PAARTHURNAX!

[The urgency in Colin's tone was evident. He'd taken another bath to get the blood off him, but that scent was unmistakable.]

I need you, we need to hunt!




[Now that Colin had enlisted his air support, it was time to get a strike team. He had no snacks for bribery this time, just an eerie look of serenity on his face as he headed to the monument to track down some heavy hitters. He snagged his amplifier from his lab, so that when he speaks, he's not going to be hard to hear.]

HEY! I need our big guns out here, post-haste! We've got a mission, search and destroy time!

[Dare you approach?]

[Colin blinks and looks at her.]

... Yeesh. Where have you been getting your information? Heroics? Eating it?

[Paarthurnax, I swear, you are SUCH A DRAGON. There are other plans besides "Eat it." This is not a Weird Al album!]

[findsrisks]

I've been getting it from very accurate sources, I'll have you know.

[Visions of the future that have been proven to be 100% accurate. No seriously, only direct intervention has prevented them before.]

So I'm going too, to make sure you guys don't get yourself killed. Enough people have died today.

[She is a petite girl who very obviously cannot even defend herself, let alone fight, by the way.]

[freedom_engineer]

...

[Colin studies her for a moment. On the one hand, he could break her by sneezing on her. On the other hand, they're rolling out with a strike force that would make his sister a little nervous. He won't immediately dismiss her words, because where he's from, the Elerians have dedicated priests capable receiving visions of the future. They've never been able to lure any of those to the Corsican empire, either... He doesn't believe her, but she said JUST ENOUGH to pique his interest.]

Okay, but don't slow us down. This group is going to be hard enough to keep focused without having to take breaks for people who've been winded. Think you can keep up?

[He might ask Ippo to watch her back, too. Most of the people here are pretty good, but Ippo could probably use a bit of extra responsibility to keep him on track.]

[findsrisks]

Of course I can. Sprinting is one of my best areas.

[She's going to leave it at that, too. Nobody needs to know she can't really fight monsters. She makes a point of avoiding fights in the first place, either by running away or using her visions of the future to know just what to do to stop horrible deaths from happening.]

Tell the dragon not to eat it, by the way. Make sure he understands that. No. Eating.

[freedom_engineer]

Then welcome aboard. I'm glad to have another set of eyes out here.

[Whether or not they can fight, having another body is a simple force multiplier.]

And I'll reiterate that to him.

[With a huff, Colin rolls his eyes.]

I should have told him to fill up on mammoth while he waited...

[findsrisks]

He can still do that, can't he? Or are we leaving now?

[freedom_engineer]

A fair point. We're not leaving just yet, but everyone's doing their things to get ready.

Speaking of which... Go grab a bite to eat or a quick power nap. We're leaving sooner rather than later.

[findsrisks]

Alright, but if you leave without me, I'm hunting your whole group down and you'll regret it!

[This is said with all the seriousness that a 16-year-old girl can muster. She is a dangerous one, don't ditch her.]
