[Saleh has kept his routine of wandering and patrolling the forest. However, recently, he began to notice something strange. It wasn't unusual to see the occasional dead animal here and there, but suddenly finding more with no clearly visible wounds was strange to the sage. He didn't think much of them at first...until he spotted more and more of them, especially as he came closer to the lake.]

[What is happening to these creatures? Saleh can't quite wrap his head around this, but the village ought to be warned. His voice is filled with uncertainty, knowing that something is out there...but he has no idea what.]

There is something out here in the woods, affecting the wildlife. I'm encountering an increasing number of dead creatures. Their bodies seem intact, though their faces are pale. All of a sudden, the forest feels so...lifeless. Should anyone come out here, be on guard.

That goes for you, too, you know. I don't think you should be investigating that alone.

Of course...I don't plan on investigating it. [Though perhaps he should.] I just happened to come across this...

Moro's still out there, isn't she? I wouldn't want to be anywhere nearby, when she finds out.

Moro? I haven't seen her in some time.

[He does find it odd that he hasn't run into her more often, as often as he's out here.]

But you're right...perhaps I should head back now.

[This whole thing is scaring him more than he'd like to admit.]

I'll keep wary, although I wouldn't mind the challenge if there's some strong predator out there.

[Oh Kain, you and your challenges.]

All right...I'll have to keep an eye out myself. Right now, I can't even tell if it's a predator or something else entirely.

I suppose it would be difficult to tell, without seeing it... but if it does prove to be a true threat I'll offer assistance.

Thank you.

[Speaking of assistance...]

Actually...may I ask you something?

Something is killing animals in the forest, is that what you're saying?

Something is. I can't tell what it is, however...

If it's not a normal occurence, then I would think it's more someone than something.

Perhaps. I don't believe I should investigate it now...or alone at all.

[The simplest solution is the one to begin with, isn't it?]

Could it be other animals?

Other animals? It's a possibility, I suppose...but I don't know of any animal that can kill their prey so...cleanly.

It's strange if there's more than usual, but it may just be a new arrival, who enjoys hunting. [It's a rational thought, but it sounds lame even to her: A hunter wouldn't leave them like that, would they?]

It is likely a new arrival, considering this is only beginning to happen. Or perhaps a new experiment from the Malnosso.

I've seen them too, the animals. What would do such a thing?

I can't say. The only thing even remotely similar to this was during an experiment revolving around a holiday called "Halloween." Though I don't think that now is the time for that holiday...

Ha-lo-ween?

I'd heard there was a lot less in the forest to hunt this winter too. Would that be related you think?

[Fujiko actually sounds scared about it.]

Related? There are too many unknowns to say for certain...

Well if their faces are pale, they could be drained of blood right?

That sounds like something that should be investigated. Our community is too small to risk it just being another animal.

Indeed. How would you go about the investigation?

We'd need people with combat ability. I don't want anyone who can't defend themselves getting hurt if the cause is something that's a threat. Hopefully we get enough people to have teams of two - no going alone - and try to track using the locations of the animals' bodies as starting points.
