[when the camera activates, the first image it catches is of a retreating back as it walks away from the desktop. the webcam is adjusted in a way that captures a great deal of the room in frame - grimy tiled walls, dusty metal operating (or perhaps autopsy) tables, cabinets with rows of bottles and lab equipment visible behind opaque glass. the

A job?

[undeadpan]

Yes. Are you interested?

[bladedstray]

One thing before that, is there's some sort of currency or something for my efforts if I accept it?

[undeadpan]

You're asking for money in a place where it would be as useful as a pile of rocks. Why comes to mind, but to be honest, no. I have nothing to offer like that.

I suppose that cleaves your interest in half.

[bladedstray]

I have not been here long. I am unfamiliar with how this place works.

Not entirely.

[undeadpan]

With the caved in houses and significant lack of human life here, one might expect you to piece things together in a very short amount of time.

If it's compensation you're after, give me some ideas. I can't promise anything but I'll heavily consider it.

[bladedstray]

Do you want the help or not?

[undeadpan]

That goes without saying. Is this an act of charity or do I have to keep assuming you want something?

[bladedstray]

What does the job entail?

[undeadpan]

Killing a monster and bringing it back to me. Nothing more, nothing less.

[bladedstray]

Do you have any information on the monster or you rather your client walk in blindly?

[undeadpan]

I've yet to really consider what kind I'd like. Any would do, though I suppose it would be more accurate to say that whichever is easiest to do away with will be adequate.

There is a certain variety called Makara that I've read about in the library. They have the jaws of a crocodile and the tusks of an elephant, and supposedly live in the rivers around here. Those would be quite...interesting to see.

Unless, of course, it doesn't sound like something you can handle...

[bladedstray]

Are you trying to piss me off? [because you're doing a good job.]

[undeadpan]

[hook, line, sinker.]

I'm just giving you an option. Do you have experience with such matters or...?

[bladedstray]

Hunting specifically no, but I can fight. Hunting is no different.
