[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!]

There were those in history who could do such a thing. And those from after my time, from the accounts of others from where I was from. Some were here before, and I have no doubt there are those still here that can manipulate them. Did the man you encountered say anything to you?

[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. :|]

No. He just kept hidden behind his coat.

[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.

Hnn. [Unimpressed, but certainly not surprised by that news.]

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.
