Well, last night certainly was interesting...  I seem to have the devil's luck- two of those things have tried to chase me down, but I've managed to evade both of em.  This last one was too damn close though. 

...There's got to be some way to stop them.

Maybe they don't like you shooting at them.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

I only shot at the first one because it was chasing me. I doubt they have much in the way of intellect beyond a drive to inflict their power on the rest of us.

[ttlymostspecial.livejournal.com]

It could remember.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

I hope not. It wouldn't do for a skilled sniper to have someone or something tailing him.

[ttlymostspecial.livejournal.com]

Tailing, chasing, not much difference.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

tailing as in tracking me, specifically. I hate to think what that sort of intelligence means for others, much less myself.

[ttlymostspecial.livejournal.com]

Be careful. You... really don't want one to actually catch you.

[agebeforeanger.livejournal.com]

Good.

I- ... I have not seen them yet on the upper level.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

Good to hear. Stay safe up there then Lena.

I'm not gonna leave here though. I feel bad enough that so many people I know got caught by those things. I've got to find some way to help them- or stop the wraiths.

[agebeforeanger.livejournal.com]

... Yes.

I do not think that they catch one twice.

I- do not be stupid.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

I won't, remember I make my living dealing with hostile creatures from as far away as possible~

[agebeforeanger.livejournal.com]

...

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

I'm a sniper. Worked for a military contractor before coming here. At least the monsters here are a nice change of pace. not wave after wave of giant bugs.

[she... is a little in awe. :|]

[agebeforeanger.livejournal.com]

... Oh.

Yes. But more problematic?

[ex-regenera246.livejournal.com]

Stay away from them.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

Don't worry Claire, I know. I'll still try to come by every day to help you two out- especially now.

[ex-regenera246.livejournal.com]

No, its fine. We were stupid, and don't need to be babied because of it.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

I don't mind. And I'm helping you two because I worry, not just because you got caught.

[ex-regenera246.livejournal.com]

I mean, you shouldn't reward us for being idiots!

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

It's not about rewarding you. And I think getting caught was probably punishment enough for letting curiosity get the better of you.

[ex-regenera246.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

[ilyblackpearl.livejournal.com]

COME TO MY HOUSE. THEY ARE NOT HERE

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

I'd love to Jack- but trying to find your place at this point might be more of a risk than just staying here. I'll try to keep an eye open for it when I can though.

[moodformelody.livejournal.com]

Good.

... And if there is a way to stop them, I can't think of it.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

I doubt there is one... but I just can't stand by and watch them keep doing this to people.

[moodformelody.livejournal.com]

If there's any way I can help...

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

Thanks Klavier... I'll be sure to let you know if I figure out... well, anything.

[warriorreborn.livejournal.com]

These things.
Hmph, what are they exactly?

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone knows, except maybe the gods.

They're slow, but nothing hurts them- and when they catch someone, the victim blacks out, and wakes up in front of their house the next day, soaked in blood, bruised, and emotionally traumatized.

[warriorreborn.livejournal.com]

It seems as if these 'gods' truly do dominate with cold cruelty...

These creatures, although it may seem so, cannot be completely invincible. Everything has a hidden weakness.

[Crosses his arms, seemingly in deep thought.]

I do not care what happens to anyone else, but these strange beings must be stopped. Because of that, I give you my word as a Warrior of Abel that I will assist anyone if they happen to run into one.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

These aren't the work of the gods. I'm not a huge fan of their work... but I think it's safe to trust their word on this, at least.

I think we'll get along just fine- just be sure you don't get yourself caught too.

[warriorreborn.livejournal.com]

...We shall see.

I assure you that I will not allow such a thing to happen.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

Heh, good to hear.

[bou-san.livejournal.com]

My powers don't work on them, and Lin hasn't come up with any ideas either.
