“I'm super sure,” he replied. The words he started to choose were beginning to make him feel strange. The more he replied, the nicer he seemed to be becoming. Ever since the napalm girl, things like this just kept happening.
“Actually, yeah... let's get outta here.” Bandit started to lead the way. He knew where he came from, so he instinctively moved opposite of where they encountered the threat.
“Oh, yeah – uh, no problem.” He was becoming awkward. It was a nigh impossibility to him, but there he was, fumbling over his own words. “I'm just gonna head to some place with food or drink in a nearby town. I'm sure there's one a those around... Won't take long to get there. A bit more rest and I can just do that thing I did back there and we'll nearly be there.”
Perhaps she wanted to do something on her own, or accompany him to his new destination with or without his speedy antics. Their previous task could wait – or for all Bandit cared, could be pawned off on another member of the Southern Wolves.
[THEAD END! WE DID IT \O/]

“...We've found it.”
Helios stopped in his tracks. Legs bent, arms out, he was attempting to be as quiet as he could. It was a shame that nobody was able to execute their steps with enough elegance for the creature to not poke its head up and turn an eye directly towards the three.
“It- uh, it sees us,” Bandit stated as obvious as that was. Even so, for a moment, the one after it wanted to think otherwise.
“Shh!” And with that, it scampered off.
“Everyone! After it!” And he ran forward without confirming that anybody else was doing the same. He sprinted after it, throwing balls of fire at it. It matter not if it was hit, it did not seem to care all that much.
Bandit was running after him, but not doing anything. Just kind of watching the whole situation unfold.
“...Yeap.”

70 AC, a mission ft. Natalie

“Yeah, maybe,” he agreed – at least replied in a vaguely agreeable manner. A question about his attention glutinously focused upon his fist pulled his gaze from it and onto Natalie. The sensations he was feeling in that closed hand was something that took the majority of his awareness. It appeared that around then, give or take an additional moment after Natalie's question, that he was ready to open it.
“Can you hold onto this for me?” he asked as he tossed an object towards her. It was a small, spherical object. Appearing to be composed of a variety of transparent glass, dim, small lights ostensibly speckled the interior. It possessed a certain otherworldly beauty.
“His other hand. I plucked it straight out of the middle of it. Couldn't not seeing it loose and half fallin' out.
I think there's somethin' to it – like somethin' useful, but not much to me, I don't think.”
Natalie Chevalier ITEM NAME: Spell Focus TIER: n/a ITEM DESCRIPTION: An object that makes concentration and pooling magical power slightly easier as long as its within the user's possession. It is a small, spherical object that seems to be composed of a variety of transparent glass with small speckles of light inside.

“Oh, yeah?” Bandit replied. Of course, the tone was dismissive, nigh automatic in its delivery. Inwardly, he thought it sounded like it would make an adorable pet. Though, he was hardly going to admit it.
“That sounds about right. And that's what we're after, but the colour's off. It was more... of an orange that last time I saw it.” Helios brought a finger to the tip of his chin as he dove deeper into his session of memory retrieval.
“No, no – you were correct when you said lizard.” He was quite adamant about correcting her.
“And it was around this area...” His voice became hushed and his steps far more cautious. “If we're careful, we can catch it promptly.”
"Eh," Bandit grunted, assumedly complying.

That was never something one wanted to hear; 'this is going to hurt.' Though it did, it was followed by at least some relief. Bandit cast a glance down at his arm, then moved his focus elsewhere as he looked about the area.
“We ain't fighting that,” he replied.
“And it doesn't seem to be lookin' for us either, so I'll just leave that as it is. I'm definitely not gettin' paid enough to deal with that and neither are you.”
Regardless of whether or not she was finished restoring him or not, he moved away and looked off towards nothing in particular. It seemed as if an air of contemplation settled over him. The entire time, Bandit had his fist closed. He opened it and cast a glance down upon whatever it was that he was clutching.

What Almost Was, a mission ft. Kin

That whole exchange had a stubborn smirk etched onto the beastkin's face. Somehow, it appeared as if Kin managed to elevate the creature's mood. Then again, the trickster spirit was definitely a difficult one to mess with.
“It does.” He said nothing more. The guesses Kin produced grew ever-the-more ridiculous and he felt obligated to supply an answer or the whole journey would be riddled with asinine guesses.
“I may have been misleading. We aren't not felling a beast, but catching one. This beast...
is a Salamander.”
Silence from Bandit. He turned his attention towards him and said...
“...the fuck is that?”

But suddenly, Natalie Chevalier was staring at Bandit's back.
When did that happen?
There was a burst of light, a searing heat that approached seemingly between the very ticks of the sweep-second; but then there Bandit was, standing there. Somehow, he even found the time to turn to her and take hold of her. Each hand grasp around the bicep area and suddenly, the two of them were gone.
A burst of speed bridging upon insanity, Bandit set the girl down after the whole of the environment was but a blur to her and now their surroundings were very different than they were prior.
“Yeah... no, enough of whatever that was, huh?” He actually chuckled – likely the first time she witnessed such a thing, albeit done through a wince.

“Uh-”
Bandit did not like the sound of a 'stress test' nor the oddities with the voice that wove the alien words. Time did not allot him to even bear his fangs. All he managed was a meager shift of weight, a slight turn to the side and a brandishing of one, elevated, bracing arm.
The fist collided with a sickening crack. The impact tore Bandit from his feet. Both him and the projected fist were airborne and as it finally retracted, Bandit was left to sail another handful of feet before crashing into the ground in a nigh ceaseless tumble.
In a tragically comedic fashion, the only aid lent to him by his partner was an ill-timed, far-too-late, “look out!”
“...Thanks...” The utterance was made in a pained hush, plump with sarcasm and dismissal. His thoughts were far removed from her and re-routed completely towards the animatronic youth.
'Can't find an opportunity to strike against something like that...' he thought with an ire-filled glower. Despite his inability to react to what it considered a 'stress test,' his hunched posture shifted until some semblance of a readied stance took shape.
“Alright, try that shit again...”

Hm. Grotesque.
Catching sight of Bandit's behaviour did little but invite regret. He rather turn his attention towards the task at hand than what it had fallen upon. Such was obvious. There was a distaste he was experiencing, which was visible on his face.
“Careful or I'll get laid? Oh, no!” Bandit encompassed himself in a suffocating, stifling aura of sarcasm. He pressed his hands up against the sides of his face in pantomimed, disingenuous shock and gasped. The sharp intake was done like a parent would to a child to feign legitimate surprise.
They were on their way. During the journey, Helios saw fit to answer Kin's question.
“To fell a beast – or rather, at least attain something from it. It will be well worth my efforts.”

There was not enough spine in the world for them to do anything but just hand Bandit what jewels they were owed. They could easily feel the fluctuation in temperature. The heat only added to the perspiration collecting on their forehead.
“Thank ya kindly,” Bandit replied as if nothing was the matter. It was hardly gratitude. It was closer to a mean-spirited jest disguised as a humble expression of appreciation. Unfortunately, neither received a farewell. They skittered off after receiving Bandit's signal that all was well and they could leave.
Bandit turned around and offered Jerusalem exactly half of what was given him.
“And that's your half,” he declared.

“Alright, okay,” Bandit began. It was not really a response to Jerusalem, but an attempt at having his train of thought jump from one set of tracks to another. “Yeah, right... what was I doing again?”
With that, he admitted that for the moment, he forgot what it was that he was doing. Bandit took the opportunity to move his head from one side to the other, allowing crinkles and the shifting of bone to verbalize itself.
“Right! Money! I got these fangs, which I'm keeping; but this'll serve as proof. Let's head back and grab money.”
With that, Bandit started in the direction from whence he came. When he arrived in the village, the same body as before was waiting for him. They just waited there, having taken into account the direction he headed to fell the beast.

Bandit shrugged - openly so with a wide, pantomimed gesture.
He did not have anything to add; but knew some kind of answer would present itself upon their return. There really was nothing that jumped out from the shadows to assault them. So, Bandit returned from the cavern and back into the open. As expected, the boy was sitting right where the two left them.
"You found it." He extended his arms. The robotic hands at the ends clutched at the air in anticipation Upon catching sight of that, Bandit smirked. It really was just a child.
He approached and handed him the leg. "I'm not sure what yer gonna do with this, but here y' go."

Pleased that he was able to siphon an answer from her, he allowed a simper to slip atop those uppish lips of his.
“That'll do,” he said with complete and utter brevity. “Then to the Plagio Wood.” It was around then did he receive the other individual's name – or what he liked to be called according to Kin. It was amusing enough to Helios that he chuckled.
“Oh, does he?” he asked with amused suspicion. Hardly did he actually question it. It was difficult to tell what was creating that expression of his. Was it the beastkin being at the butt of Kin's joke or was it her juvenile attempts to rustle him? Helios turned a curious eye to Bandit, who actually had a smirk in place. His expression read, 'what can you do?' as he openly shrugged.
“It's Bandit, but I know I'm cute as fuck – so if you wanna really drive it home with pet names, go ahead. Just don't do it too much.” He swilled his hips. “I may not be able to keep things business if you start makin' things too spicy.”

Someone else approached. Her greeting went not to him, but the, as accurately described, small raccoon. Just his gaze shifted to her. His head did not move, nor did his torso or neck. It was an odious side glance and because side glaces were forced and mildly uncomfortable to perform, real intention was made to execute it.
Meanwhile, Kin was staring face to face with Bandit, who turned his head towards her before she could impishly cast out her first, 'hey-'
He just... stared. There was no greeting from him. He assumed there was intent to surprise him, but with bolstered senses from the animistic portion of him that she mocked, it proved difficult.
The stranger cleared his throat. “...Yes. Just that. You two seem to know each other. Do you possess abilities as well? I would like the hire the both of you. Of course, I will pay you.”
“The opposite, actually,” Bandit replied, but it was to Kin.
“And my name is Helios,” he interjected.

“Jesus...” Bandit didn't even know who that was. He looked towards the bag he placed the two fangs in.
“I'm glad I got those before all of that.” Anybody could tell that the creature was done for the day. Besides it wearing a coat of its own electricity, it was constricted with giant insects composed of napalm. The stuff was potent enough to melt stone. It proved more than enough to melt it.
But she really was not kidding. She had control over both lightning and a substance that intensified the heat of the flames it was set to. The worst thing was, she was like him. How the world had not ended yet was beyond Bandit. In fact, he would ask just that.
“...How... haven't you just ended the world by now?”
