The Informant | Closed
Who: Tobias and Alastor
Which: Closed Log
Where: The forest/Alastor's place
What: Tobias has questions, and ironically the radio demon seems likely to keep his mouth shut.
Warnings: Probably talk of PTSD and war in here. Also hunting, and cannibalism is likely to show up.
Tobias has questions. A lot of questions, actually. He needs information about this place, and the weird demon (alien?) seemed willing enough to provide it. So why not try him? ... A bunch of reasons, up to and including "demons aren't real", "if they are real you shouldn't make a deal with them", and "if you're going to give a present to a demon, what do you even bring?". But eventually Tobias settles on a course of action. He waits until he can see Alastor go off to do... something.
And then he goes off to execute his plan.
He morphs in the woods to Hork-Bajir, setting off for where he'd seen deer. It doesn't take long for him to take one down, considering that he jumps on it from the tops of the trees and brings down a wrist blade into its neck. The head severs from the neck cleanly, and the rest of the herd scatters.
Tobias drags it back to Alastor's place, sets it nearby, and demorphs. There's no cameras here (he's pretty sure) so he's safe. ... He thinks. But either way he's done it, and he perches on a tree nearby to wait for Alastor to come back. ... It's a good thing he already ate, since that deer would make him very hungry.

He wants a cheeseburger every once in a while. Sue him.
<Just don't get yourself hurt on my account.>

His grin widened.
"Perhaps if you're feeling adventurous when you 'morph', you'd like to try some jambalaya! Nothing untoward in the ingredients, I assure you, but it's got a spicy kick right out of Hell!"
After a chuckle at the thought, he grinned at Tobias.
"Regardless, in exchange for figuring out and brewing this tea for you, I've one thing to ask of you in return: When you're out hunting, keep an eye out and make note of places where noctaere, red hats, or any of the other nasty little creatures may be setting up nests. It'd be quite helpful in keeping them away from the town and the people we care about. I keep an eye out when I do my own regular hunting, but I can't cover as wide a range as you can with those wings of yours."

Please don't kill him with spice, Alastor.
But the request has him chuckling mentally. He was already planning on doing that - checking for other predators is only natural for him. <I'll let you know what I find. Between the two of us, we should be able to clear out a lot.>
