"Great. We're gonna have to fight a Pestilence wannabe? I guess I'm glad Miss Flonne can cast healing spells thanks to one of her old students."
"Can you tell us anything else? A Pale Horse stole 50 Dollars from me and I want it back. Anybody we can talk to if you can't give us more information? Oh, and here." Selena offered the man a 20 Dollar Bill. She just would've spent that money on more meth anyway.
'A party, that could be the perfect place a Sin would lurk around at'
Selena was getting confused with all the voices in her head. But she heard the message and excused herself from the paper boy's company. Waiting just long enough in case he had something important to say. Any clue was valuable after all.
"I'm afraid I don't. Sorry."
"Answer's in: Dark Souls, how pleasant."
"We're dealing with a different Sin at the moment, though. I do, however, suspect that neither of them are particularly sturdy compared to anti-Type weaponry."
"Isn't that a video game? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Miss Flonne is from one too. What do you propose we do to stop this Sin? The paperboy said that Healers are only effective for a while, so my cleansing spells wouldn't necessarily stop her diseases."
"The Sins' defining characteristics are not being locals. We shouldn't have to worry about Pale Horses unless somebody sics one on us, and given that if we know where this person is going to be I can snipe her from the other side of the planet - though that perhaps overstates my capabilities a bit, because I've only considered shooting through a decent arc of the planet, not the entire thing - we can prooobably get her."
" Oh that's cool" he said not paying attention at all. Shrugging his shoulders he gave the man a thumbs up for the info.
A party huh? that sounds like a place a son would be.
He listened to the conversation, and was going to speak up but he had no idea what to say. Oh! He just thought of something. " so what I can understand is that we 1 need to be careful and 2 go to the party to investigate that so like a good plan to me".
"I thought it was a good plan too. But like Jessica says she may take hostages or try to make the party people collateral damage. We may wanna rethink our strategy." Selena said.
"What did you have in mind? Do we even know where she's coming from to intercept her? I had a thought. It may not be popular but... if she's involved in anything illegal, maybe we could tip off the authorities to intercept her as our unfortunate accident? We don't have to tell them anything about ourselves."
"Yeah, you're right. It's not very likely that they've done something illegal that they haven't covered up. That was my best idea tho. Do you have anything else in mind? Besides from Ruby the demoness, the souls in me aren't really suited to stealth, so much as all out direct combat."
"I'm a clairvoyant and a literal mind reader, and I can teleport. I can get the job done if you need me."
James silently joined the others as the talked put in his two cents. He kept scanning the streets, every odd glance thrown their way was met with the person having the idea to immediately go home and take a nap
"That makes things easier. I suggest we go to the party and just wait for the Sin to be by themselves. Then, we gang up and attack all at once. We could set some traps if anybody has powers like that? Really, if a direct brawl is what we end up doing, we don't need much to set up besides who's going to hit them first, how hard, and making sure they're away from support and the other party people. But that's just how I see it and I'm not that smart." Selena said shyly.
"Why, exactly, are we letting the Sin have their prepared battlefield? I'm going to go find somewhere isolated that we can explode, and then I can warp her to the point."
"Did you miss the part where I said we wait for the Sin to be by themselves? We could wait until they're outside, on the way home, whatever. But fine. I'll be over here."
She hadn't walked away to cool down before because she wasn't sure how to get reunited with everybody. But if somebody else had the same idea as her, going with him may be an option, since presumably they would actually want 2 members of the team to come back.
