The Grayi makes you transparent for two hours at a time.
[Arashi, despite being the tallest person in the room, seems discomfited by the kasha's predatory looks, slightly leaning away from the table, whereas Lambrini is unfazed as ever, going so far as to smirk back at the hellcat. When Hijikata first introduced Shoto to her earlier she cooed "Oh my, he's already a big boy, isn't he?". But like the others she pays attention when Shoto explains his arsenal, and her eyes go increasingly wide.]
Wow! Toshirou, your squire is a one-man army!
[Hijikata usually complains when she calls him that - she pestered his given name out of him after finding in his Shinsengumi ID in his uniform jacket's pockets and not being able to read the Japanese letters -, but this time he skips his bitching, because hell if she isn't right. That's his resourceful Shoto!!]
Isn't he? But let's all remember that this is supposed to be an arrest mission, okay? So don't go blowing anyone to smithereens unless it can't be helped!
[Arashi carefully picks up one of Shoto's light shield marbles.]
You made all these items yourself? That is very impressive, Shoto-kun.
[Hijikata, partly in trying to spare Shoto from getting too flustered at the praise, rushes to combine their equipment into a battle plan.]
Honestly, we can use the Grayi - Shoto and I, that is, and maybe Kasha. You two are our air support.
As if air support couldn't also benefit from near-invisibility! Why are you so stingy?
Because I only have four doses of it. Besides how will they see you in this goddamn darkness to begin with? Anyway, this Unseelie group changes locations, but according to the information I received they're currently on the first island in the Land of Maidens. For those who haven't been there, it's a strange place full of massive old trees, ancient-looking statues, and harmless wildlife. They made a hide-out in some old ruins there. If we can sneak up on them we have a decent chance of putting them out of commission one or two at a time, and before they know if they'll all be in handcuffs. I'll have Elphame's guards ready to strike and take them away, of course, but we've got to do the dirty work to prove Camelot's mettle.
Haven't you proved that enough times already, sweetie?
Don't call me that.
[Especially not in front of Arashi and Shoto!! He snorts. This woman is a pain in the ass, but still, she's strong and fast, and in a pinch she can be a lifesaver.]
Our swords are weapons made for killing, so hopefully we can keep them sheathed... but I wouldn't bet on it. Shoto-kun, your light shields will surely come in handy.
I think his poison needles will come in handier.
[Her sharp eyes shimmer as she smiles at Shoto.]
Let's meet at the Yuureisengumi HQ at 10:00 AM tomorrow - not that the time really matters, with things being as they are. We'll use one of my Land-of-Maiden totems to travel there, and the way to the island won't be far - Arashi, Lambrini, you can fly over; the rest of us will take the tunnel. Any questions? Before anyone asks: yes, I'll be bringing rope and anti-magic handcuffs. And flashlights.
I'll organise a net. I think that might serve us well!
