To say they were rusty now was an understatement, Rex suddenly understood as the gun was leveled at them. They didn't move as fast as they could, and pain was ripping through them too harshly, like they never felt it before. Worst of all was the lack of mental preparation for danger. This time, it was Anzu who didn't react, and given the state of their body, it was disastrous.

What the? What's that Rex?

Non-lethal or not, being shot in the face with a big gun like that hurt like crazy, and Rex's eyes widened as he felt a fang crack under the impact. Immediately, some of his Anzu features fell away, Anzu itself retreating away from the human pain. The lion-like face of Rex's almost fell away, but doggedly persisted even as Anzu's whines filled his mind.

Ow! I don't like this anymore! We're to lose!

"Just a little longer!" Rex snarled, leaping forward once more. He didn't expect victory, not the way he was, but it wouldn't hurt to push him and Anzu even more. A bellow shook the air as he took another flying leap, aiming to smack away the gun and launch himself again for another crushing tackle, though he was aware it brought him back into easy attack...

MISSION NAME: Pig in a Sheet
CLIENT: The good citizens of Shale Town
CHARACTERS: Closed. Rex and Ivory Volkov
MISSION BRIEFING: Shale Town isn't exactly known for having the most supplies in the world, which makes this particular event exciting for the local citizens. A team of boars have been spotted outside the Town, and although it is not known how many there are, or why they were here in the first place, the citizens have asked Odin Spear to send a hunter or two. Beware, their tusks were visible even from afar.

Even with the prospect of fresh meat, Rex did not look happy...and why would he? The boars could be long gone by now, but here he was on a wild goose hunt...wild boar hunt? Whatever He called it, it didn't change the fact that he was walking through crushed vegetation in the hopes that it even led to something alive, and, in boredom, he found himself staring at his feet as he walked. Avian feet, flying would be easier, but it was a waste of energy, and he would scare away prey easily if they ran through as Anzu.

Keep eyes up! We hunt.

Great, and Anzu was on good work ethics for once, wasn't that just fantastic? And he had said he was pointlessly hunting, but he wasn't exactly alone, now was he?

Sighing, he turned his eyes on his companion. The girl had wolf ears a lot, right? "Hey...er...you, you got the nose of a dog, or just the ears?"

Rex could practically feel the walls of the situation falling around him. Reticulum wasn't exactly asking him, was he? Besides, there was somebody else crowing in his head, and he felt his heart beat faster in an excitement that came from the other presence in his mind.

We haven't fought in so long!

A refusal started to form on his tongue, and abruptly died, not by Anzu's will, but his own. Wasn't this great? He knew for a fact that he wasn't going to die in a spar, and Anzu wasn't wrong? When had the fought seriously in, ever? They had to be getting rusty, no, no, that wasn't good, rusty meant dead against another mage!

"...You got yourself a deal. I'm Rex. Nice to fight ya, Reticulum." His talons dug into the ground, already tense, given this guy, he expected the fight to begin at any moment, and wasn't quite sure whether the desire to begin rising in his throat was his or not.

Quinn Stormgarde

Friendly guy. Rex silently considered being suspicious, and decided to take the name at face value. His own name couldn't hurt, right? He had nobody to connect to by his name anyway. "Hm...never heard of ya, I'll be honest." He commented, taking the hand with some caution. "I'm Rex Bello, nobody special."

"You have enough for drinks?" A large smile started to cross Rex's face, despite himself, "You won't have any trouble here then, we barely get by, but we sure as hell got drinks!"

Whoever had approached both didn't leave and wasn't attacking him, so this situation felt like a mixed signal through and through. A complete stranger asking another stranger for some directions? Weird...

Lost man? Doesn't seem a danger.

"You're right." He mumbled to himself, rising to his feet. He knew he didn't seem the most trustworthy person, what with his vaguely inhuman appearance or the fact that he apparently didn't feel the need to put down the rat. What? It was his kill, he wasn't wasting some perfectly good meat!

"Yeah, yeah, you do seem lost." He looked over the stranger, coming to a conclusion. If they were going to be a threat, it'd be obvious by now, and they would have struck while he was hunting. Guess he could help. "Ya got anythin' to offer? Food, water, something? Might even get to sleep free if ya help them out." He asked quickly, trotting towards the man before stopping a good, safe distance away. Couldn't be too careful, after all.

The second home of metal! Great sleep there!

Huh, Anzu seemed eager too. "We know a place. Can't say it's nice." Rex's tone was easy enough, and he jerked a head towards where he remembered, not turning away completely, "Wanna go?"

Avery Hall

If Rex ever got wind of this scholar that knew lots, he would probably go to try and meet. He could be a valuable source of new knowledge, considering his curse and being with a lesser divinity inside him, and would probably offer this as study in return for at least an idea of what did this to him. He doesn't want Anzu removed anymore, but would definitely like to either destroy whatever did this to him, or force it to make the process more natural, just to make his situation a little easier.

...or They could, you know, run into each other and have a chat, Rex habe learned some things, living so long.

Ther junkyard that was Shale Town was usually not much for, you know, sustaining life. Then again, neither was this world, and look what was still running around! In particular, rats. Oh boy, rats were everywhere! And nobody was more happy about it than a certain somebody.

That one. I want that one. I want it. Want it. Rex!

"Yeah! Yeah! I got it, your stupid claws don't help, why don't you take them away...can't?" He smirked as Anzu went silent, only for his eyes to catch a movement. Rat! Stupid Anzu instincts! But rat, and they were hungry! In the corner of Shale Town, a man with feathers sprouting from his arms pounced and raised his prize triumphantly, falling back on legs that bent more like a bird's than a humans.

Whatever was nearby, he waved a hand impatiently at any movement, not bothering to look up, "This one's mine, steal anything, but not mine!"
