[ The woman on camera is petite with a pretty face. Her hair had been braided back neatly at some point, but now loose strands of it hang around her face. Her clothes are loose and androgynous; always in rough-spun breeches and sturdy boots. She is sitting in what appears to be one of the Tamamo pleasure dens, the phone balanced on its side with a stand so she can speak to it without holding it.

That's as far as she's gotten with technology, it mostly baffles her, but she has something to say: ]

Isonade hunters. Listen well. All Shark Giants are capable of a deadly, four-legged charge attack and they swipe at you as they come into range. Dodge to the side, not backwards, so that you may more easily circle to their back.

Bait and kite them until you are able to land your backstab cleanly. Their hide is tough, you must commit in full. But they will fall swiftly if their spine is severed.

If you have not the poise to withstand their charges, you must stay at range from them and work slowly, steadily. They will tire with the cumulative damage to themselves.

Gather as many Haniwa as you can to take with you. They have no particular defense against accursed attacks, these will be a great boon to you as a projectile. Do not linger long with them in your possession, however, or it will be you who suffers from their taint.

[ She goes silent for a moment. Studying the camera, something she is not used to speaking to. Her dark eyes are ever so slightly disconcerting, a little distant and empty.

But she quirks a small, courteous smile, ]

Happy hunting.

Church, is it? Can't say I'm much for that, myself. But I get what you're saying with having to clean up after someone else.

Seems to be common enough no matter where you go.

[notched]

Can't say I much care for the Church either.

[ Coldly hateful. ]

We're certainly summoned to this place to serve.

[sawofstrength]

Not too thrilled about that, are you?

[notched]

The city I've left behind is trapped in some ugly god's pact. To free them, they bring me here for some other ugly god's pact.

[ It's all the same shit, but she's vengeful enough against the pain and ruin the Great Ones caused Yharnam that she'll do it anyway. ]

[sawofstrength]

Is their freedom important to you?

[notched]

Aye. I'm not so selfish... that I'd put off saving them if the opportunity is before me.

[ She left her sister, when she was still little more than a girl herself. She's an adult now, she's learned better the hard way. ]

[sawofstrength]

That's a good idea. As inconvenient as this is, what they're offering is nothing to laugh at.

Granted, I don't have anything like that. I just want to go back so I can resume my duties.

[notched]

Can't scoff at anyone for going back to their life.

[ Sure be nice if she had one though. ]

[sawofstrength]

I sure would hope not, it's the only one any of us have.

[ A soft exhale, ]

No, there is nothing to return to in Yharnam. If I survive, I must start anew...
