 The release of the beast had taken part a few hours ago. It was terrifying, the animal was at least the height of two trolls, and its roar as it ran for the swamp shook the earth around it. Sadly this part was for show. It was a trained animal, and all the trolls had to do was fight the thing and take the mark it held. Now was just the boring part, waiting. Everyone had signed up already, and there was a crowd of trolls sitting around, awaiting the signal. The event had attracted quite a crowd, all teens out for the prize were putting on shows, acting like heroes for braving the contest. Plus everyone wanted the thousand beetle prize. A troll stood up to make an announcement, a megaphone amplifying their voice. "This year we will be requesting that all trolls take a partner, in an attempt to diminish the amount of deaths from the last "Great Hunt""
Chiara let out a sigh. Apparently last hunt there had been some rather lethal "friendly fire" from other contestants. She shrugged, as far as rules went it wasn't the worst, now who to spontaneously partner up with? Her eyes fell on a pretty competent looking troll, and she walked over to them. "Heeey." Chiara said, grinning. "Wanna partner up?"

2/20 for finding beast
Chiara grinned. She saw the moment of hesitation in the other's eyes, and was glad the other troll decided to join her anyway. "Excellent, trust me, your on the winning team here." Chiara winked as she returned the hand shake. The blueblood looked over her shoulder, indicating the other girl to fallow her.
"So," Chiara started, looking around as the two hiked into the swamp, "Do you know anything about tracking? I used to have a little lowblood tracker, but well, guess they were too good at it. Found the beast last year before there was anyone else to save them." Chiara snorted, remembering the now dead troll. It was a shame, they had been pretty decent. "But hey! Learned that lesson, let me tell you! Defiantly sticking together this year."
stringency Idk, roll 1d6 and once we hit 20 total we found it? razz

3/20
Zeylla listened to Chiara's story with interest, though her face did not give any sign that she was even listening, let alone interested. So, the blueblood had done this before. That made the teen feel a little more confident with the sudden decision to go on this adventure. When Chiara finished her tale, Zeylla nodded, pausing before reply in neutral tones, "I have decent tracking skills," though she was not so confident in the swampish surrounding as she was back near her hive(not that she would admit to it), "And yes, perhaps sticking together would be wise then," she glanced around them as she spoke, keeping her eyes peeled for any sign to lead them in the correct direction.
After a few more minutes, where they walked in marginal silence(at least on the greybloods side), Zeylla realized perhaps she should say something. Perhaps she could get ask a few questions, get to know this...troll? She wasn't even sure of her name. She had agreed to this adventure and not even bothered to ask.
"So," she started, before nodding at a flattened spot of greenery, and turning in that direction, "What is your name?" so much tact, so much polite. Zeylla had that in spades.
Micillia Sounds like a good plan to me! :3

8/20
Perhaps if she was a troll more sensitive to teasing, she would have flushed at the realization that perhaps she was being too inquisitive off the bat, but Zeylla was not well known for her sensitivity, and as such she made no physical reaction to Chiara's teasing, though she did note how strong her grip was with a pleased raise of the brow, or perhaps she was raising her brow to Chiara's offer to help in exchange for a favor of herself. Zeylla liked her style, and decided she was worth offering her name to(honestly, she had had no plans to give Chiara her name unless asked, that's just how she rolled), "Zeylla Crypsi, and I will keep your offer in mind, it could come in use to have a strong troll on my side at some point," she had easily noticed that the blueblood before her was, if nothing else, tough. That could come in use. Zeylla wasn't sure when, but it was good to note.
As they went deeper into the marshy fronds, Zeylla became more and more aware of disturbances around them. It almost looked like the beast had gone one way, then changed its mind and gone another way, or perhaps zigzagged to try and confuse the hunters. But the greyblood was confident as she turn point and nodded towards a small thicket of saplings that were all bent and bruised, and looked like hell to clamber through. Of course the beast would pick a path that was most inconvenient, but that was part of any hunt, right?

11/20 for finding beast
Chiara frowned as the path look a route through a rough patch of brambles. Of course the beast would be a pain in the think-pan and go a rather difficult way. With a sigh and a shrug, Chiara took out her Katars and got to work slashing and cutting her way through the thick underbrush. It took a bit, but with her partner's help they managed to get through the worst of it, and back to a somewhat open place. Chiara stretched her arms above her head, enjoying the freedom of getting to stand up comfortably.
If the beast was going to show up, she would hear it coming a mile away. "So, whats with the hemo-anon?" Chiara said, looking over the other girl's clothes in case she missed some small speck of color. "You some lowblood scared a highblood will be a bonebuldge?" Chiara leaned in smirking. "Or are you some kinky highblood?" She thought of Cerpin. The weird land-dwelling purpleblood who tried to pass off for a yellowblood. To be honest, he was bad at being yellow. Way too full of himself to pass for a lowblood. "Hey not judging!" Chiara put her hands up in surrender, she wasnt picking a fight. "You just don't come off as a lowblood, and..." Chiara looked the other girl up and down. "Im not getting that kinky feel off ya." Stoic feel? Yeah this girl was oozing that, but not kinky... Chiara figured she saved that for her alone recrooperacoon time.

17/20 TO THE BEAST
Zeylla could tell, the instant they came into the clearing, that Chiara had something on her mind. The way her head tilted as she stretched(while Zeylla followed suit) and her eyebrows shifted ever so slightly. And the greyblood was pretty sure she knew what the thing on her mind was. It was the same thing every troll asked her.
Of course, she had never heard it put so....eloquently before. Kinky? Why, that was a thought that didn't even cross Zeylla's mind, and she furrowed her brow. What on Alternia did that even mean? She quickly let the thought slide though, but marked it for later investigation.She let Chiara finish her little speel though with minimal irritation on her face. She really did not like being asked, but it seemed to be the thing to do, so she was getting more and more used to it.
And also, she wanted that favor, so it was perhaps best to be a little revealing, "I follow a certain path, which leads me to be anonymous in the aspect of my bloodcolor," it sounded like a recited, well-practiced line, which both informed and yet remained vague. She had decided to reveal a little after all, and she felt that this was a sufficient answer.
She stood for a moment after that, staring into Chiara's eyes, and then shrugged and added, "It all seems to tedious anyways, much easier if the whole shifted to less hemocentric lifestyle," a little spice to flavor the silence, though her eyes had gone back to hunting for some sign of their quarry. It had to be close. She could feel it like a static charge along her skin.

Chiara nodded her head, fairly impressed by the other troll's answer. She had really thought things out. "Thats some good forethought. Wish wiggler me had that kinda forethought." Chiara smiled tho, After Zellya said her next part. "Make sure no hardcore empress-lovers hear you say that! You never know what the fanatics will do when it comes to showing "loyalty." So she wasn't one with the crown, good piece of info to store away for later. If this girl did end up going with the "evil enemy" then she would become yet more valuable. Chiara moved closer to the other girl and gently punched her arm, playfully, "Hey! Lighten up! In fact, take this;" Chiara handed the girl a card, a voucher for free entrance and VIP perks to any one of the numerous clubs Chiara had her hands deep in. "Wolnt hurt to relax just once. You look like you would make a great drinking buddy."
Chiara opened her mouth to say something more when an enormous crash sounded. The swamp water seemed to ripple as something large stomped the ground. With an enormous roar, the beast burst in front of the two trolls, a wild look in its eye. "Welp," Chiara said as she pulled her Katar's out and strapped them onto her hands. "Ill distract him! Go around back?" The blueblood shouted to her partner.

Zeylla's cool, almost stiff, demeanor had, through the whole travels, been evident. One would have expected her to take some the same attitude as the great beast came roaring through the trees at them. Perhaps take a defensive position, let Chiara take the attack. Maybe be awkward or slow to attack, but instead a fire seemed to light in the greybloods eyes. The smallest, sharpest of grins cut her stoic mask, and when Chiara gave command, she was on it like buzzbeasts to honey. And when she saw an opportunity, she was far from quiet, giving calls out just as frequently as her blueblooded companion.
As such, the battle was efficient, though as it went on, it became obvious that Zeylla's cool facade masked a lot of buried aggression and passion. Her voice was loud, her swings and strikes calculated but violent, and at one point she may have even given a harsh barking laugh after a particularly good strike. Of course, even in her passion, she was very aware of Chiara.
She was strong, fast and smart, and responded well to direction in the same way that Zeylla did, eyes never leaving the target, but body already moving into the position called out, proving that her mind was capable of functioning in high stress. A good thing to know about another troll, and could make her a useful trump card if needed in some situation.
The beast cried out as it collapsed to the ground, a sad, tired groan rumbling the ground. Zeylla wiped some blood from her face and leaned forward on her knees, taking a moment to recollect herself. Her hands were shaky from the rush, and her heart was up in her throat, but her mind felt alive. So alive. After a moment's pause, the greyblood looked over at her teammate and grinned, just barely revealing her needlepoint teeth, and stood up and slipped her stiletto into her jacket.
"Well," she hummed, voice just a hint more warmed then it had been before the fight, "That was something," something she might want to do again.
Definitely.

Chiara grinned at the other girl, hearing the slight two degree raise on her voice. Barley noticeable, but still, it was satisfying. "So how about we go "turn this beast in"?" Chiara said, meaning the contest holders. There was a laaaarge bag of beetles, a trophy, and some fame. What wasn't to love? Chiara turned to the corpse, giving it a look. There was no way her and this girl could lug the thing back. "You dont happen to have a lusus nearby, one that could carry that, do you?" Chiara said, trying to keep the judgement from her voice. She hated lusus. All they were good for was carrying around large corpses, and adorning mantle pieces with their skulls of course. "Oh, they did give us this whistle. Guess it calls something to come haul the prize for us." Chiara blew the whistle, and then suggested they meet their prize back at the start line.
stringency Was gonna have them jump to getting their prize and then Chiara saying they should meet up again razz

Zeylla may have found herself comfortable enough to talk with Chiara over the span of the hunt, but her question about the greybloods lusus had her instantly clammed up. She preferred to keep Leechmom out of conversation, and so she was very thankful when the blueblood continued on about a whistle and whatnot.
She casually smalltalked, something she was very new at, as they walked back behind the creature who was carrying off their prize, and found that while she enjoyed the bluebloods company, there was something about the other troll that had flags rising in her mind. Perhaps the sharpness of her smile, of the way her eyes seemed to dig into Zeylla, looking for anything to take away as information. Zeylla noticed these things because she was often the same way, prying and collecting information for a later date, when it became useful.
As they arrived back at the designated spot, the greyblood gave one of her very tight, unused smiles to the blueblood and raised a brow, "What do you plan to do with your half," she planned, personally, on saving her beetles. She didn't do much shopping, and while she occasionally treated herself to a smoothie or a cup of tea in Four Fronds, she preferred to save. It was nice to have that cushion, since the winter months could be tough for being self-sufficient.

Chiara raised her eyebrows at the other girl. Now she was asking personal questions? The blueblood guessed her hemoanon friend just took a while to warm up, and Chiara was momentarily disappointed that was nothing trapping them together longer. "Humm," She said, looking at the prize money. "Probably blow it all on a fun night." Chiara said and snorted. She had been pretty successful with her businesses, she had entered the contest more to seek out a good time than earn a bug or two.
"You know..." Chiara started, almost purring the word, "If you ever find yourself with a free night, and want a bit of fun..." She slid closer to the other girl, and pulled out a pair of tickets. "You just give me a call, and I'll give you the night of the sweep." She slid the tickets into the girl's hand, then stroked the girl's cheek. "How about an appetizer, on me." She winked and slid back, grinning. "Your quite the troll..." Chiara continued as she packed up her share of the treasure, it was time to leave this place, "It was a pleasure meeting you."
