  While Hunter is seemingly taken into an almost meditative trance by the box, Steve sneaks up beside her and takes a seat next to her.
  He seems to of obtained a pack of cigarettes from the bar and uses a cheap plastic lighter to light one up.
  He holds his hand up to try and get the bartender's attention once he'd lit the cigarette and nods his head.
  "Now personally, if you don't know how to use that or what it even is, I suggest you probably give it to the hot Pallet woman first." He advises her.
  "I have no clue what an 'SCP' is, but they have pretty cool bats, which is why I'm keeping this beauty." Continues Steve, gesturing to his new baseball bat.

Hunter snaps out of her trance and turns toward Steve and says, a little absentmindedly, "yeah, she is hot isn't she?" She sets the box down. "I've learned long ago not to mess with unknown artifacts. Besides sometimes something is a little too beautiful. Too perfect. And when something is too perfect, you should always keep your guard up..."

  Steve admires the box while Hunter speaks, it really was very alluring.
  "It is pretty cool." He comments before taking out his bat and laying it on his lap.
  "Maybe this thing really is cursed..." Steve questions himself as he admires his new weapon.
  "-BUT!" He would suddenly blurt out, "I gotta give this thing a name first!"
  
  "SCP-35 - blah, blah, blah is too much of a mouthful and it sounds like ass." The jock rambles.
  Steve ponders for a few seconds, scratching the back of his head as he took a puff from his cigarette.
  "I'd call it Nancy because that's where I saw that thing and found this bad boy, but I don't want to have to be reminded of how disgusting that THING was whenever I look at this god-send of a bat." He voiced his internal thoughts, girls used to love it when he did that back in Hawkins.
  "How about Dustin? After my best friend and favorite kid...?" He thought about it, taking another puff. "Nah, needs to be a feminine name." He quickly dismisses the idea.
  Steve places his hands on the bat, stroking it. "Lucille?" He asks. "Psh, what kind of name is that?" He says, almost as if he was arguing with the voices in his head.
  The babysitter would then look at Hunter with wide eyes and an even wider smile would creep onto his face as he exclaimed "You've given me the perfect idea!"
  "Robin!", "I'll call it Robin!" He tells Hunter.
  "Just like Batman & Robin and my friend Robin who also likes girls!" He says, making some pretty bold inferences and conclusions from what Hunter had said to him.

Hunter couldn't help but smile at the rambling idiot. "Bold of ya to assume that! Then again I do probably give off those vibes, don't I?" She chuckes as she flicks a strand of white hair behind her ear, while looking Steve up and down, and then casting him a flirty smile. "You aren't a bad specimen yourself, I'm sure the real Nancy must be proud of having you as her boyfriend or did I assume too much?" She laughed a bit as she ordered some drinks. It was funny how quickly one could get used to their surroundings.....

Alexandria smiled as she approached Steve and Hunter. She hadn't seen Tanya or Reimu or Kiseki since the scavenging job, and so it was nice to meet up with more of the group. She called out as she approached, her shoulder still wrapped in the bloodstained cloth. The Braixen looked happier, though it was obvious she just wanted some tylenol at the very least.

"Hunter? Steve? You're alive! Me and Shaxx, we didn't see you guys or hear from you in a while, so we decided to head back."

She said, moving near them. She didn't take a seat, not yet. She wanted to talk to Pallet first, get her and Shaxx's share. Alexandria would either have to smooth talk the woman or use some of her pay to get a doctor to dig the bullet out of her arm, but until she was patched up, she couldn't fire her gun properly.

"Nice baseball bat. Me and Shaxx found a couple of guns while we were in there too, and nothing else......you okay, Steve?"

Alexandria suddenly asked, seeing Steve's mid-section.

"What happened down there??"

The bartender let Vitan grab hold of his arm, trying not to laugh at what she was doing and saying. He didn't mind too much, at this point, her crossing some of the boundaries. She clearly needed someone to vent to and he didn't have anything better to do. "They call you gay? Why is that a problem?" The man asked, pulling away for a moment to get a drink out to another person before coming back to her. "Like, what's wrong with being gay?"

Chungchangching

"So you're back!" Pallet approached Alexandria, Steve, and Hunter as she brushed a few strands of out of place hair from her face. Whatever she'd had to take care of before was done, and now instead of the horns and red eyes, she looked like a normal human with right hair and beautiful blue eyes. She looked significantly more innocent now, cute, almost like she needed to be protected. "How'd it go? You guys look like shit," she chuckled.

  Steve raises his eyebrows, a little confused. "You said she's hot, girls don't call each-other that, right?"
  He smirks, feeling proud as Hunter compliments him. He lets out a deep sigh, reminiscing when times were simpler when she mentions the relationship between him and Nancy
  "Was." He corrects her, "We used to be together, now she's just a good friend of mine." He says with a smile, taking another puff of his cigarette.
  
  Steve's little flirting session was interrupted as Alexandria approached the two, asking about what happened and about his wellbeing.
  He looks down at his burns and damaged shirt.
  
  

  

  
  
  "Yeah, yeah. I'm totally fine aside from the fact that you left us all down there to totally die." He would sarcastically remark.
  Pallet then entered the conversation, with all these females flocking to him you could say that Steve's love-life was at an all time-high.
  "It went great! I just got some burns from an abomination that looked like my ex, found this baseball bat in the trash while we were going to the location and my friend found this really beautiful, dangerous box that she wants to show you!" He says, not everything in that sentence was true but he didn't intend on giving up his new bat anytime soon.

"Looks like the Degurechaff cleaning company is effective immediately.."

They probably didn't know of her position in the Empire's military or they would have given her a more glamorous job...but judging by the state of things the Empire probably didn't exist here as it outlawed Nightclubs in the war. So that left this world with two options. It was her old world but a very long time after the war where the Empire lost or she was on a whole new world. Taking into consideration the events prior Tanya concluded that it must be the latter. Being X hasn't come to taunt her yet so there is no way that he is the one pulling the strings from behind the scenes but he is probably the one who sent her here anyway. Tanya reached the Janitors closet, grabbed the brush and made her way to the bathroom.

GinkyGotBack​

Going into the closet, Tanya would have found oodles and oodles of pictures hanging from the walls, all dedicated to what could only be a celebrity. On the floor of the closet, you'd find a man who was the spitting image of the one in the photographs only he looked a lot more disheveled and he didn't have a big grin on his face. He sat there, holding a stolen bottle of rum and a tablet (also stolen) playing a movie called 'Joe Dirt.' Tears ran down his face as he kept on repeating in a sullen tone, "I used to be somebody," over and over.

Anyway, like all fine establishments worth their class, Cocytus had two washrooms to choose from. One for the ladies, and one for the gentlemen. What Tanya did not know was which bathroom needed cleaning. This became apparent to her as a male exited the boy's bathroom, letting a wave of stink wash over her, potentially bringing her to tears. The question was, was the job worth it?​

 

[DapperDogman]

Hands on his hips, Shaxx clears his throat, addressing Steve plainly "No-one left you to die" he says sternly "We were guarding the upper floors to prevent a flank attack that might leave you trapped below within the compound. Alexandria insisted on staying, but I was worried about her injury, so we returned here so she could have her wound taken care of" he stands there, arms crossed as he looks at the young man with his bat. He turns to Alexandria "Perhaps now would be a good time to hand over what we recovered to Pallet and receive our payment"

Sleek​

 

[Sleek]

Alexandria turned to Pallet, nodding at Shaxx. It wasn't the truth, and they both knew it, but Alexandria wasn't gonna pass up getting out of a sticky situation like that. Besides, it looked like both parties had some loot they could use to pay for medical bills, and they could buy some ammo and armor for next time.

"Yeah. It didn't go smoothly. Here's what we got, so we can discuss the pay. This one's for me and Shaxx, and it looks like those two got their own little relic."

Alexandria said, reaching into her tail with her right arm and pulling out the glowing green cube.

"This is what me and shaxx found, aside from a few abandoned weapons. You seem to run a fine establishment, so I doubt you need a few ordinary guns. I didn't touch this thing, so I'm not sure if it's a weapon, a tool, or a bomb."

She said, giving it to Pallet.

"But, we found it in a building specifically for holding anomalous objects, and they were apparently so dangerous or useful that they were in the process of moving them when they got brought to Millenium City."

Hunter nods and hands the box over to Pallet. “Didn’t find much except this beautiful box. I don’t know what it is or if it’s of any value to you, but here you are!” She knew better than to push for payment, gives off the impression that you are too greedy, and was a little unprofessional. “Whatever this faculty was, it had quite a breach. Dead people everywhere! But I’m sure you knew that!”

[Nightwisher]

"Worried about an injury?" The woman quirked an eyebrow. "Well, we can fix that up if you want." Pallet shifted her gaze to the items presented to her. "Yeah, you can keep the guns, and the bat," she decided after a few moments. They weren't going to be needed around here, after all. "And let's see... the two artifacts seem interesting enough, I'll take them off your hands sure thing." The woman offered one of her dazzling smiles. "Considering this was your first run, and all of you are so adorable, I'll heal any injuries free of charge. I'd say about... a hundred-fifty for going, fifty for not shitting your pants, and a hundred for each artifact. Four hundred 'round the table sound good?"

Pallet's gaze turned on Hunter when she spoke, her blue eyes flashing red for just a moment. "Are you suggest that I knowingly sent you into a dangerous situation without warning?" She crossed her arms over her chest as a warning for Hunter to choose her words very carefully.

[ButtDanceClaudette]

Claudette Morel, while her comrades were working their asses off, decided to remain behind. She was confused, perhaps a little scared after being left alone and away from both Bill and Alexandria. A cup of malt liquor was held between her fingers. She didn't normally drink - honestly, alcohol in general to her tasted horrible - but under these circumstances, decided to take a crack at it. Just this once.

While Claudette wandered around Cocytus, she heard rumors of a gang known as 'The Inquisitors' secretly accessing a portal to another dimension to steal and hijack various vehicles, old America style weaponry, and even recruits to maintain and conquer turf in Millennium City. According to an insider she overheard, in this dimension, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan apparently split up the United States in two halves, with each respective empire controlling the East and West Coast.

She shrugged at the notion and walked toward Alexandria.

"How did the job go?" she said, smiling at the fox woman.

Sleek @bar peeps

 

[PolikShadowbliss]

Hunter balked a bit.
“I applied no such thing madam.”
She composed herself.
“I just made the assumption that you at least knew of the facility itself not that you would willingly send untested personal into a dangerous situation.”
She hoped that would suffice, she had experience with words setting people off, and she wasn’t exactly the social type. She suspected that Pallet would not be the type to cross and she hoped she understood that she had simply misspoke. But at least she was being honest....

[Sleek]

"Yeah...Yeah. It went. Went about as well as it could. But, we have a couple weapons now, so we're good. With this money, I can even afford some bullet for this gun."

She said, taking Fifty Dollars from the take, and giving Fifty Dollars to Claudette. She didn't care about Hunter and Pallet's bickering. Pallet was a bitch. But unfortunately, she was a bitch with power, men, and money. That made her unapproachable...for now. Alexandria had no doubts they'd probably end up fighting, but she didn't think it'd happen yet. Only a few people were armed overall, and fewer still had powerful weaponry.

"Here, take some. This isn't much, but it's a start. Pallet was nice enough to give me a freebie on the arm, so hopefully I'll be fine after this."

She said, looking back to Pallet and Shaxx.

"Can I please get this fixed? It hurts. A lot."

"Let me see," Claudette chimed in, after offering her gratitude for the $50, eyes examining Alexandria's shoulder. Blood freely seeped from the wound, matting her fur in a deep red. Crossing her arms, the botanist tapped her foot. Yeah, it was bad. Not too bad, but given enough time, an infection could easily set in.

"Hold on. I'm going to try and disinfect the area first. It's the least I can do before a medical professional can patch you up."

Within a few minutes, Claudette left the scene, returning with a bottle of rubbing alcohol she managed to snag off a bartender.

"This'll burn. You ready?"

Sleek @bar peeps

 

[Nightwisher]

Pallet said nothing, just merely looked at Hunter for a long moment before moving on as if nothing had happened. "Yeah, pup, sure thing." The woman stepped forward, shooting a glance at Claudette with an arrogant smirk, crouching down to see what exactly was the issue. With a sigh, she pulled a golden dagger from her jacket. The blade extended from the hilt like a snake, rippling up and down. It looked more for fashion than for use, but she used it nonetheless. Pallet slipped the tip of the dagger into the wound, digging the bullet out of the shallow wound. Once the bullet was free, she tossed it over the bar without looking, the bartender watching it and then raising his thumb as a sign that she'd made it into the trash. Of course, she hadn't turned around to check.

The white haired woman wiped the blade off on her pants before placing it back in her jacket. "Alright," Pallet's hand started to glow a gentle green before she gently lay it against Alexandria's injury. It would feel cold at first, then slowly grow warmer until she pulled her hand away. "There you go." She stood, looking over the Braixen's now healed wound, nothing but a small scar to prove that she'd been shot. Her gaze turned to Steve, giving a smile as he raised his shirt. Once again, her hand started to glow a gentle green as she placed her hand against his acid burned skin. Just like Alexandria, Steve would feel the coolness and then the growing warmth until Pallet stepped away. "Anything else you guys need?" As she spoke she picked up the artifacts as a show that she really didn't want to help them with anything else.

"Can't hurt worse than getting shot."

She said, nodding. She decided to sit down first, clenching her small hands into fists.

"Ready."

As Pallet ripped the bullet out, she'd shriek in pain, before sighing in relief as the pain ebbed away. There was an ugly scar, and a patch of fur missing, but she'd live.

"Thanks."

Alexandria said, once she'd recovered.

"and yeah, there's a couple. A place where I can wash off, and a place where I can buy some ammo."

Having accomplished her goal, Claudette did the only thing she knew how in this situation and t-bagged twice in response as a thank you before taking a sip of her malt liquor.

"Bathrooms are through there," Pallet pointed to toward the facilities. "As for ammo, we tend to get a few people running through here that are looking to sell weapons and ammunition, so you could ask around. If not, there are a few shops in the city, shouldn't be too hard to find. Though, I'm not sure how likely they are to sell to dogs." With another sweet smile, the white haired woman left the group to their own devices.

Pallet hesitated in walking away when she heard Steve speak, she turned around, the smile dancing across her lips as she stepped back. "Or," she lifted a hand and placed it on the back of his seat, leaning in until her face was an inch away from his. She smelled sweet and inciting. "I could add another statue to my lake." With a flash of red crossing her eyes, the back of Steve's chair burst into beautiful, jagged ice that started to inch toward him. If he didn't move it would start to over take him. Without even waiting to see how he would react, turned back around and walked away.

Taking a step forward, Shaxx removes the folded papers from his bandoleer, offering them toward Pallet slightly "It seems most of the interesting items had already been transported to other facilities, but I did find coordinates on where some of the objects that weren't moved may have ended up" as if it weren't obvious enough, he goes on, explaining "If I were to explore these places and obtain anything else of interest, I trust there will always be payment waiting for me here?" he folds the paper back up, slipping it back into his bandoleer and placing his hands on his hips once more.

When Shaxx stepped forward, Pallet stopped once more with a sigh. She snapped her fingers and called the blonde waitress that Shaxx had spoken to earlier and handed her the artifacts. "Put those in my office please," with a nod the waitress walked away with the loot in her arms so Pallet could turn back to the group. "Oh?" with a quirked eyebrow she stepped forward, looking over the piece of papers. "Interesting." Her gaze turned to the man as he pulled the papers away. "Yes, I'm always willing to buy. And if there's something I won't buy, there are always others around here who will. As long as you can find them, that is. And I trust I'll be able to come to you lot whenever I want an errand run?" After all, this had been a trial run for their ability to fetch things she asked them to.
