Throlyn walked past a few people, and looked at them briefly then ahead again. "I wonder who else is apart of the military." He thought to himself, as he shifted the bag holding his military uniform over to be fully on his back, and let out a light sigh. His light teal hair blew in the wind, and wolf ears poked out from them, his ears. They twitched and returned to hide within his hair, for they were the same color. He looked back to the two that were chatting, hoping they didn't see anything. I"m sure they didn't see anything ,but i could be wrong. Kind of hard being a Half-demon as it is. He thought to himself, as a small wolf pup jumped up onto his shoulder and licked his face. "Hello Fang, fancy you didn't come up sooner." He said, as he tilted a head to peer at the female alpha, in her pup form. He gave her a nod, for only he could understand and hear what she was saying, for she only talked in front of himself and other Wolf demons of his tribe. Throlyn took his sword and rested it on his free shoulder that, the wolf wasn't sitting on and continued to walk about. He seemed to enjoy being alone, seeing he felt like an outcast his entire life.I wonder if I'll get to be under my sister's command when I get to the military base. He thought to himself, as he sat down on a bench, gave a piece of dried meet to the wolf pup, and took out a picture of his sister and looked at it, then placed it away, and took a sip out of a flask filled with cold water, and kept to himself.

Freya Dergunri
Eating her food happily, Freya partially listens to Siel as he speaks. As another train pulls into the station, she looks up towards the doors and quickly puts up the rest of her meal. Watching the doors open, she tries to keep herself from getting too exited about who may walk out. As new people exit the train, she studies each of them quickly. Her amber eyes jumping from one person to the next as she takes in as much detail about them as she possibly can.
Watching the first one that exited the train, she notices they seem to be talking to them self before taking something out and begins to read it. Hmmm, wonder if the note is from a loved one wishing them luck. she thinks to herself before wandering on to the next person who walks off the train.
The second individual she picks out of the group is a young man that seemed to be wearing a kind of tailored suit. Freya thought it was a bit odd and tilts her head to the side slightly before simply shrugging and moving onto the next group of people.
Watching as a young woman and man both left the train she couldn't help but laugh softly at how they interacted with each other. To her it appeared as if they were very close. Although the difference between friend close and something more close was a line that Freya tended to blur a little bit with those around herself. Her own views on herself personally with such topics is something that she always avoids.
Finally her eyes came to rest on the last individual to leave the train. This person was a bit odder than the others. Watching them, she sees them interact with some kind of puppy. This of course instantly lead Freya to thinking that it was adorable and then she wanted one of her own.
Taking a few breathes, she looks over at Siel before speaking again. "Looks like others have shown up now, I wonder how they will put us into squads." she says thoughtfully before looking up, clearly not paying attention to anything any more. "Some of the people see really close...."
Siel finished a little more of the food Freya had so kindly given him, and then he closed the lid of the box and kept it in one hand.
"I wouldn't call it close, so much as stuck, haha." Siel joked.
"Lets meet them." Siel said confidently, offering his free hand to Freya as he stood up. It wasn't so much that he thought she needed help standing, just that it was a friendly and encouraging gesture to give her confidence too.
OOC: Need to head to work now. Won't be back until like nine hours from now o.e

Throlyn
As his wolf companion hoped down and looked towards something, her form became larger, and she was watching something. This caused Throlyn to reveal his wolf ears and he stood up, turning towards the sound, as his ears returned to hide in his light teal hair. Looks like we've company. He thought to himself, then he quickly looked towards the direction of which the movement sounds were coming from. "Fang, to me, and stand down. We shall await them." He said to the wolf, and in a nod she walked over to his left side, and sat, her keen eyes not moving away from the approaching figures. I do hope they haven't seen my true ears, that might be an odd explanation, granted they've never encountered a Half-Wolf Demon. Throlyn thought to himself, as his sword laid by his bag, waiting it would appear to be doing. so, Throlyn awaited what would come next, his teal eyes watching everything.
A deep breath would push its way past Caelum's lips. To any normal observer, the sigh would seem to portray impatience, but in reality, the redhead was doing her best to calm her anxiety. As her train ride dragged on, she was not dreading the days to come, but rather was overly eager for them. For the last year her anticipation for this day grew, and now it was finally here. She was getting ready to disembark from the train that brought her closer to a future she was supposed to make for herself. Caelum didn't believe in failure, but any accomplishments she would make in the Muse Military would bring honor to a family that was in desperate need of redemption. The name Ystride was infamous, and she wanted to change that. This train ride - quite literally - lead her out of a haunted past and into a future she was in control of. Not only did she want to do her name proper justice, but a journey of her own was finally about to begin.
And, it felt damn good.
Once the smooth riding train came to an easy stop, Caelum was the first to rise from her seat, but one of the last to exit. Much to her dismay. A duffle bag was held tightly against her chest and her over stuffed backpack made it difficult to not smack everyone she pushed by. Although she'd murmur quiet apologies, she'd continue on in her hurried fashion until she deposited her hefty belongings into the Military Drop Box. They'd be relinquished with a huff, and when she was able to straighten herself out, she readjusted the satchel's strap that crossed over her chest. While doing so, she began to walk forward, but a few strides would lead her right into the back of a silver haired man. Unfortunately, Caelum would not fully register this due to her focus on her satchel's twisted strap. She'd collide with him, looking up at the last moment, but it would be too late.
"Mmph--" Although startled, the redhead would shuffle a couple steps backward after the shock of running into another person caused, "Sorry! That was my fault." The uneven strap had been forgotten and her attention was entirely set on the man she'd run into. Caelum's expression had twisted into that of slight annoyance, more-so at her own clumsiness, but she sounded sincerely apologetic for running into him. From the look of his current attire, it was hard not to assume he was also being inducted into the Military. Had he been any other normal civilian, she might have just apologized and continued on her way, but if he were in the same boat as she, why not linger? At least, if he didn't take too harshly to her mistake, she would.

"...Hey, get back here!!"
Frantically chasing off towards the direction of the note, the boy had finally caught up to the small piece of paper and clenched it tightly in his hand.
"You aren't going anywhere anymore..."
As he said this, he immediately took notice to the scene which he was ignorant to from the beginning. In front of his eyes was the whole view of Inner City and looking back he had caught another sight, the sight of bustling train station brimming with new students as well as other people.
"Woah! The mistress would've loved to see this"
Looking at the student, he wondered to himself if maybe he could asked some of the students. There were two who were casually eating, his hunger not being that severe, he thought that maybe he could eat out somewhere in the city. There was another one who invited him awhile back, but too shy to react, he had stood still like a tuna, hoping she taught he didn't notice.
"A country bumpkin like me, sticking out like a nail would seem imminent."
Looking at his clothes, he wondered if it was the best option to wear his only casual clothing. Wearing a flatcap, a brown jacket with a white long sleeve , brown pants, and leather shoes. He looked like he was someone from another decade.
"I could've worn the butler outfit as well, but I doubt it would've help my cause."
Wondering how it got to this, he wondered even further why he was here in the first place. His late parents were quite vague when they gave their last will to his Mistress's parents when they gave them the explicit instruction to enroll him to the Military when he had reached the age of 19; aside from that, almost everything he's learned was from the other servants, and or at times, his Mistress's father. Farming, Polishing Cutlery, Cooking, Alchemy, Smithing, Martial Arts, Exorcism, Slapstick comedy, most of the things he was taught were just only the fundamentals of being a butler.

OCC - Sorry for my introverted open-thinking; also, does Polishing Cutlery even count as a skill?!
Looking up at Siel, Freya smiles. Pulling her bag strap back over her shoulder she takes his hand and quickly stands up. Looking around, she sees the individual that happened to be reading something from earlier. They had moved since she last spotted them and now they seemed to be a bit out of place. Tilting her head slightly, she points over towards them before she even thinks about her actions or how she words things.
"Siel, that person over there looks a bit lost. Maybe they are a student too. Could we go talk to them?" she asks, her voice going softer then earlier and almost like she was in a daze of some kind or not completely herself. Blinking a few times, she realizes how she spoke and shakes her head quickly. "Sorry! Not certain what happened right then. I think I zoned out for a second when I spoke." she says with a laugh, forgetting that her hand was in his as she moves to start walking towards the lost individual.

OOC: Work has been super busy, but I have a fair break now. Back to the important stuff!
Suddenly, very much was going on. With the arrival of the next train, a new pool of people began to flood the area. Siel remained observant while it all began to unfold in front of him.
Freya: @ Siel: "Siel, that person over there looks a bit lost. Maybe they are a student too. Could we go talk to them?"
Chitori: @ Nate: "Nate-kun, Don't make me fight you again." @ Shiki and Saburo: "It's so nice to meet you all! I'm Chitori and that's-" She noticed Nate's scarf was a bit out of place. With a frown, she gracefully made her way towards Nate as her hands reaches up and fixed his scarf slightly. "There we go.", "So! What do you say, let's all eat at a same place and get to know each other?"
Nate: @ Chitori: "So, are these others who are joining the Military?"
Getting up, Siel walked towards the others who had arrived from the train and decided to stick around, and stopped in the unofficial middle of them all, so that everyone was roughly an even distance away from him in all directions. He spoke just loud enough for everyone to hear him, but just quiet enough not to seem like a public announcer. He had overheard their names, but didn't want to call them by their first names until given permission to, or as introduced, as calling someone by their first name before they've personally introduced themselves to you is a bit rude.
@ Nate, Shiki, and Chitori: "It seems we're all here for the same thing, everyone. We're the newest recruits for the Muse State Military. I'm guessing we're also all part of tomorrow's induction."
Siel attempted to attain everyone's attention, and remove the mystery of whether every second person was here for the same reason or not.
@ Nate, Shiki, and Chitori: "We all have nothing to do for the rest of the day, I take it?"
Turning towards some others who had also stayed at the front of the station after alighting from the train, he gave a partial smile and kept his body language friendly, and spoke clearly. He didn't yet know their names, so he improvised.
@ Caelum, Saburo and Throlyn: "I believe you three are also here to join the Military. Are you part of tomorrow's induction as well?"

xxxxxxNarration Text | Important for all participants. xxxxxxJust as Siel had finished addressing the others who were waiting outside the Central Train Station, a soft-toned, but nonetheless loud jingle began to sound from atop the Station's xxxxxxCommServer Tower, signalling the start of a News Announcement.
xxxxxx"Greetings Citizens,", the announcement began formally. "This is a morning news update with Muse KayTel Limited."
xxxxxxA short pause, before the content of the announcement was played. xxxxxx"The Muse State Military is continuing to play down claims that 'Evergreen', the Leader of the notorious anti-government force 'Forest', is still alive. The Muse State's finest last xxxxxxmonth raided what was believed to be Evergreen's Central Operations Centre in the Western-Muse Everglade segment, and have publicly announced their claim that they xxxxxxsuccessfully found and killed the rebel figurehead."
xxxxxx"While the Military maintains that they took every precaution necessary to ensure that the person they'd taken down was indeed Evergreen, some remain skeptical."
xxxxxxThe announcer stops speaking, as a recording of an interview with a civilian is played. xxxxxx"How can you know that the man you've killed is the man you think he is? Evergreen has never once shown his face, and any single person in this State could have been wearing, or xxxxxxhave been forced to wear, his clothing and facemask at the time the Military struck."
xxxxxxThen, the interviewer replies. xxxxxx"So, you think it could have been a fake, or a stand-in that was taken down?"
xxxxxx"What I think is, there's no true way for anyone to tell if a person was Evergreen or not. Evergreen is a man in a mask -- he doesn't have an identity beyond that. How are we to know xxxxxxthat Joe Schmo wearing the same getup was indeed him? Its ******it, and the Military should be careful how quickly they claim to have taken down such a powerful man -- and let's xxxxxxnot kid ourselves -- a rebel he may be, but he's still powerful. Surely you'd think it a bit convenient that your forces are able to corner him and take him down, and identify him no less, xxxxxxin his own headquarters."
xxxxxxThe recording of the interview ends, and the initial announcer continues. xxxxxx"A terrible thing to imagine, however the Military ensures us that they had multiple leads to prove that the man they killed was indeed Evergreen. DNA samples, Dental Records and xxxxxxFingerprints, all delivered by top spies stationed in the rebel faction back up their claim, and to top it off, no further communications, threats or attacks from the faction have come to xxxxxxpass since. While their leader may be gone, the faction itself presents its own threat, and the Military has vowed to keep up the fight, to protect the state and city of Muse. They ask xxxxxxthat we stay vigilant and always be aware of our surroundings. Your everyday help can make all the difference."
xxxxxxThe announcement ends there, and while a bit daunting, such publicity towards danger has become normal during times of increased anti-government activity. For most, they'd shrug xxxxxxand continue about their day, but for those who haven't been in Muse very long, it'd strike a nerve or two.

Throlyn
Throlyn was the last to join up with the others assembled, and listened to the announcement. I care not for the news, it's all lies. I just want to get to the base and begin my career. He thought to himself, and as if nodding to agree, Fang gave the boy a nod. He grabbed his bag and sword and awaited for what came next, whether it was a speech or a proceeding to the base. Well, this seems to be taking too long. I despise waiting ,but I guess I'll have to, like the rest of these assembled. Throlyn thopught to himself, and to pass time he decided to examine all assembled, while he waited.
"I guess Scooby-Doo and the guys were wrong, Old Man Jekins wasn't the true culprit after all..."
What followed after such an hollow reference was an almost deafening silence. He knew too himself that that joke was of bad taste and the situation that they were in wasn't really the best time to be making such comments. But in the mind of the young man, a different thought had came up, instead he had remembered what his mistress would've said to him...
"No,No,NO! You're doing it all wrong. What you should have said was monkey see, monkey do. I guess apes really do like following their Ceasar or maybe, I bet the officials are Ever GREEN in envy!"
"Even in head, seriously?!"
"Yes seriously. Now get back to the story-line!" *4th wall repaired yet again.
He still had lingering thoughts over leaving his mistress's side. He wondered things like, how the lady was fairing without him. Would she brush her teeth after eating? Will she play only two hours of COD without cussing at the noobs? will she ever start finishing her draft for her doujinshi for Winter Comiket? all these thoughts bothered the young man, it was not until he told himself that she was already a grown women(18 actually) that he got a hold of himself.
"Maybe I should take up that offer of that lively upperclassmen-looking student I saw a while back..."

__Moving to one side, as the silver-haired man allowed the others to depart the transport without causing any issues, he would be stopped by a woman. Though his first inclination was to decline whatever it was, Saburo would allow her to speak first. It was a sign of respect and eventually he would want the same in return. Taking in a deep breath, he smiled and lifted up his right arm to wave. Each notion felt stupid, especially during the process of acting them out in a public place.
__"I appreciate the offer, very much." He spoke in a light tone, with no wavering emotion behind his speech patterns, as he brought up his left arm. Looking at his watch, the time had already reached XX:XX. Taking a quick moment to himself, pausing enough that people could tell he was thinking, Saburo would begin devising a strategy for the rest of the day. "I cannot consume food for another 3 hours, which will in turn give me the ability to work out again, if it is needed, before bed." Nodding once more, he'd smile with that idiotic expression people used to friendly encounters before being ran into by another person from behind.
__The thump shook the man's placement, but only enough to take two steps backwards. Turning to face the one that had just crashed into him, her words insinuated that what she had done had been her own fault. It was quite clear to him that it was, in fact, her fault. Saburo, just moments before had even moved more than enough out of the way to not be damaging the flow of people from the transport, and she still hit him. "Indeed, it was your fault. However.." Using his hands to push the invisible particles from his clothes, the man would stand straight up once again. "It's fine. I will just pay more attention to the direction others are walking to avoid such a direct meeting again."

One of the guys, the raven haired one wondered off and declined her request. Now, the silver haired male on the other hand prevented her from hugging him as she tilts her head softly. She noticed of how planned he was. Part of her wonders if he has OCD or was he overachieving? She cannot imagine living that kind of life, after all, one really does need to stop and smell the roses. Before she could respond, a female ran into the silver haired male as they both crash onto the ground, a wide grin was seen on Chitori's face as she glanced towards Nate. She tilted her head softly and shrugged as she stood by his side, "Almost seems like watching the start of a romance movie," She teased slightly, her voice whispering in Nate's ear, hoping to get a smile or a smirk out of him. At least Nate may get what he wanted. After all, he was not, a people person and she knew it. But she wanted him to become comfortable. They may not get to go to the same squad. Even then, she'll always have his back. She wanted him to start making new friends. To make new allies.
It was then, another raven haired male approached them as she listened to what he had to say. His guess was right for Nate and herself; she was unsure for the others. Hearing his question, she glanced towards Nate for a moment before looking at him, "We haven't eaten yet and we are planning to do that. However, it can be a quick bite." She suggested towards the raven haired male in case the plan wasn't to eat but to get to know each other. Before anything else could be said, she listened to the announcement. She said nothing. After all, Chitori was extremely well in hiding her emotions. She acted like nothing happened, that it just rolled off her shoulders as she remains with her warm and caring personality. She stood by Nate's side, but only a bit of a distance, to some, their body language may mean that they are just very good close friends.
Watching Siel walk away, she stops in her tracks and thinks for a moment before joining him. As she gets closer, she stops suddenly. The announcement that was made was something that she wasn't expecting. So Evergreen is dead she thinks to herself before shaking her head. Impossible. That man has been plaguing Muse for a long time. I doubt he would just up and die so suddenly by the hands of the military. If he did, then possibly something else is at work here.
Letting out a soft sigh, she looks out towards the direction of the larger buildings in the distance. As her mind wanders, she remains in the same spot she stopped in and seemed to become completely oblivious of what was around her. Freya payed no mind to the people walking through the terminal and all thoughts of the other students who would be joining the military left her mind. Having grown up in Muse for a time, she was used to hearing all kinds of news on different rebellion type of groups. Even Evergreen's group was one she was some what familiar with since her mother often sent her news about such things when she was away from Muse.
Without thinking about it, she sits down on the station floor. Her eyes still seem a bit out of focus but her face showed that she was thinking on something rather intently. Closing her eyes, she takes a deep breath in and lets it out. After just a few more moments of this she stands up and looks back at Siel. Turning her head, she looks at the young woman who had addressed her friend after the announcement was made.
"We had a small lunch but I don't see why we can't still chat while you guys enjoy a meal. What do you say Siel?" she asks with a smile.
