"That's possible. In that case, it would be most likely that she appeared innocuous until she reached some dark corner of the Labourer's Ward where she would not be seen, and then she strikes--speaking of which, are all the locations just on the periphery of the Labourer's Ward as if she was leading them in and striking when she found a good spot? But somehow, there have always been witnesses even still, who lived to tell...and she always somehow is wearing that armour at the scene of the crime, which would be pretty telltale and probably would take a while to don or doff from the way I've heard it described. It just doesn't add up...
(OOC: The answer to her question is that no, some of them are on the periphery, but at least one was deep within the Labourer's Ward and near none of the exits)

"No . . . not on the periphery, some of them are . . . but there was at least one deep within the Labourer's Ward near none of the exits," Zykovian explained. "Perhaps it is something that they can sense and this draws them out . . . a power of some kind? Shards of the Arris or something similar."

"I suppose that's possible...Still, bejeweled lure or social bait, after the number of repetitions, you would think they would catch on and stop falling for it. I hear the incidents always occur at midnight."

Zykovian checked his internal clock to see just how much time he had before midnight. "I would suppose that if most of the Mojiin are in the Faith Ward and would be lured to the Labourer's Ward, then if someone were strategically placed between the two at quarter til or earlier, you could follow the Mojiin and possibly stop the crime . . . ."

"Indeed, that could be a good strategy. Like most things in life, there is clearly more to this matter than there seems."

"Indeed, much more, in fact. Are you aware of any religious customs that would need to be performed at midnight? I cannot think of any at the moment," Zykovian replied. "I find myself curious as to the reasons behind the woman's attacks - though not curious enough to allow someone else to be harmed . . . ."

"I do not know of any Mojiin rituals performed at mdnight off the top of my head, nor are this woman's murders reminiscent of any ritual of which I have heard. That said, it would not be hard to believe that the Mojiin have a midnight ritual--many cultures consider it a time of great power...and perhaps rightly so."

"Then I should probably stop home and gather the rest of my supplies. It would seem that my night of work is not yet finished," Zykovian determined. Zykovian thought wistfully of a passionate evening with Molpe, though he couldn't count on being ready at the proper time . . . best to just head out and look for more clues before midnight.

"A bounty hunter's work is never done until the job is over, I guess. Sorry about that, Ace. Good luck, though. I'm sure you'll find the breakthrough you need soon if you put that gorgeous mind of yours to work."
