New Cats in Town

Dante spins around and is walking away as the man is looking to the mess he made of himself then to the two guards in the car with him. "Inform Calypso he is hostile with this type of approach." he looks to himself and around "Call up a company and get us a new car and have this one towed."

She resumes walking next to him looking and can see he is honestly upset as he calms. "I know I might not have agreed or liked some of them. However I don't tolerate disrespecting those that make lives here possible for the rest. Plus I really hate wallets like that."

She nods her head and smiles as they continue. "Master, thank you." he looks to her and she nods to him "They may not have been the best people but you still defend their memory." he reaches out and puts a hand on her side "I am thankful to serve you."

They reach the gate and see the wall even looks different as he blinks shocked. Seeing Xin he waves as she smiles motioning him over. "You were supposed to be back hours ago Dante." he waves a hand as he sighs and she nods "Something happened I guess. Come inside and I will lead you to the rest. We got some information today you should hear too."

Carter looks over seeing him and waves with a smile. "I heard you were supposed to be here hours ago. What happened to slow you down since I hear you were with a higher group?"

Dante looks up and smiles as he nods. "Leviathan attacked and changed our plans. Separation, death, and suffering later I met with those I brought back. I also made some new friends while out and learned how deadly water animals are."

She speaks up now as everyone faces them. "I am a former member of Bone Breakers." she motions towards Dante "I now serve Dante as he deems fit." Dante opens his mouth but not fast enough as he just shuts it cursing silently "Monica and I are who he could save as most died while he was apart from us."

Carter sighs and looks to her. "I guess we will get the recordings from your suit so we can better understand what happened."

She shakes her head. "Unfortunately my suit was destroyed and to try and save Monica hers was cast aside to apply medical attention." she sighs "Maybe something could be found but most of those creatures can digest the metal in the suits so doubtful we can recover anything."

Carter nods as it is well known how caustic the stomachs of aquatic species are. "I am sorry for your loss but why do you serve Dante now?" Dante asks to skip this and instead is interested in why Carter was here "Ah yes, well after the investigation it seems the Principal is the one who sold your information but we can't find him anywhere." he sighs and shakes his head "I am sorry but he likely used who paid him to escape from the city and go elsewhere."

Dante thinks and nods his head as he looks up. "Thanks for letting us know Carter and about that concern we had before. The genetic code they have won't match mine." as Carter looks to him "The tech has altered my genetic code after all and that scan was from when I was newborn. I was speaking with a friend of mine so we tested it out and found out I am still safe. However this is private so not for public domain or to be shared."

Carter exhales and smiles as he nods. "Honestly I am thankful for your tech right now." he walks up and pats his shoulder "As a teacher at the cause of this I have felt horrid." he waves to everyone as he starts to leave "This information will be revealed to the rest tomorrow but I wanted you to know first. Take care everyone and be safe in your hunts."

Dante looks to everyone and motions to her. "This is Diana, she is a new companion of ours her main task is to assist and help train us. Her knowledge of hunting techniques to new and existing animals is well worth paying attention to. Plus her tactics and skills are highly valuable. We will benefit from learning them."

She bows and smiles to everyone. "I am pleased to help you as I serve my Master." Dante just leaves his mouth shut as he has no escape path as everyone looks to him "I gave myself fully to him then he gave me my life back." He does wonder what the sky looks like outside of this damned hole!

Onya gets up and walks over and circles her like she is sizing up prey. "Is she another homewrecker Dante?" he laughs and looks to her as he smiles "Well she is all tucked into her suit one can't really know what she looks like. I thought she didn't have one?"

Dante looks to her and has to admit. She is a sharp one and smiles. "It is a backup she put on after she lost her main or did you want her naked with me?"

Onya stops and looks back to her now. "Okay I like you." she turns and heads back as she whines and now Ta is there as she runs to her "Thank you Dante!"

Diana looks to him and smiles. "She is a lot smaller than your new family members." he nods as everyone looks over and he smiles "Still so impressive to see them this close."

Dante reaches up and pets first one and then the other as he looks forward with a hand on them both. "These are the human, sort of human, parts of my family. They are not food but likely will try to spoil you so enjoy it if you want or come to me and let me know." he looks out now after some are laughing about what he said "Dusk is on my right and Twilight is on my left. They are siblings and beyond them are five others who have joined me."

None are moving and even Ta seems to be keeping herself just to her kitten not interacting as he shakes his head. Twilight looks around and starts walking up as she looks to Jasmine and lowers her head offering to let her touch her. Jasmine looks to him as he nods and reaches up softly petting her. "She is soft but still, just being near them is intense."

Dante smiles as Twilight starts to purr. "The required rank to hunt this is Upper rank two. I am not even in the class to get these hunts. Thankfully we could come to an agreement and they have joined my family."

People are now coming up and petting them as he smiles and nods as Dusk also goes forward helping split the burden from his sister. Dante can't help but smile and then looks over his shoulder seeing Edna waving. "You have new friends but is it just me or are your companions steadily getting bigger?" Dante says they actually shrank a lot as she blinks and laughs "Okay well the felines increased over the last one."

Dante looks forward and nods. "Want to move in?" she says yes but she can't as he nods "Was worth asking."

She wraps her arms around his sides and smiles looking past him at his family. "I understand but honestly I like being the place you sneak off too." he gets a smile as she moves to kiss his neck "Plus you are my sneak off to point too."

Ally comes up as she looks to her tablet. "Dante I was going over a few things and I think I found a solution to some of your costs. If you plant these trees and flowers as you desire you would be able to apply for an Environmental Benefit and in return your home will be paid a set amount of funds for the benefit offered."

Dante looks to her as she looks up and smiles seeing his lost expression. "Ally you will need to explain that one as I don't even really understand those." Dante is thankful Edna spoke up first as he wasn't sure where to even start.

Ally smiles nodding as she looks to Dante. "I will go over more tonight but to sum it up." she giggles to his joyful expression at that "The city will pay you for cleaning up the air quality. Between the membrane above the city to keep out various things and the reactive dome, air quality is always an issue. I feel you should be able to make enough to cover your basic utility bills, well at least for the water you will need to cycle to keep the waters fresh."

Dante claps his hands and grins. "I found this cool turtle, come on I want to show you it because I can't figure out what type it is." he jogs over to the lagoon and smiles as he puts a hand down and a bioluminescent turtle around meter in size starts to swim along "Isn't it cool?!"

"Master I know what that likely is." he looks to her and smiles "If I am right, they are from a city that was destroyed around five hundred years ago. They are called Bubble Turtles."

Now they all look to each other and back to her. "My family started off there and fled from the destruction. We still have some of the old books and it is in one of the beastry books. It is a recent addition to the natural world because it was created in that city to work on their water quality issues. Didn't work out, the water was too polluted so most died."

Everyone is silent as this was a bombshell. Edna looks to her and motions at the turtle swimming peacefully. "Are you telling me that animal is recently manmade?" as she nods she looks back "What does it eat?"

Diana smiles as she looks over. "They are herbivores and if you plant some small plants it should be just fine. By the size it is around young adult I think so should live a few hundred years still."
