Who: Hawks & You
Status: Open
Where: Various Locations
What: MANTA Board Quests
Warnings: Thanks to Closing Loose Ends, I would expect violence and bloodshed, unless everyone is real cooperative which seems unlikely. A rare chance to see the dark side of Hawks. If he is pressed about this, there may be more. I’ll update accordingly.





Glory In The Hole

[ Hawks enters the craftsman’s store after following the request on the MANTA board, and having listened diligently to the instructions, he sets to work gathering materials. He doesn’t need a charm like this, as far as he knows, but it would be nice to share one with the crew. With all the heat and flame involved, Hawks find an empty spot in a cubby hole and much of his feathers start pulling out of his wings to pile up there, leaving him with very small wings on his back. He just doesn’t want to drag the other feathers into a potential health hazard.

That’s when he’ll be caught out and find himself turning to greet whoever has walked in to join him. ]

Trying this out too? The different coloured glass pieces are over there. [ Not at all shockingly, Hawks has selected reds and oranges. ]

Paint The Town ROYGBIV

[ Unsurprisingly, Hawks has never done this, and he has no real artistic talent, but he’s going to give it all. The selection of graffiti paints has him picking up a spray can of of silver paint. Maybe he can outline something? ]

Hey. [ He half-whispers to the person next to him. ] What are you going to draw?

Tara-Tam Deepcroft 2

[ The noise is unsettling. Not the fact it’s ghostly, or the fact that Tara-Tam had been vacant last time he was here, nor is it the volume – Hawks can’t pinpoint where the noise is. That’s downright disturbing.

He stands in the entrance with his brows furrowed, he’s even got his earphones to try and help him but no, nothing. It’s just...noise. Ambient noise almost. ]

What is going on in this place? [ He’s awfully focused, most likely someone catching his attention will startle him. ]

Eggscort Duty

[ Okay so Hawks isn’t exactly swimming in gold to donate, so that’s out, but he can defend the hoard from anyone who would come to line their pockets during this opportune time.

He sidles up to whoever is crouching down, sifting through the pile. ]

Hello! [ He sounds cheerful enough but he’s looming over them. ] What do you think you’re doing?

Cat Kneads

[ Hawks is a hero. Not just a hero, he’s the number two hero and that’s not without the skills behind it – but honestly, this is the worst mission. He was chasing a cat that happened to be wearing a hat, but that’s not the problem.

The cat is a cat and when he dove to try and get it, the cat has turned around and started attacking his wings. ]

I can’t... stop that! [ Hawks pulls himself up and starts trying to bat at his wings, but that cat sure is digging their claws into what presumably they believe to be their prey. ]

Who is catching who here?!

[ If he’s turning around in a circle, trying to get a cat off of him, it’s definitely because he means to. ]

Closing Loose Ends

[ Hawks was one of those who had been captured in this crystallization scheme. He does not care about the personal slight – he cares about the fact they hurt so many people. It makes him mad, and so when the bounties start showing up, he snatches them off the board without a word, ready to take flight.

If he’s not claiming a bounty page, he’s already in pursuit, landing in random seedy looking places, chasing down an alleyway.

Oh he could catch them alright, but the way he’s behaving is more like a predator who is playing with his food. He’ll still do the heroic thing, but giving them a head start, toying with them...well that’s hardly worth the suffering they inflicted on others.

Hawks is coming for them, one way or another. ]
