Welcome to Gaia! ::

She smiled slightly at his explanation of the tattoo,"very interesting. Very symbolic of our time..." she mused half to him and half to herself. Mostly unity anyways. She, personally, would never unite for one specific cause. her cause was herself and her work, nothing else and no one else mattered. When he spoke of her tattoo she gave a half grin. "No, nothing like that. A bit of my mech had broke off so I had the part repaired and then the chunk ground down and added to the ink. Sad thing it that the flakes work their way to the surface and fall out so I have to get it re-done every year or so..."

He asked her trade and she was reluctant to speak on that. She had a slight pause but luckily he stood and introduced himself with an extended had. Quit the smooth gentleman. She rose to her feet as well and took his hand coming up to about his chest looking much like a child in comparison. "Lillium Harakhty...last of the true Egyptians and a Mercenary by trade," she stepped closer as she said her name and occupation, close enough that they touched. "It is more than a pleasure to meet you, Valco," she said with a very sly smile, nearly purring his name. "Tell me, what do you do?"

Valco smiled, partly from the woman's lovely action and appearance and partly from just how short she was compared to him. "Well, Lillium, its a pleasure to meet you. I can guarantee you that it is." A smile crossed his face, very similar to the one that crossed his face. "But you say you're a mercenary, and that you're a mech pilot? Well, my crew has been down a few for a while ever since we caught a close shave with the Corporation a while back, if you're interested in a job." He sat back down on the stool, finishing off his drink and waving around to gesture to CD, Blade, and James. "These three are part of the crew. I've got no idea where Logan or Koraj are, but they're likely to pop up later on. Sergius is off somewhere too. Anyway, we're the Crimson Wolves."

He was proud, and that was obvious. His crew, although they bickered and snapped from time to time, were some of the best people that he knew. Even Blade, the team's newest member, was nearly a brother to Valco. They were a massively close knit group and, as Valco thought about it, things would be terrible for him if any of the crew left.

(( lol srry stranger didn't knwo hwo to respond to your post))

Finishing the drink in front of her Vashti sat in her chair for a while, listening to everything as it happened. She was not one to get into other’s business but, things seemed to be a bit different today. Sliding her chair back, she stood up and walked towards the bar. She used the empty chair to the left of the little red head, she glanced at the bartender. Taking the hint, he went to get her another beer.

“Not really much of my business but, if you really where a true Egyptian may I inquire why your hair is red?” Glancing at the girl then up at the man. Holding back a snicker at the height differences, it was just to much of a comical sight to be seen.
The bartender came over with her drink, setting it down on the table and walked away. Vashti reached her hand out as she brought the cup to her lips, taking a sip she placed it back down on the table. “Then again, it isn’t much of my business now is it. A grin on her face she walked back over to her chair, taking a seat. Taking another swig from her cup she placed it back on the table and relaxed into her chair. Her ears still listening to all the conversations around her.

<< Yeah I got done a while ago playing as an Axis soldier on Return To Castle Wolfenstein. Axis > Allies on the Beach level, which I always play on. And at close range a .50 Cal sniper won't do as much pain. The bullet fragments wont be able to spread. >>

Logan sighed, and Koraj rolled his eyes. "We fell asleep in the mechs. Things got too damn boring. Besides, we're not homosexual." Logan explained. "And James, your the one who thinks he's in a candy shop when you see a scrapyard. Just like your ancestors, livin on the scraps of the rest of us eh?"

<< Now then, I think it's time I went back. We've got a bunch of noobs on the Allies team, and I'm itchin a massacre. As long as Humble Bee aint on the allies, I'm good. >>

"Goddammit..." Blade muttered as he looked down into his glass. "I'm such a putz..." he mumbled before knocking back the remainder of his fifth beer, and slamming the glass mug down on the counter. Blade decided that it was time to end the pity party he was throwing for himself, and join the rest of his comrades, seeing as they were all socializing. The best cure would be to surround himself with his friends. As Blade approached the group, he noticed Logan and Koraj making their entrance. "Where the hell have you assholes been?" he inquired, and then laughed when he heard their reply to James. Either way they tried to put it, it still sounded bad. "James, how long have you been here? And you're already that sloppy drunk? Man, you're a light-weight." Blade teased as he snapped his fingers at the bartender again, and threw down some more stones. "Here, have another beer." Blade insisted as he took the glass, and pressed it to James' chest. "And Valco, you owe me a game of pool. You got lucky last time." Blade challenged as his eyes wandered about the new women. "And is someone gonna introduce me...?"

"Religious types...?" Blade mused as he looked at the women. Oh great... he thought. Were these a bunch of religious fanatics trying to convert Valco? If so, what were they doing in a bar? And knowing Valco, he'd probably go along with it, just to get some. "So you still got that little demon inside you, eh? What's it's name?" Blade asked, but his eyes kind of sunk when she mentioned the wife. She must have overheard him, and Blade wasn't exactly open about his hang-ups. "No..." he trailed off, thinking about it a bit. How did Karen know that he was making passes at other women? "Did you...?" Blade inquired of her seriously.
