I don't know a lot about crystals and stuff but I'm sure I can come up with something, so I'm interested.

Jiang had brought up some good points. Although Metou had no intention of keeping quiet about their mysterious interloper indefinitely, she could see the logic in waiting a while before mentioning it to anyone. Especially considering how worried Jiang was about the well-being of others if they told it. Metou was skeptical that the Ki Witch could see inside a private meeting with the leader of Ru as well as she could dig up information about a few hired hands, but it was better safe than sorry.
Metou sighed a little bit in preparation to concede her point. "You're right, I suppose we could play things safe for now," Metou said with a touch of bitterness. "I may not be convinced the legends about her are entirely true, but she does hold considerable power for us, so I suppose we have no choice but to do as she says."
After Yuudai had already left to grab food, Metou glanced over into the town they had reached. "Did she say which group she would be assisting?" Metou asked. "Well, I suppose we should all get going anyway. Who wants to help me pursue the lead that woman gave us?"

Also curious. Metou believes the Ki witch's power is greatly exaggerated?
Metou only knows of the Ki Witch through word of mouth, which she doesn't consider a reliable source of information. Metou admits that the witch has powerful magic, but doesn't believe she's actually hundreds of years old or can grant wishes. Metou's distrust of magic as a result of being raised in the Dokutsu clan is a part of that disbelief.
Didn't realize Lekkuen posted something before I did, but I'm not sure I should edit anything.
"I have no intention of respecting the wishes of a tempermental psychopath sponging off her mother's power, nor anyone who lobotomizes men and makes them their slaves, or any charlatan who maintains their power through ridiculous rumors," Metou said back to Jiang, wishing she had said it in a less harsh tone the moment it came out of her mouth, but since she was already on a roll, she continued. "I admit the Ki Witch is dangerous, but that's all the more reason we must be honest with the true dangers associated with our quest if we are to make business with Ru in good faith, if they help us they deserve to know who's involved."
As long as she was being this snippy, Metou figured she might as well drive the point home. "Besides, rolling over for a wolf won't make them any less hungry," Metou said, "If you think doing every single thing the Ki Witch asks us to do will end with anything but a piece of bone wedged in each of our skulls, you're naive. When she turns against us, we don't want to be alone against her. Think, there's no reason she'd want her involvement in our affairs to be a secret if these thieves could supposedly destroy or control the island, she would be a hero. She needs to be a secret because she's using us."

I'm always up for Fallout RPs, do you allow for old world ghouls for a character?
Are we skipping now, should someone post next? I was holding off since I just posted but it just occurred to me that maybe some people are waiting for Metou to reply again since it's a conversation directly between her and someone else
No, but are we just gonna wait around until she does!?
The Ki Witch poisoned our water supply, burned our crops, and delivered a plague onto our houses!
When she saw that the Zhuni woman fled, Metou crawled out of the bushes she was hiding in and rejoined the group. Jiang was discussing what to do next, based on the clues they had just been given by their attacker. When Metou approached she had a bitter and embarrassed look on her face. She almost wished that the woman was an actual enemy, rather than someone who attacked them and then suddenly decided to help them and run off. Having to follow the advice of someone who had just tried to kill them felt intensely disgraceful to Metou.
"Although we'd be foolish not to follow the leads she's given us, I hop-" Metou tried to say, but she was interrupted when her time as her younger self ran out. Metou's left eyeball spontaneously popped out of her skull, and suddenly she was an old woman again, holding a jar and a metal scoop. The rifle she was holding as her other form was still be held by that body, and she'd need to transform again to retrieve it. In an instant Metou dropped the jar and the scoop and dove forward to catch her eye before it hit the ground. She grasped the eye and fell forward, and crawled around until she grabbed the jar, and with some fumbling opened it up and popped the eye back in, muttering the whole time.
When she stood up and brushed herself off, Metou continued. "I hope we're not all planning to trust that monster at her word, or anyone affiliated with the Ki Witch. I will be with the group pursuing the woman with the foreign instrument, as I'd like to watch the situation." Additionally, though Metou had been to Ru before, the leadership had changed since the last time she was there, so her familiarity with their streets was stronger than her familiarity with their leader. Metou turned to look at Jiang, who wanted to talk to Ru's clan leader with Takumi. "If you aim to request that Ru keep an eye out for our relics, or donate resources, I'd advise you to warn them of the Ki Witch's involvement, and of the chaos that the Ki Witch's daughter implied the thieves will bring. If it doesn't help convince them, they at least deserve to know what's happening."
Metou glanced at the mutilated bodies they were standing around. It crossed Metou's mind to take one of their eyes, but quickly dismissed it as a bad idea. While they seemed strong, she would gain the form they had before their deaths, with that bone implanted in their skull. At best, Metou assumed she'd become a killer who could feel no pain, which would be bad for her long term well-being. At worst she might become a slave to the woman they had just fought, if only temporarily.
