a whole brew world [mission/closed]

Days off from official OS buisness were rare, so Ivory had traveled to Andesite Village to enjoy the naturally occurring hotspring south of their settlement. Afterwards she'd went to their marketplace, in search of something unique to pick up; perhaps a trinket for Justice or Mercy. But it was there that she came across a job listing that struck her fancy -- mostly because of the amount indicated as a reward.

"Easy peasy!"

She'd decide to take up the job, out of shameless greed, and headed to the designated rendezvous point. Apparently today was the day it was supposed to be undertook, and she was running a bit late given her delayed discovery of the task.

She'd find her supposed partner at the Village Gates, his expression soured. "Are you the one waiting for a beer rescuing companion? If so, here I am. Sorry for not being on time~ I barely discovered the notice myself. Sounds like easy money!" Her wolfish tail wagged at the thought, evidently pleased to have jewels fall into her lap. Compared to every other task she undertook, this one was child's play.

Ivory nodded a quick greeting, her fingers coinciding with it in a simple "peace" signal, indicative of the two fingers held up in the shape of a V. "Less work for me, then, glad you investigated already. Lead the way dude!" She returned his beam with one of her own; a pearly smile that revealed two elongated canines, ones too long to belong to a wolf - but who would guess that?

Little did Orion know, he was being accompanied by someone who no longer felt the effects of alcohol. Her fangs representative of her newfound vampiric nature than anything else. Which might explain why she had sought out a hotspring of all things; damn it felt good against a forever chilled body!

Once he began the trek, she'd follow suit, less eager than he appeared to be but excited nonetheless, even if her interested was purely money-oriented.

"I sense magical energy from you, a large amount, actually. Are you apart of a guild or a solo artist?"

The alabaster crowned magi didn't need to be warned of the wolf dung, but she grinned with appreciation regardless. He seemed a friendly guy, after all, no reason to deny his cheerfulness!

"Yellow, Orion! I'm Ivory, from Odin's Spear." Her expression momentarily gave way to wonder as they proceeded from farmland to the forest, crossing the threshold of the clearing. "I haven't heard much of Cait Shelter aside from it being.. ran by a cat? And that one of our newest recruit hails from there, Cheshire."

In consideration to his demi-human inquiry, she'd merely give a nod. Despite her new powers, she found that her old ones were better equipped for scent-bound tasks - though vampirism wasn't too bad at it, it just seemed... less varied. As such, the woman would suddenly shift, from the pallid humanoid form to one covered in brown and spotted fur, akin to a hyena albeit still a bipedal.

Instinctively she'd find herself taking the lead as her nose twitched against the atmosphere, searching for scent paths. It wasn't hard to find, either: the scent of hormones and alcohol was strong. She'd lead them northwest, a direction she was unfamiliar with in these parts.

"Is she? What a small world then! She's fine though.. more or less. We've had a bit of.. drama between us but, it's of no ultimate consequence. I suspect she'll sort it all out eventually." Ivory didn't want to get into the details, seeing as they weren't all hers to share, but she at least wanted the man to know his friend wasn't doing too too bad.

Funny that that girl had had such a relaxed-type friend from Cait Shelter, though! She hoped that Cheshire would show her more of her own chill self one day, too. And if her former companionship was any indication, maybe it'd be quiet fun.

"Oh, no problem. I only use full force against enemies of OS. I have no desire to slaughter.. these fellas. I'm just here for the sake of a making a quick buck."

She'd lead them through a supposedly "random" route, twisting and turning through trees as she followed the collective scent of the so called Cotton-eye'd Joes.

"I think we're getting close.."

_{Feel free to NPC Ivy to lead them to wherever you imagine the Joes to holed up at. =) Or wait an extra post if ya wantsie haha. (Post 4)}

The current hyena-bodied female couldn't necessarily confirm or deny Cheshire's happiness, but she was certainly as safe as anyone could be in this day and age. Safer, even, given Asgard's powered inhabitants.

Ivory's attention was sorted toward the faint tracks in the grassy terrain, where wooden wheel tracks flatted some grass and cut through mud. Rain on top of a little time had made it more vague that one might typically expect, but it was notifiable nonetheless.

Her enlarged ears twitched at the laughter, which was closer than she could have anticipated - but given the heavy scents permeating the air, it made sense. Why hadn't they traveled farther away from the village, though? Inexperience, no doubt.

She'd close her eyes briefly, hiding the wild golden orbs of the mutant-beast she had overtook, and sniffed the air more intensely. After a few moments she'd make a guess, "I'd say no more than ten and no less than seven. Most of them smell young; riddled with overrun hormones. Teenagers, likely."

With a fang'd grin, she'd nod toward the area, "Men first?" She was curious to see how the CaS mage would approach the situation when left to his own devices.

The Underboss merely nodded in response, watching then as he moved away to circle the clearing until he was on the opposing end. His signal was indeed unavoidably noticbale, too, as black lightning manifested and shocked the collection of humans around their shabbily put together camp. Their screams made her currently sensitive ears quake with pain, and she'd quickly shift out of it, returning to her original species.

She had yet to test out the full extent of her vampirism - seeing as it was a new and unexpected development, and now would be a great time as any to test it. In simultaneous accord, Ivory and Orion left their obscure positions behind and entered the clearing. He aiming for one half to he group while she got the remainder.

Her body moved faster than she had expected, though, and she'd find herself literally smashing into the first stunned teen with the full brunt of her acceleration. He'd fly away, crashing into one of the guys on Orion's side. Sheepishly, she'd give an "oops" of a smile before turning to the other three.

This speed could take some getting used to. Damn.

_{Apparently you get newb version of Ivory as she discovers the pros and cons to her new gift  (Post 6)}

Fortunately for her, the three teens left on her side weren't too far away. She'd move, this time at a less enthusiastic pace, and managed to close the gaps without slamming into them full throtle. Her hands karate chopping all three in the back of the neck with ease. Although, for the last fellow, she knocked him out and tripped on her speed, suddenly tumbling into the campfire.

The fire had been put out but the coals were still hot, and she'd jump up almost as quickly as she had landed, holding back a vocal annoucement of the pain that shot through her rump.

Motherfucking Yeti balls!

As her hands cupped her ass, with a little dance of discomfort, she'd eye Orion and the armed teenager. The teen didn't take his words into consideration, despite the tremble of fear that nearly had his knees knocking. Instead he charged at Orion with all the courage he could muster, trying a wide sweeping attack with his machete in hand - but it left him wide open.

And she found herself thinking something she would never have thought before the turn: I hope one of them bleeds.
