This was it. He recognized the Badlands' coastal town well enough. He had been here before, to cause chaos and destruction, nightmares in the minds of the residents. Jonathan wondered if there was anyone left from those amusing times, when Parks led unchallenged, when Sheogorath was an infamous prince, a prince he had brought to his knees. Oh how Jonathan savored that memory. It all came rushing back the moment he stepped out of the mountainous pass, and saw the seaside city down the grassy, tree covered hill below, where pearly sands once stained in his enemy's blood now touched peaceful ocean waters.

Jonathan's face was wrapped in passive stoicism, a firm neutrality that revealed nothing of the turmoil that flooded his twisted mind. His deep blue eyes reflected the world around him, soul piercing and intense as charcoal pupils scanned peaceful surroundings. Birdsong filled the afternoon air, the scent of salt drifting toward him upon the coastal breeze. Jonathan didn't stop at the border. Perhaps he should have, but confidence had always been both his blessing, and his curse. With dark boots crunching through the gritty soil underfoot, the dark haired man continued onward toward the seaside town. He wouldn't stop until he was made to.

Overall, he looked quite normal, though he was far from it. He wore a large backpack, which held his costume and supplies, and upon his back was a scythe, polished and sharpened by passionate hands. The blade glinted over his right shoulder, but it wasn't his only weapon. Sheathed at his hips were several blades, from small knives to large daggers. His loose fitting white shirt failed to conceal the weaponry, but Jonathan didn't mind. He liked it when other people thought he was dangerous. On his left shoulder sat a dark feathered bird, tethered by a small, custom made leash that wrapped the little beast's leg. It was a crow, with beady eyes that seemed to dart about the world curiously. For the most part, Jonathan was ignoring the creature. At least in that moment, when his focus was on other things. He could shower Icky with affection later. He and the crow had had a long and tiring trip.

Jonathan paused beneath a looming tree, it's cool shade falling across his pale skinned frame. For a moment, he merely rested there, taking in the view, and restoring his breath. His legs ached beneath him, but still he carried on. The former leader of Flintlock Lodge was no stranger to hardship. Holding back a yawn, for he had journeyed through the night, Jonathan began to move once more, continuing down the slope toward the coastal town, and while his features were stoic, his stride oozed confidence.

Walking straight into the wolves den like he wasn't coated in wool like any other sheep; a bold choice, almost impressively so. Strangers at the border were mainly left alone, or dealt with in a diplomatic manner; Salem couldn't expect his members to leave anybody who decided to wander too far past the hills alone, however.

But nobody had stopped the man- yet. Perhaps out of wary fear, perhaps out of excitement to witness him come across somebody truly horrifying - decapitated bodies left in the woods; women covered in blood after eating a deer carcass raw; wandering drug addicts drunk on violence; all somehow occurring in the area within recent memory - but Salem? Salem wasn't that horrifying. He might be ruthless, he might've killed many without question, and he might feel no regret for any of his terrible actions, but he was perhaps one of the friendliest faces Crow could've come across.

"What brings you to the Badlands, friend? You look like you're on a mission," Salem questioned in a friendly, welcoming manner. He stood at the bottom of the slope, not wanting to go through the effort of further hurting his bad leg when his quarry was headed towards him anyways.

In the distance, Jonathan saw him through the trees, down the grassy slope, at the edge of the coastal town that awaited his chilling presence. The other fellow looked friendly enough, hardly a threat, hardly a leader, but Jonathan knew better than to make bold assumptions without even getting vital information first. Curiosity ignited his cold vision, even as his expression remained rooted firmly in neutrality, lips forming a firm line across his face.

Finally, they were close enough to speak. The other person piped up first, such a friendly enough welcome, but Jonathan could do that too, and he was snake. Who was to say this cheerful individual was not as well? Jonathan stopped a few feet away, his soul cutting, glacial vision raking across Salem's form with a calculating glimmer. Jonathan finally managed to will a smirk across his own maw, a twitch of his lips before they formed an upward curve. The expression felt so odd upon his features, after so many days of frowning.

Jonathan considered his response as carefully as he could, without wasting time or breath in the process. The cogs and gears of his mind were twirling, his twisted thoughts dancing across his vision as he plucked the correct words from the depths of his brain, and spun them into life with a clever twist of his own tongue. He too sounded friendly, perhaps charming, in a way. His own voice wasn't exactly cheerful, rather it had a professional ring about it, and Jonathan maintained his small smile as he began.

"Doctor Jonathan Crow." A man that was so typically of such few words, saying his full name and self proclaimed title was almost a bit of a shock to his system, and even more so was the fact that he went on to continue, "And this is Icky." He gestured with a finger toward the sleek feathered crow tethered to his shoulder. Finally, down to the meat of the situation, the crux of his being here, "I've come to join." Jonathan finished, once more forcing a friendliness into his bold tone. It sounded so foreign to him despite it being his own voice. After days of only bland mumbling to Icky, it was a wonder his vocal chords still worked at all.

The friendliness in the man's voice set off alarm bells in Salem's mind. Part of him craved it, desperate for positive interactions, but he steeled himself against that very golden-retriever type feeling and went with his gut feeling that something was off about the man before him.

...But he said he was a doctor, and they so desperately needed one of those.

"Nice to meet you both then, I'm Salem and I'd be happy to have you both in the Badlands," He did not say the convenient joke that Doctor Jonathan Crow had a pet crow, he did not say it; it was too easy, and liable to upset the person before him.

"So, you're a doctor? You're not one of those shits who claims a doctorate makes them a doctor, right?" Salem questioned, gesturing for Crow to follow him towards the city proper.
