 Jason shrugged as the kid looked down at his weapon, but gave a quick smile when he mentioned that he mentioned that he had made his weapon himself. "I guess we'll see once we get to Moorswood...if this thing that we boarded actually decides to leave soon," He said with a sigh, moreso directed at the unseen pilots of the airship rather than the kid he was talking with, he did have a point though they were all going to be there for a while and from what he had heard about this place it wasn't just a combat school, "By the way, since we are going to be grouped together in the same batch of new recruits I guess I should at least introduce myself here, my name's-"
Before Jason could finish his introduction, someone else new entered the lounge, a girl with black hair who seemed to think she knew the situation got right up in his face and began accusing him of something, arrogance maybe. It took everything within him not to instinctively swing at the girl, who was about his height, if not a couple inches shorter and had just mentioned that she knew how to fight as well in the same breath. "For your information, I wasn't gloating, talking down or being arrogant, I was simply stating what I thought was true based on what I saw, it a trait that runs in my family," He explained when the girl had finished, clenching and unclentching his fists as a way to calm down "Granted I wasn't sure about him at first, but the kid has a point about why we were picked for this round of hunter training, I'm guessing that if he was smart enough to build his own weapon he's probably smart enough for other things in addition to fighting."
Now standing he turned so that he could see both of them, but held out his hand to the kid he was talking to previously, "Now, as I was saying, since we are going to be living together for while and noone else is going to without possibly someone getting hurt," He paused and shot a quick glance over to the girl, "I figure I might as well start the introductions, the name's Jason, Jason Skye."

 Another person arrived in the lounge. She had come in late, getting a little side tracked at a few places.
Sandra sat in the nearest chair to catch her breath. She had to run the last bit, afraid the airship would leave without her. Luckily it didn't and she was now able to relax in her chair. Her bags and case had already been taken to her room by the attendant. She would check out her room later.
Sandra looked around. She got to study the characters around while they were preoccupied. Three guys and another girl. Three were in a heated discussion and the other was busy gaming. She said sat back and waved over an attendant.
"Can I get something to drink? Some tea would be great." she told him.
The man nodded and soon arrived with her beverage.

Kieth Hietz Kieth looked over at the girl, it was the girl that he saw before, with that hair. He can tell that she was a little ticked off about what the man had said. He stayed quiet and listened to both of them until the spiky haired man extended his hand to him. He looked at it and heard his name, and he wondered if he said his name that they would recognize it, His parents did own Hietz industries a large company that mined Vex, and sold it. He disguarded the thought and shook Jason's hand and looked at both of them. "My name is Kieth Hietz."After the last batch of students came, most of them went into their rooms. One however stayed in the lodge, and requested tea. Moments later the large door closed and stayed shut, soon the pilot came up to everyone in the lodge. "Please prepare yourself we are about to take off." Kieth nodded and still remained sitting. A small thought came across his head saying finally. Soon a large engine could be heard and the ship started to float slowly. Then soon the ship took off, and the first thing Kieth went to go hold onto, was his heavy bo staff. After the ship settled Kieth looked out the large glass windows, and the view was amazing. The sun was still near the horizon and being above the sky scrapers was an awesome sight. "Well guys were on our way." he said so all five in the room could hear with a smile.

 Takagi YoshishiroWhen the announcement went out that they were taking off Takagi put his game away and secured his bowsword. Once they were in the air he looked out the window in awe, "so beautiful" he quietly said to himself admiring the view. He shyly looked around at the others and realized he had yet to introduce himself. "My name is Takagi Yoshishiro, it's a pleasure to meet you all" he politely said.

 Ventera Ven wasn't sure to believe what Jason said or not if he was being arrogant or not. She shrugged and turned away from him stepping out of his face. Ven then heard him speak up again announcing his name. She sighed and moved further into the lounge picking a spot and standing there. She felt the airship move and overheard the intercom saying they were about to take off. She braced herself as the ship started moving and eventually took off.
Once the ship was stable and Ven steadied herself and remained against the wall with her arms crossed. It appeared that everyone was doing introductions. "Ventera," She said simply. It's not like she was likely to get to know any of the others very closely. She would rather not especially that Jason kid. Though little did she know all of them were going to have to get close to one another. She remained quiet after saying her name simply listening to the others chatter waiting for them to arrive at Moorswood.

Jason exhaled and shook his head after shaking Keith's hand as the girl turned and walked to another spot of the room. That was too close, I never thought those meditation techniques could work on the fly. he thought to himself as the pilot announced that they were finally leaving, he grabbed the back of one of the couches before the airship finally settled itself, he watched the city shrink as they lifted up higher and nodded a "hello" when the other kid, Takagi, introduced himself to the group and continued to watch the city below them for a bit as well as watching the others. Besides, Takagi and Ventera, there was another girl who hadn't introduced herself to the rest of the group and from what he saw looked slightly older than the rest of the kids he had just met, but given what had just happened with the other girl and Keith, who's last name sounded really familiar for some reason, he just decided to give her a quick wave instead, after all he figured the formal introductions and groupings would start when they got to the school.
"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going to go see if this ship has more to do than sit around watching news or the sky." Jason said out loud to noone in particular, after the last encounter he needed to blow off some steam and hoped this oversized plane had a gym or dojo somewhere on it. He picked up the gift his dad had given after he left and headed for the door. "Nice to meet you all." Was all he said as he left the lounge.
Shortly after leaving he came across what looked like a set of double doors a little ways away that looked like they led into something resemble a training area, he pushed doors open, went inside and sure enough it was an open room not quite as big as the lounge, but a decent enough size to hold several people, but right now it was mostly empty. Taking off his jacket and setting it and his sunglasses on a shelf, he cautiously unwrapped the gift and revealed a katana with a black sheath and red hilt topped with a red gem, which he assumed was vex by the way it started pulsing when he picked up the surprisingly light sword. Thanks dad, sorry I opened it sooner than I said I would... With that, he took the sword and attached it to one of the belt loops on his jeans while taking note that it came with something to attach it to so that he could wear it across his back. walked over to where some training dummies were set up, drew the sword from its hilt, and began swinging, letting out a quick grunt with every hit on the dummy.

Kieth Hietz He listened to the others that were in the lodge and each one introducing themselves, everyone except the other girl. glancing outside the windows once more, they seemed to be traveling really quickly and he wonder how long it would take. not to long after the intercom came on it was the pilot, "Attention passengers, we will arrive to our destination late in the after noon." That gave them some time to relax at least.
He reached for his coffee that was still secured on the glass table before Jason decided to go explore the ship. He took a sip and looked over at him. " Alright." He simply said to him. Kieth reached for the remote again turning up the volume and when he did something weird was happening. The news started to glitch a little and soon a masked figure appeared on the screen. Kieth knew this wasn't right so it quickly drew his attention, soon after the masked man began to speak. His voice could be heard throughout the ship's televisions that were hooked up to each room in the ship. "Good morning hunters and huntresses, let me introduce myself, I am Ken, and I highly recommend just going back home and forget all about this training. This is the only warning I am giving you, if you come after me, I will personally make you sure you will die.."
After that warning the news clicked back on like nothing has happened. The message sent a chill down Kieth's spine slightly and he took another sip of his coffee. It made him rethink his decision whether his parents were right, and that he should just take the business. He took a deep breath and calmed himself, he kept thinking to himself that there was no turning back now and that he can he do this. He finished his coffee and and went up to the trash can and threw his cup away, then looked at everyone in the lodge. "Some message." He stated and went back his sofa.

Leon was only sitting off at a far corner of the ship, using a whet stone to sharpen his custom made weapon. A few people gave him a few stares and he payed no mind to it, he was used to it and he couldn't blame those who were cautious around him. His family wasn't the the most friendly when it came to business and people assumed he was the same, they were half-right.
He continued sharpening his blade until the broadcast came on, the masked figure named Ken, or at least claimed to be him warned the entire ship of what was to come. He only scoffed at the broadcast, if this "Ken" figure didn't want them to go after him he would have already done it, he wasn't intimidated by the broadcast, but instead was inspired by it. Now he had a reason to actually attend this school, now he had a reason to do his best and survive.
He turned back to his blade and continued to fine the edges again, just like the tv had, like nothing had happened at all. Nothing really seemed to matter at this point besides his weapon's dulled blade.

Takagi YoshishiroTakagi didn't pay the message much heed, he got up and remounted his bowsword across his back. He walked out of the lobby area and started randomly wandering around the airship exploring to see what else there was to do.

Jason heard both messages and saw the second one play on the T.V. in the gym. He just nodded when the first one played, apparently they were moving faster than he had thought, which made him wonder why they had been given rooms on the airship in the first place, but he just shrugged off the thought and continued to fight the dummies with his sword, quickly knocking down two at a time. He noticed that he moved a little faster than normal and rather than the weapons that his father had trained him on back home this sword felt lighter than normal, but still just as powerful as a regular one with its black blade easily slicing through them.
When the second message came on, however, Jason stopped and watched the whole thing, finally getting as good as look as he could at the masked man who called himself "Ken" threaten their lives. I wonder how many times that message has been played in an effort to scare us and if it has actually worked...funny he doesn't look as tough as he makes himself out to be. Jason thought to himself as he walked over to where his belongings were he noticed that there was something else wrapped in the stuff that the sword had been wrapped in. When he removed the packaging he pulled out what looked like an oversize belt, it took him a second to figure out that it was actually a holder for the sword's sheath that he could place across his chest like a sash and place the sword in its holder that way.
Much better, now to try some hand-to-hand combat. He stretched his arms out a little bit before heading back over to the dummies, pressing a button on the wall that made them more pliable to non-metal things hitting them and began throwing a series of punches and kicks at them in different ways.

Sandra let her mind wander, letting the others introduce themselves. She paused a minute, taking a sip of her hot tea before speaking. However, before she uttered a word the screen changed. She stare at the TV watching carefully the short message set before them.
She found the whole thing disturbing. The video and everyone's reaction. She didn't believe one would make idle threats without something to back it. Yet, no one seemed much disturbed by the message. The did not look to even consider it worth their time.
Sandra forgot about introducing herself and she grew lost in contemplation. This message would not deter her from gaining the training she craved, but it made her thing. Ken had power. They should be cautious on this trip. Once all of them stepped off this ship there would be no turning back.
It was a sobering thought.

Kieth Hietz Episode 2, Moorswood. ((time skip)) few hours have passed by and Kieth spent most off his time watching the sky scrapers past by the ship, so many that he lost count. But that was a while back since their destination wasn't near the main city which Kieth already expected. He then noticed the ship started to slow down a bit and then not a minute too soon, the captain's voice could be heard all over the ship. "We will arrive to our destination in a few minutes." With that being said some of the other students came to the lodge with their suitcases ready to leave the ship. Kieth couldn't help that one of them looked like he puked his guts out. Kieth then went to his room to grab his suit case, it was the first time he was in there so he checked inside the suitcase and everything was still there. He took it with him to the lodge and he grabbed his bo staff and equipped it onto his back. This is it.. He thought to himself. A few minutes later the ship then met the ground but before the doors opened, an unfamiliar voice came on all over the ship. "Everyone must report to the gym as soon as possible. Our attendants will take your bags to your rooms and will also hand you a key to your room along with a map of the academy". Moments later the large doors opened up and Kieth was one of the first ones out of the ship. He saw the academy and he almost dropped his suitcase. It was nothing like he ever seen before. Not to long later, one of the attendants came up to him and Kieth handed her the bag. She then gave him his room key and the map and Kieth wondered if he would have a room mate. He then checked the map and looked for where he was and then the gym and headed over there, not knowing what to expect.

Jason continued to train for a couple hours of the flight both with weapon strapped to his back and actually fighting with it. After he had finished, he headed back to his room with his items and cleaned off as best as he could in the room's bathroom and small shower, still thinking about what the stone on the hilt was for he took the sword and began to work on figure it out.
The announcement and landing startled Jason out of a sound sleep, he rubbed his eyes, stretching, not remembering when he had passed out or out long he had been asleep, but he quickly grabbed and sheathed his sword to his back, grabbed his other bags and made his way to the exit. When he got to the bottom of the stairs an attendant was waiting for him and in exchange for his bag and backpack, handed him a map and a key with his name on it. When the attendant left, he looked at the map to find how to get to the gym from the airfield and began to make his way there.
