[PRP] Collecting Samples [FIN]

[chiickadee]

Ami once again dawned her trainee coat. Having one successful capture under her belt, she was feeling confident and poised. Even if this time she failed, it was still a success overall, having one demon captured.

However, she knew that next she would need one of a separate variety to complete the contract. She was unaware of if demons could contract one another, but capturing a non-demon at least created one control group, wherein she could test such theories.

"Hello? I-Is anyone there?" she called. Her normal monotonous voice had faded to something more childlike and innocent, something with tonality and life to it. She was, in fact, acting the part of innocent trainee hunter, who was very lost.

Oh, someone was there alright. Someone who wasn't interested in helping the hunter in finding their way back. For one, he was lost himself, and two, the way the ghouls voice sounded made him realize that the ghoul was frightened. He wanted to take advantage of that fear and make her even more scared.

The xenomorph slowly crawled his way across the roof, having ditched his skull pin somewhere in the other rooms. One perk to this strange place, he could roam around in his natural form. He soon saw the red head ghoul below him, standing around in the middle of the room. It was the perfect place for him to jump down and scare her even more then she already was.

With careful movements, he slowly reached out, claws gripping the wall as he lowered himself and then dropped behind Ami, his whip like tail straiting to keep him balanced as he stood up to his full height.

"Hiiisssss"

Lex didn't like this outing at all. They weren't going for a Demon this time - and the entire air about it felt a little more dangerous. He'd let Evan take point this time, capture gun and Regal both at the ready. He'd holed up into yet another dark corner, whole body tensed for even a sound of something to go awry.

A low hiss was heard after he'd spotted it. The thing looked... well it looked straight out of a movie, one he couldn't quite place. His trigger finger tightened on Regal, but the Gryphon soothed.

< Not yet, Whelp. See what your better half does. >

He suppressed a snort, but gave in to the weapon with a great amount of chagrin. Wait and see. She could take care of herself.

Normally Ami wouldn't have budged an inch in the face of such a hideous monster- she would've just stabbed Junpei right through the creatures heart. Especially since the creature was leaving itself wide open- as it stretched, it pulled its body over her creating the perfect target.

However, she was playing a part and fighting back her own trigger fingers was a piece of the role.

Immediately she cowered back, covering hand head with her hands and crouching low to the ground- something she would absolutely never do. "P-Please don't hurt me!" she wibbled. "I don't want to die!"

She wasn't screaming, but it was obvious she was frightened so he considered it a job well done! Sludge crouched again, his mouth showing a wide toothy grin. Mission accomplished. Although he couldn't feel any FEAR eminating from the ghoul, that was strange. It was like that reaper boil he had met before, the one with the powerful sword. But he couldn't see any swords here, and the girl was cowering before him.

She was begging him not to hurt her, and he had no intention of doing so. Although he didn't know what else to do now that he had scared her. He couldn't verbally communicate with her either. So he just shook his elongated head and hoped she'd get the picture.

Ami's eyes widened as he shook his head. "P-Please don't eat me!" she begged. He was so close. Not befriended- no, this one was not like the bird creature. She wouldn't be able to lure it in with friendliness.

However, it wasn't openly hostile. There was still room for another approach. An alternate approach. Merely dragging the scenario out so long that Lex and Evan gained a good shot.

She began to walk backwards towards the corner Lex and Evan were lurking behind, though to the creature it would look like she was backing away in absolute terror.

There was some irritation on his behalf that she clearly didn't understand him, but it was forgotten quickly. The girl was backing away now, and he couldn't help but notice she was backing into a corner. That gave him the upper hand, cutting off any means of escape for her.

He had considered moving on, but with her cowered appearance it was just too much fun not to continue. He stood up again, tail swinging out to help him balance as he slowly followed Ami, claws stretching out and flexing as if they couldn't wait to shred through her feeble body. He shrieked loudly, bellowing out some inhuman cry and shook her large head, making sure to take his time in stepping ever so closer.

Evan was at once excited and disappointed for this outing. On the one hand, they weren't after a demon, which meant he may get to kill things after all. On the other hand, Ami said he couldn't kill whatever they came across. On the other, other hand, she hadn't said he couldn't do horrible, horrible things to them after she was done doing horrible, horrible things to them. He would take leftovers over an empty plate any day.

He hid, grudging and obedient, and watched as a monster dropped from the ceiling and stalked Ami across the room and right towards him and Lex. It looked familiar, somehow, but Evan was sure he would have remembered seeing something that ugly in person. Gir growled as it got closer and Evan soothed him. Soon he might get to play; for now, they would watch and wait for Ami's signal. He wasn't too worried for Ami, small as she was--if anything, he felt sorry for the monster.

A few steps ... more ...

He was growing hostile. Very well, initiation of step 2 in plan B.

Junpei was summoned and in a matter of moments she had pinned the creature to the floor. Her heel pressed into one of the many crevices along the creature's neck, with her glaive mere centimeters from the creature's eyes. Ohhh she desperately wanted to stab it right through (after all, disabling a creature was only second best to killing it), but no. Patience. That could come once her studies were completed.

Any trace of innocence had long since left her body as she singlehandedly restrained it. "Men," she said, turning to the two with the nets. "If you please."

He had thought everything was going smoothly, what with the ghoul being petrified. But then things took a very bad turn. Before Sludge even knew what was happening let alone could react he had been thrown backwards and slammed into the ground, screeching in agony as he was flipped and had a very large spear shoved at his neck. He couldn't comprehend what had just happened, but his instincts told him to fight and defend himself.

Sludge shrieked and scratched at the ground before he noticed a very sharp thing pointed straight between the eyes. He wanted to struggle, but seeing the glaive was centimeters from piercing through his skull he decided not to struggle to hard.

Evan forgot, sometimes, that Ami was just as much of a Hunter as any of them were, in all respects. It was easy to underestimate someone so small and understated, but if anything, that only made her more dangerous. He found himself surprised and impressed by how quickly and efficiently she took down their prey and added an exclamation point to the mental note in his head that read "Don't make Ami mad!"

She summoned them, and Evan rose from his place in the shadows. It had felt wrong to hide when, between the three of them, they could have take on anything--but this was Ami's op, and he was just happy to be allowed the opportunity to tag along.

He did wish, though, that the gun in his hand shot bullets or rockets or even space-age lasers instead of just a net. It didn't stop him from firing on the monster, but it did make him wonder what would happen if his gun was loaded with something a little more lethal.

As usual, Lex was slightly taken back by how quickly Ami had turned the tables of the encounter. Yet, he was wrong to be - she'd had the situation under her control the whole time, Every step was carefully plotted out, every single second calculated. This was her design.

The screeching didn't phase him, nor did Evan's all-too-quick reaction with the net gun. The Lifer simply stood and observed, taking mental notes of the Sun. "Good. Let's get this thing back home."

Ami frowned at Evan, seeing as he'd shot the net too close to her shoes for her liking. Lucky for him he didn't net her completely, or he'd really have something to cry about.

"Stay your bloodlust, Evan," she commented as she slipped the red pendant around Sludge's neck. "An impulsive barbarian is undesirable."

Sludge was sticking out from under the net slightly, so Ami kicked one of his ... appendages (?) back underneath. "Sleep," she ordered. The pendant did the rest.

A dark, dull sense of sleepiness overcomes your character, and when they awake, they are somewhere else, far away. Please proceed to this thread!

As he eyed the spear directed at him, Sludge saw two more figures appear from the shadows, walking toward him slowly. He bared his teeth at them showing off his second mouth as well, Hissing angrily at the predicament he was in. Both were wearing the same white cloak as Ami was, and from his position on the ground he could see the gold markings on the edge of each coat. What did these markings mean?

One of them was holding a weapon of some sort, a gun by the looks of things. He knew what a gun was, as many other Xenomorphs had had to fend of enemies entering the hive using such things. When it was fired, he soon felt a large net draped over the top of him. Sludge forgot about the spear that was pointed at him and thrashed, trying to shear through the netting with his sharp tail or cut it with his claws. Instead, all he did was get himself more tangled. After a few seconds he realized he couldn't even move at all.

He looked back to Ami, who had done a complete 180%. Instead of the frightened little ghoul she was now stoic, a presence of authority. He began to wonder if she was one of those 'teachers' he was told about. At the very least she was much stronger then he was. When she approached him he struck out with his second mouth but it didn't nothing to deter her, and he felt a strange object fitted around his neck.

His tail swished a little, sticking out of the net and still trying to cut at it. It was soon pushed back under with a kick, and she said a single word to him. No, she commanded him.

'Sleep'

His urge to fight was changed to a need to sleep, energy flooding out of him as he flopped to the ground and succumbed to darkness.
