Li sits at her favorite spot near the cracked boulder, with its small "shrine" of sorts, staring out at the view, sitting cross-legged.

Signs 'a recent battles... buncha refugees fleein' left and right... smoke in the distance every dang place I scope out fer trainin'... alien monsters... and now crazy people left and right...

She claps her hands to her head and shakes it in frustration.

Awwwww GODDAMN IT! I thought we had this shit sorted! What the fuck is going ON around here lately?! I know I missed the last big battle, but I weren't in THIS much of a rush fer shit to go down!

...So what are you going to do, Li-san?

I don't know! I ain't usually a puzzle solver! I just find whatever's fuckin' around with people and beat the shit out of it! But even I can't take on an alien army! Gah!

I'm sorry.

Amaterasu comes from the other side of the boulder and sits down.

What're YOU apologizin' for? You ain't got nothin' to do with it.

Ah....

I just now it's bad to feel useless.

...? Big ol' wolf...

...ah well. Wanna sit with me, wolf? You look kinda dumb, but not mean.

U spiritual power = Lame, Li.

*sigh* I just want to know what the fuck's goin' on. Is this some way of makin' Baal seem that much less like a threat? At least he's mindin' his own damn business.

Amaterasu snorts distastefully, but settles herself next to the warrior, or as close as is comfortable for the martial artist.

At least this one knows the difference between a Wolf and a dog.

Fuuuu...

...Or he doesn't care.

That too. Still beats this shit.

Crazy ass world we live in, wolfie. I kinda miss th' days where it was just random crazy, not total crazy. At least then it was easier to figure out what to hit.

Amaterasu gives a little yip, as though she's agreeing with you.

She likes things simple as well.

Things are very complex. Very, very complex indeed. It's the nature of this place, really.

*Yukari sits on some ground nearby, sipping at a large bottle.*

She reaches out, without thinking, to pet; at the last second, she holds, looking over for verification of permission. This might be a wolf that's too proud for that sort of thing.

And, hell, I can handle one person going bugfuck nuts, or being a bastard. That's what Odi Wan was like. That's what that Odio guy was like. And really, that's Revya in a nutshell. None of this "send 'em out to take 'em over" stuff. You know?

She blinks a bit at the new arrival, then sighs.

I don't much like complex. Simple's th' way to go. I ain't ever been a complex person even before the old bastard took me in. *shakes her head*

Chaos is never simple. Simple is ordered, predictable... Ultimately, more fallible. A perfect ordered Netherworld would be one easy to subvert, with a weaker Overlord.

The best we can do is try and find the advantages in the chaos, ultimately.

Maybe it would help the young lady to relax.

Amaterasu doesn't make it any easier, but she doesn't shy away either.

She pets, then.

Man, I dunno. The old man would probably know what to do in a case like this. Don't go blabbin' this to folks, ha ha, but that guy really did change my life. Still don't know what he saw in me that day. I mean, I was tryin' to mug him, and yet he still took me in as a student. Can't say much for his survival instincts.

She cackles a bit at this.

Still.

I guess. I ain't exactly sure what th' advantages are in a case like this, though.

Training.

You're up against a vastly numerous, highly insidious threat, one capable, as we've more recently observed, of turning allies into enemies.

Sounds like an ideal practice run for facing Baal, to me.
