{Lol fair enough}
"Um, what's the police? How do I get to them? Will they help?"
Offline
"They're probably in a police station. Um...I don't really have a phone, so I can't really call them, but maybe I can search up the address if we go to a place with internet," Manai goes, shifting a bit. "I hope they can help," she continues with genuine concern. "...but from your descriptions, the Hunters group you mentioned might not really be...mortal."
Offline
"Oh, yes yes! Good plan. Hitan would like the help of police, I think." But her smile faded when Manai continued. "Is that really that bad?"
Offline
You sure about that first part, Helen?
"Maybe not," Manai goes thoughtfully. "There are a lot of entities in the world who aren't mortal who might be able to help you. But anyways, it's better to try just to be sure. Do you want to try the police?"
Offline
She nodded eagerly. "Yes please. Let's try talking to them."
Offline
"Okay." Manai looks into the water nearby while trying to recall something. "Hmm...just for confirmation, do you know where the library might be?"
Offline
She shook her head. "No, sorry."
Offline
"No problem, because I think I know where it is!" Manai reassures. "But we should probably ask someone just to be sure. For directions, too. If I recall correctly, the library's a bit far from here. We can take the bus or something."
Offline
"Oooh, a bus!" She looked thrilled. "Those are so fun!'
Offline
"I agree!" she exclaims. "...Mostly!" she adds after a little bit more consideration. "Well, I'm going to look for someone to ask." She looks around. "Where do you think we should go first? Maybe back to the gas station?"
Offline
She nodded. "Yeah! Let's try that."
Offline
"Okay!" Manai waits for Helen to go first. If Helen doesn't, she'll go first. In any case, she just wants to make sure neither of them slips and falls into the water or something. That would be very bad.
Offline
Helen took the lead, though it soon became clear she wasn't entirely sure where the station was.
Offline
Manai might be observant, but she's mostly just kinda following Helen like they're in a parade. She kind of is the kind of person who always feels like she's happy, so hopefully that manifests in some sort of positive aura. Seems like Helen needs it.
Offline
"Um, is this the right way?" Pointing across the street, Helen glanced back at her new friend.
Offline
"Yeah!" Manai confirms.
Offline
Helen brightened instantly. It didn't take much to make her happy, apparently. "Ok! You'll stay close, right?"
Offline
"I will," Manai confirms. "Or I'd lose you and I'm not good at finding others."
Offline
Helen took it as a joke and smiled. "Good." Before long, the police station could be spotted.
Offline
Yay! Helen's learning how to understand jokes! :D
"Good job! We're almost there," Manai cheers. It might seem a small thing to cheer about, but she's just kind of like that.
Offline
Helen's wings flared excitedly. "Oh! Really? That didn't take long!"
Offline
"It did feel shorter than when we walked over to the lake place," Manai agrees.
Offline
"Mhm!" By now, they had reached the entrance to the station. Helen paused before stepping inside. "What do we tell them?"
Offline
Manai holds the door open. "Just the truth," the girl reckons. "I hope they'll be able to help you."
Offline
Helen nodded and approached a police officer whom she politely called "dude." Anxiously, she described her situation, although the officer looked less than believing after talk of undead, glowy hunters chasing her across the world.
Offline
(Please tell me the officer is male and not female xD)
(Also the glowsticks are scary smh @police officer)
Manai stands next to Helen, though she doesn't say anything. She looks around for other police officers who might take the other young woman seriously.
Offline
{Helen just calls everyone dude now XD}
"Uh...sorry kid." The officer frowned and crossed her arms. "Not sure how I can help you there. When did you see them last?"
"A couple weeks ago, I think," she mumbled.
Offline
(Well tbh at least she did it politely xD improvement)
HER. The narrator's gonna scream in lieu of Hitan who, if you're wondering, wouldn't scream like they do. Or at all.
"Can you ask a supervising officer about possible methods for this situation?" Manai suggests helpfully to the police officer.
Offline
{XD}
The officer nodded. "I can try, although I can't guarantee anything."
