WHEN: Starting on the 22nd and likely continuing to the 23rd?
WHAT: Their assignment from Zee!
WARNINGS: ... Idk monsters?

[ Well.

That mission was right up her alley? And honestly, she's actually a little excited to get to study those species in an official capacity. To that end, at the edge of the city, the woman actually has a notepad in hand where she's already taken all of her notes before now. Still, a rescue mission, huh! She saw the CC there, and it's the same name of the young man who promised to show her to dragons in Respatrum. So...

She had pinged him to meet up here. She showed up early, of course! But... well. Unless he's got a better car, it's time for the not made for off roading mobile out there to try to find those specific creatures. ]

[Goro is thrilled to get out of the city? What with everything... everythinging, it's certainly a welcome break, and with the very young lady he'd wanted to show Respartum to as well; really, it could not have worked out better, and he arrives fashionably early to their meeting spot.

... No, he does not have a better car in any capacity, biking is too much in this sort of heat. He'll raise his hand to greet her.]

Miss Natalia! A pleasure to be working with you, especially since I've actually dealt with at least one of these before... It was quite the thief, so be sure to keep a firm hold on your belongings once we encounter it.

[nachetanya]

Thief? Does the species make some sort of nest with the things?

[ She tilts her head. But yeah, she's pleased to be working with the man too. Now that she sees him in person... Man he really is handsome. Her red eyes blinks and... ]

I think I've dealt with one of these before! The mechanical birds. They're mostly out by that desert-like area in my experience.

[twostringsonebow]

Not a clue. It simply stole something from a friend of mine and we chased it down mercilessly.

[It was Fun.]

Oh, good, that's two down... very many more to go. Let's do the birds first since we know where they are and work our way from there? I'm sure some of these must inhabit the same environment to an extent.

[It's at least someplace to start.]

[nachetanya]

[ To that she nods! But ... well.

She should give a fair warning, even if she sets out... ]

They're huge and on the dangerous side, by the way! I've not really worked out how to manage them. But I think it'll be okay in the end here?

[ But yeah, we're going out there!! ]

[twostringsonebow]

[Huge and dangerous... Unknown ability in battle. Nice. Let's roll. ☆]

It shouldn't be a problem. I'm quite handy in a fight, though I'd prefer to at least study their habits first... I wonder if they build their own kind, or if they hatch the way other birds do? Albeit in a different manner entirely.

[nachetanya]

I wonder that too! I definitely want to learn that if possible!

[ She would clap, but you know, prosthetic hand. Natalia's eyes bright, she ... ]

And not fight.

[twostringsonebow]

Because you can't, or because you'd rather not resort to violent means?

[Because Goro's more on the latter, thought self-preservation will always work out.]

[nachetanya]

I don't want to run any risk of... [ ... ] Well, killing anything, I suppose.

[twostringsonebow]

Completely understandable, Miss Natalia. Should it come to fighting, I'll do all I can to incapacitate rather than decapitate them.

[He thinks he's sooooo clever.]

What others do you think we may find there..? Elephants live on the savannah usually, but I wonder if a desert-like area wouldn't be out of the way.

[nachetanya]

The ecology of all the regions is really mixed, actually... but let's see, aside from that, I feel as if I've seen a fair few of the slingshot monkeys around oases out there! Aside from that, there's about what you might've expected... Though actually with Respatrum in the air now, the whole area might've changed up some.

[ That's an interesting idea. She glances at the list again. Those monkeys are there. And then there's also these... ]

Ah, these!

[ The Sandbats! She doesn't know how to describe them if he's never seen them, so she just points it out on their dossier. ]

[twostringsonebow]

[Ah, those!!!! Gross gremlins they are. Eck. Goro'll pick through the list, trying to pair together some of the more logical ones and wonder what sort of odd... animal? creature? is here and there with them.]

You certainly are knowledgeable. Well then, you'll be our guide and I will protect you while you observe them; should you require anything else, ask and you will receive.

[He sort of wants to look for the birds first, since those are Cool, so he'll be keeping his eyes on the sky as they go..! Oh.]

Um, do you have road trip music? I have a playlist on my phone if not. I haven't been able to use it before, since I haven't gone all that far from Recolle save Respartum, but I think it'd be nice.

[nachetanya]

I don't have anything actually. I mean, I guess I have a good spotify playlist but it's not actually a road trip thing. Closest I have is the one I used to use to drive back home.

[ THAT SAID. She nods at the other suggestions and it's time to drive into the desert with the Prius of Justice. ]

[twostringsonebow]

[Oooh, his time to shine then..♪ Though it's not like it's anything unusual, it's just going to be a lot of memorable hits from the early 2000s, those earworms you hear even now and want to belt out. And some from the 90s sprinkled in.

Please don't make fun of his basic taste. What's first on our monster list in the desert.]

[nachetanya]

[ I mean.

... On the plus side this is shit anyone recognizes.

But yes, to the desert! And first on the list is...

Well, the thundering sound of jet engines overhead probably betrays what'll be first on those cliffsides over there. ]
