Fatid nodded, saying "Let's go. There's a cheap place we can go stay at, then we can head out and ask around about parties." As they walked, Cally got some curious looks from some monsters, but nothing bad. "I'll pay for the room this time."

Cally looked around the scenery as they walked, igniting the looks she got. That wasn’t something too new for her. The brunette looked up at Fatid, “you sure? I don’t want to pressure you or anything...”

Fatid shrugged. "It's fine. I have more money than you anyway. Keep it for now." When they found a cheaper inn, or "hotel" as called in modern places, they were given a key and soon in a decent room. "Alright, you can set your stuff down and we can head back out. It's been a while since I've even been back here."

Caroline set her her stuff down before sighing and rubbing her shoulder, resting her hands there to look at Fatid, “alright. Ready?”

Fatid nodded. "Yeah, let's head out." He held the door open for her so she could go first. "So begins our quest to not be single anymore." This would be interesting to say the least.

((I just realized they never introduced herself. Or Cally didn’t at least lmao
Calmly genuinely laughed at this, “the question is If it will be successful or not.”

(Oof, let's just say they have already xD)
Fatid huffed. "We're at least finding you someone, even if not at a party. There's an excuse for me to be alone, not you." He then said "I know where we can go to ask about it Galante's hosting a party tonight. Come on."

((LoL
Cally huffed, “come on stop saying things like that about yourself.” She didn’t really see what he saw in himself, then again she wouldn’t know because she only saw him as a friend. “And don’t just hand me off to someone because I will bop you one.” She said before nodding towards his suggestion.

Fatid snorted at that last comment. "I'm not." Arriving at a house, which looked to made of some really bendy trees and lots of leaves, a few tentacles shaped into a ball so he could knock. The door opened to reveal a rabbit about three feet tall, with white fur, bulbous red eyes and wearing purple shorts and matching helmet. The rabbit sniffed "Ugh, what?" Fatid snorted, saying "Just passing by, Rabooka. Wondering if Galante is hosting a party tonight by any chance." The little, or "large", rabbit huffed and said "Yeah, at his house on the west side of the city, not the north one. And why do you have a human?"

Cally stayed a little bit behind Fatid as they both talked. She peaked out from behind him as she listened to the rabbit. She then growled a little at the mention of her. The way he phrased the sentence made it seem like she was his pet or something. She bit her tongue though, knowing better.

Fatid grunted. "She is a friend." Rabooka looked suspicious, saying "She's a hunter. I can tell. Al likes to round up hunters. They make the most money for him at the auctions." The rabbit didn't seem to say it in a bad way, like he'd rat them out. "Now, go away. I'm working on my new exosuit."

Cally frowned at the mention of monsters selling humans. No matter how many times she heard it she hated the subject the same. Once they parted ways she looked to Fatid, “is he a friend of yours?” She asked.

Fatid nodded. "More or less. We've fought in tournaments together a few times. He's known for making exosuits and Egg Bombs, which he enchants to have random-ass spells so the enemies don't know how to counter really. Like a psychotic Easter Bunny." He huffed. "He's a good guy, but doesn't really like people in general." As they walked back out into the city, he said "Well, we have some time, so maybe we can get lunch or something and I can show you around. So you can better navigate without having me around all the time."

Cally nodded, “I can see that. Let’s hope he doesn’t tell what’s-his-face about me. They might be on the lookout if he did.” She then smiled a little, brightening up slightly, “okay. That would actually be really helpful, thanks.”

Fatid nodded. "Alright, come on. I'll show you the north district first, where all the restaurants, bars and shops are." He led her to the new destination, making sure to keep an eye out for any suspicious monsters. Especially dogs. "And after that I'll show you where you can go to pick up bounties and all that."

“Alright. Sounds good.” Cally said. As they walked sometimes Cally would lag behind Fatid a little to look around at the scenery and take everything in. She wasn’t really aware of the others around her though, and wasn’t as cautious as her monster companion.

Fatid glanced at Cally. "Someone's enjoying the scenery." He chuckled at that. He then looked ahead again, eventually reaching the first district he mentioned. There were restaurants, shops, stalls and more. Plenty of fliers around as well advertising things from movies to a circus. And fortunately no one really looked at Cally. Occasional glances, but nothing unusual.

“What, I cant help it!” Cally said as she caught up with him. She stated by his side when they reached the district, until she saw one of the fliers and immediately peeled off again to look at them.

Fatid followed after Cally, looking at the fliers as well. He grabbed one that mentioned something interesting. "Hey, there's apparently exhibits from the Beastiarium in town today. Want to go see?" The Beastiarium exhibits were examples of what the top tier hunters could do. "I assume they'd only bring live exhibits here as well."

Cally nodded, “alright. That did sound interesting.” She said, still looking at the other posters, “is it open all day? Maybe we could go after your tour.”

Post by Smokey Feather on Aug 19, 2019 11:39:03 GMT -5
Fatid nodded. "Yeah. We should be able to finish the tour, go to the exhibits and then head to the party, which will surely last into the morning." He then continued to show her around the shops and restaurants, telling her about some of them before continuing on.

Cally looked over to the places he pointed out with interest. This time she made sure to keep up with Fatid. She also asked questions along the way.

After showing her around a few more parts of the city, he said "Now we're going to where you can find hunting gigs." It was back toward where they started somewhat, a bigger building made of stone and had a few windows. Fatid held open the door for Cally, showing what seemed to be some sort of meeting room, with a booth on the other end of the place, with posters everywhere with various jobs.

Called thanked Fatid before stepping in. She looked around at the posters as she walked towards where the booth was.

The booth was where hunters picked up and turned in jobs, and Fatid said "If you ever want to do a hunting job, here's where. Most of them are killing jobs though. Well, a good portion of them."

“I can kill.” Cally said, “it’s what I was trained for and besides, some of these people are probably threats anyways.” She said, “life will go on no matter what, so why stress?”

Post by Smokey Feather on Aug 19, 2019 16:17:07 GMT -5
Fatid shrugged. "Alright, well it's up to you. Maybe ask around for suitable jobs though, cause sometimes newer hunters are stupid and bite off more than they can chew." Whenever she decided to anyway, assuming she'd take a job after today.

“I know. I’m definitely not the biggest or the strongest so I won’t take a job made for one.” She said simply, “I just need the payment.”

Post by Smokey Feather on Aug 19, 2019 16:48:09 GMT -5
Fatid nodded at that. "You'll be able to take bigger jobs as you get more experience either way." He then asked "I assume you'll come back here tomorrow or something to actually pick up a job?" He was serious about seeing her in action.

“Probably. But for now I’m going to lie low like planned.” She said, “there won’t be any trappers at the party, right?” She asked, looking a little concerned.
