Rory enters the suites. He starts walking about the area, asking pretty much anyone he meets where Isobel is, if he meets anyone.

Rory leaves the Barracks.

Rory nods and gives Hiroki a thumbs up. "Got it! Then let's get going, I seriously need to get something into my stomach before I consider swallowing one of you whole!" Rory speaks with a laugh but there's an underlying sense of seriousness to his tone that says he may have actually considered it at some point.

Rory claps his hands and points to Masako. "Very good, but I was talking to the person who knows the most about her out of the four of us. But keep that motor running, we'll need it after she tells us."

Rory nods. He adopts a thinking pose for a couple seconds before standing up straight with his hands on his hips. "Well, they don't call me a hunter for nothing! And I'm sure that with our investigative friend here we can quickly track her down and see if there's any grub. Now then, where are the main areas she could be?"

Rory went to clarify what he meant but, he decided it probably didn't matter much anyways. He leaned against a wall for a few moments before he sighed. "Hey, Hellfire Knight, you know where some food is around here? I just woke up when I got here and I don't like fighting on an empty stomach."

Rory shrugs at that statement. "Same reason you're here. Kind of. I guess. Well, probably not since me and the two over there weren't purposefully taken here to my knowledge. We're here to fight creatures called trespassers that are threatening the multiverse I guess. So uh... from what I'm getting I'm doing the same job, just on a different scale. I'm sure we could use someone who's a good investigator though, if you're sticking around for a bit. It'd be nice besides, you remind me of one of my old teammates."

Rory had to take a moment to process what Masako had meant. And then the smile dropped from his face for a second before reappearing. He had to remember that these people weren't from his world so they were just using the closest possible word that they knew. And given the wings she likely was a "Youkai" as she called him. So obviously she didn't mean any offense unless she was odder than her first thought, which would be unlikely. "First things first, I'm not a Youkai. Or at least I don't think I am, I don't know much about your world obviously. I'm a Faunus, it's a race that's very much like humans except we tend to have a physical trait of an animal and some heightened senses. I also don't fight Youkai... probably, since going off your features you're one and you don't seem very mindless or bent on destroying life as we know it. I'm what's called a hunter, essentially I hunt Grimm, and I'm specialized in hunting anomalous ones which are generally tougher, larger, and some are just flat out forces of nature on their own but those last ones are out of my league, for now. Anyway, my name is Rory."

Rory continues his stone faced expression for a few moment before he smiles. "Heh, better than my answer. So what kind of puzzles do you mean? The kind that ancient ruins inexplicably have in the movies and stuff?" Apparently Rory recovers from being pissed about getting stepped on quite fast.

Rory stares at Chichimura for a few seconds, no expression on his face. Of course, the lack of expression in this case expresses what he's thinking perfectly. Specifically, his main thought was "Is this bitch for real?". Other minor thoughts included "Fuck that hurt", "Man, I could go for some of those chicken skewers." and "She's kind of cute.". But after considering what to say he ends up with what comes out of his mouth. "Oh? Then this should be easy. Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Him saying that suddenly brought a rush of recollection back to him but he didn't kept it to himself as he tried pretty hard to suppress it.

Rory shoots the winged girl a dirty look before quickly picking himself up. He had to admit this felt a touch familiar, right down to getting blamed for something he didn't do, but he couldn't put a finger on it. He decided not to dwell on it right now as he turned to the new arrival. "I wasn't lying there. Someone happened to slam into me at sonic speeds and I got knocked off my feet, as tends to happen when that happens to someone unprepared.... Now then, what's your name little bird? An introduction is the least you can do after using me as a perch."

Rory was very much stunned by the occurrence that happened. If his aura had been drained he was pretty sure he'd be pretty much just a stain on the ground at this point. That said, his face was amusingly undeformed due to the righteous blow he had just suffered triggering his semblance in excess. He's still for a few moments, his rage visibly increasing before suddenly he takes a deep breath. Having calmed himself down just enough not to instantly plant a wrymstake in the newcomer he spoke quite loudly. "Lady, I know you're confused but if you don't get off in 5 seconds I'm shoving a lance where the sun don't shine."

Dagda steps up beside Stella with nod. "And if that's not enough for you, we're probably going to go fight whoever is causing this little incident. Even if we fail, that means that you all are going to have a little bit less to worry about, yeah?"

Rory nods. Those were both bigger than he was really expecting, but they also had full teams so it's not like it was that big of a deal. "Biggest on I killed was yesterday. An Ursa Major, bear looking grim about 2 stories tall and prone to getting really angry, that had been ripping apart fortifications and causing some problems for other hunters wandered into my neck of the woods. Gonna be honest, I probably should have asked for support from someone back at base because I ultimately was getting Mauled by it when I got a shot off on a big rock over it and by luck knocked it onto the Ursa. Still though, I got some good pelts and teeth from it so I can't be mad."

Rory nodded. He supposed combat androids wouldn't have much need to be around humans or in noncombat zones. And they probably wouldn't be around civilian droids either.... Still, he didn't really know how to continue the conversation at this point, but it didn't seem like there were many others to talk to... It's just then that an idea clicks in his head, of course he should turn the conversation to something he's overqualified for. "So you two are fighters yeah? What's the biggest thing you guys have taken down?"

Rory nodded. That's fair enough then. "Do they ever put together like, supply drops for your guys either? I'm not sure what you do for fun... Can you even have fun? Eh, whatever. But occasionally the other guys get like packages of stuff from their friends and family not on the new world, like candy and magazines and pictures and stuff, you ever get sent stuff like that?"

Aquila doesn't waste time, moving in to smash some more skulls in his revenge fueled rampage.

Rory leans against a wall as he listens to 6D speak. He didn't really have much interesting to contribute to the conversation right now... After a few seconds he realizes that he was wrong though. "So wait, how do you know that the humans are still around if only one person has ever seen them?"

Figuring he might as well join in Rory grabs his as of yet unused Gunlance and, after warning the girls to watch their heads, expands it to it's full size. "Rory, I also specialize in defense, specifically my semblance causes me to harden in response to physical trauma, which along with my shield and gunlance means I can take more punishment than most. Also I can do a good bit of damage either through unloading the shot in my lance or with my Wrymstake launcher."

Rory stared at the display before him for a moment. Then he closed his eyes and slowly brought his palm to his face. Internally he only repeated to himself "She's an idiot, don't blow up." until he finally recovered enough to just resume his more casual stance and not say something insulting.

Rory's look visibly softens. Then he glances away a bit awkwardly. He kind of felt bad for almost getting into a fight with a kid, even if it was a kid with a mech. Still, he quickly straightens up and puts his shield back before nodding. "So more of the same then. So tell me kid, what are we fighting here? Actually I don't even need to know what we're fighting, are we fighting anything big? Like, this big by this big." Rory gestures to about his shoulder level and then points out a line that's about ten feet long on the floor.

Vratislav didn't look up from his inspection of the pipe. "No idea, probably cut off via a device like the one we took here... If you aren't going to at least pretend to comply I advise we follow our man here, I have no idea what magics this computer watches us with but they likely didn't prepare these pipes with them."

Rory actively had to bite his tongue to avoid saying something a long the lines of "You couldn't annihilate a tree frog, bitch." After he calmed down, which was helped by the person backing up and lowering their cannon he finally let go of his gunlance. "Look, neither of us know how we got here. Hell, I don't even know what I did last night, I just remember hunting an Ursa Major and celebrating at the kitchen a little to much, you know what I mean? If I had any intention of sabotaging you I wouldn't have bothered with conversation."

They sight of some form of gun didn't do much for Rory's nerves either. Which is why he was quickly behind his shield with a hand on the handle of his Gunlance, not quite ready to pull it out. (Both because it was rather tight quarters and because he didn't want to shoot someone over a misunderstanding.) He's silent for a second before speaking. "Hey, why don't you put the gun down small fry. If either of us were here to cause a problem we wouldn't be stood in the hallway chatting would we?"

Rory nods. He doesn't say it, but internally he yells "Serves the fuckers right!". After a moment he chastises himself though and then speaks. "Ah, that sucks... So have you ever actually seen an alien then?"
