"Hm?" Ike glanced up from where he had been catching his breath when a sudden blur entered his peripherals. He spotted the man, tip-toeing around the place. Cocking an eyebrow, Ike stood slowly to adjust his Mishap Mercenary armband. Leaning forward and squinting to get a better look at the man, he let his wings twitch a bit, just in case this guy turned out to be bad news. "Uh, Hey! One more step and you'll hit the sub-machine gun switch." He called out to the newcomer, pointing at the stone directly underneath where the man was about to step again.

Aleric's foot stopped a few inches above the stone he was about to step on. He retracted his foot and turned to the boy with wings. "If you know so much about the traps why is it that you set them all off?" Aleric asked with a more than a bit of humor. "Are you a member of these mercenaries? You dodge about as well as I’d expect them to."

((Woah man, this place kinda died. I feel like I am partly to blame for that though. Amazingly, it's back though. Should I like make another post or wait for one of you two? Man, I should probably check who had the last post out of the three of us.))

"Because the security team enjoys making my life Hell by adding in new one's when I leave." Ike's voice turned dark there for a second as he muttered this to himself. He straightened his back out, folding his wings in for the moment after deciding that this man wasn't a hostile threat at the moment. "Yessir, that I am....and you would be who..?" He trailed off for the question, patiently waiting for an answer.

"Relax will you? I'm sure they want to keep you sharp. After all, complacency kills more good men than artillery fire." He looked the boy over for a second, and took off his helmet. Medium length black hair swayed over his face and his well trimmed beard made him look slightly more imposing. "My name is Aleric. I've come to enlist in your group, provided you'd allow me the honor of joining such a prestigious establishment." There was no sarcasm in Aleric's voice, and his face remained blank as he said it.

"Oh....Name's Ike." Ike dropped his guard there and began the weary trek back to the pot. All the traps he had triggered were temporarily disabled so it should be safe...but based upon the security team's pranks in the past, it was best to be safe than sorry. He stopped by the pot and hefted it back up again with a grunt. "Well, Come on then, we're always taking applicants. Just uh, stay by me so you don't get shot." He glanced at the man once before making his way to the door with the massive pot. Shoving it open with his elbow, he would wait in the entryway for the Aleric to follow.

Aleric put his helmet back on, covering his face again. He wondered if this boy could be trusted. If the security team really didn't like this boy, what did that say about his character? No matter, all in due time Aleric supposed. "Would you like some help carrying that? You seem to find it quite heavy."
Aleric made sure to step exactly where the boy did, but made sure to take in his surroundings. This group was unpredictable, but it was the challenge that made Aleric's blood tingle. Aleric said nothing as the two of them walked; There was no need to distract the boy from what he was doing.

ooc:: Sorry man, I gotta get off for the nigh, but I'll be on again tomorrow to reply :]
"Ugh..No I'm good. S'just today's tea shipment." He grunted again as he started to walk down the grand entryway hall. The ceiling was huge and ornate with ancient looking painting's scrawled over top it. "It's fancy to appeal to our customer's tastes." He explained once as they wandered to the end of the hall. Before them would be a steel barred doorway with seven, yes not two, but seven fully armed guards standing at attention.
One of them, obviously the guy in charge of the post stepped forward to look at Ike evenly. "Damn. Still in one piece kid?"
"HAH! You owe me 15 bucks Darren!" A smaller female guard at the back spoke with a laugh as a rather disgruntled looking boy shoved the money into her hand. "Keep doing a good job at surviving the pranks Ike, you're making me rich."
Ike muttered something under his breath about losing some stupid bet. " Only five more days of this to go....Anyway, I got the Commander's tea order, and uh, this guy's a new recruit so let 'im pass."
"Yessir!" The guards saluted the both of them once, before stomping their feet into the floor simultaneously. The steel slowly creaked open with shuddering protest. "Pass." The First guard murmured.
Ike moved past them, with a sigh, waiting again for Aleric.

Aleric didn't care about the decedent room or the reason for it. If someone wanted help they should accommodate the people they were hiring, not vice-versa. It all seemed like a waste of money to Aleric.
He walked by the guards, eyeing them suspiciously. Aleric wondered if the boy had lost a bet with how much gambling seemed to go on here. Guard duty was monotonous, but an essential part of any defense. He did wonder why they were inside and not outside though. Perhaps Aleric would join them after he met the master of this citadel.

ooc Imma waiting for Shadows Post O; So yeah.
"Alright, Welcome to HQ. Since you'll be joining us, I might as well tell you what's what as we pass things." Ike sighed, as he adjusted his grip on the pot. Motioning to the two stairwells that greeted them immediately upon retrieval, he'd mumble in a slow monotone drawl, "The stairs both lead up to the showers and member dorms for those of us without a home to return to." He continued walking, each door they passed he would name off. The hallway was a rather desolate place, with fairly bare walls and the occasional world map of some strange unknown land. The tile though, was fancy, something leftover from the days that the place used to be a school. "Research department. Weapon's Storage. Infirmary, if you go in there avoid the red haired nurse. Tech Room, Conference Room, Indoor training grounds, Out door training grounds, simulations room, Mess Hall, Filing room; avoid going in there at all costs. Security's mini HQ...and finally.." They would stop before the twenty foot tall, steel framed doors that looked like the belonged to a nuke shelter more than anything. "This is the portal room, You'll enter there when you go on your mission, it leads to every world and time span imaginable....and now to the right, we find the Commander's office." The single door was quaintly designed in red oak for perfection, suggesting the Commander's attention to detail. "Aaaand the entrance to the library...uh, you can study anything you want in the library but make sure you go in there armed to the tooth. Seriously, we've had people die in there before....or go missing, we still have yet to find that one rookie's body. If he's even dead, he could be surviving on vampire cow meat."

Aleric took in the entire building, trying to remember where everything was. After all, one doesn't want to look like a rookie in front of their superiors. "Is there any particular reason you keep such dangerous creatures in your library? You would think that they would ruin the books." He gazed at the large wooden door, and wondered if the door was just for humiliating guests, or whether the commander was a vain man caught up in the money that the job offered. "Do I need to set up an appointment in the Filing room?"
