[right]Rembrandt Township April 13, X903 Suspicious Monster Sighting-Briefing [@Cello][@Lunarlord34][@Sanguine Rose][/right] The sergeant let them all have their piece before sighing. The girl had to quip about the apology, but he held his ground. "Right then, so Mister Kiba, Miss Adelynn and a Mister...Actually, I think you were the only one to not provide a name here." Monreu's gaze remained even. "You can give it before we leave, but I'll continue with the briefing. As I previously stated, we confirmed the mystery monster isn't the lightning beast that fucked up the rest of the garrison. But we don't know if it has a relation of some kind; be that as prey, predator, or rival and that makes the Garrison Commander nervous. I was convinced it would make your guild master nervous too when he called her to discuss the matter with her, but he said she only replied that her mages looked forward to the challenge, so...yeah. I'll be two miles out watching for the tell tale signs of our lightning using friend and, should I see the fucker, trying to buy you time. So we can stay in communication, you'll need these." He offers Mark, Kiba and Adelynn each a small bead shaped device. "VOX units, allows us to instantly talk." [hr] [right]Road to the Outpost April 13, X903 Urgent Delivery-Rendezvous [@hatakekuro][@Sanguine Rose][/right] It was an hour into the trip when the Corporal called a halt, drawing his rifle from its holster and raising it slightly. "Did anyone else hear that?" One of the other guardsmen looked at him weird. "The hell are you on about, Corporal? I didn't hear any-Oh..." The others all drew rifles and aimed four different ways into the trees, their horses nervous, but clearly used to fighting like could potentially be happening. As Nolan and Ria all listen to the sounds around them, they realize that there were none and they weren't sure when the sounds of the forest stopped. Their primal instincts screamed at them danger, but as of yet, no one could see anything. The Corporal was nervous and kept shifting his aim. "Has to be Asterins. Vulcans don't usually cause this kind of reaction and the big lightning fucker would have already attacked."

As the girl looked at Jenna for answers, the Wolf Takeover mage couldn't help but chuckle. "It would seem that my magic has imparted loyalty back to you, as wolves live, travel, hunt and die in packs that they remain loyal to at all cost." She then shifted over Akemi and the job, though as she took it to read over, she noted that Amelia had joined the group and listened to D'angelo's offer after Ky asked, though really begged, to go as well. After musing everything over, she nodded. "I will permit all interested parties their requests, so long as there are check-ins on job start every hour. While I can't see this getting too crazy...we are mages."
