"As any wise predator would." Farlow frowned. It seemed there was no dissuading the man. He didn't want to track the ice-user for Masaki if it meant leading him to his death. Although Masaki had the correct element to fight the ice-user, from what he'd heard so far, the ice-user would likely take advantage of Masaki's wounds from the last battle.

(If there is any you are particularly interested in, let me know.) --- (I still don't know for sure though. XD The design might end up completely different. The power source will be different for sure.) (Sure! That's a fun idea! ^^ I'll do some research on it and pretend I'm smart.) The ground began to rumble and the junkyard clattered with the vibrations. A plume of smoke burst from the old fridge door they had just exited, and some of the junkyard seemed to collapse into itself. "WHAT WAS THAT???" Zed called, as he settled on a hill far enough away from explosions that it wouldn't be affected. "I can't hear you over this noise!" He grinned behind his mask, though his grin sobered when it settled upon the sunken junkyard. It seemed he'd 'accidentally' gone overboard again. He made a few mental notes of improvement. --- "It's a crystal that makes you run fast. What else is there to know?" Blink replied simply, stating the obvious. "I'd be careful if I was you. A weird crystal like that, from a stranger could be dangerous. Who knows what else it might do to you..." That was a lie. If he had a crystal that made him fast, he would likely be racing around the city, enjoying his new blissful freedom. And yet Hornet was still here, sharing a meal with him. Blink's eyes narrowed, as a new thought occurred to him. --- The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Orion had killed Holly. Why did it make sense? Maybe it was because Ollie simply wanted someone to blame other than himself. "I don't know," he murmured to Enix's comments about the Darkest Hearts. He'd heard about it, but he still didn't fully understand it. Ollie nodded at Enix's suggestions. He didn't even bother arguing about Blink. Even though the man was normally untrustworthy and self-serving, he'd been feeling a strange difference in him recently. Maybe the guy really could change. "The more, the better. We'll need to work together, so he doesn't end up picking us off one by one. Or... at least our powers." If Orion's goal was to destroy the world, why leave Enix alive? From what he'd heard, Orion had an opportune chance to do away with her, as horrid the thought was to lose another precious friend. So, why didn't he? What was he going to do with these powers he gathered? Holly's, now Enix's. Not only could he take them, but he could use them as well. None of this boded well. "I could expend some of my energy to keep the place a secret from others, if needed." --- Masaki was a fiery thing with a strong heart. Farlow respected that. "And what if that leads to a pointless death? I may not know of whom you speak, but know this. The one who hunts the predator must be prepared, or he will become the prey." Enix nodded, “I don’t know much about the curse either, but it should be dead now? Right? Holly said ‘4 people’ and now she’s gone.” She commented, before frowning. “And we probably need to go into hiding, Orion will target us, and if he gets Karma’s powers, Freak’s, Hornet’s, Blink’s or your’s, it’s pretty much game over for us.” She added, before smiling softly. “And we need to watch out for anyone and everyone. If Orion gets a deceptive ability, he can sneak up on us.” She nodded at his last suggestion, “Just don’t overexert yourself, we’ll have to Cassandra and Ress’ base soon.”

Masaki turned his back to Farlow and leaned against the edge of the building as he looked out to the city "So you got any hints for me as to how to find this guy? I'm not expecting you to help me take him down or anything, just looking for some advice" he said

(Nice! It's always sweet when you get the classes you want. ^^ Not that I could say much about it. I still don't know what I want. XD) --- "Yeah. Maybe," Ollie murmured. He nodded some more at her other suggestions. "I could let Blink know. I know where he lives, and I wouldn't be surprised if Hornet was with him." During the fight, he had caught a brief glance into Blink's mind, and the one they called Hornet was one of the first things he found. He let out a soft sigh. "I just hope he listens." --- Farlow huffed softly and seated himself on the short wall. "He'll take advantage of any weakness. You know that, right?"

Masaki didn't look back at Farlow but nodded regardless "I know" he said "Which is exactly what I want him to do. If he wants to take advantage of my weak spots then he is going to have to get in close and that's where I am at my best"

Farlow gave a low, thoughtful hum. He burned with indecision for several moments, his eyes closing. After a few minutes, he let out another sigh, giving in. "If you have something of his, I might be able to track him." His eyes opened and he watched Masaki's back with an unreadable gaze.

Post by Lioncl on Aug 8, 2019 23:09:23 GMT -5
Masaki hung his head "Shit. If I had known that there was someone that could track him I would have at least torn or burned off a piece of his clothing but he ran away before I even got close to the chance." He said

Then again, if the culprit was an ice-user, he might not carry much scent. It depended on how his powers worked. "If you take me to the place you last saw him, I might be able to pick up something," Farlow added, dropping down from his perch on the short wall. His feet only lightly shifted the gravel.

Masaki turned around as he heard movement from Farlow's direction but he visibly perked up as he heard what Farlow had said. He followed after him before stopping beside Farlow. "Thanks for this, I'll lead you there now. I can only hope that there is some trace that will lead me to him" he said

Post by Light on Aug 9, 2019 1:14:03 GMT -5
Farlow nodded. It was decided. If he could find a scent, he'd lead Masaki to the ice-user; if he couldn't, then it simply wasn't meant to be. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Farlow disappeared. Where his feet were moments before, a black-footed ferret stood. It skittered towards Masaki, speedily scaled his leg, up his back and onto his shoulder.

Masaki stopped himself from jumping when Farlow started to climb up his leg "Why dont you just use that form to stay near your master? Just act like your his pet around everyone else until you are ready to introduce yourself to the others" He asked curiously "Also neat trick just warn me before you do that next time"

Farlow chittered at the word, pet. He couldn't speak human-talk in this form. In fact, this was the original form he had met his master, though he wouldn't have called himself a pet. A companion perhaps, but certainly not a pet. He had remained close until that fateful day that Ollie fought his double and they both disappeared into the forgotten realm, neither returning for many months. When Ollie came back, Farlow had already started a new life.

Masaki rolled his eyes "Alright I get it you don't like the word pet" he said as he kept walking "Didn't think it was a sore subject for you since you're already calling him master so I just assumed that was your relationship. Sorry about that"

It might seem that way, but Farlow called Ollie master for other reasons. It could be called a misshap in translation. Farlow sat on Masaki's shoulder and puffed out his chest, tilting his nose into the air. Farlow was a wild thing. A thing with his own heart and will. Being called a pet was like a mark on his pride. Sure, someone might get ideas, seeing his position on the shoulder of a human, but Farlow considered it a sign of respect rather than a mindless action of undue affection.

Masaki looked at the ferret on his shoulder "I'm just glad all you did was squeak in my ear rather than start chewing on me like some rabid animal" he said "Then again you're intelligent so I'm sure you only resort to that when you need to"

Post by Light on Aug 9, 2019 20:53:22 GMT -5
Farlow's small eyes blinked at Masaki's face. If a ferret could smile, that's exactly what Farlow did. He let his claws pinch lightly on the skin of Masaki's shoulder, as a sort of tease.

Jerome grunted as he was slammed to the ground.So it seemed like someone was a very annoying person.Not at all cute."Ok so this can go two ways.One you stop using gravity to your advantage and I don't nuke you.Or two you keep this going and I find out what cooked snake tastes like." "You bluff," Snake hissed, lifting Jerome again. How was this guy so durable? It seemed he needed more force. "How about inssstead, I give you a healthy dossse of pain!" Snake's hood stretched out to make him look bigger and he spat venom with remarkable aim at Jerome's eyes. He'd heard the man could turn to metal, but surely he couldn't turn his eyes to metal as well! Or at least, so the snake thought. (Here's the last bit. ^^) --- It seemed he was going to use his firepower to fly again. Farlow had first seen it when Masaki had flown up to the rooftop. Fire, a fascinating, yet ever so dangerous element. The ferret braced himself, using his claws to hold on, but made sure they didn't pierce into Masaki's skin.

"Here we go" Masaki said as flames started to burst from his feet as he took off into the sky. He elevated himself to just above a 3 story building and started heading in the direction of where he had last seen Boris the ice user. His hands suddenly burst into flames as he used those almost like a steering wheel. When they arrived, Masaki positioned himself upright as he slowly descended to the ground before landing. "We're here. I hope that I didn't frighten you with my driving" he said with a smile on his face

Farlow's claws pinched a little when Masaki moved his arms, and he eyed the flames hands warily. When they landed, his grip relaxed. At Masaki's words, he chittered, as if that was nonsense. Farlow scrambled down Masaki and onto the ground, where he began to sniff around. He paused, and looked to Masaki, as if asking where exactly the ice-user had stood.

Masaki walked over to the place where he and Boris had fought earlier that day. Out of the corner of his eye he could still see some of Steve's blood from where Boris had shot him with icicles. He mainly stayed in this vicinity during our fight so his scent should be strongest here if he left anything" he said

(Thanks) As he felt the venom hit his eyes he burst into laughter."I'm already blind,what's that gonna do?"He was getting a little bored now so he decided to spike.Not the little studs that felt like a blunt object but the kind of spikes that you saw outside walls of bases in TV shows.He spiked,the spikes reaching a foot long.

Farlow paused by Steve's blood and sniffed it. Recoiling, he gave it a wide berth, as he made his way to where Masaki stood. Once there, he padded around in a circle, bringing in all the scents he could. He could smell Masaki's fiery scent, the victim who smelt of mushrooms, the sweet fragerence of a child, a thicker, almost metallic scent of another man, and... hardly recognizable, it was something cold, the man whom Masaki was intent on chasing. He'd found it. Having given his word to Masaki, he knew he had to carry it through. Fire and ice. Although part of nature, both were a fearsome trial to most animals. Farlow shivered, but without complaint, he lifted his nose to the air. Scents whirled around, but he managed to single in on one scent. The scent of the ice-user Masaki had spoke of. He gave a churr to alert Masaki and started bounding away in his ferret form. --- (Any time! ^^)
Snake hissed. What was this man made of? He had originally spat the poison with the intention of the pain it would bring to the eye, with the blindness as only a side bonus. When Jerome extended his spikes, it shoved Snake's tail away from Jerome . Some spikes managed to pierce between the unnaturally tough scales. Snake hissed in pain, and flung Jerome to the ground, his tail withdrawing.

A wide grin appeared on Masaki's face as he watched Farlow catch on to Boris' scent and chased after Farlow. "You got an amazing nose if you could smell him after this long" he said "So are you not able to track in your humanoid form? I mean I thought you'd be able to since you still somewhat look like a ferret. I thought your senses would be much even further heightened in your human form"

The transformation once again happened in the blink of an eye, and Farlow never broke a step. One moment, the ferret was bounding along and the next, a humanoid was swiftly striding with the tail of his cloak fluttering behind him. "We ferrets need it," Farlow explained with a bit of a smirk. A few strides later, he continued with a chuckle, "What? You like me better in this form? I can scent just as well, but the time I can spend like this is limited."
