hooo joy. So you've got murder voices, well congrats, you now have new sensible-

Well...We're probably crazy, but we aren't as murderous, at least.
Who are you, and what's up?

Honestly, can you even comprehend how many lives we have ended in the greater scheme of things?
How many universes have fallen to our words?
I can't either, so I'd say you should probably explain what that banner is you've got there.

Ah! You listened?! This isn't some trick, is it?

>>Who are you, and what's up?
That's something you haven't asked before! Er, my name's Grand, thanks for asking! Not much is up now, just sort of hanging around, I guess.

...Wow. That might be the most I've said in a while. Doesn't count because it's still in my head, I guess, but still. What does that say about me, the best conversation of the week was answering one question from some murder whispers....

>>We're not the murder whispers.

I'm pretty sure you're the same voices, but what the hell...I won't argue who you are if you won't be screaming for blood for a bit.

Oh, this? The tower's our headquarters for our patrols, we made it ourselves. My friends and I are on a "peacekeeping mission," "occupying" this Dale province for some baron somewhere...all we really do is take walks around the countryside though, there's no peacekeeping to be done. The only thing these little guys seem to do is lay in their hovels and smoke.

Not really, no.... If the stories are to be believed, the murder whispers are a sickness that come straight from a Remorse, so I can only imagine....

It's the standard of the division we came from. The 52nd Conscripts Combatant, best draftees in the army, I'd say.

Or just give it out for free.
>the murder whispers are a sickness that come straight from a Remorse, so I can only imagine...
Yeah, but, see, the Remorse we come from isn't a Remorse--he's a Redeemed. Basically, with Nix and Spuns quitting their jobs, this guy said "Eh, fuck it, I'll take their place."
>"Hey, Turtle!"
...So, he's still alive, is he? Or perhaps this is a descendant of his. Say "Survivors of the Red Sea say Hi."

It's true! The 52nd is the best out of the conscript combatants, as disciplined as any volunteer group. We're good fighters, and good friends.

River. At least then you'll have a vague chance of something happening.

You are choosing river patrol, all the cool stuff happens near rivers everyone knows that!

Not always, I just have some trouble getting things out some of the time. A lot of the time....

>"Cleanse me! Turts I love you to death and you're great company, but this is the most boring patrol duty in the whole damned outfit. How about the two of us slip back into the village and visit my girl and her friends? Maybe if you play your cards right, you could get some company too~"

I dunno...but this really is the most boring job around here....

Pray to the river sprits for entrainment, and any second now something will happen. But to pass the time you could skip stones or whistle.

>How about the two of us slip back into the village and visit my girl and her friends? Maybe if you play your cards right, you could get some company too~"
Hey, is his girl Dale? Because they really are promiscuous, man.

>>605573
Visit the village while someone else is patrolling it? Good way to get caught.

"No."

Shake your head no.
If you can't use your mouth, use something else if you can, like hand signals!

Look over the enemy for weak points, then when an opening appears throw a rock at them.

"We don't have anything of value, and also you are attacking a guard patrol. You fucked up son."

Everything you have? Well, you heard the men. Give them the weapons by stabbing them with them.

Are they already covered in blood?

Did they kill someone else or are they just injured?

"Murder voice" survivors of the Red Sea, here, but sure, we're in a rush.

I assume that these two are connected, since most weapons in a Dale province would be with the humans. Kind of woke up after a long sleep.
Oh Nix, I know we were the children of a Remorse before but did that status grow?
>we need to get the Dales out of here.
Do you recognize the banners, Alfonse? If not, just scream out "The banners are coming!" and hope that does the trick. If you do recognize them, scream out something that sounds memorable.
...You aren't the sort who cries wolf, are you? Because if you have pulled pranks like this, then it won't work as well.
