Pig in a Sheet [Mission/Closed]

Ivory had found herself on a mission with an avian footed man, a fellow Spear albeit one she did not particularly know. In fact, part of the reason she agreed to the this task was for the sake of assessing the guy's skill and mannerisms. It was good to keep tabs and form knowledge about your Guildmates; you never knew when there would come a time when you needed their particular skill set.

"Ha, I dunno, do you got the eyes of a bird or just the feet?" She teased back, a impish grin flashing at him. But, to answer his question in a comical but straight-forward way, she allowed her jaw and nose to do a partial take-over - suddenly shifting them into that of a long wolven maw, whilst her upper face remained human. It looked absolutely ridiculous, but that was the point. "I suppose you could say I have all of the above.~"

Her face shifted quickly back to normal, but she was giggling, "In all seriousness, though, I could be the hound to find the pigs, but I think it'd be funner to watch you try first. I'm sure Anniken would be pleased to hear about your efficiency at tackling challenges."

[Onward, Rex! Be impressive! Tehe.]

Ivory's head titled curiously at the man's display of embarassment. He evidently was not as confident about his unique features as she was; granted hers were optional. "I think your feet are pretty cool. But, no, it doesn't hurt for me to change. It's as simple as slipping into a different pair of clothes."

Noticing his excitement at the mention of Anniken, Ivory gave him a playful pat on the back with a big nod, "Yes, yes I will! She may or may not have sent me out here to assess you, after all~" Mischief on her lips, she'd ruffle his hair like he were a kid, albeit one taller than her and most likely older. Age didn't mean much when it came to those of magic, though. Besides, from his lack of confidence he felt younger to her.

Soon after she would come to understand why Rex had asked her if her change had hurt. He turned away from her suddenly, gasping in discomfort as a horrendous symphony of cracks was heard. Once it was quiet again, her wolfish ears picked up on his self-commentary of being a freak. Poor guy, really doesn't like himself all that much does he? But when he turned to her, she could faintly understand where he was coming from. His neck had been covered in fur , whilst his face had morphed with a lion's snout. But to someone who spent their whole lives changing into different beasts and animals, it was hardly a freakish thing to look upon. "Interesting face ya go there! That defnitely sound like it hurt. You must not be a take-over mage, eh?"

She'd nod at his "shall I," hoping he'd lead the charge in a swift manner. She was curious about him, but also knew this mission was on a time limit. If the boars got too far the beasts of the woodlands would take them instead; especially in these parts. That or selfish raiders wanting it all for themselves.

Resisting the urge to get wrapped up in conversation, the woman would only smile at his commentary and awe over the possibilities of take-over magic. She marched alongside him until his snout picked up the scent of their prey, "We got something!" His specific wording caught her attention, a wolfish ear flicking curiously toward him. "We," huh? Was the man sharing his body with something else? It would explain his powers, and the reason as to why it wasn't take-over magic. She had heard of stories of those cursed or possessed with the souls of something else, but had never actually seen it. Their Guild leader had some sort of split personality - as far as her understanding of it went - but that was quite a bit different. Interesting.

Throughout her thought process, she had jolted after him, and when his voice alternated in pitches, her suspicions were confirmed. There was definitely someone else inside him. When the lower pitch exclaimed their excitement, Ivory decided it was time for her to really get into this mission, too.

Within moments the woman was no longer a woman, but rather a massive alabaster werewolf, evidently of the male variety. It fell to all fours and plunged it's power against the ground, it too following the scent on the wind. She glanced toward Rex, "You got me excited, so now let's have a contest! Whoever catches and kills the most wins!" She spoke with the guttural tone of a monster, no longer in possession of the friendly voice her human self possessed. Growling with the notion of competition, Ivory tried to out speed Rex, hoping to get the lead and the victory.

[Figured we could roll to see who was running faster atm/who take the lead haha.]

Rex Bello

Rex's avian-liken laugh ticked Ivory, she was happy that he was enthused at the concept of a contest. But, being the competitive beast that she was, she wouldn't allow her pleasure at his amusement to distract her. With the wolf now fully upon her, her senses were flooded with the scent of pig. And it was that particular aroma that she hyper-focused onto now, as she rushed passed him, her longer, stronger legs carrying her over the ground in a swifter pace than he could yet manage.

From the trail of the odor, the boars seemed to be heading into the woodlands as she had predicted they might. Likely eager to take cover in the brush, as well as forage for their own food among it's vegetation. But their pungent perfume did not remain together, it split, one going into the eastern part of the woods and the other toward the northern. She could not assess which group was bigger, though, not from sheer scent alone. It appeared that their hunt would be based on luck and skill - depending on who got the larger herd, but also upon which wouldn't let any of them get away.

She paused a brief moment before glancing back at Rex, her tail giving a taunting sway, before she turned and jolted, a white blur vanishing into the trees. She hoped he understood: they were to split up for the sake of the sport. But she would keep his scent in mind, not wanting to let it get too far out of reach just in case the sound of danger arrived. Even if she didn't know Rex all that well, she would not let her partner be totally abandoned - it was her duty to both assess and protect him; so hopefully her half of swine didn't already wander too far from reach, otherwise she'd have to forfeit by default by not wanting to separate from him too far. 

[Feel free to do whatever you wish. You can have something attack him after he goes off on his own or simply find the boar, etc. After we ICly kill some of them we can roll again to see who got the most, if that sounds cool to you!]

Unlike her companion, Ivory's own herd was perfectly safe and alone when she'd arrived upon them. The beast soul within her seemed to of been absurdly excited about it, too. With her senses assaulted with their tasty aroma, she'd find her body moving rapidly all on it's own accord, fangs brandished. With a body as massive as the lycan which she overtook, she was able to leap upon the back three boars herded together in one fell swoop, while the rest scattered away in fear. Those she landed up squealed with sheer terror, while each of her front paws tore into their backs, swiftly penetrating bone and organ. Meanwhile her maw did the same, albeit grabbing the center one with an enclosing mouth around it's neck.

Blood mixed with their natural scent sent her shuddering all over, an arousal of bloodlust prickling her fur. Unfortunately, that kindling was short lived as the air filled with a shriek of some not-so-distant beast.

Her neck jerked up, away from the dead prey, blood leaking down her alabaster muzzle. "Rex!" She jolted away then, leaving behind the dead to blast through the foliage of the woods, following her guildmates scent until she arrived upon a beast unlike any she'd ever seen before. Had it not been for Rex's scent and her earlier recollection of his legs and snout, she'd of attacked the monstrosity then and there. Near him, however, were two dead boar and the fading scent of something else.

"You're alright? Dammit, you distracted me!" Growling, the lycan beast suddenly lunged over Rex's new form, landing behind it before taking off again, disappearing into the brush to pursue the scent of his herd of boar. Now that he'd taken her away from her own hunt, she decided she'd have to punish him by taking out some of his. Inwardly she was giggling, but of course, the lycan's anatomy didn't allow for such a pleasant sound to escape.

[Perhaps a roll to see who catches the most? Kek. Also was thinking, maybe of getting a NPC request for 3 of those Onza's? Maybe that one he scared off went to get get it's friends to issue challenge back over the boar. Or to get it's mom/dad, who can be a much bigger Elite?]
