(Cortana is, for the most part, helping with the non fighting stuff - seeking out info that could be used to harm the church, its members, anyone affiliated with the church and its members... but she's also got this nice new body that is really satisfying to use to beat the shit out of people, so she's showed up to the fight too.
Seeing someone in trouble, she grabs the nearest throwable object she can see and hurls it at the attacker.)
Hey, asshole! Why-
(But instead of turning around or even yelling in pain, the cultist collapses bonelessly a few moments after the object hits them ...right in the back of the head. There might be a bit of blood, even. Cortana might be limited to humanly possible amounts of strength, but the upper end of humanly possible is still really strong and that was a rather heavy thing she threw. She pauses, blinking.
Meanwhile, another cultist is coming up behind her...)
B)
(Warehouse cleanup isn't really the sort of job she's suited for, but still, might as well help out where she can. She'd hope to find something interesting, but honestly, anything potentially interesting she finds here is more likely to curse her than anything else, so maybe it'd be better to hope she ends up terribly bored.
Unfortunately, what actually happens is the worst of all worlds - the giant Elf isn't boring but it's definitely not something she wants to mess with.
She makes a face as she takes a step back.)
Please tell me that's just a really tasteless Christmas decoration.
C) (Closed to Eda)
(As smart as Cortana is, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. So when Cortana sees a pen lying out on the floor, she picks it up without any particular concern - whoever heard of a cursed pen, anyway?
When Eda finds her she'll be tucked away in a corner, shaking and spasming - and also swearing under her breath in frustration - as she tries to write on the side of a box. Her current writing is near completely illegible, but she's been working on this for a while, and that writing contains a lot of ...interesting stuff.
If I'd died when I was supposed to, billions of people would still be here.
His name is John.
I betrayed him.
I want to keep living.
I'm sorry.
I'll never see him again.
I think I might be in love with him.
Well, that's probably more than you ever wanted to know about your - entirely too young to have to deal with such an extensive amount of bullshit - sexy AI friend, but there you go.)
