A Smiling Dog and Tiger [Diva:Ivory

Mason walk into an relevty abandoned apartment in the outskirts of the district. He could smell the dank and mold as he pass by furniture ruined by old age. Inquisitive eyes scan the lobby in search of anything of note. Mason was on another hunt as he had heard strange things have been going on in this building from homeless people. While it could be drug induced Mason can see the sincerity in their voice as they recite strange rumors regarding a dog like beast. So like any of his family would he went on a hunt for this beast to put a stop to it.

I lay at the top of the stairs, but stir as someone comes in. I open my eyes and they glow a dark, blood red. "You woke me human" I say in a growl as I sit up into a regal sitting position, chest puffed up confidently. "Why?" My voice is deep and scratchy with a slight feminine touch. It sounds like an animal but is obviously speaking english.

OOC: He gets to meet Ivana first!!

(OOC: Cool! Let's see if they get along)

Given his art of the trade and popularity in abandoned buildings especially in urban areas Mason was not spooked by the resident. He turned to see a rather attractive redhead. "I am sorry for disturbing your rest miss, I'm merely here to track down a dog like beast that is rumored to be here," Mason said with sincerity as he wanted to be friendly with people.

(OOC: Sorry I meant to put that she was in tiger from but reading back it was not at all mentioned.)

Upon closer inspection in the dim lighting Mason realized the figure was actually a tiger. Mason thought he should get gear for night vision soon. Regardless upon learning that the girl is actually a Tiger it did not surprise him that much given that normality pretty much went out the window in these past decades. "So this is your home," Mason ask as his eyes trace the powerful muscles of the tiger. He was tempted to reach for his shotgun just in case but do not want to appear threatening.

I give a small laugh. "No. This is not my home. Just somewhere that looked comfy for a nap. I'm roomed in a nearby hotel." I tilt my head, and defend the stairs. "Now about this dog..."

"Well" He started as he brought out his journal and look for a certain page. "There has been many witnesses stating a dog-like creature around here. Most of them having experience vivid nightmares of this creature smiling at them." Mason said as he found the sketch he did when he was interviewing the homeless. Turning the journal around and he turned his flashlight on towards the sketch so that the Tiger could see.

Mason's Sketch:

"From what I've gathered it's akin to an Siberia Huskey with very wide, very human teeth." Mason said as he kept the flashlight on. The creature was an interesting cryptid and did not know what it was thus he needed to be extremely careful. For all he know it could be a hell hound variant and they are an pain to take down.

I descend the stairs carefully, keeping an eye on both the boy and his journal. "Oh yes. The smiling dog." I give a little tiger grin. "I've seen him before. He's pretty hard to injure. He's around here somewhere. He likes this apartment, though he knows to stay away from me." I frown. "What do you want with him?"

Mason closed his journal once the Tigress saw the sketch, "Well he has been linked to several gruesome murders so I'm here to subdue him and transport him to a place where he can't harm anyone" That was Mason plan A anyways as he was more proficient in banishing then killing. "The reason I'm here is to ensure the line between paranormal and mundane remains intact which honestly is getting a bit blurry from these last decades." Mason said as he thought back to all the paranormal and extraterrestrial incidents. "Regardless in the end I'm here to bring an end to his killing spree."

I nod. "Well good luck to you." I climb back up the stairs and take a seat at the top. I stretch and look down at you, head tilted. "I would help but I'm not sure what I would do. Plus," I plop down into a resting position and yawn, "I'm tired. Though if I can be of any assistance let me know."
