  1. "Hmm? Oh, Miria." That was a pleasant surprise. It had been a while since they last spoke, after all. "No. Don't mind. You can sit here." It was... nice to make friends with a human that wouldn't be overtly judging of him. One look at her plate was enough to say she was just as fond of eating, he smirked, aware enough that pointing it out was silly. "You helped a lot last fight--" And no one other than Alriana showed up to disrupt the conversation, calling for Iris, who had sneaked somewhat poorly towards their table. "Uh... Iris?" Why did she do that? Hmm...
  2. "Haah..." After much thinking through the night from encounters of the romantic kind, Üllr got to the hall feeling quite energetic. His sore muscles from the hard hits taken during the fight had recovered just finr --he wasn't the one that took the brunt of a damned magic anvil, after all. Stretching him arms a little, Üllr picked his sustenance quickly, feeling a bit peckish for eggs. Sitting at a table, Üllr noted Sari seemed better than yesterday, which was a relief. With so many people gathering now, announcements for their next move were probably due. All was well to him, ready for more traveling in the wilds if need be. Still, best to learn what was next first.
  3. "Mm." Esther could already pick up that Iskra wasn't exactly comfortable, making do with a simple nod and leaving her and Louise to her talk... some of the others definitely seemed to enjoy a small talk, though Esther wasn't particularly interested in contributing, what with her different lived experienced. Most pilots left the elevator in somewhat of a hurry. Iskra to get away from Louise, as Esther could tell (though that really didn't take extra-sensorial abilities), and others to check their machines, for the most part. Esther was a bit interested in how her HEX would handle her, though she wasn't exactly ecstatic to get in her specialized suit and all that it entailed. "Hmmm..." Walking towards the mechs, she noted the fighter standing out --belonged to one of the guys, by the look of it. Esther could feel some of the members already in their cockpits... it was terribly faint, but it was still there. Still weird to just be able to sense it. "Hm? Oh, Lieutenant Vhane." Bonner was pleasantly surprised to be reached out by one of his own crew so soon, figuring most of them to be caught in their own preparations this early --workplace communication tended to be a cultivated art, as it were. "Don't concern yourself for asking. I've been thinking on it myself." He reassured the junior grade while walking, "Having multiple fresh graduates tend to be a risk, so I assume our team was chosen with hopes that a diplomatic route was likely, or to experiment new tech, considering the Newtypes. If you had asked me a month prior, I'd have expected CEN to elect a more experienced roster for this sort of mission." Bonner was quite straightforward and speculative. As Daeran would soon find out, the senior pilot had a bit of a penchant for gossip. "It's not lopsided by any means... well, I suppose it's too soon to say that. Better to find out in practice, though I believe our other castings were picked to round out the new tech." For a moment, his expression soured. I really doubt the top brass expects a peaceful option, though.
  4. Esther wasn't one to wait and congregate, at least not for now. While others in the task force had colorful personalities, she wanted to ensure they were worth their talk first, more interester in how her HEX would be adapted to herself. Still, focused as she was, Esther was not as fast as Kazue, reaching the elevator as soon as the other batch arrived. Having a moment of hesitation, she nevertheless approached the three in wait. "Room for more?" Edson, on his end, walked slowly through the halls, under no illusion of haste. He valued knowing the inner layout of the ship more --better to not get lost, and all. It gave him time to think of the team composition...almost all fresh talent, while including some outliers. He couldn't help but wonder CNE's plan. A ship full of potential, for sure. But did this match the mission requisites? Edson couldn't help but wonder the top brass' goal. This will be a long one...
  5. "Yeah... I hope it helped..." Thinking on the injustice with the knights before, Üllr's mind was wandering as Iris called for his attention, shifting his eyes to look at her as her face hovered close. "Hmm, thank you. I think I sti-- HnnNh?!" And just as suddenly, his lips were pressed, a chaste kiss, eliciting an uncharacteristic whine out of the wolf boy, "Hnn, w-what, was that?" He couldn't help a blush. Üllr was not ignorant of what Iris did, but that didn't stop it from being his first time. He couldn't exactly control his wagging tail, or maybe he wasn't aware of it.
  6. What a colorful cast. There were some clear points of friction, overconfidence, overly playful nature at the wrong time, extreme timidness... Edson made a mental note of each pilot. At least they were for the most part communicative, and the captain showed potential with a bit more confidence of her own. "A new unit should learn which tactics it can apply best before a real mission." It was nice to see some motivation still, "Just don't get too lost in the ship. Each of you should have received a map of the ship on your devices. At the hangar, we should prioritize everyone's position for the exercise." Organization was a key for success, he figured. "Hm..." Esther wasn't the only newtype there, which was good to know. Still... this girl lacked all sorts of confidence. It wasn't going to get them along too well. After the last few introduced themselves, Esther stood for her seat. "Alright, I'm going." For personal interest, she'd like to switch to her pilot suit while already inside the cockpit.
  7. "Hmm..." Though Sari insisted it was nothing, Üllr still felt bad thinking to Sari's pain. Lowering his head for a moment. "I'll make it up-- ah." And Iris came and climbed him. Üllr wasn't exactly tall, but he had the body strength to carry Iris without much issue. He grabbed onto her legs, making sure she could keep steady. "Hm, yeah. I'll pay more attention next time." It seemed like he was quite overwhelmed, so Üllr felt best to leave it at that. There was the matter of these knights they were talking. Üllr could get the gist of it now, the weapon was returned. "I hope they will stop bothering the clouded as much now..."
  8. Edson awaited for the captain and whoever was eager enough to go first. He was certainly the most standout officer in the meeting, both in age and appearance, wearing his military suit and distinctions with reverence. "First of all, I'd like to congratulate our captain, Miss Silverwind, on captaining a ship at such a young age. That makes you the youngest captain to be in service of the CEN." He'd done his research on that, it was quite a feat. Offering a soft smile, Edson continued. "Back to introductions, I am Edson Bonner, Lieutenant Commander. Like most of you, I will be piloting a HEXs, it'll be a pleasure to join you in the battlefield." This group was... peculiar, but he was sure he could handle it. He took his seat once more, waiting for the next person. ... Ah... of course, there wouldn't be some time out in the machine before introductions. Esther had taken the time to read through the basics regarding her crewmates, but didn't mind digging much besides the most prominent info. All it mattered is they were good enough to keep up with her, which was still to be seen. She put her comms down, standing up to get her turn done quick. For now, she was as formal as she could muster in quick notice, her jacket zipped down and skinny pants she'd hardly used before. The excuse of a pilot suit the researchers made for her was hardly appropriate for social settings. "Esther. Esther Taylor. Specialist. Newtype pilot from then Ascension program. Top marks, can fill most roles." She wasn't lacking in confidence, at all. "Just make sure I'm not dragged down." Satisfied, she took her seat again.
  9. Üllr didn't like the threathening conversation at all. He was entirely out of his element, concerned more if the threats were going to devolve into actual hostility... it was draining just to stare at every one of the arrivals. "Haaah..." Eventually a trade was struck, which ended up working, and... Tio gave quite an ultimatum. He could feel that magic where he stood. It was the first time Üllr realized how strong she actually was. It was hard to calm down even as the assailants left. Apparently the red-haired woman was a princess of some sort too. "Hrr..." More people came, knights, Üllr felt ill at ease, though these ones didn't seem ready to fight. Instead, these were the ones coming for the stolen weapon. Hopefully the Clouded in Hecatia would be harrassed less now. Sighing, Üllr's attention returned to Sari, who seemed to be recovering from that blow, and moved to handle the knights himself. The wolf clouded winced, lowering his head. After a moment of introspecting, he walked towards the elf, finding the proper time to speak up. "...Sorry." ...He, wasn't exactly the best conversationalist, let alone at apologies. "I was careless."
  10. "Huh? Gah--" Before he could properly react, Üllr was grabbed and tossed by Versaris, who fell right after a magic thud seemed to almost crush him. Üllr winced, falling on the floor. "You..." He struggled to process, but first instinct made him feel immediate guilt. Versaris was like this because of his misstep. "Hng..." Lifting himself quickly, yet another deafening sound swarmed his senses. Gunshot, and Gean was not being held hostage. "Ah..!" Üllr grit his teeth, too frustrated at his mistake to risk another one, he glared. "Let her go." But what could he do? Right now, he felt like a hindrance, and right as his thoughts were all over the place, Versaris was stirring. "Ah!" Üllr found his bearing at that, coming to Saris' side to help him steady.
  11. "Eh..." So the village was the source of the smoke, and caused by the Hecatian knights no longer with them, no doubt. Üllr winced at the sight, being surprised by the old man as his senses were occupied. "Haah? I'm not--" The old man picked up quickly, so Üllr waited and heard his story. Apparently the village was protected by that red haired woman... did it match a group out there? It seemed like the last group that was left... "Oh." Oh no. "Than, Thank you. I will look for her." Wasn't exactly his wish, but Üllr felt like he had some big misunderstanding to stop. Far as he knew, the Iron Tigers were ready to clash with all leftovers... And he was pretty late, frowning at the scene he came back to. "Mrr..." With a growl, he shook his head, walking towards the group conglomerate... and seeing a red haired woman held by Aegean. "Her!" He rushed towards the elf. "What, what happened? A man said she save--" He stopped on his tracks, everybody was on edge, watching out for something. "Huh?" Even he could notice that, there was a tension in the air. What a nasty time to come back.
  12. "Hhh..." Noticing the others were engaged in combat, Üllr became aware his position... wasn't ideal. He'd need to get around the houses... Those living there had to be taking precautions with all that commotion around them, right? Üllr to 20-6, visit.
  13. "Haah... hahh... what?" Zeit's words were confusing. Apparently Üllr did something wrong, in this wolf Clouded's eyes, but how was he to trust said words when Zeit's peers were swinging pure weapons at them. "I don't understand. What do you mean..." Üllr stopped talking, noticing Zeit seemed too out of it to respond. Dropping to his knees, Üllr lightly pressed a finger to his neck. Still breathing. "Haah..." It was distressing nonetheless, taking Üllr out of his fight drive. "Who's this person? Are they bad for us... against us?" He felt worse hearing Iris' clear cry. Unfortunate, Alriana... seemed to lost control, and had taken quite the beating. "Hrr..." He breathed deep, he didn't want to be there right now, he needed some time... but this was still a battlefield. Maybe walk around... he could surprise the humans still fighting if needed, and could use the break. Üllr to 22-7, vuln his wounds some more.
  14. "Right..." Trying to make sense of Siorel's words while covered in wounds was too much effort. Fighting was easier. Besides... it was finally time for his rematch. "You! Why are you here?" Yelling, Üllr ran at Zeit's position. "You won't dodge again!" Üllr to 21-10, equip iron knuckles, fight Zeit one more time.
  15. His wounds were still mounting despite the healing magic's effect. Taking a deep breath, Üllr started applying ointment on his wounds, looking further at the potential foes... and there was a curious sight. He was pretty sure that was the man he lost to in the arena. "Grr..." Glaring straight at him, Üllr almost jumped straight to action, but he couldn't minister his wounds and do that all at once. "Ugh." "S-Siorel, can I...?" Whatever she did last time, it helped him go the distance, even if he didn't feel, uh, correct, asking for it. Üllr to 18-11, vuln up.
  16. And there went the ointment. Üllr was bleeding even more, managing to gut the mercenary in return with his claws before he could pull the claymore back. "Gah..." And more were approaching... this tactic was looking a bit hopeless... Thankfully, a magical feeling started to numb the pains of his wounds. Catching that second wind and still full of adrenaline, Üllr grabbed his weapons once more. He needed to push on, for everyone's sake. "GRAAAAAH!" Üllr to 17-11, attack fighter 5 with chakrams.
  17. Having to deal with the soldier and archer, Üllr finally sustained wounds to take notice again. The familiarity of throwing himself against weapons was a bit unpleasant... still, it was part of the job. He had to do his part to keep the others safe, in his mind. The salve didn't seem too complicated to apply either, thankfully, and in the moment he put the chakrams away, to relax his claws. Üllr to 16-14, unequip chakrams for claws and vuln up.
  18. "Eh...?" Siorel had tailed behind him, calling for his name. He mentioned a lovely lizard... was she talking about Iris? They'd barely talked since the city, so it was suprising to hear her concerns. "Hm. Yeah, I will." Iris didn't like it when he darted ahead of the others, but he wanted to avoid more hurt, Üllr was going to stick to what he knew best and strike first. Üllr to 13-15, attack Shaman 1 with chakrams.
  19. The enemies had a success in their offensive, taking down one of the knightly people that allied with them. Added to that, more were coming from the other side of the road, it was easy to hear the footsteps, They were loud to Üllr. "Hrr..." The others were quick to deal with the closest foes, Üllr advanced, though still not in close enough range to handle the others... Üllr to 11-17.
  20. "Sorry, Iris, just thought I could deal with that more." She seemed concerned that she charged ahead, but Üllr was just... used to it. Guess it was a bit wasteful when he wasn't alone, but still... Trying to consider his positioning for once slowed him down, making him pace his steps. For now. Üllr to 8,18
  21. And there the fight started, his neighbor taking a gruesome blow against her armor --takes a lot of guts. With the traded blows looking worse by the moment, Üllr felt compelled to take a lead... it was time to test out those throwing weapons after all. Seeing the wyvern, and now counting his chances against those tough scales, Üllr rushed to try his hand against the cavalier next to him. How far could these things be thrown effectively? Üllr to 8-20, attack Cavalier #5 with the chakrams.
  22. "Right." With support from others in the group, including the green horserider, Üllr wouldn't be risking things out alone, he helped lead the way, though the horses were wont to outpace him soon. Still managing to keep to the front somehow, Üllr and the others were confronted by a group of... mercenaries? Üllr didn't quite know the difference, but they were abled and armed, and had a distate for them the moment they saw the green armored lady. That would have to be enough evidence for now that they were up to no good. "That's a lot of them." Grumbling as he tried to count their numbers, Üllr stopped as soon as the beat of distant wings distracted him. There were still wyverns, right. Overall there were a lot of them, more further back for sure, and none too close to start throwing hands at. Frustrating. "Grr..." Üllr to (4,21).
  23. "Hmm..." It was true that it was a long way as detour, which could be bad for the rest of the group. Üllr, however, was more maneuverable than an entire group and their horses and contraption. "It's okay, I'll get closer." It made sense, and that was what he offered to do when he talked with Versaris earlier. Taking his leave, he followed the direction of the wyvern, keeping an eye to make sure he wasn't too easily spotted... and then he stopped. A fortuitous wind had blown on his face, it wasn't just a refreshing breeze... it came from their direction, and carried with it a faint but distinct scent. Üllr's senses could pick it up. Smoke. Getting closer, he was certain about it, there was a scent of smoke coming from that direction. There are many things that it could be... but he doubted the wyverns would make something that carried the scent in such short notice. He quickly turned around, backtracking decent distance before speaking up. "Smoke! The wyverns are not alone! I'm going closer!" If an altercation were to happen, he'd be the first to hear with his senses as well.
  24. Keeping an eye as they looked trough the forests, Üllr continued to wonder the kind of person the thief was. So far, no tracks off the road showed sign of recency. It was after a bit of scanning that Üllr remembered a fact throw by his captor knights --the thief had a pegasi. He'd have more luck finding signs of recent shelter than tracks. A development with wyvern knights was pointed out by one of the Evokers, and Üllr strongly agreed there was something up. If they were hunting a flier, bringing wyverns made sense. "I can go see what it is. Could be the person you were after." He spoke up, approaching Tio with a restless step.
  25. "Right, I'll talk to them." If there was a way Üllr could help, he'd do it, it was better than just leave this thief to their luck. And catching the person those greasy knights took for himself was a nice kind of feel. "Yeah. You can help too, Iris. If spread out, we can cover more before the sun goes down." And the sun coming down would certainly be annoying, at least for his sight. Conversation was not his strong suit, but it was nice to get an idea through. He'd just need to talk to the stacked women duo on their way to Islexia...
