OOC: I realized I was slightly behind

IN:
"Hey you're up for recruitment right?",

"No I'm not", he replied, the recruiter looked at him with a strange expression.

"Then what are you here for? Their guardian?",

"Nope, if they gave you a list of mercenaries, Shen should be in there somewhere", the recruiter didn't say a word, and just checked the list. Well, he had to shuffle through the recruitment papers for a bit first, but once he got the list, a pause transpired with Shen being proven correct.

"I apologize, as long as you keep up with our unit, you'll get your pay at the end, do whatever you wish to do", he said.

"Just don't cause any trouble, it'll affect how much you're paid", he quickly added before Shen was able to turn back to his group. Well they were having a quarrel with some of the veterans... And Landen seemed to be finishing the work on them, but already they began walking up to the recruitment desk.

"Hey! You a new recruit too?",

"Hehe, you think that fancy clothing would get ya in?", and after that comment, which Shen admits wasn't so funny, the small group of soldiers laughed. Maybe he'll have some fun... Those spears they wielded, were only training spears and were easily made...

"I'd like to see you say something after this man in fancy clothing finishes with you all",

"what? the recruit's picking a fight? heh, well these are only training spears, c'mon I'll go easy on ya", he said, pointing his spear, or rather training spear in his direction. With a fluid motion of his sword arm, and all happening with a split second. He drew his sword, cut all the spears, then sheathed it again. The spears then slowly, but surely slid across, then fell to the ground.

"w-w-what the...",

"I'm a mercenary, not a recruit, and I thought a disciplined soldier should know better than to make fun, but I guess I was wrong", he said, walking off.

"Man... first a smart-ass recruit, now this guy... People nowadays", said one of the surprised soldiers.

"You four! Get back to work NOW!", yelled the commander from a distance.

Seth-Raine looked at his 2 friends. "I wonder how they do this?" He asked curiously. "Seth-Raine Darou? Seth-Raine Darou!!!" A voice called out. He turned to his friends and brushed his long white hair behind him and gave his friends a thumbs up. Telling them he'd be ok.

"Seth-Raine Darou reporting!" He said firmly with a bright smile. "Hey kid. Gimme your info." the man said. He was a middle aged man with bright blue hair and darker skin.
"Uh...What?" Seth-Raine was a bit confused. "Class, any expertise, any medical training?"
The man asked. "Hah! Im an assassin with a major in poisons!" He said sprightly.
The man looked up at him. "Right...Assassin? Go behind that door." The man pointed to a small wooden door. Seth-Raine turned and gave his friends some thumbs up and walked out. He came into a small crowd of people. He pushed his way around. Keeping the book incredibly close to him the whole time.

He came to the front of the line and could see 2 people sparring with incredible speed. Just like his. He smiled and became excited. THey were both well dressed. He was rather rag-tag but didn't care. He was grinning from ear to ear.

[Exaltations]

Blinking, Noir found herself upset when Seth-Raine left them, she realized she'd be separated from the people she felt comfortable with, this caused her something close to agonizing pain. She didn't want to have been left alone.

She heard someone call out her name and stood rigid for a moment before the went to the man who called for her, she basically did the same thing Seth-Raine had done, only that she was a mage without any specific expertise. She was directed to another room, which she entered with her head hung low, avoiding eye-contact with others. She wouldn't bother training or practicing, she could never see herself doing something, she just wanted to stay sort of... hidden, as if she was invisible to this group of people.

She felt more alone then ever, and she couldn't remember the last time being in a room with so many other mages.

Landen watched seth-raine go. He knew his friend would be fine. then he watched noir be called. Hecalled out "Good Luck!" to her before she disappeared into her room. He wondered how she would do.

"Landen Bellanes!" was called out next and he hurried over. Landen had been in the army once before so he knew what to do. "Landen reporting for duty sir." he said with a huge smile. "Well arent you happy...whats your info?" the guy asked. "Berzerker with lightning abilitys, no specific expertise." landen said. The guy looked at him and said "ok you go to that door." The man pointed to a door a few doors away from the one seth-raine had entered.

Landen walked in and could see the room had a bunch of other large guys there. Landen knew he was going to have to prove his worth with a few fights. The others in the room were a rowdy bunch and landen felt like he fit in perfectly. Joking with random people in the room as he checked out his competition and watched the other fights occur. He could see a few other people with axe's, some with gigantic swords, others with maces. Most people had some sort of armor though few had quite a nice set of armor as his. This surprised him. Landen hadnt expected to be one of the better prepared ones in the room.

Taking a seat in a corner he opted to wait until someone challenged him. He sat there for about twenty minutes. He began to wonder how his friends were doing. Finaly he heard someone call out a challenge. "Hey you in da' corner with da' big axe...why dont ya' take your chances?" a voice said to him. Landen looked and saw a guy just an inch or so shorter then him was speaking. The man a bit thicker then landen but he could tell the man wasnt all muscle some of him was fat. "Sure why not." landen finaly agreed after weighing his chances and standing up.

ooc: guessing we all have to be tested to be enlisted? Or are we just waiting in the rooms?

[ichijin]

OOC: My guy can just sit back... He was hired, not recruited D:

IN:
Alas, he wasn't allowed to fight the recruits. "You'd slaughter them", says one, "yea they're way under your league", says another. He didn't quite think so though, the group he was traveling with held plenty of promise. From what he saw, they could even surpass him in due time. The mage still needed more work though, she needed more confidence, since if you're confident, you can cast with more speed. But he was sure that they were able to surpass him. He may only be 25, but he's seen much. He didn't want to sit back, but that was all he could do.

OOC: Is it alright if I make another character?

Seth-Raine stepped forward and looked at them. There was one in red attire and one in green. The red was clearly winning. After a few moments he disarmed the green one and brought him to his knees with a paralysis technique. Seth-Raine was amazed.

A few people dragged the green guy away. "The winner! Kara!" Another man said. "Who will take on our reigning champion!?" He continued.

A bunch of people were trading money on this. Many people groaned.

"I WILL!" Seth-Raine stepped forward. A bunch of people stared and looked at Kara. Kara nodded as Seth-Raine stepped forward. "Whats your name kid?" The "ref" asked. "Seth-Raine Darou!" He said sprightly. "AND THIS IS SETH-RAINE!! THE CHALLENGER!"
The crowed cheered. "Alright! Lets get it on." The ref stepped back. Seth-Raine tucked his book away and drew his Katana. The man called Kara looked at him. His big black eyes glaring at him deeply.

Seth-Raine grinned and took a single step and rushed at him. The man blocked and kicked Seth-Raine in the stomach hard. He rolled back and brought his blade up to block. The man twisted it and brought it down. Seth-Raine felt a sharp pain. He winced and put his hand on his face. Blood. He looked up and frowned. "Were comrades! You shouldn't do this!" He said. "You knew what you were doing when you stepped in here kid." Kara said as he lept back. Seth-Raine rose to his feet. "Looks like this is just gonna be a blood brawl." Seth-Raine said. In the blink of an eye he disappeared with incredible speed. He swung his blade down at his enemy heavily. The enemy barely blocked it. Seth-Raine spun around and brought it to his stomach and sliced horizontally. Cutting his stomach. The man lept back. Seth-Raine didn't let up for a second! He began swinging his blade wildly with a hate for his enemy. His blade smashing into his enemies blade. The blade cracked. Not Seth-Raine's. Karas did. The crowd gasped as Seth-Raine sliced Kara at the knee and brought him down. Seth-Raine jabbed the hilt of the blade into the mans head and knocked him down. The man winced and rolled over as Seth-Raine brought his blade down. Kara rolled and sliced as his ankles. He got Seth-Raine cleanly. Seth-Raine winced and lept back onto one foot. Kara stood up and looked at his enemy. "What a tenacious little bastard you are." Kara said as he brought out his blade. Seth-Raine grinned. "Yeah...Im a good one aren't I? This ain't nothing but a good ol'fashioned blood brawl!" Seth-Raine said as he flipped across the field. Almost as if he were do acrobatics and swung his blade methodically. Kara struggled to keep up as he blocked slowly. Seth-Raine rolled to his feet and cut the top of the wrist. Kara winced and dropped his blade. Seth-Raine caught it and brought it to Karas throat. The whole time the crowd was cheering. But now. It was silent. Seth-Raine won. The "ref" stepped forward. "The...The winner is...Seth-Raine "Blood brawl" Darou!" Ref said as he brought Seth-Raines hand into the air. He grinned and looked around. "YEAH! I DID IT!!" He jumped up and down happily.
He looked at Kara who was on his knees. He helped him up. "Hey...That was a great fight!" Seth-Raine said. "Yeah...It was...Good job kid." Kara said as he walked away.

Seth-Raine chuckled and looked around. He walked through the crowd of people and found a group of people standing in front of a barrack. He stood in line with his new scars and all. Waiting for the place he would be assigned. He was very happy right now.

[Naomi]

Landen had stepped up to fight the guy who had called him out. The man he was about to fight carried a gigantic sword. This should be fun... landen thought.

He pulled out his axe and a ref stepped up. "You sure you want to do this? That guy has been kicking people left and right today..." the ref said.

"Ofcoarse I do or I wouldnt have stepped up moron" Landen said as he got into an attack position. His enemy did the same. The two began to circle around the fighting area.

"Whats your name?" the ref asked. "Landed bellanes" came his responce. The ref smiled and said. "Landen Bellanes verses Ruth Tygori!!!" The other berzerker recruits began to hoot an hollar. Like said they were a rowdy bunch.

As the ref stepped back and the fight began there was an almost instant sound of metal clanking together. They both had rushed one another weapons swinging. Both were wearing armor and neither tried to block. Landen was hit in the side by the mans blow but it did little but make him stagger. His own blow had come crashing down on the guys shoulder. There was a decent dent in the guys shoulder plate and the audience gasped for a moment. Landens armor was hardly scratched, but there was a reason for this.

Landens hometown specialized in the making of mithrial armor. Mitheral armor was renowned for its thinkness and ability to take immense hits. It was also extremely durable. But this came with a price and it was also expensive. Landen had paid quite a bit for his.

The man Ruth, now seeing what he was up against, made the next move. The two came to blows again. This time ruth gaurded himself and the sound of weapons hitting was heard. The fight continued in this manner for a few minutes. Weapons clashing and the ringing of steel. "Is that the best you can do blubber ball?" landen teased after a moment. This obviously pissed ruth off for he came headlong at landen who dodged and brought his axe down in the guys back. Landen decided he had enough of the fight though and charged his axe with a lightning zap in his final move. When the axe hit the mans back the wasnt just a clink and the sound of metal cracking. The guy ruth screamed for a moment as he was stunned. The ref came forward and announced him the winner. The unruly group of new berzerkers hollered out and cheered. A new winner was something to praised in their eyes. The rowdy guys usually got bored if one man continued to win for a while.

After that landen had one other cocky man approch him for a fight. The guy lost miserably and landen then walked off to the barracks. He had passed his testing.

He was directed to a line outside the baracks. Glancing around he could see seth-raine in another line. "Yo! SETH! buddy how was your day!" landen called out but stayed in his line.

[GenjutsuGaara]

"Heeey! Landen!" Seth-Raine stepped out of line. A bunch of the other assassins patted him on the back. "Hey ya big lummox! My day was great! Looks like you got into a scuffle there man!" Seth said as he punched the armor jokingly. He danced around jokingly taking a few shots. "You waiting too get assigned to a barracks too? Hopefully we'll be paired off!" Seth-Raine said with a bright smile.

He looked over at his line. "Heeey! Blood Brawl! Lets go! Your up!" "Come on Blood! Lets see where yer placed!" The other assassins hollered. "I'll be back in a sec!" He said. He ran up to the recruiter. He looked at his paper. "BARRACK 46B!! COME ON!! YEEEAH!" The group of assassins cheered loudly as he jumped by. He snagged his book and came over to Landen. "Lets see where your bunked!" He said excitedly.

[Naomi]

Landen smiled at seth-raine. "Blood brawl huh? Guessing you had fun...and yea I had a scuffle but it was nothing...like I said everyone here are pansy's." at that moment seth-raine ran off to get his barrack number. Then he came back. "I hope we get paired off together too...It would be realy nice if we got placed in a group and got our new friends with us too..." landen said as he waited anxiously for his name to be called.

After a moment one of the guys from group of berkerkers walked up. "Hey there landen...or how about lightning landen huh? Cant believe you took out old ruth...we've been going at him for days...good job." and with that the guy slapped him on the back an walked off. Landen laughed. First time he had ever had a nickname.

"This is hilarious...Blood brawl and lightning landen...we sound like heros or something...give it long an we'll be the talk of the town..." with that landen laughed for a second then heard his name called. Jumping up and saying "Be right back!" he ran to the desk. After grabbing his paper he read 46b and yelled "ALRIGHT!!!". running back over to seth he said "Looks like we're in it together for the long run seth." Landen grinned punching his buddy in the shoulder, not really a full on swing but you know what I mean.

"Now I just wonder how noir and the others are doing..." he said after a moment. It didnt take much for landen to consider people friends. It did however take a long time for him to gain a level of trust with them like he had with seth-raine.

[Exaltations]

Noir felt awkward where she was, she wanted her friends, badly. Once she ended up finding out where she was bunked, she went out to look for Landen and Seth-Raine, she felt a lump in her throat, she was so upset, she'd be separated from them because she was a girl. When she found them, mainly thanks to Landen's size and Seth-Raine's light hair, her eyes welled up with tears.

She ran to them and practically tackled into Seth-Raine, hugging him. "I don't want to be separtated from you two..." She said sadly, her white eyes watery. "What if I don't see you again? I like both of you, you make me feel less... creepy..."
This completely sucked, considering Berserkers and Assasins were more close-range, she wouldn't even see them in battle because she'd be casting from a distance.

Some fighter she was, almost crying while hugging someone she'd just recently met. She would have hugged Landen but his armor was clunky and all, and not very hug-able.
The other mages had even given her a cheap nickname and for some reason it made her even more sad, she couldn't even remember what it was, but it had to do with her eyes, like always.
