... He does wear black... though I believe his robes were undamaged.

[mogger]

Yeah, I'm not sure.... [ so much was happen ] I think Alfyn checked him, so I was gonna ask him, maybe.

You gonna be okay, Kate?

[sootprints]

... Yes.

We know it was one of us, so... I should be ready to face any truth, no matter how terrible.

[mogger]

Wish I could tell ya differently, but... I don't think things are gonna get less terrible.

[ her voice does pick up a little after that ]

But I'm not gonna let any monster get the better of me. From the inside, or the outside. The Great Yuffie's not going anywhere.

[sootprints]

[ she lets out a breath, and a bit of tension seems to lift from her posture. ]

... It's reassuring to hear you say that.

Come to think of it... There is something I would like to show you.

[mogger]

We both have our own revolutions to go back to. So we hang in until then, right?

[ i hope it's a soot attack as revenge for strip check ]

What's up?

[sootprints]

[ soots you soots you -- no.

she pulls something out of her dress pocket. it looks like an old scroll. ]

I came across something that may be helpful to us. I plan to share with the rest of the household tomorrow, after we've had a little time to grieve.

[mogger]

[ get her ]

[ :o :o :o :o ]

Wow, great job! How'd you score this?

[sootprints]

I can't say, exactly. But... here. You can look at it first.

[ she'll unroll it so yuffie can see. it looks very old and worn-out, but one passage can be made out... ]

... caution, for the ritual is not without its troubles. The god we seek to bring into our realm might still be a fledgling. A newborn. It needs to be protected and the steps to bring it into the realm completed perfectly, else it just become just as mortal as those who brought it into the world.

[mogger]

Not from the Overseers?

[ yuffie lets out a noise of annoyance after reading this, not at kate but: ]

This whole freaking ritual for a baby god? These freaking cult idiots! Wasn't the whole point that it was supposed to be an all powerful god that could grant them any wish?

[ this is valuable information she appreciates, thank you, but also has to let this out ]

[sootprints]

[ yuffie is right and she should say it. ]

That's what I heard as well... but it seems to have its weaknesses.

[mogger]

If you're gonna kidnap us and possess us for some ritual, at least do it for a real god! This is just insulting!!

[mogger]

... Ahem. So it's a baby god we can fight if that time comes.

[ assuming enough of them are alive to do this ]

[sootprints]

[ well. kate actually lets out a little laugh at that. ]

... It is quite insulting, isn't it.

[mogger]

You'd think they'd have their shit together.

[ god!!! ]

I mean, good for us that we can probably ruin their plans, but. Man. I'm never not gonna be pissed about this.

[sootprints]

I think you have every reason to be.

[mogger]

Well, you too! We demand better from cultist kidnappers!

[sootprints]

We'll have to punish them thoroughly for their disrespect.

[mogger]

Now we're talking. ♪ [ hee hee ]

Seriously, though, Kate, this is really good intel. You could be a ninja operative.

[sootprints]

That's very high praise, coming from the master. I think I would need to train a lot more, though.

[mogger]

That's what you have me for.

Oh, actually, Kate, I got something to show you too. Have you had any luck finding your partner?

[sootprints]

No, not yet.

[mogger]

Dunno if this will help, but... here ya go.

[sootprints]

A list of our monsters...?

[ hell yeah. ]

This should prove extremely useful. I should compare this information with that book of Rondo's...

[mogger]

Yep. Gonna be honest, I've never heard of some of these.

Book of Rondo's?
