Hey.

Guess the time has come to be a little more obvious about this. Something strange just showed up. They're colorful monsters that are running all over the place. I haven't seen these ones before, but I know they're familiar. Thing is, familiar is bad. These things can hurt you. I'm not sure of what all they're capable of, but if you see anything, bright, colorful, and monstrous running around ... go in the opposite direction.

And—I was gonna try avoiding this, but here's a proper introduction. My name is Riku. Where I come from, and probably where other people come from, even if they just don't know it yet, some people have the power to wield keyblades. These keyblades are a sign of a strong heart. Recently, I ... well, I got named keyblade master. So while we're all stuck here together, I guess I'm in charge of looking after you all.

That—uh, that isn't to say you guys can't do it, too. I've seen people fight from all different types of places. And my best friend ... he's seen even more. But I can't slack on the job.

Anyway, if you have questions about these things, go ahead. I'm about to go personally check them out myself.

And Lea? It's time to see what you can do.

Yes.

I'm Akemi Homura. I kill witches.

Even if these are your job, we'll help.

Did you meet my mother?
trytryagain: (calculating skeptical)

LOL

No.

They aren't what most people think of as witches.
alwaysimpure: (let me think)

Certain places and times.

Normal rules don't apply here. Everything fits the island's patterns.

The same might be true for your monsters, too.

Our monsters follow us here.

Then we'll test our methods.

They're based in negative emotions. They come from them, or they feed on them, and they have supernatural powers. They can affect people without anyone guessing their source, or they can attack directly.

They're difficult to kill.

Witches create extradimensional labyrinths whose boundaries slowly expand. Generally, only those such as myself can cross the barrier without assistance. Here, others are capable as well. They spread fear, despair, anxiety, suspicion and hate. They cause natural disasters, major accidents, and arson or mass suicides. Those under a witch's influence are marked. I am one of two on the island who can see such marks. Witches reproduce by generating familiars to assist them. Familiars may be numerous, but weak. Witches themselves are incredibly dangerous.

The first time you encounter one, do not engage it alone.

The normal witch reproduction cycle is irrelevant here. They appear spontaneously. Discarding two outlier occasions, their rate of appearance is just under 2.5 per month. Roughly one every two weeks.

If you kill a witch, when its barrier dissolves, it may leave behind a small spindle-shaped object. This is called a Grief Seed.

Bring Grief Seeds to me for safe disposal.

For Shadows, speak to Seta-san.
