Well look at that, you've gotten me all formal and everything.[/color]" Haley replied, chuckling to herself. "[color=royalblue]A male Harpy huh? We sure are getting all the male monsters, aren't we? Maybe we should just introduce you all to the Demon Lord and we'll be set for life.[/color]" [/quote] Ozzy played it off. [color=gold]"I know, the odds of male monsters in such a place together are astronomical, but we also have two dragons. Maybe we're fated for greatness."[/color] Ozzy's fingers went to his chin as he considered meeting the legendarily imfamous Demon King. [color=gold]"It's not a bad idea."[/color] If there was another meaning behind it rather that diplomatic, the harpy wasn't considering. [hr] [@Lmpkio][Morgan] Ozzy looked quite odd as his 'cloak? Cape? became rigid and unfolded into two wings at which he flapped and suspended himself off the ground. He checked to make sure Morgan didn't need a lift, his 'boots' being able to split apart for his raptor like clawed feet. It seemed alot of his clothing was modified slightly so that he looked mostly human, until he didnt. He didn't look like a harpy until he actually took flight. Most of the trip was Ozzy talking to himself about Varjo, seeing how that seemed to be a big proprietor of their requested services. Ozzy did have to remark that a good portion of those requests seemed to involve atleast some kind of fighting. The Guild was mercenary, and mercenaries fight battles. It made him a bit uneasy. Would he be in a battle? Would he be asked to be a spy? Research battle strategies? Would his new friends be okay. They were dragons, and minotaur, and odd creatures, but still. Seeing the small town, Ozzy descended landing with a soft thud. [color=gold]"Mahigan, I presume. I mean it's supposed to be a village."[/color] he was about to go for his tome from his back pack but it proved unnecessary. He took a few steps to admire the architecture and people watch the locals. [color=gold]"Alot of villages are typical of this. Meeting alot of travelers, they end up opening their doors to monsters."[/color] He was just spurting out random trivia. [color=gold]"Now the next silly question is who are-"[/color] [quote=@PaulHaynek] "Hey! It's you! It's a good thing I read your profiles or else we'd be spending an entire day looking for each other in Mahigan. You two are fliers, yeah? Good! I'll just make you guys carry me to Lokdar Swamp and this quest'll be finished in no time." [/quote] Ozzy turned, happy to be recognized though the sight of him put Ozzy off a little bit. It was a man, so he was in armor, alot of armor... too much armor. [color=gold]"Isn't that a little heavy?"[/color] He remarked and finding it quite rude that the man was just expecting them to carry him. Sure most monsters could carry a person, but he was in iron platemail, adding an additional 30-50 kg. [quote=@PaulHaynek] "Anyway, I'm Ian. Ian North. Professional mercenary. More of a hero-for-hire, really. I'm not really taking questionable jobs anymore. It must be when I saved some monsters with an Order priestess. Anyway, I have a feeling we're gonna be seeing each other more in the forseeable future." [/quote] Ozzy smiled a bit at this, giving Ian the benefit of the doubt. He offered a hand to shake. [color=gold]"Hello Ian, it's a pleasure working with and or for you. I'm Ozmodius Skyway, you can call me Ozzy. And glad to hear it. From the description, it sounds like it's pretty harmless."[/color] Herb tracking, but it was in that swamp. Ozzy hoped it would be that simple. [quote=@PaulHaynek] "As for the job, like I said it's taking us to Lokdar Swamp. Now I know evil hags and supervillain lairs tend to reside in swamps but I assure you that nothing really harmful will be waiting for us there. Although we might run into the Varjan refugees that just holed up in Ravager's Rest but come on, what are the odds of that? So you in?" [/quote] Ozzy added to the description. [color=gold]"Still we better watch our step. Had a bad run in with some of the local flora there yesterday"[/color] He took note that Varjo came up again. But they are north of that country, and Ravager's Rest was unfamiliar to him. Things must be bad. [color=gold]"If anything does happen, I'm sure we can handle it."[/color] Ozzy says, assuring more of himself than anyone else. [color=gold]"If you're ready, I'm ready."[/color] He checked in with Morgan before flaring his wings again and then settling on Ian's shoulders, his claws gripping him on his arms at his shoulders. He tried to do it, to spare Morgan the work and discomfort. A subconsciously proper thing to do. [color=gold]"Thank goodness harpies are adapted for carrying off pretty heavy prey. Let me know if it's uncomfortable Ian."[/color] If there was nothing else, Ozzy would strain, flapping his wings to try to get him and Ian airborne but eventually he did. Why so much armor? If it was supposed to be a safe mission? But he was a hero, maybe it was his look.
