*takes it*
Hmm.. alright. New plan. We blow up the sewers.
Sounds easy enough.
Given that there's likely methane and whatnot down there.

Shinji: please do.
*hands you the map*
*Marks them, then hands it back.*
<Snipped quote by Stabby>
*It seems limited to three buildings directly tied to the sewer system, and a large hole in the ground beside them*
*Returns to base.*
It looks like they're coming from the sewer system and a few buildings. I can mark the spots on the map.
<Snipped quote by Stabby>
*The creatures seem to be coming from undercround a mile away,from the sewer system*
*Looks around the city for other such activity points.*
<Snipped quote by Stabby>
Shinji;
I.... Im not sure. Could you scout around, figureo ut where they're coming from?
Sure.
*Takes to the skys and trys to identify any specific paths that the bugs are using.*
<Snipped quote by Stabby>
Shinji:
That's most likely where they are nesting. That or one of these nearby buildings. We need to get to safety.
Bugger. Where do you think could be safe?

. . .
With the pop up of the system notice, Nira got up and stretched a little, trying her best to get used to the sensation of extra mp. She wasn't exactly comfortable with the sensation, but she could deal with it much better in this life than her last. With the meditation skill finally developed alongside mana orb though, Nira felt ready to test out a few things. Reaching for the sensation of her mana again, she tried her best to memorize how it flowed within her arms and her wings.
From there, Nira tried to reconstruct those paths externally, focusing on visualizing a phantom arm for her first attempts. Every time she lost focus, she would regather what mana she could and start over from scratch. Mediating as needed, she felt annoyed when the system eventually interupted her with a reminder that she could use some water. Though she was much inclined to ignore it and keep going, Nira knew that if it wasn't the system reminding her, it would be the echo voice instead.
Deciding to get it out of the way with a sigh, she was about to activate muffle and fly off to the closest water source when an idea hit her. Couldn't she just work on a water magic skill and use that to get something to drink? It would be a lot safer than risking a quick water run.
Sitting down to focus again, Nira thought through all of the spells she'd seen used in games and decided to attempt water orb. So long as she didn't launch it into a container, she should be able to summon it and then drink it without it splashing everywhere. At least she hoped. That mana orb skill had been pretty willing to zip off once she completed it, so she could only hope water orbs didn't do the same.
Using her mana again, Nira focused on the idea of an orb of water floating in the air. She even started imagining how it would drop onto a leaf or into a cup with a splash, and didn't notice the monstrous deer in the moment because of it. Checking to see if anything happened, she would try a few more times before her mp ran out. Once that happened, she would finally try interacting with the system to chevk over her skills and to see if she'd made any progress in her goal.
"Um... System, bring up skill list?"

Shinji: uh... honestly, I don't know. We wait until they go away, I guess? They cant safely climb up, and they cant fly.
Are there any underground connections we could use for travel, or do you think they'll be there too?

"Even without the specification, I would have understood the sentiment. I'm thinking of evolving right before I fall asleep or something, since sleeping is a vulnerable state anyways. Might as well kill two birds with one stone."
Listening to the rest of what Femus said about the system, Nira internally banged her head against a wall as she learned that she could have been interacting with the system all the sooner if she had considered talking to it either verbally or mentally. She had played tons of games in her previous life, and yet not once had she actually considered this idea until now. She let out a frustrated groan as the obviousness of it sank in.
"Of course it would be the one obvious thing I hadn't tried."
With a sigh, Nira listened to Femus's mention of the dress with a bit of surprise. That had been pretty fast. "Oh, thanks." Wandering over in the direction he motioned while he ate, Nira put it on and gave it a quick spin. It wasn't exactly good, but the dress was more interesting than the hospital gown she had been so used to wearing, and it was certainly better than moving around naked. Apparently Femus thought about the same about his creation, saying that he might be able to make something better with more practice.
With his following request, Nira wondered what skill he was using on the leaves of the dress as she did her best to stay still until he was done. Moving about and testing it a bit, she could feel it was somewhat stiffer, but with how little it would likely impact her wings, she didn't mind it. "It works. Definitely more interesting than the gown I used to wear. But with the likelyhood of me evolving soon, I'm not sure if it will still fit me after I go through the process."
Seeing that Femus was already getting himself involved in his own project, Nira decided to work on one of her own. Moving to another tree branch, she did her best to return to her previous attempts at meditation. The skill had only been 3 points away from shifting to the next decimal place, so a little extra effort would likely complete it. Returning to the state of mind she needed, Nira retraced her steps and tried to increase her mana flow. Once she felt full, she slowed it to just above it's normal pace and focused on gently forcing more mana into the flow of her body, trying her best to create and hold an evenly distributed increase in the amount her mana flow contained. In doing so she tried to feel out all of the smaller flows within her body and gently increase them as well, until she was almost aware of every inch of mana within herself.

*the bundles released, dropping long nexts with wooden stakes all over it. They rip into the bugs, killing them almost instantly*
Shinji: that should buy us some time...
Awesome. What next?
