<i>Somewhere, far off from the events happening tonight, a woman wanders the forest and growls to herself a bit.</i> &quot;Tch, the damned wolf is just running around freely... When I get my hands on it, this time I'll put an end to our little game once and for all.&quot; <i>As the wolf's howls travel through the woods, she'd grin under her mask with a feral mix of hate and joy. Her loathing may run deep, but Red's always happy to have a good fight. Still, thing sounds like its a ways off, and knowing it she won't get there in time to do anything... Regardless, any good hunter can use her prey having been somewhere to get at it, so she'd rush off toward the source of the sound. Getting there long after it's gone, but grinning upon seeing signs of hey quarry.</i>

<i>A woman in red and carrying an axe in one hand, and an old style ball pistol in the other would wander into the place. She'd stop just short of the group for a moment, thinking aloud before walking in.</i> &quot;Well... We've got a hellish number of abnormalities running loose, an old mansion that was abandoned for reasons unknown. All that tells me it's connected, bah, just hope this one can fight!&quot; <i>That thought in mind, she'd walk into the area proper and spot the group, most of them are total unknowns to Red, but she'd smirk slightly upon seeing the whispy sniper. </i> &quot;Oh hey, the old man with the magic gun is here eh? I don't know about the rest of these guys, but at least someone here can be counted on. As for those who I haven't met, just call me Red it's all the name ya need, I'm here ta hunt an abnormality nothing more and nothing less, so steer clear of my firing lines and we'll get along great!&quot;

&quot;Oi kid, you uh should ya know... Get back to LC. I mean, I'm kinda out here to bring things back in, but I'd really prefer if we can do this peacefully, what do ya say?&quot; <i>She's a ruthless killer to be sure, but even Red isn't entirely happy with using violence against a small child. Even if that kid is a fellow abnormality, attacking a little girl? Reminds her of her own past really.</i> &quot;That place wasn't so awful, right? I'm sure that it's better than running around this madhouse without a clue anyway.&quot;

<i>Red would shrug at them, what else would you do with some idiot how never freaking dies. He was in containment for a bit, as that damned cursed monster or something and came back, then there was when he got dragged in with the Fae, and somehow lived through having been devoured by the bastards.</i> &quot;What else is he good for? I just assume you guys bring him along as some kinda bait/testing device. Fucker lives through whatever is done to him somehow, and I have no clue how it works... We think he may be an abnormality, but he also won't stay contained so uh nobody is sure.&quot; <spoiler>Rep, were you reacting? Kinda waiting on you here.</spoiler><div class='edited'>(edited by Red-Riding-Hood-Merc)</div>

<i>Red sighs for a moment, geez what's she gonna do about this kid anyway? Well, might as well go looking about the rest of the place... If she can get her new &quot;friend&quot; to stay nearby.</i> &quot;Well, I'm gonna go check out the rest of this place. Wanna come along kid? Not much to do just standing around here, and I'm betting we can find more of our kind out there if we take a look around. Though, you probably aren't too fond of them.&quot; <i>She'd begin walking off, moving at a rather slow pace and clearly waiting for the small girl to follow after her... Assuming that happens, however, Red would stalk toward the toy room, she's not quite sure what it could be, but likely not anything too awful right?</i>

<i>She'd look at the bear curiously... She's sure it's one of them, but she hasn't got a damned clue what this one does. Tch must be a NEO type. Damned things are pretty far out of her wheelhouse.</i> &quot;Well, I'm entirely sure that thing goes in containment, but I don't actually have any clue how it works or why we keep it locked it up! All I'm able to say for sure is that it doesn't breach and engage in active combat. Thus my knowing almost nothing.&quot; <i>This job would be much easier if she could actually call a damned team or something, why the fuck is she running around without that anyway? Better ask about getting some damn contact info for next time if she's gonna keep playing agent... Toss the snake-like idiot at the bear? Well, she's got no reason not to listen to this insane man, Red would shrug before rushing after Rep, she'd quickly drive her axe into the man's chest and grab hold of him, dragging her prey to the toy room with a grin before tossing him at the abnormality inside.</i> &quot;Done, uh whatever your name is... Though, I'm pretty sure he's alive, unless my axe strike killed him anyways.&quot;<div class='edited'>(edited by Red-Riding-Hood-Merc)</div>

&quot;Pranks? I mean, honestly, I'm a fan of them kid! Anything to break up the boredom of not having things to kill right? Ya got anything tougher though? I could use a real challenge eh, Laetitia.&quot; <i>Despite the fact that she's here to catch the kid, she actually doesn't mind fighting these things. If only they could actually pose some issues for her! Well, she'd still rush after the small girl, the best attempt at a kind smile she can actually pull off showing on her mask... It's not very comforting she's sure, but the teeth are likely better than the burns under it. She'd then laugh upon hearing Nero, murder? Please, something like that won't die.</i>

<i>She'd nod at the sniper as she walks... No need to piss off a guy like him, besides, the sniper's a decent enough sort anyways!</i> &quot;Aye aye Herr Freis, I got no issues with that myself! As for myself, I'll pretty much be up in the face of anything we're fighting against, so to those of you besides Herr Freis? Don't frigging shoot me ya got that!?&quot; <i>Her words would be cut short, however, as the spider-like beasts appear from seemingly no... Oh crap, she knows who's making these damned things, better get that kid back in containment before the town's overrun with spiders or something. That said, she'd rush behind one of the spiders as a grin somehow forms upon her mask. She'd raise her gun toward the things and aim for its head, somehow firing off a string of 4 shots from her ball musket pistol, aimed at each of their skulls or what passes as such... Even she's not sure how that works, but it never seems to run out.</i> &quot;Actually good news, these ones can, in fact, die lucky for us! Now the one making em... Well, I've never been allowed to try it. But given my past experience I would wager she can't. Also, uh I think she turns people into these things or something? I don't recall the details, but we should be fine... Most likely. Don't ask me, people, I just kill and beat stuff up.&quot; <i>Red shrugs casually, acting as though these monsters are just another boring day at the office for her, which in all fairness, they pretty much are.</i>

&quot;Hu-hugging him? What the hell kinda thing does that? I was hoping it'd come alive and try to murder us all or something!&quot; <i>Red sounds quite annoyed by the whole thing, she was hoping for a good solid bloodbath and instead got lameo hugs.</i> &quot;Weird person? Which one Lobotomy Corp is full of those ya know, I've met a good few of the bastards too... Huh, they sending out the Sephirahs or something? Hell, I didn't even know they could leave the building.&quot; <i>That's rather strange to hear, doubtful a normie would call some agent &quot;that weird person&quot;... Though, maybe she's just thinking too highly of this girl's threshold for things being weird?</i>

<i>White haired girl? Is that... Red would turn to Izumi and pay close attention, her yellow eyes shining over at the girl as she stares blankly.</i> &quot;What exactly did he say about that girl hmm? Something about a code perhaps? I think I know the thing's name, but if it's who I'm guessing... Why would they be walking around.&quot; <i>Troubing news if it's who she thinks, and what else would set somebody on edge so quickly?</i>
