Blazermate was getting tired of the Mandrills everywhere. Without her zombie ball, she had to be a bit more defensive. While others dealt with them, Blazermate could hold her projectile shield up to protect at least one side from their attacks completely. Sectonia meanwhile could focus on the other side, summoning an Antler into their midst to cause some chaos while she rained swords from above and below. Really they weren't the big threat that showed up as the group made their journey through this menagerie of horrible experiments. 

Instead the big threat that surfaced was a giant mean lizard surfacing from the nearby swamp. A foe that got everyone's attention. Being as large as it was, Sectonia had to start by summoning a golden antler to its side as Geralt, Edward, and Fujiwara, engaged with it. She'd start off by putting her Slow upon it to make its size more of a hindrance than a help and would be attacking it from the back as she had no reason to get super close to something that was bigger than her. Maybe when it was nearing death she could get close to scythe it, but for now she'd keep her distance.

Blazermate meanwhile went onto her healing duty as always. Granted as it was a single target there wasn't a whole lot she could do besides summon her engineer striker at mid range for him to start building his sentry, before healing whoever was engaging the creature using a mixture of her healing beam and her divine star projectile. Since she stayed at midrange from the creature, she saw when Geralt had tried something and failed with the creature leaping at him to swallow him whole. Well, Blazermate had something for that, and with a grabbing motion, she pulled Geralt to her with Leap of Faith, the massive jaws biting into nothing. 

The creature then focused upon the Golden antler attacking its side with its hefty mace spinning to snap at it. As it did so, Blazermate moved to banish the antler, making the snap miss as the antler was held in a dark sphere for a few seconds. Once the effect ended, three golden antlers, two illusions and the real one, now began to beat the creature's head for a few moments until it recollected itself and spun around to whip them with its colossal tail, taking out the illusions and making the antler's shield fly out of it hands. 

Blazermate did wonder how tough this creature was though. It wasn't a guardian or anything, and while it was large it was being attacked from all sides by all manner of attacks and wouldn't last long. Especially if her engineer striker managed to fully upgrade his sentry, being able to upgrade it without any harassment so far thanks to everyone else engaging with the beast and keeping it busy.

Roland wasn't all that happy with his interaction with the organization member, but he did confirm a few things. Roxas was right, they were stubborn and annoying to get any clear answers out of, but that didn't mean he couldn't get anything even from someone stonewalling like this Xilgrev did. Although knowing who this man was before the whole change into a 'nobody' thing, if that is what happened and these people not just taking the name of a cabal Roxas knew. Well, he did mention that organization names were their previous name jumbled with an X in it. Ah, if only his co workers at the library were here, they could figure out this anagram instantly. There was an infinite amount of names and even if one sounded weird, it could be the actual name for all he knew. 

Harry had taken to Roland's story thinking things were bad just off that. While Pit was concerned about it much like Roland thought, there wasn't much to be done. He figured that story was pretty lighthearted all things considered, but apparently even a simple story like that was downright horrific to these people. Were they all raised in an equivalent of a 'nest'? [color=d7d7d7]"Uh, thanks. I wasn't really trying to go for pity with that one though. That was one of my more lighthearted stories. There aren't many I can say over dinner."[/color] he said. Then the question of magic was asked with Zenkichi gave his explanation. Roland then gave his. 

[color=d7d7d7]"It... really depends on what you say is magic. Yes it does, but at the same time it doesn't. We have these things called 'singularities' owned by one of the major corporations of the city, or a wing as we call them. They allow you to break all laws of physics through various methods like K corp able to heal anything including death as long as you got the money and the brain is at least somewhat intact. T corp being able to package and use time in nearly any method. M corp giving out devices that make you completely immune to psionics and psychic attacks, soul attacks, and cognitohazards. J corp able to lock and unlock anything even concepts... yeah. But then we also have Distortions which are really complicated but people who distort can sometimes use magic. There was a guy named Pluto who could do anything to someone if they broke one of his contracts and who had access to all sorts of weird energy attacks that used runes. They were really hard to deflect."[/color] Roland went on. He stopped there, but the way he did made everyone feel like there was a lot more he could say if prompted. 

As Zenkichi thanked Terry for the restaurant location they had all partaken in, Roland agreed. [color=d7d7d7]"Always good to get a tour from a local about the local places."[/color] Granted, this went out the window when you were in district 23, but district 23 this town was not. Soon plans were figured out on what they'd do. While Sakura had an idea, Roland decided to go with Band and Zenkichi instead. [color=d7d7d7]"While I might not be a 'cop' like these two, what they are looking to do sounds right up my alley."[/color] Fixer work from the outside could be seen as cop work, but it was much, much more than that. It was anything from rescuing cats from trees to security to making contracts to breaking up terrors of the city... just as long as you got paid for the job. And his specialty was intelligence gathering. 

[color=d7d7d7]"I've already gained a bit of intel about this city already. I can reshare what I know so we can get an idea of where to look next."[/color] Roland said, moving with the two to investigate the city.
