[Solymr]

: I told you, I know who you are. I won't kick anyone out if they're capable, whether they're blind or ex-gang members. I didn't ask that question just to piss you off, though. There was a recent report of a murder in the West district, Little Devil was seen in the area and it's not Bulls territory.

[S34N1C]

: "I *am* standing right here, you know. I can speak for myself. I assure you, my skills with a sword are in no way diminished by my lack of sight."

"Oh, I-I'm sorry. That was rude of me. I didn't mean to insult you like that. . . "

[Deus Asmoth]

"Give the blind swordswomen a chance sound like something outta a legend or fairytale and I for one want to see what she can do."

"I think there isn't going to be much in the way of fairytales in this line of work. All the same, if she passed the same tests we did I don't see what the problem is."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"How about we worry about who can do the job once we start doing the job?"

"A murder. Hmm. Tell us more about it?"

[Twinwolf]

"Blind or not, she'd have had to pass the tests. If she's here, it means she did."

[I_Like_Pi]

"A murder investigation right from the start? Not sure why I expected anything else..."

[Deus Asmoth]

"Is it really a big deal if the Bulls are trying to expand their territory again? They've done it before, and they always get beaten back down. They're just too dumb to learn their lesson."

[GiglameshDespair]

"Hmmph. Yeah, we had moods¹ with his crew sometimes. Just the normal stuff, right? Territory, who could sell shit on what streets, who disrespected who. Not like we ever needed a reason to fight. We normally messed them up and sent 'em back choking.

For all I know, the fat bugger just found a new whore he likes in a different part of town."

They would find someone looking back at them....untrustingly before deciding to shrug and turning to the others.
"Give the blind swordswomen a chance sound like something outta a legend or fairytale and I for one want to see what she can do."

Chalco snorted.

"Trustin' in stories ends up with your throat cut... if you're lucky. Girl like you?" He smiled without mirth. "Probably gonna be worse."

"How about we worry about who can do the job once we start doing the job?"

"I'm sure we can trust her to spot trouble, huh."

^{1 Stab slang: gang wars or fights.}

[Sirus]

"Is it really a big deal if the Bulls are trying to expand their territory again? They've done it before, and they always get beaten back down. They're just too dumb to learn their lesson."

Relieved that most people seemed to be focusing more on the briefing, Violet listened carefully.

: "But surely they'll be causing all sorts of trouble while they're trying to expand, correct? We can't let any innocent people that get caught up in the mess, and that means putting a stop to it quickly."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I'm sure we can trust her to spot trouble, huh."

"And if we need an optimist we have you, so we've got all our bases covered."

[GiglameshDespair]

"Optimism doesn't get you anythin' you'd want to get, in this town."

[Swordstar]

"If it wasn't obvious given the patch, I'm blind in one eye. So I have no problem with her. She'll fight and prove her worth or she'll die and prove it was a mistake to accept her. Either way, we've got bigger things to focus on."


And apparently those bigger things were a murder investigation. Scum of the earth showing already. Good. This was why he was here. To see the evil in the world. Better to start out diving in headfirst.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Chalco snorted.

"Trustin' in stories ends up with your throat cut... if you're lucky. Girl like you?" He smiled without mirth. "Probably gonna be worse."

This actually causes her to glare at you as she seems to finger a weapon at her side for a few moments before she gives a dry smile and in a scathing tone.
"And being such a prick like you wont yield a bloody death unloved and unnoticed by your allies surrounding you?"

[Deus Asmoth]

: "But surely they'll be causing all sorts of trouble while they're trying to expand, correct? We can't let any innocent people that get caught up in the mess, and that means putting a stop to it quickly."

"Oh yeah, they always cause trouble. The only ones that get caught up in it are normally the Stabs though. The rest of the people in the slums know know how to stay out of the way, and I can't remember the last time the Guard interfered until after the fighting was done."

[Solymr]

: That's the thing, West district isn't that close to their territory, and the Bulls tend to leave a trail of wanton destruction when they fight. We don't even know who got killed. This feels... different.

Angstrom got his papers in order.

: You'll be going there to investigate what happened and to find out who is the victim. Get to know each other, pick up your weapons at the armory and come to my office so I can give you the directions.

The lieutenant left the room, leaving behind Little Devil's portrait for the group.
