(3:18:45 PM) ***Blueshift_North navigates through the forest towards the spot on the map.  She turns to South.  "I hate the woods.  Shoulda gone to the water place first." She mutters.
(3:19:49 PM) Ikiryo: "...ooh, that could have been fun. I could have tried out my new heels stuff there!" She frowns at the boots she's wearing instead. "Looking over Reise's information heels and swim suits can be paired."
(3:21:03 PM) Blueshift_North: "Well.  It could be worse, you could have answered the phone when Stingray called." She mutters.  "Anyway swimming in heels sucks.  I tried it while I was high on mutagens.  Anyway we're almost there."
(3:21:52 PM) Ikiryo: "Oh, what is Stingray like? She's Adelinda's mum so she must be nice."
(3:22:45 PM) Blueshift_North: "She is uh.  Aggressive.  Also please do not tell her you exist or that I have two sisters.  She'll want to complete the set."
(3:23:27 PM) Ikiryo: "...I'd like for all to be back together too."
(3:24:31 PM) Blueshift_North: "I mean okay so would I, but like.  In a different way that I don't want to get into right now? Like, no offense South but if we never sleep with the same person that'd be great for me."
(3:25:42 PM) Ikiryo: "...I don't understand." She tilts her head.
(3:27:23 PM) Blueshift_North: ". . . South look.  We're sisters.  And I don't want to know about your sex life.  If you have one.  And Stingray going to collect us will make that quite impossible."
(3:29:25 PM) Ikiryo: "...oh, is that what sleeping with someone means?"
(3:30:23 PM) Blueshift_North: "In this context yes."
(3:33:29 PM) Ikiryo: "I didn't know that!" She nods, grinning.
(3:35:09 PM) Blueshift_North: "Anyway let's go, we should make sure these bad plants go down and I don't like that expression why do I think I'm going to regret you knowing that."
(3:36:35 PM) Ikiryo: "I like learning things."
(3:38:46 PM) Blueshift_North: "I know you do." She holds up a hand and glances around a tree, they're almost there.
(3:39:31 PM) Ikiryo: And nearly runs directly into a figure wearing heavy robes. They are not looking North's way.
(3:40:47 PM) ***Blueshift_North leans back a little.  She tries to get a better look at who's there, and messages South [Okay they're here.]
(3:42:36 PM) Ikiryo: These robes are REALLY concealing from behind. She's not even sure on the gender of them [So do we grab them?]
(3:45:02 PM) Blueshift_North: [Sure.] She steps out, and goes to energy her saber at the figure's neck.  "Sup." She says quietly.
(3:52:40 PM) Ikiryo: The figure starts to turn...and halts as South joins in. "We'll fucking kill you if you move!"
(3:52:46 PM) Ikiryo: She sounds REALLY happy about that.
(3:53:31 PM) Blueshift_North: "I was hoping the boarding saber would say that." She sounds bored.  "Anyway, uh.  Hey friend.  What's all this? What's going on up in here."
(3:53:51 PM) Blueshift_North: "You guys seem to be up to some trouble."
(3:54:02 PM) Ikiryo: "Wait...I know that voice..." The figure goes very quiet after that.
(3:55:32 PM) Blueshift_North: "Okay so who are you?"
(3:57:11 PM) Ikiryo: "Turn around or we'll fucking kill you!" South seems to really be enjoying this.
(3:57:36 PM) Ikiryo: As the figure turns, North recognises her. The Healer from the city.
(3:58:10 PM) Blueshift_North: "How the hell did you get here?"
(3:59:09 PM) Ikiryo: "I...ah...it's not what it looks like."
(3:59:41 PM) Blueshift_North: "Uh-huh.  What does it look like and what's the excuse."
(4:03:30 PM) Ikiryo: "I-I'm not a member of the Circle...I'm spying on them..." She stammers.
(4:04:22 PM) Blueshift_North: "For who, and can you prove it?"
(4:06:08 PM) Ikiryo: "S-Summerholme security...and um...I have proof back in my office..."
(4:08:17 PM) Blueshift_North: "Pull the other leg."
(4:09:11 PM) Ikiryo: "W-What?" She steps backward, looking nervous.
(4:12:07 PM) Blueshift_North: "Come on.  Give me the truth here.  Look.  If you're just over your head that's fine.  That happens sometimes."
(4:13:29 PM) Ikiryo: "I...ah...it wasn't supposed to go this far..." She slumps slightly.
(4:13:50 PM) Blueshift_North: "So what was supposed to happen?"
(4:15:24 PM) Ikiryo: "It was just supposed to be a temporary alliance...just until we set ourselves up. Then they kept asking for more and more...and we can't turn them down."
(4:22:42 PM) Blueshift_North: "Will you just fucking stop it.  South if she lies again.  Kill her."
(4:23:59 PM) Ikiryo: South grins. "So if she opens her mouth again?"
(4:24:34 PM) Ikiryo: The druid glowers at North and South. "Fuck you, clanker." She spits.
(4:25:45 PM) Blueshift_North: "Yeah look, I don't know if I'm too broken up by being sworn at by a racist child torturer."
(4:26:23 PM) Ikiryo: "Race traitors get what they deserve."
(4:27:31 PM) ***Blueshift_North steps forward, covers the Dryad's mouth with a hand and starts to freeze her.  "You can just stop talking now."
(4:34:16 PM) Ikiryo: She manages to get out 'Little...wolf...traitor...' before she can't speak any more. South joins in, spraying cold liquid from her pistol over the dryad. Oddly enough, the robes are not freezing...so South just sticks the pistol down her collar instead.
(4:36:58 PM) Blueshift_North: "Well fuck you too lady."
(4:39:15 PM) Ikiryo: "...we're not wolves." South tilts her head.
(4:40:14 PM) Blueshift_North: "She's probably talking about that werewolf kid.  Come on, we have malevolent biomass to end."
(4:41:48 PM) Ikiryo: South nods. "Alright!"
(4:44:29 PM) ***Blueshift_North frowns.  "Okay actually we need to move fast, deal with the vines, you drop racist cult woman off and I head back to town."
(4:46:08 PM) Ikiryo: "Alright...where should I drop her off?" The vines are filling a clearing nearby, along with the smell of rotting meat.
(4:46:59 PM) Blueshift_North: "The shuttle.  It'll be safe there and nobody will see her."
(4:50:29 PM) ***Blueshift_North looks far away for a second.  She says something, and flicks her wrist out as the plant life starts to ice over.
(4:51:01 PM) Ikiryo: South joins in, covering the area in rapidly freezing liquid...then, with a loud crack, it all shatters.
(4:51:44 PM) ***Blueshift_North turns and starts running.  "Catch you back at the shuttle!" She texts everyone [Meet me back at the ship, I have a surprise (good one)]
(4:53:23 PM) Ikiryo: It's a good several minutes of harder running than North's done in a long while but she manages to get to the city again before long...
(4:54:03 PM) ***Blueshift_North slows down as quick as possible and heads to visit the small child again.
(4:54:45 PM) Ikiryo: Inside the healer's building...is emtpy. The sheets are off the bed she was on and no one is here.
(4:57:25 PM) ***Blueshift_North scans through the room, before accessing her ship to scan the surface for the girl's communicator.
(4:57:40 PM) Ikiryo: Her comlink...isn't in the city. Wherever it is, it's left the city and searching an entire planet with her ship sensors for a single comlink could take a long time. She hears a whimpering from under the covers that have fallen off the bed.
(4:58:57 PM) ***Blueshift_North takes a look under them.
(4:59:51 PM) Ikiryo: Under the bed she spots the little wolf cub. He has a crossbow bolt of all things sticking out of his side and his jaws are wet and red.
(5:02:06 PM) Blueshift_North: "Hey." She goes down to one knee.  "Hey it's me.  Are you going to be okay?" She asks quietly.
(5:07:20 PM) Ikiryo: He whines pitifully, clearly not able to move beyond crawling with his front paws.
