ACTION ♚ WHEN PAPA ARGENT MET UNCLE BADTOUCH, doo doo doo doo
he also takes his mossberg and desert eagle when he drives the van out to the edge of the forest.
the other hunters know exactly where he is; they're on speed-dial in case anything happens, even though they'd be too late if it came to that. chris isn't chalking this ghost meeting up to an emergency just yet, and he's almost certain he won't need to, not if the alpha's response is anything to go by. it might be a stupid move, but if he can wrangle a conversation—a face—out of this, then he'll have accomplished what he set out to do. know thy enemy.
so he starts in to where he'd left his first note, shotgun at his side. his scent, leather and gunpowder, should be the only introduction he needs. ]
ACTION ♚ ... h e l p now i am imagining the brady theme around these two marrying idek
Don't they teach hunters manners anymore?
[ shifting makes it easy to perch high up, out of line of sight but close enough his growl is easy to hear. ]
ACTION ♚ um FUND IT i would actually watch the crap out of that.
his fingers tighten on the mossberg, but he doesn't raise it, just flicks his eyes around him to pinpoint the source of the nearly subvocal greeting. ]
I'd say this is the most polite encounter you've had so far.
[ his voice is low, deep, steady, but there's no mistaking the tenseness to his posture—feet planted firmly, shoulders taut. it's near-pitch dark and he can't see by the light of the moon, or by the white of the creeping fog, but he's still aware, like any good hunter should be. patient and calm. for the most part. ]
ACTION ♚ this is the stoooooory of a batshit werewoooooolf
Yes, that would be sarcasm rearing its head again.
[ he inhales, deeply, then holds still as possible, rolling the scents over his tongue and learning them all. stupid or not, this hunter is on his radar now, and he wants to know every little detail of the pieces that make up his scent, know where he's been and smell him coming. ]
Was there something you wanted? [ it unnerves most of the hunters peter's met to make conversation with a wolf, but this one doesn't budge or start screaming dramatically about animals. it doesn't mean much, but at least it breaks the self-righteous monotony. ]
ACTION ♚ who was creeping on the jailbait he'd just turned!
You can see me, but I can't see you. That's no way to treat a guest.
[ show yourself is the unspoken request, infused with a little more of that sahara-dry argent sarcasm. it's not an answer to the alpha's question, but it's not an evasion, either. his eyes narrow, but now he's got them straight ahead; if this wolf doesn't want himself found in the dark in his own damn territory, there's no point in looking. they'll speak when chris has something to focus on. ]
ACTION ♚ ...HELP I CAN'T STOP GIGGLING
[ he jumps down, darting four feet away, then once again, and again, until he's behind a larger tree until he decides whether it's worth it to see what the hunter wants. ]
I could do the same, you know. Slip into your living room one night with a gun and see how much you feel like talking peacefully.
ACTION ♚ RIGHT?
it's thrilling. ]
You wouldn't need a gun. [ that retort is a little harder than the rest, but still infuriatingly steady. a muscle clenches in his jaw. ]
Those murders. [ because that's what they are. ] They're not random, are they.
ACTION ♚ ftr there's more of them on a03 now EXPAND, LITTLE TAG! EXPAND! (...that's what she said.
[ he smells that acrid tang of excitement, not hardly unaware of the danger he's in but drawn to it all the same.
hunters. self-righteous adrenaline junkies, the lot of them. ]
Those acts of retribution. [ he mocks argent's tone. ] They're not your concern, not yet.
ACTION ♚ sob y e s i will read ALL OF IT. also i have been browsing them on tumblr. it's bad.
They're very much my [ our ] concern. Especially if they're revenge killings.
[ thanks for that little tidbit, by the way. acts of retribution. now he has a motive—with no context, no discovered link, but that just means he'll have to dig a little deeper. maybe kate'll know something about it. ]
ACTION ♚ MORE PLZ TUMBLR their dumb faces /chinhands
Revenge is petty. I said retribution, which is an entirely different animal.
[ peter hale's in the hospital, burned and comatose. it makes this a little less dangerous, makes him a little more willing to even talk to the hunger at all.
...maybe they'll even think it's derek. ] Hunters. Always so black and white.
