In the search of fools.

Goal one find Portnoy. First part of this plan...

Let's go fuck up some proxies.

The Liar is actually coming with us for once.

How nice of her to grace us with her presence.

Everyone but me gets guns.

Dr. Malice have some pistols. You're main weapon is body swapping anyways.

Liar have a sniper rifle. You're gonna be our support since usually Portnoy is support but he's not here. Megan... You won't need it but you can have a pistol too. Ok fine I'll take a damn gun but I won't use it.

So we went to the proxy headquarters.

No plans... Winging it works better.

Screw it we're just going to do it this way from now on. Walk in kill everything simple and easy.

And this time if one of those god damn Ne Timu show up we're not just taking it.

These things aren't the fears they're a bunch of worthless backups.

If I had tried to punch Slendy in the face like I did that Dreslith thing I'd be dead by now.

So we headed up to the proxy location. The Liar did a far better job than I had expected her too...

I mean she was The Dying Man so I guess you know she was sort of a bad ass monster but really it's hard to remember that fact now...

Anyways point is she sniped three guys who tried to stop us as we approached and we made it to the front door.

Btw I know subtetly is the best idea usually but there is nothing more satisfying to me than walking right in through the front door.

In actual fact most of the time people are so used to subtle enemies that the front door is the least expected.

So anyways I proceeded to punch open the door which had the fortunate side effect of taking out someone who had been standing directly behind said door.

Marched in and waited. As expected guns and attention were turned to me.

I spoke in a conversational tone. "Hello I'm the one who murdered The Dove and his group. My name is The Muffin Man. You may have heard of me. A little while back some of my friends attacked you. Afterwards one of them went missing. Do any of you know where he went or what happened to him? I would point out I am at current asking nicely."

There was no response. Someone tried to shoot me but that's what the sniper is for.

"Is there someone in charge of this group?"

A tallish strong looking man with short brown hair and a goatee wearing a black trenchcoat and a rather peeved expression raised his hand which was currently holding a really heavy looking pistol. I don't know much about guns but I can guess that this was a weapon with quite a large amount of power.

"I'm Nathan Umbra. I'm currently in charge here. As for the person you're looking for I don't know anything about him but if something happened then it serves him right for trying to attack us." The man said.

Me: Nathan Umbra? Huh we share a name... Regardless... You really don't know what happened to him? That's a shame...

I turned to go and  the world erupted into action. Guns went off from both sides and someone moved behind me. I turned knocking Nathan's gun aside as it fired. I allowed myself a moment of gloating. I must admit to being sort of an elitist when it comes to weapons. I assume that those who use them do so to make up for an inability to fight properly especially when it comes to guns. Kudos to Nathan for proving me wrong. I tried to punch him in the chest with my other hand but his own other hand caught mine. The others were all firing on each other but me and Nathan just stood locked for a few moments. We broke apart finally and he put his gun away. I foolishly assumed I could use that moment as a distraction. Bastard fended me off with one hand than gut punched me with the other as he finished. I stumbled back and recovered just in time to dodge a hook to the face. The shooting around us had mostly stopped by now but whether it was because everyone was dead or because they were all watching us I didn't know. I began pummeling him but he parried my attacks with ease and countered a few quite successfully. I have never been in a fistfight against someone who could actually beat me before. Nathan Umbra was soundly kicking my ass.

I couldn't win... Not by fighting hand to hand anyways... As a punch connected with my gut brought me to my knees a thought flashed through my mind. He punched towards me I grabbed his hand dived to the side and flung him through the broken doorway. Instantly The Liar put a bullet through his skull.

What did you think I was going to use that gun Megan made me take? Screw that.

I stood up and now surveyed the scene. Most of the proxies were dead. The few who were left didn't seem willing to fight anymore. I asked if any of them perhaps knew something about Portnoy but they said no and so we left.

Upon reaching home however someone met us.

He said he knew where Portnoy was.

He said his daughter had him.
  
On a hunch I asked his name.

As expected he looked confused for a second than merely left.

So... I think I know who the "she" The Blind Man mentioned is...

Now the question is how and why?

Oh another fun fact. There is another group or individual killing servants in the area. It appears to be another nest given that all the attacks involved birds. It would appear someone didn't get the message we sent via Dove but so far these ones seem to only be targeting servants so we can ignore them for now. Portnoy is the priority at the moment.

Well Portnoy and the Ne Timu
