Dakota was almost through the damned training. Hell, he almost was done. Just one more...and then..YES!
He grinned as the wall he set up withstood the attack and his little princess thing survived the onslaught of attacks. Pleased with himself for being a good moon, he rewarded himself by taking a visit to the Princess point obeservation point, looking into the distance. The princess doll was flopped over the rail like...
"Yeah I know I saved your life babe, but your really not my type...." Was all he said to the doll before turning on his heel. He had other things to do, like maybe go hit on Molly or one of the life ladies. Since the moon team was SEVERLY LACKING IN SEXY LADDEEEEEEZ.
He almost missed the door as he passed. Almost...if it hadn't been been rainbowly colored with bright letters and small hearts. His heart ached a little as he read over the words.
"Moonbase".........Eyeing it warily, and being a moon in the moon training grounds, he wondered just what would make Julie color a random dorm. Curiousity won out over the instinctual fear of running where ever Julies "magic touch" was. he'd probably regret this later. Taking a deep breath, he opened the door and blinked as he looked in.
And then his eyes kind of sparkled.
"I didn't think a Moon common room existed here!" Was all he said, stepping in. Construction materials every where. of course in blinding and muting colors. Obviously Julie got some say in what was in here. That and a whole wall filled with First aid kits. He touched one of them and shrugged. Not bad digs he mused as he flopped down on the couch, Too far out but then...he could tell Marcus and Harrison about it later too....

The loud sound of a blender sounded from the base's small kitchenette. The inside of it looked like the seventies and eighties threw it up after binging on rum and acid. The appliances where all ancient, had various runes just ducktaped to them, and looked at if they would come alive and give Dakota a decent fight if it weren't for the compact woman forcing them to do her bidding. An empty egg crate sat on the counter, along with several vitamin bottles, nutritional powders, fruit peels, a bottle of tobasco sauce, and half a package of bacon.
Holding down the lid of the blender Edith poked her head out, frowned at Dakota, and then went back to concentrating on her lunch preparations.

Dakota was oblivious to the sound for a second before he heard it. Something churning. Curiosity again....always got the better of him. HE ALMOST MISSED THE SMALL HEAD POKE THROUGH TOO but female...he honed in. Like a missile.
He studied the small set up in the kitchen.....looked like something his mom would like....or his grandma....and those appliances....were they still legal in this day in age? At least they were held together by the all american cure all: Duct tape....oh and hunter runes helped too... He just shrugged it off, unless the pieces some how came to life, there was no need to worry? Right? Moon was not prone to crazy things like that happening....
He was more interested in the petite female currently blending a mix of foods. Turn on: a woman, a dark skinned beauty forcing the blender to churn whatever s**t she was making. he wondered if she could handle other things that shook like that. (jeez Dakota get your mind out of the gutter)
"I didn't realize there was such a beauty here..." He cocked his head as he studied her. He was sure he had seen her somewhere before, briefly. "did we meet in a past life?" He grinned, arms crossing to lean on the door jamb.
Dakota obviously got his pick up lines the same year the appliances and this whole room was in fashion.

The blender whirred to a stop and Edith inspected it's contents, obviously finding it more interesting than whatever nonsense the trainee was spouting. It gave a satisfying blorp sound, so she left it alone to settle for a bit. Finally she turned and looked up at Dakota. And up. And up.
Edith frowned, "I don't buy into that hoo-ha. You're Dakota Rainstar, correct? One of the lambs?"

"Don't buy into past lives and reincarnation? Shame." He stood a little straighter as she eyed him over, making sure she got to see all the goods, tucking his hands in his pockets.
His eyebrow rose though in surprise as she got his idenity on one try. Oh so he had a fangirl already! Lucky him! He'd have to tell Marcus and Harrison that Moonsync really was working for attracting the ladies.
"Yep, I'm Dakota. Not lamb...anymore I think." He was pretty sure she was referencing to his innocence or something. "Are you sure we haven't met before? I feel like I've seen you somewhere before..." He frowned, "Maybe my dreams? I often dream about chocolate. You know they say the darker the chocolate, the richer the taste...."
:'DDDDD

She gave the boy a narrow look, "Weren't you paying attention during the briefing? Or is your memory just that bad?" There was no right way to answer this question Dakota. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the mention of dark chocolate had her snapping her fingers and opening up drawers. After a moment she'd found a dark chocolate candy bar and dumped it into the blender. "Knew I was forgetting something..."
Suddenly the smaller woman smiled up at Dakota and stuck her hand out, confidently introducing herself, "I'm Edith Carr."

"One too many hits with the insanity tends to make one's head a little bit lacking on the memory components of the brain." Dakota grinned, clearly unshamed at the fact that he did in fact have a horrible memory. Or was he covering up the fact he just didn't remember her name. Dakota tended to forget girls names after a day or too...Maybe he gave her a nickname! nicknames helped.
"Edith?" He blinked, shuffling through the memory banks intact and blanched. Realization hit like a punch to the face. He was totally hitting on his division's lead. That's where he recognized her from! From the Horsemen islands....
Oh well, He had done worst things. No need to panic cause he was hitting on the Moon division's boss lady. Yeah Dakota, hitting on the boos...like a baus. :U
"Are you sure that's good for that mixture?" He leaned over, looking as the chocolate bar disappeared in the goop. "That looks like something threw up baby food, ate it, then threw it back up again." He eyed it warily. Okay well, he didn't know much about his boss lady. And if she was anything REMOTELY close to being like Julie, eating or inquiring about drinking any kinda of food/drink would end up Dakota floating away like a balloon, or gaining boobs. he was okay with the second, not the first.
"Nice to formally meet you boss." Dakota took her hand, surprised at her her strong and calloused hands. Then again, this was Dues. "If I had known that I was trying to woo boss lady, I would pulled out something a little more sweeter. You know, speaking of sweet. Can I ask you opinion on something. Is it true what they say? The darker the berry the sweeter the juice?"
Dakota stop leering, it makes people uncomfortable.

"Listen up, Dakota," Edith gave him a stern look, "...I know my way around a protein shake, okay? It may not be pretty, but let me assure you that it will be both delicious and nutritious." Giving the blender a final go, she went to grab two large glasses from the cupboards, at she reached up on her tippy-toes, the leader continued, "And I don't know about any woo-ing. That sort of thing involves flowers," she glanced at him and noted the distinct lack there-of, "...and dressing up." Another glance. Finally grabbing hold of the glasses she set them down, stopped the blender, and began pouring the drinks. "Or at least remembering the woman's name. You live on island, it's not as if you have to remember many, and that pool's shrinking all the time. So there was no wooing. You try to woo me, you better do it right or you get out of my kitchen."
At the mention of berries, she reach in and grabbed a small carton of blackberries and tossed a few in before sliding a glass over to Dakota, "Well? Try it and tell me. Never noticed as such myself."

"I have no doubts that you would know your way about a protein shake Ma'am" He sombered, looking the mysterious goop over, "I question the idea that there are variable foods inside this said Protein concoction. And I remember a certain Julie assistant that would make the moon division her personal taste testers.....among other things." He raised a eyebrow at the female hunter.
"Really?" Dakota rested a hip on the counter she was currently working around and frowned. "Flowers are the way to your heart Edith?" He grinned, "and dressing up? That sounds like a cheesy beginning to a romantic movie..." Which probably had more action then Dakota was doing now. Don't hate Dakota, Appreciate. "No offense Edith, I remember you being Moon leader, and I remember being pissed at you. Over Julie's death and all. So to me you were the big scary moon leader who didn't give two shits about trainee's. Though to be honest, I probably got mister scythe up his a** to influence my opinion of leaders too. I'll apologize for not remembering your name though..." He shrugged again.
"Alright? Do you want to go on a date then Edith? I get leave coming up in August and don't mind spending it with you to attempt a proper wooing with you." He smiled. The smile faltered though as the drink was pushed towards him.
Eyeing it, then her....he pursued his lips before giving in. Might as well drink it. "Here's to hoping I'm still a young studly male after I drink this." He picked it up, "Cheers." He saluted her with the glass before taking a drink.

"Julie had a habit of mixing those minipet things into her recipes. Or other sorts of Halloween food. I prefer just to use regular food meant for human beings," Edith explained matter-o-factly.
"Well I am the big scary moon leader," she gave him a narrow look, and there was a warning note in her tone. Was implying that she was short? "There just happened to be bigger issues to deal with this past year, what with the end of the world and all. The battlefields I was on at the time were no place for trainees...or Julie. Regardless, apology accepted."
The corners of her mouth tightened slightly. She didn't want to do feelings talks here if she could help it, nor was there any need to get defensive at a few words from a trainee who didn't know any better. Picking up the change of subject with no little relief, she looked Dakota up an down. "Date, huh? You've still got some growing to do, Rainstar. Drink your shake."
The leader knocked back half of her own, and made a small, satisfied sound, "Perfect. Hey those berries did make it nice and sweet." Dakota would find the drink to be an interesting medley of flavours that bypassed his ability to properly describe them as a whole. It was less a drink and more an experience. No magical side-effect occurred, but the trainee would spend the rest of the day pretty much wired and full of energy.

Dakota held up a hand and then frowned.
"Julie used to mix FEAR into our food and drinks?" Dakota just blinked...was going to say something. Couldn't....just sighed. "Okay." Was all he said. It had been...Julie after all.
"Hence why I am not so busted over it." He sighed, "Your very big and very scary." he reprimanded himself, though...there was a huge grin plastered all over his face. "I'll remember that. You'd have to deal with bigger s**t then we did..."
"Yes Ma'am" He nodded, finishing the shake. It was good after all. Never doubt a moonie. "It was better then I thought, I feel like....awesome." Dakota grinned, taking Edith's hand and kissing the knuckles. "Thanks for the drink. And ah, Tell me when I've grow enough for your taste Boss, I'll hold you to a date for the future?" He grinned, "that is...If I make it through the trainee years..."
He let her hand go, still eyeing her. Okay now he needed to do some workout or something. He was wiiiiiiiiiireeeeeeeeeeeed.

The leader gave him a narrow look, but decided not to kick him in the junk for being a condescending s**t. This time. The decision held firm even after he decided this would be a good time to make out with the back of her hand. Rainstar had apparently got his wooing tips off of cartoons and Archie comics, but it was probably better than the whole stoic pseudo-stalker thing teenagers were all up on these days. "In the far future."
She gave him another look, the corners of her mouth twisting down, "You aren't planning on being idle, are you? Because there's more than a few repairs needed around the compound, and I don't let people drink my protein shakes just so they can sit around looking pretty."
