Red waves at him. >Codexes waves back, "Hey Red." >Red walks away from the stove while Crawfish leaps from the kitchen island and quickly takes Red's place, landing on top of the stirring spoon and continuing to stir the pot. >How is he able to stir the pot like that? >Then again, "Legendary" Crawfish. >For Codexes, Crawfish may be living up to his title. >Red walks up to Codexes and the two of them make a quick hug, "What's up?" >Codexes breaks the hug and shows the wanted flyer to Red. >Red narrows his eyes, skimming through the sheet of paper. >He raises his eyebrow after reading and looks up at Codexes. >"A monster hunt?" Red asks. >Codexes nods, "And the reward is pretty big if we capture it." >"With that kind of money, we could keep this place together for the next... maybe four to five months?" Red calculated. >"Sounds reasonable." Codexes responded, "And I want to ask if you want to tag along?" >Red blinks at Codexes in surprise, "Join you in looking for this thing?" >"Yeah. Jello, Lazer, and Pinkie are coming." >Red rubs his chin, "Uh huh." >He looks back at Crawfish, who is still swaying back and forth on the stirring utensil. >"Crawfish?" Red calls out. >Crawfish slowly stops stirring and looks at Red. >"Think you can hold the fort here?" Red gently asks to Crawfish. >Crawfish stands on the stirring spoon and salutes to Red, acknowledging Red's command. >Red looks back at Codexes, "Sure, I'll go with you guys." > - Red Sketch has joined the team! - >...   https://youtu.be/WGylrGZPuWQ >Codexes walks back to the living room and he sees Vex, Deep Rest, and Derpy there. >Vex and Rest are playing a co-op video game while Derpy is scrolling through music she wants to play on the jukebox. >Codexes walks up to the three and waves at them, "Hey guys." >Vex pauses the game and he, Rest, and Derpy look at Codexes. >"Hey Codex." Vex said. >"Hey Codexes!" Rest happily said. >"Hey there, Cody." Derpy said. >Codexes smiles at them and Rest waves at him, "What's up?" she asks. >He then shows the wanted flyer to the three. >"Read th-" The flyer is swiped by Derpy and she hovers in the air while reading closely at it. >"Derpy, at least let us see it!" Rest said. >"Yeah, can't read from that height," Vex blinks at Derpy, "and I'm not in the mood to stand up right now." >Derpy hovers between Vex and Rest and the three of them read the flyer together. >While they are reading it, Vex raises his brow, Rest's eyes widen, and Derpy has a questioned look on her face. >When they are done reading, Derpy gives back the flyer to Codexes. >"So what do you guys think?" >"About this monster?" Vex said. >Rest puts her hoof on Vex's shoulder and chuckles, "No, the award! That kind of money could keep us sustained here in the Manor for a long run!" >Derpy puts her hoof on her chin and begins to think. >For Codexes, it sounded taboo. >"Obviously you're not going to hunt for it alone, right Codex?" Rest asks. >Codexes shakes his head, "I'm going with Jello, Lazer, Pinkie, and Red." >"Well if you guys are going," Rest stands up from the beanie seat, "Then I'll go with you guys. I'd hate to see you guys all bent up." >Vex also stands up and stretches himself out from sitting on that seat, "Well, if Rest is going, then I'll go. Not just because she's going, but I would also hate seeing you guys get hurt." >Derpy continues to think, "Uh..." >Vex then shrugs, "I might not do much for you guys, but I'll be moral support I guess." >Rest shakes her head, "We'll help you guys if you're all down and out." >Codexes nods at Vex and Rest. >"So wait..." Derpy points at the flyer and Codexes raises his eyebrow at her. >Why did she have to think for so long? >"Is that supposed to be a dog?" She points and aims directly at the picture of the White-Scaled Basilisk, "That drawing doesn't really depict the monster well." >Codexes facehoofs. >"That's not what I'm asking for, Derpy. It's whether or not if you want to go with us." >"Go with you guys and see if they really got the picture down?" Derpy grins. >Codexes sighs. >"Because if so, then I'll go!" > - Vex and Rest have joined the team! - > - Derpy has joined the team!(?) - >...   >Codexes presses the intercom by the backyard shack door. >The intercom buzzes and a red light turns on. >"Who is it?" Awe asks. >"It's Codexes." >"What is it?" >"I need to show you something and I think you might be interested in it." >The intercom light turns off and you can hear some rustling inside the shack. >The windows closing, and elevator coming up and a metallic hoof raising up and down on the ground. >The shack door opens and Codexes sees Awe, serious and a little tired. >"What do you want to show me?" Awe asks again. >Codexes holds up the wanted flyer to Awe and he reads over it. >"White-Scaled Basilisk? And I'm going to guess you want to ask if I want to come along." >Codexes smiles and nods at him, "Think about it. We need the bits to pay for the Manor and we need to be out of this place for a while." >"Uh huh, you do know that most, if not all, of us are monster hunters, right?" >"I know, but hey, it never hurts to try something new." >"It would never hurt to try hunting for rare creature of a dangerous predatory race?" >Codexes sighs. >"Then again... rare. Tell me, since you're an archivist and what not, we have anything written about this 'White-Scaled Basilisk'?" >Codexes shakes his head, "None so far." >Awe strokes his chin with this cybernetic foreleg, "Hmm." >"What is it?" >"I'm actually curious what this basilisk can do because of their different abilities. And maybe it could give me some ideas for some cybernetic augments." >Codexes nods, "And if we capture it, not only we'll we get more bits, we could even history on the hunting books whatever. >Awe also nods, "True. That would be nice to see when we capture it." >He clears his throat, "That... and you're right about getting out more." > - Shock n' Awe has joined the team! - >...
