Defense teams should be aware that a giant hand (taller than a man) attacked at Cloud Recesses today. Gladiolus, Katou Yue, and I were able to eliminate the threat without serious injury to anyone here, but it is seldom that a trouble in Vallo is strictly isolated.

This particular hand appeared on a rooftop and attempted to crush me under its palm. It also fired a dart equipped with a paralytic poison which thankfully is not deadly. We were able to dispatch it quickly enough that I do not know what else it might be capable of.

That's a fun way to start a Monday. Only the one hand for you guys?

Only one. Did you have more?

I currently have none but I'm not looking forward to walking into the office now. It's very rarely an isolated incident around here.

I hope good fortune continues to follow you. That was a very unpleasant creature - but as you say, it is rarely an isolated incident here. And when it is, the isolated incident is much more harrowing than this was.

Maybe these ones will stick to places in or near the forest. That at least helps contain the situations a little.

Is everything okay structurally for you too?

No serious damage has been done to Cloud Recesses. It will be only a matter of replacing some shingles and flagstones. I am simply relieved that if such a thing were to happen, it was now and not in the middle of next month's Art Fair.

Hopefully next months insanity bypasses you completely.

Because of course there will be some manner of insanity next month. This is Vallo, after all.

I'd honestly be worried if there wasn't any.

Who got hit with the dark? They're okay?

I was hit with the dart. My cultivation level is sufficient that it paralyzed me for mere seconds and did no other harm.

You are unharmed?

I am. There is no need to worry, my heart. I expect to be home at the usual time.

Would you like me to come by the Cloud Recesses to lend my strength to yours?

If you have the time to help, I would be grateful for it. We have the creature's remains to remove, and a number of broken flagstones and shingles.

I will be there shortly to lend my assistance. I'm glad you are unharmed.

Are you certain the dart will have no after effects?

I was able to circulate my qi to cleanse myself. There is nothing to worry about, I promise you.

I suppose I should know better than to worry so. I'm glad.

Will you need any supplies from home?

I ran into one while I was on patrol today too. Luckily Leon was there to lend a hand.

They're faster than you'd think by looking at them.

"Lend a hand" I'd be laughing at that if it wasn't for the fact that thing was fucking HUGE!

Oh yeah, and definitely had more fingers than any hand should ever need.

[info]notarookie

I think I counted something like 8 fingers. I've heard some people having a 6th finger, like an extra pinky or something, but 8 fingers is just too much.

I'd ask where they came from, but I don't think I really want to know.

[info]bythepowerof

No. I doubt they're native to Vallo, but I wouldn't want to visit whatever dimension they did come from. And here I thought my universe was in the running for creepy universes.

I'm more concerned if we need to worry about whatever may have been attached to those hands....

At least we know that whatever it is, it's unarmed.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]notarookie

Would cutting off a hand be considered unarmed or unhanded?

(Reply to this) (Parent)


[info]zewujun

Much faster. And better at hiding than one would expect, as well.

It will never make sense to me how the biggest monsters always manage to hide in the tiniest places.

You have everything under control there? I can see about sending some of my team over to you if you need the extra hands.

All that remains now is cleaning up. I think I now have sufficient help to have the hand removed from the courtyard, but I thank you for the offer.

I'm glad to hear it. Shoot me a message if anything changes; we'll continue our patrols in the meantime.

Came here to say that we came across one out in the forest today, but Adam beat me to it.

I have a bad feeling about this...

[info]zewujun

Already, as expected, there are more of them here. A bad feeling is a sensible thing to have.

Fantastic. Do you need help?

[info]zewujun
2023-06-13 12:06 pm UTC (link)
I apologize, I spoke with insufficient clarity. There are more "here" as in Vallo, not "here" as in The Art of Expression. We would not reject help in moving the remains from the courtyard, however.

That's alright, I should have known they were everywhere. Yeah, I can help with the courtyard.

You have my thanks. Many hands make light work We will appreciate the extra ha

I am discovering suddenly how many expressions about getting work done involve "hands."

It's kind of surprising to stop and think about that. So far I've heard "lend a hand twice....by the same person...

Nothing of note. Maybe a bruise or two. I'll be fine, Iggy.
