Veice didn't really want to question the poster too much. Wasn't this kind of thing more the deal of a ghostbuster or something? It's not like profession Bounty Hunters were running over one another in order to capture some kind of monster. She pulled the paper off the board and peered at the small text under the picture. "What the... 'Artist's rendering'? They don't even have a picture of the damned thing? ...IS THAT A THUMB?" She said to herself in disgust, moving to put it back on the board. "Ah, gonna take on the Lizardman, are ya?" Came a voice from behind the main desk. One of the men of the guild had apparently seen her taking a closer look at the picture. Veice looked away and went to put it back when the man nodded his head. "Aye, a good idea to let that one go. Three men have been lost in the past week, and we don't even know if it's the sewers that got'em or the Lizard. Aye, you'd need to be sharp as a tack to travel those sewers, and even then the Lizardman is an unknown." Veice looked at the paper again, with its stupid model picture on the front, and then at the other bounties on the board nearby. Thief wanted for a million beli. Corrupt merchant pirate wanted for five hundred thousand. Some celebrity pirate on for twenty five million. None were particularly interesting to her nor were they in her range. She turned from the board and crushed the paper into her hand. "Fine, fine, I'll take it, damnit." She said, frowning and shooting a glare over at the man behind the desk. It was obvious that people weren't rushing to trek through the old sewers of all things, but such a blatant display of coercing the sharkwoman really left a bad taste in her mouth. Veice walked out onto the city streets, rain was coming down again in Loguetown. It seemed like ever since she had arrived the storms had been passing over again and again. It was just her luck that it was the rainy season though. The water droplets coated her body and left her skin looking slick and smooth, even if it was still rather rough. It sure beat a hot, overbearing sun and no water around at all, that was for certain. She took a deep breath, able to smell the dampness of the rain and the people around her. She had finally gotten those spices out of her nose after her meeting with Darsis and that kid. What a weird deal that had been. Regardless, Veice lifted the piece of paper to look at it before she stashed it away in her coat. She had only been able to track down a couple of little locals recently, enough to eat and find a place to live, but this was money that she needed for the travels. Her first stop was going to be the city hall to track down any old maps of the sewers she could find. Then it would be right into the breech to track down this freak or monster or whatever. She walked away from the office, going through puddles and past the tiny roaring rivers that were forming from the guided rainwater. "The hunt begins again..." |

The library underneath Loguetown's City Hall was, to the shock of no-one, almost completely empty. The old building had been built upon an even older structure, and the massive bricks that made up the walls caused a person walking within them to feel almost smaller than usual. For Veice the situation was a little different, after all she was six and a half feet tall and had trouble fitting through some of the lower doorways. A short discussion with the guards finally allowed her access, and after she had spoken to the librarian as well she had been allowed access, although temporary, to the old city maps. "You'd think no one ever needed these." Veice commented to herself in the silence, unrolling one of the scrolls that the maps were formed up into. There was dust everywhere in the archives - on all the books, on the shelves, on the tables. It made her long for Fishman island, where a light current would keep everything clean. Of course, human information was kept on paper, which didn't have much of a track record when it came to being submerged. The sharkwoman blew a little dust from the corner of the map and looked it over. The sewers of Loguetown had been designed by two men, from what Veice could tell. A genius and a madman. It looked like the first person to dig down and start work had created a system of tubes and pools that kept water clear and moving through the city, from the furthest point the town still existed out to the ocean. Now, the second man had been building for a much larger city and apparently a much small budget. In comparison, he had added routes that made no sense, sections that were ineffective or completely pointless and spent at least a hundred yards to build piping that did little except override an even greater length of the old sewers. "The underground areas are probably formed from dig-sites... I can't see those on these maps." Veice told herself, stretching out the map to look at the furthest corners. "I don't even have the most current maps. This last one looks like it's forty years old at least." She sighed. A general idea would stop her from starving down there, but what she really needed was a 'The Lizardman lives here' sign on the map. [/i]"He can't be anywhere the water is too fast or too plentiful. These dead stretches are the best place to start..."[/i] Veice rolled the maps back up after a little bit of research and then put them away completely. At least she knew that none of the other Bounty Hunters had bothered to read a goddamn map before jumping into the sewers. That meant that there was a slim chance this Lizardman was a lot less dangerous that his track record might prove. A word she had gotten in with a couple of fellows earlier suggested the Lizardman had mostly been sighted towards the slummier part of town. "And even if the sewer entrances are closed, I know of a little drainage river that might prove mighty helpful..." She mentioned to herself, heading off to a familiar battle site in that part of town. Edited by Dyson, Apr 3 2010, 05:18 PM.

The city streets were pretty calm at this time of day, there were some comings and goings but there weren't enough people to get in Veice's way at all. The few who even set eyes on her gave her enough leeway to walk and army past them. She let out a small chuckle and rolled her eyes towards them as she passed, partially amused and partially disgusted by their reactions. They could treat her like some kind of monster all they wanted, but she still didn't like that distrustful look they were giving her. It made her feel completely out of place - which was true enough - but also made her feel like they were looking down on her as well. As the travel towards the river continued, it came to mind to Veice that if she showed up in a place often enough without introduction, she'd probably get a bounty as well. 'The Blue Beast of Loguetown' they'd call her, hanging a poster with a stupid piece of artwork instead of a real picture. Maybe when she got to the bottom of the story, she'd find something similar with this case. Well, she certainly hoped not. If it was all some kind of stupid misunderstanding she'd be wasting her time without a dime to show for it, and that went against good business sense. Hell, if Loguetown was such a place where a misunderstanding would turn into a five million beli bounty poster, she might as well move onto the next town. Her internal thoughts passed the time well enough, and she found herself overlooking the river once more. A few people were walking around nearby, even as she bent down to look at the shattered blocks that had been lifted up and thrown at her during the fight with the Axeman. The bridge that had been destroyed hadn't been fixed at all - in fact, Veice suspected few people outside of the slums even cared about it. Wooden boards had been placed across the stretch however, and some industrious types had looted all of the shattered stone from the river's flow. Everything was worth money to someone, after all. Veice looked back and forth before neatly diving into the river. It was still raining a lot lately as the surge in the river made it extra deep. She couldn't help but enjoy herself a little, swirling around in the clear waters and swimming upstream and down looking for an entrance gate. It wasn't saltwater, but she couldn't help but enjoy the feeling of being submerged in it. It was her nature, really. A black gate with small flecks of rust showing around the edges of the bars greeted Veice a little upstream from the collapsed bridge and gave her reason to smile. She put her large hands around the bars and gave a great tug, the iron barely creaking as she pulled with all her strength. She even went so far as to move her feet up in order to push off the wall completely. With a great lurch the gate moved all of an inch. She stopped and looked closely and found that she had succeeded at pulling a single bolt out of the stone and bending it. It was stuck tight and even pulling around the spot produced little effect. She sighed, her depressed expressed by a series of swirling bubbles. She didn't have saw-swords and couldn't get through the gate by removing the bolt, her swords would be useless after slashing through the toughened iron, and even if she tried to bite her way through - well, that didn't seem to interest her very much. Veice jump back onto the street outside of the river, shaking the water off of her like a dog. It was always a wise decision for her to wear clothing that dried rather quickly, though her rough skin didn't take issue with wet clothes anyway. If she was correct, this was the 18th Street river draining pipe. Some of the drains emptied into it, but there was also sewer access nearby. She followed the approximate direction of the pipe until she reached a manhole cover in an alleyway. Well, she hadn't had high hopes for them, but they were her only option now. She jammed her fingers into a couple of the holes and nearly lifted out the cover, shoving it to the side. It seemed that she had luckily enough found a cover that had been in recent used, because the edge was clear of rust and grime. Veice climbed carefully into the hole and replaced the cover. As she dropped, she splashed into a low river of tainted water that caused her face to twist slightly. It wasn't filthy, but she didn't want to swim in this kind of stuff either. It only went up her knees, fortunately, but she wore sandals and could feel the liquid moving between her toes. The older sewer pipes would probably be to the North, so she got her bearings quickly and started northward to further her investigation. |

It was not a good day. The floor was uncomfortable, damp, and the constant rain and water had made the temperature drop quite a bit. Making her shiver and moving around a bit to keep herself warm. As her tail flicked around at random, and hit the sides here and there, Vel Osso couldn't help but have her teeth chatter in this rather uncomfortable sewer. She didn't even come here a day ago to find some work and bad luck seemed to follow her. -------------------------------- Having used up the majority of her funds she got from her old on traveling around from place to place, it was rather obvious to Vel that she needed to find some work or she would be dining on insects. However, she did not seem to have any luck finding any black smiths. Wearing a rather heavy coat to keep the rain and cold off her, she spent the entire time in her hybrid lizard form. While it did make her stand out a bit, it's not like every other person stood out in some way or form. ...It was until she went to a old ma and pa store run by a old lady that she realized it was a proooooobably a bad idea to stay in that form. Especially so the moment she took off the coat when the old lady stared at her, jaw hanging, before beaning her upside the head with a broom shouting, 'It's the Lizardman of Logue Town! Return to the crevice that spawned you demon!'. She couldn't get a word in edge wise as she was smacked around by this elderly old woman who was probably some sort of master of broom-fu, so she did the only 'smart' move at the time; getting the heck out of there. Of course, in all the rushing to avoid another broom bashing, she had a fatal flaw in this brilliant plan: she forgot her coat. As people around the store noticed her and started to scream, she looked for a place to hide and avoid the unjustly angry mob. Luckily, there was a old sewer grate nearby and with a quick change into her lizard form, she was home free. She didn't know about the poster or the deaths, but shivering a bit in her half lizard form she could hear something splashing towards her. Scared it was one of those unnaturally angry towns people, she clutched her spear and hugged the wall. Slowly peaking out to see what was coming as her heart raced and her tail fidgeted. |

Veice couldn't help but make a good amount of noise as she sloshed through the shallow water in the city's pipes. It was almost completely pitch black, only the occasional pipe overhead provided some amount of light, the reflection of which echoed up and down giving at least an outline of the pipe. Her brow was furrowed in the constantly shifting darkness when she heard something ahead of her that wasn't a mere echo. It was much too early to find the Lizardman, but none the less the sharkwoman had her hands on her katanas and strode more carefully forward. In dim light that was cast by a grate above them, Veice could see what was most definitely a humanoid lizard. She would have given thanks for her luck, but her prey was armed and already on the defensive. Not having the drop on her opponent, she moved within a few paces and smiled, letting her predatory teeth glint in the poor lighting. "You're a long way from where you should be, you know." Veice commented drawing both of her swords, the fine steel glinting as she did so. "Sorry I'm not up for introductions, Lizardman!" Veice roared, charging forward with her twin blades up and at the ready. She moved in with a heavy slash at her top speed, and twisted her body in order to deal with spear strikes. The length meant that the further away she was the worse her situation, but she could be able to get right in close and remove some of that danger. As she began her assault on her opponent, one of Veice's eyes twitched. She had expected something a little more... Bestial? The lizardman seemed to be rather slim and almost a little afraid. This wasn't exactly the demon of the sewers she had hoped for. Also, he was out in the middle of nowhere and not in his base, but looked like he had been there for a while. Come to think of it, she noticed something else as well. Humans may not be used to the small details, but Veice grew up amoung the varied populations of the Fishmen. Was it just her, or did the Lizardman seem a little too... Feminine? |

As Vel continued to quietly peaked and clutched her spear, she hoped upon hope it was just that crazy old lady with the broom. PLEASE let it be that crazy old lady with the broom. Sure enough, it was crazy and probably a lady, but unless she found the fountain of youth, learned the secrets of the elemental plane of teeth and became some sort of land shark, that seemed very unlikely. Also, where would an old lady hold two katanas? Those look NOTHING like brooms. As she contemplated the situation, she realized the problem in front of her gave a startled 'Meep!' and quickly jumped in the air to avoid the sword blows. Using one hand, she grabbed onto the exposed grate with all her might to avoid the rather sharp and pointy death below. After the initial shock, she began to speak up rather loudly. "W-What's the big deal?! I haven't been here a day and only asked for directions and somehow I have been spending the entire time running away from over powered old ladies and angry mobs! Do you guys have something against female blacksmiths or WHAT?!" As she continued to spout complaints of being almost cut down by the very person she is complaining to, a random pedestrian stepped on her fingers. Which not only cause her to wince in pain, but let go and fall rather unceremoniously. It was a good thing she managed to avoid hurting herself too much, but now there was the fact that she is face to face with a very scary looking woman with two swords aimed at her. Oh Murphy, you truly are a card. |

Veice stood over Vel and there was a noise of metal on metal, but it wasn't of her preparing her weapon. She slipped both swords back into her sheaths and glared at the lizard woman. Taking a good look at her, there was no way that she could believe this was a wanted criminal. Even if it was, she certainly wasn't going to turn in someone so innocent just for a meaningless reward. "Damnit, what the hell are you doing here?" She asked rhetorically, looking up and down the pipe for signs of anything else. "Listen," Veice started, squinting upwards in the daylight that drifted in. "There's a dangerous... Well, let's assume that it's a creature, that's been down here in the sewers." She looked to Vel and then sighed again. "It's a lizardman of some sort. I'm not sure what you are, but I really doubt you're it." She commented, crossing her arms. She exposed her sharp teeth and ran her tongue along the inside, sucking in a small amount of the stuffy air and displeased with the small the leaked in with it. "I'm hunting it. It's my job." The sharkwoman added, looking over Vel. "I don't know what your deal is, but if you're going above ground, I suggest finding a way to disguise yourself. Humans aren't really that friendly to anyone that's different, you know?" Veice told her, giving her a somewhat friendly smile - teeth and all - before turning her back on the lizard girl and stopping a few feet away to work on her directions. She paused, however, to look back at her. "If you plan to stick around here, I'd suggest being a little more careful. If I was able to make you jump, who's to say what that lizard man would do if he got his hands on you." She suggested in slight jest before turning back around. "Now, if I continue down this way..." Viece said to herself, going over her directions. This pipe would pass right over a junction of the old sewers, and there should be a pipe or something leading the the way over to it. From there, she'd be able to head in a more direct route towards the supposed base of the Lizardman, or atleast what she was able to figure from the maps and the stories of locals. |

As Vel braced herself for what could be her one way trip to becoming some rich woman's baggage, she breathed a sigh of relief as the attack never came upon her. Instead, the shark lady simply asked what she was doing here. She almost said, 'shitting my pants in fear' but rather decided to stay quiet and listen to what she was saying. So apparently, there was some other guy who was going around, causing alot of trouble and was also a lizard. While it did explain all the shenanigans, she was a bit peeved over the fact that she was being accused for some jerk's crimes. She couldn't get mad at her since she was trying to hunt down the real bad guy and she was understanding. It was a nice change. As the fishwoman headed on her way down the pipe, Vel followed closely behind her. Clutching her spear. As they were moving, she quietly said to her, "Ummmm, I'm Vel by the way.. since if I go up ground I'll likely be considered the bad guy, mind if I help you look for him? I want to at least clear my name ya know and I can use my spear pretty well, so I can help you out a bit. Besides, while I do jump a bit, I can jump high. Hitting from above and the front could be really handy, right?" |

Veice looked back to Vel and gave her a smile and then shrugged. "More the merrier." She commented, not having a ton else to say. She cleared her throat into her fist and then offered a strange Fishman salute. "Veice Vicious, Bounty Hunter, at your service." The sharkwoman said in a rather needlessly polite way. She couldn't help but laugh a bit, and nodded. "It's good if you're able to use that spear, since I'm not here to babysit, eh?" She told her with a pointed finger. She paused and listened, then kept walking in silence. A little further down the pipe, the noise of running water had become very obvious. There was also a green glow that was glittering on the water. Veice stopped on the spot and looked out to a metal pipe that had been completely shatter from the inside out. It revealed a much larger tunnel that was running underneath the current sewers, and it was fairly easy to tell that it was the old sewer system. Veice motioned for Vel to follow and jumped out through the crack in the heavy pipe, landing with a splash in the fresh water below. It was only knee deep and water falling from the higher kept the pool cooler and cleaner than the surrounding. "A lot brighter in here than I expected." Veice commented, walking from the river to the solid shore on either side. She sniffed the air and peered at the moss on the wall, scratching at it and looking at the material in her palm. "Oi, Vel." She said, waving the moss around. "Looks like Loguetown is set on a goldmine of glowing mosses, eh?" The sharkwoman said, tossing the small ball of plantlife into the river. "Well, we're in the old sewers now, so that means we might finally be getting closer." She commented. The walls of the old sewers were much higher and the design much grander than the newer lines were. The glowing along the walls caused bright spots that illuminated the pipes in a good degree of light, making it fairly easy to navigate. Veice didn't bother to look after the lizardgirl and walked ahead, following her mental map. Now that that they were in the old system, they might begin to see signs of this 'Lizardman of Loguetown'. Veice was no more than thirty meters from their entrance when she saw a rag-covered skeleton, the flesh ripped from its bones by claws and one entire arm completely missing. "Huh. That could be unrelated, but..." Veice commented with one brow raised. |

Vel gave a grin and a nod as Veice introduced herself. It was a rather different way of greeting, but it's not like she could complain in that regard when Veice found her in the sewer. Besides, having a bounty hunter as a friend isn't bad as long as you aren't a pirate and the chance to trade in the cause of her bad luck for cash does sound good. Could solve some of her cash problems too. Heading into the rather eerie glowing moss tunnel, Vel looked around and took note at the various small pipes running off here and there. "I guess I could understand why the fake would hide in here. Even if it's the newer section, unless the towns folk knew where they were going, they would likely get lost. Makes me feel kinda silly only going half way in..." Stopping mid sentence, Vel noticed the glowing moss Veice rolled into a ball and came up with a clever idea. Taking a bit more moss than Veice, she rolled the glowing moss into a semi flat shape, then wrapped and stuck it near the head of her spear. "It's no torch, but you never if we run into some darker tunnels. Besides, there's probably a bunch of uses for this stuff." With her new spear accessory in tow, Veice finally announced that they were in the old sewers. For something that's main purpose was to filter poo water away from civilization, it was rather.. grand. She would expect something this big for maybe an important building, but who in their right mind would create a mausoleum to man manure? What a waste of pure talent. Still, when Veice pointed out something, Vel snapped out of her artisan thought pattern and noticed the heavily mauled corpse. She had to hold back her gag reflex on the very sight of this thing. "Yeah... really don't think I would be able to do that without getting sick. I may have claws, but they aren't that big. Heck, I don't even think I COULD rip someones arm off. Still, whatever thing that got him was probably hungry." |

"Smart idea." Veice pointed out as Vel took some of the moss for herself. It was kind of difficult to say very much in these sewers, not only because walking through the maze-like design required concentration, but because one was doing what they could not to breath in the air. The sharkwoman remained pretty quiet as the occasional evidence of a large predator in the sewers continued to prove that they were on the right trail. Claw marks in solid stone was probably the most distressing, but even that didn't throw her off the trail. Deeper within the sewers, the darkness came in occasional waves. Apparently the moss didn't grow just anywhere, and the dimmer glow off of Vel's spear helped keep them from slipping, but the noise from hidden pipes to their sides roared when they got close without them ever seeing them. The Sharkwoman sniffed the air suddenly, picking up a familiar scent. "I was wondering about that..." She said to herself, waving for Vel to follow as she picked up speed and ran to a large pipe. She leaned down to the ground and followed a small trail of red that led to a tiny corpse. It was a rat, a rather big rat really. "Look at this." Veice said, standing aside so that Vel could see it. "Didn't you notice that we hadn't seen any wildlife down here? Looks like we know what our friend's real food source is." She told her partner, rolling the rat over carefully to look at the large slash wound that had split open its chest. "This is... Fresh." She commented as she poked around the wound. There was a splashing up ahead and her head shot up as she stared directly down a off-shoot pipe. "Got him!" She growled, rushing forward through the pipe to give chase. As Veice splashed ahead, Vel would be able to hear a growl echoing down the sewers from behind them. It was coming from a dark section of the main line so nothing could be seen. Maybe it was just a pipe? |

Feeling a bit proud of the approval from an actual professional hunter, but she quickly remembered the situation with the skeleton and the fact that they were facing something rather vicious. The fact that the signs were getting clearer and clearer weren't very promising on it being something small. She had to admit, claws that could cut stone would likely be pretty good material for a spear, but she'd rather not be on the receiving end. As they continued to go deeper and deeper into the maze of tunnels and sewage pipes, he clutched her glowing spear rather tightly as she heard the rumbling and roars from the pipes. Veice showing her the slashed up corpse of a rather ugly looking rat didn't help her ease of thought. The thought that went through her head made her less at ease. "Ummm Veice..? Wild guess here, but if there are not very many creatures hear, how long do you think it will take for this creature from going after big prey? It doesn't look like it has a problem with- H-hey! Wait up!" As Veice rushed towards the sound of water splashing. Trying to keep up with the merwoman was a bit hard, but the sound of growling caused her to shiver uncontrollably as she automatically got on guard. Spear at the ready. "V-veice? I'm starting to think th-there may be more than one Veice!" |

"Don't worry about it!" Veice called back as she dashed through the sewer pipe. "We're down here to catch him, not study him!" The shallow water in the pipe splashed with her every step, but she could still hear up ahead that someone else was running as well. She slid around a corner and looked ahead towards the literal light at the end of the tunnel. She grinned and continued forward, turning back for only an instance as Vel's last call hit her. "What did you say?" She called back, looking ahead just as she ran out of pipe. The pipe gave way to a large room coated in the glowing moss, multiple pipes feeding water while a single large one led further away. Veice had no real idea what the purpose of it was, but that didn't matter much as her escape from the pipe was followed by a drop of several meters into the deep water that filled half the room. She crashed into it with a splash, the sharkwoman quickly resurfacing and looking around the rest of the room. There were metal catwalks along the top of the room, including ones that passed near the pipe she had fallen from. There were a few places to get one's footing and a couple broken ladders on the walls, but getting out of the water wasn't a big focus to Veice right now. A deep laughter came from one of the catwalks above that caught Veice attention. It was coming from a man, dressed in a green bodysuit with scales painted on as well as gloves and a helmet with eyes drawn on it. It didn't take much brainpower to figure out that this was more than likely the 'Lizardman' that everyone was worried about in the city. He pulled a cape in front of his face and laughed again in a very practiced manner. "Another fool falls into the trap of... THE LIZARDMAN!" He cackled. "Do not force yourself, you will find that getting out of my watery trap is most impossible. You will tired and soon your hunt for me will end with my success!" "Actually..." Veice said, swimming in the water quite easily as she watched him talk. "I don't think this pool is going to give me much trouble." She pointed out, not even feeling the need to point out the gills on the sides of her neck. "As you slowly drown..." The Lizardman said, striking a pose as he ignored Veice. "Let me tell you my tragic story... You see, I was once like you. A normal person living on the surface..." Veice didn't even open her mouth to respond to that. "And yet I was pushed away by those who failed to understand me! How tragic and fortuitous it was when a freak accident with a radioactive lizard turned me into this monstrosity! A beastly non-human forced to live in the sewers away from the mankind that cannot understand me!" He continued. "Okay, I can see zippers." Veice said as the man continued to give his speech. "Hey Vel! Careful coming out of the pipe! Grab that catwalk!" She called out. Vel would find that whatever was tracking her from behind didn't want to be seen. It was able to follow her into the pipes but would remain just behind the last corner, growling in a hungry manner that almost rocked the solid walls of the pipes. Not only did it seem like it was waiting for Vel to turn her back on it for just long enough, but... Could it have been forcing her towards the exit that Veice took up ahead? |

As Veice called back to her, Vel could just see her as she rounded the turn... and when she fell down with a good splash. Speeding up a bit, she stopped just short of that last step as it seemed that they found their target. Still, she wasn't dumb. She heard something and it wasn't friendly. While the guy did look like a joke, she remained in the large pipe. Various thoughts went through her head. Many consisted of why he thinks he's a lizard, why he thought it was a good idea at the time, does he even know what he's talking about, and if had been eating the moss. Still, at least the guy isn't saying he was raised by lizards and he managed to pretty much warn her about the trap by telling Veice. Giving a silent nod from the info Veice gave her, she took a step back and did a small leap to the rather close cat walk. Using her tail, she stabilized herself on the path and slowly faced the 'lizard man'. She did not look to pleased seeing the source of her woe."Ya know, you caused me a whole lot of trouble, you know that? I've been having a REALLY bad day, and it's because of some crazy old man with a weird looking helmet and... are those scales painted on?" Taking a glance down at Veice who was still in the 'pit', she spoke to her clearly as she could. "Hey Veice, mind if I take a shot at this guy? I have this strong urge for some closure and I can use all the help I can get. You are alot more experienced at this than me after all." Spear at the ready, Vel did her best to look menacing, but it was obvious this was her first actual combat. Crazy man or not, she doesn't have much battle experience. Besides, she had a strong feeling that those growls she heard before belong to something hunting them, and she would very much not like to be attacked from behind. |

"Go ahead." Veice said, swimming in place and offering a hand up to give her an 'okay'. The sharkwoman turned to look at the Lizardman, who was frozen in place it seemed, and instead looked back to the pipe where Vel had come out of. There was a growling sound and the distant noise of splashing that attracted her attention. "Wait, didn't she say..." She thought just as a shadow breeched the edge of the pipe and suddenly broke into the light of the glowing moss. The first thing the shadow did as it erupted out of the pipe was try to snap at Vel's hanging tail that she was using to retain balance. Unfortunately for it, the lizardgirl had moved far enough along the catwalks to make it difficult to do so. Of course, the anatomy of the creature didn't help either. Veice couldn't help but watch with her mouth wide when a massive squirming, scaly creature slid out and crashed into the surface of the water. That was exactly what had been hunting them with they were in the sewers, and it had obviously hunted a lot of other people too. A gigantic crocodile looking no less a demon than anything straight out of hell. As the monster plummeted into the water with a heavy splash, the Lizardman finally made his move. He approached Vel slowly, finally getting onto the same walkway as her. "You..." He said, raising his hands. "You're.... Beautiful!" He said in a voice so happy that sparkles almost seemed to erupt from the eyes drawn onto his helmet. He approached another step, clasping his hands together. "Oh Scaly Goddess from above, tell me your name! I have waited so long for you to find me! Please, I bet of you, stay with me beneath the city and become my Queen!" He said to her in a sing-song voice. He approached her almost in a daze, like he was dancing along the catwalk towards her. "Oh geez." Veice said, looking up at the lovebird and then quickly back down to the water. Just in time too, as a giant jaw opened up in front of her and snapped down. She countered by sticking her blades across the monster's mouth, but the force was so great that it snapped downwards onto her swords and slammed into the fishwoman's chest with his snout. The creature slapped its tail and charged into Veice again, pushing her downwards into the water. "I'm not like a normal human, ya fool." She told the croc as she worked to pull her blades from its maw. The monster responded by spinning in a death roll, Veice's grip on her swords causing her to be taken for a ride as well. When the croc finally tired, its mouth opened just enough for the twin blades to slash out, nicking teeth as they went. Veice's head lolled a bit as she recovered from the spin, almost feeling motion sick under the water. "Goddamn monster! Are you the one really taking people out?" She yelled at it, slashing in an 'X' across the monster and drawing blood along its chin. Edited by Dyson, May 2 2010, 05:10 PM.
