《The most human elf in Shaylet - Paused until further notice》Ouch
Advertisement
After the interrogation of the elven suspect Captain Lucy Faegrens made arrangements for an assault on the warehouse. She had her report filled out and was heading back up the stairs towards the requisitions office, like she has hundreds of times before. Almost all of the guards in the undead district reported to her, so anything they would need she would have to bring their request to requisitions and there was alot they would need. The undead district was pretty tame, however that didnt stop criminals from other districts trying to smuggle things in through there. With the constant activity from the undead it was almost impossible to differenciate between shipments from there. One of the guards even came into contact with one of the most popular drugs here without knowing. It was a waxy substance called 'twis' which was extremely addictive and extremely flammable. The guard almost set his foot on fire hours after stepping on what he thought was a fruit that fell from a passing cart.
The guard in question was of course investigated but he was cleared of suspicion for lack of evidence and the abscence of any behavior and markings that were the telltale signs of twis use. The use of the drug would leave thin burn lines on your mouth and throat that were pretty easy to hide but were very itchy but scratching made them buldge out of your skin.
Lucy had entered the office and handed her signed forms to the officer in charge who took them, gave them a quick look and then filed them away. He then made a few calls through a metal pipe system built into the walls that carried his voice down to the main office. She then left and made her way down to the main office to report to her boss before leaving. The main office was where all the actual work happened in the building, Lucy herself had an office here even though she was mostly out on the streets working with her subordinates. She was never one for deskwork and enjoyed being outside making sure everything went smoothly within her jurisdiction. She had to dodge three carts loaded with papers and coffee being pushed around by secretaries rushing from desk to desk. This place was a battlefield complete with papers flying around and people yelling over each other. This office was responsible for managing the security of the entire city. Each district has its own central guard building that organizes the local guards, this building happened to be the main one that controls all of the other guard buildings.

Lucy had been here for about four years and she has almost never left the undead district since she got here. She loved everything about this part of the city. She loved how the shops over here never closed and the craftsmenship was amazing. The undead havent really been here all that long, people were uncomfortable with them at first but they quickly warmed up to them as they were rediculously hard workers. When they first arrived here they started out helping with construction and they were such good workers the construction that was expected to take weeks, they finished in 4 days. The craftsmen over here have been working on perfecting their art non stop, so they have reached rediculous levels and have invented many wondorous things.
Lucy knocked on her bosses office door and waited patiently for an answer, which she didnt have to wait long for.
"Come in!" He yelled over the loud offices and cubicles surrounding his office. She entered and closed the door behind her, dulling the noise from behind her. She stopped right in front of his desk and made her report. Only getting the occasional nod and grunt in response. When she was finished she stated she was mounting an assualt and with his permission she was ready to set out immediately. Her boss was notorious for his haste in dispatching guards for anything above a minor theft. He was a man that honestly beleived you can never have too many guards respond to one problem. So he obviously agreed and sent her on her way with two more teams of guards than she asked for. She was actually pretty happy about this development as it would make it alot easier to subdue the mad guild, especially if they were to take very few prisoners. She was now in the armory with her men getting their weapons ready, there were soo many of them they could barely fit in the building and had to line up to receive their weapons. She thought that given the nature of how the mad guild likes to throw spells and avoid physical conflict a single group of enchanted sheild bearers should suffice, they would use their enchanted sheilds to block the spells while they gain ground and they would be supported by archers and spearmen. This was the standard tactic they used when dealing with groups of wizards and it has worked soo far. It should be fine.

Lamis was bored. She tried to ask about Finch when her sister woke but she wouldnt answer her and kept changing the subject. Lamis heard the others get up but before she could bother them Lari sent her to go pick up some meat for breakfast. Something was up, she knew her sister and Lari was acting really weird this morning. But Lamis was a good girl and did what her sister said. Most of the time. Lari's instructions were to go to a market just outside the lamia district. Something that wouldve taken her a while because of the morning traffic. But there was a little known butchers shop hidden behind a small lab on the corner that Lamis liked to go to. She first wandered in there by accident and the owner gave her a small piece of jerky for visiting. Now she visits all the time because that was the best jerky she has ever had. Sometimes she will go there and the old lamia that runs the shop will cook some of the meat for her to try. Lamis has gone there many times since then, she has bought meat from there instead of the market her sister goes to. Its closer and the meat tastes better, its also built on the back of the lab across the street from our building. Sometimes the owner comes out with some more tasty meat, Lamis wonders if she is using the lab as storage for her meats. But whatever, she was here for breakfast not questions.

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’
