► 1. what fresh hell is this? [ Kougaiji isn't freaked out so much as he's... pissed off. But what else is new.
His hand settles on something as he's trying to pick himself up, and he immediately draws it back when he sees that it's a dismembered hand. ... Though, upon closer examination, it's also attached to a board. And it isn't real. And there are others like it, strewn around, including some more... questionable ones. What the fuck.
He finally stands, kicks the hand-on-the-board across the dirt as he begins walking. He's not going to get any answers lying around, and his first order of business is to find someone who can explain to him what the hell this is, and why he's here.
And so help him, if he finds out his friends are in danger, he is so ready for a fight... ]
► 2. dear god what is that thing? (deathclaws) [ Kougaiji has never seen anything like these creatures, but he isn't afraid. He's sure he's handled worse. Still, they're tough, and he knows better than to go picking fights when he's still unsure of his surroundings. So, for now, he'll play dodge-em.
Maybe this is how you find him - you're about to round a corner, and he puts out an arm, silently trying to stop you while jerking his head toward the thing, just within sight but, thankfully, not taking notice of you or him. Yet. But don't get it wrong! He's not here to save your damn life! He just doesn't particularly want to witness some stupid, unnecessary death because you happened to not be paying attention. Tch.
Or, maybe you run into him once he has been spotted... There's one rushing him now, but he doesn't panic. He has claws too, obviously, but they're not as long as those claws, and he's not going to hedge his bets on claw vs. claw just yet. Instead, he readies a powerful fire spell, hoping to sear through that thick skin and provide some sort of opening for him - or whoever else is nearby - to take advantage of. At the very least, while it's reeling from the impact, he has the chance to get out of its line of sight, and he can ready another spell.
Hopefully this won't be a long fight. He has better shit to do. He still wants answers, damn it. ]
