[The voice that rings through on the communicator is authoritative, though Dani's anger shakes her voice and makes her sound less like a powerful figure from home and more like a really pissed off college student.]
The monster that's been causing problems in the Port has been destroyed. Its owner was someone in a black leather coat who was able to walk around in the Darkness with almost no trouble at all. If you see someone like that, I suggest you avoid them at all costs.
This isn't the last piece of trouble we'll have from this, I'm certain. If you go out in the Darkness, be careful. I'd suggest avoiding it altogether but if you want to go, then that's your choice.
And if you see the bastard, tell him he better hide himself a little better next time.
[As if she wasn't the one who got her ass kicked. And CLICK, there she goes.]
[ooc: part of the backlash follow up, the Heartless monster is officially dead, though there are some still around!]

I will be making efforts to check for it over the course of the next few days. You said this is called a "Heartless"?
[Voice]
Having encountered the beast myself, I know that must have been a hard-fought victory. [Then, a sigh of definite relief.] Thank you for sharing this news.
Indeed. Such is the term used on my world for the entities born from the darkness in people's hearts - the sum of their negativity, if you will, and they do not possess hearts of their own.
Most are considerably smaller, but no less dangerous in their own fashion.
[Voice | Private]
[Dumb question, she supposes. If he was, wouldn't he have gotten help by now? She keeps quiet a moment so she can listen before she speaks again.]
I'm just glad I was able to stop it before more people were hurt. If you don't mind, I'd like to know anything you know about these Heartless. Anything that can be done to stop them.
[Voice | Private]
My wounds are mostly healed, though a full recovery will take time.
[Not...that this has stopped him joining patrols for the remaining Heartless. He is 'healed enough' to resume duties, in his book.
stop setting a bad example, MasterDad]Something that size was likely made - probably by the individual you saw. [Intense frown, before head shakes.] I would be happy to answer your questions. However, I would first ask how it was you took down the Heartless - ordinary weapons would have been useless against it.
[Voice | Private]
[She frowns.]
Do you need any healing still? I'm not bad at it if you don't mind Light.
[Wow, Dani, don't offer things to people you barely know.]
I use the Light as a weapon. It's...something I've had since back home. It's not as strong in the Darkness here but it's workable. It took a while to take that monster down, though.
[Voice | Private]
As for what it was after? Hearts, most likely. Amongst other things. Heartless are a threat to all things that live within the Realm of Light.
[There's a pause at her question. ..Does he mind Light? He keeps himself from chuckling, given the seriousness of the conversation, but he is a touch amused by that.]
Thank you. But while yours is a generous offer and I am certainly not averse to Light magics, I must decline. I should be fine within the next few days - what healing remains is best left to time itself. It is not wise to force the body to heal through excessive use of magic or healing.
[And he totally wasn't abusing Curaga this week anyway, in spite of what he just said. Nope.]
Light both attracts and repels the Darkness. The brighter the light within a heart, the more likely it would be to seek it out. The Heartless cannot bear it, and would destroy it if they could - if you are as strong in that element as you say, it is likely for that reason you were attacked.
That you brought it down speaks of your skill.
[Voice | Private]
[Says the girl who's carrying around the embodiment of Light in her.]
If you say so.
[Watching you, Eraqus.]
There was nothing skillful about it. It killed all four of my compatriots. [And though they were Angelus warriors and can easily be brought back, it just proves how strong it was and how she nearly could have lost her own life.] I just don't want it to come back. Any version of it, either.
[Voice | Private]
[Ah. Not an uncommon source of confusion.] It wanted hearts. At least, as my world knows them. From what I understand, they would be equivalent to what most worlds would consider a 'soul'. The brighter the light within a heart, the more likely the Heartless are to seek it out, take for their own, as they possess none.
The Heartless are a physical manifestation of Darkness, a force that knows only destruction.
[Spoken flatly at the end there. Bias showing much, old boy?
Then, a pause, before genuine sympathy:] I am sorry for their loss. [Even if you CAN just replace them with new models. :|]
[Voice | Private]
[Not enough to go by. She's frustrated that the encounter ended to abysmally, but after she'd been smacked around so much by that monster, what else could she have done?]
...Huh. I guess that explains why it was eager to latch onto me. It hated anything bright I threw at it.
[She shakes her head despite him being incapable of seeing it with the way the NV is at the moment.]
It's all right. They've been returned to the Light. They fought well and I'm proud of them.
[Voice | Private]
Indeed. Light has ever been Heartless' bane. I suspect you would find the lesser ones around the city particularly taxing, but they move in greater number to make up for their lack of size and strength - though they are far stronger than an ordinary citizen here.
Where a greater host gather, perhaps it will be more likely the one you seek may appear.
[He's concerned by the numbers in the Port as it is, though little of that carries in his voice. ..But they will be dealt with in due time.]
[She can't see it, but his head dips slightly in acknowledgement - her meaning isn't what he takes it to be, but as world differences go, it can't be too dissimilar..?] May the Light hold their Hearts safe.
