When Dr. Paeris Dalen finally appeared and gave a brief overview of what their first assignment would be for, Squall was quite excited to hear about it. While the surrounding locales had been a nice scenery change from the Old World, after awhile it was a bit repetitious. Being able to see what waited beyond what previously the Commission had explored was just what Squall had desired to see. Fight new wyvern species, see new lands. Definitely a worthy venture for his curiosity.
One hunter seem to bombard the good doctor with questions. Filo as he had called himself, seem to go over most of the basic questions for whatever the overall commitment to the whole assignment. Important factors to consider since no doubt they would be away from Astrea for some time.

Zaina 'Zee' Allaires

Eukary Campus - Winter Festival
Interaction:@Crystal Amalgam Zelda, the worthy opponent

---

Zaina was still basking in her latest victory before a voice rose from the crowd of onlookers to answer her previous challenge. Zaina looked over to see a rather similar size bearded vulture who was enthusiastic and making their way to her. Zaina smiled a toothy grin, a cackle escaping from her mouth involuntarily from her excitement from a worthy opponent. The bear had been tough but still Zaina was certain of her strategy against him while this new opponent seemed more evenly matched to her own strength making her jittery in anticipation for such a feat of friendly competition with them. A final challenge to end it all that would make it all the more memorable, win or lose.

"Ah finally a worthy opponent, this battle shall be grand!" She exclaimed returning to the table, getting her arm in position while waiting for her opponent's talons to grab her paw. While waiting to start Zaina idly started to chat the rather eye catching bird.

"Never seen you around. New here?" She asked though soon someone off to the side acting as referee shouted go and the battle begun, with neither side seemingly moving, Zaina continuing to chat ",I'm certain I would remember if I had seen you around. Few avians around that match my size, outside of condors."

After having left Corrie near the various booths of the science section of the fair, Zaina returned to the various sports and physical activity booths, finding one that was having some form of arm wrestling contest that Zaina immediately entered easily working her way through a bunch of other competitors. Either through her physical prowess,causing a few to flop out of their chairs as their hand slammed into the table, or by intimidation causing forfeits of her opponent. She had drew somewhat a crowd while doing this from curious on watchers, to various defeated opponents waiting to see who came out on top. Her current opponent was a rather large grizzly bear, an opponent that was starting to actually make Zaina work for her win as they both seemed in a stalemate while neither budged.

Their hands swayed in one direction and the other as each tested their might against the other, seeing how would falter first. Both focused on concentration. What were a few seconds felt like minutes as they remained in their stalemate with no winner in sight. Zaina while having a bit of a challenge with her opponent was waiting to see him crack, and soon had her show as the bear gave a slight growl and huff, the littlest of hints of his strength weakened. This was her moment and she took it.

With a roar she pushed, a crazed glint in her eye as she smirked with all her teeth showing as she used all her strength to push back against her opponents arm. The bear faltered not expecting the sudden attack as he struggled to keep his hand from hitting the table, barely above it while trying to push back against Zaina's strength, both growling. Once more at a stalemate though the bear was only prolonging the inevitable. This was a war he could not win now as Zaina kept the pressure. He fought back valiantly but eventually it was to much as his hand hit the table with an audible thud, lightly panting with a slight groan of disappointment while Zaina threw her hands into the air and madly cackled with triumph.

"So who's next to try and dethrone the Matriach?"

After a minor delay of gathering a few simple supplies, Squall and Trygve proceeded to the Geological Research Department, weaving between the continuous crowded of hunters, workers and researchers. Upon finding the the building, he carefully made his way down the various halls as to not mistakenly poke someone with the giant greatsword currently on his back while Trygve had returned to being on his shoulder as to avoid getting his tail stepped on by any of the busy researchers going to and fro. Upon finding the office he found at least one hunter who probably was there for a similar reason as he.

Whoa! Pretty busy here today. I'm assuming this is the place to meet Dr. Paeris Daelen about that request on the board," Squall stated while Trygve gave a wave from Squall's shoulder before dropping down standing in front of him.

Astera Gathering Hall

"This festival is Gnarly-cuga!"

The Gathering Hall was packed for the festivities. Squall managed to push his way through his fellow hunters, his fellow palico companion, Trygve, hanging off his shoulder as to not get lost or stepped on with how crowded it was. Squall and Trygve arrived to the New World a year prior, looking for new adventures and fearsome monsters to hunt. Most of the work they had done had been the fairly routine of what the Guild had given back in the Old World, though it was more for research purposes then protecting a village from a dangerous monster. It was satisfying work but he iched for something more and hearing of the newest request that had found itself to the main request board, he was all but eager and willing to show his worth. Who knows maybe he could be as good as the legendary Sapphire Star from long time back. Doubtful but one could have lofty ambitious and Squall at times had some pretty lofty ones. Thus why Trygve was his companion, to balance out the ambitious hunter. Where Squall was a man of action, Trygve was more tactical and observant. They had learned to be a good team together even if they butted heads from time to time.

The duo reached the board reading what it said and who to talk to before leaving the crowded gathering hall. While tempting to join the festivities, he didn't want to miss out on his chance on such a rare opportunity.

"Need potions," Trygve stated while they made their way to Dr. Paeris Daelen.

"Yes I know," Squall replied with a slight sigh. He was thankful the palico was methodical but every adventure out was a chore with such a checklist. Of course the one time he didn't listen had him ending up on a cart back to Astera so it was better to listen then to object his companions advice. The sigh however earned a light thump to the back of his head.

"You know I could just leave you hear right," Squall responded, placing the palico down.

"Ha! You be lost without me. Die within ten seconds," Trygve responded while walking back on the ground, now that the crowds were slightly thinner, expertly dodging and weaving between other people's feet with ease.

"Knew I should of got one of those palamutes instead. Less talking back from them," Squall joked, while Trygve swatted his leg as the made their way to a new adventure that was just beginning for them.

The Black Market - Decrepit Building

Tholo gave an a growl of annoyance at the voice signalling that he had a guest in the hellish freak-show of a room. While most of the regular civilians of the Black Market seemed to of forgotten about 'Gevaudan' some of the older gangs along with a sprinkler of newer players in the underbelly of the city occasionally were a bother. Mostly was a simple deal, he didn't fuck with them and they didn't fuck with him. None of his errands running for the police had ever involved the big players and he intended to keep it that way. He had gotten out and he didn't want back in. Unfortunately that didn't stop them from at least pestering him when they caught on to his presence, much to his frustration as many young bloods appeared to enjoy poking his buttons.

"What do you want cub, no cowering mice to chase," Tholo shot back as he made his way through the room, following a specific stench as well as drag marks of stagnant blood ",Or a free meal. I know you enjoy trash, so plenty of that currently here. All rotting and ripe for your enjoyment. I've got no time playing babysitter and don't have a ball of yarn for you so maybe one of these guys' heads will do."

The trail went further into the building, a sickening feeling entered the old wolf's stomach. This was far more then simple turf wars, someone sick in the head was responsible for this. More horrors were within, some missing limbs, fur pelts hanging on the wall above mangle remains. The trail went further and further until ending in a room with only one body, the only body that seemed untouched minus the fact it was pinned to the wall, hanging from it. On the wall, written in blood was a simple question:



"Well fuck."
