Tuck appeared in the doorway to Mark's office about a minute and a half later, completely out of breath and clutching his cell phone.
"Am I late? Did I miss anything?"
He was a very reward-driven man.

Ol-j-man Text to Stormy: Good to hear! Be there ASAP. She was, eventually, at Mark's office. Making it a point to not look at any computer screens that may or may not be on or up or whatever, Sherry stepped inside. "Stormy, good to see you!" A wave and a smile accompanied her words. "And Nevada!" She nodded at the other hunter in the room, and at Mark, too.

Nevada blinked as Tuck was there in record time. Smiling at the moon hunter and waving him inside. "Didn't miss a thing yet hun." She gave him a lazy smile...and then he was followed by the much smaller life, Nevada instantly moving to embrace the other girl.
"Sherry, Gosh you look lovelier without the Sahara and such haunting you." She might've rubbed cheek with the girl before pulling back. "Welcome to Mark's Lair of awesomeness. I think we're waiting on one other person." Looked to see if Evan's form would follow. "I wouldn't look at the file Sherry, it has more things to interest say...Tuck and Mark over there." She chuckled. "Stormy and I have a new insight on our boss."

Evan paused mid-swing as his phone buzzed in his pocket. Curious, he read the new message, smiling when he saw who it was from. It grew wider when he read the last bit of it; going on a mission with people he trusted that involved two of his favorite things sounded a hell of a lot better than chopping down training dummies all day. Ol-j-man Text to StormyYou had me at hello. ETA in 5. Four and a half minutes later, Evan strolled through the door, nodding at those already assembled by way of greeting. "What's this I hear about some T&A? Doesn't sound like the kind of mission you're old enough for yet, Stormy."

Hugs were nice. Sherry liked hugs. Especially after how wonderfully things had been going lately~ She gave Nevada a nice healthy hug in return. "So do you!" Her gaze turned to where the file lay. "I see..." she began, her brain working things out. Mark...Mark's Lair....interest for ... new insight ... ... "Okay." She felt this was one of those better-to-not-ask situations. She had a feeling she might find out sooner or later anyway, if the file dealt with the mission. She'd just wait for orders.

Stormy breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Sherry with nary a scratch on her. "Not a thing, Tuck! Frieeeendssssss!!" It was Stormy at her peppiest yet, bouncing from person to person to give them a welcome hug and gleeful noise. "I wanted to see if mentioning them both would get you coming faster," she told Evan, once again missing her poor wording in her excitement. A promotion mission and friends~! This day couldn't go wrong now.
But like Nevada said, better not to ask about that portion of the briefing. At least not right now.
"Mr. Jedi Master Legend said this mission's about Insanity," she informed them. "And that it will be epic! So I hope you guys are ready for adventure time~"
She then paused and turned on her heel to address Mark with a sheepish look. "I know you wanted more ladies, but Tuck and Herc are bros. It's part of the bro code we get them here." Stormy bandied the term around without real knowledge of what The Bro Code meant, but she actually was a little sorry they didn't adhere to The Great One's request.

Mark still hadn't noticed that the picture he lay very carefully in front of the five trainees on his slightly cleared desk, next to a pile of beer bottles was still that of Aria wearing her birthday suit, with a body that would make any female Hunter quite very jealous. One almost had to wonder how Lance, the gimp guy, ended up with such a -
- "So," the Division assistant continued, having recovered from his long, long moment of two beautiful Mist ladies not actually calling on more of their brethren. He was pretty sure neither Tuck nor Evan were busty Mist ladies and therefore gave them the least of his attention, as in tried to ignore them and pretend they were something, or someone else, instead, "this is like, a pretty standard retrieval sort of quest, you go in, get an artifact, come out, you can't really miss it I mean, it's right in the picture."
The picture on the table was still very much that of a naked Mist Division lead.
"Also, I have some test equipment but," Mark pulled out an interesting shaped dagger, embedded with a crystal, waving it tauntingly a few times, "- but since I didn't get the busty Mist party I was promised, I'm keeping this, as collateral. Psychological damage okay."
He gave the group shooing motions

"Um . . . Mr. Jedi Master Legend, sir?" Stormy pointed to the photo. "I think calling Miss Aria an artifact is an insult. She is actually very pretty!"

]"Master Jedi Mark..." Nevada pointed with Stormy as well, "I don't think I can transport Aria anywhere. She'd likely kill or send me to a new division if that was the case sir." She gave a lazy smile and looked at the other members....And may have placed her hands over Sherry's eyes so the lifer didn't see.
Innocent babby.

Entirely missing the point, the Death assistant leaned back on his chair, propping his feet now over the picture unintentionally. "Oh, Aria is an artifact alright, and if I could transport her I wo-" he paused for a second suddenly, looking around with a slightly panicked expression. Oddly enough, Mark started fumbling with several cords before unplugging them altogether. "Ha! Nice try but maybe next time!"
It was really a mystery as to what he was talking about or to whom.
Returning to his casual inclining position, Mark pulled out a cigar. "Okay so like avoid stuff, portals, blahblah, I think that's it although," once again he shuffled in his dragon's den of entirely worthless crap before popping out with a few headsets, "can you test these babies for me? Prototype headsets, live feed, monitors your- nevermind that- basically I get the news as it happens. Perfect for spy- emergency situations."
A longer pause. "Well, I guess that's that...." Mark kept on looking pointedly at Nevada and Stormy. "I did have some rarer Runic equipment to give to some fine budding Mist ladies but you know what they say about payment..."
He wasn't exactly being subtle about it here.

Nevada took a moment and sighed, moving around the desk. "Master jedi Mark, Don't you think that Stormy and I could just borrow that special runic equipment for today, even though we don't have other mist ladies? The mist division has suddenly boomed with male population and hun, Even though they are pretty...They don't have what me and Stormy can offer." She slid up on the desk, watching the decor and giving him a lazy smile.
She then took the headset, dangling it between her fingers.
"What's the payment for the other rarer runic equipment Mark?..." She was all but purring at the hunter, especially if it was something to help on this mission to...get Aria? All weapons nesscary.

Mark preened just a little bit. "Go on....." Eyebrow waggle. "Oh, I think you know what the payment is for the rare stuff...."

Stormy passed Nevada a slightly confused look because she wasn't sure how serious she was about that. Especially with her brothers like right there.
Delicately she took the headset and weighed it in her hand, most curious to see it in action (well, sort of action at least). But rare equipment...Stormy wanted them to have every advantage so the mission could go smoothly. The faster and more efficiently they did it, the better.
After pondering, Stormy came to a reluctant conclusion and, with a small gold aura preluding it, summoned an ornate book. "Are artifacts okay?" she asked, offering it to him. "This is the Book of Pride." It was decently sized and shiny, which had to mean something, right? She would have rather kept it, though; the whispers it gave her made no sense, but she had begun to feel better with it near...And confidence was what she needed most of.

Nevada raised one perfectly arched eyebrow. Man, he was good. While she was on the desk, she slid the photo of naked Aria in her fingers before holding it up. "Mark mark mark. Nothing comes that easily, my goodies are a little more expensive then that. BUT, My boss would probably love to know how you got a file on her and her personals. Maybe I can go to her for the rare runic equipment, in exchange for the person spreading naughty photos of her to whom ever he pleased. Which would be you?" And then she leaned over and patted his cheek, "I'm sure Aria's temper won't end up getting you killed." Sorry bro. "On a friendlier note, Stormy Hun, your going to need you artifact."

"Huh." Mark scratched his head, "how did that get there?" Somehow, the complexity of the fact that he had placed it there had escaped him." He snatched the photo from Nevada, placing it back in his classified folder, giving her the stink eye. "Maybe you could go back to your sexy boss," he sniffled, "and right afterwards, maybe I could spam everyone's cell phones with these."
Because it was Mark, who was very well trained in the art of public shower stalking that all trainees (and even private shower stalking) and women had to go through, he pulled out two perfectly nude and quite revealing pictures of both Stormy and Nevada from his folder of goodies. Eyebrow wriggle. "Why do you think I wanted to call upon you two fine ladies?"
Before Nevada could react, he placed the photos back in his folder and again wiggled the Runic weapon. "Also, nice try but like, I custom made this item. One of a kind, hand crafted by me, works like a charm, and where I say it goes it goes." The Death assistant turned to Stormy. "Eh, artifact, smartifact, you know what I want." He puckered up.
