The night falls and the guards still haven't found you. Lucky! Try to keep it that way.

The people who went to the city should be back soon and then you can hit the road in the morning. That's the plan, right?

[ mission: keep quiet. ]

I'm Jessica. Hi.

[ doesn't even notice neri approaching. ]

[monkeycrap]

[ well hello there. smiles at her. ]

Thank you. We are doing everything we can to stop this bloody nonsense. It's been going on too long.

[armedarchaeologist]

[hooboy.]

[noshoes]

[ tilts head in the background. who's this? ]

[bloodrops]

[ all blinks and giggles. sry not sry. ]

Yeah, that's terribly noble.

Do you need help with anything?

[monkeycrap]

[ spots neri and waves at her. ]

[armedarchaeologist]

Neri—!

[goes neriwards, relatively smiley.]

Neri, this is Jakky. He saved the monkey.

[and therefore gets to keep it, so let's let it go now.]

[monkeycrap]

Well, next I need to take this buddy somewhere safe. Preferably far away from here.

[ pets monkey. that's your new friend? ]

Hi Neri.

[noshoes]

[ she knows this one tho. smiles, glad to see him alive, and waves back ]

[monkeycrap]

[ he'll miss ur sweet mermaid touch. ]

[noshoes]

[ walks over to them now that she knows its okay and nods at jakky, smiling at the monkey ]

He is safe, with you?

[monkeycrap]

Yes. I promise.

[ can tell this girl was good with the monkey by the way the shit is behaving himself. ]

I won't let him get hurt. Soon he'll be reunited with his family too. Last Bukan we managed to save his mother.

[armedarchaeologist]

So they don't actually get to perform this ritual all that often, is what I'm hearing.

Which is not a bad thing.

[monkeycrap]

[ nods. ]

And if we are victorious next Bukan there will be soon no monkeys left to sacrifice. Wish us luck, yeah?

[ since they all have to be from the same family line. ]

[armedarchaeologist]

Good luck.

[i don't see why not.]

[bloodrops]

You can do it, I'm sure of it!

[noshoes]

[ this makes her very happy. she smiles at him and nods, giving him a little hug and everything ]

Thank you.

[armedarchaeologist]

[aw.]

[monkeycrap]

[ haha that's cute. ]

No, thank you. You helped us more than you probably realize.

[ looks around. he's running out of time. ]

But now I must go, I have places to be tonight. If you run into the guards again, tell them I have işlemek sokmak now and they'll soon forget about you.

[armedarchaeologist]

Wouldn't it be better to just say we didn't see anything? Or— I guess you must be pretty good at evading them.

[monkeycrap]

Say what you like, I can handle them.

My only worry is that it will be difficult to know where they are when it's so dark.

[ wraps the monkey in his cape. bye neri. ]

But now I must go.

[bloodrops]

[ takes a step forward. ]

No, wait!

I think I can help you with that.

[monkeycrap]

[ looks at her slowly. ]

You can?

[ wouldn't want to risk anyone's lives over this. ]

[bloodrops]

I'm much stronger than I look.

[ standing next to daniel, picks him up by the back of his shirt and holds him in the air by one hand. ]
