    "I don't breathe down my members' necks, if that's what you're worried about," Dipsnig says. "But when I have something that needs doing, I can order you to do it. And your actions will reflect on MERC as a whole, more than if you were a licensee. Our resources involve protection, information, medical aid and possibly other members' help in case of emergencies."

    "That's not so bad I guess." Oliver thinks a bit, then finally says, "I'm most definitely becoming a licensee. I don't make the most money now, as stealing from people is generally done by the side of evil. I have one request though. As a licensee, may I turn down jobs if they require me to inflict a wrong on a genuinely good person?"

    "Astrana knows what she's doing, but this is weird magic crap of a higher calibre," Dipsnig says, rummaging in his desk and giving Electra an empty chip. "We might be able to make sure those snake people never use Dena for their magic again, but KABAL's not going to let up."

He's also changed into a more comfortable pair of cotton trousers, because despite Eswil's magic he felt like his pants needed cleaning and his bag needed dropping off.
    "Ale for me, milk for Xun, and I didn't know what your people can drink so I just got you water for now and we can get you something better later, Eswil." he says, setting everything up wherever the two females are.

    Eswill will slowly pad up to the impatient wolf, and hold out the back of one hand for Luna to sniff at. Her legs are tensed and poised to spring back just in case, but she's otherwise relaxed, "What do you need me to do, if anything? I'm not really clear if I could just cast any old spell and let Xun take hold of it, or if I should try to craft something specific that would be easier to twist for her purposes." Nice doggy. If a cat, even a magical one, can be friends with this wolf then surely a goblin/rabbit could!

    Krayger gestures to Xun.
    "She'll have to answer that one." he says as he steps into the room Xun points him to. He himself has no idea on how magic works, so he's just going to not confuse the issue by saying wrong things.

    Luna sniffs, then licks Eswil's hand and yips. She really is quite tame, just...overly friendly.

    Xun barely seems to hear Eswil, flipping through books. Ah here we are...looks like we'll need some red earth, and some sea salt, and a hawk feather...running water, of course, and a stone bowl and some sage bundles... she finally looks up we'll just need someone to be able to draw the runes and push a little magic energy into them to dispel the curse.

    Electra takes the chip, and quickly slots it into the same place she pulled the other one from on her auditory sensor. Her irises flash dimly, before she pulls it back out and hands it back to Dipsnig, before she speaks again.

    "That's if what Shanti told us is true." She leans back slightly, pressing her lips together in concentration for a moment, before going on. "But you're right, KABAL is a growing concern. Their rank and file seem to be street gang types. They're engaged in that sort of business, after all, what with the drugs. Their SWAT squad didn't seem to have the best training, either. They deployed a sniper over the roadblock, but they didn't give him a spotter. Sloppy, and it let me get on top of him and knock him out before he had a chance to do anything about it. Most of the rest of them didn't seem much better. For the record, I only killed two of them. Everyone else at the roadblock either got hit with stun ordnance or got killed by one of their own pulling a pin on a grenade when their remaining leader agreed to surrender and retreat. I did kill the zombies that the demon made, but I'm not sure those really count."

    She pauses for another moment, before going on.

    "Based around the advertising we saw on the way to their base, I think they're going for quantity over quality. You'd think after your foe disabled or killed an entire SWAT squad, that you'd decide that throwing bodies at the problem isn't the solution, but as soon as we got on the highway, they started chasing us again, pretty much right up until we got to the elevator."
    Why is it Plan A is always, "Get 'Em!" and Plan B is, "Cause as much collateral damage as possible"?

    Eswill perks up, "I have a good hawk feather." She fishes in her purse, the normal one and not the one Krayger got her, "And I did pick up some sea salt when Krayger was escorting me around the Mall. You could get red clay from... does it have to be red from iron, or red from dead sea life like shrimp? Or does it matter. And you could get sage from pretty much any grocer's, if it has to be fresh sage then it'd probably have to be a greenhouse this time of year, unless you grow your own." Eswill, being the vanguard of her gobbun warren, had to learn a lot about where to find necessary mystic ingredients for her spellcasting in a city. Her mother taught her to live off the land, but adapting that for city life had been stranger than she thought.

    I think it needs to be red from iron. We're going to need to burn the sage, so it needs to be dried. I'll send up to Sam in the kitchen for that, and some hyssop wouldn't hurt. Xun speaks into a little tube to get a message up to Sam. So that just leaves the earth and the running water. Should be able to run down the tunnels to riverside to grab that.

    Sam will be easily able to find them the herbs Xun wants, plus a stone mixing bowl and some water that PROMISES that it's from a real spring, though he can't authenticate its authenticity.

    "The tunnels should have some red dirt. And there should be drippings from the melting snow if you need water." Krayger suggests.

    "Well, let me know when you need me. Xun, if you don't mind I'm going to have a look at some of your books." Eswill proceeds to do just that, checking spines for interesting titles.

    Dipsnig shakes his head.

    "Quantity over quality sounds about right. It's a common trait among a particular brand of self-important thugs. AMEN used to do the same thing. Which means taking out their leaders really is our best option. Probably the only one. If, and that's a big if, we can get to them."

    [Foyer]

    Dipsnig examines the form and sweeps his right arm in front of it, a crystal-studded vambrace on it flashing. It seems he scanned it. Then he puts it into his pocket.

    "That's about it. You're an official holder of the MERC license. Right about..." A printer on a nearby table produces the license in question. "...now."

    Electra nods.

    "The security at their office seemed fairly light. I can only assume there was a significant magical portion to it that we didn't see because we didn't go inside. I didn't really bother to probe it, we were fairly distracted with other things." She shrugs, and glances at Kirk again, before going on. "VIGIL might beat us to the punch, anyways. From what Anika said, it sounds like Kelligan is picking fights with whomever he can, since his guys have started attacking VIGIL members as well as us. VIGIL probably won't assassinate them, but an organization as large as they are could probably curbstomp KABAL if they really had a mind to."

    Xun hands Krayger the bowl. We won't need a huge amount of dirt, but it'll be easier for you to collect it. Just fill it about halfway full. While Krayger does that, she points out several volumes to Eswil, both introductions to various magic systems and Nexus history books. Oh, this one might be interesting - it's on time effects in the Nexus and how it affects the retelling of history.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Once Krayger returns with the dirt, Xun sets up a few instructions. We'll have to paint runes on - that means the earth, salt, and water have to be mixed up to the right consistency. Eswil, if you would? She locates a ball of twine and hands it to Krayger If you could tie up the sage and hyssop into bundles for burning?

    Krayger nods and does as instructed after setting his jar of dirt down next to Xun.
    "So uh, where are you rubbing this stuff on me? It's just my back and front, right? I don't need to drop my drawers or anything?" he asks. Normally he doesn't have much of a sense of modesty, but he can't go about stripping in front of a lady! And it might be a bit of the curse talking too. He hadn't cared about wearing nothing but a loincloth and chaps for Rassa but well, they were well past courting back then, and she had her fingers in his mind then, too.

    "Tsk." Eswill shakes her head in obvious disappointment, "This is for your own good, Mister. If the expert says strip, you will strip. If you need to do a naked, hoof-thumping dance to make the magic work then You. Will. Dance. Now, sit still until you're needed and Xun, give me those runes." The suddenly mothering and severe gobbun starts by mingling the earth with the salt, sprinkling some salt with one hand and folding it in with the other, ignoring how her bright white fur is stained a deep, rust red. Then she adds dashes of water at a time, damping it, cutting it together with her fingers, and damping again until the earth has the consistency of a particularly wet baking dough. The whole process is oddly reminiscent of hands on baking, and by the end she has both hands deep in the stone bowl, mashing the earth together.

    Finally, she takes one hand out and tastes the tip of her pinky finger experimentally, "Good, salt's mixed through and I can taste the ferrous." She smirks, "Well, not really, but I can smell it on the back of my tongue when I breath in."

    Xun obligingly gives Eswil a book and points out the runic designs. They'll go on the chest, here and here, and then mirrored on the other side. This symmetrical one goes right on the sternum.

    "The way I see it, the most we can do right now is try to get more information. Maybe we can find a way to take a clean shot at this Kelligan or anyone else remotely important." Kirk concludes. They're still in a frustrating situation, unfortunately.

    "If he's picking fights with us and Vigil, he might have some ace in the hole that he hopes will carry him through," Dipsnig points out. "That's what I'd assume, unless we learn otherwise. And if so, we need to know what it is, so we can take it away."

    "If you're at all ticklish then bite your tongue and plug your nostrils. It's almost impossible to laugh like that and I don't want you messing up my strokes. My hands have warmed it up for you, so don't you complain about it being cold." With that, Eswill begins finger painting in short, deliberate strokes. The mud mixture is the same temperature as her hands, as advertised, and she crafts each line or arc in one motion before lifting her finger and moving onto the next, reloading it with the paste as necessary. With such methodical strokes she finishes the runes as perfectly as she can, painting with a fur covered finger on a furrier chest made of musculature and contours.

    "Aaand Done! That wasn't so bad now, was it?" Ignoring, of course, that you've just had a major crush trace patterns across your torso, Krayger.

    For anyone in plots run by me, know that I always tailor solutions to those in the plot. The answer may not be obvious, but it's there, and doable by the displayed abilities of the present characters. If you need help or hints, I'll try to be available to provide them.

    Electra nods.

    "Yeah, unfortunately, we don't really know enough yet. To that end, though, I left a sample of the drugs we stole with Anika at VIGIL. She's going to have them analyze the stuff and find out what it is and does. In exchange, I need to know what Dena and Astrana figure out from that interview, since the cultist is ostensibly under VIGIL's protection."
    Why is it Plan A is always, "Get 'Em!" and Plan B is, "Cause as much collateral damage as possible"?

    "The whole drug trade they have going could be another opportunity. If we can trace where it's coming from we're bound to get lead back to someone important up the chain. It might give us some leverage." Kirk spitballs.
