				In the land of Minegarde the Small Village of Pokke is one of many that is home to the bravest of people, The Monster Hunters. Men and Women who take on dangerous quests to fight against the fearsome beasts that roam there lands, be it to protect the villages they come from, for materials they need or just for the fame and glory of taking on huge monsters so that they may have there names written down as legends. <br><br>The Village known as Pokke resides in the snowy mountains region of the lands, the summer times only just reaching above 0, you don't even want to know about the winters. it is in this small secluded but peaceful place that we find the legends of a small group of hunters who's names are about to carve up the world like no hunter has ever seen before.<br><br>Reynik couldn't believe his luck, he had been traveling to Pokke from Kokoto, the village he had been living in since he had lost his own to the elder dragon attack "man this place is freezing" he cursed, fishing through his pack for a hot drink, he was thankful that he still had a large amount left, who knew when he would find the village, or if anyone from the village would find him. a loud roar, he turned and couldn't help but wonder if fear was a counter measure for hot drinks because despite having just taken one, he felt like he needed another, and possibly a change of pants....... <br><br>there in the snow, looking at him like he was a birthday cake was an overly large white creature, its two large fangs stretched out into weapons that looked like they could skewer a man in seconds "ah shit" he muttered before he turned around as calmly as he could..... and then ran like hell. The Blagonga naturally chased after him, its roars echoing in the snow covered peak, this was so not the way Reynik envisioned his first day.

				As luck would have it for Reynik, the beast had suddenly been stunned by a stun bullet before it had a chance to hurt the lone hunter. The bullet had came from a female huntress, wielding a heavy bowgun. She had a mission to hunt that very same Blagonga, and had already weakened it as it was fleeing. The beast had managed to elude her before she had a chance to kill it and had somehow managed to find its way to Reynik in the meantime. The girl had then fired several more shots at the stunned beast before she needed to reload. She then yelled while doing so. "Finish it before the stun wears off!"&nbsp;

				He had no idea who this girl was but who was he to argue, heaving the great sword from his back he sent it swinging in an arc over his head, smashing the Blagonga in the face, a cringe worthy crunch followed as the hit smashed its way through bone, fur and meat, with a deffening roar the beast collapsed, seeming to struggle against the pain of its new wound and the stun shots it was still effected by. After a few seconds however it succombed to its wounds and fell down, silent from then on.<br><br>"what the hell was that?" Reynik gasped, it was clear he had never been in the snow regions before, or even been a hunter for long, his outfit consisted of a low level fur armor and his weapon was a basic iron great sword "thanks, you really saved me back there"

				On the other side of town, oblivious to the battle that was just happening outside of the borders, Cairus was sitting in the tavern and relaxing after what he considered to be a pretty damn long and stressful day. It was difficult finding hunts that he could take on by himself, and even more difficult to find a group that was willing to take an 'unproven' hunter like himself. It drove him absolutely crazy that nobody was even willing to give him a chance, but he swore that one day he'd eventually show them that he was worth their attention, and they'd regret not having the chance to accept him into their ranks when they were given the chance.<br><br>He just needed one open door, that one big hunt, that one defining moment... That was all he needed to propel his career as a hunter.<br><br>The fire in the tavern crackled and glowed with life, providing the entire building with a comforting warmth that provided a stark contrast from the extremely cold outside. As such, he ended up spending most of his evenings here after a day of trying to get his foot in the door or going on meager and small, inconsequential hunts.

				"It was a Blagonga," said the blue armored woman as she sheathed the large gun on her back and gathered the necessary materials from its corpse. "I was sent to kill it so I can gather its fur for my client. Are you alright?" She started to look back and reflect on her performance during her battle, realizing something she could of done. "Oh, dammit, I wish I had of marked it when I had the chance! Otherwise, I could of caught up to it and killed it sooner before it attacked you. I'm such an idiot!" She cursed herself for not realizing she had an extra red paintball on her which would usually help track fleeing targets. She groaned unpleasantly from her error.

				Not far from the village, almost perfectly at the edge of the forest, a young woman with black hair emerged from the murky water of a river, throwing her hair back to shake the water free from it. Pulling free from the strength of the current, she would have been an attractive display if not for the hulking lizard corpse that she dragged out with her. Using every muscle in her arm, she dragged the dead Ludroth out of the river and onto the bank, its neck pierced with three holes and steadily leaking blood onto the dirt. Not wanting to wait until the scent drew more powerful predators, the girl knelt down and drew out her knife, carving the beast quickly and efficiently. It was mostly the meat she was after; the hydro hide was useful for patching up her armor or storage gear when it spring a leak, and it could be sold for a <em>little</em> cash if she needed it, but it was hardly the most useful material in the world.<br><br>A few minutes later, she stood up and continued along the trail, soon to find her hunt of the Ludroth had taken her farther than she had cared to notice. The trees began to fade as the air grew colder, and the dark-haired huntress soon began to wish she wasn't making it worse by being dripped wet. Reaching into her bag, she pulled a thick, furred overcoat she had bought specifically for the trip and wrapped it tightly around her body for warmth. As she came to edge of the forest, where the river grew shallow and receded up to the mountain that was its source, snow began to lightly dust the ground and soak through her cloth sandles. Before long, she was shin deep in the stuff. Being from a tropical village, she had never seen the stuff before in her life, but her first impression was that it was going to be an absolute pain in the ass.<br><br>Trudging down the trail, where the snow was most shallow, hood pulled up over her head and coat tugged ever tighter by her shivering arms, Seiche continued single-mindedly toward Pokke, a village where she was sure she wouldn't have to deal with any legendary hunters that would exist just to show her up, but still provided plenty of marks for the up-and-coming Monster Hunter. As she entered the village, she wasn't too impressed; just bare wood-and-stone buildings, not much more sightly than where she had come from, but the opportunity was so much better than that rotten old bunch of huts.<br><br>There weren't many buildings, so finding the tavern and inn was pretty easy to find. Pushing on the door, she found herself nearly tugged forward as the wind tried to throw the thing open, but recovered quickly enough not to make a fool of herself. Once she had the door closed again, she sighed as the sudden warm seeped into her body and loosened her grip on the coat. Her hood was lowered, revealing slightly backward-pointed hair that was surprisingly well-styled even under the hood, but actually seemed a little frosted in the spots where the cold froze the water she had been submerged in not long ago. Walking proudly up to the counter, lest other hunters be in the room, Seiche pulled out her meager bag of funds. "How much to rent a room?"

				Arden arrived in Pokke village a little later than expected. Given the blizzard on the northern mountains that was to be expected. The Hunter was comming from the city to hone his skills and potentially return to the main guild. His family had all started their careers in small villages. That was reasonable enough, small villages had lesss hunter to compete for work.<br><br>Entering the guild lodge, Arden was greeted by the savory aromas of ale and popo meat. A hot meal, would be good. After which he would speak with the local guild reps and the elder. Perhaps this was a good place to start as a gunlancer out on his own. If fortune smiled upon him, he could perhaps find a decent party to work with.<br><br>

				Cairus was in the middle of his dinner when he glanced up to notice a very attractive young woman walking through the door, asking after the price for a room. He didn't think much of it until the woman was informed that the price for the room would also come with a complimentary dinner to newcomers in the town, in the hopes of getting their patronage for quality cooking in the future. He had forgotten about that little perk, since he often found himself coming back here due to the fact that it was one of the higher quality inns in the area, Pokke being such a small village that it's only competition was generally pretty well stamped into the ground.&nbsp; All things considered the complimentary meal was a pretty decent display of courtesy, something that the inn didn't have to do, but did anyway.<br><br>The inn was packed, however, so when the woman started looking around for tables, Cairus would let out a small sigh before waving her down, letting her know that he had plenty of room for himself since he got a table for 4 and he was the only one sitting in it.

				Considering she had been planning to cook her own meal to save what little money she had brought along from the trip, Seiche was very pleased to hear she got a free meal for staying the first night at the inn. Plus, she was already so used to eating fish and Ludroth meat over the years, the thought of trying some new, foreign mountain delicacy had her mouth watering. Thanking the innkeeper, she stepped away from the counter and started to look around the room for somewhere to sit, finding the large room to be completely packed with the town's long-time denizens, no doubt looking for food, drink, and company after a day of hard work out in the cold. It reminded her of her own town, mainly because it was really annoying to find a seat.<br><br>Thankfully, a handsome young man who was sitting alone finally offered her a place to sit and eat, an offer she was hesitant to accept at first. However, realizing she could do a lot worse, she smiled and settled down into the chair, loosening her overcoat now that she was closer to warmth of the fire. "Thank you. If they want to attract newcomers, they should really buy more damn chairs."

				Cairus put on a smile when she came to join him, not minding her company at all as she took her seat and made her little comment about buying more chairs. Truth be told, he was actually kinda glad to have some company so that he wouldn't feel as awkward just sitting here alone. "Well it would help if they got a larger lobby first, but I'm not so sure about how they would do that..." He extended his hand forward, offering her a friendly hand shake. "Name's Cairus, by the way."<br><br>With introductions taken care of, Cairus would turn his attention back to his meal, though he figured that a little bit of light conversation would prevent the air from getting stale at the table. Nothing wrong with getting to know her a little bit better, after all, even though they'd likely just go their separate ways and never see one another again once their respective dinners were finished. "So you've already admitted to being a newcomer here, what brings you all the way out here? That is, if you feel like talking about it." He knew that some people could be rather private with their pasts if it involved something traumatic, but this particular woman didn't seem particularly traumatized, so he figured it was safe to ask.

				Seeing him offering his hand after she sat down, the young huntress reached over and shook it, making sure to apply a firm grip so this boy knew she wasn't one to be messed with. "Seiche," she gave her name in reply, wondering if he would recognize that name in the future, once her name was widespread and legendary. Glancing down at the plate in front of him, she felt her stomach grumble a bit; just smelling the home-cooked, foreign meal was enough to tell her it was delicious, making it that much more tortuous to have to wait until her own was cooked and brought out. Hopefully the complimentary portion was as big as the one he got, and presumably paid for. If it wasn't, she would be insulted.<br><br>Focusing on Cairus again, his question brought a smirk to her face. Looked like he would be the first one to really encounter her on her adventure, which would hopefully lead to big things one day. "Well, I don't see any reason to keep it a secret: I came out this way because I heard it's a good place to start up a monster-hunting career. All the big cities are covered by veteran hunters, but out-of-the-way places like this could use some skilled defenders," she explained, gesturing to herself when she spoke about the "skilled defenders," as if it wasn't already obvious who she meant.

				"Trust me, you did fine and i'm ok thanks" he dusted snow off himself before he went to examine the now dead monster "that is one strange looking beast" he commented "you wouldn't happen to know how to get to Pokke from here would you?"

				Cairus let out a small, sarcastic chuckle as he heard Seiche go on about her intentions for what she planned on doing here, which was basically the same as his own plans and goals. "Well good luck to you, I've been trying to do the same thing to no avail. There are only 2 or 3 hunting groups in the area, but all of them are tightly knit and don't take too kindly to new blood." He shrugged before relaxing back in his chair, unaware of the way that his dinner was driving her senses off the charts. "Their loss, I suppose." He'd get his foot in the door eventually, even if he had to find a new group of hunters to roll with in order to do it. Come to think of it, she'd be facing the same difficulties as him in finding a group to roll with, perhaps they'd end up working together if she had luck similar to his own.

				Ashe still believed that it could of been a fatal mistake, but she got over it for now. Apparently, the lone hunter was just on his way to Pokke village, Ashe's home town. It was a weird coincidences to her, but she was more than willing to help nonetheless. "I live there actually. If you'll just follow me, you'll be there in no time. And since you did help me slain the beast, I'll be sure to give you the cut of the reward money as well."<br><br>It wasn't long before the two finally reach Pokke village. The first thing Ashe did was go to the helper girl that runs the missions to collect her reward money. As promise, she gave some of the money to Reynik as well... almost 2% of it. Not much at all. "Here you go. Thanks for your help."

				Seiche raised an eyebrow as her dinner companion revealed his was a hunter as well. She didn't see any scars on him, but he <em>was</em> rather covered up in warm clothing, like her. He was probably pretty new to the area, too. "Why don't you just try hunting solo? I don't see the point in sharing the prize with other people if you can handle the monster yourself," she countered naively, having yet to encounter the <em>massive</em> species that existed further out from her own. The most she had ever seen was a Royal Ludroth, and that was only from a safe distance.<br><br>Soon enough, her food was brought out, and it became clear she hadn't had a home-cooked meal in days. She wasn't a messy eater or anything, but she ate fast enough to show her hunger. "So good... Red meat is hard to get a hold of where I come from," she explained between bites.

				Cairus chuckled when Seiche asked why he didn't hunt solo, only replying with a somewhat cryptic "Hunting alone out here can be a bit more... hazardous... then you'd expect." Not only did a person have to deal with managing their food supplies and making sure they were secured, but there was also the hellacious weather where being caught outside on a bad night could spell a person's death... Oh... And the giant ferocious monsters too, those were a pretty big concern as well.<br><br>He would have elaborated more, however, they were interrupted when Seiche's complimentary dinner was brought out and she started to bite into it eagerly. With an amused smile, Cairus asked her for a bit more information on where she was from, since she had given him a hint of information. "Oh really? And where exactly do you come from then?"

				Seiche heard his warning and gave it an attentive nod, but, in reality, she was just going to shrug it off for now. She had been told hunting monsters was too hazardous for her back at home, too, but she was easily one of the best hunters in the village. Now was her chance to show that, so she wasn't going to back down just because someone she just met suggested it. Continuing on her meal, she went quiet until he brought up another question, swallowing a large chunk of meat before trying to answer. "Haruto Village, quite a ways south from here. We lived right on the bank of the river, so we pretty much just ate fish constantly."<br><br>Feeling a bit more full, she slowed down on her food, wanting to savor the first red meat she had had in some months. "What about you? Doesn't sound like you're around here, either, if you can't find any people to hunt with."

				Cairus simply nodded, figuring that with a woman like her, it wouldn't really matter if he shared his family name with her. She wasn't exactly somebody that he considered all that important just yet, nor did she seem like the type who would care, either. "I'm from Loc Lac city, my family line is actually filled with renowned hunters, so I came up here to follow in their footsteps." As well as show them up, and prove that he wasn't the runt of the litter, so to speak, but that was something he wasn't willing to admit to anybody just yet, his pride being a bit too firm for such a thing. "Like you said though, it hasn't exactly been working out. The monsters out here are a bit too powerful to fight alone, and none of the local hunters feel like putting their lives in the hands of somebody who's untested and unproven."<br><br>He seemed a bit bitter at this point, his bruised pride and his desire to show them all up getting the better of them. He'd show them, someday... He's show everybody just how strong he was.

				Seiche's interest grew significantly when Cairus said that he came from a line of renowned hunters, making her wonder if he was making that up to sound impressive until she figured it would have made more sense to say he was famous himself, then. It brought a smirk to her face, thinking how bitter he looked about not being able to live up to his family's reputation out here. She would make well sure that it didn't turn out that way for her. "Well, if it would help, I could go on a couple hunts with you and help you out. In return, you could show me around the area, since I only just arrived in town a little while ago. That way, we both end up better off," she suggested. Of course, with her skill at his side, how could he ever fail in a hunt?

				Up until this point, Seiche's ego really hadn't been a big concern to Cairus, since it didn't really affect him and it wasn't aimed at him either. With that last statement, though, she managed to get under his skin a little bit. He had his pride as well, and he didn't like the fact that she was taking jabs at it so casually and treating him like an inferior. "You make it sound like I'm helpless without you... You have as much to gain from this as I do, you know, since it'll be just as hard for you to get in with the hunters around here." He ended up shrugging though, figuring that a few hunts alongside her before they went their separate ways wouldn't hurt anything. "Still, it works out best for the both of us... Why not?"<br><br>Cairus didn't want Seiche to believe that she could just assume that she was his superior, which the undertones of her last statement, the look on her face, and the tone of her voice all seemed to suggest.

				Seiche just rolled her eyes as he took offense to her implications. In all likelihood, he would probably end up apologizing later once they went out on the hunt and she showed off some of her techniques. He was probably only here because he wanted to be like his famous family, anyway. There was no telling if he had any real skill. "Well, whatever. You're right, it could get us a bit of recognition around here if we do a couple team hunts together. I'm guessing you've at least been to the Guild Hall, right? Any leads on some good monsters to take down?" she asked, taking the opportunity to finish off her meat and start on her potatoes as she waited for him to answer. It was irritatingly cold in this town, but she was still excited to get going.

				Cairus nodded when she asked if he had been to the guild hall, part of him somewhat grateful for the fact that she had decided not to press the matter of him standing his ground against her more then she had. This was his chance to break through, after all, and while he wasn't going to surrender his pride in order to nose up to this girl, he didn't want to throw the opportunity he had down the gutter either. "Yeah, we can go and check out the board again whenever you're done eating. We've still got a few hours left in the day, after all."<br><br>Cairus knew a bit better then Seiche that this place got deathly cold when the sun started to set, so even though it wasn't a standard person's 'bed time', it was still a horrible idea to be outdoors during a time of day when the sun wasn't up.

				Reynik couldn't believe his luck, a local! "Your a life saver" he said happily "i thought i was going to freeze to death before reaching the village" he followed her then and soon enough had joined her in the warmth of the guildhall, sighing in contentment as he pulled off his fur helm to reveal his dark messy hair and his deep red eyes that pegged him as someone from the volcanic region. <br><br>He smiled in thanks when he was handed some of the money, it wasn't much but it would at least get him a hot meal for the night. "Thanks again, i'll get out of your hair now i need to go hand in my transfer papers anyway" with that he walked over to the guildmaster of the village, showing her the paper that said he was to live in the village "ah your Reynik, your house is all ready for you and fully stocked, just let me know when your ready and i'll have someone escort you there" she said and Reynik thanked her before going to get some food and a table.

				The lone huntress nodded. "I'm glad I was about to help you. If theirs anything else you need, just ask. My name is Ashe by the way." And with that, she left him alone for now, assuming he can take care of himself from there. The boy seems to be somewhat new to using a great sword, or hunting in general. Otherwise, he could of taking out the Blagonga while it was still recovering. Ashe almost blamed him, but she let it go for now. She just hopes she doesn't actually have to team up with him on another mission, at least until he gets before. He does seem nice enough however and wishes him luck.<br><br>After restocking on ammo and supplies, she decided to sign up for one more mission. Usually, she would go on only one hunt for a day, but the last one left her unsatisfied. Not only was she still disappointed on that one mistake, but the hunter she helped practically <em>stole</em> her killing blow after her hard work with the beast. Ashe decided to sign up for a hunt for a Rathian this time. It was one of the more stronger monsters on the list and Ashe never fought one alone before. But if she was able to kill one, she would be satisfied.&nbsp; &nbsp; <br><br>

				Seiche nodded and hurried up to finish the complimentary meal, talking a bit less openly to Cairus now that it was a matter of pride between them. She was pretty sure she could have handled going out by herself if she needed to; it was just nice to have someone slightly more familiar with the area to make sure she didn't end up wandering aimlessly and wasting a lot of time. Really, going with another hunter would probably just slow her down, but she didn't say that, lest she get him defensive again.<br><br>Once she was done, she left the plate and stood up, wrapping her coat tightly around herself since they were going back out in the cold. "Alright, I'm ready to go check out the board when you are."

				"Outstanding the Guild has a loaner home for member stationed here", Arden said somewhat pleased. At least he would not need to hunt for shelt, only for experience and eventually prestiege. In time he would dawn the coveted Guild Armor.<br><br>Over hearing some of the other hunters in the hall, The Guild Apprentice looked over. His attention was piqued, and so he sought to make anquantainces before he went off to see the village elder.<br><br>"I couldn't help but notice that I am not the only hunter new to Pokke Village", Arden somewhat gracefully interjected,"if you don't mind, I'm Arden. I will be in Pokke on behalf of the Hunters Guild, I would not mind the company especially if you are familiar with the area. I'm handy with more than this, but a gunlance is a interesting weapon to master."<br><br>The cityborn hunter made a modest interuption, but did not overly impose. Polite, but confident.

				&nbsp; A figure with a white and brown cloak and a heavy sack on her back was walking into the village from the southern side of town.&nbsp; A large crimson and white hammer was bulging between the heavy load and her back, and thick puffs of breath were coming from her mouth.&nbsp; It had been a long and unpleasant trek to get to this village, and the cold was damnable.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; Standing on top of the hill, she surveyed the area.&nbsp; Quite a few people, and quite a few hunters.&nbsp; There were the artisans, doing a steady business crafting arms.&nbsp; And there were one or two traveling merchants: wirey looking folk with packs, blankets and pet animals moving around.&nbsp; She smiled wryly when she saw the Cat Vendor nearby, noting that he looked weary of his life's choices in selling this creatures.&nbsp; She sighed, pulled down her hood, hoisted the sack a little more onto her shoulders, and started moving towards the guild hall.<br><br>&nbsp; As much as she truly wanted to simply empty her wares, that just wasn't the way things were done in her trade.&nbsp; You had to at least make nice with the local vendors, unless you wanted to set up shop in the woods.&nbsp; She thought of the last time she'd done that.. The Kut-Ku that had damaged a quarter of her goods and eaten half the perishables before she killed it.&nbsp; No, it simply wasn't worth it.&nbsp; She waved cordially to the traveling merchants, one of whom waved back and the other, well, just stared.&nbsp; No one she knew.&nbsp; She was glad of it.&nbsp; She introduced herself to the first merchant, and had started to get into the local area before a customer came by.&nbsp; She waved good-naturedly and left him to his business: a better PR move than a good conversation.&nbsp; She thought about greeting the second one, but decided against it.&nbsp; She didn't plan to stay here long, and by his expression, that would be his favorite thing about her.<br><br>&nbsp; She moved on to the weapon makers and introduced herself, striking up a small conversation.&nbsp; She learned of the trouble in the mines here, which she found fortuitous.&nbsp; She might be able to make a good impression with that, if not a tidy profit for herself.&nbsp; Finishing up, she made her way to the Guild Hall.&nbsp; It might be good to take a mission for a change.. but more importantly, the arms dealer had been right about how much her legs and shoulders hurt.&nbsp; A good meal and an hour of idle rest would fix that.&nbsp; She gave the doors a good shove and moved into the warm room.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; "Gods, be thanked!" she exclaimed, quite involuntarily, as she spotted an empty seat near the fire.&nbsp; If no one approached her, she would move towards it and set down her pack with a thud.&nbsp; She'd put her cloak around the seat, letting her brown hair run freely down her red-scaled armor, and would sigh languidly as she reclined, truly grateful to be off of her legs.

				Cairus nodded, grabbing his blade and setting the sheath back against his hip once the two were done eating and ready to depart from the inn. As it turned out, the guild hall was rather close to the inn, so the trip would be a short one before the two of them were standing in front of a large board that seemed to be littered with requests. Still, most of them seemed to demand that a small militia be taken in order to deal with the monsters roaming the environment, so Cairus was restrained to looking for some of the lower ones that required only a few people in order to be carried out. "Huh, looks like we got a couple of options. We can either go out right now and deal with a Great Baggi before the sun falls, or we can wait until tomorrow and go hunting in the mines for a Gigginox."<br><br>He was about to ask Seiche for her input, but a third hunter approached the group and mentioned that he was also new. Cairus turned towards him, nodding lightly. "Oh, nice to meet you, Arden. My name is Cairus." He'd glance towards Seiche, letting her be the one to handle her own introduction.

				((Since Arden is still a novie in the guild...we'll let him work up to the Khezu gear in his pic))<br><br>"Well Met Cairus", Arden replied. his somewhat regal midgarian accent shown. The young gunlancer spoke well and had a fine steel gunlance, Though he choose to wear his training school head protector and greeves with his steel armor. He could have been equiped far worse. However he had an earnest smile.<br><br>Arden's gaze moved to Seiche, but hammer wielding huntress who hurried by the fire. <br><br>Indeed Pokke village was cold and the gunlancer would have to consider some alternate armor or invest in hot drinks if he wanted to maintain his defense.

				Truth be told, Seiche grew rather perplexed as she read the two most likely missions for the pair of them on the board. Growing up a good distance away from here, Ludroth and their like were the only monsters she was accustomed to; a Gobul was pretty much the largest monster she had ever encountered. She didn't really have any clue what a Great Baggi or a Gigginox was, especially without the time to study them at the guild, but she would be damned if she acted like the clueless newbie in this situation. A monster was a monster, right? "I haven't had the time to buy any supplies just yet, so it'd probably be easier to wait and go after the Gigginox tomorrow," she told Cairus, leaving out the part about how she didn't really know how to track monsters in snow, either. Not that she would know Great Baggi tracks if she saw them.<br><br>She was caught off-guard just a bit when another armored hunter approached and introduced himself; honestly, she hadn't even thought a little town like this would have that many already in business (the Guild Hall itself was a surprise), but there must have been a great need for them in the area. That was a good sign for her, anyway. "Pleasure. My name is Seiche," she introduced herself when the opening came, only to be cut off from talking any more as yet another hunter came in to their little circle. The girl made a big assumption that they were already planning on going to the mines tomorrow, but she offered supplies, and that was exactly what Seiche needed. There wouldn't be too much food to hunt and gather underground. "I think we could probably make room for you," Seiche told the girl, a pleased glimmer in her eyes.

				Cairus simply nodded, glancing over at another newcomer, some merchant woman from the looks of her and the supplies that she carried. Still, many hands made for short work, and while working together with more people also meant that it would be easier and there would be less fame to be gained from undertaking such a task, he also had to appreciate the offer that she made as far as filling some of the blanks in his supply list, of which there were a few more then he would have liked to admit. Besides, Seiche also seemed to be willing to accept this third person into their merry little band, so who was he to be the one to turn her away? "Yeah, the board says that it's suggested somewhere between two and four people to go, so having a third person along could only help."<br><br>He paused for a moment, realizing that he had yet to introduce himself. As such, he took a step forward and extended his hand out towards her. "Oh, and my name's Cairus."

				"Should you need a third, I am available", Arden said cordially. Not one to be rude and invite himself in on another's venture. After all, he himself would not enjoy a stranger helping himself to a portion of his reward without at the least proving his worth. "I'll be at the house up the road, the guild and chief says that it is open to hunters, so I shall be stowing my things and familiarizing myself with the village, I plan on staying here a season or two."<br><br>The merchant wielding a hammer made her aquantaince, Arden would not be surprised if she had done a fair share of hunting. Though selling goods of the wilds was a way to make a fair bit of zenny off any gunner or healer Arden would venture to guess.<br><br>"Well...well met", somewhat stunned spoke the gunlance wielding hunter as the merchant made her greeting. A grip like that belonged to somebody who could handle a hammer. "As for quick business I am in the market for hot peppers, bitterbugs, books of combo, or any monster lore you may possess."

				Cairus nodded, crossing his arms and remaining rather neutral when it became apparent that at least these two would be joining him and his new partner during tomorrow's adventure. "Well then, perhaps we should begin laying out plans for tomorrow, so that we're not desperately scrambling our party in the morning and looking for people who may or may not still be sleeping. What do you all say that we meet up in front of the guild hall at about... I dunno... 9 in the morning tomorrow?" It payed to have a set time for this sort of thing, since it was a rather simple thing to set up and it saved a lot of headache. Either way, once plans were established and everybody went about their separate ways, Cairus would turn towards Seiche and motion with his thumb towards the board. "And if you're a gambling girl, you and I could also roll out tonight to deal with that Great Baggi thing. It's getting kinda late though, so we'd be racing against the clock."<br><br>He was going to leave this up to her, but if she had half the pride that he thought she did, there was no way she was going to turn down a chance to get a little bit of action in before the sun went down.

				Once she was done checking out what Paileen was selling, Seiche just stepped off to the side and zoned out for the rest of the planning, only really care when and where they would meet in the morning. If her village's lifestyle had taught her anything, it was that nature had a funny way of going against your plans, so it was best to just go with the flow (sometimes literally) and let your instincts do the groundwork. And in any case, she really had no knowledge at all about the monsters in this area, so she didn't have anything to work off of. That made planning ahead kind of hard.<br><br>Once the group split up, Seiche stepped forward and stretched, looking forward to heading to her room in the inn, curling up under a warm blanket, and sleeping her journey off, but lo and behold, Mister Bigshot decided they should try to tackle the Great Baggi on a timer. She didn't even know what a Great Baggi looked like, but if it had claws and teeth, maybe she could make a decent weapon out of it. "If you think you can move fast enough through the snow, we can give it a shot," she said with a slightly taunting tone, looking out to the fading daylight. She could only imagine how cold it would get once the sun was set, so they really would have to be quick. Hopefully this monster didn't try to run as much as others did.

				Cairus was only throwing the suggestion out there as an offering, rather then some kind of serious suggestion, but when she replied to him with that taunting tone and that challenging look in her eye, Cairus knew that he wouldn't be able to back down. "We could go give it a shot. Worse comes to worse, we fail and back out before sun down. Best case scenario, we already get ourselves a solid kick start in a monster hunting career, and we see just how well this partnership thing works out." With that he started to head towards the door. "As for me being able to move through the snow? Well, just make sure you don't slow me down, this isn't exactly the same as the rivers that you grew up in... Are you sure that you'll be able to handle being out in the cold for this long?"<br><br>He was taking his turn to taunt her, it seemed. So long as it drove forward some friendly competition and kept both hunters working at their absolute best, nothing but good could come from a rivalry like this... right?

				Seiche didn't miss a beat, scoffing at his retort as she cinched her coat back up tight and made sure she had all over her hunting gear (at this point limited to her trident and a few rations of food and fresh water) before striding her way over to the door. "Even in the jungle, the river gets cold during winter. Try swimming and hunting in <em>that</em>, and you'll learn what cold is," she responded semi-truthfully; while the rivers did get quite cold during that time of year where she came from, it still didn't really compare to what they were experiencing out here in Pokke. And the cold here would only get worse if they ever went up into the mountains or, god forbid, had to hunt in the lakes in the area.<br><br>Even with all of her "toughness," though, Seiche pulled her hood up and secured it tight the moment they stopped outside, almost afraid the wind would end up freezing the skin off of her face. "I don't really know this area yet. Where exactly do we have to go to find this Great Baggi thing? And how do we track it once we get there?"

				Cairus most certainly wasn't going to back down at this point, no way. As the two stepped back out into the bitter cold, however, he couldn't help but question his resolve just a little bit. This place <em>sucked</em>, even with his incredibly thick leather padding that he wore over his armor. Like Seiche, he too lifted a hood over his head and tightened it down quite a bit, though it didn't stop the bitter wind from brushing against his face. Were it summertime, this wind wouldn't even be considered a cooling breeze, but in the winter, it was like a gale. Funny how weather worked like that, mother nature could be a cruel mistress from time to time. Nevertheless, with Seiche already calling him out on his nerve, there was no possible way that he'd back down and give her reason to believe that she was somehow <em>better</em> then him, not a chance!<br><br>Funny how rivalries could hinder judgement like that. Either way, he needed to address her question. "Supposedly it's not more then about 15 minutes outside of town, which is why it's got all the townspeople spooked. Hell, even if the thing runs off, we can just call it a job well done and head in. As for tracking it down?" Carius had to admit that he had never been on a hunt before, so honestly, he had no idea exactly what he was doing. "Uh... We'll just figure it out when we get there."

				"Oh, good. I was worried you might actually know what we have to do," Seiche shot out sarcastically, even though she literally didn't know any more than he did about this particular monster. She had been on her fair share of hunts, though, even if most of them hadn't been nearly as big as this, and they all had far more hunters on the expedition. There was actually a lot that was going to be different for the girl on this hunt; the big thing was that it wasn't going to take place underwater, of course, so she would have to use what limited land-combat ability she had to the fullest. The other change was that there was only the two of them, where she had only been allowed in large hunting parties before. They couldn't outnumber and overwhelm their target, that was for damn sure. They would have to outmaneuver and outsmart it, all while on flat, hard land, in this dreadful cold! Why did she choose to start her career in Pokke again?<br><br>Too late to back out now, though. Especially when there were other hunters who already knew she was there and would spread the word if she was weak enough to go running for warmer climates. And she definitely wouldn't give up before this Cairus kid; that wasn't even an option. "If it's a Great Baggi, that's gotta mean there are smaller Baggis in its domain, right? Just like a Royal Ludroth with the smaller Ludroth. If we start by tracking down some of those smaller Baggi, then we'll have to find it or draw it to us eventually," Seiche suggested, just going off what she knew from the monsters in her own area. Monsters were monsters, though; they couldn't be <em>that</em> different.

				"Doesn't sound like you're really an expert either, but at least it's something to go off of." With that said Cairus started to head towards the west gate, holding himself straight and looking just as confident and determined as ever. After all, the LAST thing he wanted to was give this girl an opening to think that she was somehow superior to him. "Besides, the sign said something about how it's really close to town, so it shouldn't be THAT hard." And aside from that, Cairus wasn't worried about the strength of the monster, since the sign said that it should be a relatively easy hunt for whoever decided to take the guild hall up on it. Because of that, Cairus was sure that the two of them would be able to take care of the Baggi before the sun set, even if Seiche ended up not being that helpful. There was no way his first hunt was going to end in failure, that was just impossible. <br><br>The walk out of the village would, understandably, only take a couple of minutes. Once the two were out in the wilderness, Cairus would kneel down and notice a couple of monster footprints in the snow. "Huh... Well, this is going to be even easier then I thought." From his pocket, he pulled out the note with the mark on it, pointing to the corner where it had information on the Great Baggi, including a small sketch of what it's footprint looked like. Since they were in a snowy region, this information was more useful then usual. "Well then, how about we just follow the trail and see where it takes us?" Without even waiting for an answer from his female companion, Cairus simply started following the tracks, which would lead them further away from town. Naturally, there were some times where it looked like the Baggi was simply aimlessly wandering around, but Cairus was able to bypass most of those and follow the route instead of some random wandering around. "I wonder how long it's going to take before we run into this thing."

				Surprisingly, other than a huff of annoyance, Seiche didn't have anything to say to Cairus' last remark. The brat was irritating, no doubt about that, but for the moment, she was trying to focus on the hunt and get some money and reputation going. He wasn't enough of a problem to distract her from that, at least for the moment. Though it wouldn't be long before she found out whether he was worth keeping around as back-up, or if he would just hold her back and have to be ditched in future hunts.<br><br>Upon finding the tracks, the river huntress wanted to point out that the tracks could have just led to one of the smaller Baggis and it might have been taking them in the wrong direction, but Cairus didn't even give her the chance to speak before he started tracking whatever it was that had made the prints, eliciting a rather severe pout of frustration from the dark-haired girl. Not like she could argue, though; she herself had said that following one of the smaller Baggis might lead to the Great one if they followed the same pack structure as Ludroth, so she couldn't exactly say it was a bad idea now. She kept her trident in her hand, though, wanting to be prepared for an ambush, since the snow already lowered her mobility and the hood reduced her vision. "What's the plan when we find this thing? I doubt it's going to be alone. Do we try to take down the leader fast and scare the others off, or do we take care of the smaller Baggis first?"

				Cairus glanced back towards her when she asked him about what their plans were going to be when they finally managed to find the Baggi. "We'll just have to roll with it however it plays out. Obviously if we're able to, we should target the Great Baggi first and then try to scare off the runts. However, if there are too many runts for us to handle safely, then we'll turn our focus towards them." He shrugged, not seeing it as that complicated of a situation, though this was his first hunt, so he could have turned out to be terribly wrong about this. Either way, it wasn't long before Cairus was able to glance off into the distance, and see the moving forms of a few lesser Baggis roaming around. "Check it out... I think we're getting close."<br><br>These things really were close to town, a 10 minute walk and these monsters could have ended up disturbing the peace in Pokke Village, no wonder the townspeople wanted it taken care of ASAP.

				Though the lesser baggis wouldn't be considered much of a problem at all for any seasoned hunter, the sight of their reptilian forms shifting out in the fading daylight was enough to put Seiche fairly on edge. While it was Cairus' first hunt ever, it was her first hunt without being aided by someone far more experienced than her, so it wasn't like she was totally accustomed to this either. The girl from the river village tightened her grip on her trident, keeping her eyes locked on the lesser monsters ahead of them. She was afraid, but it was more than that; she was feeling exhilarated. Not prepared, but wanting to jump into her first real hunt nonetheless. <br><br>"I'll take care of these guys. You just keep an eye out to make sure the Great Baggi doesn't sneak up on me, okay?" she ordered Caius before running full-blooded through the snow toward her targets. Despite the rough terrain, she had surprising agility, just barely drawing the baggis' attention before she leapt forward and struck out at the neck of the one closest to her with an ecstatic battle cry.
