[A: wilde quest #1: outside of the city]

[Zack has been outside of the city walls several times now finding he’s better off when he’s doing something active and keeping himself busy outside of the hustle and bustle of magical-city life. Out in the Wilde, he can feel the heaviness in the air that the Cwyld brings due to his new sensitive senses. Having heightened hearing and smell has its uses being a part-wolf chimera.

He’s stationed at one of the smaller temporary camps outside of the city's Bright Wall where a group of infected people are trying to seek medical attention from Cwyld infected wounds. It seems some sort of creature has run amok in this area and left people injured or even killed in its wake.]


Any idea what the creature looked like when it came through?

[Some of the injured mumble and whine and only turn away from Zack and his questions. They look sickly with black patches of Cwyld scoring their skin. He frowns and runs a hand through his hair and over his ram-like horns in exasperation. He needs to find out some more information about what has happened here so he can help.]

The faster we find the issue and kill it, the better.

[B: wilde quest #3: supply runs]

[The job is travelling through the Wilde and to Smugha Cave to transport supplies and provisions to the Smugha Cave Reclamation Group. In his hand, he has three scrolled spells (minor healing, icicle, and paralysis) but being a monster he really has no clue how to use these temporary spells and will more than likely rely on his own strength and wits to get the supplies through the darkened cave.

They are encouraged to travel the caves in pairs and Zack is more than happy to work with someone in order to not only have someone watching his back but to talk with on the trip. The cavern is old and downtrodden and he hopes there aren’t any rockslides or sinkholes inside.]


So, we’re working together to move these goods to the group working inside?

[He greets whoever is going with him on this trip (maybe it's you?) with a smile and a friendly wave. Don’t mind the claws, wolf-tail and ram horns he has. Zack is a chimera and he looks strong to boot. Any creatures or shades they run into should be easy work for Zack. In theory.]

[C: a bird of a different feather]

[Somewhere in the early morning around the cottages area of the residential district Zack is minding is own business and going for an early morning run to the markets. It’s chilly for a morning in what is supposed to be summer. The weather has been fairly cold for this apparent time of year.

He turns the corner and suddenly lets out a painful yell as a sharp pain runs up his spine. He nearly stumbles and grabs onto a nearby fence post as this sudden pain rockets up his back and through his shoulders. It feels like hot shears are cutting into his bones.]


Aaaaughghhhh!!!

[He yells and drops to a knee which makes him drop the collection of food he has with him, apples and eggs toppling to the ground... Zack yells again as the pain become unbearable. Something is happening to his back and he’s not sure what. It feels like his bones are splitting from his shoulder blades so rapidly that he feels like he might pass out.

Just what he needs right now... More monster parts growing? This time out of his back? What is happening? He could use a hand.]


God... damn it!

[D: the sly seadog]

[Zack is fond of The Sly Seadog, a run-down tavern out in the harbour district. It reminds him of a lot of home or at least the run-down streets of the lower plates and slums in Midgar. Some of the best people and information can be found in places like these and the drinks are usually strong and great for the pain he occasionally feels in his head.

The chimera can be found in this tavern enjoying a drink and open to lively banter or meeting some new friendly faces. Zack looks fairly human aside from the monster traits he has gained such as the thick black ram horns on his head, the claws and wolf-tail...

And he seems to be growing wings now as well. A few sleek black and brown feathers litter the ground around the seat that Zack is sitting in. His wings are small now and obviously very new and look painful. Regardless of that Zack seems to be in a great mood. Why not get day-drunk to forget how much it sucks to have wings?!]


Hey, another round here!

[E: wildcard]

[got something else? throw it down!]

[Normally when he came out to help outside the wall, it was music related purposes. Performing for the locals, giving free music lessons to the children. Over the past few months, he's grown quite a good reputation among the people. A person who brought happiness in an otherwise stressful lifestyle.

But today he was here for something a little different. As important as music was, it was also important to make sure these people stayed safe. So he was here alongside Zack, ready to help stop what threatened the people here. Not being the most assertive person, he lets Zack do the talking first. But when that's not seeming to work...]


I know, we need more. How about you let me try?
fiddlestick: (FANCY HAT)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-08-04 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head, offering Zack a reassuring smile]

Aww...I wouldn't say that. I think your horns are endearing. They're just in a lot of pain right now.

[Pain can make anyone close up and not want to talk. He pulls away from Zack and moves near the people, kneeling down. His attention is focused on the small boy, but he's addressing all of them]

Excuse me everyone. I'm not skilled enough yet to cure the Cwyld, but while you wait I'd like to sing you something to soothe the pain.

[The people don't really seem to react other than mild curiosity. Elliot will clear his throat, and start to sing an old song from home. He's got a nice voice, but more important is it's pretty clear from the magical energy going on this is actually a spell meant to soothe people and ease pain. Which, amazingly, it seems to help. As the song continues, the people seem to ease up and become more attentive to their surroundings. It's no cure for the Cwyld, they'll need a Coven witch for that, but it puts them in better spirits at least.

When Elliot finishes, he nods his head at the small amount of clapping he gets. He looks up at Zack]


Okay. Try now?

Need help with those spells? I'm gettin' pretty good at this magic junk.

That's the idea. I'm not entirely sure what we're likely to run into, but I'm sure we can handle it. I could scout ahead, if you'd like.

[Eve if he's gathered a lot more feathers since the last time Zack saw him, he's still confidence he's capable of that much.]
wordsinthesoul: (out and about)

[personal profile] wordsinthesoul 2019-08-06 11:05 am (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2019-08-05 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fewer people were around in the early mornings--fewer people to question or gawk or otherwise witness her half-grown wings and attempts at using them. The un-summerlike chill made wearing this shawl comfortable, even climbing up trees and unoccupied structures as much as she was.

The Chimera's wings didn't...precisely function as she expected them to. She fell straight to the ground when she jumped--maybe a bit slower than usual, and once a breeze caught her crosswise and sent Kaede stumbling. But, now that she was using them instead of trying to dodge around them when putting on clothes, the feathers on her arms seemed rather small yet. Maybe they still had growing to do? They didn't even reach to her waist, and were still horrifically itchy--

A scream split the air, and at first Kaede just swiveled a tapered ear towards it without looking up from scratching at the scruffy feathers on her arm.

--she knew that scream.

...ugh, she'd need to get involved now.

The Chimera hopped off of the corner of a woodshed she'd been perching on, pulling herself forwards with her long arms to hurry her movements. Despite her earlier apathetic response, she was actually kind of concerned now. That was Zack. She'd never heard Zack scream like that, even when they were both stumbling out of the Looking-Glass House.

But he still looked like him, if that figure crumpled on the path was any indication.

Kaede hopped a fence, dodged the fallen apples, and automatically reached out for his shoulder.
]

Zack? What happened?

[He was obviously not okay, so she didn't bother with that one.]
long_live_the_queen: (are you talking about my hat)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2019-08-07 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Electrocution? That was one of the things Kaede hadn't endured, but she certainly wasn't looking forwards to finding out. She could still easily imagine how agonizing that must have felt, personal experience or no.

Zack didn't seem to be standing on any wires--there weren't any at all, as far as Kaede could tell. The antlered Chimera kept holding onto his shoulder regardless.
]

Need to see the Coven?

[She dodged around saying infirmary--or worse, doctor.]

[She hadn't seem him since the night they had...basically made out in the pub. Which wasn't a terrible thing, but she wondered where he had been, what he bad been up to.

And really, she had been curious more about the place mentioned in the ads, if anything else. She knew it might be rough, but she could handle herself, as she always has.

Her wings are small, much like his, but pure white, much like her hair. There's a swishing, speckled tail, like that of a wild cat now, and she's wearing gloves-gloves that are specially made for clawed monsters.

Her gaze is still calm, still golden-even if a little different from before. It was easy to find him, and slid into the seat beside him with a soft noise.]


It seems I always find you in bars. Does that round include me?

[She might sound just a little flirtatious. Maybe, because she is and it's better then talking about how they both have wings.]
showsnopiety: (I think I'm falling)

[personal profile] showsnopiety 2019-08-11 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[They had certainly gotten excited together. But she had no regrets, even if she had been on his lap and feeling him up in public. Still-if she had the excuse to kiss him again, she would take it.

Though it looked as if they've both had gone through some changes since they had seen each other last.]


We'll just have to set up dates then. But-it's good to see you too Zack. Life has been treating you well, I hope?

You look like you're having fun.

[Justine appears behind Zack with a light smile shaping her lips. She doesn't usually come to theses bars but she does spend a great deal of time at the beach and has slowly begun to learn the places that were nearby should she want to escape the summer heat for a few hours.]

Do you mind if I join you? [She points at the empty seat to his right but waits until he agrees to sit down.

Justine is wearing her bathing suit with a light sheer fabric wrapped around her slender frame like a dress. Her sandals make her feet look bare while thick clumps of wet silky black hair fall messily around her cheeks. She'd just finished one of her swimming practices and is looking to relax before returning home. She hasn't seen Zack for a while but he is always good at having fun and Justine enjoys the time that they've previously spent together.]

[Justine takes a seat and then glances around for the waitress to get herself something to drink. It's been a long day and she's looking forward to something cool and relaxing.]

Yes. I've been learning to swim. Paris is teaching me.

[She'd almost drowned twice and that's enough for her to decide that it's a good idea.]

I've been better now that it's warm again. I missed the sun and while I don't hate the cold, I'm not it's biggest fan either.

[Zack was a regular hunting partner at this point, and Chandra had grown increasingly comfortable with him in that role. This job had seemed simple enough when they'd taken it, just watch the walls, but the refugees were a thing she hadn't expected. The arrival of so many, and with injuries? No, that was no good.

She left the talking to Zack for the moment, but it was fairly clear that the civilians were frightened. So, she opted to help out.

Not in any vocal capacity, because she was bad at that sort of thing, but rather with a spell. Just a simple Bravery spell, making the person he was talking to more likely to speak up about what happened.

Just gonna stay over here...try not to seem too grouchy]

Chandra listens, letting the guy talk to Zack. Right up till the very last bit.]


...Yeah, I've heard that before. 'Oh Chandra, you're too weak and you're nothing, blah blah...'

[now she steps up, grabbing Zack by the hand and laughing.]

...Killed the god that said it, too. Let's go, Zack, smoke monsters are something I can handle no problem.
