Necromancer smiled down at Mercurius, “don’t get too cocky now.” He told him, “we don’t want to go into this over confident.”
Cally smiled as they danced, just having a good time with her friends. Criss looked to Fatid, “by the way, you’re looking good lately.” She told him, “not that you didn’t look good before!” She said quickly.

Mercurius nodded a little. "True, but the goal is to remain positive. Mostly." Having a grim outlook on the situation wouldn't do much good.
Fatid chuckled as he danced, telling her "Thank you. I think it's being around others that's helping me." Perhaps the social stimulation was good for him, giving him a more emerald color like a healthy plant. "I'm sure there are plenty better-looking than me though."

Necromancer raised an eyebrow, but smiled a little, “I suppose you’re right. Just don’t let your positivity blind you from the severity of the crisis of hand.”
“So maybe Cally coming across you was meant to be.. like it was made to help you heal a little.” Criss told him softly. She then scoffed, “no one here could even compare to you.” She told him, “don’t let your self consciousness get the best of you.”

Mercurius sniffed. "I know, I know. Especially since we could all die." Aurus then said "That's why we're doing this little round up, I assume. To lower those chances."
Fatid laughed at that. "You'd be the first to say such. Others would pick even that cub over me, I bet."

Necromancer nodded, “wasn’t that obvious? If I didn’t need help I wouldn’t have reached out.” He said firmly.
Criss raised an eyebrow, “well those who do are ****philes. And besides looks isn’t everything. and you have an amazing personality. And also you are not bad looking, so stop saying you are.” She told him.

Aurus shrugged a little, saying "You never know. Everyone has their reasons for doing things." Mercurius sniffed at that before saying "Point being that we need to stay alert and pick wisely." That last bit was for Necro mainly.
Fatid hummed. "You know what I mean. Anyone would point a finger literally anywhere else besides me for looks." Even a cub, who would probably win for cuteness anyway regardless. He then smiled slightly. "You're too kind, really." It was... different to have someone tell him such things. A good different though. "You definitely don't have to worry about looks though."

Necromancer nodded slightly, but stayed quiet for the moment, focusing on the path ahead.
Criss blushed a little, “thank you.” She said with a smile. “But really, you’ll make a woman very happy one day. She’ll be lucky that you chose her.”

(Skip to when the group gets to the next city?)
Fatid chuckled. "Maybe, but I've got some waiting to do. I doubt I'll end up with someone before you." He looked as a different song was started, moving to the beat as it did.

((Yeah sure
Criss shrugged, “well we could always just get together and not be so sorely single any longer.” She said, her tone a mix of joking and serious. She left it at that though.

Eventually the group arrived in the next city. Highwind, not as top tier as Crystalline, but a big place. Mercurius looked around curiously, saying "It's been a while since I've been here."
Fatid tilted his head. "Ah, you wouldn't be happy for long if that happened, if at all. Try your luck elsewhere with someone who's good for you."

“Neither have I. Though I have passed by a few times recently.” Necromancer told the group. Before he made it to watch the tournament a while back.
“And there goes your self doubt again. Know your worth Fatid. Don’t be so down on yourself all the time. It’s not heathy.” Criss told him, “besides, is it your position to tell me what I would feel?”

The others nodded again before Rogue asked "So, are we splitting up or something? To cover and scout more ground."
Fatid huffed a little. "I don't know, I just don't think we'd make a good pair." He was so used to being insulted and rejected by females anyway.

“You read my mind.” Necromancer. “Precisely. Spread the word about the recruitment. Don’t get distracted either we don’t have much time here.” About a day or so, as it took a while for monsters to come forward.
Criss shrugged it off, “we’ll if you feel that way then I won’t press you about it anymore.” She then looked around saying, having stopped dancing a while ago, “you know your right. Maybe I will find a monster here. A few have caught my eye.”

The group nodded, Rogue and the Rocal deciding to go one way while Aurus went another. Mercurius picked his own way, saying "I guess we'll all meet back here or something then, right?"
Fatid just studied Criss as she spoke. "I'm sure any of them would be happy to be with you." He'd never had any relationship experience, so it was difficult for him to be confident.

“Meet back here in a few hours.” Necromancer said before turning away, gesturing for Mercurius to come with him.
“I hope they are. I want to be good enough for them..” she said, looking to Fatid with a small sad smile, “guess I have to practice what I preach sometimes with confidence hm?”

Mercurius followed after Necromancer, smiling a little to himself. He had an urge to hold the other's hand, but held off when he recalled the conversation they had before.
Fatid sighed. "I'm sure you're more confident than I am with these things, so you will be fine. And if anyone treats you wrong, you tell me, alright? Even though I'm sure you can handle yourself just fine."

Necromancer seemed to be thinking the same thing, bringing Mercurius to an empty alley way before stopping, looking down at Mercurius before kissing him gently.
Criss smiled a little before nodding a little, “you’ve got my back huh?”

Mercurius blinked for a moment before kissing Necro back gently, his ears flattening slightly in shyness.
Fatid nodded a little. "Yes, be it for relationship matters or not. Not that I'd be able to provide any relationship advice. I'd just he around to beat up the guys who think they can hurt you." He grumbled at the thought.

Necromancer kissed him a moment longer, parting to say, “I’ve been wanting to do that all day~” he smiled a little before going back to kiss Mercurius again, taking advantage of the space.
Criss blushed slightly at his protectiveness before saying, “I’m going to go see if they have any vendors with food or drinks here. Want to come?”

Mercurius couldn't help but blush beneath his fur at that, just enjoying the closeness. He broke the kiss again after a long moment, saying "You read my mind~" He wished it could be in public, but as long as they were together.
Fatid glanced to the others before nodding. "Yeah, I'll go. We should have some time to ourselves before we need to watch Colby and... er... whatever that cub's name is."

Necromancer sighed softly, kissing Mercurius’ forehead before moving back, “we have work to do though sadly.”
Criss nodded. She then shrugged at the mention of the cub, “it’s a new monster, so I suppose he’ll get to chose his own name.” She said as he took Fatid’s tentacle like Gand to help lead him out of the busy crowd.

Mercurius nodded a little at that. "I'm sure we can set some time aside some point in the future though~" He smiled teasingly before heading back out of the alley.
Fatid smiled slightly at the contact. Partly because of the hand-holding, and partly because he was relieved to no longer be oozing like a toxic mess.

Necromancer smirked a little, eying Mercurius a little from before before following after him. “I suggest we try going to a training ground. But if that doesn’t work we can try something like a bar again.”
Criss looked around for a short while before finding a stand that seemed to have good food.

Post by Smokey Feather on Jan 23, 2020 11:06:16 GMT -5
Mercurius nodded in agreement, saying "A training ground sounds good. We'll see actual fighters there instead of hoping at a bar."
Fatid studied the rabbit running the stand. Signature tattered clothes, wearing bones as a mask, a Skuller. The food definitely looked more inviting than she did though.

Necromancer was already leading the way to the training ground he had in mind, not missing a beat as others made comments about his and Mercurius.
Criss stepped up to the stand, asking the rabbit what she had.

Mercurius tried not to look as the crowds talked about them. He just followed Necro to the training area, watching various monsters sparring with each other and exercising their powers.
The rabbit adjusted her mask a little, staring at the two with beady eyes. "The best is what I have! Fresh produce, but also cooked stuff like these rabbit haunches." Fatid studied her, asking "You're a rabbit selling rabbit meat?" The female shrugged, saying "They're not mine. I also have some fish going here, but it'll be about another two minutes or so. Smoked to perfection!"

Necromancer smiled a little down at Mercurius to reactive him as a few people already began to create rumors and assumptions. He looked towards two monsters who were sparing, both looked big and were in the midst of a tense fight.
Criss thought fo a moment before looking to Fatid, “what do you think? I don’t know what I want.”

Mercurius tried to ignore the others as they spoke, just looking to the match and watching the monsters spar.
Fatid hummed thoughtfully. "That fish smells good, actually. I was thinking about trying it when it's finished." The Skuller watched them closely, beady eyes studying them as they made their decision.

The monsters fighting were a Rockilla and an Electrex. It was a strange matchup, but the by the way the two were talking as they fought it seemed they were friends.
Criss nodded, “I’ll take two fish. I’ll pay for them now even though they aren’t ready yet.”
