The labs over all where a wreck.
His trips there had often ended in a mess of dust and dirt covering his white coat and so today he simply left that part of his outfit behind. Cargo shorts, plain white t-shirt and a belt with a few basic tools where all he had as he moved towards the still cluttered area of the lab. Techs wandered all over saws could be heard cutting through fallen metal beams, welders burning to rebuild reinforced walls.
"Oie get out of the way ya little princess." A lab tech moved by nudging Roland aside before pointing to a wall near by before shoving a sledge hammer his way. "Break that one down, fulla holes gota fix the whole thing."
"Y-yes sir," he mumbled before dragging the hammer over to the wall.

Bix was standing in front of the adjacent wall, coat tied around his waist and wearing a sleeveless t-shirt. The albino was on the tall side, arms lean and toned from regular training. His white hair stuck up in every direction. He hadn't turned to see what trainee was being badmouthed because they all were being treated like workhorses at the moment. He was gyrating, sun insignia swishing on his coat as he swayed, and facing a wall full of holes.
"Break on throoooough to the other siiiide." Bix sung badly, just loud enough so the supervising hunters may be annoyed, and thrashed his head a bit. He was spackling, the metal tool in his hand scraping over the wall. "Break on throoooough to the other siiiide yeah.. DUN DUN DUUUN DUN DUUUUN DUN DUUUUN DUUUUN.."
He felt another hunter near, not knowing it was the same newbie from twitter or that had just been the one addressed as princess.
"Right? Sing with me.. It pisses them off soooo bad." Bix nudged the young man without even looking at his face. "YA KNOW A DAY DESTROYS A NIIIGHT.." he started the song over. Oh and there was spackle smeared over his pale cheek, looking like some sort of weird growth on his white skin.

Roland stared at the wall hammer in hand before being spun around and nudged towards Bix by another hunter. This one took the hammer passing him another set of tools to mirror that of Bix's. "Don't break the wall, patch that one up with loud mouth over there."
It was now impossible to avoid Bix who was swaying and singing away while slathering the wall in new spackle and plaster. "Er s-sing along?"
<< DO IT DO IT DO IT! Singing will make it all better. You can forget and keep working along >>
Roland let out a deep sigh before reaching up to smear some of the spackle on, "I d-don't really sing much..." He shrugged a bit but Bix seemed to head no mind as he launched into song, Sylvia following along with him.
"N-night d-divides the daaaay..." He added on as a very sassy rendition played in his head via Sylvia. Somewhere another lab minion groaned in agony at another hunter being roped into the singing festival.

"Try to run.. try to hiide.." Bix seemed to get louder, bolstered by someone joining in. He almost hip checked the other hunter and after a huge globbed on smear of spackle on a patch of wall that didn't even have a hole or crack, he dropped the tool, grabbed Roland by the shoulders and shook him happily.
"BREAK ON THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE!!" He shook the young man enthusiastically. Man he was a little guy, huh?
Suddenly an empty plastic bucket hit him in the head, halting his singing andmaking him hiss dramatically. None of the supervising hunters looked guilty, though all of them seemed to be smirking.
"Fff... shitheads." Bix turned back to the young man he had been gripping up. "Don't know how to have fun while doing slave labor..."
He straightened with a bit of a stretch, retrieving his spackle promptly to avoid having more things hucked at him. "I'm Bix, by the way."

He hadn't even tried to apply anything to the wall yet. He was still a bit confused at all the hustle and bustle. He was signing along and Sylvia seemed to approve. It was distracting.
"B-Break on through t-to the other side!" he joined in getting a bit louder swaying side to side a bit as spackle landed all over the floor when he was shaken around. Messy brown hair flailing every which way and earning a few white splotches of its own. Though nothing like Bix's albino style.
He was about to join in again on the next line when-
<< INCOMING !!!! >>
The bucket thunked Bix rather well followed by a paint roller aimed at himself, "ADJHSFK! SORRY SORRY S-SORRY!" The younger mist hunter jumped side to side for a moment as others hissed and booed.
"I've uh, noticed that fun is not high on anyone's list around these parts to be honest..." Bending over rather then stretching as was the blessing of being so low to the ground to get his gear back he stood up swiping it across the wall filling in a hole left by a thrown paintbrush, the poor wall couldn't handle anything.
"Roland, I guess we will be in the 'Construction' division now here."

"Roland roland roland.." Bix muttered it, trying to put the name together. He started to snap his fingers at the young hunter. "Oh oh are you the new mistie kid who ditched me for a bunch of girls?"
He was trying to do a serious face, an intimidating tough guy face, but Bix wasn't that guy really and so he ended up just cracking into a crooked sort of smile. "It's cool. I know how the girls around here can be distracting."
Bix clapped Roland on the back and shifted over a foot to start smearing spackle into a pretty obvious crack. "How old are you man?" He glanced down. After not knowing how old Otto was, and then getting drunk with him, he figured it was a good question to ask. "And more importantly.. what are your thoughts on comic books?"

"The one and only." He paused for a moment taking a bow dropping more spackle as they spoke. He flinched scooping some of it up moving to continue patching the wall as they talked. "Er well. not a bunch I mean. Okay so I've met like... no its about even girls and guys really." He shrugged helplessly. "Candace takes priority as a senior mist hunter? She uh.. got me through the Mistaken tower before... everything went down."
It helped though, even as he thought about the recent events the face caused him to crack a smile. "Not entirely distracting just ya know doing my job."
Where Bix went high Roland went low, crouching down he worked on the bottom of the long crack. "Ah nineteen, young fresh face in the mist division." Standing up a bit more he gave a shrug, "Nothing against em, I saw a few of the Marvel movies, they where pretty awesome."

"Pffft.." Rolands non-acknowledgement of the fine hunter ladies earned him a playful shove by Bix. You didn't have to be a girl crazy horndog to notice that they were all knockouts, even the boyish ones or the bitchy ones. What was that about?
"Not so young. You look younger though. Watch that spackle man, you are getting more on the floor than the wall." Bix laughed and turned back to work. He smeared spackle into another crack, one that looked like a strong breeze may take out another chunk of wall.
"Oh man you need to read some comics. I'm the comic guy... and lord of the rings guy.. well I guess nerd guy? Yeah im the nerd guy."

"Also a ghost according to Rep on twitter." He stuffed the phone quickly into his pocket before moving to scoop up dropped spackle moving to the wall again before a light push made him spill it.
Again.
"I'm nineteen and I stand by that statement. If I look younger, well, can't help that I look better then you?" The teasing jab was probably the boldest thing Roland had said to a stranger lately.
"I read one of the lord of the rings, too wordy for me really. Comics aren't bad I just never made a habit of like, going every month to get the new one or what ever. Moved around too much to find one 'comic shop' or book store that I liked really either." He moved slapping spackle onto a wall.

There might not have been suffering going on here, but stuff was being rebuilt. A certain creature did not want these walls to exist in their home. While the two hunters spoke, a grey mist began to form around them, filling the area. Before people could really wonder where the hell the fog machine had come from, a reptilian growl could be heard from somewhere. Shortly after, a pair of blue eyes could be seen in the fog.
They weren't alone.
A new challenger approaches!

"Rep's a douche." Bix snorted.
Bix had been liking the convo with the new guy but the Sun was also hyper aware of the fog, the insanity. He'd been here too long, suffered it himself just enough, to not ignore the creeping feeling.. the shadows in the corner of his eyes.. the whispers.
The growl was new, of course.
"On guard newbsie.." Mina flashed into Bix's hand, her sibilant hiss excitedly filling his mind. She'd been quiet lately, before and after her sleep. He was wondering if something was wrong with her, between the two of them. There was a subtle displeasure she had toward everything he did.
Bix spun towards the seeping mist and found the rest of the hunters gone. What the hell? They show up to bark orders but disappear when the fight starts.
Figures.
He didn't know what kind of weapon Roland had, but Bix pushed the younger man behind him to let loose with an attack.

"Yeah, but he's a friend, to me at least." He moved to continued his work but something was off. Fog was slowly rolling into the room and it seemed like everyone else had suddenly left and..
<< Oh. Look. A dragon! >>
Roland jumped turning with Bix as he gave a warning.
<< Don't fall, and don't falter. >>
"Y-yeah I h-hear you Sylvia..." The scythe suddenly flickered to life in his hands. He had been pushed back as Bix fired an arrow, but he moved past him in his own right bringing Sylvia up high slashing down at the dragons face.
"I-I'm going to have to take point." He lifted Sylvia up again, "N-need to get a little closer for mine..."
<< Just don't fall into the mouth~ >>

The eyes were the only things visible at first, but as the two hunters took on the offensive, the head of the dragon formed as they rushed forth towards the two with a gaping maw. A thunderous roar erupted from them before it came to a stop, staring down the pesky humans that were more trouble than they were worth.
Fog billowed out of their nostrils similar to how smoke would for a normal dragon.

"s**t!" The 'flames' rolled over them, bowling Bix back into the wall. He could hear the cracks spreading and most of the spackle work they'd done becoming useless.
"Nice scythe.." He smirked, albeit pained, and fired a few arrows over the advancing trainee's shoulder. "We have to try and keep on it.. fog monsters can be crafty as hell."

The fog washed over and a chill cut to the core, it caused his eyes to go wide from system shock as he too stumbled back along with Bix. He didn't go as far bouncing off walls, but he was still stumbling and stunned.
"T-thanks..."
<< I like him, he compliments me! >>
"N-not now S-sylvia..." he stumbled forward again shaking the cold from his bones. The blade moved slugishly through the air as he swiped at the fog monsters face. It didn't bite deep but it was still a strike none the less.
