[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!]

no subject
Do you mind if I- [Justine gently raises her palm to indicate that she wants to touch his wings if she's allowed too.]
no subject
Sure, why not?
[He unfolds the one closer to her again, the new appended opening up with a bit of a tremble. His feathers are black and shiny and the wing come stand from his shoulder to about his hip. The span is about one arm's length.]
no subject
She's never seen anything like this before.
Her palm then comes to rest rest on the feathers. She notices their silky touch and almost huffs out a warm breath of wonder at the feeling.]
This is amazing Zack.
[She realizes that these changes aren't exactly good but there is beauty in it, you only had to see it.]
no subject
Feeling fingers brush his wings is an odd tingling sensation. Sort of like when someone runs fingers through hair.]
... You think so?
[Zack looks a little muted. He's still not sure how to feel about having wings. The horns and all the rest meant that a part of him wasn't human anymore and that honestly made him feel conflicted.]
I thought maybe they're just another step father away from... whatever I used to be.
[Whoops, he doesn't mean to get so deep. So he takes a sip of his drink.]
no subject
What you look like does not define who you are or you who will be. Only you get to do that and it has very little to do with what you look like.
[She smiles softly as she slowly retracts her hand.]
I know it seems easy for me to say. I am on the outside looking in but you're wings are beautiful and I know that some of the reason for that is because they are yours. I don't think I'd like anyone else's wings as much.
no subject
Thanks, Justine.
[Becoming something less than human has been difficult for Zack. He's mostly been able to keep his spirits up but it's hard to accept everything as fast as everyone else has been. Not when he's lost so many friends for being 'monsters' and that term meaning something so much deeper to Zack than others.]
I don't know how far these changes to my body are going to take me. If they're going to change me or not. Looking into the mirror and seeing wings reminds me of how much I am changing, at least on the outside. It's weird that having wings was the tipping point for me.
[He smiles wryly.]
But if you think they are beautiful, maybe all these changes aren't as bad as I'm thinking they are.
no subject
You're welcome. It's alright if you don't think so but I hope it's alright that I like them. I haven't found a part of you that I haven't liked yet.
I'll let you know if that ever that isn't the case.
[Her drink arrives and she takes a small sip, holding the glass between her palms.]
What was it about the wings that unsettles you? If it's alright for me to ask?
no subject
[His smile turns into a warm grin. He swirls his own drink and takes a drink from it. Ten he tucks his wings neatly against his back again.]
And yeah, it's fine. Just... back home wings were sort of a sign that you were a monster. A bad one. One that was probably going to go crazy. I've lost friends that got wings... Good friends.
no subject
[Justine takes a sip of her drink and leans forward, resting her chin in the palm of her hand. Her dark eyes glitter with warmth as she meets Zack's gaze.]
Were the wings the reason you had lost your friends?
[Her voice is gentle and kind. She doesn't want to press him but be there for him.]
no subject
Yes and no.
[It's a complicated story.]
One of them thought that he was ruined because of them. He felt betrayed by the people around him, fought about things he couldn't accept. He caused a lot of issues. Eventually he lost his life for it.
[He sips his drink.]
But that's a bit heavy for a afternoon drink, though. Sorry.
no subject
I asked and I'm happy to learn more about you. You're a very interesting man Zack and you keep surprising me.
I wonder what you'll do next. Maybe out drink me?
[She holds up get glass in a silent cheer, hoping to cheer him up and pull him away from any dark thoughts.]
no subject
Well, I think you're just as interesting, Justine. But now I've got to prove to you that I'll easily outdrink you. Bring it on.
[She's so tiny how would she ever outdrink him?!]
no subject
[He's absolutely going to out drink her so hopefully he can carry her home...]
no subject
How do you feel about rum?
[He gives a smirk as their drinks are placed down.]
no subject
I feel like rum is a good idea.
