it would be a good idea to throw something so powerful into a river..!

Tch, I don't really either. Ain't got any good ideas, though. Know one guy who'd try and keep it safe, but there's no way of knowin' if that's really what needs doin'...

[ She ponders it for a moment, lightly biting her lower lip. ]

Maybe that's for the better, actually.. I mean, until we know for sure what we need to do here, wouldn't it be easier if we had it and could decide whether we should protect it or destroy it..? Or something else entirely.

[ The objectives have been weird enough at times, after all. ]

As long as we don't have it, we have no idea what's going to happen. Then we won't be able to influence anything..

Heh. [A little grimly for now-] At least we can't make things any worse.

Guess we've just gotta keep lookin' and doing what we can for now.

[ Don't say that too quickly, Kanji. You never know just how things can get worse until they do, after all, even Chizuru knows that.. ]

Yes..! I wasn't able to do much during the last Jaunt, so I really want to give it my all this time.. if we can't figure out what it is that we're supposed to do, then we can't complete the Jaunt either, after all.

Damn right. I ain't givin' up until the Trumps go 'screw this' and drag us outta here. There's gotta be a way forward somewhere...

[ It's a good thing that Chizuru already got used to cursing because she married the biggest pottymouth around.. so it isn't too much for her delicate sensibilities now. ]

You're so determined.. [ So instead she sees the more positive side of Kanji's attitude, and it really does sound like she genuinely admires it. ] That's amazing..! I'm sure that if everyone thinks that way, we'll all be alright.

[Good job, too. 'Damn' is mild where he's concerned. Though at least right now he hasn't slid into Grid cursing.

He chuckles slightly at the compliment, though.]

Yeah. What d' they say? It ain't over until it's over?

That's right.. as long as it's not fully over yet, then there's still hope. Situations can still be turned around.

[ The Shinsengumi have shown her as much. Even in tight spots they never gave up, they kept fighting for what they believed in - and they did sometimes beat the odds because of it, almost miraculously so. ]

After all, there's been some Jaunts that seemed really hopeless, yet we still got through mostly okay in the end.

[He'd totally agree with that. Never give up. There's always a chance.]

Wasn't there for 'em, but I heard... so that's something, anyway.

Then let's make sure to keep up the streak of good luck! I wouldn't want you to have to see a Jaunt like that.

[ Maybe a little too optimistic there, Chizuru.. but being optimistic is sort of her thing, anyway. ]

[He chuckles briefly-]

Heh. Thanks.

You're welcome.

[ Especially since - in Chizuru's opinion - it's nothing that he'd have to thank her for anyway, really. It's only natural. ]
