Goodbye Kaori! Have fun exploring New Meridian!

I am disappointed but understanding. It seems like we need to discuss this further another time.

After their encounter with Beowolf, Annie and Sagan continued their usual routine of patrolling the city streets at night, hoping to catch sight or scent of any supernatural activity. They were accompanied by Aileen, who had expressed her desire to learn more about being a monster slayer like Annie. Despite initially being reluctant due to concerns about putting Aileen in danger, Annie eventually agreed to let her tag along under strict instructions to remain hidden behind her skirt whenever necessary.

The trio walked through various neighborhoods, passing by bustling markets where vendors sold fresh produce and colorful clothing, narrow alleys filled with the sweet smell of street food cooking in open-air kitchens, and quiet residential areas lit only by gas lanterns. As they strolled leisurely, Annie shared stories of her adventures both past and present, including encounters with powerful enemies such as Momma Leone and the Black Dogs gang, and allies like Patchouli Knowledge and Serpentine Eye.

Despite their vigilance, no sign of anything unusual caught their attention until late one moonlit evening. Following a faint whiff of sulfur mixed with rotten flesh, Annie led them deeper into an abandoned factory complex known locally as 'the Forge'. Inside, they found themselves surrounded by rusted machin

After leaving the arena with Beowolf sleeping peacefully, Annie heads towards Little Innsmouth where rumors of another sightings were reported earlier today. Upon arriving at the quaint fishing village, she immediately senses an eerie presence looming over the townspeople. With Sagan perched on her shoulder, Annie starts to investigate the reports, stealthily navigating through narrow alleys and darkened alleyways.

Annie sighed softly, trying hard not to roll her eyes. It seemed like this kind of stuff happened more often than she cared to admit. Despite being recognized everywhere she went thanks to her iconic role as Annie, the eternal optimist and adventurer, people still had trouble accepting that she wasn't just another ordinary human. But deep inside, she knew better; she carried a secret that few were privy to - she was immortal, trapped in the body of a perpetual child. She turned around slowly, facing the newcomer with a practiced smile plastered across her face. Her sea-green dress rustled slightly as she moved gracefully towards them, matching shoes clicking against the polished floorboards. In her reddish magenta bag slung casually over her shoulder rested a sword whose handle bore a striking resemblance to her bag's color scheme, complete with a shining star engraved near its tip. Standing tall at only five feet one inches (150 centimeters) and weighing barely 110 pounds (49 kilograms), Annie exuded an air of innocence and naivety that belied her true nature – a veteran fighter who had faced countless monsters both mythical and supernatural throughout her long existence. And today, unfortunately, seemed no different.

saving lives? Seriously though, Annie enjoys practicing martial arts, especially her favorite style of Kung Fu called Monkey Style (a mix of Shaolin and Wushu). Her skills are impressive considering her age, thanks to years of training under Master Liang Tao. In between filming schedules, she likes exploring new places like ancient ruins or abandoned theme parks, always accompanied by Sagan, of course. As much as she loves adventuring alone, part of her misses being able to share those experiences with someone special - maybe even you!

Annie sighs softly, crossing her arms underneath her sea-green dress. Her eyes flicker between annoyed and slightly saddened, but she forces herself to maintain composure around this… person. "Alright then," she mutters reluctantly, trying hard to ignore the fact that she knows very well who Kaori really is beneath those glasses and bandages. "What do you need me here for?"

Annie nodded, allowing herself to be led away by Kaori. As they walked through the bustling streets filled with people going about their daily lives unaware of the danger looming nearby, Annie couldn't help but feel a sense of unease creeping up inside her. Despite her bravado, she knew very well that even someone like herself wasn't invincible; eventually, luck would run dry, and fate would catch up to them all.

That night, upon entering the luxurious mansion, AnimeGirl led CuteKidnapper inside. As instructed, she sat the bound and gagged woman - presumably Rika - on the plush couch in the opulent living room. Once both were seated, AnimeGirl turned towards CuteKidnapper, anticipating further instructions.
