    It seems she had finally gotten the hang of it and was able to extract the bones in the dead conga's arms and once that was done the following arm was done as well giving her four arm bones to go with the fangs and the jaw she had already harvested from the body, unfortunately because she was so focused in harvesting the bones she had ruined her chance of being able to skin the thing whole likewise her constant eating of the flesh in the arms rendered them unavailable to future use though it had acted to replenish whatever stamina she had lost from the previous climb. It wasn't a lot considering she had just woken up but now she would be operating on a full stomach rather than an empty one. Now she just had the lower body if she wished and the upper body with the chest if she wanted to continue with her carving. Meanwhile all the way at the bottom the creature was going through the stairs and at every floor it would pause before sniffing the air to make sure it was going in the right direction. There were so many rooms and although it knew it was coming from above it couldn't exactly be sure which floor it was on, so far it was distant so it would begin to move at a quicker pace to get to her.

    Finally now she would try breaking the bone with her hunting horn and she wouldn't stop until she had a couple of bone shards once that was done she would go around collecting the shards of bone and would begin to place them in her pockets in her new armor, only the smallest pieces though she would place the bigger ones in the basin along with the fang and jaw. She would move on to the lower body more specifically the legs and would stab before carving downward just like she did with both of the legs and would attempt to collect the femur of each leg before repeating the smashing process this time using one on the other and sheathing her weapon as she knew these were the more durable parts of the Conga's body. If she was successful in obtaining that as well she would gather the smaller shards of bone while placing the bigger ones in the basin yet again and would place one of the fangs in her weapon harness while the other would be set on the ground as she now had enough to begin.

    She would count out the number of bone shards she had total first, before doing anything and once she was sure how much she had she would concentrate as she attempted to alter the shape and composition of these according to the forms she had envisioned in her head. At the moment she was thinking of the numerous bones she could form these shards into and honestly it was making her quite excited.

    Likewise she was able to get the bones in the dead conga's legs and while smashing the bones they would eventually crack and splinter into multiple bone shards before scattering around the room due to the velocity at which they were broken off from the original bone. Once she finished gathering the bones she would find that she would have 36 bone fragments out of those 20 of them were small enough to place in a pocket while the rest were the large chunks which comprised the bones at the end of the femur's and ulna/radius as well as chunks of bone which hadn't been smashed into smaller fragments. That added with the fangs and the jaw would bring her total up to thirty-nine. Now all that remained in the creatures body were it's ribs and spine along with it's hips however it was up to her if she wanted to try and scrape and carve those out as well. The blood and the noise would attract the attention of the predator it was a Juvenile Nargacuga small at the moment but still deadly as all were. Nargacuga it would arrive on her floor it's paws concealing the sound it made as it hid in the darkness the only thing of course that could be seen were the red glare from it's eyes which they use to see in total darkness. It would pause upon seeing it's target crouching down as it got ready and baring it's fangs before it would vault outward from the darkness and come charging at Vixen while moving at C-rank speeds.

    Vixen would pour her essence into the various bone fragments causing them or rather the twelve large ones to begin to alter in shape changing them and then adding the smaller ones into it it was her first creation and so she didn't save any expense only keeping the fang sheathed in her medium weapon harness and the jaw bone she had placed in her pocket. It was a consuming amount of Essence she spent on the entire creation and when she looked to see what she made she was suddenly ambushed by some sort of blur the only thing saving her being that she would manage to pull out the fang and quickly change it into a spiked shield. It was made that way specifically to make sure whatever just attacked her would be forced to get off of her lest impale itself. Her eyes would go back to her creation and she would cause it to move the "scorpion" twisting it's tail moving from side to side as she rushed over to it at E-rank speeds. She didn't want to kill the thing, it seemed to be a Nargacuga deadly apex predators when they grew up but just because she didn't want to kill it didn't mean she wouldn't kill it and she would press her hand on the spiked shield before sprinkling some on her creation turning the bones into a blood red.

    Beat...don't kill. Vixen thought to herself knowing that her Scorpion would understand what she meant by it, she would throw her shield at the Nargacuga before pulling out her hunting horn and would begin playing a tune in order to speed up her scorpion.

    It was around noon. The sun shined brightly upon the world, the sound of a light breeze whistling through the all too many cracks, unknown creatures, making their sounds as they too enjoyed the beautiful heat. The city was run down, looking almost identical to the surrounding landscapes, many buildings missing, weathered away, or on the verge of collapsing. Yet, despite its lack of a homely atmosphere, it was still very well preserved with all things considered, its very age proving as evidence. Today, our story shall begin in what appears to have once been a small apartment complex, missing an entire face, and sinking slowly into the ground as the years continue to weigh it further.

    It was a slow transition. He laid peacefully, sprawled out like a fur carpet as his consciousness slowly began to come too reality, dragging itself away from whatever sweet dreams were created. *Thud!* *thud.* Getting up was always difficult, especially when it felt as though a giant was stomping your skull into the ground. One large ache, then a small ache, the all too familiar pattern associated with his hangovers, granting him the amazing ability to not just feel his heart beat in his chest, but also bursting from his temples.

    The pale, snow haired Dakar finally manages to push his naked body from the cold ground, leaning back into a seated position. "Ugh...Where the fuck am I?" It was spoken in a way which almost seemed pained, as his eyes scanned the immediate area. It appeared to have once been a lobby of the flat, though half buried as light only managed to light half the room through a small separation between the next floor, and the normal leveled ground.

    Finally, Tibo managed a stand, yawning rather loudly before doing a multi-tasked scratch of both his nuts and the back of his head while he tried to recall the events of the previous 2 days. Nope, I don't remember shit, but this place is no Scattered Jungle. After a rough scan of the area, he managed to find bits and pieces of his clothing and of course, his bow, just casually laying randomly all over the place.

    Butt naked, Tibo would slowly drag his feet over to each of the items, gathering them into a pile, before turning away to let out his morning piss. It was gonna be an interesting day finding his way around here, this place was like nothing he'd ever seen before.

    His bow in question, was leaning next to a basin filled with some liquid of some sort which sparked a bit even though no light was streaming into it. It called out to Tibo without any words, as if it wanted him to touch the liquids surface. It was a gift from Nature herself as she had seen his diligence and faith turning away from the falsehood of Order and embracing the natural way of life. So far it was quiet and the room had cracks in the walls with the window in addition to those cracks allowing light to spill into the area Tibo was. There was a door...well the door had long since rotted away but there was another room just north, though unlike this room only some light shone inside while everything else was dark, he was probably on the fourth floor of this building. This gave him three options he could try and find his way out through the door, the window or he could simply wait here and do nothing either of course was his own personal choice each..with it's own consequences.

    The piss was highly refreshing as he almost shock with glee as it finished, shaking his hips to complete the morning. After about twenty minutes, Tibo had finally managed to dress himself, well, halfway finish. His hair was left rugged and covered in dirt, his vest just left open and al his bandages were so loosely wrapped, they had no point of being there. With a groan and a hard press and drag from his the top of his head to his chin, Tibo made his way towards the bow, throwing it onto his back and the bowstring held tightly across his chest, all the while his eyes never left the odd liquid beside it. His mind was split into three. The sensible side saying to take it as a gift from the beautiful nature and be on his way, the drunk side wanting to drink it, and another part of him, most like his mother's brainwashing, telling him to leave it be.

    As an individual who finds nothing more rewarding then Nature, the choice was obvious, anything which cannot be understood, yet resembles great beauty, is her doing. (his representation of nature is female) He would lean in, reaching out with his non clawed-glove hand to touch whatever it may be, surly it couldn't be too dangerous, right? After having touched the liquid, and whatever it may be that happens, Tibo will begin to make his way towards the door, unknowing it function and simply seeing it as a broken part of the wall which swings.

    As he touched the liquid it would spread over his body enveloping it in a clear semi-solid liquid which was cool to the touch and would settle over his clothing before becoming still. As he entered the room he was met with silence, there was nothing around and darkness just lingered, silent and all consuming. If he moved to the east he would find another door leading to a hallway it seems the place was a two bedroom of some sort, but otherwise that was all the room contained just rubble, filth and darkness and of course the smell of urine thanks to him relieving himself earlier. Rather uneventful but so was his Fate at the moment, he could continue out the hallway where he could go to the north to the partially destroyed staircase or he could try searching in each of the eight rooms to see if he could find something worthwhile, once again it was up to him.

    The cool liquid which ran up his arm was soothing. After having grown in one of the coldest places in the Natural world, it was a welcoming sensation after years of heat in this all so hot jungle, at least...that's where he usually is. Once the liquid had become a solid, he'd begin to make his approaching into the next room, scanning it as he does. To be honest, it was a slight disappointment to see absolutely nothing here. With a quick shrug and a simple [color:d089=00FF00]"Meh", he continued on his merry way, heading for the next piece of broken wall swing, each step getting harder. Suddenly, when only a few feet away from the door, he turned to the side and vomited, releasing all those bad feels.

    "At least i didn't get any on my shoes..." He said to himself as his arms patted himself down to ensure his did just get god knows what all over his new invisi-armor. He continued his progression up the hallway and towards the stairs. A choice, up or down...Up. He slowly began to make his way up to the next floor, wondering how all this was crafted. A lot of questions were left unsolved in this area, its brings to life that either a) his kind were good builders many many years in the past, or b) There is other intelligent life. His mind thought back to the previous owner of his vest.

    The Nargacuga would jump off once it felt spikes try to dig into it's hide, the prey was faster than it, that wasn't exactly fun, it was initially drawn to the smell of blood, and it saw the bloody mess and the prey which was covered in blood but it didn't realize it had to fight for it. It would snarl at the prey before it's body would begin to disappear the signature Nargacuga hunting stance the ability to temporarily render their bodies invisible, active camouflage if you will. It would notice the prey now had an ally, it wasn't alive though, it smelt like conga but it didn't look like it, she was wary of the tail it had, it was long just like her own. She would wait until the main prey took out another weapon and drop their prickly thing before pouncing jumping onto the wall before bouncing off of it and tackling Vixen to the ground while biting her shoulder.

    Vixen would frown when the Nargacuga just up and vanished...that wasn't fun at all she didn't even get any warning before she felt something slam into her and searing pain in her left shoulder she would drop her hunting horn and lash out with just her fists before biting the invisible thing that was biting her. Get it off!!!!! she screamed as loud as she could causing Scorpion to react and lash out with it's tail at E-rank speeds attempting to hit the creature that was attacking it's owner, it couldn't exactly get directly involved in the combat by jumping in but this was the best it could do. Vixen on the other hand had managed to find the neck of the thing and was attempting to choke it out while biting as hard as she could, ever so thankful for her armor. All that was going through her mind at the moment was surviving and the pain her shoulder was in she was less resolved to try and avoid the conflict now, she wanted to kill the thing.

    Get it off! Now!!!!! Vixen screamed even louder and in addition to the grabbing and repetitive biting she would start kicking, the saying kicking and screaming being very appropriate here, she didn't really care if she attracted the attention of another creature or something else at the moment she was in pain and only concerned with screaming and fighting loud and hard enough to get this thing off of her.

    She would bite harder only to swing her head upward and yelp as her back was lashed by that odd creature. The shock only continued when it got bitten back and it would fling Vixen towards the open window due to letting go at that moment. Unfortunately the intended fling was less violent as it could be due to Vixen holding onto it's neck and so instead of flying through the window sill she would instead hit part of it with the bottom half of her body going through the window but her back and upper body not. The Nargacuga wouldn't spare her it's attention instead turning before pouncing on the bone construct instead trying to bite down on it's tail and tear it apart with it's claws. The sounds of Vixen screaming echoed through the building however...perhaps someone would be able to hear it. Or more specifically the person on the fourth floor would hear screams coming from the top floor of the building it was however up to him to explore it or merely stay away.

    Vixen would fly through the air before hitting her back against the wall managing to throw out her arms and grab the window sill before pulling herself back in all of this happening as fast as she could move. That's it! Enough. Vixen said standing up and trying to look and sound as intimidating as possible hopefully it would stop the struggling between scorpion and the nargacuga that attacked her. It didn't seem to old so possibly it could work and instead of trying to kill her she could make it work for her. She would stand tall while edging away from the window so her back was against the wall of course, wouldn't want to almost fall out yet again, no that would just be horrible.

    Scorpion of course would try and throw the thing which tackled it off while stabbing multiple times with it's bladed tail until it got off. If it did then scorpion would freeze up when Vixen shouted and would use it's tail to flick her hunting horn off the ground over to her arms. If it was allowed to sail across the room Vixen would catch it gratefully her eyes still looking around to see if the Nargacuga was going to pounce or listen. Hopefully the latter because if it did then she would gift it the de-boned conga, surely that was a good reward right?

    The screams were muffled and weak on his floor, yet there was no denying their existence. "Oh...So that must have been the banging i heard, thought the damn building was falling apart, right?" He said, turning to face the thin air behind him. "Ah, that's right, i'm alone." With a shrug his decision was made. Up. Poor Tibo would scale his way up the stairs with ease, feeling much better now that it was all out of his system. It wasn't often that he'd be effected the next morning, yet when he was, it was for a very short while. After having made the top floor in no time, he would calmly open the door to reveal the messy mess behind it. "Oh, look, another person, its been so long since i've seen something capable of speech."

    While speaking, his eyes would pass over the situation, picking up each detail as best it could. Having been sober at the time, way too many possibilities and solutions flooded his mind all at once, making his choice of action difficult to register, and his annoyance grow. Most likely solution: Scorpion with the girl. Girl in danger. Course of action: Watch? Attack Scorpion? Attack Girl? Attack Nargacuga? Leave Room? Loot Room? Fuck it. Dismissing everything he thought, Tibo tried his best to just do what should be done, pulling out his bow and firing not one, but two arrows at the Nargacuga where ever it may be at the time. "I need something to drink, smoke, snort or headbutt. Got anything for me Scorpion Girl?"

    OOC: Assuming Scorpion is indeed a scorpion. If not, meh, my bad.

    The Nargacuga was currently invisible so when he fired the arrows it missed it, however after that threat was gone it would reappear with it's ears folded down looking at Vixen. It would seem the shouting had worked though now another player had entered the game. Now that the danger from the Nargacuga had passed all that remained were each other however they could put aside any difficulties and explore the building side by side. Or they could possibly try and kill each other right now, either was a course of action. Hidden on one of the floor was a totem perhaps if they lingered around they would be able to..find it.

    Whew...it seems the danger has passed, ello ello I'm Vixen and to whom do I owe this dashing rescue? But I do have Conga parts if your not squeamish about blood, I couldn't possibly eat all of it anyways. Vixen purred her face going from being furious mixed with terrified to being calmer and flirtatious, as she would remove her hunting horn from her mouth holding it in a defensive position. Her arm still throbbed from where the Nargacuga bite her and she would whistle at it beckoning it to come closer. Looking at it more carefully now she could see that it was a baby, judging by it's size and what not it couldn't be too old otherwise it probably would of taken her out without even becoming visible from the get go. Going by that it was possibly abandoned or it's mother was killed early in life otherwise it's hunting capabilities would be much better. She would crouch down before shifting her attention back on the male her icy blue eyes meeting his gray briefly before she would give him a look over.

    Slim, but not fragile, his skin tone was so light though, he couldn't be from Demeter he looked as if the sun hadn't touched his skin in years, was he nocturnal or something, she supposed it was a nice quality, it made him somewhat unique similar to herself. His outfit wasn't all that, made sense it wasn't like any Nova lived in luxury, it was constant survival day and night, she did see his bow, it was a beauty similar to her hunting horn, it made her wonder exactly how he got it but meh she didn't really want to think too much about it. She then realized she was covered in blood and would blush before brushing a loose strand of hair back behind her ear. Sorry about the mess handsome but was trying not to die and what not, praise the Shinigami that I managed to encounter a Conga before this little beast otherwise I don't think I would of made it. she said as she finished checking him out while Scorpion would scuttle close to it's master and she would pat it as it did a good job.

    Once the Nargacuga came close to her she would tentatively pat it as well before jumping over to the Conga remains and pulling out a slab of meat before tossing it backward at her new pet so it could eat. Scorpion would scuttle back towards her while it's tail would wave warily at the new arrival, she of course had no problem with him though if her rescuer decided that he wanted to be unfriendly then she'd have to kill and feed him to Scorpion. She would tear off some and offer the new arrival some by holding it out but if he didn't want she would just toss it in the basin and stand up while wiping off her hands on her armor.

    Tibo stood paused for a moment, as if frozen. He simply stared blankly at his two arrows which struck thin air. His head shock violently as his attention was turned to the interesting individual before him. "Well...That was a rather unfortunate miss fire. I must still be slightly dazed." After speaking his attention turned to the Conga and the scene, listening as she spoke him and made her evaluation. After the original glance, Tibo had managed to memorize her appearance and despite his slowly shifting eyes, he began to analyze. She was almost his polar opposite, excessive exposure to sun and heat, just by the clothes alone, her foreign nature could be told. Yet despite this, perhaps she knows where they are, that would indeed help find his way home, if only a little. One again, his eyes turned to her.

    "This whole place is a mess, you just look like you've been here longer then I have." Throwing his bow over his shoulder, and strapping it across his chest, Tibo made his way towards the arrows which were fired. They had made contact with a hard surface, dulling them slightly, causing them to require a nice sharpen when time is free. He placed them back in his quiver, but upside down to mark their difference. "If i was squeamish about blood, i would have died in this world long ago, Conga meat would be nice, thanks." Shinigami was a term he had heard once before, or rather, it was a word present when followers of Chaos butchered his family and friend back at Glacier Islands. She very well may have had a similar belief system.

    "So, Conga girl, while we are hear together, i have precisely four questions. Firstly, do you have any idea where the fuck we are, i don't remember how i got here. Secondly, Do you have a name, or is it simply Conga Girl. Thirdly, what are your plans for this afternoon. And Finally, my original question, do you have anything that can fuck with my ability to think?" He smiled, standing very loosely, ready to collapse at a moments notice. Standing was such a pain.

    The poor Nargacuga would slowly make its way closer to the woman. It would seem the Nargacuga had calmed down quite a bit and would sit as the woman would begin to pat its head. Maybe it was to harsh in attacking without restraint, but considering the state of this place, it would seem it was only protecting itself from what it thought was a threat. When the woman would walk away the beast felt a little sad about it, it had not felt such warmth since its mother. However the woman didn't go far and the next thing to come would be a slab of meat its way. When fighting for survival some days one will go without food, and the past few days have been some rough ones.

    Happily snatching the meat as it was thrown over to it, the beast would begin to feast, laying its body on the ground as it would rip the meat apart with its teeth. While the the beast would eat it would simply listen to the two speak, even if it was only barely paying attention due to its one lunch in such a long time.
