The Weird Hunters group that came from Vacuo

Arrival to the Town

Guerrero and the rest of the party continued towards what is believed to be a town. They have been following Allatriste's map, and according to him, they should be in the town soon. The non-Remenant members of the party excitedly talk among themself wondering what the town would be like.

"I wonder what the town would look like, hopefully, they have a bath. I really wanna wash the grim out of my hair." Isabella said with a smile.

As she said this she turned to Texas and cocked her head to the side, "Can you even take a bath, 'cause wouldn't you just float on the water. I mean you did say you're a boat." Isabella asked Texas. As she said this the rest of the party all turned to her similar looks of concern.

"As long as my rigging isn't activated I am just a normal woman. So yes I can bath without floating on top of the water." Texas replied.

As they were conversing Allatriste handed the other party members some cloaks. "I would recommend you guys wear these. This should help you stand out as much due to your outfits." He explained as each party member grabbed a cloak to wear.

"What is wrong with our outfit," Isabella said as she looked at her outfit.

"Yours is probably the least concerning out of all of them," Allatriste said gesturing to Guerrero, who was standing there wearing his greatcoat, gas mask, and helmet.

"You got a point. He does stand out." Texas said, "Maybe you should take the helmet and gas mask off." As she said this both Isabella and Allatriste both turned to look at her.

"You aren't one to talk. Beside him, you stand out the most." Allatriste said, "One you have two Faunus traits which is unheard of in our world. You are also really tall for a woman, and your outfit stands out the most." As he said this Texas begrudgingly put on her cloak.

"Ok fine, I may not be a model for your dimension fashion sense but it still hurts to be singled out like that." She said, putting on her cloak.

Allatriste then turned to Guerrero and looked him over, "Now back to you is it possible for you to remove the gas mask and helmet?"

Guerrero looks at Allatriste almost as if he was asked to remove his skin. "I am sorry, but I am not sure it would be safe to remove it." He asked, his confusion being evident even though his outfit.

"What do you mean are you not human," Isabella asked visibly confused.

"I am human, not a disgusting xeno, or vile mutant," Guerrero responded.

"Will according to my Mag, the atmosphere should be viable for a human to survive, or is there a different reason," Isabella responded.

"Wait maybe we shouldn't force him, he might just be uncomfortable removing it. I meet someone similar to him back in my world. She wouldn't remove her mask because she felt uncomfortable without it on." Texas chimed in. As she said this Guerrero merely nodded his understanding.

"If you want I can give you one of my crew wet weather jackets," as Texas said this she pulled out a rain jacket with a large hood. As she handed it to Guerrero, he removed his helmet. He then put the jacket on and as he put the hood on it covered his gas mask. Allatriste studied his party he verified that they looked good and he signaled them to proceed.

As they reached the entrance to the town, they were surprised to see a stone wall that surrounded the town. As they approached the gate they were stopped by the guards. "Halt what is your purpose in visiting this town." Asked the guard as he held up his hand in a signal to stop.

The party halted their advance as Allatriste stepped forward to answer the guard's question. "We are traveling Huntsmans and Huntress. We were hoping to stop and get some rest, and to resupply." As he said this he handed his Hunter's license to the guard. "I apologize but my other party members lost their license in a battle against some grim. I will vouch for their character." As the guard looked at the license he merely nodded and turned to the party. Noticing how Guerrero had his face covered with a hood, "Why does he cover his face like that." He asked.

"He was badly sunburned, and as such he is wearing the hood to protect it from getting worse," Allatriste said. The guard looked at Guerrero a bit and just nodded.

"Very well, the sun has been quite strong the past couple of days." The guard said as he weaved them through.

As Allatriste and the rest of the party walked through the gate, they were greeted with a maze-like city, with many tan buildings which are made from dried mud bricks.

"Stay close, as you may have noticed this city isn't exactly laid out in an organized manner. Also Texas please do not destroy this city like you did the last one we were in." Allatriste warned.

"Hey it's not my fault, somebody decided to lead a giant robot to attack me." Texas retorted.

"That's not fair, you shouldn't put the blame squarely on me. How was I supposed to know you had anger issues." Isabella witty said back.

"I don't have anger issues, I just had a long day at the time," Texas said with a grin.

Allatriste just face-palmed at the conversation happening behind him. He just looked at Guerrero. "You just stay calm and don't go full psycho again, please," Allatriste said, all Guerrero did in response is to nod back.

After this conversation, they walked. A couple of meters and then ducked into two separate alleyways, by this point, the rest of the party had become completely turned around and lost. They promptly arrived at what appeared to be some kind of store.

"Welcome to Richard Emporium, one of the finest merchants I ever met, he can find any product or item you need," Allatriste said as he gestured to the storefront. "Hopefully you guys can find some outfits that can make you guys stand out less."

After he finished his introduction, Allatriste opened the front door of the shop. As the party entered Allatristed weaved to his friend. Richard was a short stocky man, he had his brown hair cut short. He is well-muscled and worked out.

"How are you doing my friend? I see that the desert hasn't swallowed you up yet." Richard said as he returned the weave. "Your friends are free to explore the products. I hope you find what you need." As he said this he turned to the other party members. With his permission, they headed off to inspect the clothes.

As the rest of the party moved away, Richard approached Allatriste. "My friend, I have some information for you. It seems that your stunt in the town has drawn some attention. I heard from a Hunter friend that a party was sent to inspect what happened." As Allatriste heard this he then turned to Richard and with great interest. "Any chance you know more," he responded.
