>[The AM] doesn't like people seeing her as anything but the cavalier, apathetic person she normally is. Sitting around exhausted and haggard looking isn't something she wants to do.

(("Haggard" here means "without makeup," right? ))

Haggard

((I know what it normally means, I was maki...wait, what?))

"Oh...okay..."

Will also has a confession. And doing good doesn't make crimes not get charged; you'll get thrown into jail for murder no matter how many murders you catch.

And he's working on finding evidence. After all, the bodies can't be far from their settlement, which will be a fairly small area where a suspicious number of people have disappeared over the history of Australia...

Hainuwele looks around to the left and right if she is being watched

>.>

<.<

Hainuwele takes the bag of pennies into the basement, fill a room up with it and swims in them like scrooge McDuck

Given the relative sizes of Hai and the pennies, that would work even worse than McDuck's pool. This is saying a lot.

Right, before I say this, I'm going to very clearly state that I have nothing against Hainuwele or Akroma, but to be honest, bragging about killing forty people to a group who want to stop people who do that, is a fairly stupid idea.

Which reminds me. How do the police react to Will's report?
I'd expect something roughly like: "Wait, what? One sec..._{He's from where? Oh, that makes sense.} Bring her in, I guess. We'll see if these claims are true or not."

that depends on the accupuncture point in question

_{One c.}
Sorry.

nd I have to add that nobody even trying to understand the viewpoint is rather inflexible to the point of being ignorant, but that is pretty much Hainuweles complain against human nature as a whole. All they see are the human lives lost, but not the many, many more lives lost among the fingerlings, because appearantly, the lives of small people count less.

There are non-murder ways to avoid the fingerlings/mouse people/lilliputians being killed. I've pointed out a few. I've also pointed out that, unless the little folks are purposefully attracting humans to their settlements, there is no way they'd get that many invaders. (Yes, one a year is a lot. How many people are going to happen to wander through that one specific patch of Outback?)
Come to think of it, why haven't there been investigations into the disappearances in that area?

to fingerlings, a human is close to a natural disaster, and those have to be prevented. if humanity could build a bomb that can stop hurricanes from reaching the mainland, they could.

Hurricanes are not sentient, thinking beings, and we wouldn't have other ways to stop the hurricanes. Hurricanes, unlike humans, can't be knocked out or drugged, and ignore "No Trespassing" and "Do Not Enter" signs.

I will point out that Kyle smashed a guy up for writting on his suit and no one protested.

I don't remember that, but something tells me that that guy was not murdered. And that there wasn't much we could do.
And that this wasn't being done on a frequent, society-wide basis.

but it's the of course the ones that are protesting most vocaly that make the biggest impression, and thus reflect upon everyone else. Just like a lone drunkard is not representative of mankind, and yet can be the standard things are judged upon

And if you kill people on sight because a lone drunkard smashed stuff, you are a horrible person.
Which is kinda the thing I'm protesting against. I'm not discriminating against the fingerlings because they're four inches tall, I'm discriminating against them because they're serial killers.

then again, at that time I think everyone seriously misjudged the size of Hainuwele, because 10 centimeter is hardly something that you can easily put in your mouth. even without Hainuwele struggling, it is a serious choking hazard, even if you chew to make her more swallowable, all those bones...

You can't swallow her whole, but you could definitely stick her in to the waist or so.
I recall pointing that out.

That's the downside of your brand of magic. On the bright side, it's more versatile.

"Unusual. But I don't think I'll lose much if I wait before investigating deeper..."

Continue checking the smith's shop to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Firstly, who's Chihu? All these crazy names. Who's who, anyway? The agents, I mean. Hogosha's the squidhead, but there's also the bossperson, plus somebody else. Do a quick mental rundown of agent descriptions and names I know.

That's about it.
I got the names either from lists of Japanese names or from Japanese name generators. Well, except one, and that's because he has a Korean name. They aren't crazy, they're just foreign.

Then, question agent: "Excuse me, but has there been any progress on better magic countermeasures? Are you at liberty to say?"

"I think I'd be at liberty to say if I knew anything, miss."

((I should have specified.

And because, from Carl's point of view, the ring is completely not working. Also because I kinda enjoy subverting GM expectations. I'm seeing how long I can justify not transforming. Probably until he gets tutored or something.))
