First Night [Action]

[cowledcrusader]

[In the middle of the previous night, a note will be left under the door of Clark Kent.  It reads as follows:]

Clark,

There are urgent matters to discuss.  Be on top of Community Housing 7 at midnight.

[The note is not signed and not dated.  Mysterious letter is mysterious.  The only question is whether or not Clark will meet him there at the appropriate time.   As for the rest of the night before then, Batman will keep tabs on Luceti.  He's looking for anyone in particular he might find useful.  If you want to be shadowed by this vigilante or speak with him feel free to be out and about minding your own business.  Don't worry about finding him.  He'll find you.

Be warned, he may not even stop to talk if he doesn't want to.  That's just how he is.]

[He takes in the information quietly and calmly, nodding at the more important bits... his eyes narrow particularly at the description of Kefka as a powerful wizard. A man with that kind of power and a mind like Joker's..]

Trust you to figure that much out in just a few days. And I was already on guard about Kefka, for the record. Any man with a mind like that would put any Leaguer on edge.

What do you think would set Moro off? Just entering the forest?

No. Moro has not simply attacked any individual who's entered the forest. She's a wolf, she's used to other species entering her territory. It's all about intent. Disturbing or taking anything she deems hers will draw her wrath. She thinks of herself as the alpha here. She'll do whatever it takes to keep that position. For a self-proclaimed god, she's little more than a feral beast that can speak.

There are others who may pose a threat. A man, Major Jin Kusaragi, appears to be of questionable stability. I haven't had enough time to dig deeply enough to figure out why, but I suspect he's a very dangerous man. There's also another I haven't been able to find much about. Someone by the name of Nu attacked a few citizens of the village a few months back. Though Nu has since been quiet, I doubt it will be an isolated incident. Keep your eyes open.

Quite the hornet's nest here.

So if we were to disturb or threaten the forest somehow, she'd react in kind. Well, at least she's predictable.

Jin Kusaragi and Nu... I'll make note of them.

Very much so. Almost feels like back home, don't you think? [He gives a little wry smile.]

[His tone will be dry, even for Batman.]

A little too much.

Bruce, about the external forces I mentioned... what do you think of the ones other than the Malnosso? The so-called "Third Party"?

[cowledcrusader.livejournal.com]

I'd think they were fake if there hadn't been so many accounts of their attack here. Though I'm still not prepared to rule out that they are just another diversion created by the Malnosso.

If the Malnosso are telling the truth, they pose a great danger to everyone here. Their obsession with the concept of death is twisted. They've perverted concepts from Buddhist and Hindu philosophy in that they seek a death that is a final release from the torment of life. This combined with a sort of Aztec mysticism that enjoys the concept of ritual sacrifice. And they "save" anyone they can, because they think of themselves as messiahs.

They are the most dangerous sort of fanatic.
