[So, it's still early enough to get a full day's work done, and there's much to do around the HQ.

As people know by now, Level 4 has mostly been cleared of active nature, though farther from the apartments near the stairs there are still the remains of vines and moss and dirt on the buildings and floors. Fallen trees and tangled roots still clog up the area around the buildings which must have once been shops.

Aside from the library claimed by Henrietta and perhaps few other establishments, they are doorless, and inside those abandoned buildings there is still evidence of old equipment and rotted furniture waiting to be re-purposed, broken down for offerings, or thrown out if it's beyond use.

There's not much fresh plantlife left here to collect for offerings, but plenty of cleaning to be done, perhaps in Eizon's name, in exchange for the electricity flowing through whatever fixtures people have acquired by now, or as an offering of kindness in exchange for water...

Up on the fifth level, nature stubbornly continues to prowl.]

[grins, almost smirking]

[not nearly as amused as you, mister. but calm again.]

Anyway. Help me look for anything metal. Zhen Ji will take that.

In exchange for what?

[but helps all the same]

Bullets. I go through an unfortunate amount. If fewer now than before.

Wildlife, I presume, not people.

[ah]

Mostly.

[raises his eyebrow]

One exception. Came out all right.

[eyesquint]

What was different about that one?

Didn't quite think it through first. Targeted a hostile and injured someone else.

... What?

A spiritual projection of some sort. It took on the appearance of a monster but reflected its damage back on the young girl summoning it.

Oh. For a moment, I thought you were saying you missed.

-- that's what you were concerned about?

I've never known you to miss.

[flatly]

Unfortunately, I didn't miss.

A young girl, you said, the one summoning the seemingly-hostile spirit.

In the eyes. Specifically.

But she came out fine.

"Fine," yes. In that she was alive but badly injured. If Dellen weren't an option, it could have been fatal.

But it wasn't so you can move on—ah, here's some.

[pulling up some rusty metal]

That doesn't -

[argh, you are infuriating]

Give it here. And don't cut yourself on it.

[makes a faint humphing sound, like really, handing it over]

I'm a doctor. I can worry about these things. Also, close your eyes.

What? What for?
