Mercurius seemed to sense what Necro was doing, asking after the two left "What are you going to do?"
The cub just turned to walk off, holding Colby's hand again as he wandered off a ways. Not too far as to be put of sight though.
Remiel shrugged, looking thoughtful as he said "I'm not sure, but maybe you'll get some big job or two. If you really take up hunting and bounties, you can get into some pretty big jobs. Even as a human."

Necromancer didn’t respond until he was finished. He then opened his eyes and looked to Mercurius, “showing them that they can’t get away with what they just did. I’ve conjured orca like them. Though since they are of the spiritual realm they will ultimately be more powerful than them. They will take care of them.” He explained. “They don’t get to disrespect my team. Especially when all of you individually have more heart and talent in your pinkies than they do their whole bodies.” He then sighed before speaking just to Mercurius, they’re lucky they didn’t address you directly. I would have killed them myself right then and there.
Colby sighed saying, “they always talk about bad things ... I should be more accepting of it. I should be able to deal with it..”
”I want to try and get a few good bounties for sure. Though that may not happen with our current conditions.” Cally said, “I just want to be taken seriously really..”

The group listened curiously, and Rogue said "Hopefully they die. Or get severely injured. Orcs are knuckle-draggers." He hated orcs, mainly because of what they did to him. Aurus nudged him in a comforting manner as Mercurius listened in to what Necro said to him. Awh, look at you wanting to defend me. I'll have to thank you sometime~
The cub just shrugged. "You don't need to accept bad things. Bad things make you sad." And sad wasn't good.
Remiel listened just as their drinks were brought over. After the waiter left, he said "I'm sure there are jobs here you can find maybe, or you can get one of those "old legend" type jobs. With me or Fatid tagging along of course." The jobs Remiel mentioned were no easy task. They were like old relics left to rust, because they weren't exactly walks in the park.

You can thank me tonight~ Necromancer said simply, Its almost torturous not being able to love on you out in public. He joked. He then looked to Rogue and the others, “hey, don’t let them get to you. They’re just jealous.” He said, offering a small smile.
Colby nodded a little before resting his head on the cub’s shoulder, sighing softly, “thanks.”
“Huh. What are those missions like?” Cally asked curiously.

Rogue shrugged a little. "They're right though. I've got my archery, but I'm never going to be as good as any of these guys. You don't count because, well, you're a Warmaster." He was probably around 80% human at least, so he was severely crippled compared to the others. Aurus then said "You've got more heart than those jerks though, huh?"
The cub just flicked an ear. He then looked as some other monster kids walked over, looking at them curiously before one asked "Are you a human?"
Remiel blinked once. "Well, taking them all into consideration of difficulty, I suppose there's some that could suit you. One of them would be the capture of another hunter, who stole some very valuable things. Rabies, Anger of the Seven Sins, has escaped the island he and the other sins were put on. There is also a monster named Rubellus running around, eating others for their power."

Necromancer sighed. He wanted to make Rogue and the others happy by serving, but those orca were right. He needed some more heavy hitters. They only had two dark monsters to work with so far who were devoted to Ragnarok already.
Colby looked up, he then nodded quietly, “I am.” He said, offering a small smile.
“Huh. Well, how many other hunters have tried to complete these jobs?” Cally asked, wanting to know how many tried and failed to take what they had done into consideration.

(Aurus (magic/dark) and the Rorcal (water/dark) are dark monsters XD Rogue too but his fire and dark powers are like little sparklers compared to actual monsters. They're epic tier monsters tho so they're weaker. The only pure non-dark is Mercurius I think, but pure elements like Mercurius and Necromancer are stronger by default because of their raw elemental power. They're not versatile in the sense of having capacity for multiple elements, but they'll still yeet most monsters below them in one on one XD)
Aurus looked over at Necromancer. "You'll show them, I'm sure. Once word really spreads that you're rallying an army, they will come. It is in a monster's nature to respond to a Warmaster's call of their element." Though he supposed those who went to Ragnarok, who supposedly had no defined element, were drawn to his raw power rather than any connection of elements.
One of the kids, a Firesaur, sniffed at him curiously. "My pa says that humans males have fur on their faces. Why don't you have any." One of the others said thoughtfully "My mom says girls don't have the fur on their faces. This one's probably a girl."
Remiel shrugged. "A lot, but mainly trying to get Rabies and Rubellus. Gregorz got close to capturing Rubellus though, by drugging him, but the drugs wore off too soon and Rubellus got away. You're human though, so Rubellus would have no desire to eat you at least, as humans don't have any magic or powers."

((Oop- awakes. Scratch that then
“I hope you’re right. So far I haven’t had much luck. Almost no one wants to be recruited.” Necromancer said with a small sigh. He then took a break to order his food and drink.
Colby scoffed, “I’m not a girl! I’m a boy!” He squeaked. “Humans only grow facial hair when they’re older. And they can shave it off too.“ he said, crossing his arms.
“That could be a start. In what ways do you have to capture them? Where do you have to bring them? Do you need them dead or alive?” Cally asked.

After everyone ordered, Rogue said "Maybe you just haven't gone to the right places yet. I'm sure there's places out there that have monsters who will follow."
The kids looked skeptical. "Why would they want to shave their fur? Aren't they cold enough already?" One of them then said "They wear extra skin though. See?" He poked at Colby's shirt, and the cub lightly batted at the paw.
Remiel shrugged. "Well, for the rogue hunter you can just bring her in to a proper jailing facility unless you need to kill her. I'm pretty sure you can't kill Rubellus though, on your own. Just because he's eaten so many monsters, the power keeps him alive. You can kill Rabies though, but orders are always to return him to the Island with the other sins. Rubellus would probably need to he taken to the Chaos Fortress, where the particularly bad monsters go."

Necromancer looked a little impatient as he said, “and where do you suggest a place like that would be?” He asked, looking to Rogue and studying him carefully.
“H-hey..” Colby said as he backed up a step, putting a hand on the spot where the monster poked to cover it from them. “Haven’t you seen humans before?” He asked, “these are clothes to keep me warm. And to cover me because it’s not socially acceptable to not have them on in public.” He explained, remembering what his mother had told him.
“I might have to look into those jobs then. I’ll definitely have to train some before hand. There’s no way if last the way I fight now.” Cally admitted.

Rogue held up his hands. "I don't know for sure, though I do think if we went west we could find more dark monsters that might not be allied. Most of Ragnarok's forces are concentrated in the east and south."
They shook their heads. "No, npt where we've been. We just got here yesterday, to see the angels. Our parents have always wanted to see them. I wanted to touch their feathers, but mama said no."
Remiel nodded. "Do you want me or Fatid to go with you? Just in case?" He knew hunters had to do jobs on their own sometimes though.

Necromancer realized his attitude and regained his composure. “Oh, that’s insightful. Let’s head that way tomorrow then. No use in staying here any longer.” He then looked to the two new dark monsters, “you have until tonight to pack your things. Meet us by the west entrance of the city.” He told them. They nodded obediently.
“Oh. Well my older sister is dating an angel. Well I don’t know if he’s actually an angel.. but he has wings like one.” Colby said, “I don’t know why they’re together since my sister is a human and he’s a monster, but it’s okay.”
“I don’t know..” Cally said, “I don’t want anything to happen to either of you..”

Aurus nodded once, saying to the two new monsters "Welcome to the group, by the way. I'm Aurus." Rogue and the Rorcal, named Leesi, also officially introduced themselves.
The Firesaur kid shrugged. "If you have to ask if he is or not, he probably isn't. Well, a purebred one anyway. There are tons of angel hybrids though apparently. The Light Warmonger is one." He squeaked when his sister elbowed him while saying "It's Warmaster, featherbrain."
Remiel shook his head. "I could definitely help you with Rubellus at least. He is a Nature monster, while my element is Fire." Though Rubellus was a tank of a monster, even more than Fatid was. "The rogue hunter would be easier to go after, but Rubellus would be a fast track to a good reputation. Monsters might even seek you out rather than you having to look for jobs."

The two dark monsters smiled, "thank you." Bardan said, "I'm Bardan, but others usually just call me B for short. This is Corellia, my sister." He finished. Corellia waved shyly.
Colby couldn't help but giggle at this. He looked to the male Firesaur, "its okay. Its a big word. Big words are hard to remember." He said sympathetically.
"then maybe that should be the job I take." Cally decided, "but only if you split the prize with me. You would be helping out too so you deserve at least half of whatever payment we get."

Rogue and Leesi both waved, while Aurus just smiled. "So, where do you come from? Born here, somewhere else, etc?"
The male smiled at this, and his sister said "We're also here to see the fights. A lot of cool monsters are going to be there to show off to Uriel and his brother."
Remiel wanted to protest, but gave in and said "Fine, fine. Make sure you also obtain a gas mask. Just being near Rubellus will kill humans without proper protection, since he's essentially a huge, toxic mushroom with legs."

“We were raised here since we were very young.” Corellia explained, “but we were born wild. Our parents just decided to change their ways I guess.” She said with a shrug.
“Really? I didn’t know about that.” Colby said, “I just got here. When are you doing to see them?”
“Gotcha...” Cally said, “that will be fun to find.” She said sarcastically.

Aurus nodded a little. "I see. Well, I had a pack back home, but I decided to travel." Leesi explained having lived with a pod before, and Rogue lived with humans before being taken by orcs.
The kids smiled excitedly. "Later today, in... half an hour maybe. A lot of bigshots will be here! Voltaik, Sunblast, even Oikawa and Lamia! I even hear Timerion will be there, but an old fart like that will be destroyed in my opinion."
Remiel laughed. "I'm sure you'll be able to find one. The Wastelands have plenty of that stuff, if you can convince Roxen and Nexor to give it to you."

Corellia frowned a little at the mention of Rogue being taken. “I’m sorry to hear that..” she said, “I’m glad you got free from them and you’re safe now though.”
Colby shrugged, “well you never know, he could still fight well despite his age.” He pointed out. He then looked down, “it sounds fun. I wish I could go.”
“Alright, ill check it out then. If I bring the feathers I got from my last mission maybe they’ll accept that as a trade?” Cally thought out loud.

Rogue shrugged a little. "At least I'm stronger now, so they did something useful." At the expense of his well-being at nearly every turn, but still.
The cub then said to Colby "Ask." He glanced back at their babysitters, who were still there to listen to the panda talk about things less depressing than her father's troubles. The Firesaur kids then said "If you get to go, you can sit with our family."
Remiel nodded. "Definitely. One feather would be overkill though, so they'll probably let you leave with whatever you want." Sure, the Wastelands looked like a big trash heap, but the homes of those who lived there were full of treasures and useful things. Especially the kings of the Wastelands, which were Nexor and Roxen.

“There you go. That’s good. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger right?” Corellia said, offering a small smile.
“Okay!” Colby said before grabbing the Cuba’s hand again before running back to Fatid and Cris, tugging on their hands to get their attention.
Calmly nodded slowly, “that way maybe I could also get some other supplies for the trip.. anything else that you have in mind that will be useful.”

Rogue nodded a little, pointed ears twitching slightly. Leesi then said "Well, maybe those two jerks before are getting what they deserve as we speak."
Fatid looked down at the two, blinking once before asking "Yes?" The cub then just looked to Colby to speak.
Remiel thought for a moment. "Hmm... you might want to restock on bullets. Maybe even get a more powerful gun or crossbow from the twins. Rubellus is a tank of a monster, with very tough skin. Since we'll probably only be able to drug him, you'll want to coat whatever you use with some sort of sleeping agent."

“If not now they will be shortly. I’m sure we’ll hear of it tomorrow. Or even tonight.” Necromancer said calmly, “I don’t really care since they’re working with the other side.”
“Um.. we met a few friends over there.” Colby said while pointing back to where the two firesaurs were, “and they’re going to a-a fighting show and they said if you said it was okay then we could go with them and their families to watch. Can we go please?” Colby asked hopefully, “mom and dad would let me go!” He added, though it was only somewhat true. They’d let him go with them but not alone. But Criss and Fatid didn’t know that...
“Okay. Maybe along with the updated guns and bullet rest all I can try and get a tranq of some sort..” Cally said thoughtfully.

Rogue smiled at that. "Let's just forget about them for now then, and enjoy our food."
Fatid tilted his head. "Oh?" He looked to Criss. "There's still plenty of daylight left, and tons of freetime. Might as well spend some of it there." Meaning he and Criss would go too. They weren't letting the boys go alone.
Remiel nodded. "That would work. I'm sure they'll show you other things as well once you get there. Speaking off, when will you want to head out?"

"You dont have to tell me twice." Necromancer joked. As if on cue their food was brought over.
"Awww but we want to go on our own. We're responsible!" Colby said. He was not responsible. Too young to be.
"I dont know. I want to help my family settle into this new home." Cally said, "I want to make sure Colby is all set with enrolling in school too before I leave."

Rogue's slitted nostrils twitched at the smell of food, stomach growling as Aurus chuckled in amusement.
Fatid just tilted his head before looking to Criss to see what she thought.
Remiel nodded slowly. "Well, just let me know whenever you're ready to go." He then looked as their food was finally brought.

They were all served. Necromancer did a toast to their developing army before saying that everyone could dig in.
Criss shook her head, “Cally told us to watch you. We aren’t leaving you.” She stated. Colby pouted as he crossed his arms stubbornly.
“Alright.” Cally said, smiling a little. “As long as it works out for you as well.” She then took a break from talking to begin her food, eating daintily so she wouldn’t look like a slob or anything. Not that she was she was just being self conscious.

The group talked amongst themselves, speaking to the new monsters as if they were old friends.
Fatid then said "Exactly. Don't worry, you can sit with your new friends and all, but we have to keep you in our sights."
Remiel took his time eating. After a short time of silence he said "Maybe if you're ever close on your travels, we can stop by my human home. My human family has long since passed, but I still watch the generations come and go. They know me."

Once they were finally done Necromancer called the waitress over for the check.
Colby grumbled before giving in, "okay... I guess you can come." He said. Criss snickered as he turned away, "We should embarrass him a little." Just to tease, like what parents sometimes did to their own kids.
Cally listened and nodded happily at this. "Id love to meet your family!" She said, "I'm sure they're all lovely people." She then titled her head, "so, im assuming they're from your dad's side right?"

Leesi sat back with a smile. "Well, that was good. Maybe if we ever stop by again, we'll come here."
Fatid raised a brow at this before smiling slightly in amusement. "We should," he decided in agreement.
Remiel nodded. "My human side, yes. The original village itself is something of the past, but the current one is still in the same area." He missed his original home though. "Most of them are entirely human, but there are a few dragon hybrids running around." His human family wasn't picky when it came to partners, and he mentally snorted at the thought.

“Yeah, that seems like a good idea.” Necromancer said. He called the waitress over for the check, looking tired as he did.
Cross smiled a little before taking Fatid’s hand again to follow after Colby and the cub.
“Well good for them.” Sally said with a shrug, “at least they won’t be surprised about us being together if we ever decide to visit.”
