So... I've noticed that the appearances of those Rank-Up-Magic cards have gone down, since that incident with the "demons" and all. ... I should be relieved, but at the same time, I'm really not. I wish I had a better lead than "the one who apparently made them was seen in another country entirely". That doesn't help me at all.

*Sekka is investigating. Where? Just about anywhere, really. She can be found at the remains of the Momentum reactor, checking out alleyways or places not usually wandered.

... ... or she can be loitering across the street from Labirinto, very specifically there.*

Those cards weird me out, too, for reasons I can't even...totally place. But...Labrys gave one to Yuma? And I think I trust her.

[guardsthestorm]

... I'd heard about that.

I don't know exactly if it's wise to trust whatever Rank-Up-Magic card is given, but on the other hand, he hasn't been acting visibly crazed like the other people who've used them.

You've met this Labrys person I've heard rumors about?

[grimgrimwar]

Mmhm.

We were in a really bad situation and she showed up and basically saved our butts. Then she and I talked a little bit after that.

[guardsthestorm]

... You're lucky. I spent a week trying to find her, but she seemed to vanish before I could. I'd been starting to wonder if she was made up or something to taunt me.

I mean. Good that she saved you and everyone else who got involved in that mess that happened, but it left me with a dead end with my own job.

[grimgrimwar]

Trust me. What I went through to meet her was not lucky.

[guardsthestorm]

That's fair.

Did she. Say anything about what had been happening around here, before those "demons" showed up?

[grimgrimwar]

Like, the Numbers'n'shit?

Nah, not really. She was mostly preoccupied with the demons - although, now that I think about it....huuuh. I guess she's probably got her eyes on the Legendary Numbers...

What's your job, by the way?

[guardsthestorm]

The Legendary Numbers? That's what that apparent Rank-Up-Magic creator in France was after, right?

I have a security job with Noriko's company, mainly. One of the people who got affected by one of those cards attacked her home over it, so I've been investigating into the source of it. ... Otherwise, someone unrelated to her asked for help in this, who prefers to remain anonymous when talking about them.

[grimgrimwar]

Yeah. Apparently. I dunno what happened to it, though.

Oh.

Well, uh. That's all I know about 'em. Aaaand unfortunately, I don't think you're gonna find Labrys or her buddies unless she wants to be found.

[guardsthestorm]

That's annoying. Hm...

... Do you have any idea what the "Legendary Numbers" are? I've never heard of them, and neither has my associate.

[grimgrimwar]

I really don't. Which makes the shivering feeling I get up my spine whenever they come up really, really bother me.

[guardsthestorm]

... I guess I'm going to have to keep an eye and ear out for whenever these things are mentioned... If this Labrys person and her group are going after them, then it's probably my best lead right now.

Thank you. At least I know... Something more, which I can't complain about at all.

[grimgrimwar]

Yeah, well.

Pay it forward, I guess?

[guardsthestorm]

... Yeah.

Well, I guess at least if they can't be found unless they want to be found, right now, I should stop wasting my time searching the city.
