Current Quest
When he heard of the possibility that the city now has a Quest Center, for people who want to employ others in a easy manner to do the jobs they either cant or don’t want to. He started getting curious about it, coming to the Center and looking at what exactly is expected of them.
The quest itself.. Raised his interest. Ever since that one trip at the Mansion and the small butterfly following him the whole road trip back to the kennel, he couldn’t help but wonder if there might be different breeds that would act in the same manner. Usually he isn’t the type to be attracted to such weak creatures, but there is just something about them that lures him in, and since caterpillars grow up to either be moths or butterflies.. Well, he decided to try it out, and since the employer didn’t care if he captured a few, it would only be more profit for him in the end.
Although, taking along a untried creature with him, much less a Equilion bursting in blue flames and more likely to destroy the whole garden and have him fail the quest then help him complete it, might not be one of his brightest ideas.
Still, just the same as the butterflies, this guy attracts him in a way he isn’t quite able to explain in words, just that for all his intimidating presence there is also a calmness to him that might have more to do with him being death then his actual personality, but he takes what he can get from it. A being that doesn’t resist being led to the garden in need of extermination, and hopefully after he captured a few of them, and starts the process of killing the rest. Hades might be interested in helping him out.
“One can hope..” He muses, wanting to give him the chance for it as their aren’t many creatures he is able to feel like a bond could be formed with. He gives Hades another fruit treat in order to entice him into following his every footstep. This Equilion might be the strangest yet with his habit of loving food, and breathing in occasionally only to end up making sounds when he wants too, even though he isn’t alive to even needing to eat anything at all, much less breathing. The soft snuffling sounds as Hades takes the treat, and chews on it are interesting, but since they are close to the location now, he focuses his attention to finding the right garden. Which should be easy, with the message being that desperate, it could only mean you’d need to find the one with the biggest bugs in it that are chewing up the whole garden.

In the requester's garden, a few caterpillars munched on leaves of various plants, but in one direction, on one seemingly prized plant, a cocoon was being woven. It had only just started, but imagine the chaos that would cause if it managed to metamorphose!

Looking into some of the gardens he passes it doesn’t seem like they are the one, none of them have the bugs so visible to be a plague, but he is certain to be near it. Shifting the shovel to a more comfortable spot on his shoulder, he hands Hades a meat treat this time with the hand not holding on to the shovel from his coat pocket. He made certain to have easy access to that with one hand while the rest of his equipment is in the backpack. With the touch of lips grabbing another treat as the Equilion comes closer he looks into another large garden when he drops his hand, his eyebrow raising up as he sees just why the requester is this desperate to have people take care of it. Numerous caterpillar’s are eating up all the plant matter, it’s a wonder why it hasn’t yet spilled into the other gardens, did this owner not believe in a bug spray? Shrugging the thought of him, he walks towards a white painted metal gate with a typical picket fence about chest height that leads towards this particular garden, checking behind him to make certain Hades is actually following him and not wandering off. Which, if Hades did do that, and couldn’t be lured back with treats would give him a hard time trying to figure out how to lead him back in the direction he wants him to go too. He hasn’t exactly brought any rope with him to tie around his neck, it wouldn’t have even worked had he tried. Clicking his tongue to get Hades attention, he took out another treat, easily showing it to him in order to get his interest back when it seemed he wanted to follow the path further that they had been on. Hades ears pricked up at the sight of the treat, his tail curling slightly at one of his hind leg as he stops. When Claw gets close enough to the gate, he uses his chin to hold on too the wood of the shovel as he uses his now free hand to open the gate as wide as possible, for it isn’t that large in order for Hades to actually be capable of getting in. Then starts to repositioning the way he holds on to the shovel. Clicking his tongue again, and showing the treat, he steps inside and walks backwards in order to make certain Hades is following, and that the flames coming from his hooves aren’t burning the ground they walk upon as he had noted previously when he first found out this one arrived at the kennel that anything he stepped on wasn’t getting burned for some odd reason, but it can always happen at one point. He hadn’t tried actually touching Hades directly either, preferring to wear gloves in order to avoid any burns should he need to touch those areas that are burning more silently then a fire would normally. They aren’t exactly burning up on anything from what he can tell, no skin at least. Hades seems a bit dubious as he slowly comes closer to the gate, eyeing everything beyond it, he probably has seen the same infestation as well, though what his actual thoughts on the matter are, he isn’t too certain. At least he comes inside after hesitating for a few seconds. Checking the hooves, he feels relieved that things aren’t going to be burning down either, or well, at least not in the manner it wasn’t intended to be done. (2) Claw 0.2 Hades LV 0.2 LY 0.4

Handing the treat towards Hades when he is finally inside and his head comes close enough to almost touch his chest, he steps back for a second to have more space away from his flaming mane, but keeps the hand holding the treat close to him, palm up and fingers spread wide. Its at least a relieve that Hades doesn’t seem to be the type to try and bite him at the first opportunity, he isn’t sure what he would have done had that happened on the way here. With the treat being grabbed again by a pair of lips that seems to be a pro at grabbing things, he drops his hand and carefully makes a wide bent around Hades in order to close the gate, and heave the shovel off his shoulder, letting it lean on the fence instead. For now, he doesn’t need it to whack some soon to be dead caterpillar’s, as he can see already it will be too many to actually take along with him after all is said and done. Shrugging off the backpack from his shoulders, he kneels down and opens the largest compartment, taking out the life radar, a pocket knife whose tools might see quite a bit of use today, and a pocket pet cage. Closing the backpack, he pockets the knife and radar in his coat where it bulges slightly at that spot. Though he doesn’t pay the extra weight much mind, instead he starts opening the small cage. Placing the lid for the moment under his left arm, and using that same arm to hold the cage to his chest, ignoring as best as possible the squishy parts there. Lips twisting in a grimace, he looks only long enough in Hades direction to earn a strange look from said Equilion, to make certain he is behaving himself before setting out to do his self-imposed task.

Enjoying the taste thoroughly from what he was given just now, he stares curiously at the area he was led too, he flicked his ear to the side as he hears the tall being, is busy with some sort of contraption, taking out more things that where brought along, but with no more food being uncovered from it, or presented to him he starts walking to the nearest bush with interest. For while the plant looks fresh, and he would have said almost full of life, where it not that peculiar little creatures are chewing on it. Cocking his head, he stares at them curiously, wondering if it really was that tasty for them all to eat it. Breathing in as well as he is able (when it is not really an instinctive reaction of his) made him scent the air around the bush, it really didn’t smell that good, the plant that is. But perhaps the little critters? Trying again he could detect a hint of.. vanilla? Or at least they smelled faintly of them now that he is coming closer to the cluster of tiny beings. He watches with interest as they start to scurry away from him for some odd reason. He doesn’t look that terrifying, does he? He exhaled in a loud snort, and sees one of them gripping the leaf its on just a little tighter as the air blows harshly in its direction. He eyes that tiny being as it scurries away as soon as the wind he exhaled stops blowing. (4) Claw 0.4 Hades LV 0.4 LY 1.3

Cocking his head, he dims the flames on his body to a low ember to see if they might react differently now. They didn’t, and already one of them spun its silk and threw itself off the leaf, dangling in the air and lowering itself at a rather alarming rate to the ground. More of the tiny beings do the same thing, but he eyes the one that had held on the leaf the tightest a moment ago the most, it had a larger zigzag pattern to it that others of its kind didn’t. The clacking noise that indicated something he couldn’t quite recall just now distracted him, and made him turn eyeing the tall being sideways in annoyance, but felt himself perk up at the paw being held out to him with food! He eyes the caterpillar for only a moment longer to remember the spot and where it might land then went over to the tall being, inhaling only to let out a neigh of appreciation, noticing that the tall being had grabbed some of those tiny critters he had been eyeing a second ago and vegetation in a container of some sort, a lid keeping them from scurrying out of it. The sight distracted him. But not for long and grabbing the food carefully between his lips, he moved them in such a way that the food falls on his tongue. The taste of fruit as he inhales, is delightful, but he wants to get back to that tiny critter, it’s in the process of reaching the ground now after all! (5) Claw 0.5 Hades LV 1.0 LY 2.0

Giving a final neigh to the tall being as he sees it turn around and go back to that grey contraption with the box now seemingly full of other tiny critters. Hurrying its way over to the spot he notices that he is just on time to see it land on the ground and disengage the silk rope, seemingly content to stay there, well, that was until he appeared. The flickering flames of his mane and the rest of his body bursting slightly in excitement, and for some reason that excited the little being as well! It started moving in what he assumes to be is running, but to him just looks like a rather slow pace, as he only needs to take one step for its two hundred steps perhaps. Flicking his ear at the noise now going on behind him, he doesn’t pay it much mind. The impact of something large hits his ears, but he doesn’t look up, the caterpillar made it to another tall bush! Will he climb on it? He leans a little closer as the tiny critter seems to hesitate, but in the end just hurried further on the ground, how it hadn’t gotten tired yet, he is uncertain of, but the little one sure seems to be full of energy! Maybe the tall being would be interested in grabbing this one as well? He snorts at that as he remembers the container already containing plenty, but just maybe.. (6) Claw 0.6 Hades LV 1.1 LY 2.2

It appears that you have succeeded! Over the course of the time you spend, there seem to be less and less of the horrible caterpillars, until finally they are very hard to find! Somewhere near the middle of the garden was some kind of a nest. When destroyed, surely no more of the foul caterpillars would plague the garden...
[Success! You will be messaged with your success prize shortly.]
EDIT: Forgot to mention, feel free to continue to roleplay if you feel like it, but there will be no more rolls. c;

He swipes the hair in front of his face after smacking another bush infested with caterpillars to death, sweat is dripping at the back of his neck when after killing about half a palm sized insect, he could still see so many of them feasting on the vegetation still. ‘ If I wasn’t so interested in their adult form..’ He thinks sardonically, sighing when he sees another caterpillar seemingly fleeing for its life from Hades coming towards him, the Equilion in question neighing in seemingly encouragement to run harder. He is still not certain what made Hades find it interesting to follow them, but with the half hour he has been using the shovel to smack them to death, he would have thought Hades got the rather heavy handed hint, and trample them to death. Maybe even gather them in a pile, and then set them on fire? He is at least glad he already got the container full with them, with the vegetation they eat inside it, that are easily found in the Public Park where he had seen them before, and a few Leaf treats added in the mix. Hopefully he gathered enough to start breeding them again when they are butterflies. This way at least he isn’t tempted to murder all of them before he remembers belatedly again the real reason he went to this place. (7) Claw 0.7 Hades LV 1.2 LY 2.4

Staring at the caterpillar still racing towards him with Hades right behind, he could only feel pity for the small thing, and a desire to help the poor thing out. Taking one step closer, he didn’t pay much attention to Hades, just aimed the edge of the spade, and strikes the ground with it the moment the caterpillar is below it. Ending the poor things misery. The loud neighing he got suddenly in response made him look up, and take a step back. Hades flames had been in a smoldering stage for a while now, hardly flickering in flames, but now? It seems to be full ablaze in the blue fire he is known to have as the Equilion neighs and lowers his head, his snout touching the caterpillar now split into two pieces with just a little green goo coming from its wounds. Is Hades hoping it will just jump back up, and be ready to sprint again? Tilting his head to the side he felt his white hair falling once more in front of his eyes, making him miss the motion that Hades is raising his head. The accusing tone in his neighing on the other hand was a little harder to miss, and when he looks in his direction again, Hades staring at him in a way he hadn’t yet seen him do before made him uncormfortable.

“What?!” He snaps in self-defense, for some reason feeling like he is being attacked without being able to see the physical wounds Hades stare is making him feel. “The caterpillar had to die, better a quick death then you tiring it out so much it dies from exhaustion.” He rolls his eyes at Hades when the Equilion breaths in, and snorts loudly in his direction. He grimaces as he feels something land on his cheek, and glares right back at him, feeling so done now, let the other people taking this assignment do the rest of the work, he’s done plenty already. Bringing the wood handle of the shovel to his left shoulder to lean on. He doesn’t think much on it as he turns around to head for his backpack, missing the mournful stare Hades makes at the caterpillar. Wiping the, whatever it is, off his face with disgust he hopes by all things sacred to him that it won’t give him any strange illnesses. (9) Claw 0.9 Hades LV 1.4 LY 3.3

Snorting at that thought, he stews silently on it all the way to his backpack before pushing the notion aside as he kneels down, placing the Shovel in such a way that it leans on the fence. Freeing both his hands. Turning his attention to the backpack again he starts opening the zipper in the middle and rummages in it, taking out the water bottle, he screws open the lid and drinks heavily from it, only stopping when its about halfway empty before screwing the lid back on it and dropping the bottle in the bag once more. Rummaging in his coat pockets he finds the life rader. Staring at it he can only wonder if with this type of quest it would have been handy to have used, but shrugs the thought away. Its all water under the bridge now. Placing that one back in the backpack as well, he closes the zipper, and picks it up at the straps. Maneuvering it so that it lays comfortable behind him, and the straps don’t dig into his shoulder-blades. Picking up the shovel he settles it so that it leans on his left shoulder again, the spade aimed in the air. With his free hand he opens the gate, and looks back into Hades direction, and clacks his tongue against his palate. Gaining Hades attention as the Equilion looks up, ears pointed in his direction, but the stare still so defiant. “Time to go home now!” He calls out, hardly expecting to be followed by him all that soon, but still hoping for it at the same time..
