17th Cinder: For whose sake?

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

[ To say that the last little kink in Mayfield's existence was disturbing and frustrating for Shana is to be understating it. So, in lieu of any more useful release activity, like hunting Rinne or Crimson denizens, Shana is trying to eat herself rotund. (Given her contract with Alastor being in full effect, this is rather unlikely, but she'll give it a good go regardless.)

As such, Shana is eating in multiple places throughout town. ]

First Location: The Park [ Shana is eating melon bread on a bench, several discarded wrappers sitting beside her, and rather less cute eating noises can be heard as she busily digs in. ]


Second Location: The School [ Shana is eating the tasteless lunch provided by the drone lunchladies with rather ferocious gusto, and woe to anyone who dares steal her food. ]


Third Location: Home [ Shana is continuing the quasi-compulsive eating at the dinner table, taking huge portions even of Wilhemina's less-than-stellar (And less than edible cooking without complaint]

Phonecall, filtered from drones and the town authorities, as well as the smiths.

Mou! Did we learn anything at all this time? I mean... we know now their system is imperfect, but we still don't know what powers the mechanism of resurrection anymore, unless someone saw them fix it. Did anyone manage that?

No, just two Flame Hazes. Myself and Wilhemina Carmel, who lives with me.

[ Whew. ] That's a relief.

[ A blink. ] So wait, there's more of your kind? Er, with your job, I mean. [ Wow, that was almost insensitive. ]

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

Here? No. In Misaki city, where I live, there are 3 of us, and there are a great deal of Flame Hazes throughout the world.

[ SHe doesn't seem to notice the possible insensitivity. ]

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ He whistles. ] Damn. All that just sounds kind of crazy to me.

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

Really? Well, what is your world like then?

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

For starters, supernatural things and magic aren't supposed to exist. [ Though they totally do, apparently. Vampires, alchemists, summoners, girls with untold volumes of books in her head, espers... ]

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

Of course not! That's why they have to hide them away. We do the same thing, using Torches and Fuzetsu.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

...right. Only I don't think it was anything like that, but that might just be because I lived in a city where science was the order of the day and I think anyone trying anything funny like that would have a lot of people out for them.

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

That's weird too...
