"So yall needed money huh? Good enough reason...and thank for the compliment...you look strong yourself." landen said to shen and aer with a smile. When questioned about why he was here he thought about if for a moment before answering.

"Well its a long story but basicly I was discharged after throwing a fit and was told not to come back for a year. My years up so I came to re-enlist...Im alittle more sane now I guess...." Landen got a bit of an almost embarassed smile on his face. Laughing alittle he took another drink of his ale. To him his past was just a string of bad memories now, atleast he wished he could completly convince himself of that.

Most people wouldnt understand but landen had his reasons for going alittle nutz back when he first enlisted. He had only been seventeen and thrown into the front lines. Landen had never seen anyone killed before so the sight of the bloodshed initially shook him up. he still wasnt sure how he had survived those first few months. Then one of his best friends who he had made in his old barrack had been killed in battle, it devastated landen. A millitary officer had told the commander that he might need to let landen have a break from the front but the commander hadnt listened. Landen at the time was already big enough and strong enough to be destructive which is all the commander cared about. A month later landen recieved the letter that informed him of his parents death. That was when he had officially lost it. Landen went insane and actualy staged a singal handed attempt on his commanders life saying that it was his fault. That if the commander had let him go for a while he could have been home and saved his parents. Thankfully the other soldiers managed to stop him and get him into a cell until he calmed down. there were a few injurys though from the fight to restrain him. After that he was discharged and told not to return for atleast a year. Once out Landen had heard that his friend seth-raine was still around so he began talking to him again. Seth was probobly the only person who actualy knew what had happened to him.

After finishing the drink he had started landen began talking again. "An seth-raine here just wants to be a rebel! Go take out a few bad guys.." he said elbowing seth-raine in a joking manner." Noir I dont know why you wanted to join though..." ha added with a curious look her direction. He had just met noir who seemed awful shy to just want to jump up and join the army.

ooc: ok decided to flesh my character out alittle since I couldnt think of anything else to type about...XP

Kagaro opened up his pack taking out a black book with a strange symbol on the cover. It was about black magic, Kagaro was interested in the ways of the dark mage even if he couldn't wield most of the spells without risking his life. Even as a child he studied their ways of life and what they did throughout history. Dark mages were known for demon worshiping, both humans and mystics abandoned the way of god for the power of demons thus calling them dark mages.

"Hmm...." Kagaro muttered before closing the book. He looked north of the city to see nothing but a gloomy forest. The city may seem to be in a cheerful location but Kagaro new the history before this city came to be, it used to be a vast colony of outcast mystics and humans before it was turned into a mystic city. But that was all in the past making it pointless knowledge to most.

"I wonder what those people are doing now" Kagaro said walking up one of the eastern streets of the town square.

[GenjutsuGaara]

Seth-Raine smiled. Hardly saying a word. He listened to everyone else. He felt a little strange. He looked at the group. "Just a rebel eh?" He said with a smile and poked back. "Nice to meet you Aer." He greeted. He looked around and chose to sit in a chair. He leaned back.

"Yeah yeah...Me and Landen go way back." Seth-Raine said. "Since we were tykes at least. Haha." Seth-Raine laughed. He thought back. He remembered Aer so clearly. It kinda bothered him but didn't let it show. "Yeah. Im pretty up beat most of the time except for those rare moments. So are you here as a commander or a soldier?" Seth-Raine asked curiously.

Seth-Raine had some one pat him on the back. "He-hey "Blood Brawl"! Whats up man?" An older male assassin asked him. "Haha. Not too bad Typhus." He said. "What about you man?" Seth-Raine asked. "Not too bad. Just came back from a recon mission. Looks like the humans are hiding on the southern side of death peak. I guess some of the new teams are gonna go in and tryin flush'em out. So I guess you guess should stay on your toes eh?' Typhus said. "Yeah man! Thanks a ton." Seth-Raine said. Typhus nodded and walked away. "Looks like we might get sent in..Not even here a full day yet. I suppose we should head to the barracks and pick up our official gear huh?" He said as he looked up at landen and then Noir. He smiled at Noir brightly to re-assure her she'd be ok. "Lets get going.." He said.

[Exaltations]

"A-ah, I'm here because I have to be." She said as she looked up at Landen. She didn't want to share too much about herself, and she definitely couldn't say why she absolutely had to enlist, or bad things would happen, but she could say that much.
She let go of clinging to Landen, trying to calm herself down and feel more comfortable, she just wasn't used to many people.
And she definitely didn't want to have perverts hitting on her and groping her behind like they'd been doing.

"A-ah, alright... yeah... let's go..." She said when Seth-Raine mentioned they go. She smiled back to him, then leaned in and kissed his cheek. "Thank you." If he was smart enough he'd probably realize she was thanking him for er... being silently supportive, she was acting like such a child there, she really didn't fit in with the rest of the army and fighters. She started heading for the Barracks, but slowly while she waited for the others to follow.

[Naomi]

Landen smiled when seth-raine talked about how far they went back. He just nodded in agreement. Noir pulled away from his arm after a moment. It seemed like she was slowly gaining confidence. Landen was still wondering something though. She said she had to enlist...I wonder why...but he didnt ask it was her business not his.

Then seth-raine brought up the fact of getting their official gear. "Yea your right...I guess lets go..." and with that the group began to walk towards the barracks. Noir at the lead. Landen was smiling again. He figured he was a bit luckier then most soldiers. Since berzerkers were usually abnormally big people they were required to bring their own armor when enlisting. They were however required to repaint it to match their regiment. He had seen the armys standard armor and in all honesty what the regular soldiers got was junk. He could easily dent it in or crack it open with one hit.

Still it had to be a funny sight. While other guys were getting armor and weapons he would be getting paint and a copy of the regiments symbol. The thought made him laugh a bit. It was just like last time he enlisted...only this time he had friends going in with him.

"So we might get sent out already...either we are really lucky or were screwed..." he said a joking tone in his voice. It was typical of landen to mess around no matter what the situation was. He could make something funny out of anything.

[GenjutsuGaara]

Seth-Raine smiled as Noir kissed her. He knew what it was for. He thought. But he didn't care. He walked around with them. "Which one is ours?" He walked around until he came to one of the last ones. It was rather run down and crappy looking. "This is where we sleep, eat and do things?" He asked disappointed.

He opened the door. There were 6 beds. 3 on each side. He walked to one of the beds. He picked up a peice of paper.

Seth-Raine Darou.
Class: Assassin.

That was all it read. He lifted his Katana off and set it on the ground and put his new pure black t-shirt on with his new under-shirt. He sighed as he quickly slipped on his new pants. Everything was a bit baggier then he asked for. He sighed again. "How do I look? Bad right?" He said as he tied his mask around his face. His long white hair flowing down his body. He looked. Pockets! He slipped his book in and clipped it shut. He wouldn't have to use his arms to carry it. "Hehe...Maybe these aren't so bad." He said to himself. A man burst in. "46B your due for briefing!" He shouted to them and slammed the door.

Seth-Raine sighed. "Yay...."

[Exaltations]

Noir had originally assumed they'd be separated by gender, but now she realized she'd be sleeping near them, as well, kind of odd, but oh well. There weren't so many females around so it might have been a waste to really separate them, though she was sure lots of sex went on where girls were staying overnight in the same place as army guys. She sighed at the thought. She had Landen and Seth-Raine around so she didn't need to worry about someone pressuring her or anything.

She shrugged and figured she may aswell change. It wasn't that complicated, she slipped her robe off and already hand pants underneath it, she just needed to find the shirt she'd be wearing in combat. She completely ignored Seth-Raine and Landen's presence, she never considered the upper-body to be a sexual thing so she didn't see a problem with them seeing her in a bra.
Odd, considering she'd be blushing and stuttering if too much of something like her legs was revealed.
She pulled her black shirt on, and placed a small book in her pocket, the one that was vital for her to cast very powerful spells, even though they took forever for casting time.

"A-are we all set to go for briefing, then?" She asked, shaking slightly. She knew she'd be able to hold her ground in a fight but it still didn't keep her from worrying.
She looked up to both Seth-Raine and Landen, smiling softly.

[ichijin]

Both Shen and Aer were ready to fight. All the two had to do was sit through briefing, maybe get a few things prepared. Aer went to revise a bit on his newest spells, while eating some bread, while Shen on the other hand went off to eat more bread than Aer was. In fact they were more care-free than the rest of the mercenaries, who were pretty much, as if under pressure sharpening their weapons, cleaning their armor, and writing in new spells.

~~Shen~~
Girls were changing in their rooms and men were changing in their rooms. Shen on the other hand was sitting someplace else, eating his bread, though he admits, it didn't feel right for Seth to wear a mask. Though sent out on their first mission the day they were recruited... Well us older guys are around with the experience. Maybe he'll have to save their asses again. He hoped not, and was confident that they were able to take care of themselves. Only worry is Noir and Landen, but Landen's armor was not what you'd be able to buy in shops, all Noir needed was someone to hold the attackers off, and in the army, there's plenty. Though he did get the worry they she might be sexually harassed, not many women in the army.

~~Aer~~
Spell, "Tundra Tornado", his newest spell. He's tried it a few times a while ago already. It should be fine to use during battle now. Spells, "Air raid", "Ultra piercer", "Air implosion", and "Wind Expansion". Hmmm... First Air Raid would create some initial air for Ultra Piercer to be more effective, if he were to stop it's effect around the enemy, he can use Air Implosion to make the air there thicken, and cause a shock towards the vital organs, and after that, Wind Expansion to take the air away from them, making the air thinner and harder to breathe in. Not his favorite way of beating someone... He'd rather hit them with the "Invisible Hammer", now there's some comedy. Whack them unconscious. He is concerned about other mages, from what he's seen, all mages need confidence, and Noir lacks it, he has been concerned about many young mages. Sort of like a teacher... Teaching them confidence and such, if you don't have it your spells come out slower, and weaker. If you're not sure about it's effects, the spell will backfire or fail, regardless of the chant. Well, his bread's finished, he should go see if everyone's done yet.

[GenjutsuGaara]

Seth-Raine walked out with his 2 friends towards a larger building. The man who shouted at them earlier ushered them in quickly. There was an elderly man sitting at the table talking with a few older men.

"Ah. Our newbie team has arrived." One of the older men said. "Now now, we all have to start somewhere." The eldest looking said. The third man stood up. "Im not sure if you've heard. But a portion of the human army is st-" the man was interrupted. "Yeah yeah, Stationed on the southern side of Death Peak. What do we gotta do?" Seth-Raine interrupted. "Quite the impatient one hmm?" The man breifing them said. "Well. All you need to do is a recon mission and a bit of demolition." The briefing man said. "First you will approach the Death Peak side from our point, Which is the west. You will travel along the side of Death Peak and make your way down the mountain. There is a small forest which will offer protection. Then you, Seth-Raine, Will make your way down and search for any type of documents that may have some type of significance to us." The breifing man said. "Such as?" Seth-Raine asked impatiently. "Maps, Geograpgy, resource node maps. Anything you can find. Even their enlistment papers will do." The briefer said.

Seth-Raine looked at him a bit skeptically. "Well. I suppose we can do that." He said with a grin under his mask. "Leave my children and make ours and your people proud." The eldest said. "Yes sir!" Seth-Raine said as he walked away. "Come on guys! Lets go give these humans a run for their money!" Seth-Raine said excitedly. He ran out and looked at the large mountain which was quite a distance from them. "LETS GO!!" He said and bolted towards the mountain. Eager to prove his worth.

[Exaltations]

Noir couldn't stop grinning while she watched Seth-Raine, it was so amusing how impatient he was for everything, though she didn't understand just why he was impatient like that, she wasn't too thrilled to go get herself possibly in danger, she would have never been there if she had a choice.

She started into a run after Seth-Raine when he bolted off, pretty sure Landen would keep up too, though she was sort of having problems. "S-Seth, I can't keep up with this..." She said between pants. She'd probably fall behind soon, she was after all not one who needed to be fast, when you're casting spells you're standing in one spot, not running towards anything. She'd never be able to keep up with him, it was bad enough he was really fast, as an Assassin and all, but he was excited and packed with energy, too.
