You think THAT's funny.
I failed to figure out how to make an obvious "Annie, Get Your Gun" pun.

Talkin' the Hurt Business
You take a breath and blow it out slowly. You're pretty sure you just fucked up big time, but Alexander Anderson doesn't dwell on his mistakes. Alexander Anderson presses forward. Sure, this usually results in collateral damage roughly equivalent to a tactical carpet bombing, but it gets the job done.
"Well... shite. That's a problem. But seeing how ye're apparently not too far gone yet, I say we make it a problem for another time."
She looks at you, inscrutable behind the mask, and you wonder whether you just made it worse.
Then she collapses into laughter.
She's clutching her chest, wheezing as she tries to catch her breath. The second tall man, retracing his steps, regards her oddly and you watch her, trying to figure out how worried you should be about this. Between howls, she reaches up and pulls off her mask to give herself more air. Her curly hair, more gray than black, bobs up and down as she attempts to steady herself with her hands on her knees.
She looks up at you for a moment, her kindly brown face split near in half by her grin, before dissolving into giggles once again. You let her burn herself out and replace her mask before prodding.
"You alright?"
"I'm fine," she says. "It's just that I expected you to try and comfort me like I was some wee damsel. You looked so mortified when you realized what you'd said."
It takes her two tries to breathe deeply enough to re-establish her bearings.
"Honestly, this doesn't change terribly much for me. I knew that losing oneself was a risk every Hunter faced and that one day it might happen to me. This just confirms it. I do have something to ask of you, though."
"What might that be?"
"Do you think you could kill me, Father Anderson?"
You look into the lenses of her mask, loom as best you can, and grin.
"I think I can kill anythin', livin' or dead, that walks on God's green earth." Or flies, swims, teleports, phases through solid matter, intrudes upon our three-dimensional plane from a fourth-dimensional space, or uses any other potential means of locomotion.
She nods, seemingly pleased by your bravado.
"That's taken care of, then. And to answer your question: I do believe I will aid you. It's my duty to hunt those consumed by the blood, so it would make my job much easier if we cut that off at the source. And anyway, it's been a while since I've had the chance to just go out and do what I know is the right thing. You don't get those kinds of opportunities in my line of work."
You smile and offer your hand, which she takes without hesitation. Your mind immediately gets to work coming up with awesome names for your team-up and you have to make an effort to wrangle it back to the task at hand.
"I've been thinkin'," you say as you turn back towards the chapel. "The incense does a pretty good job o' dealin' with beasts, but Lumnia, the woman from the Choir, said they were lookin' for subjects ta experiment on. Any ideas for keepin' the likes o' them out? Any other hunters ye know?"
Maybe "The War Hawks?" No, bad Anderson. Stay on target.
"Hm. We could barricade all but one entrance, make it into a chokepoint. Fill it with some traditional traps. We also have access to that barrier you used on Gascoigne's house. As far as other hunters, nothing's certain, but you might be able to get Djura on your side. I think I mentioned him to you earlier. He broke from the Church after they burned Old Yharnam; he's got as much reason to hate them as you do. That's assuming the old bastard is still down there, or still even alive."
"He's still in Old Yharnam? How long ago was that, even? What's he doing there?"
"A long, long time ago. When I saw him last, he said he would defend the beasts who still lived there. He said they were still people. Can't say I agree with him, but he did have this fantastic gun set up. It had several barrels that rotated and could fire at an incredible rate. He gushed about the thing like a new mother."
To be fair, you have the same reaction towards Gatling guns. Americans may have shit for brains, but that A-10 they've got is a Goddamned work of art.
"Besides him, Henryk, Gascoigne's old partner, may still be around somewhere. I originally came to Yharnam looking for him; I thought I'd say hello to Gascoigne and see if he knew anything before I dug too deep on my own. Henryk's incredibly skilled, but I've heard his mind's starting to go. He could be a liability more than an asset. Still, it could be worth keeping an eye out. You can't miss him; his clothing is the most awful yellow. I honestly think he lost a bet."
"Angry banana man, got it."
You can feel her disapproval through the mask.
"We haven't much daylight. Time to get to work," she says before walking back towards the door.

Anderson is prepared for anything that needs killing that has a certain means of travel.
If evil took the bus I'm sure he would have a bus schedule for every bus in his bottomless sleeves.

I just got the oddest image in my head, of Anderson waiting at a train station to board the Flying Pussyfoot so he can kill the Rail Tracer. Except I think Clare might win that particular fight.

Djura is indeed insane, but he's the nice kind of insane. You just need to dodge his bullets a bit, go along with his crazy talk for and it's all fine.
And he's in this to help people, even if his definition of people is slightly different from normal, so he might help us protect the chapel, provided we ensure the Beasts in Old Yharnam are safe during the Night of the Hunt.
Debatably insane.
He's not wrong that the beasts of Old Yharnam used to be people. I can understand him wanting to protect those poor victims against any further harm.
It's extremely unclear about whether or not the Old Yharnam beasts avoid leaving the town to go hunting down humans. If they don't, then maybe he's got a point after all. If they do, he's either delusional (insane) or deluding himself (not insane).
As a point for the argument of "sane", there is clearly another hunter who agrees with and works with him on the goal. It's much harder to find two crazy people with such a similar delusion, I reckon.
The two of them also manage to SURVIVE in a town full of beasts despite not wanting to kill the beasts, which suggests that the beasts don't attack them.
The beasts might accept their presence, while attacking strangers as invaders to their territory.

Well meant his(Djura) point about the beasts still being human.

Well, that's probably going to come in handy tonight. Good to know it's not going to catch him completely by surprise.

Always good to work with professionals.
No psychotic breaks or panicking or screaming here, just cold rationalization and steel-hearted determination.
Good girl.

You don't survive as long as she or Anderson has as a hunter without accepting the fact that you're probably going to die in a fairly horrible way. 'Turned into a monster and cut down by your former compatriots' is I believe number three on the list of most likely deaths, right behind 'bled out after a fight' and 'got eaten' and frankly it doesn't even make the top twenty of worst ways to go.

Djura has a bone to pick with the church so if we can get Old Yharnam's equivalent to the Crazy Cat Lady on our side, all the better.
Also he has a god's damned pile bunker for a weapon and you know Anderson'll like that.

Yes? He did swear to hunt down the Healing Church, bring an end to their schemes, and cast down their god.
That's kind of what he was discussing with Eileen in the update, isn't it?
