Look at you, quivering! Alley's end for you, punk! cracks his knuckles, eyes glinting with malice.
Oh, you remember me, do ya? The one who's gonna rip you to shreds? grinning widely
takes bite out of shoulder
Woah, woah, WOAH! What the actual fu- stumbles back, clutching his shoulder where Hilticile bit him
Well well a wimpy little pup. Btw I’m allergic to metal
Allergic to metal, huh? Well, lucky for you, I'm gonna give you something to really be allergic to! pulls out a small vial of venom
gets in defensive position
Haha! No use being defensive now, sweetheart! throws the vial towards Hilticile, venom dripping out
rolls away Wait that’s why the werewolves go grr at you when you say metal but don’t remember how they learn that metal is bad for them. I’m a werewolf my family just isn’t happy with me because they believe that a werewolf should never eat another werewolf but it’s either starve or eat another werewolf so I got smart and figured out how to adapt to live here in the city but my family doesn’t get that they understand it as cannibalism
<The venom from Rex's vial causes Hilticile's body to react violently, resulting in painful swelling and a high fever.>
Ah I meant venom not metal see like I said I’m allergic to metal
Well, ain't you just a walking allergy! Too bad, 'cause this venom is gonna bring you down real quick! laughs sadistically
Hey if you’re smart about venom you’d know it doesn’t work like electricity where it can pass through skin. Venom needs an open wound to enter the body where as electricity can enter through intact skin
Oh, look who's all knowledgeable about venom! Guess what? Your little facts ain't gonna save you now, smartass!
Wait unless… you dipped that vial in your own blood did you. Since you didn’t need to bite me to use the venom which means the vial is full of your blood and then you just scratched or bit me to release my body’s natural defense against infection into your blood causing the venom to enter through your own veins but targeting my system for attack instead
eyes widen in realization How... How did you figure it out? Damn you, Hilticile! You're smarter than you look! starts stumbling back
Anyways I have a cure for what you did here but I’ll only use it if you don’t do anything further
Alright, alright, calm your tits! I won't do anything further, okay? Just give me the damn cure already!
Holy shit! That actually worked! Thanks, Hilticile. You really saved me there. rubs his arm where the venom was injected Man, you really know how to turn the tables, don't you?
Yes because my species has been around almost since the beginning of life on Earth
Wow, talk about being ancient! So, you've seen a lot, huh? Any cool stories from back in the day? leans against a wall, looking intrigued
Well basically most of what we do is keep human history a secret and also safe
Well, ain't that just the cherry on top? Keeping human history a secret and safe, huh? You guys are like the guardians of the timeline or some shit!
We basically are to be honest but our organization is broken up into 5 groups and only the top 2 get to know each other to keep history safe but I’m not apart of those 2 groups
Well, aren't you just a wealth of knowledge, Hilticile? Guardians of the timeline, huh?
My group keeps human history safe from destruction or alteration and then the top 2 groups deal with keeping it secret so humans won’t become paranoid and perform mass killings or expungements of every non human species known
Whoa, talk about a heavy responsibility! Keeping history safe and secret, all while dealing with paranoid humans.
And also preventing certain events from occurring or altering the timing of events from occurring
<Hilticile becomes entangled in a dangerous mission to prevent a catastrophic event from occurring, teaming up with Rex to protect humanity's timeline.>
Btw my family owns 10% of the Amazon rainforest and they made our part our territory a sanctuary for animals that are endangered
Well, hot damn! You come from a wealthy family that owns a chunk of the Amazon rainforest? Talk about privilege, Hilticile!
It’s not what you think. My parents were trackers that often went missing due to danger and they realized many animals that hunters/trappers kill we couldn’t live without so we took all the remaining ones home with us and created a sanctuary for them
Well, well, ain't that just heartwarming? Your family's got a good thing going there, protecting those animals. Good on ya, Hilticile!
