Chris tried not to wince as Chel got kind of mouthy. But he understood wanting to get to the meat of the problem. He lifted his weapon hand, waving the gauntlet around to show that it was firmly in place. "Sorry, she's attached. We won't attack, tho- wait."
He paused, rewinding the conversation for a second. "Did you just say Penumbra?"

Chel put her hand on her chin, squinting at Shun. "Ah! Shun! That makes you ... Mimsy?" she asked the girl. She only recognized Shun by his speech pattern, the other girl was fuzzy.
"Wowwww. You're way more decked out in uh ... pointy things here." Lots of daggers. Noted.
At Shun's request, Tenebrae was gone, much to his disdain. He had begun spouting the probabilities of her attack and capture in her head, but she waved them away. "And Mimsy you're very uh. Different. From how I pictured you. Didn't you have glasses?"

The frost demon side-eyed the reaper as he thought to mention Penumbra. Now that he'd said it... the names Chel and Chris did seem familiar.
Chris' exclamation might have just confirmed her suspicions. Edel stared at the two hunters, appalled. Why were they acquainted with such .... The frost demon stared pointedly at Shun, expecting him to deal with this situation.
Mimsy? The ghoul turned to look at Chel as if she were a little dense. "No." A harmless blast of snow was sent in the hunter's direction. Go figure

A light sneer crossed his expression.
"Mimsy is one of yours," he said lowly before glancing to Chris, "I know you can call them away. Besides, Chel just did the same."
And yes. He did have a lot more pointy stuff on him. He needed to be ready at all costs. To say that he now knew that at least half of that guild was filled with hunters made him fairly unhappy.
"What do the hunters know of the situation at hand?"

"Really. We have a hunter named Mimsy?" Chris looked less than impressed. The s**t people named their kids these days, seriously. He looked to the unnamed member of their party. "Who are you then? Clearly not Robert."
He frowned at Shun and shook his head. "You have how many knives? I'm not calling her away. I'll give you as much trust as you're giving us right now."

With the snow blown at her face, Chel was very taken aback by the sudden change of temperature, but she couldn't say she wasn't pleased by it. "Oh oh um ... shoot what was the username- Frozen something! That's you right? 'Cause she's icy I totally get it now." Chel jabbed Chris with her newfound knowledge.
She then realized Chris was being a total butt. "Dude c'mon. This is Shun. He's cool. You know he's only got all the pointy things out 'cause you got the pointy things out and vice versa."
Chel was very much prepared to cross her arms and pout at the both of them. "First we got snow tits over here and now we have two dudes ready to fight. You guys are ruining this beautiful reunion. I might cry."

Took them long enough to guess. Edel wasn't exactly too pleased about being recognised by hunters, but whatever, they didn't seem too keen on fighting.
The ghoul threw Chel an outraged look of excuse you, before throwing her half melted daggers away and folding her arms.
"Just answer the question," she spoke flatly, trying very much to be as civil as she could.

"Hmph, fair enough," Shun replied to Chris. Granted, most of the knives on his person couldn't be sent away at will, unlike with his reaper blades. There was little point in mentioning that, however.
"Look. The time in wonderland called for a need of allies regardless of faction. Right now I've yet to determine if this situation is the same. Answer the question and maybe we'll be able to figure that out exactly."
He lowered his daggers, but they remained out for the time being.

Chris bared is teeth at ******** in an emotionless smile. There were division heads with more appealing personalities than her.
Shun he could at least level with. "We don't know much more than you. We were woken up, shoved into some gear, and told we were on an important mission and this would be a tight operation. That's all we were given. We're lucky we even had enough time to put on proper clothes."

Chel decided that standing in the middle of the desert talking so seriously was silly enough already, so she decided to sit down. Might as well relax in the nice snow while they were having important adult conversations.
"What Chris said. Happens all the time. You're sleepin' one sec, the next second a muscley dude's tellin' you to haul a** to the lighthouse." Chel was very casual about this whole thing. As far as she was concerned, Deus Ex could suck a d**k.
She leaned back, throwing her hands behind her head. "So what've you guys been up to since the game? You guys ever find out what happened to Robert, Xiu, Uttam, Clara, Delph ...?"

Edel stared long and hard at Chel, unsettled at how she was taking all of this so lightly.
"They're fine," she answered generically, not bothering to explain that Robert was probably one of theirs. Well, she could only assume so, considering his relationship with Mimsy. The ghoul shuddered at the memory of the two of them.
Edel glanced at Shun, a little unsure if she should mention what they've been hearing at the agency to them. Judging by how clueless they appeared, it wouldn't surprise her that they didn't have much helpful information.

"Robert's one of yours as well. I'm surprised you hadn't managed to figure that out given what else I've told you," he stated flatly. As for the others, he didn't bother answering for. He just let out a sigh at Chris's response. Then again, these two did seem like they would be low rank. The Reaper supposed he shouldn't be surprised that they didn't know much. Oh well.
"Great. Doesn't seem like anyone knows a ******** thing, then."
Shun began to back away, seeming to be intent on leaving.
