Stocker rests by his camp, his slughounds, Howler and Ripper, are asleep near the fire. The bounty hunter turns his head towards the camera.

"A relationship only leads to problems," he huffs.

His eyes reflect the crackling fire, something he lost long ago.

"Some problems. I don't feel a need to have a relationship with anyone. But."

His hand slips into his vest's inner pocket and produces a small torn photograph. Within it, it is Stocker holding a small baby girl with short blue hair. The other adult's head, likely the mother, is covered by the rip.

(On wiki, it says slughounds are very vicious but quite loyla). So are Slughounds only really affectionate to their owner/s?

And how long does it take to train a slughound?

Stocker, the Game Master and Ivor 'the White Bear' Lewis all have cameras put to their faces.

Stocker snarls and pushes at the camera. "Get that thing out of my face. My slug hounds are none of your business. They're loyal to me and trained from puppies. That's all you're getting."

The Game Master is taking this in a more relaxed state. He's laying back on his chair whilst a slughound in a pink harness lays her head on his lap. "If you're really wanting to know more about slug hounds, then yes, they are only loyal to their owners and those they like. Isn't that right, Speckles? You wanna eat those Shane Gang cheaters?"

The slug hound on his lap barks with glee.

To Flame and Frost: What's your opinion on each other. And how long have you known each other?

To the gentleman: How you lose your eye, and/or how did you get your cyborg eye?

To Stocker: What's your opinion on Eli Shane now? (Also how much do you care for your Slughounds?)

The duo of Frost and Flame are having lunch in the Monarch Inn. Flame is yapping away as Frost sips from his cold coffee mug. Frost averts his gaze of his partner to look at the camera. "It's cool man... Flame is a cool dude. Though he sometimes needs to chill out sometimes. He can be a hot headed looney."

Flame didn't seem to hear anything from Frost but did hear the asker. "Yeah! Frost is sick partner! Him and I go way back. Used to visit the same cavern to train our slugs, dueled each other and found out we work like a dream!"

The Gentleman happens to also be enjoying his lunch at the Monarch Inn as well, sipping on a root beer float. "I did not lose my eye. However, it has begun to deteriorate with how often I use my visor. I do see a benefit from this over usage, it allows my eye to see far better in the dark if my visor is not longer viable."

On the far end of the dining area, Stocker is sharing his meal with his Slug Hounds. He glares at the camera. "That Shane boy is more than he lets on. I'll give it to him. He does have a brain between his ears at times. That stubbornness is a problem though."

And what do something or the mercs do in their free time on their chill days?

Frost takes those days to do some simple work, mainly dealing with their fiances and doing food shopping. Flame sleeps like a log on the couch. For their off days, Flame like running laps around the town if not playing on the game console he and Frost share. Both love a spot of gaming but really love Slugball. Huge fans of the Blade City Brutes. Shockwire will be doing his own thing, training, slinging, relaxing. But also loves to hang with Flame and Frost to watch Slugball matches too. He however is a fan of the Miners.

Andre actually is a part-time Slugball player (he was in the Blade City Brutes along with Sid the Kid and Waylon in the Slugball episode). So he does play when he's called on. Other times, he finds himself visiting the Monarch Inn to catch up with Quill (his ex-girlfriend he still has feelings for) and Gar. This is also where he (unfortunately for him) met Quill's new partner, the Gentleman.

And turning to the Gentleman, he uses his time off to reconnect with his brother and his slugs. Other days he goes on dates with his ex-employer's assistant (aka Quill).
