[1v1] So Not Scary (Finn vs. Hel)

[Seussi]

Her answer didn't surprise him in the slightest. "I believe you." He said, and it was true, he did. He didn't know what she was, though Trynt had suggested that she might be a Reaper, considering just how very human she appeared, though there was no weapon or familiar in sight, and she hadn't used any kind of Harry Potter like wizardry on him (more info garnered from the weapon).

"Because it would be stupid, and you don't strike me as the stupid type, darling." Of course, now that she had answered his question, and she had answered his, it was her turn again....

But he asked her another question anyways, because <******** the rules.

"What do you know about the horsemen?"

Hel crossed her arms and grinned, very self assured. She cocked her weight to one side, a hip jutting out as she rested like that, getting more comfortable for a conversation. Her grin only widened. Well, good. Someone who knew she wasn't stupid, ha! Take that, Mac!

But as he asked her the question, Hel clucked her tongue, and wagged a finger at him.

"Nuh huh. It is my turn!" That being said. "If I wanted you to escort me around your...island...for a day, could you?"

Seussi

 

[Seussi]

Now that was a question that took some thinking about. He considered it for a moment, thought about what he knew about those of Halloween coming to the island.

"I believe...it's possible." He finally answered. "But you would be collared, with a Fear dampener that would make you weak and unable to fight or do any damage, and you would be completely at my mercy." He smiled at that, his typical cold smile.

"But then again, I am not in the death or life division, so that's not really my field of duty. If you are serious about it...I'm sure I could make an inquiry."

He was secretly hoping she wasn't serious. He was not all that interested in babysitting the freak duty.

"Even then I am sure there would be strict restrictions on where you would be allowed to go on the island as well, so I wouldn't get your hopes up on some grand tour of a five star beach resort or anything like that, darling."

Hel already had a hunter in mind who could take her...but she figured it wouldn't hurt to scope out more and inquire. Plus if she worked a certain hunter enough, maybe she could get by without having to be collared. Hel met Finn's cold smile with a self assured one of her own. "******** a bunch of that s**t, Finn." She replied. "Just me on an island full of hunters and they want to lock me down? I think not. The odds are already in your kind's favor if I were to step foot on it..." She trailed off for a moment before she let out a bark of laughter.

"Finn, please." She sneered. "You ******** insult me by even jesting I would be interested in a beach resort on your hell hole of a base." She smirked and crossed her arms.

"What is your next question?" She'd pretend like he didn't ask her about horsemen earlier.

Seussi

 

[Seussi]

God she was a sassy little b***h, he'd give her that. It was almost comforting in a way, to see just how very human she was, but like any human, a woman especially, being talked down to didn't sit very well with Finn Connor.

But what could he do about that, really? She had been kicking his a** up until this point, and he wasn't about to step his foot in it and end up back on the infirmary on Deus because her attitude was beginning to grate. So instead, he chuckled at her response, still leaning on his lance in a very casual manner.

"You asked, darling. Don't get huffy with me just because you don't like the ******** answer." He smiled, then and let out a dramatic sigh when she asked him what his question was again.

"...I want to know if you can send a message to a horseman for me." He said, changing it up slightly because who knew how much longer they really had to go back and forth like this, though information on the horsemen would have been great as well.

[Lucyal]

And Hel would happily resume kicking Finn's a** again if he got too lippy with her.

"Ya, I do not like the answer it is ******** stupid, and it is just as ******** stupid as the orders you seem to follow..." Her eyes lidded and she stared at the hunter speculatively before she gave a curt nod of her head. "Ya. I can. I just need a name." She figured it couldn't hurt to pass a message. Hel was interested in hunter dynamics, and if she could delve deeper into matters she would, even if this meant play messenger...like right now! Any little bit would help she thought.

"What do I get in return? It better be worth my while." That was a demand with a smirk.

Seussi

 

[Seussi]

Finn was about to open his mouth to reply, and then stopped, his eye narrowing on the woman.

"What do you want in return?" He asked, before giving her any message at all.

Lucyal

quality tag

 

[Lucyal]

Hel hummed thoughtfully. Oops! She didn't have something in mind right off the bat, she she supposed she should! Something equal to delivering a message to a horseman...

She grinned a bit and pointed at him.

"I want your eye patch."

Seussi

Legit tag now

 

[Seussi]

Oh for ******** sake.

Finn stared at her for a good many long seconds with a deadpan look in his eye. Was she being serious right now? He was fighting with every inch of his being not to grind his teeth at her, before he finally reached up with one gloved hand, to pull the eye patch up and over his head, revealing beneath an empty eye socket, with scars around and inside. It was ugly. It made him ugly. That's what he thought, at least, and before he threw the small piece of his vanities salvation away, he dropped his eye to it, to the symbol on it's surface, rubbing his thumb over it.

And then he tossed it in her direction.

"Anything else?" His words were clipped, and short.

Like ******** she was getting anything else.

Lucyal

 

[Lucyal]

Hel wasn't entirely sure she'd be getting what she asked for, and she wasn't even seriously asking for it. It was more of a test to her. To see if he'd give her what she asked for, when that something seemed to be of importance. He did, and Hel seemed rather surprised before she easily caught the eye patch when it was tossed to her. The reaper blinked down at it, looking it over before she looked up at him. Her eyes curiously roamed over what it had been hiding before she grinned, not at all put off by what she saw.

"No, except for the name of the horseman you seek, and the message you wish to pass." She gave a firm nod of her head.

[Seussi]

Inwardly, Finn was seething, while outwardly he chose to show nothing but his usual cold exterior, though even his anger was only momentary and already he began the work of smoothing out his rankled nerves with thoughts meant to calm. This wasn't a big deal. He had more eye patches on the island. She was just some monster anyways and even without an eye, he was probably a far better sight then some of those she had to deal with on a daily basis.

That last one wasn't quite as comforting, for some reason.

Smirking only when she decided that what he had given her was good enough, he barely considered his words whats so ever before saying them, as speaking before thinking was apparently his specialty.

"Her name is Shaheen. Tall, blonde, winged, crazy...I've been told that she's likely a part of the war clan. If you could find her, please, and just let her know that I'm pretty ******** tired of her messing up my things, and would appreciate it if she would stop, I'd....well I certainly wouldn't be grateful, but I'll be less inclined to hunt her down and see if we can't find a way to make the remainder of her existence....less then comfortable."

He was betting a stint in a weaponization chamber would do her some good. Even if it didn't work on horsemen, it would surely do something to her.

Lucyal

 

[Lucyal]

As Finn spoke, Hel committed it all to memory, and though what the hunter was feeling wasn't obvious, there was an unspoken promise in those words she picked up on. War, got it. Briefly she thought she'd ask Gramps if he knew her....but then she decided against it. She wasn't sure she wanted to tell the Famine sage she was fraternizing with Hunters...much less passing messages for them...yeaaaaah. She'd just go look for this one. It couldn't be too difficult, right?

Once he was done, Hel gave a firm nod of her head.

"Alright. It shall be passed, you have my word."

With a grin, she then tossed his eye patch back to him. "You should head out now...lest you want to run into someone else who will finish beating your a**."

Seussi

 

[Seussi]

Good. Done. He supposed that made his time in the Haunted House slightly more productive then it might have been if he hadn't encountered anybody at all. Talking to this creature, whatever she was, had proven at least interesting if nothing else, and if she could pass on his message, then that was just about as good as giving it to the horseman himself.

Better, if it meant he didn't put his a** on the line in the process, actually.

Hel got a cursory, "Thanks." And a nod, before he began fishing in his pocket for the pendant required to portal him out of there.

His fingers had just clasped around the pendant when she was tossing the eye patch back at him, a surprising move, though only a flinch in his muscles showed that for a moment, he thought about trying to catch it, before it landed on the floor.

"Keep it, sweetheart. I've got ten more just like it back home." He took a step back, desummoning his weapon while giving her a wide smirk. "Just don't go telling all your friends that it's a trophy from your last sexual conquest." With that he turned, and headed off, making sure he was around a corner before opening up a portal and heading through.

Lucyal

that's a wrap <3
