[h2]Sato and Sato[/h2]

Fortunately, with everyone situated in the car--and more importantly, belted in--it was a pretty easy drive, although the quiet bickering between the two in the front seat about whether it was appropriate to turn on the stereo for such a short journey and around new hires could be distracting. An argument that Lily thoroughly lost, with her partner arguing that the [i]demon's[/i] taste in music was not something to unexpectedly subject new people to without warning. Also, it was [i]her[/i] car, and they were nearly there anyway, so that was that.

"Will do," the woman confirmed, raching over to the glove compartment and sliding a thin laptop out, driver's door propped open. "Lily, you make sure the crowd stays calm. Nakanishi, Nyoko... honestly, try not to invite yourself next time, but you know what to do; keep the grudges away from civilians."

On cue, the demon hopped out, producing a colourful handkerchief from her pocket and waving it over her head with a cheery "Yo ho~ Civilians this way~" It didn't seem like the sort of action that would have much impact, but they [i]were[/i] dealing with a succubus here--even dilute and spread out as it was, her ability to charm others was [i]just[/i] the sort of distraction you needed to keep people from outright panicking... well, so long as nobody gave her a power boost to turn it into a cause for one instead.

"New hires... well, I don't know what you can do," their driver admitted with a shrug. "Priority is to keep people safe first, then exterminate the Grudges. Don't get tunnel-visioned into killing them before we know if we missed someone."
