Perhaps slightly contentious and inhumane, Theodore Knope’s intentions were to amass a group of callous scourges to get a tricky job done for him before one could say knife. Sometimes, the prospect alone of hunting down one’s own species seemed barbaric, dehumanising even. But, it was a policy that all members of The Badlands were well aware of, so they willingly agreed to such treatment if they were to ever betray the group and try to flee. A bounty was on the head of several renegades, one in particular especially ruffling Teddy’s feathers after leaving with a bag of stolen Bones.
So, Teddy would incite feelings of resentment within the crowd, hoping that the injustices towards their patriotic group would disgust them as much as it disgusted Teddy. He wanted them ruthless. Next, he would attempt to bring out a fierce competitive streak within all willing competitors as he stood outside of the fighting ring, arms folded across his chest sternly. ❝ So, y’all heard about Harley and want to do somethin’ about it. ❞ He announced to the group of volunteers, features scrunching up with displeasure. ❝ He made off property of The Badlands. He fled, like a fucking coward, and I want him back. Whether it be alive or in a body bag, I don’t care; I want y’all to use ya tracking skills and bring him back ‘ere, okay? ❞
The proposition was simple, but not enticing enough. So Teddy had a plan. ❝ Either pair up with another person or fly solo and the person — or people — who brings him back to me gets to keep the Bones he stole. A gift from me. He shouldn’t be too far away so ya best get going! ❞ Using his hand to nonchalantly shoo the competitors away, he watched as Badlanders began to pick out their hunting partners in preparation for this bounty hunting competition Teddy had organised. A competition, more like a glorified search party. Whatever brought Harley back to The Badlands, Teddy supposed. He wasn’t finished with him, yet.
