Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zafirah looked at Mikhail when he looked at her for an answer. She didn't exactly know what would be happening, and with Niccolo not telling her about what she would be doing. She's wasn't ready to go without the detail that was actually there. "No." Zafirah responded with as she looked at Niccolo.

Niccolo looked down in shock, he didn't expect Zafirah to actually say that.

"Not until you tell me exactly what we're doing. What's going on Niccolo?"

Looking up, as much as he was glad for Zafirah giving it a chance, it wasn't something to celebrate. They would be putting their lives in risk anyway.

"Alright, well this is what's going on..." Niccolo began to explain.

After explaining what Kadir and Steven would be doing, he went on to their part, "... and now what you guys will be doing. Mikhail, we're going to see what we can do for training you with a sniper rifle. We're going to have to get you mounts. You're still young, snipers are powerful and will take your arm off. As for you Zafirah. We're putting you on bomb duty." Niccolo explained seriously.

"W-what bombs!?" Zafirah shouted in question.

"Hah, no, no. No worries, I'm kidding. Zafirah, your going to be in control of .. well really, control. You're making sure that everyone will know where to go and making sure that the people we don't want around don't go there." Niccolo explained. "Mikhail, if necessary that it comes to a problem. We'll need you to 'take out' some people. Of course we really don't want that to be the case... As much as we are Assassin's..."


"Yes.. yes that would work." Aidan said as he got up remembering about something, "Wait! I got it! I was saving this for just in case I wanted to make a something else, but the time hasn't come and I'm sure I'll just grab more. I saved some of the hard leather from when we were making our bracers. I know we didn't use much, but I wanted to add some to by bracer. Just haven't gotten around to it. We can use this!" Aidan suggested.

"I look like Kadir~! That's silly! He's like chocolate! Like a light chocolate!- Oh, but Kiran! Mmm... dark chocolate~" Azure said with a evil like face. "OM!" She yelled out as Kiran would now find Azure behind him and "nom-ing" his shoulder.

"Alright~! It looks like we all have our names I guess! We just need Flynn, Mikhail and Zafirah's. Oh and Aidan.. and Daniel. Okay maybe we don't all have our names. To think of it, I think the hardest one will be Daniel." Steven said as he looked around at everyone.

Azure nodded at Steven's remark, "Even I've noticed that Daniel really doesn't feel safe with all the Assassin like business.."
Mikhail was little surprised as well when Zafirah bluntly said no, but it made sense to him as she continued to ask exactly what was going on, and what they would be doing . He listened as Niccolo explained what Kadir and Steven were to do, and then went on to explain what they were going to need to do. His jaw almost dropped when Niccolo began to explain that he would be trained for sniping, he had never handled a snipe rifle, let alone shot one. He knew he had the aim for it though, it had been the one thing his father had been proud of him for. He supposed that it was the only thing that made him seem like he was actually his son. Like he was actually a Glazastov.
"Sniping... that's definitely the job of a Glazastov." Mikhail commented, not sure if he could even call himself that. He figured though that it would be better to associate himself with an alcoholic then it was a traitor of the assassins.

Mikhail stared at Niccolo as he then said that Zafirah would be on bomb duty. He was suck between being serious worried for her, and chuckling at how stereotypic Niccolo's suggestion was. He was glad when he then said that he had been joking, and that Zafirah would be in charge of arranging everyone.
"Well it sounds a little safer without bombs involved..." He muttered, not sure about what he felt about "taking out" people, but that was all a part of being an assassin he supposed. And being an assassin was all that he could ever do, aside from being a homeless guitar player.

Daniel listened to Aidan's suggestion and nodded.
"Leather would be great, it might be a little harder to sew it, but we can figure it out." Daniel answered, like that idea better than cardboard.

Kiran was about to agree that she definitely didn't look like Kadir, until she compared him to dark chocolate and began to gently bite at his shoulder.
"D-dark chocolate huh?" He commented, trying to hide his obvious arousal. Azure was proving way to much for his self control that day.

"Pfft, Daniel. Of course he isn't really into this assassin stuff! He's too... afraid. Of everything!" Kadir said as he rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, I've noticed that too... either that's his personality, or he's been through something. Maybe I'll check his file tonight." Kiran commented, a little curious. .

Yusuf walked towards the music room, and caught the conversation as he went in.
"Daniel hmm? I think the kid has some panic disorder." He commented with a shrug.
"Hey Kadir, Steven, I need to talk to you two about something." He said as he motioned for them to follow him away from the others.
"Aha, yes, yes. Definitely safer than bombs. I- Uh.." Niccolo became speechless as he realize that he did make the connection of a stereotype with Zafirah's race. He realized after seeing Mikhail snicking about it. "Err, sorry about the bomb thing. I didn't mean to actually put in that stereotype at all." Niccolo admitted awkwardly.

"Hah, don't worry about it, Niccolo. If you hadn't of said that, I wouldn't have realized it myself." Zafirah said quite calmly about it. "I read in some of your books, some reports also, about how America had quite the part in training you know who." Zafirah said with hint.

"Ahh, you saw those hmm? Well keep reading, there's plenty!" Niccolo responded. "Oh! Have you read the one about World War II being a world wide experiment?" Niccolo quickly asked.

"No I- wait- what!?" Zafirah quickly shouted.

"Uhhh, I shouldn't have said that one. Err, Zafirah and Mikhail. Forgot I said that for now, You both get your jobs correct? We'll talk later, for now I have to setup your training." Niccolo said as he walked out the door quickly.

Zafirah looked at Mikhail with wide-ish eyes from the info and the job they've been given. Hoping to hear some response as to what Mikhail thinks of all this.


"Hah! Yeah! It's a good things Aidan is with Daniel. Aidan's more of the brave one, maybe it'll rub off on Daniel.. On second thought, HAH!" Steven added to Kadir's thoughts about Daniel and the assassin business. "Though Daniel might not like that Aidan kinda hates the human race." Steven said with a shrug.

Releasing Kiran's shoulder from her teeth, Azure let out a "Waaahhh?" To question with the word, 'What'.

"It's Aidan, he's lived with Niccolo his whole entire life. Niccolo has told Aidan many stories about the past, what goes on in the world, why you shouldn't trust everyone and such. He just isn't the most fond of the human race." Steven explained.



"Ohh! Yusuf! Of course, let's go!" Steven responded excitingly as if Yusuf was calling him directly.

Aidan and Daniel continued making the beak of the hoodie, almost finishing the hoodie, they began to insert the hard leather that they had cut into shape. It seemed that Daniel was finished his. Only a few more adjustments to go. Aidan was just about to finish his hoodie attachment, when the lights began to flicker. Aidan looked up at the lights, he didn't expect another black out coming. He hoped it wouldn't be. Black outs aren't the warmest in the winter time, obviously.

Watching the lights, he came closer to Daniel as he knew Daniel would be a frightened a little.
"They trained a monster to fight Russia, and were surprised when it came back to bite them." Mikhail commented with a chuckle at the terrorist topic. He listened as Niccolo then said something about WWII being a worldwide experiment. He wasn't exactly sure how that could have been from what he had heard, but he assumed that he had only heard the Russian version of the war. He nodded to Niccolo as he left, and then looked over at Zafirah.
"So, we are now true assassins..." He commented as smirked.
"I still don't know what I think about this truly... I spent so much time trying not to be recruited to gangs, and here I am now part of something much more serious." He said as he shook his head.
"At least this one means something..."He then added.

"Of course he wouldn't. Raised by a Machiavelli." Kiran commented with a chuckle.
"Though, that Daniel kid doesn't exactly seem to be the most social. He probably has his own issues with people. I doubt he'd care too much what Aidan thinks." Kiran said then shrugged.
"Though I just met this kid so who knows."

Kadir looked over at Yusuf and frowned a little. He wasn't as excited to talk to Yusuf as Steven was. He had realised that Yusuf needed to return to Turkey, and that was probably what he wanted to talk to them about.
"Uh, yeah sure Yusuf." Kadir replied as he followed Yusuf out of the room and into the living room where Sadiq was sitting.
"What's up Yusuf?" Kadir questioned as they all sat down on the couch.

"Well, as I'm sure you've realised, I have to go back to Turkey." Yusuf stated and watched Kadir.

"When...?" Kadir muttered looking away so Yusuf wouldn't see how upset he was beginning to feel. He had finally seen him after so long, and now he had to go back halfway across the world again.

"3 days from now." Yusuf replied, he was fully aware of what Kadir's mood was, and he knew that he should probably get to the point before Kadir got angry or more upset. He knew how his brother could be.
"But hey, I never told you I was going to give you two bad news." He then said with a grin.
"I'm going, but you two are coming with us."

Kadir looked up at Yusuf in surprise.
"Wait- we are going with you?! Back to Turkey?" He asked, completely take by surprise.

Yusuf winked at them and nodded.
"Mhmm. You guys are coming to Turkey. The Only catch though, is you two have to do a really important and dangerous mission if you are coming..." He then said as he watched them for their reactions.

Daniel had just finished his hoodie when the lights began to flicker on him and Aidan. He stiffened, as he wondered what the cause of the flickering power was, and if it was going to go out fully. He was glad when Aidan moved closer to him, he was thankful that the other teen seemed to know when he was bothered by things, and what things bothered him.
Steven's face quickly turned to disappointment as he watched Kadir mutter. He knew that could only mean something bad. As they continued to talk Steven yelled out, "No way! 3 days?! Well you gotta teach us a bunch of stuff before you go-!" Steven said hoping to get the most out of Yusuf's awesomeness. Steven's hope quickly came true as Steven continued to listen that he and Kadir would actually be going to Turkey!

"Turkey! Yes!-........ A mission? A dangerous mission!? What do we have to do?" Steven wondered. he looked at his bracer as he knew that he would need a weapon. They were in the Assassin's Creed. A mission that included danger was an obvious that be needed something to protect himself. He wondered what his role would be.

"Speaking of Aidan and Daniel! We should go ask them of their names! Come on!" Azure said as she began to get up. Her and Kiran just walked out the door of the music room when they looked up to see the lights flickering. "Uh.. Oh." Azure said worried for the fact that Kiran would be without computers.

Niccolo came out from the kitchen and looked at the lights. "Hmm, this isn't good. I better see what's going-" Niccolo began to speak when the lights went completely off. "... on. Well, never mind that.

Flynn knocked on the door heavily trying to get in.

Niccolo ran to the door quickly to let who ever was on the other side. "Flynn? Are you okay?" Niccolo asked.

"Yes, Yes, I'm fine. I was in the back shed checking out something. It was hard snow out there a bit earlier, but not this bad. I came out of the shed to feel such winds and snow." Flynn said as he shook around. "Now! How about some food, hmm?!" Flynn said happily.

Niccolo chuckled, "I don't know about that yet. The power is off." Niccolo explained as he looked over to see Kiran reaction of the power being off.

Flynn looked at Kiran in the dark, "Kiran! You of all people must have a portal-able generator? don't you? I even have one. It was for some of my tools I have. It only has about half power in it at the moment though."



"Well this was unexpected. As least no snow is coming from the tower." Aidan said as he looked over to the hoodie where it was supposed to be. So much for finishing my hood- Hmm." Aidan turned on his eagle vision to see in the dark and quickly grabbed his hoodie and made the finish touch. "There, come on, let's go down stairs to see what's going on." Aidan said as he grabbed Daniel's hand. Aidan knew as much as they were both going to get red, nobody would see it. That and Daniel would have an impossible time walking around without his hand.

"Hmm, I still remember the arguments I heard as a little girl between neighbours and my parents. Riots outside, and so many different groups complaining about events like 9/11 and anything that made them feel ridiculed."

"We may be true Assassin's, but I don't feel like one. It's something that I'm going to have to learn and practice. I'm still very wary about the fact of Assassin. As much as there goal is true to the core, I see all the chaos that is ironic to the cause." Zafirah added to Mikhail's comment.

"I could be wrong, but .. it is something I truly want to be a part of. As much as my heart wants to learn more before going further into it. I think I can change that up a little bit." Zafirah said with a smile.

"Personally I like the way this feels more like a famil-" Zafirah began to say to Mikhail's comment of the gang business. Thing is, she was interrupted with the power going off. "Hmph, looks like it's music time hm? Nothing much to do but talk and get my violin." Zafirah said with a smile.
Kadir's moodiness quickly lifted as Yusuf explained that they would be going to Turkey with him, and that they would be doing a dangerous mission there. He could barely contain his excitement.
"We're going with you for a mission?!" He exclaimed, realising that it would be his first actual mission. His first mission would be back in Turkey, and would be dangerous.

"Not with me. It will be you two. You will need to infiltrate a Templar hideout, and Kadir, you will need to impersonate someone. You are impersonating a descendent to a very important man, whose memories we need. You will be stealing the information from the animus that that kid will have used." He explained, amused at how excited they were. He had expected it, this was Kadir, and his friend Steven seemed to be a lot like him.
"As For you Steven, we will have a chat with Niccolo. We still need to figure out all the details, but Kadir is going to need a partner for this, and I'm sure you are the one for that job." He then said with a with a grin.

Kiran nodded and closed his laptop, bringing it with him as he got up.
"Sure, though I don't know If they will know them on the spot like that." Kiran said, then looked up at the lights as he saw them flickering.
"Again?! But I already fixed that generator..." He grumbled to himself as the lights then turned off completely.
"Bhāṛa mēṁ jā'ō (********)..." He muttered to himself under his breath as he heard Niccolo.
"Yeah, I'll check the thing in a minute. I'll need a flashlight though." He replied to Niccolo. He looked towards the door as he heard someone pounding at it, and shivered as Niccolo opened it and Flynn came in, letting cold air and snow in with him.
"Frig keep that door shut... it's going to get colder then Zafirah in hear and I'm not looking forward to it." He commented with a chuckle.
"Of course I have one! it's not that big though, and it'll only really power my computers. So I better figure out that major generator, or we are freezing tonight." He then replied to Flynn as he opened up his laptop for lighting.

Daniel froze as the power then went completely out, and he and Aidan were left in complete darkness.
"Yeah..." He murmured as Aidan supposed that it was good that nothing was coming from the Tower again. He rubbed his eyes as they tried to adjust to the complete change in lighting, then watched as Aidan turned on his eagle vision and finishing with his hoodie.

Daniel blushed but Took Aidan's hand and stood up. He looked around but saw very little in the dim light Aidan's eagle vision was producing. It made him glad that Aidan wanted to lead him down. He was far too blind to get there himself.
"Maybe Kiran will fix it again...?" He suggested, hoping that he would. He didn't want to be more visually impaired then he already was. It made him wonder if they would all sleep in the living room again, like the last time. He wasn't sure if he liked that idea.

"I didn't hear much about 9/11 until a little after it happened. Things don't really get to Norilsk quickly. I heard it from my parents though, they were arguing a little about it. My dad only laughed at it, my mom was upset though. Being the only american in an old soviet town wasn't the greatest at a time like that." Mikhail commented, as he wondered a little how his mom had felt about the events. He had been too young to discuss it with her.
"Norilsk was full of far too many communists to have sympathy for america at that point." He said as he chuckled a little. The irony of America's situation had made many laugh at that point.

"We have only just learned of this, I guess it'll just take time for us to actually get into it." He then replied to Zafirah.
"We weren't born into this... we have never been around this kind of thinking. It's new." He added reassuring both Zafirah and himself that it was okay that they weren't totally sure about the assassins.
"I think I want to give this a go too. I miss being a part of something, I've been just a homeless teen for long enough. It's nice belonging somewhere." He then said with a small smile.

"This household is a family enough, even without the creed." Mikhail commented, then watched as the room was suddenly plunged into darkness.
"Guess so..." He commented as he grabbed his guitar. He realised how hard it was to play in the dark as he felt around for the frets.
Eventually, everyone made their way down the stairs or around to the hallway and living room.

"What's going on?" Aidan asked.

"It's the snow, there's a blizzard out there. I was just out there and it must have been to powerful for the generator." Flynn responded.

"Indeed. Kiran's going to take a look at it soon, while we have two portal-able power packs at the moment." Niccolo added.

Steven and Kadir being in the living room with Yusuf in the dark, they decided to continue talking, "Well anyway, let's talk about this more when everything straightened out?" Steven suggested as he heard everyone walking on in to the hallway. Steven began to walk there as Yusuf and Kadir were left together at the time.

Steven went over to Flynn and placed his hand on his shoulder, "Oiy Flynn. I got a request for you, something I wanna get in the next 3 days." Steven questioned.

"Yeah?" Flynn said as they walked towards the living room. "Do you think I could get maybe some sort of sword that I could keep hidden on me?" Steven asked.

"A sword? What's going on?" Flynn wondered. "I can get it for you no problem, 3 day's should be enough. As for hidden, what about a dagger?" Flynn suggested.

"A dagger? Can't a get bigger? Oh, and me and Kadir are going to Turkey for some sort of mission." Steven explained.

"Ahh okay, bigger? Well the daggers I make are pretty big.. but.. Hmm.. the biggest I can go for you without giving you a long sword, a 2 handed sword or anything like that would be a short sword. Anything bigger than that you won't be able to hide very effectively.


"Err... Alright, fine." Steven said with a shrug.


Azure looked at Kiran shivering, with a giggle she quietly said, "Mmm, frozen chocolate would be good right now."

Before Zafirah and Mikhail got to the bottom of the stairs Zafirah replied to Mikhail's comments. "Haha! Ahh I know about how Russia is. Personally I'm glad they're like that to America. I'm glad I don't live in America at all, I can't take anything they've decided as a country. Let alone there history that I've heard has been so manipulated and tamped with."

"It's definitely is better. Right now I would be in an Orphanage right now if it wasn't for Kadir and Niccolo." Zafirah added as they reached the bottom of the stairs.

Zafirah thought over the mission and thought something that would keep Mikhail quite entertain. Zafirah walked over to Niccolo, as busy as he was, she tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hmm? Oh, yes Zafirah?" Niccolo questioned.

"You said that Mikhail will be dealing with sniper rifles, right? Have you got your hands on a sniper rifle that he could take a look at?"

"Hmm, I do have one I know of. Of course it won't be the one that Mikhail will be using on the mission. It happens to be one of the known Russian sniper rifles. Oh, and middle eastern ones as well, only they came from Russia anyway. It's called a Dragonov SVD . I'll look for it." Niccolo responded. "The one he'll be using it much more known to be silent." Niccolo added.
Kiran felt his face heat up at what Azure said, finding it almost made up for the lack of heat.
"I'll definitely be frozen chocolate if I can't get the generator going!" He said as he checked his laptop battery quickly. He had about an hour.
"Kay,l I have an hour until this goes, so I better get a flashlight and get down to the basement." He said as he quickly went up the stairs to his room, with his laptop leading the way.

Kiran flashed his flash light on the generator, and grumbled as he noted the smoke rising from within it. He realised then that he may not be able to fix it. He knew how to do simple repairs, like the belt from before, but without the proper parts and research, he knew he couldn't fix it at the moment. It would have to wait until the weather cleared up more and he could get out to get a part.
He sighed as he set to work taking off the outer shell and examining the insides of the machine. He quickly found the problem, a part had cracked and broken off, jamming it'self into the machine. He turned the generator off just in case and began trying to pry the metal free. With quite a bit of yanking he had managed it, but when he turned the generator back on, nothing seemed any different.

Kiran swore and shook his head, as he accepted his fate. He would have to wait for the snow to clear to buy another generator.

Kadir nodded to Steven as he left then looked over at Yusuf.
"After that mission we have to leave, don't we?" He asked, wanting to know how long he really had left with Yusuf.

"Sorry kafadar (buddy)." Yusuf replied as he ruffled Kadir's curls.
"It's too risky in Turkey right now." He then added as he shook his head.

"But I'll be doing a dangerous mission, how more dangerous can it get!" Kadir shot back grumpily as he half heartedly glared at his brother.

Yusuf chuckled as Kadir's moodiness and shook his head again.
"I promise, you and Steven can come down and stay as long as you want, when everything calms down again." He then said with a smile.

"Fine..." Kadir muttered as he then moved forward and hugged Yusuf.
"I'm going to miss you, you know. This can't be like before where I never talk or see you for years." He murmured with his face buried into Yusuf's chest.

Yusuf shook his head and hugged Kadir back.
"Of course not! I'll phone you whenever I can and we can visit each other when it's safe." He reassured with a grin.

Mikhail nodded along to what Zafirah said, he knew how history had been quite manipulated. He knew though that america wasn't the only place. Russia was truly no better, especially with the censorship that the Communists had in place.

Mikhail followed Zafirah down the stairs, and to Niccolo. He listened in interest as she then asked Niccolo is he had any sniper rifles. His excitement began to rise as Niccolo responded that he did indeed have a few, and that one of them was a Dragunov SVD. He had heard of the rifle before, and knew of it's power. To actually use one was something like an honour for him.
"That would be great if I could see one and practice. I need to before we go." Mikhail stated, still very excited.


Mikhail awoke early in the morning, and smiled down at Zafirah, who was asleep beside him. The teens had all moved their mattresses down to the living room again, hoping to be warmer the night before. He sat up and yawned, and noticed Kiran awake and on his laptop, bundled in blankets over on one of the couches.

Kiran looked up as he heard someone wake up, and found that Mikhail was the first up.
"Привет Конрад (Hello conrad)" He commented in the little bit of Russian he knew.
"Think you can distract Zafirah soon, we have to set up for the party." He then asked as he set his laptop aside and yawned.

"Party...?" Mikhail questioned as he wondered what the party was for. He quickly realised though when he thought about the fact that he needed to distract Zafirah.
"Is it her birthday?" Mikhail asked quietly in response just in case Zafirah woke up.

"You didn't know...? Wow, no one told you. But yeah, apparently." Kiran responded with a shrug.
"Good luck with a present you poor b*****d.' He then chuckled Quietly.

Mikhail swore under his breath when Kiran pointed out that he had no gift for her. Christmas was reasonable, but not her birthday.
"I'll have to go out later I guess." He then stated as he bit his lip. He would have to get her something. Even if it was a day late. He was sure she would understand.
Niccolo stood at the door way after finding the sniper rifle they requested, he walked up to the door way and Mikhail had stepped out. "Mikhail!" Niccolo shouted. "Here we are! The Dragunov SVD. It has no bullets in it at the moment, but for the time there's no bullets. Take a look at it, examine it, and later I'll get you some practice rounds." Niccolo said with a smile. "Oh, and before I forget, take this." Niccolo added as he handed Mikhail a sniper mount.

"Zafirah over that way." Niccolo pointed with a smile, knowing that he was out here for her.



Zafirah walked through the snow, kicking it every so often. She knew people would be getting up very soon. As much as she was trying to get in a better mood and help herself by getting used to the snow. It was her birthday. The one day that she never had something special for it. It was because it isn't anything special to her. She grew up without ever having a birthday, her parents believed that birthdays were pointless and negative concepts. Every year was just another year closer to your death and closer to how much more useless you'll become, don't waste your time with birthday's and get what needs to be done.

"I lay, looking my hands
Search in these lines
I've not the answer
Crying and I don't know
watching the sky
I search an answer
I'm free, free to be
I'm not another liar
I just want to be myself... myself

And now the beat inside me
is a sort of a cold breeze and I've
never any feeling inside
ruining me...
bring my body
carry it into another world
I know I live... but like a stone I'm falling down

I pray, looking to the sky
I can feel this rain
right now it's falling on me
fly, I just want to fly
life is all mine
some days I cry alone,
but I know I'm not the only one
I'm here and another day is gone
I don't want to die...
Please be there when I'll arrive, don't cry... please


And now the beat inside of me
is a sort of a cold breeze and I've
never any feeling inside
around me...
bring my body
carry it into another world
I know I live... but like a stone I'm falling down

And now the beat inside of me
is a sort of a cold breeze-" Zafirah sang the song she usually does, but was stopped when she saw the sight of Mikhail no less then 5 meters from her. Her heart dropped from the fact of him being there, hearing the song she sung, but thought to herself in calmness, that there was no proof as to what she was doing.

Zafirah looked at Mikhail and tried to speak, "I-.. I'm getting better with the snow."

Aidan, Daniel, Steven, Azure and Flynn arose when Mikhail left the house. "So they're both gone?" Steven spoke out.

"Sure sounds like it." Flynn added.

"Well then let's get started. Give me anything that needs to be done high up." Aidan requested.

As Steven got up he looked down at Kadir and saw he was asleep. "But! Oh come on! You were up 5 minutes ago! b*****d fell asleep guys!" Steven said as he shook his head.

"Ahhh, let him sleep. He'll probably eat the cake that we need to bring out." Flynn said with a chuckle. "Then again.. I just might eat the cake. Better keep myself away from that area."

Azure smacked Flynn in the arm saying, "The cake isn't even made yet silly!"

"THE CAKE ISN'T MADE!? WHAT!?" Most of the kids spoke up.

"... Yeah? I'm making it!" Azure claimed.

"Dude! The power is out! We can't cook!" Steven explained.

"... Opps." Azure said with a cute smile as she rubbed the back of her head.

Niccolo walked in the door and looked at everyone being in a panic. "What's wrong everyone?"

"We don't have a cake. One of you guys go with Niccolo." Aidan explained.

"Hmm.. see, the car wouldn't be able to run out there. The snow is too much."

"Don't you have a snowmobile?" Aidan questioned.

"Ahh yes! I saw a snowmobile in the shed last night! We can use that!" Flynn claimed.

"Alright! Get dressed Flynn, I'll go get it ready and we'll go pick up a cake." Niccolo instructed as he went back outside.
Mikhail looked back as Niccolo called to him from the doorway. He turned and walked back over to the man, he was lucky he had only been a few meters away. His eyes widened as he looked at the sniper rifle that Niccolo held out for him. He could barely believe it. He took the gun gently and held it. It was beautiful.
"спасибо (thank you)..." He responded as he took the mount as well. He couldn't wait to get the practice rounds for it. He looked out into the forest as Niccolo told him that Zafirah was out there. He had figured, although he hadn't expected her to go out there herself. He was glad to see that she did though.
"Thank you, we'll be back later I guess. I'll get the rounds then." Mikhail responded as he turned and continued on , following Zafirah's tracks in the deep snow.

Mikhail smiled as he saw Zafirah walking, and began to hear her singing. As he got closer, he could hear her singing clearly. He smiled and almost laughed when she turned to see him, and and looked startled and slightly embarrassed, most likely because he had heard her.
"Sorry, didn't mean to intrude." He apologized then chuckled as she stated that she was getting better with the snow.
"I can see that, I'm glad you are. I don't want you to be too cold out here." He replied as he then held up the gun.
"Niccolo got it out for me, it doesn't have any bullets yet though." He explained, and wondered how much interest she truly had for guns. He was glad at least that she had been the one to ask Niccolo about it.

Daniel shook his head as Azure admitted that they had no cake yet, and Niccolo explained that the car wouldn't be able to get through the snow. He wondered how they could have forgotten something as important as a cake. He was glad at least that Niccolo remembered his snow mobile.

"If you have anything you need me to do, just tell me." Kiran announced as he yawned and typed away at his laptop again.
"By the way, I need all of your fake names." He then announced, knowing that he still needed Daniel, Aidan, Flynn, Zafirah and Mikhail's.

Kiran looked up from his laptop again as Niccolo spoke of a snowmobile.
"Snowmobile?! Perfect. Any chance we could go out for a new generator after you two get that cake?" He questioned, wanting nothing more then to have the power and the heat working.
He was pretty hungry too.

Daniel looked over at Kiran in confusion as he asked for their fake names.
"Fake names...?" He questioned as he looked over at the indian teen.

"Mhmm, fake names. You are an assassin, you can't go around with your real name. Though you real name really doesn't exist any more anyway." Kiran replied as he looked up at Daniel.

"I don't exist...?!" Daniel exclaimed, the idea of his name and identity no longer existing scared him.

"Don't fret about it. I have all of your information, everything the government once knew about you. If you leave the assassins, I can put it all back in, and you can go on your merry way." Kiran reassured.

Daniel nodded slowly, although he still didn't approve of the idea.
"Alright... so a fake name...." He murmured trying to think of something.
"I've always liked the name Caleb..." He stated, wondering what Kiran would have to say about the name.

"Caleb... seems fitting. It's Hebrew I believe, meaning something like dog heart." He replied as he then awaited a last name.

"A lastname now...?" Daniel stated, completely stumped.

"How 'bout Hayden?" Kiran questioned, feeling that it sounded good along with it.

"Uh, sure..." Daniel replied, he liked the name enough and had no problems with it.
"Impressive quality." Zafirah claimed to Mikhail's comments of the sniper rifle. "I wonder where you would be training with that.

"Also, can I talk to you about something? Today's my ... well... it's the day of my birth. My birthday in other words. I've never had a birthday.." Zafirah began to speak as she went on with what her feelings are towards her birthday. ".. and that's why I don't feel comfortable with celebrating. I don't really want a birthday because it's something I really don't want to face. I've been used to it already, I've been used to the fact of what my parents told me. Well.. my mother that is.." Zafirah explained.

"It's getting kinda cold, maybe I should go inside and get a hoodie or something underneath this.." Zafirah began to say as she look towards the house.

Aidan listened as Daniel and Kiran talked, continuing on with a fake name they would be needing to list. Aidan figured he'd go after Daniel and continue with the decorations.

"Eh Kiran, as for me, give me the name, Clyde." Aidan said as he thought over some last names, he knew that it didn't really matter, as long as it's believable. Aidan is Italian and he thought he would have a little fun with it. "Clyde... Auditore." Aidan said with a calm smile.

"Oiy Kiran. You can.. hah. You can call me Kirby." Flynn suggested. "It was my grandfather, mother's side. Got a suggestion for my last name?- Oh wait. Put in what ever you want, I'm going with Niccolo so." Flynn asked.

"A generator? Whew, well, I can try later. For now let's focus on the cake. A generator could be quite big, I'll see what I can do about getting parts, or something. Our's is fairly small, so I'll see what I can do about getting the same one." Niccolo replied to Kiran as he walked out the door with Flynn. "See you guys soon!"
Mikhail smiled and nodded, as he set the butt of the gun gently down in the snow and held the tip with his hand.
"Not sure yet, Niccolo didn't specify. I could be doing it out here for all we know. There isn't really anyone out here to notice." He replied, figuring that he could aim at the trees or the animals for targets. If Niccolo had anything better in mind, he was all for it.

He nodded as Zafirah asked if she could talk to him about something, and listened as she told him that it was her birthday, and that she had never celebrated one before. He knew he had to act surprised at the fact that it was her birthday, but he was genuinely surprised of the fact that she had never celebrated one, nor did she want to. That made him wonder if he should tell her about the surprise party being planned. He wasn't sure what to do.

"You've never celebrated a birthday...?" Mikhail questioned, still quite surprised of the fact. He supposed it could have been expected, considering the strict upbringing she has alluded to.
"I understanding you not wanting to celebrate if it's not what you are used too... though I think you should give it a try? What could hurt celebrating that you were born? It's a day to celebrate you." Mikhail commented as he moved a stray hair from her face.

Mikhail's tried to hold in his nervousness as Zafirah suggested that she go inside and get something warmer on. He shook his head and took off his coat.
"Here, no need to go inside. I'm more then warm enough in just a hoodie." He commented as he handed his jacket to her.
"You should have told me it was your birthday. I feel bad not having anything for you." He then added.

Kiran chuckled at Aidan's suggestion of a first and last name.
"Clyde Auditore hmm?" Alright then." He replied as he rolled his eyes and entered the name into a word document with the rest.
"It's believable enough, although Auditore isn't a common last name." He then commented.

Kiran looked over at Flynn and smiled at his name suggestion as well.
"Kirby? alright then. I'll get you a Gaelic or common irish lastname I guess then." He then commented as Flynn went to leave with Niccolo. He nodded to Niccolo about the whole generator problem, he knew that they would have to try to find a small one that could fit on a snow mobile.

Daniel really didn't know how he could help for the party and found himself feeling a little useless. He looked over at the kitchen as he heard the clicking of claws on tile, and saw Aslan looking around expectantly.
"Hey boy, what are you looking for..." He said quietly to him as he walked over and tried to think of what he could want. it was easy to figure it out once he noted the empty food bowl in the corner.
"Oh, of course." He commented as he went to find the food.

Daniel poured the food into the bowl and watched as Aslan quickly gobbled it up.
"There you go boy..." He then said quietly as he rubbed the large dog's ears.
"I really don't feel for one. I mean.. what's the point.." Zafirah replied with the sound in her voice sounding very unsure.

"Even if I did want one, kinda late now isn't it? Wouldn't people be really upset if I told them that my birthday was today and no one was prepared for it at all?" Zafirah questioned.

As Mikhail offered to give a jacket to her she replied with, "Oh, thank you very much." she said with a smile. "In curiosity of course. When is your birthday?" Zafirah asked as they strolled through the snow.

Aidan looked at Kiran with a sigh, "Hey, as long as it's believable I'll have some fun with it. See I would use the format of old Italian, but you see, they don't use the city name format anymore. I liked it personally. Do you think it would be believable if I used it? Say like, Clyde Auditore De Monteriggioni?" Aidan wondered.

I few minutes pasted by and they seemed to be pretty much done with what they needed to set up.

"Alright." Aidan said with a stretch, "Hopefully Niccolo and Flynn get back soon with the cake and then Zafirah can come in! I wonder why she never said anything." Aidan said with curiosity.

"Not sure, but I would ask Kadir if he was AWAKE!" Steven said with a shout hoping Kadir would hear. "Ugh!" Steven said with a laugh. "I love him dammit, but sometimes him sleeping in can get annoying. Aha."

"I hope Niccolo remember's that he'll need at least two cakes~!" Azure said out loud.

"Oh he better! I wonder what he'll get." Steven added.

"Hey Kiran, when the power does come back on that is, how does the animus work on the fact of memories. What I mean is, can you choose a random memory even without a label on it? Or does it choose one for you?" Aidan questioned.
