Archer Vonn Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 IC[Jason Hanlon - Orcen] Jason's eyebrow rose beneath his helmet. While the comment about the magic user did spark his interest, he decided not to comment. Instead, he just nodded. Who is this man to live in Xorov, then? And why do I get the feeling that I'll need to be assassinating him? "Very good, sir. Who are we waiting on, then?" 3DS: 3711-9364-3152 PSN: AidecVoros

Archer Vonn Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) mmkay, thanks. IC[Jason Hanlon - Orcen] Jason just nodded at the Lieutenant, keeping a poker face under his helmet. People asked him why he wore it- he said it looked good. Which was true. But he also wore it to protect his emotions. Were the XO aware that Hanlon was scoffing at her joke, she probably wouldn't have thought too kindly of it. Monroe at least seems disciplined. Let's hope this job doesn't get completely botched. "Very good. I hadn't done a headcount." He lied. "I'll be sure to kill her when the job is done." Edited October 16, 2011 by ~JC~ 3DS: 3711-9364-3152 PSN: AidecVoros

Alex Humva Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 IC [Orcen, Twilight] "I'm back." The woman walked into the room, scowling. "I don't know what you did Monroe, but to get someone that powerful to tell me to keep my temper? You must have connections.""That or the Makers are being kind to me at the moment." Monroe shrugged, waving to Jason. "Magic lady, meet this man." "Not in uniform? Soldiers these days." The woman scowled even more. "Trenchcoat too; barely any exposed skin.

Archer Vonn Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 lol, 'this man.' shoulda introduced myself. feels weird to do that in a military setting without having a rank, though. *coughcough* IC[Jason Hanlon - Orcen] "Ma'am."

IC[Jason Hanlon - Orcen] "I'll take risks after this war is over." Jason replied, yet to lose his cool. This woman did strike him as an odd one, but she had yet to be 'nasty'.

Alex Humva Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 IC [Orcen, Twilight] "Perhaps, but even in war you need to take a few risks elsewhere."

The only people wearing gloves is going to kill is the people I didn't miss because I just shivered." Jason replied, his interest in the woman already running thin.

Archer Vonn Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 IC[Jason Hanlon - Orcen] "I think they'll love me when I get a working helmet." He replied, and folded his arms. While it was true that he had yet to see any armour similar to his that wasn't, the techies had confirmed that it was not one of a kind. He knew he'd get a replacement one day. It was remarkably high tech, compared to the other equipment commonly used by the military. Or maybe it wasn't high tech at all, and just magical. Either way.

"I mean, it's practically no secret that the doctors have been putting chemicals in the water supply to encourage twin births; what else are they putting in there?" "What are you two talking about?"

Toast of Awesomeness Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) IC: A lightly armored figure clad in a green cloak, hood over his eyes, rode into the outskirts of Orcen. His horse had several packs of gear, notably a large quiver of crossbow bolts. A crossbow and machete hung at his side, and another quiver was strapped to his back.He threw the hood back, revealing brown hair, a short beard, and piercing green eyes.He looked out at the city, and his eyes narrowed, running over the rows of buildings.Too big. Just a night's rest here.He threw his hood back over his eyes, and rode over to a nearby tavern. He dismounted, tying up his horse before taking off his valuable supplies, including his money and large quiver. He walked into the tavern, and dropped a few coins on the bar."Food and board for me and my horse, tonight only. Will that be enough?"The bartender nodded, and took his order.Ronare sat down, throwing back his hood and glancing around the crowded bar.Too many people. I couldn't get used to this.

Alex Humva Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) IC [Orcen, Twilight] "That, or it could be a side effect of the twin chemical thing. I mean, do they even test that stuff on men? We play around with things like this and then forget to put it through the proper runs." The Commander began taking apart his crossbow once more, muttering a count underneath his breath. Within ten seconds he had it disassembled, and within another ten back together. "Hm. Still can't beat my record of putting it back together of seven seconds. My hands just aren't what they use to be." [Elsewhere in Orcen] Three women walked into the bar, dressed in the formal dress of the Imperial Army. The crescent moon with a sword through it on their shoulders told everyone present they were Recruiters; specifically, the division that pulled special cases into the military. They were scanning the room, and everyone present shifted a little in their seats.

Well, would you just look at that? I'm a piece of toast.
Alex Humva Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 OOCI did not get the reference xD IC [Orcen, Twilight] "A good rule of thumb boy; if you heard of a legend, myth, or otherwise somewhat plausible story, it happened. Perhaps not quite the way some told it, but it happened." The Commander kept pulling apart and putting his crossbow back together. "For instance, there is a legend regarding an ancient human and warlock coalition that forged a mighty sword, that would slice through any material known. There is much evidence saying that the Empire has that weapon." "Superstition. I thought you'd be above that, Commander." The magic user smirked. "Yeah, yeah, go ahead and deny the evidence; that's what you people do. The Empire stockpiles ancient weapons; simple fact of life." Monroe shrugged. "I mean, really, ancient weapons seem to abound. What is with that? Warlocks and humans were suppose to live in peace and harmony back in the day; but no, we get weapons of mass destruction." [Elsewhere] The Recruiters walked to the table where Ronare was sitting, the leader of the group sitting down next to him. "Your services are required again, soldier. Deserters typically are punished rather servery, but your skills of interest to us." She looked directly at Ronare.

Kothra Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 IC: "How old are some of these weapons supposed to be anyway?" asked Karin, intrigued. "Oh, and I assume that no one has any time estimate on when our other members are supposed to arrive?"

"Finally, we get a move on." Monroe bolted up, holstering his crossbow on his back. "I'm itching to find this informant, so let's not waste any time, shall we?" "Remember Commander, you're on a time frame." The magic user stood up, a Dark Pathway splitting the air, the dark void appearing. "Spend too much time, and you'll be hiking back home." "We'll jog then." The Commander, at this point, was so eager to get out of the room he ignored the usual snarkiness of the magic user. "Ok folks, let's move." [Elsewhere] "Perhaps not from the official military, but you deserted your nation. You stayed behind when your Empire called you." The Recruiter shrugged. "You showed skills that would be very useful to the Empire, and you hid in your little village.

"I did not hide "in my little village", as you say. It was burned to the ground by one of those.... animals. I am a hunter. I work best on my own. I killed the warlock who slaughtered my village, and eight more besides. I am serving my nation, and I am avenging my village. Don't try and say I hid and let others fight for me."

Roam the lands, hunting warlocks? You have no real power behind you; but we have an offer that you cannot refuse. You want to hunt warlocks? We're putting together a team, a team that will be very vital in a final strike that could end this war permanently. You simply have to accept the offer."
