Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sort Me! ▌Desdemona Nevrakis

Hundreds of hopeful trainees stood at attention as they listened to the orientation speech given by Santos, the chief instructor. Desdemona was among them, her face stern and eyes not moving off of the shouting man for a moment. Sure, his words were harsh, but at the same time, they were kind of inspiring in a way. The military wasn't the place for people who were soft or who didn't want to put in the effort or the pain needed to complete training. It was his job to weed those people out, and over the next three years, the numbers of individuals in her ranks would surely diminish. She, however, would still be among them: she was sure of that. There was no way anything that Santos said, or anything that they threw at her in terms of training, would lead to her breaking before graduation. She was determined, and she was ready, and now was the time to take the first step on that journey. She was ready to be sorted into her dormatory.

Shun Kuroda - Falke

There were a few... surprising names and faces to see around here, honestly. Preacher. Elliot. Those two he definitely did not expect to see among military ranks. He also spotted Nekoda, an old acquaintance of his. With a shake of his head, Shun looked over the others that were sent into Falke.

"No s**t," he murmured while glancing over at the bald men, "Now it seems like we'll have to deal with them on a daily ******** basis."

He did not forget the night of the bonfire. How he got kicked out of a tree and such.

Sort Me! ▌Farvardin Wyman

Farvardin had managed to find her way to the training grounds without getting lost. Well that was because she was with a recruiter the entire time so there was no chance for her to get lost. She listened to bald man's speech and saluted proudly. She was glad her dad so easily approved of her joining the military. Her brother on the other hand..... well she didn't know how he felt about it and she had left without saying goodbye. She thought he wouldn't approve and didn't want to listen to him 'lecture' her.

She looked about curiously to see if she knew anyone as she waited to find out about her dorm room situation. She spotted Alec and gave him a nod of the head. She also spotted several others she recognized from the festival.

"Eyes are more up than that, Flower." She chuckled and crossed her arms. Preacher had heard of a warrior race of women that cut off their breasts to shoot arrows better. She could see why.

"Huh. Dun particularly wanna be a big cat... you guys nervous? I ain't likin' tha look of tha baldie meself." She kept one of her eyes on Alec, curious about his assignment.

..."Flower"? "Oh. Er, sorry," Elliot, at least, had the decency to look a little ashamed, "I just...I didn't know you were a girl. ...Sorry." The second apology was almost hastily tacked on, lest he unintentionally offend Preacher.

Manners. He had them, really.

Despite Tala's reassurance that she wasn't nervous, the quiver in her voice was clear evidence against them. Lips curving into a faint smile in a weak effort to comfort her, Elliot shrugged his shoulders and glanced in the direction of said baldie.

"Honestly? A little, yeah. That guy aside, I didn't really intend on ever joining the military. I'm not sure I'm really cut out for this, to be honest, but I have to try."

Elenore Abendritter - Falke

Having been among the first to walk over to the Falke side of things, Lenore crossed her arms at the others' mention of the Baldies. "I had a feeling we'd see them again. I got conscripted by them, after all."

Mykanos Kajika - falke

So he was in Falke. Well, which ever dorm, it didn't matter. He was in, and that's all he cared about. After being assigned, he took himself off to the left to join the others who had also been listed off into the Falke dorm.

{ feel free to quote me, other falke folk, for rp/interaction with my gent. }

Alec Scott - Falke

Alec heard his name be called, the red head recognized the word Falke, it was an old term for Hawk. His mother use to tell him the names of different animals in a language he couldn't hope to begin to spell. He at least had held onto many of the simple words and their meaning.

He wasn't with Preacher, Farvardin nor Shakuntala but had a feeling they would make time to speak more outside of their dorm assignment. Before taking his stance and having been waiting in line he'd taken moments to acknowledge his friends individually. They were all in this together..even if it would come down to sorting.

However, he did recognize several of the personnel he would be assigned with into Falke. Mostly made up of men so far, only the two girls Lenore and Nekoda were not true to this. Mykanos, Shun, Axel, and himself all made up Falke thus far. That meant they had to go to the Left as ordered. "Hey guys!" Alec grinned at the small gathering, while nervous he had a bit of a pep to his walk. With sorting taken care of (for him at least) he was free to stand in their gathering for the now and mingle.
