Julian was on the prowl- though his desire for territory had translated itself into a need for money. In this strange new world, he knew it was only a matter of time before civilisation fell. When humans would become the animals they appeared as. Sure, various wars may have been postponed due to what has become a world crisis, but given a few years it would return- with a vengeance.
Julian knew this... and he wanted to be the one in charge when that happened. He had to start small first of course. The acquisition of territory, finance and eventually... he would become that one man. The boss... the gang leader... that one who answered to none.
Of course this was all far into the future. Once civilisation fell it would be easier. In the mean time he had to consign himself to sorting out the immediate needs. More money for one. With Hiro no longer involved in his activities, money had become a greater priority. He felt hungry, and hunting food as a feral animal was beginning to tire even to him, when before he embraced such a primal life. But until everyone was like him... it was exactly as it was. An isolated existence and simply survival without much else.
Oh how he wanted more...
He knocked onto the door of one of his old associates. A young teen boy opened it, his hair was black and he wore glasses. He seemed very much like any one of your typical nerds, though certainly tall for his age and enough so to be awkward.
"Hey Ricky-boy," said Julian with a wolfish grin.
"Oh- er hey Julian," said the boy a little nervously.
Julian could smell fear all over him, despite the teen being just a little taller. Muscle wise, Julian's body had far more and he knew he could take the kid down in a single punch. However now was not the time to fight. This one is going to be part of his pack after all. He smiled inspite of himself. "... Can I come in?"
Ricky yawned. The teenager went to school during the night, and during the day he usually slept. He was careful to avoid the sunlight, but always had questions about what it might be like there. The teenage boy let Julian inside a little worried.
Ricky had known Julian from a long time ago. He wasn't what one might call 'friends' with him exactly, and knew of his reputation. Under normal circumstances he would probably not talk to him... It was a situation where Rick wanted something... and only someone like Julian could provide it to him. For one thing, he had been exposed to the sunlight and had free-reign across the suburbs. It was a freedom he did kind of envy, but Ricky didn't want to risk going outside. He went to school, then practically ran back home as soon as he could. He had actually brought up the possibility of home schooling with his parents, or to use the internet to link up to the teachers in some way- though his parents felt he needed to be out and about, even if it could only happen at night.
"I got some good ones for you," grinned the wolf Julian. "All at my... standard rates of course."
The two sat down in the living room, and Julian rummaged into his worn back to bring out various photographs.
Ricky stared in awe at the pictures of all the transformed people. Julian had photographed various girls of different kinds. It didn't look like they were aware of being photographed.
"A hunter knows how to stalk its pray," he said smiling. "Okay- now these are all water marked, so don't spread them on the internet. I will know it was you... and buddy, you don't want that."
Ricky gulped. He wouldn't do such a thing anyway... these were for him alone. "O-okay. How much?"
"Standard photos like these... $25 each."
Ricky sighed and nodded taking out his wallet and fishing out a few bills. It was expensive, but he could just about afford a few of them.
"Oh- before you do that Ricky-boy.... you might want to see the... really good ones." Julian rummaged into his bag, and took out some other photos.
Ricky's jaw dropped as he stared at them. They were pictures of a naked devil girl. He could see her glossy red skin perfectly, and even a few shots of her tail. Her face framed by lovely hair, and curious horns. He felt himself blush a little going crimson himself. But it didn't stop there. Julian had another picture, of a devil woman with eight breasts, standing naked in surprise at a door. It looked Julian had taken the photo just as she opened the door.
"H-How..."
"She didn't see me," grinned the wolf. "Ah...and this one too."
Julian showed in various poses a picture of a naked Harpy with rather large breasts... and a six breasted cat-girl wearing the most curious intriguing set of bras. Her expression was the one though that caught Ricky's eye. She looked just so... he couldn't describe it. It also had a picture of a strange girl with funny looking antennas. Unfortunately she wasn't naked, but the shot did have a good view of her cleavage.
Julian continued to show all the 'high quality' photos of various transformations. To Ricky, some of them looked very nice.
"H-How much?" said Ricky. There was no question that he would pay anything for them.
"For which one?" Julian asked. He knew he got him now.
"A-All of them." There was no way he could choose. He loved them all. He just had to have them!
"Well lets see... these are unique pictures... I can't let them all go for anything less then $1000."
"What?!" Ricky groaned. He didn't have that much!
Julian tried his best not to smirk. "Or... we could always come to some other arrangement."
"Like what?" Ricky sighed. He didn't have much choice if he wanted these photos. He knew he wanted them. Especially the naked ones... there was no other way he would see any of this! He never had a girl friend, and well... it was normal for him to be curious about these pictures.
Julian glanced around. "I might need a place to crash now and then. I use your place and if anyone knocks, you saw nobody. Second, I want- oh lets see... that-" He pointed to Ricky's playstation 3. "-and all the games you got. I'll drop the price to $300"
"D-deal," said Ricky. He parted with all the cash he had. It really was everything... but it was worth it.
"All yours Ricky-boy," grinned Julian once more. He placed the playstation 3 into his bag, and stuffed it with the various games.
Ricky stared at the pictures but had a thought. "Julian? Do you think you could get a picture of a naked angel-girl too?" Ricky had to bite his lip. He saw one of them on the television before and all he could think of was to see her naked. He didn't listen to a word she said, just... just seeing such a heavenly body naked was all he could think of.
Julian thought about it. "Angels are tricky pray... they don't usually get naked. However if I happen to come across one... you'll be first on my list. For a fee, of course."
"I'll pay you anything you want," said Ricky earnestly.
"I know you will... I know..."
After this, Julian left, and Ricky had in his hand a bundle of all the pictures. Sweet sweet pictures of various girls, naked, semi-naked, or even just.. standing there. He rushed to his room... eager to enjoy each of them.
