genessia | first hunt [action]

GENESSIA COMMONSPACE
[ The groggy haze hasn't yet exactly worn off this demon hunter here and Nero finds himself crashed on the bed he has in this (temporary) room of his. Arm draped across his eyes, he's about five seconds away from conking out where he hopes when he wakes this will all be a bad dream, when the sound of WHATEVER THAT IS keeps him from doing so. With a scowl, he throws himself off the bed, yanks open the door (and nearly off its hinges oops) and- ]

Hey! You wanna keep it down?!

[ He'll just yell that down the hall to whoever or whatever that is. ]

GENESSIA CITY
[ Moving down the streets with a scowl on his face (not like he ever wears another expression) is a white-haired, sword strapped to his back with a glowing blue arm guy. He's heard the spiel about this place, is annoyed with this whole kidnapped by spirits shtick going on here, and can't remember the last time he actually ate something so that's where he's headed. Or hopes he is.

The first food place he finds, he drops some of those red bills down and asks what he can get with some of this and, as he waits for his food to be brought to him, if you're staring, he's gonna feel that... even address you without looking over. ]

Take a picture, it'll last longer.

[ That, or, he's going to be sitting there at whatever table is available, head in his hands and clearly just DONE with this place already. ]

A trouble magnet at home, huh?

[The corgi lets out a tiny little 'boof', before getting up and waddling around Nero, sniffing loudly]

You're in luck, so's essentially everyone else here. So at least you won't be alone when shit goes down, I can only assume everyone else will be in the same miserable shit filled boat.

[ He's about to object to that when he suddenly has a small dog waddling around him and Nero sort of just... stares for a long moment. Hopefully it doesn't start biting him if he doesn't like demons? Even those who are part demon. ]

Yeah? Well, that's great. Gotta say though, I prefer to do things on my own.

[ As he still eyes that dog. ]

Oh! That's also essentially everyone else here!

It's why things go right to hell every time that aforementioned shit starts trending downwards. It's hilarious, really. You make a species based towards pack instincts and then everyone wanders off in random directions.

[Midge doesn't seem too concerned about biting, just snuffling and snorting loudly around Nero's feet, before, frankly quite boldly, trying to jump up and sniff that very interesting arm of his.]

[ Nice dog... good dog...

The bold little jump on the dog has Nero step back for a moment, blue eyes staring down in slight confusion before he comes to give a soft tch under his breath at those words. ]

Let me guess... you're not part of that species?

[ Guessing he's meaning humans, of course. ]

[That 'boof' is now a full fledged 'BORK'. Short and to the point, no more borks after that, but Midge seems to be pretty content with what he's found, nubby tail going a mile a minute as he bounces back to Szel.]

Not even vaguely.

So, more of a lefty, over there?

[ So, his suspicions seem to be confirmed there. As for the left-handed remark, Nero comes to pull his right hand back a little behind his coat, looking to the man with a raised brow. ]

Got a problem with that?

Do you?

[The amusement in his tone is as clear as day]

Why so defensive?

Why so curious?

[ Ah, yes, a mature reply indeed. ]

Can't a man ask about another man's pointy magical demon arm?

[ He might just be narrowing his eyes a little at that. ]

Why? What's it to you?

I have a mild vested interest in other demons in the area.

Good to know who's in town.

Other demons?

[ That has Nero take a bit of a step back and turn some to face the man a bit better. ]

You tryna tell me you're one?

I guess I don't really look like much of one right now, do I?

[Tell him he's pretty!]

The lack of violence and the presence of a decent vocabulary might be a little confusing too, I suppose. Midge certainly puts on a good show as well.

[ Midge... he means the dog, right? So the dog is also a demon? You know what? Yeah, makes total sense. ]

Well you're definitely not like the ones I'm used to putting down.

[ Ah, yes... a demon as a demon hunter. If there was a club, he's pretty sure he'd be kicked out of it. ]

A little estranged from the family, I see.

If it makes you any more comfortable, I, nor any of the other demons swanning around Genessia, seem too concerned about causing trouble. I'd go into despotic alien warlord hunting if I were you, that seems to be a more active sector here as far as actual dangers go.

Or maybe you could look into a different field? They're always hiring cashiers around town.

[ The scoff that Nero gives at such a suggestion. ]

Yeah, going from demon hunting to cashier sure is a step up on the corporate ladder.

[ Hello, sarcasm. Maybe he can do some bounty hunting or check out Everglade since that seems to be the supernatural hotspot or something. ]

Thanks for the tip, pal.

I guess you are a little overqualified, most stores don't require their cashiers know how to disassemble a demon in ten seconds or less.

But you're in for a long, boring, unproductive ride here.

You could always make your own fun though! Manufacturing reasons for you to run around turning supernatural creatures into blood pudding could be lucrative.

I'm not looking to start trouble here, only prevent it.

[ It's what he does back home... unless you count getting himself into trouble with that mouth of his but, tomayto-tomahto. ]

With your winning attitude, you might just get to start trouble, and put it down before it gets out of hand!

I can't wait, that will make for some great streaming.

[ With another look down to the puffy little dog, Nero glances up to this guy and makes a mental note to remember him for just in case purposes. ]

Like I said, thanks for the tip, pal.

[ A beat. ]

Got any others or is this where we part ways?
