These woods are nice for a casual walk or even if you have a more adventurous urge. Bubbling hot springs lie just around the bend, fruits can be found to suit every taste bud, and rumor has it there are talking Tali who can speak Lambastian! (+2 Precision)

Big game hunting (P, Nevermore and I, possibly M)

Niner, played in human form

Vox

(Note: Vox will resume a backseat role most of the time, kind of just scouting out areas and collecting data)

The Cirquit Corbine scanned the area around them, his head moving in a fast, jerky fashion, trying to process as much data as possible.  Vox shifted his weight on his perch, a low hanging branch, and directied his attention to his Partner. Niner leaned against an old and moldy fence, also watching the area closely for any sign of movement.

They where at the border of the woods, the trees looming close to them, and giving the all and all gray day an even more foreboding atmosphere. The tall, lanky man with the gasmask and dark gray and brown clothes looked even more out of place in such a natural environment then he usually did, but truth be told, he enjoyed the outdoors far more then cluttered cities.
He got a rather unusual job on his hands here, but one that reminded him of an other one, some time ago.
apparently, there was some...thing roaming around. usually the people only told storys about a monster in the woods, but recently it seemed to come out frequently and move in closer to the surrounding towns. With the people being frightend, he was called to take care of the beast once and for all. To make this whole thing even more of a deja vu, he would pair up with an other hunter. /oh well, its just one other person tho, this time/ he thought. Still, he always felt a bit uneasy when hunting in teams. And to make matters 'worse' he had no idea who his hunting partner was exactly

"this will get...interisting. at least" he mumbled more to himself. After a few more minutes, Vox who sat perfectly still, suddently moved his head arround, staring into the distance. "Incoming.3 o clock" he said with his mechanical voice. Niner tilted his head in said direction, the gray sky reflecting in the glasses of his mask, and straightend himself slighlty, waiting patiently for what he assumed to be his partner to come closer.

Click clack, click clack, the sound of horse hoofs hitting against pavement below the rider and her horse. The horses reign was tight just how the rider liked it. Coming from the nearest town with conformation on  the where abouts of Vincent she was eager to finish this job quickly. Iveri's hawk perched on her gloved right arm, and Iveri's latest purchase hung tight as it should around the belly and back of her black Friesian horse. She and her pets were making their way towards another hunter though she preferred solo missions she understood the requesters urgency for separate parties getting together to kill this creature. Iveri was told this other quester had started ahead of her and that she should make the journey to them as soon as possible. She continued walking far beyond the crack of dawn, fog rolled around them, in the distance lied the great Roraldi Forest she paced herself to gain as much ground as quickly as possible to catch up to this person, but not lose too much of her horses energy. Iveri sent her Hawk to scout the area for the other party and continued to trot toward the forests front. The Hawk let out a cry alerting Iveri of its success and its return, She stretched her arm out and whistled for the Hawk to land. Without much effort the Hawk glided gracefully to its masters arm. Seeing where the hawk came in from Iveri new she was going in the right direction. Her Dark locks lifeless of color in the still morning were pulled back into a tight downward ponytail her large huntress hat covered her head casting a shadow over her face, her crimson eyes wore malice as she quickly surveyed her surroundings. With the knowledge of her new destination confirmed she loosened the reigns to the horse buckled her boots, signaling for the horse to take on speed and galloped further into the fog closing the distance of her and her mission. As the wind flew between her body and horse she whistled to her Hawk once more signaling for her to scout further into the forest. Iveri pushed her weight on the stirrups leaning forward to gain even more speed; doing this quickly closed the distance, only a couple more miles to go before reaching the other party as she made her way she could see dark figures in the distance, "That must be them" she spoke sitting back down on the saddle and slowing the horse back down to a trot. Making her way towards the shadows she stared them down quickly analyzing the man and bird. She made her horse stop and slid off on its right side, she took the reigns and pulled the horse with her as she went to go and talk to the hunter. "I am Iveri, eldest Daughter of the Jones family" she introduced, with no intentions of being nice, just simply honest "If you know my Families lines then you should know I do not need a companion for this mission, it is after all the Jones family tradition to take down all beasts that have been requested or have terrorized cities, but if you still wish to tag along I will allow it, but if you grow scared simply leave. I do not want to see a cowards face nor do I want to be acquainted to one." her words were sharp like a blade and her eyes were cold. She had no patience for weaklings and if this person was, than there was no point in taking him along.

Niner watched the woman aproach. Upon her quite...harsh introduction, Niner did not indicate any sort of feeling. no amusement, nor feeling uncofortable, he just stood there and listened intendly. Vox however,
much against his usual..unemotional state, seemed to raise his head feathers in threat, staring at the huntress. "Did you just Imply that my partner is a coward?" he asked in a monotone, hollow voice, not matching with his agressive stance. Niner just raised a hand to silence him, not taking his eyes from the Newcomers.

"no. she did not" he said calmly without looking at the Corbine. He tilted his head slighlty "Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Jones" he started. "I am afraid I did not yet hear from your family, but the people who hired me gave me some information." he said all this in a neutral tone, tho he had to smirk slightly behind his mask. she was pulling of quite the entry here. He would not judge tho. If she was as good as she claimed, this would be much less of a hassle. And he did not look to make friends here, just to get this job done "My Name is Niner, my partner is called Vox" he continued "And to put your mind ar ease, I have quite a lot of experience in this field. I will not be a be a burden, I can assure you that" there was a slight shift in his tone. Even tho Niner was a very calm person and hard to anger, he was by far not a pushover. Tho he shielded his face, it was clear what the underlying message in his words where. /do not underestimate me. I do not want to get into unescesarry fights, but do not try to push your luck too far/.
The slight shift from his voice gone again, he stated "I dont have too much information on our target, My contacts where quite vague on what exactly we are dealing with here. most likely because they did not know either." after a short pause he asked "do you know anything more about the target?"

Iveri examined the bird named 'Vox' and the hunter, Niner, she was a bit curious of the two. Putting that aside she listened to the hunter. "The beast is said to be monstrous in size, and very clever" she answered  firmly gripping her horses reign hating that she only had a few clues to what they were going to be dealing with. A high pitched scream came from above alerting Iveri of her Hawks return switching her hands of the reign she held her right arm out and whistled for her Hawk to land. Wings fluttered in front of Iveri almost losing control, but than regaining balance and landing gracefully on one talon the other claw lifting up a small animal, "aw, a creature of the forest. To which part did he come from? " she asked the Hawk. Bringing her arm in closer for a better look. The small rodent like creature struggled in the talons of the Hawk trying to free itself from its imminent embrace. "If we are to work together,  be sure to keep up" she scowled lifting the reigns over her horses head then grabbing ahold of the horn to her saddle she placed her left boot in the stirrup then lifted herself over the horse her right leg swinging over placing herself center on the saddle. "Let's not waste anymore time out here,  we have to find the whereabouts of this beast" her voice yelled out with no hesitation,  but with much determination.

(sorry :( do you still want to continue?)

he nodded briskly at what little information she had to add. /tricky/ he thought. He did not like that they where pretty much working with nothing here. But then again, he had dealt with worse conditions. He watched the short interaction between Iveri and her hawk. Vox meanwhile stared at the forest border, waiting for orders.

"you are right" Niner agreed, starting to walk briskly paralelly  but with some distance  to her horse. "we lost eniough time. Vox, take a first look, then come back to me as soon as you find anything that could help us"
"affirmitive" Vox gave one last, cold look towards the woman and her two trusted companions, before taking of and vanishing between the trees ahead of them.

as soon as they crossed the border to the forest, all of the sounds seemed dulled. something was defenetively not right, but not easy to  place a finger on either. Niner kept close watch, getting the feeling of trespassing a predators territory. luckily, him and his new...aquitance where some sort of predators themselves. if he was honest, he was quite curious about her skills...or rather, if she could live up to her slightly bold entry...

(OOh yes, lets continue xD. It's okay I totally understand I didn't want to nag you to reply, RL comes first so patience I can handle <3... let me see how to get back into Iveri's character lol her personality is kind of tough to portray sometimes)

The cold wind cut against her cheeks as she and her familiars made it inside the forest. Her newest companion had ventured on ahead, she wouldn't complain watching him from behind made it easier. She kept her hand on the small creature her Hawk retrieved, one thing she new about feral creatures was; the moment they were free to retreat to their safe place, they weren't smart enough to lose the tracker in the process. Her goal was to use this pest to lead them straight to the whereabouts of the beast. She could trust her Hawk, she ordered him to find the beast even if it was just a scent, so either he new or the beast was hiding and this small creature had his scent on him. She slowed her horses pace and watched the silent forest "watch out.." she whispered, the one good thing about a forest was you knew if there was trouble or not and right now there was trouble a silent forest is a dangerous forest. "Wait a second.." she examined the creature in her grasp more closely "This is a baby" she exclaimed. Eyes watching the dark forest for any signs of movement. Just what was this creature they were after?
