(Is it bad that I'm really enjoying watching my players jumping at the shadow of an enemy I've barely implied?)
Ask the people where to find the person we are delivering to is, do not accept any liquids or food or anything similar.
Actually as a standard rule from now on, no liquids or food from any sources we did not retrieve it from or cannot be vouched for by sealed packages. This includes restaurants. So no restaurants, we better learn how to cook.
I am extremely against getting a parasite from a manipulator. Also avoid skin contact when not around people designated as safe by us, just as a precaution.
You remember around the time you were six, your private school showed you an informational film about manipulators. That time you learned that in New York, during the Burnings, there was this Burner manipulator. Instead of just killing everyone like a regular Burner, he kept them alive, but got his bugs into the water supply of the city then everyone started drinking the water... Then he activated the bugs. All of New York was under his control, and it was one of the three times that the Defence Forces had to deploy a tactical nuke to defeat a Burner and their partisan forces. They say in the New York sewers, deep down, there's a whole hive of manipulator bugs, totally free of any control so any Manipulator could just grab them. And if they get into the water table...
You spent as long as you could making sure to only drink bottled water and packaged food. When your mother told you that you should stop being silly cos a Manipulator could get their bugs into packaged food and bottled water, you had a rather large freak out and tried to get yourself checked into the hospital for manipulator infection. They were just beginning the treatment when your dad came in, grabbed you by the arm, and pulled you out. He shouted at you the whole way back home, and all you said was that you were just taking precautions.
You hate Manipulators. You hate the idea of being controlled by a tiny parasite that you wouldn't even know about, and you hate the idea of someone you don't know being able to pull your body along to their wishes like a puppeteer.
Greet the guards. Say you have a letter for Azucena that we were asked to deliver personally.
"So yeah, I was at that last club meeting, and
Azucena says
Kraus is stepping on too many toes this time." says the first student.
"Hah,
Kraus. She the chick with the white hair? God, she's like 50 and she looks my grandma." says the second.
"Telegram for Azucena! Hey, you never hear that in movies anymore. My dad showed me this cowboy film, I think it was Blazing Saddles? Anyway, there's this bit where a guy gets a candygram. That's like a telegram with candy. Why does no one do that anymore? That would be so kickass unless that guy was a Manipulator then it would be weird and if you ate the candy you should probably take some Anti-Manip pills really quick. Anyway, a non-candygram telegram message for Azucena that needs to be delivered personally."The two look at each other with the sort of look only friends can develop. The first one goes "Okay, who's it from?"
Daniella smiles and is about to say
Kraus, but since they didn't seem very happy about her you give
Daniella a gentle kick in the shin and she, instead of an aggression abusing name, lets out a sound similar to Kraguufagoowww.
