A crisp morning, that December was. A cold, average day. quiet, at least until twelve PM. That, of course, was the opening hour of Mainstreed, the Questboards, and the Cherrywood Bar and Wood fire Pizza restaurant, a well-known hang out spot of a specific low-grade monster-bashing team, as well as where we find said team blacked out, on the floor, like usual.

 

NeverBetter awoke with a grunt, coughing up a ball of hair, he tried to recall last night's events. "That's the last time I let Yuffie get my drinks... I think I bit a chunk out of Silver's hair again..." He sighed picking himself up off the ground, he looked around at the rest of his drunken and sleeping team.

 

"All of you, get up, please!" NeverBetter called to his teammates. 

 

(Welcome to the world we now as Alternate. I have just put us all here for now, as I feel its the easiest way to do things in terms of kicking us off.  Let the posting commence!)

Kev jingled his pockets. "I dont, but we could probably buy some after that conga line."

"That's probably true," responded Nort.

"This specific breed, in fact, is called under a heard. They spur from a genus of Unicorn that mated with the average Pegasus on accident. They reproduce quickly and consume a lot of their resources, but their bits are basically gold. The most prized of them are a black breed, their feathers used to be used only for royals attending funerals." NeverBetter corrected Nort. "I use to hunt these before this guild was made."

"A... unicorn, pegasi crossbreed?" Nort shuddered at the very thought. He would have been a little angry, if it wasn't for how much the thought bothered him. "Well, would we be facing the black breed? If so, non lethal methods are probably the best choice here," he said. "Oh, yes. How similar are they to horses? Being a breed that's a mix of pegasi and unicorns... I must find out. If not... we'll need nets," he suggested.

That was all kevin needed to hear. He turned toward the door. "Whelp, i guess im gonna go get us some nets. whos in?"

Yuffie smiled broadly at the stack of money. She picked it up and threw it into the air. It rained down money for a while. She grinned at the baker, took another bite of the scone, and ran out of the bakery, hurrying to the mission board where she expected to see the others. Reaching them, Yuffie scoffed down another scone whole, and then hearing Nortanort ask about sugar cubes, spoke up. No one heard her, mostly because her mouth was full of scone. She chewed and swallowed as fast as possible, then was about to say something, but instead crammed down another. A few moments later, Yuffie smiled at them. "I have sugar cubes!" She exclaimed excitedly, pulling out a handful from her pocket.

"They are far more tricky than you would think. Plus, they are rabid. Let your guard down a moment and you are a skewer." NeverBetter informed. "Leathal is the only way to go, they're very dangerous"

Soul simply sat on the floor, watching the haphazard scene. He personally had $290 saved for a Steinway, but was willing to give it to Yuffie. Not that it mattered now.

 

"Neverbetter, buy me a steinway!"

Soul simply sat on the floor, watching the haphazard scene. He personally had $290 saved for a Steinway, but was willing to give it to Yuffie. Not that it mattered now."Neverbetter, buy me a steinway!"

"The firetruck are those?" NeverBetter said, plainly. "It sounds like some sort of electric zombie."

Soul burst into laughter. "The best pianos in the world. They cost $1,000,000, used."

Soul burst into laughter. "The best pianos in the world. They cost $1,000,000, used."

"The firetruck you think I'm made of? Blocks of diamonds and gold or some shit?" NeverBetter yyelled. "Besides, we need a goddamn house first, ya twat!" He began speaking in a brittish accent.

"I'll have you know," he began in Ciel Phantomhive's accent, "You have deus ex machina powers flowing from your ass. You could piss on a toilet, and inadvertently ruin one of Voldemort's plan."

"I'll have you know," he began in Ciel Phantomhive's accent, "You have deus ex machina powers flowing from your ass. You could piss on a toilet, and inadvertently ruin one of Voldemort's plan."

"I'll have you know that I didn't piss. I poured a bottle of piss into the toilet." NeverBetter corrected, holding up the article for today with a dead, pee'd on Voldimort

"Great Scott, you disintegrated Meister! That's the witch of the west." Soul pointed at the desecrated voldemort.

Kevin was thoroughly confused. having not heard a reply, he asked again, "anyone wanna come with me to get some nets and get out of this conversation?"

Kevin was thoroughly confused. having not heard a reply, he asked again, "anyone wanna come with me to get some nets and get out of this conversation?"

GuidKevin could feel the warm breath on his neck. "WHEEEEENEHEEEY" it cried, foam bursting from its mouth. "Get down, Mr. President!" NeverBetter cried, slamming Kevin down to the ground and firing a few shots. The creature was dead, one shot got it right in the eye and through its brain. "They have come for me. All fighters be aware of our serroudin's. One moment o hesitation and we'll all be the bloody thing's horn ornaments!" NeverBetter yelled to the team in a Scottish accent. "I didn't think this would be quite as easy as it will be..." He mutterex, as the sound of hoofs landing on the floor began to become more frequent.

Guid

(yes riki? did i do something wrong?)

 

Kevin felt the breath on his neck and stopped cold. then, NeverBetter yelled something about the president and tackled him. "holy shit!" when he hit the ground, he heard the shots and figured out what was happening. He dashed up the stairs and grabbed his sword. he turned around and vaulted the railing, that tackle having knocked the hangover right out of him. "Ragh!" He swung his weapon down at one of them as he fell. he missed, but now he was ready to fight. "alright guys, lets do this for the base!"

"They are far more tricky than you would think. Plus, they are rabid. Let your guard down a moment and you are a skewer." NeverBetter informed. "Leathal is the only way to go, they're very dangerous"

Lethal?! Nortanort had a few choice words regarding NeverBetter and his lineage, for suggesting using lethal methods against the pegasi. But, he held his tongue. He knew arguing with NeverBetter would get him nowhere, so he didn't. Of course, it helped that he was planning to capture the pegasi non-lethally anyway. He was just going to have to be more careful. 

 

However, most of this was put behind him, when he heard Soul's and NeverBetter's argument. The sheer insanity of it caused him to (slowly) fall to the floor, as he tried to comprehend what in the world they were talking about. Hands clutched to his head, he was saved only by Kevin appearing and asking for someone to accompany him to buy nets. 

 

And then something appeared just behind Kevin, which NeverBetter killed. And then, as if to prove things could always get worse, a hoard of them started landing. "Are you telling me... THESE are what we need to fight?" Nort almost yelled, clearly not having expected them. He picked up his gun, and made sure it was loaded. And it was, at least in the solid chamber. Unfortunately, he couldn't remember what he had loaded it with. "Oh great," he muttered to himself, realizing just how dangerous this situation was. "Well, since you're the expert here, Never, any tips?" he asked NeverBetter.

"Would you mind turning the safety on your g-" Nortanort started, before realizing something. "Oh for the love of..." he muttered to himself, rushing back to the bar. Just as NeverBetter was returning with the pancakes, Nortanort returned, lugging his gun behind him and with a bright red bruise on his face. "Don't ask. Just... don't," he stated, looking around at the members of his guild. When NeverBetter told everyone about the mission, Nortanort said under his breath, "The proper term is a FLOCK of pegasi. A flock." He considered himself knowledge about these kinds of things, and couldn't help but correct NeverBetter. "Horns?" Nortanort inquired. To his knowledge, pegasi... didn't have horns. "Oh, and another thing. Anyone here have any nets? Or sugar cubes, for that matter?" He added.

As Nortanort entered the conversation with a black eye and apparently damaged pride, Cap couldn't help cracking a smile, "Let me guess, Lucy?" he asked.

 

Yuffie smiled broadly at the stack of money. She picked it up and threw it into the air. It rained down money for a while. She grinned at the baker, took another bite of the scone, and ran out of the bakery, hurrying to the mission board where she expected to see the others.

She chewed and swallowed as fast as possible, then was about to say something, but instead crammed down another. A few moments later, Yuffie smiled at them. "I have sugar cubes!" She exclaimed excitedly, pulling out a handful from her pocket.

"Ah, good." Cap said upon seeing that Yuffie had some sugar cubes on her. Although it did bring up the question of why she would be carrying around sugar cubes in the first place. In the end, he decided to dismiss it as Yuffie being odd, as usual.

 

Kevin was thoroughly confused. having not heard a reply, he asked again, "anyone wanna come with me to get some nets and get out of this conversation?"

"I'll join you." Cap said, eager to get out of this strange conversation before he was reined into it. He'd mostly kept quiet, due to not having much experience with pegasai, and wanting to hear what the others had to say on the matter, but at this point he doubted there was any point in trying to figure out what Neverbetter and Soul were talking about. But before he could leave, a flock of the exact same kind of pegusai they needed to hunt came straight towards them. "Well, this is strangely convenient," Cap said, drawing his pistols, "Neverbetter, what's the plan?"

"Plans are simple: go for minimum damage to kill. Pinpoint accuracy and all that bull. Quickest and painless way is shooting them through any and all open holes they have, mouth, eyes, nose, ect. We want to collect their valuable items like their feathers. In terms of combat, aim low, at the legs, and buckle them. They share the same weakness as other horse-like animals: they have to be upright. Generally, you want to cut off three of the feet, and leave the fourth one to throw it's balance off and make liftoff dificult. They've got a lot of speed though, they can crush you quickly, and have a wide array of magic they have at their disposal. Just like anything primarily using magic, they have lower defensive strength overall. Not only that, they're magic attacks for the most part can be blocked and sent back. Stay light on your feet, and on the ground as much as possible. " NeverBetter, the combat genius, like always listed the best sorts of attack possible. "We could use help from the rest of the team though-where in hell are Silver and Neko?" He thought. One of the Pegasus flock charged right at Nort, a beam firing off of it's horn, firing quickly at him.

"Legs -  got it." Kevin crouched and readied his sword. He wanted that goddamn base. He saw the nearest pegasus neighing and stamping it hooves, so he advanced as quickly as his bulky frame would allow and swung at its legs, calling "Lets see you use those hooves, or thery're ours!"  

Axel had been so busy scooping up money and showing off to the crowd formed by the conga line that he'd almost missed that the rest of his team was battling a group of pegasus-unicorn crossbreeds to the death. "Uh, one moment, folks." He quickly regrouped with the others and clenched his daggers. "Hey, can I keep one as a pet?" He asked NeverBetter as he dodged hooves and horns. "I've always wanted to ride into battle on a horse, it would only be better if it flew and had a deadly horn." He slashed at one's legs as it attempted to crush him under its hooves.

(Small correction here, Nort just had a bruise across his face, no black eye)

Nortanort glared at Cap, when he had been asked. "I said, don't ask," he muttered, clearly not wanting to talk about how he got slapped by Lucy. Mostly because he could barely remember what he had done. 

 

"Convenient isn't exactly the word I'd use here!" Nortanort yelled, as the pegasi-unicorn crossbreed charged at him. Fortunately, he managed to avoid being gored by it. Unfortunately, however, this was because he had been struck by the magic beam, which had sent him flying. He groaned, as he slowly got up. Then, he turned towards NeverBetter, and said, "You know, I'm the guy with a blunderbuss for a weapon. Firing precisely... isn't my forte," just before lifting his gun up, and firing at the pegasi which had charged him. Which fired cheese, apparently loaded into the gun last night in a drunken stupor. "Have I offended the universe some how?!" he shouted up at the skies, before continuing, "Or have I just angered some mad god?" clearly not happy.

Nortanort, for some unknowable reason, pulled a chalice out from under his cloak, and tossed it to Axel. "You'll find this of use, if you manage to complete your crazy task, and capture one of those things," he shouted at Axel, to be heard over the clatter of hooves.

"Uh... Thanks?" Axel said, unsure of what the purpose of the chalice was. "Not sure why I'll need it, but I'll keep that in mind!" He shouted back as he continued to avoid horns.
