Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ami got a certain kind of consideration that no other non-lead Hunter on the island got from Evan, not only because she had been the one to lead him from the pods into his new life, but because she was genuinely a little bit terrifying and he didn't want to know what would happen if he pissed her off. When Ami said "jump," he didn't bother to ask how high--he just jumped as high as he could and hoped it was good enough for her.

Luckily, Evan hadn't been doing anything that couldn't have waited when he got the text. It took him a few extra minutes to find someone who knew how to get to the basement below the basement below the basement, but he made it there as quickly as he could. When he arrived, he was unsurprised to see Ami torturing a defenseless minipet--it wasn't like it was a real animal, and better it than him anyway. He was more interested in her technique, but refrained from commenting. "Ma'am," he said instead by way of greeting.

Ami turned at Evan's introduction, but faced the minipet once more, speaking without looking at them. "Fascinating, you know. This creature can withstand up to seven tools within its abdomen. Perhaps it's core is located outside of the chest area, unlike humans and most mammals?" She threw one more pair of scissors, this time landing the creature's head. This time it exploded and melted, as all minipets did when outside of FEAR containment areas. It had survived thusfar because of the quarantine area it was in, but now that its cored was disrupted, it had nowhere left to go.

It was then that she turned to the boys, marking down something on her clipboard (mostly something like "get useless trainees to clean up supplies tacked to wall") and said, "I'm going to catch some creatures. I could do this on my own, of course-" No, no she really couldn't. Ami was very weak when it came to fighting. "-But I need someone to lift them back."

Yes, she was literally asking you to be pack mules. "There is more to it than that, of course, but I'm required to inform you of the premise, as is socially acceptable."

Lex was very glad Ami had these minipets to take her frustrations out on. Er, her experimental curiosity. Yes, that was the term he'd use. If he called it frustration, she'd probably begin throwing scalpels at him.

Catching? Well, that was certainly an interesting concept. They usually just killed the beasts - or lured them into becoming Weapons. Lex still hadn't seen that, and frankly he didn't want to. He was here to hunt, not convert. One could not bring a demon penance.

"Catch... as in trap? Isn't that more a Death specialty?" He ventured, fingers still locked behind his back. It was a stupid question, one that'd probably get a verbal reaming, but whatever. He was used to it. "Though I suppose if by 'trap' you mean beating them unconscious, then I do see why you've brought Evan along." He actually smiled at that one, giving the other man a small smile and wink.

Lex always was enthralled by how methodical and seemingly telepathic the woman was. He knew it really just boiled down to a huge store of logic and critical thinking, but sometimes he still found it near supernatural. Just like her ability to be condescending and patronizing to anyone and everyone that wasn't H, despite any factor but rank.

Questions. He put the capture gun away, holstering it in the belt it came with. "What type of creatures, exactly? How can we be sure they'll take you as bait? What's our plan B?" Lex fired off, making some adjustments to the holster belt. Because Ami, being Ami, had to have a pln B, C, D, E, and probably even and F.

To Evan's question, she promptly said, "Untouched." There was a thick moment of silence, and then she added, "But you may kill anything I deem unworthy of study."

To Lex, she said, "Demons, for the most part, but anything else I find interesting. Essentially, it is to my discretion." She knew the man would find joy in the demon hunting as it was why he had joined in the first place, but she dared not indulge him lest he actually feel joy for a moment. "Because that which is out of the ordinary is desirable," she continued, "Even if they choose not to attack me, a hunter will not go unnoticed or ignored." Obviously. Even if they were friendly with her, they just needed to get the demons close enough to capture. "Our plan B is merely to abandon the capture and kill on sight, which I'm sure will give you-" she looked to Evan, "-Satisfaction. Then we will simply return another day. But the chances of that happening are very, very low statistically."

Lex was only wrong on one account, and that was that Ami would have thought up a plan C, D, E and F. If only because having more plans than A and B was simply inefficient, lazy, and meant your first plan wasn't very good in the first place. Ami left no room for error.

Lex did get a bit of a thrill from the concept of Demon hunting, though he'd rather it be slaying, but when Ami essentially said 'or whatever i ******** please', his grin dropped by a hair. That could literally mean anything. She could see a ghost that looked demonic and want it captured. Or another fifty mini pets for 'scientific experimentation.' He sighed a little inside, knowing he'd never be given the full satisfaction of demon eradication. Not by Ami, at least.

"Sounds simple enough. Though, you've only got three pendants... what happens if we find more than two interesting specimens?"

"Just trying to make sure we get what you're after, Ma'am," Evan assured Ami. While he was kind of curious to see what would happen if he kept asking dumb questions, he remembered what she had done to the still-dripping minipet before she had killed it. "I'm ready whenever you two are."
