To the residents of Fayren. In today's newspaper there was a story covering a declaration of war against the mages of Fayren. Rest assured that Guardian Satori and myself are aware of the situation and are currently investigating the matter to the fullest extent of our power and resources. Any information leading to the discovery and arrest of any member of "The Hands of Decay" should be directed toward the office of the Guardian. Should the information prove useful in the apprehension of these criminals, a reward can be expected.

Until such time as this organization has been brought to justice, however, I advise caution. Those with magical powers should not be alone in a public place, nor should you trust any charms, spells, or any assistance from those you do not trust with your life. It is possible that despite the alleged war on mages, that these criminals are capable of using magic themselves.

The situation is in hand, and this organization will be brought to justice swiftly. In the meantime, though caution is called for, please go about your lives as normally as possible. To show fear is to give these bullies what they want. Together, we will triumph.

Humans never change, do they?

{ Zeref was curious if that toxin would work on him, given the nature of the Curse of Contradictions. Of course, even if it did, it would be worthless, given the impermanence of death in this world.

No... it was best not to even think about the possibility. }

I am loathe to involve myself in such things, but if need be, I will dispatch Sayla. Etherious use Curse Power, rather than magic. The poison will not work on her, if they even manage to get a single shot off.

[Alice appears on the screen following Mewtwo's address. Behind her was her own army of magical dolls, armed with spears and bows.]

"I offer you and Satori myself and my Legion to finding and ending this organization."

[koishi_komeiji]

"Purple Thing?" OH GOD! When did Koishi get there? She looked determined, but relaxed. "You know I want to help too, okay? I'm going with you and we'll stop them, okay?"

The little youkai would not take no for an answer.

[Mewtwo nods.]

Yes, there will always be those that seek to control, but... to damn them all for the actions of a few is not a constructive view.

I appreciate the help, however, given the unknown nature of the poison, it may be wise to have this Sayla carry a Pecha Berry with her. It is a berry from my world that can counteract all forms of poison when ingested, and is a highly popular strategy for Trainers to keep many on hand.

[ And a purple youkai magician appears. Patchouli appears... annoyed, really. She's the type to refuse to be cowed. ]

I will render assistance, if needed.

[He arches an eyebrow at the talk of a legion, though the eyebrow hikes a bit more as he surveys the army of dolls. Considering the nature of the Banette line of Pokemon, and his natural weakness to Ghosts... he's a tad unsettled, though he doesn't say anything for the moment.]

We are happy to have any and all help on this matter. The faster we identify and shut down this threat, the better.

[psychic_supremecy]

[Mewtwo had actually gotten rather used to Koishi's appearing act, and had expected her to show up as soon as he made the announcement.]

Actually, I was hoping you would accompany Charizard on patrols. You are far more perceptive of motives than he is, and I feel the two of you could compliment each other well.

[Video]

[psychic_supremecy]

Good, any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated. There was another that expressed similar interest. If you would not mind, I would suggest that the two of you patrol Fayren at night. I do not wish to send any out alone, and eyes are in short supply at the moment.

[koishi_komeiji]

"Yes! I can tell when someone is lying and when they have bad intentions!" She was quite sure of herself. "I bet we'll stop them good! But we should still get all the help we can. It's important."

[Video]

[superficially_busy]

[Luckily, her dolls are more likely to explode or shoot colorful bullets than haunt anyone.]

"Naturally, the Fayren Guardianship has the lead. So all I need to know is where you want me to investigate."

[azaleafae]

I want to help as well. I've been living with Satori and Koishi since I arrived here, so I want to do what I can for them. I can't say whether a dragon's scales would repel their needles, but I can patrol from the skies and stay out of sight.

These "Hands of Decay" not only insult magic, but the elements themselves, and we take those matters seriously.

[deathsought]

I have seen it far too many times to believe that it is a 'few.' It has been a constant throughout human history, and I have borne witness to it for generations.

{ A... Pecha Berry? ... okay then. }

I will keep that in mind.

[psychic_supremecy]

You're correct, at any given time there are thousands if not millions of people with with self-serving or destructive intentions. However, that does not account for the billions that do not fall into that category.

I once thought them beyond hope as well, but I was shown to be wrong. No matter how great the darkness, there is always a light. No matter how small or ow faint. I have come to believe that none have the right to snuff that light out.

[Video]

[psychic_supremecy]

[He nods, casting one last wary glance at the dolls before proceeding.]

There was another who offered her services in the investigation. I would like you to accompany her on patrols. Even with your dolls, I am not willing to send anyone out alone at this juncture.

[psychic_supremecy]

Indeed. Your sister and I will likely be the only ones patrolling alone, as our psychic abilities grant us some measure of forewarning when under attack. So far, two volunteers have come forward and I have set them up to patrol together as well.

Still, I would much rather have more working on this...

[He makes a motion, calling Charizard over.]

Now Koishi, I know you have spent some time with Charizard, but remember... he is like family to me.

[He turns his attention to Charizard, placing a finger on the fire-type's snout.]

Watch each other's backs, alright?

[psychic_supremecy]

I would gladly welcome your assistance. I may ask you to accompany Satori on her patrols.

"That's fine. Who is she and where can I meet up with her?"

[She doubts her partner is Marisa. She would never offer, just go right out and get involved.]

[ video ]

[deathsought]

Every time I believe that I see such a light, the next generation commits the same mistakes as the past. Immortality has given me the unique perspective to see how obstinate human nature truly is. It is disheartening.

[video]

[stardustreverie]

Huh...That sounds like people gettin' in over their heads about somethin' they don't want ta even work for.

[Because guess who has struggled and fought for every bit of magical power in her body?]

If ya would like help, I'd be more then happy ta what what is needed. I'd be out there searchin' anyways so why not do it a bit more officially?

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi pouted a little bit, reaching back and taking a pokeball off of her belt and sending out Gallade. "You shouldn't go alone. I bet Gallade would be a big help. Won't you?"

The pokemon gave a small, but pleased huff, and responded with a simple "yes" before moving quickly to Mewtwo's side. "Also, be sure Sis takes Haunter with her too. She has Typhlosion but I want to make sure she's safe. I'm much stronger than her." Koishi neglected to mention she fought better alone as she didn't have to worry about hitting her allies.

The little satori did move to Charizard's side after a moment, floating up to pet its head. "I'll take good care of Charizard though, okay?"

[aceparagon]

[ That didn't sound good at all, especially since a great deal of Hikaru's abilities were derived from magic. However, she knew quite well that there was power in numbers. ]

I'd be willing to offer my aid however possible. I have both offensive and defensive capabilities if you'd like to put me with someone who would match or complement my skills.

My name's Hikaru Takeda. Nice to meet you.

[Wanda's not the warmest person to begin with, but this threat has her in a particularly foul mood. She does her best to be polite and helpful, but she can't keep a scowl off her face.] People lashing out at those with abilities that they fear, regardless of how or even whether those abilities are used. This is the same fight I've been in since I was a little girl.

I'll be glad to fight if I'm needed. But I can also offer my experience with these kinds of groups, if you want it.

Immortality has given many beings in my world a very flawed perception of the world around it. They are worshiped as gods and some have come to see themselves as gods. Immortality skews the facts over time.

[Video]

[psychic_supremecy]

She has not yet offered her name, however once introductions are made I will relay the information to you.

[psychic_supremecy]

[He shakes his head.]

No, I will be going alone. Azalea will likely be accompanying your sister now that she has been made aware of the situation. If any should be going alone, it would be me. My powers are not magical in nature and thus I will not be considered the same kind of target as you or any of the other volunteers. This will also allow me greater mobility.

You, however, will be putting yourself at greater risk, which is why Charizard will be accompanying you, as well as all your Pokemon. This is not open for discussion, Koishi.
