[15:52]  (): /me "I don't ask my contacts for nothin' no more. Got this shit here to do and I ain't got time to return favors right now." Brand grunted. Sticking a new cigar in his ugly mug, he'd wave at the MSG. "Yeh."

[15:53]  (Kathy): /me paces up the stairs and lithely moves out of the way. "Morning everyone." She offers politely, mismatched gaze playing curiously over those present

[15:53]  (Liz): /me smiles and waves to Scythe "Das vadanya." She looks to Brand. "Dimitro owed me favour... I helped him flee when the Baranovs came after us, we fled Tsarograd in my snowcat. We argued a while over who owed who the beeger favour, but after much vodka we decided that because I drive, and he just gun, he owes me slighty beeger favour so when I ask if I can have that RPK he had seeting on the wall..." she hefts the light machine gun. "Wanna come let off a few belts?"

[15:54]  (Scythe): /me was already on his way out as Kathy appeared but he gave a wave to her in  return before moving along

[15:55]  (Liz): /me adds "Good mornin' Kathy."

[15:56]  (Kathy): /me blinks and laughs softly "Oh, I'm Phantasma." she says, curiously eyeing the bear demi, she didn't recall meeting her before.

[15:57] Bearly Coherent (NasyaKorolev Resident): *just siad good morning, no name)

[15:57]  (Liz): /me smiles "I am Elizaveta Alexandrovna Petrova Miskina... most people call me Liz. I don' have a callsign yet. Still thinkin' about it."

[15:59]  (Kathy): /me nods slightly "Might wanna get one soon... ShinRa likes sneaking operatives in." She pauses and looks to brand "Where you here for the last one? I forget his name." She shrugs "He's gone now but... personal information paranoia will stand you in good stead if you aren't openly fighting ShinRa." The cat demi offers.

[16:02]  (): /me "I'd say that does it." Brand yawned before shutting up and taking the time to stand, swaying a little as he fights to ignore the urge to go back to bed.

[16:04]  (Kathy): /me grins at brand "You should get to bed, wern't you on the late watch last night?" She twitches her tail slightly before saying "I'm going to go practice, Need to put a few dozen clips of rounds downrange." motioning towards her sniper rifle. They said practice makes perfect...

[16:09]  (Liz): /me shrugs "I am only polar bear in half a sector. I used to vork for them... I think they already know." She laughs. "I was headin' that way myself, I have to break in an' warm up my new gun." She gestures to the protective barrel shroud and 'remove before firing' tags. She looks to Brand. "You shoul' go sleep. I suggest ear plugs, though."

[16:11]  (Kathy): /me smiles and springs lithely off the ledge before heading to the range in the wastes. Sniper rifles kinda needed more space then a standard range provided after all.

[16:11]  (Brand): /me let out a long sigh. "Bah. Jokes on you, gunfire helps me sleep." He'd step away, almost shambling like some sort of zombie. ((Nap time! I slept only about 6 hours, and I also have to do dishes!

[16:16]  (Kathy): /me sets up on a ledge and peears out over the firing range through her scope, verifying that no one is down range, before she aims in on her target.

[16:18]  (Kathy): /me cooly and calmly she pulls the trigger on her rifle, sending a full ten round mag down range in a little under two minutes. Ejecting the clip, she grabs the next one, and slots it in, snugging the rifle to her shoulder once more.

[16:19]  (Kathy): /me once she's burned all her mags, she looks down and counts. Ten empty mags, 100 rounds, about 80 percent of them where in a statisfactory grouping. She was getting better at least.

[16:22]  (Kathy): /me heads into the ShinRa HQ to see about getting an ID, walking into the foyer, the nekko looks around for a moment, before heading up to the receptionist, sure that she could help her.

[16:23]  (VII:RCSv1.0 Specialist Commando Gunner HUD): Pheonix Lanzius has attached his/her VII Roleplay Combat Simulator HUD!

[16:23] Fennix (Pheonix Lanzius): jesus this needs an update

[16:24] Fennix (Pheonix Lanzius): bear with me

[16:25]  (Fennix): /me as he eyed the woman who walked towards him crossing his arms and seeing her approach for the moment he remained silent uncertain what the lady was looking for. "Can I help you citizen?" his voice usually intentionally given a deeper tone.

[16:25] Fennix (Pheonix Lanzius): You're fine

[16:26]  (VII:RCSv1.0 Specialist Commando Gunner HUD): Pheonix Lanzius has detached his/her VII Roleplay Combat Simulator HUD!

[16:26]  (Kathy): /me looks towards the officer and nods "Um.. Yes, could you tell me where to get an ID Officer?" she asks uncertainly. The cat demi flits her plasma ball this way and that while waiting for an answer.

[16:29]  (Fennix): /me his gaze seemed to shift about, though the mechanical scanners glistened "Well, you came to the right place but the procedure is not easy. If you are willing to sit for a bit we can go through the process. Which you have to do anyways because to be honest I have to take in anybody without an ID. So guess what we're doing" as he walked around the counter and would begin to pull out the fingerprinting card.

[16:30]  (Kathy): /me smiles slightly "Yah, I know, I had some trouble with the train because of it." She follows him willingly towards the counter, looking around curiously, mismatched gaze taking it all in, red in the left, blue in the right, like fire and ice...

[16:33]  (Fennix): /me he chuckles "well at least you came here of your own accord most people have to come in cuffs and then say "oh he's such an asshole how dare he follow the rules." skoffing if only just a bit about it. Noting her expression moving around he would snap his fingers "oi, put your hands in the ink and start fingerprinting. "

[16:34]  (Kathy): /me giggles softly and moves forward, putting her hands in the ink... she makes a wierd face at the feeling and laughs, before moving towards the card.... "Do I just... put my whole hand down?" She asks, looking at the card dubiously.

[16:36] Fennix (Pheonix Lanzius): /me taken aback just a bit he would breathe in steadily and exhale "it says on the card how you do it. See where it says left thumb, put your left thumb there. where is says right thumb do that. Then when you put your finger down roll it left and right and remove your hand."

[16:36]  (Fennix): /me here

[16:37]  (Kathy): /me flushes and says "Oh.. my bad!" looking abashed, she would carefully follow the directions, before asking "Is there a sink to wash my hands?" holding up ink covered hands with an expression of distaste. However, the whole time she is ameniable about the whole thing, knowing its a necessary process.

[16:41]  (Fennix): /me as he watched her carefully just to make sure she had followed the instructions in its entirety while he took the card he would run it through the scanner to make sure there wasn't a pre-generated ID on it. The small hum between them when he pulled out a wet wipe and placed it down for her. "So, what purposes are you visiting?" making sure that it was all business for right now.

[16:42]  (Kathy): /me carefully cleans her hands "Actually, I'm not, I've lived down in the slums my whole life. Apparently the train just decided to give me a headache today so..." She shrugs and sighs softly. Catherine didn't really get it, she had been traveling back and forth her whole life, it must be the tighter restrictions of martial law thats catching up to her now.

[16:46]  (Fennix): /me as he had heard that he paused as if examining her a bit more and then he would start working behind his console some more "right so you are looking to live here. What job are you seeking or currently have?" typing away at the computer "oh, also date of birth, blood type."

[16:46] Fennix (Pheonix Lanzius): (derp, wrong character set)

[16:48]  (Kathy): /me gives him a date that shows she's about 20 years old. (dunno the dating system for final fantasy.) She then says "Oh, I'm just a monster hunter. I use a sniper rifle or handguns." she jabs a finger back at the entrance "The guard also said I needed a permit for the rifle before he would give it back, so I need to get that handled too, if thats ok?" she asks. As for her blood type "O negative."

[16:52] Fennix (Pheonix Lanzius): is it a sniper rifle?)

[16:52] Fennix (Pheonix Lanzius): Oh I didn't even see it

[16:52] AƖιησяια Ɗяαgσηѕєєкєя (DauntedLight Resident): :)

[16:53]  (Aron Warde): /me as he continued filling it out he would just go through the list "Okay, let me see and we need your hometown listed here." as he waited for her response and once she did he would fill it out and submit the document "Big smile." he muttered for a moment waiting for the bright light to flash that usually was enough to make people stumble all about.

[16:54]  (Kathy): /me nods and says "Midgar Slums." then she smiles prettily at the camera, before blinking "Uh... sure thats not like.. a stun camera!" she laughs and then asks "What's next?"

[16:57]  (Aron Warde): /me he gives a small nod "yeah you know just testing your reactions for the experimentation program." delivering the line so flat it seemed like he wasn't really joking. Then as he waited for a moment he would give a small laugh. Once more.

[16:58]  (Kathy): /me blinks.... "Experimentation program?" He can hear a tone of worry in her voice, if he doesn't change her mind this might just end up on the news!

[17:06]  (Aron Warde): /me nodding "yeah you know when we have people with unnatural abilities we have to understand them." and then he broke for a moment with a snicker "ah I am just playing with you."

[17:07]  (Kathy): /me shakes her head, her tail swishing back and forth in relief "I see.. well.. I'm actually an alien here to eat your brains!" she states with a smirk.

[17:08]  (Aron Warde): /me nodding as he would give her a nod "you could try I mean if I was out of uniform you would probably be able to get close." he teased a little since he thought she was kind of cute. Clearing his throat he would motion "alright hand over the rifle."

[17:11]  (Kathy): /me laughs softly and motions towards the guard "He wont give it to me, I'm sure he'll pass it to you though?" The mentioned npc comes over with the well worn Sniper Rifle, it has a 12X Mag scope, though its apparent from the quick change latches on the scope mount that she switches out to a 4X or 50X scope as the occasion warrants. At the moment it was Zero'd for 300 meters, if the MP knew what to look for, by far not its max range, but, she was a decent shot if she was shooting that far out with it on a regular basis.

[17:14]  (Aron Warde): /me as he looked through the scope and the other settings on the rifle he would also receive the report from the other MP. Breathing in for a moment as he thought it all over "looks like the ballistics has been cleared so far and I suppose we can register it to your name. Though I have to ask why you need such a long range scope in an urban area. You fire this rifle off in the city you are likely to damage a lot more than the monster right." as he held onto the gun looking at her from across the table. "Frankly I think you should get a smaller calliber gun. You fire this off and an orphanage explodes we have to deal with that."

[17:17]  (Kathy): /me arches a brow "You have seen the marlboro's lately right?" she points to the rifle "It's going to feel it when I shoot it with that, a smaller caliber isn't going to do anything, and It's not like I'm stupid enough to fire it off at close range." She smiles and as he runs over it, the faint smell of gunpowder fills the air "They didn't fire off the whole clip, right?" She asks. Depending on what the database looks for, the Rifle comes back clear of any criminal case involvement, though the ballistics are linked to ALOT of monster attacks, Headshots most of the time too. She certainly liked to practice on them.

[17:25]  (Aron Warde): /me as he worked through the bits of the rifle he tapped his chin "Tell you what being a monster hunter you only use this rifle when it is on duty in other words when you are hunting you are fine. If anybody sees you walking around with it expect to have problems. I am going to give it a limited license that it will only be used during operations of the monster hunter group. Walking around with this I will take you in and be arrested."

[17:27]  (Kathy): /me arches a brow and folds her arms "Fine, up on the plate, but I live in the slums, what about down there? An operation implys organization, if marlboro's just pop up, you really want me running home for my rifle before going into a fight?" She hums and points to her two 9mm handguns. "Trust me, from experience, I know those aren't going to do anything but piss them off."

[17:29] Fennix (Pheonix Lanzius): /me nodding "That is exactly what I want you to do. Say what you will ma'am but with the current status of this city I couldn't gurantee your safety being a non military personell carrying this weapon. What if I let you use it openly and one day you decided you wanted to be one of those avalanche scum and shoot me from a mile away. If you can't get home then bleh that's on you."

[17:31]  (Kathy): /me laughs softly and cants her head "If I was one of those 'rebel scum' why would I use a registered weapon? Thats begging to be arrested. But, fine." She shrugs and leans back "It's just cause it's a fifty caliber right?" The demi's tail lashes the air a moment, she didn't feel like forking over a few thousand gil for a weapon she could carry all the time, but she would if she had to.

[17:33]  (Aron Warde): /me he gives her a small nod in response pulling up the ID card which would have a small attachment to it that stated a permit license. Which would also get printed alongside it "Yes, it's because this weapon in my research is enough to tear up a MG's armor and I can't imagine a civlian being allowed to use it in the daily. Plus even with it being registered we would have to find the bullet and chances are after you fire it off you could take out a city block"

[17:33] Fennix (Pheonix Lanzius): alright gotta ooc my friend is getting mad

[17:36]  (Kathy): /me tucks away the ID and permit "Thanks!" she takes her weapons, and heads out the door, humming softly.


[18:16]  (Aria): /me shook her head slowly "  not at all. i still feel the old ticks from time to time...  i'm pretty sure it's a similar process the ravens go through.  over time they break free - or rather reinvent themselves... i just picked a poor strategy for my mission... one that didn't take expedience into account...  bought me the time i needed to... snap out of it  little, i guess. "

[18:17]  (Phantasma): /me smiles slightly and says softly "Hows it going." to advertise her presence as she approaches them.

[18:18]  (Scythe): /me would nod his head softly, looking to Phantasma as she approached, giving a wave with that gangly monstrous metal claw of his "Good afternoon." he offered to her. "Its going alright just taking a quick break during my security inspection."

[18:19]  (Aria): /me gave a wave " phantasma...  it's been awhile. thought you buggered off somewhere for keeps.  how have you been? "

[18:19]  (Phantasma): /me nods slightly, and says softly "Good. been busy organizing relief efforts for the displaced people from shinra's antics lately. What have I missed? Coms have sounded pretty crazy lately."

[18:20]  (Scythe): "We've had some pretty frequent skirmishes with Shin-Ra the passed few days, we've mostly come out on top during them, far as I know."

[18:22]  (Phantasma): /me nods slightly "The slums have been getting torn up. I'm glad everyone got evacuated or we would have civilian casualtys to deal with as well."

[18:23]  (Aria): /me rolls her shoulders in a small shrug "  lots of disorder...  vamp going against orders and bombing the snn building, someone else i can't remember thame going against orders to blow up the metalloids place,  fights with the company on the plate,  they burned down the slums for a bit too...  was good times, you totally missed it. "  she gestures towards scythe "  yeah we've gotten lucky i guess. "

[18:24]  (Aria): /me adds  in quickly " and sprite and lothar turning out to be shinra agents as well... real kick in the jollies that was. "

[18:24]  (Scythe): "Luck has nothing to do with it, I think this isj ust the best collection of rebels that've ever passed through her- Wait what, Sprite was wrking for Shin-Ra?!"

[18:25]  (Phantasma): /me blinks... and curses softly "Shit, I didn't know about sprite... Think she reported me?" They had met face to face once. And if so, her cover was shot full of holes.

[18:28]  (Aria): /me rolls her shoudlers in a light shrug "  okay that part is unconfirmed,  i have folks digging into it... she for definite attacked some of our own though.  i don't know anyone else who could have made shots like that...  she's dead now anyway. "

[18:29]  (Scythe): /me nodded his head. "I honestly wish I could say I was happy to see her go...such a senseless blood thirst but she was one of the best we had...She returns to the planet but what were her final thoughts, I wonder.."

[18:34]  (Phantasma): /me bites her lower lip and sighs softly "Well.. if I did get reported we'll find out next time I go on a supply run.

[18:36]  (Aria): /me offers " lothar supplied your analytics to shinra however...  medical, identity, psyche evals, that sort of thing...  i managed to recover and destroy them however. "

[18:37]  (Scythe): "I dont think Sprite was working for Shin-Ra honestly the only thing she hated more than us was them." he stated, tilting his head back to stare at the ceiling

[18:37]  (Phantasma): /me frowns "What? How did he pull that off, I never even met him." she curls her hands into fists.

[18:41]  (Aria): /me stretches her arms in front of herself "  she hated our command structure... particularly current lieutenants and ensigns... " she looked over towards phantasma "  he didn't have to.  he lifted the info from our computers. manually.... put everything onto flash drives the day before he revealed himself as a traitor and started wearing mighty grunt armor. "

[18:41] AƖιησяια Ɗяαgσηѕєєкєя (DauntedLight Resident): ...

[18:42]  (Scythe): "I mean I cant say im totally thrilled about the people at the top of our command structure but what can you do?" he would aks shrugging his shoudlers. "I'm surei f I stuck around long enough to be in red I'd have some enemies as well."

[18:42]  (Phantasma): /me facepalms and says "And who's brilliant idea was it to leave everything unsecured so he could do that, surely we encrypt confidential data... " She growls softly and asks "Did he get any of it to ShinRa?"

[18:48]  (Aria): /me snerks "  hells i'm halfway there myself, and i'm not even in blues yet. " to phantasma she nods "  yeah. it's encrypted... and a closed circuit system... didn't stop him from pulling the encrypted data and working on an algorithim to unencrypt it...  he actually offered it, that's the strange part.  even one better, they turned it down. cited it as unverifiable. "

[18:49]  (Phantasma): /me looks relieved. "Thank god." she had been about to have a heart attack on the spot.

[18:50]  (Scythe): "Well, I suppose Shin-Ra is nothing if not stupidly cautious, it doesnt change the fact  there's a very heavy fucking morale issue right now...something needs to be done or we'll have another incident on our hands."

[18:53]  (Phantasma): /me shrugs and pulls her hood up "Or just do what I do, and trust fucking no one." She looks towards them, one of the two knew her face, and with the way things where going, she was glad for her paranoia, all things considered.

[18:53]  (Aria): /me gestures to phantasma "  that was my first reaction as well. " she nods to scythe "  so... what have you got in mind?  pushups?  team building exercises?  sissy slapboxing matches on the plate with SOLDIERs ? "

[18:54]  (Aria): " i trust everyone... i trust eventually someone will betray me.  i also trust that they'll be shipped back to their families in pieces for it as well...  trust cannot propagate without trust. "

[18:55]  (Scythe): /me would look over to Phantasma, before looking back toward the exit, with a thoughtful hum. "I use to be like that, trusted no one, slept with one eye open til I only had the one then I just never went to sleep. I subsisted off coffee and 'fuck yous'" he stepped away from the barricade. "If you cant trust the people in this rebellion you dont have a place here, you'll be an outcast, and you might think you're fine with that but its a lonely, sad existence, not one that i would wish on anyone."

[18:55]  (Aria): good news is if my cover gets blown, i won't have to bother with disguises all the damn time at least.

[18:57]  (Phantasma): /me laughs softly "Yah well... If someone betrays me and I find out about it..." She grins, the shape of her rifle could be seen outlined on her cloak "I love my rifle." She murmurs, the threat should be clear. She looks towards Scythe and shrugs "Better to minimize the risk. Leadership knows what they need to about me, someone gets that high in the organization to betray us? We're all dead or in cells anyway. Everyone else? I can count on one hand how many people of the rank and file in Ava knows my face and name." She points to Aria. "She's one." she says with a smile.

[19:02]  (Scythe): /me nodded and shrugged, crossing his arms over his chest. "You'll live the way you chose, but your insistence on distrusting those within AVALANCHE only makes me wonder if you're not the one we should be watching."

[19:05]  (Aria): /me pokes the tip of her tongue out past her teeth at phantasma "  and i'll protect it better than i do my own name. "  she didn't even know her real name, other than to know it wasn't aria. "  but it's bad to be suspicious of everyone all of the time...  who will have your back in the end? i mean sure, you could slip off and pretend to be a civvy or something when the chips are down...  but like what if you're caught somewhere and call for backup?  others won't know what phantasma looks like to help protect her, you know what i mean? " she shakes her head towards scythe "  that's the wrong way to approach it, sarge...  if she wants to hide, let her.  she'll come around and open up when she's ready.  never before.  show trust, and trust will be returned. "

[19:06]  (Phantasma): /me shrugs and says "Hey Cleric, question. How often do you see me in the base, anywhere except meetings or mandatory events?" The answer is nearly never. Though She did com in alot when she was on recon duty. She then looks towards Scythe. "Just yesturday they captured coms data from Mongoose, so if thats what your worried I might be gathering to turn over, enforce stricter coms discipline, otherwise? As a security risk I would say im fairly negligable." She shrugs "That of course is up to everyone else to decide on." She wasn't going to change the way she treated the rank and file of ava though, particularly not after hearing about sprite and lothar.

[19:08]  (Aria): /me offers her response " well, you're here now.  and last time i saw you we were both here before i saw you elsewhere... i didn't know that about mongoose.  is she okay? "

[19:09]  (Scythe): /me just kind of rubbed the back of his neck, looking away and to the exit again, shifting his gaze to Aria. "I'm not making accusations by any means, but when I opted to assume everyone was out to get me, any time something went wrong the fingers were usually pointed at me. Even when I was the one who predicted Lori's betrayal, and everyone said I was wrong, when it became apparant she did I was the one most people blamed for it." He stopped and thought about the question asked by the fox on the barrier. "Far as we know she's in a cell."

[19:09]  (Phantasma): /me considers for a time and says shortly "Cleric, if I'm needing to call for backup, my cover is shot, and I'm as good as dead anyway. As far as mongoose goes, some guy in ShinRa hijacked her coms for a few minutes yesturday, told us she was in cells for holding, and then feedback and static. I'm assuming her com self destructed in his hand or something."

[19:15]  (Aria): /me hmms quietly "  i remember hearing a pop and a fizzle while i was fighting on the plate yesterday... the only one i heard on coms at a similar time was paladin chiming in probably a good half hour earlier...  our com lines have always been weak.  it's why i keep getting onto folks all the time about giving names and locations on it. " she sighs " i agree.  we do need more stringent com etiquette...  but i'll keep that in mind phantasma.  you still just have to call us if you get into a scrape and don't like your odds... we *DO* try to help one another. "

[19:17] Kyren Ghostmane (Falcon Rang): wb

[19:17] M L E M B O I  (Scythe23 Resident): hey sorry my nets bein shit could you IM me the last few posts

[19:17]  (Phantasma): /me smiles "We'll see, I don't intend to get into any scraps though... speaking of scrapes, how did your mission go? I never heard anything about it after that first meeting." she nods slightly and says "Hence me growing more distant, I told you guys when I joined, I was worried mainly about mitigating damage to the slums. Then tearing shinra down."

[19:18]  (Scythe): /me nodded his head softly, resting his hands on his hips and looking between both of them. "If you ladies will excuse me, There is something I must tend to, Gaia preserve you both." He would state, giving a quick bow nad moving to head out (Gonna go AFK and try to get my net sorted out)

[19:20]  (Phantasma): /me waves fairwell and waits till Scythe was out of earshot, before looking towards Cleric "So... anything you guys need me on the lookout for? I'm about done with the displaced refugees problem, provided everything starts quieting back down."

[19:20]  (Aria): /me rolls her shoulders in a small shrug "  i never got approval, so it's been shelved indefinitely.  also my only friendly insider source was mitigated before i could pressure for samples just recently,  so without a direct assault there's nothing. "  she gave paladin a wave "  take care paladin.  let me know when that training exercise starts. "

[19:21]  (Aria): /me shakes her head "  i'm dark about too many topics lately. been working on building a more substantial civilian presence topside.  you'd have to talk to command about that sort of thing sadly... "

[19:22]  (Phantasma): /me nods and sighs softly "When's our next 'family' meeting, I'll make sure I'm there." She hadn't heard anything recently about it, but that was the best time to pin down EOS if she wanted to discuss things with her.

[19:27]  (Aria): /me hmms "  i think asterion was going to run something about com etiquette coincidentally this week... aside from that, i'm unaware of anything scheduled...  there's promotions coming up mid month.  afterwards i'll be taking off for cosmo canyon for a week or two. "

[19:28]  (Phantasma): /me nods slightly and stands "Understood. I'll be seeing you then." She smiles and says "Going to watch the train station for a bit. I got a new rifle, had to register my old one earlier when I went in for an ID." needless to say, her old rifle was useless now for rebel ops...

[19:30]  (Aria): /me cants her head to one side "  really?  are you looking to get rid of your old one?  shingetsu built his own... and i think he could use some machined parts for improvements on his current model...  if you don't want it i could buy it off of you perhaps ? "

[19:33]  (Phantasma): /me shakes her head "Nah, it's a higher caliber, and ShinRa would just make me register the new one when I go on my little monster hunting expeditions." She pauses a moment, before taking out her new one. "This one is alot weaker, but It's ballistic profile is nonexistent." She hadn't even fired it once yet. "I'll keep the old one for when I'm being a civilian. But that means I really wont be much help in civilian attire. Not unless we want to blow my cover off a ballistics check."

[19:35]  (Aria): /me nods once "  no problem...  yeah i don't even carry the pistol i registered anymore...  never really used it anyway in the end.  traded it in for a wand...  wands aren't regulated like firearms afterall...  and i made it myself, so that was kind of fun. "

[19:36]  (Phantasma): /me grins "Nice! It's wierd... they didn't run ballistics on my handguns, I got a new pair anyway. So now I have a 'ops' set, and a 'civilian' set of weapons."

[19:38]  (Aria): /me flashes a thumbs up "  seems like an expensive way to run but i definitely applaud it... hopefully you'll get the chance to put it to good use, eh? "

[19:39]  (Phantasma): /me grins "We'll see, next time you need sniper support instead of recon, give me a call and we'll find out."

[19:40]  (Aria): /me pokes the tip of her tongue out past her teeth "  i would, if i had your personal com frequency.... i don't care to make specialized requests over global networks...  gives listeners a hint as to the loadout we'd be bringing. "

[19:41]  (Phantasma): /me smirks behind her mask and passes over her com frequency "I change that one about once a week, I'll message you the new one before I get rid of the old one." Jeesh, she really was paranoid...

[19:42]  (Aria): /me " understood, " she offered her own " not a problem. i rotate mine out every 6 days or so.  keep it random. "

[19:43]  (Phantasma): /me nods. "See you later.. or more likely hear you." She giggles, before turning to walk away, reaching up in the process "Phantasma here, headed to watch the train station, I'll com in if I see anything interesting." releasing her com unit, and dissapearing into the slums.

[19:46]  (Phantasma): /me climbs lithely up to her little sniper nest atop the walls, after drawing her rifle, and settling in, she peers down at the train station curiously. before making sure she is comfortable.

[21:21]  (Phantasma): /me hops off the train and looks around, before heading towards central square, humming a soft song in the process.

[21:25]  (Lupus): /me nodded as he says to kazuki "Its a good way to stay in shape when off duty." as he turns to regard the civilian for a bit wondering if tibs would accept their application but he had no hand in that process

[21:25]  (Phantasma): /me hums a soft song as she walks through the crosswalk. She waves in a friendly manner to the other three demi around her, before waiting till its safe to cross into the mcronalds.

[21:26]  (Lupus): /me "ITS A REBEL KILL IT!" as he throws zeri at it -v-

[21:26] AƖιησяια Ɗяαgσηѕєєкєя (DauntedLight Resident): "A rebel? Where!" dives for cover! -v-

[21:30]  (Kazuki): /me gives a nod in recognition to the passing other. "I bet. Gonna have to give him a ring one of these days and get involved. Could be fun?"

[21:33]  (Phantasma): /me continues onwards, and moves into the mcronalds to order some coffee!

[21:34]  (Phantasma): /me takes a moment and orders two coffees, one just straight black, the other with cream and sugar. While she waits for her order she hums softly to herself, wondering just where she would find some drumsticks.

[21:35] AƖιησяια Ɗяαgσηѕєєкєя (DauntedLight Resident): ;)

[21:36]  (Lupus): /me nods to kazuki "Give a try if you want." as he looks around the area for any trouble ignoring the one who went into McTonalds since they wern't anything to worry about right now.

[21:38]  (Phantasma): /me a few minutes later Walks out of the McRonalds with her coffee after paying. Two orders down, now she just needed an order of drumsticks... maybe a can of coffee grounds for back home. As she lingers just outside the establishment she bites her lip, uncertain which way to go.

[21:42]  (Kazuki): /me waits a few moments before looking back to Keto. "Get to do anythin' cool in your time with the group, yet?"

[21:45]  (Lupus): /me hmmd as he stood there for a minute "Killed a few wild Ents......last week i think." he says thinking back "And some rouge sweepers and spider bots as well so you never know whats gunna show up hell had two fucking minotaurs one time." he shudders lightly at that memory

[21:49]  (Kazuki): /me snickers a bit. "Not literally? Sounds pretty good, though. Those sweepers and bots are a handful when they act up, though. Hate dealin' with em on the clock, let alone time off."

[21:50]  (Phantasma): /me sighs softly and looks down in the coffee in her hand.. before she checks the street, crossing to the MP's she waits a moment so she can ask one of them for directions, this was the issue with living in the slums, she had no clue where to buy drumsticks!

[21:51]  (Lupus): /me shrugged "They were pretty easy other then some idiots.......and one of the members was to close when i hit a sweeper with Matra." he says with a small snort

[21:54]  (): /me "You team killing bastard..." Kazuki mutters through his loudspeaker. "Nah just don't end up hittin' me and we're cool.~"

[21:55]  (): /me The Master Sergeant glares at kazuki hard as he says "It was not my fault the idiot didn't move." as he turns to the one who seemed lost and asks what is it you need?"

[21:55]  (Phantasma): /me nibbles her lower lip for a momnet uncertainly, before saying "Um... excuse me... Do either of you know a good place to buy chicken?" she cants her head slightly, hope in her gaze as she looks between the mps

[22:02]  (Lupus): /me decide since no one answered them he points at the arch behind them and says "Go that way and straight up all the stairs youll see a place called chubby chocobo"

[22:04]  (Phantasma): /me nods and smiles happily "Thank you. Stay safe." and with that, she would turn to leave, huming softly while her plasma ball swayed this way and that.

[22:04]  (Kazuki): /me takes a step back and shrugs. "'Ey, all I'm sayin' is at least give me some warnin' before the fireworks start."

[22:08]  (Dax): /me gets a little purturbed after hearing something about fast food restaurants "Is it bad i think about roasted bird when i hear 'chubby chocobo'?" She asks all out of her day dreaming, or nightmare day-dream? More about bird roasting than anything else!

[22:11]  (Phantasma): /me hums along the street before stepping off to the side and pulling out her phone. Texting Aria, she says "I got your coffee and scythes, headed to the chubby chocobo next. Anything you guys wanna add?"

[22:13]  (Phantasma): /me checks her phone before smiling and texting back "Going to take the train back, see you in 10."

[22:17]  (Phantasma): /me hops on the train back to the slums, as she does so, comming in "On my way back, got some coffee for the coffee mess, and everyone elses orders."

[22:20]  (Aria): /me attempts to ruffle his hair a bit " well, i've got an experiment going in medlab i neecd to keep a quick tab on,  but if you want to talk or get something off your chest, i'm here for you... you can come talk to me about stuff if you wanted. "

[22:21]  (Asterion): /me would chuckle softly even as his hair is fuzzled before nodding "Same to you, go ahead and get back to that experiment." he says as he watches Phantasma come in "Well hey there."

[22:21]  (): /me he'd say, putting the armband hes working on back into his pocket.

[22:21]  (Phantasma): /me walks in silently, and sets the bag with coffee grounds in it, another with a bucket of drumsticks, and two coffees on the counter. before saying softly "Evening Asterion, Cleric." She offers politely. "Supplies delivered."

[22:23]  (Asterion): /me raises a brow "Got pretty literal there didnt you."

[22:24]  (Aria): /me turned at the waist as the door opened, smiling to phantasma as she entered "  hey there! how much do i owe you? " paladin had stepped out, but she'd pick up the cost this time.  she'd drink his coffee too, if no one else beat her to it. she looks over to oot asking " that's whats different about you... your feathers are missing. "

[22:25]  (Phantasma): /me nods slightly "Yup. It came to my attention that we had two possible security breaches so..." she shrugs and motions to herself. To Aria she smiles "It was only like 20 gil total." she grins for a moment "Next time, dont let the coffee go out."

[22:26]  (Asterion): /me tilts his head at Aria "Feathers? Do you mean those feathers I had during the Survival Training?" he'd ask before looking over to Phantasma and chuckles "I see, well thanks for doing that, Im sure several people will be pretty happy."

[22:26]  (Aria): /me snerks, offering 50 gil "  happy, and awake.  recombinant DNA isn't my specialty...  but designer medicines are important...  the caffeine will be a huge help. "

[22:27]  (Phantasma): /me smiles and looks at Asterion "Also, do we need intel on anything? That or supplies, I can totally work on getting on the plate. Ran smack into a patrol and they wern't suspicious or anything, so at least we know my cover is intact still. She takes the gil and pockets it "Thanks."

[22:29]  (Asterion): /me thinks for a moment then nods "Actually....do you know where the Power Substation is?"

[22:29]  (Aria): "  - and yes, those feathers.  and the ones you wore in your hair just before then "

[22:29]  (Phantasma): /me nods "The warehouse district by the 5-11 right? Yah, I know where it is."

[22:29]  (Asterion): /me looks to Aria "Have me at a loss, Im aware of the ones I had at the Survival Training, but the ones before?"

[22:30]  (Asterion): /me nods to Phantasma "Think you can get a written schedule drawn up on guard duty shift changes and patrol times of that area?"

[22:31]  (Phantasma): /me ponders for a moment and says softly. "Sure, if i can get a camera to set up for when im not able to watch it myself."

[22:31]  (Aria): " there might be a camera laying around in mechlab "

[22:32]  (Phantasma): /me nods "I'll head there after we talk here then. Anything else?" she asks curiously.

[22:35]  (Asterion): /me looks from Aria back to Phantasma "Make sure you clear it with the Mechbay people, I may be 2nd Lieutenant but they still like it when someone asks."

[22:36]  (Aria): /me excuses herself with a brusquely intones "  running short on time, i should scoot...  thanks phantasma...  i don't have anything, unless you know how to inhibit a cells receptors to protein strands from the same source as the cells. "  she makes it halfway out the door before she turns back, attempting to grab the chocobo bucket with one hand and wrap the other around phantasmas waist

[22:37]  (Phantasma): /me nods "I'll call someone down then." she looks between the two, if there wasn't anything else, she would nod slightly "See you later then, I'll submit my report in a few days, after I have it nailed down.... she squeaks as aria catches her around the waist "Epp! Cleric!!!" she says, gasping as her cloak hood falls down to reveal her masked face.

[22:38]  (Asterion): /me looks at Phantasma again "Holy shit its Blake Belladonna! -v-"

[22:38]  (Phantasma): /me dies

[22:39]  (Aria): /me chuckles lightly, attempting to gnaw on those ears.  cause kitty ears " there we go!  much happier now.! " <3  she attempts to scoop up the coffee with her now free hand as well

[22:39]  (Phantasma): /me squeaks "bad cleric." Spotting someone else, she quickly raises her hood, all buisness suddenly.

[22:40]  (Liz): /me finishes suiting up after getting up from a nap, waving to everyone else present. "Zdrasvuyte."

[22:41]  (Asterion): /me chuckles as he watches the exchange between Phantasma and Cleric, not doing a thing to step in to stop it as it was honestly making him smile and he needed it "Hehe..." is all that came from him before he waves at Liz "Oh, hey there, and umm...what?"

[22:42]  (Phantasma): /me totally reaches out and pinches Cleric's side lightly, before waving to Liz "Liz, right?" she asks, to verify.

[22:42]  (Liz): /me chuckles quietly. "Is hello in Northlander." She frowns, realising Phantasma put up her hood when she surfaced. "You don' need to hide from me... da! Elizaveta Alexandrovna Petrova Miskina. Pleasure to meet you."

[22:42]  (Aria): /me cackles raising the bucket of chocobo in one hand and the cup of joe in the other " victory is mine !  and now... i'm off to SCIENCE !  "  and then she heard liz's voice "  Privet sestra. "

[22:43]  (Aria): /me eeps as her side it touched

[22:43]  (Liz): /me smiles to Aria. "Privet."

[22:44]  (Phantasma): /me grins and says "Maybe, maybe not." Turning to go, she waves fairwell and keying her coms asks. "Phantasma here, anyone awake that can authorize a material requisition from the mechbay?" she had a recon mission to prep

[22:45]  (Liz): /me shrugs a little as she goes "We are all brothers and sisters here..."

[22:45]  (Liz): /me sounds slightly hurt

[06:49]  (Phantasma): /me looks around for a moment and unslings her rifle, before peering down through her scope at a familar head. "Red Wolf, Is that you?" She asks. After a moment adding. "That stranger in front of you safe, or do you need overwatch?" the sniper asks softly.

[06:53]  (): /me ..... only for the sound of crying inside of the guild to be heard.

[06:53] AƖιησяια Ɗяαgσηѕєєкєя (DauntedLight Resident): ((

[06:54]  (Ark): ".... I said to keep your voice down." He'd repeat, before turning to walk away from Vitonie. "Let's carry on this conversation elsewhere." He'd say, moving a hand up to the side of his head, closing his eyes as he'd speak up. "Unless you'd rather take your chances alone." Ark added.

[06:56]  (Gene): /me idly he stood, his head just lulling around as if he were asleep standing up, as it were. Making no visible reaction to the glances or voices. About as passive as one could be~

[06:56]  (Vitonie): /me would have  bit at her lip with an unpleased expression as she was once more told to keep her voice down."...The kids will be fine." She'd respond only to glance up towards the sniper overhead just as Ark did, brows furrowing at his words before she'd carefully turn on her boot to follow him close behind."...Tsk-... Fine then, Whatever."

[06:58]  (Phantasma): /me follows the woman with her scope, finger off the trigger, weapon on safe, for now, just waiting to see whats going on, and if the operative below needed back up or not. As they start walking towards her, she stays perfectly still, trusting the shadows, and her clothing, to conceal her to the casual eye. She didn't know Gene was there as he was blocked by a building sadly.

[06:58] Vitonie (KairaOni Resident): { Scratch that part of looking up at anything. Got mixed up xD }

[06:58]  (Ark): /me led the way.

[06:59] AƖιησяια Ɗяαgσηѕєєкєя (DauntedLight Resident): .1 prone

[07:00]  (Phantasma): /me moves down the ladder after everyone moves on, trailing a safe distance away... she kept the barrel pointed down on her rifle, careful not to knock the attached surpressor while she follows at a distance, uncertain what the last com message meant.

[07:01]  (Ark): "The plan is to destroy Shin-Ra. In doing so we free the planet from it's grasp." He'd say as they walked. He never once looked back at her, even as he traversed treacherous land. Did he just trust her not to do anything? No, he likely trusted himself more to be able to stop her. As they passed the church, Ark stopped finally, looking back at her. "Tell me, are you truly so pessimistic that you believe nothing will change? And if so, then what motivates you to fight?"

[07:11]  (Vitonie): /me would have continued to follow, brows still furrowing as she followed him, walking not to far from behind. Listening to him speak of the plans and how Destroying ShinRa would save the planet from it's deathly grasps. She'd say nothing for now despite the fact that her pale orbs glared at the ground with rage with her fingers curling more around those spiked, brass knuckles of hers, the leathers gloves she wore crunching together with sounds as her grip only grew tighter. However as he turned to face her she'd slowly look up and respond to his own question." What motivates me?  Friends I never had the chance to have, a new life where I don't have to suffer living like-... THIS. And to keep a promise I made to someone a long time ago... And I'll be damned if I let you assholes destroy everything!"

[07:12]  (Phantasma): /me soft steps, muffled by cloak, and care, take her along behind them, making certain to make as little noise as possible, she glances around the corner, making certain that the unknown isn't looking her way, she waits to be sure Red knows she's there, before sinking back into the shadows. Back up if he needed it, a sentry, if he didn't. Keying her coms she whispers softly "I'll com in if she becomes hostile."

[07:17]  (Ark): /me nodded as she gave her answer. He stepped back a bit more, before he'd move to pull the clasp on his weapon free, so that it could come free of it's holster. Ark drew it in a swift motion, having it rest in his right hand, pointing down at the ground, before he'd speak up. "And if challenged, could you give it everything you've got and die happy knowing you upheld your values?" He'd ask, his pale silver eyes locking onto her own as he spoke. "You'll find that General Lycanthyr believes very heavily in the strength of one's own conviction. So tell me--" He'd suddenly level that weapon with her head. "--How strong is yours?"

[07:27]  (Vitonie): /me With her pale orbs watching his every move, unaware that they were being followed by a comrade of his own, she'd watch as he unclasped that sword of his, and as he held it  while speaking to her, only to point it now level with her head in question of her how own strength in her own conviction, she'd grimace at the spot as she took a single step forward, she was prepared and ready if she needed to fight."...I have plenty reason to give it everything I have for what I personally believe in. I'm sure you have people you love and wish to protect too yes? " She'd furrow her brows as she suddenly went straight into an offensive stance. " I didn't origonally come here for this-... But now I know your reasons for attacking ShinRa and taking innocent lives of civilians, including children. ....I'll never forgive you for that day, the SNN bombing...." She'd grit her teeth." IF that's your way of rebelling and trying to take ShinRa down then you have every right to live in a dump like this!"

[07:29]  (Ark): /me kept his weapon level with her awhile longer. Something she said had him consider something for moment, before he'd slowly lower the weapon. "There's no reason to fight." He'd suddenly say.

[07:31]  (Phantasma): /me shifts slightly as she hears the tenor of the conversation change. Quietly kneeling, she props the rifle on her knee with her hand making a rest, bringing the rifle to her shoulder, snugging into it as she starts to aim at the woman's back, thumb hovering over the safety, finger outside the trigger guard for now....

[07:37]  (Vitonie): /me would have already began to breath out heavily as she watched him, however, when he lowered is weapon declaring that there is no reason to cause harm or fight she'd squint her eyes at him and blink."..W-What?" She'd growl and stand up straight as she stomped forward, attempting tog rasp him by the collar of his shirt so she could get face to face with him, pale orbs looking into another as she spoke in a low tone."...What the hell is this?....No reason to fight? " She'd tremble as her grin if succesfull int he first place would tighten as wrinkles began to form at the bridge of her nose at her expression of rage. "...You drew YOUR weapon."

[07:37] Vitonie (KairaOni Resident): to grasp*** }

[07:40]  (Ark): /me watched her as she got close to him, and the grip of his coat had him narrow his gaze further. Still, the weapon hung at his side. "Because I can already tell, in time, you'll understand the value of all life." He'd move his left hand up to her own, to gently pull it off. "After all, you didn't condemn me to death just now.... You said I deserve to live here." He'd smile a bit, before moving to step away from her.

[07:43]  (Phantasma): /me as the woman steps forward to grasp Red's collar, mismatched eyes harden, as she flicks the safety off her weapon, whispering softly into her com unit "Want me to drop her? I can do a nonlethal shot." She offers helpfully, her scope playing the sight picture over the hostile woman's back, arms, neck, and legs.

[07:51]  (Vitonie): /me who was STILL unaware of Phantasma's presence would continue on with her conversation, And as he grabbed her hand, she'd noticeably flinch,  as it was pulled away gently. Then in came his words as followed, which made her pause and give him a strong expression of bafflement."...Wait what?... Don't go all sentimental on me...  Anything that breathes air has a right to live unless you're scum with no thought of human life. .....I hate you ALL for what you've done and continue to do. ...But this war needs to END. " She'd sneer and rip her hand from his grasp, if he hadn't of already let go. Shed then turn her head away, her cheeks reddening from embarrassment."....That's not-... what I meant. "

[07:53]  (Ark): /me steadily put the blade away as he'd step past her. Obscuring the view of the person with a scope on her body with his own body. "Well, you've made your point. You hate this war, and you want it to end, but you're not willing to take anyone's life to do it." He'd say, before gesturing for her to go. "Message received."

[07:55]  (Phantasma): /me cants her head slightly, before shruging, safing her weapon once more, she wasn't going to try shooting through an ally. Standing carefully, she would sling her weapon back on her back, before watching curiously. wondering why she hadn't swung yet, or he hadn't... They where so close....

[07:59]  (Vitonie): /me turned her head slowly to follow his movements as he walked past her to shield her back from an invisible enemy she didn't know lingered in the distance, however, though, as he responded to her once more, he made a great mistake by assuming such things.".....You're wrong!" She'd looked to him as she quickly turned and went to fast approach him, teeth gritted, however, her boot would catch on a piece of ruble and send her crashing into him, that's if he didn't move, who knows perhaps even an accidental kiss! Which of course would look terrible on Phantasma's end.

[08:02]  (Ark): /me narrowed his gaze for a moment, before she'd come right at him! Ark stood his ground... Only for her to come tumbling into him! Though, before any awkward face to face encounters happened, he'd manage to turn while catching her, Ark sighing somewhat, before he'd gently move her back up to her feet. "Perhaps work on your coordination before you launch a surprise attack..."

[08:03]  (): /me With the sight of a woman in a big cloak as he rounded the corner, 'Ego' gave a faint grin and lowered himself to the ground, slowly and cautiously taking steps directly up behind her so as to made as little noise as humanely possible. As he drew nearer, provided she hadn't caught onto him by then, the man would lean in real close and whispered a sharp, "Boo." His brain instantly expecting he'd be receiving a punch to the gut, or even his face.

[08:06]  (Phantasma): /me luckily enough for him, she had been turning slightly to holster her weapon, so instead of maybe sending a round into an alley, she simply glares at the newcomer as she lets combat gloved hand form into a knife, before driving the edge of the 'knife' towards his solar plexus at blinding speed. Yes, she did know unarmed combat. Question is, was she fast enough to connect and reduce him to a quietly wheezing body on the ground, easy to pull into the shadows.. or was he about to make things loud?

[08:07]  (Vitonie): /me had an expression of pure horror on her face as it seem like time slowed, as their faces grew nearer, only to be saved by his quick head turning! PHEW!! As she was caught however  and gently placed up-right, she'd just stand there, hand clutched to her chest as she breathed in and out, heavily, almost as if she were hyperventilating."....I wasn't trying to * Huff* Surprise attack you.... Oh, sweet baby chocobos, that could have gone worse! "

[08:09]  (Ark): /me sighed and stepped off to the side. "... Let's not make this any more awkward than it is. Return to the plate, and get some rest."

[08:10]  (Vitonie): /me would have turned to give him a not so pleased glare."...Do I have to latch onto your leg again or will you at least treat me to dinner?" She'd state, her expression looked deadpan.

[08:11]  (Ark): "..... Please go away>"

[08:11]  (Vitonie): /me "...Food first."

[08:12]  (Clyde): /me frowned lightly as his eye caught a glint of movement from the woman's arm, his own left launching up with an open hand, the digits attempting to intercept and maintain a tight grip of the woman's arm to keep it in control, and away from stabbing him. Whilst the man may not have had an arsenal of weaponry on him, he certainly did have raw, brute strength. "Woah now, lady. Was there any real need for that? I just came over here to tell you your ass looks amazing in that cloak."

[08:13] Vitonie (KairaOni Resident): { ~Calls out.~ GET'ER DUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!}

[08:15]  (Phantasma): /me as clyde's fingers close over her knife hand, her fingers go limp as she gasps in pain from the tight grip, she hisses softly and glares at him. "You snuck up on me, what do you expect?" she slugs him on the arm if she can "Let go..." biting her lower lip, she was quick and agile, not strong or powerfull. In his clutches she was basically helpless...

[08:16]  (Ark): /me rubs his face. He was about to suggest something else, only to instead hear the sounds of struggling behind him. Ark's attention turning to those behind him. "What the--" He started making his way towards Phantasm and Clyde. "Hey!"

[08:18]  (Vitonie): /me blinked as she awaited his answer only to glare at him and the sounds that were being made, as he turned to check it out, Vitonie too would follow."...What is it-.....? " She'd state.

[08:19]  (): /me "Well," the man sighed lightly, attention briefly turning to look down at his arm as it was punched, "Since you did ask so nicely, and since I half suspect there's a pretty face under there that I may potentially offer a drink to, okay little lady. Just don't try and stab me again. Okay?"

[08:20]  (Phantasma): /me glares at him mulishly and mutters "It was just a knife hand. Not like there was actual steel there or anything." She wriggles her fingers, reminding him to stop crushing her hand please!?

[08:22]  (Ark): "Back off." Ark suddenly demanded, coming up closer to Phantasma and the guy who was giving him a bit of a.... Bad Vibe. Ark wasn't one to normally interfere in other people's business but, given the circumstance...

[08:24] Rose (Nobaday Resident): (Mind if i jump in once a round goes by? :o)

[08:24]  (Vitonie): /me perked up a bit as she looked to Ark then back to the male in question as he appeared to be holding the clocked woman. As Ark called out to him, Vitonie would use this chance as she looked to the man with a pretty little smile, lifting her hand with a slight wave." I'll have a drink with you!"

[08:27]  (Dax): /me would have brought her bird-butt all the way down to the slums just to taste the bitterness of the air, the 'sweet' smell of copper and dust and that awesome look of ruins everywhere, such art! She hums, off in her own little mind before looking over "Huh?" She let out curiously as she heard the commotion off in the distance, she'd walk closer up until she felt she was close enough.

[08:31]  (): /me "Well, next time make it an actual knife." Clyde noted, "At least that way if you don't fail, you'll actually cause some damage." He'd add, loosening his Mighty Grip on the woman's hand as he looked over to Ark, "Hey now, she she started it. I'm just putting it to an end before things get to out of hand." But with the response from Vitonie, and the smile, the man quickly shrugged off the entire conversation and made her way over to her, "Sure thing, pretty eyes. What's your poison?"

[08:33]  (Phantasma): /me winces in pain as her hand is released, for a moment she flexes it, making certain nothing is damaged. Before she watches the stranger walk straight to Vitonie. the rebel's eyes sharpen, and she moves to stand next to Ark "Thanks." the familiar voice would wash over his ears, and hopefully none others.

[08:33]  (Ark): /me grit his teeth somewhat, though as Clyde pushed past him, to Vitonie who very happily volunteered to have a drink with him, Ark realized... Two birds, one stone. He made his way back over to Phantasma, resting a hand on her shoulder, as he thumbed for the two of them to get out of here.

[08:34]  (Phantasma): /me nods slightly and sticks close to the other rebel without a word or a backward glance.

[08:36]  (): /me And so they go!

[08:36]  (Ark): "You alright? He didn't hurt you did he?"

[08:37]  (Phantasma): /me nods slightly "I'm good, hand hurts a bit, but no damage." She sighs softly and shakes her head "Should've stayed on overwatch... Thank god my finger wasn't on the trigger when he did that, or you would have a hole in you right now."

[08:38]  (Ark): "Yeah, well, the girl is stupid, not a threat. No uniform, and a bit self-entitled, but don't worry."

[08:38]  (Ark): "I was more worried about you, that guy gave me a kind of...  A bad vibe. One I would get from the guys who would go to the honey bee inn."
