Buster felt relieved in his jumbled thoughts,
Oh, that's right, you haven't met. No matter, forget a sai... thought anything.
the rabbit returned to calmly eating his pizza, then thought to himself, I'm lucky we weren't in a psychic conference call. I have to be more careful. and hope he never meets him.

Oh, well I'll have to get to meet her then. Miles thought to Buster. And here I was thinking I've met everyone in this neighborhood. But still, the big thing is, now what do I do about it?

<What do you mean? I'm at home, and I've... am I to far away and our thoughts are cutting out a little?> Rena thought to Miles, scratching her head a bit, wondering what he heard as she stepped through the door into her home. "Ma, you here?" She called out after she closed the door, to be answered by an awkward silence. "... I'll just take that as a 'no'." She said to herself before she started looking around for something she could hand to Gage.

NO sir! I wasn't thinking of any thing like that. Mason said loudly. I don't have the kind of money to pay for this with me. But my dad has plenty and can easily pay for this.

You better not be lying to me mutt. I never forget a face, so don't even think about trying anything funny.

Gage ate slowly, he didn't really have much of an appetite, the thought of going into the woods was eating at him.
He talked in a low voice, not wanting anyone to overhear the conversation. "So what's our plan when we find that thing again?"

"Well, Rena wants to deal with it," Miles said, "Either talk to it, or, well, otherwise. I just wanted to follow it and see if what I thought was going on was going on. But I've got very little to go on."

Eh heh heh heh, no, no it doesn't work like that Rena. But I took it to mean that Gage and Buster might be at each others throats. Or did you mean you might be at Gage and Busters throats?

<What? No, not THEM being at one another's throats, Duke and I being at the other's throat, and that making Gage and Buster uncomfortable.> Rena thought back to Miles as she looked about the house, stopping when a familiar smell came across her nose. "What is that?" She asked, as she went back over all the scents she could remember.

Since Duke had gottn a fast and quite unruly start for his pizza it was only a matter of a few minutes before he had eaten the pizza, in which he had never had something that good before, but when he heard the others talking about the feral again he felt that even if this was Renas job. he would try his best to respect that.

"Well if I may, i'm all for talking to this thing but what if it's not in the talking mood? I mean they can get pretty nasty, especially if its canine, i'm not doubting Rena's ability to fight it, but er well look i'm confident that she can handle it, but what if something goes wrong?"

Buster pulled a kunai out of his bag and spun it around on his finger. "If it's too much to handle, I'll try to even the odds a bit before I make a bold retreat. Plus, Miles can do whatever he can to hold it back without fear for his life."

And if all else fails I think you three are all faster than me. Heh, then again I am bite sized so I'm not sure how much time that'll buy you.

No sir this is the owner of the arcade, your pet and his friend broke one of my machines and I'm very interested in where they'll be getting the money to replace it.

Rex took back the phone "Thanks, sir." He glanced at Christopher, then at Mason, giving them a slightly worried look.
~~~
Back at the Rockbed's house, Matt once again sighed and put his cellphone back in it's sheet.
"I really hate when people say "all due respect"." he grumbled as he fixed his tie and grabbed the keys to the car "Well, it's showtime!". He got out of the house, locked it and got into the car, starting the engines the moment he closed the door.

Thanks for helping me out but my dad could have covered the costs as well. Mason said to Rex. I'm to blame here, so why does your dad have to pay for my mistake? I mean, why are you doing this for me?

The GSD smiled and put a paw on Mason's shoulder "Easy - because you're my friend."

Do I need to stand in between you and him? Miles thought to Rena quietly finishing his pizza.

"Well, my idea is, go out to my house, wait a bit to get organized," Miles said, "Then, since Rena, I think, knows these woods best, let her lead and we'll look for it. Unless, you know, it finds us first. Since, last time, it cornered us at the house and spoke, so, we could speak to it then. I guess."

Marine Fox · Post by **Marine Fox** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 1:55 am

As soon as Miles finished Duke immediately sat straight up and looked over to Miles.

"It spoke? Like how? Mumbled, dissoriented, clear? Any of that?"

"I was too busy fearing for my life to really notice," Buster said calmly before taking another sip of his carrot juice as he took another bite of his second slice of pizza.

<Actually, I need you right behind him.> She though back to the ghost-cat... Honestly, she found it was still a little weird to think about it. <First sign of trouble from him, and you can think it to Gage, Buster, and myself, so that we're not taken of guard by him attacking us by surprise.> She added to her thought, as she started following the scent to whatever it was she was smelling.

xhunterko · Post by **xhunterko** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:15 pm

Your really worried about him doing something aren't you? Miles said, throwing a glance to Duke.

"Well, he mainly complained that he was hungry, and didn't like Hubert not letting him murder us, them," Miles said, then with a frown, "He also tried to get Rena's attention. The nerve."

Marine Fox · Post by **Marine Fox** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:53 pm

Duke was too caught up thinking to notice Miles glance

"Hrmm well this complicates things, from how it sounds, it has already confirmed as hostile atleast if this hubert isn't around and with its intelligence if it does attack its just gonna be that much harder for us to capture it or whatever we do with it, then again it might've calmed down and mabey we can reason with it, or if possible reason with this hubert since it has authority over the feral."

Dukestarted to tap his digits on the table, still thinking about this

<What do we know about him Miles? A name? A face? He's a feral, he's more likely to aim for his own survival than everyone else's, an' as much as he follows rules, I don't know what he's aiming for, which means it could be anything... I'd like to not take chances on that something being fresh rabbit meat.> She thought back to Miles, pulling her rawhide bone out from under her mom's bed. "What in tarnation?" She asked herself, confused on how it ended up in that bedroom in general.

<Reason is not even an option with the Hunter,> said a voice in the air, as if its ource was speaking right over the table.
A moment later, a ghostly blue flame appeared over the table, and the flame took the shape of a small dragonfairie with golden...bespectacled eyes. "Greetings, mortals."

Wed Jun 06, 2012 12:09 am

"Hello, Hubert. Would you mind telling us how you know this thing so well?" Buster asked, hoping to actually find the answers to his questions before risking his life.

xhunterko · Post by **xhunterko** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 12:21 am

"Oh yes, exactly, please," Miles said, folding his hands under his chin and eyeing the dragon-ghost with suspicion, "Do tell."

And if, pray tell, he needn't need the fresh rabbit meat if he's already eaten? He thought to Rena. Hubert's here by the way.

<Then he'll come after myself or Gage for territory, or maybe he has some other agenda, I don't know, but I don't feel like risking any kind of attack.> Rena thought to Miles as she walked to her bed, tossing her rawhide on it.

<Now YOU... Oh th' things I 'ave ta say ta ya...> The Shiba Inu thought to Hubert, knowing he'd hear her. An' I hope y'all was s'spectin' this, 'cause I know y'all're gonna try once 'gain ta make my life horribly confusin' if you, th' ghost lookin' after Janus, is showin' up at Gordie's Pizza for some unknown reason. So what the ** are you doing there? She finished, the growling edge that was in her voice whenever she was angry seeping into her thoughts.

Duke jumped a little from the little ghost-dragon that appeared on the table, to him this was really stretching his ability to comprehend all this and he was somewhat feeling like he'd accidentally eaten some hallucinagenic berries again and this was all in his head.

"Uhhhh, er uh ok, this is uhmm new."

Wed Jun 06, 2012 1:43 am

"Oh. Duke, this is Hubert. Hubert, Duke," Buster said, indicating with his paw the one he was mentioning. "Now answer the question."

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:02 am

"It is quite easy. The Hunter moved into these territories together with the mortal Janus. he claims as his the woods, and he will hunt and devour those who oppose him."

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:39 am

So how do we get rid of him?

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:51 am

You don't, unless your idea is to raze the whole woods. And even then, he'll just move to the city. Leave him alone, and he won't harm you. I made him promise that, in return of leaving the human community alone."

Marine Fox · Post by **Marine Fox** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 11:54 am

"What about other's? Like unknown people or pets wandering into his territory? It could be dangerous for them as well, is there a way to move consoladate him or get him deeper into the woods?"

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 1:10 pm

Hubert turned his slender muzzle to the fox. "As long as you move during daylight, you shall be safe. The Hunter moves at night, for he's strictly nocturnal."

Wed Jun 06, 2012 1:54 pm

Buster wasn't quite satisfied with this answer. Hubert, The rabbit thought to the dragon spirit, just level with me. Is that... thing... actually Janus? I need to know. If the answer's yes, maybe it will help me sort out my feelings. The rabbit stared at Hubert with a pleading look on his face, just hoping his emotional confusion would end. He really didn't like the feeling of being a slave to his emotions.

"Pretty tale," Miles said, narrowing his gaze further, "Forgive me if I don't believe it. Why, would a normal pet tolerate or live with a feral as murderous as the one that we encountered. And, again with that name. Buster. Please describe Janus to me, male or female, black or white, I want the details. All of them. And if we have to raze the forest or burn the city to ashes to find the menace, then so be it." Miles's tail twitched in irritation.

Miles's tail twitched in irritation.

Buster sighed and attempted to recall all the information he could, which was a lot considering a) he was a perceptive rabbit and b) he might be in love. "He's a dog with reddish grey fur. Some sort of wolf Dog, judging by appearance. He's muscular and is, I'd say, between 5 and 6 feet tall. He has a black stripe on his back, it may not go all the way up though. He has abushy tail with a black tip. He has green eyes, but the pupils are slit like those of a cat. He wears a black vest of some sort, possibly military because of the pockets on them, and wears a green collar. It looks like a shock collar judging by the lightning bolt. His tag appears to be a moon in either in its first or third quarter. That's all I can give you."
