Rep noticeably tensed at the way Ro looked at him as he mentioned making mistakes, it didn't occur to him that it was possibly because he'd given much of that advice but instead took it as a jab at the cuff on his wrist. The urge to hit the other man was kept in check only by the presence of Jordan, who he eyed with a momentary twinge of guilt at even thinking about violence after all the hassle lately.
"Aye." he growled. "In short, don't ******** up."
He took another sip of the hot chocolate, silently lamenting his own lack of money for a moment before he added. "Till you can go off island, just cross your fingers that nothing ******** horrible happens. We were living in a communal bunker for a while. It was ******** awful."
"And a rule of thumb here is. If someone's come up with it or thought about it. Aye, it's probably real."

"How the do the lab techs let that much s**t build up in their tanks?" Harrison complained, clearing water from his very short hair with a towel. The door was open. He figured Jordan was in. "It's not <******** hard, I don't think 3/4ths of those clowns are real scientists anyhow, I don't let it get like that in Killer's- uh," he eyed the guy sitting in the chair suspiciously.
"Hi."
Harrison had spent most of the morning and afternoon clearing said tanks. He looked over at Rep and then back at the guy. "...How'd pod duty go?"

"In support of your theory, I would like to point out that Robert and Leon are in Life division," Jordan said. "Hi, Harrison. This is Roland; he's how pod duty went, apparently."

Somewhere mid rotation he caught Rep tensing, the next time he spun around there was a visable shift in his face that screamed, 'Sorry!' before he even spoke. "Sorry, I didn't mean the... things. I meant the whole getting killed part you mentioned earlier. Bullet in the brain thing." He even made a feeble mock gun with his fingers pointed at his head.
"Well... I guess I can thank the folks who made Paranormal Activity for poltergeist then. That's what was haunting my family before I came here, at least that's what the hunters who found me said it was."
Another few rotations and he stopped offering a wave to Harrison, "Roland Taft, pleasure to meet you Harrison." He glanced back towards Jordan nodding, "I'm the... new hatchling I guess?" He went to extend his hand in a handshake, looked at Rep, then put his hand down before it even reached a quarter of the way up going for another slow spin in a circle again.
"Rep told me to stop by here after I picked up Silvya and so... here I am?" He offered along with a shrug for his reason at being present in the room.
<< Oooooo more candy. This place has cute boils. Or maybe it's just because I haven't seen one in so long... >>
"Uhm, hold on what, do they really call boys 'boils' where ever these things come from?" He added with a poke to his ear ring.

Rep looked pleased as Ro folded like laundry day to his anger, feeling like this newbie might just be a handy guy to have around.
His delight was short lived as Harrison chose that moment to get back from his duty, making this entire situation even harder to fob off. There was still only one bed, it wasn't multiplying any time soon.
"Aye, what he said, I got wake up duty. This guy decided to get up on my shift so I had to intro him to hell. Told him I'd fill him in on the cunts on the island, like Marcus and s**t later on."
And I sort of forgot I don't have my own room any more. he mused.
His grin broadened a great deal as Ro seemed to remember his comment about handshakes, a fast learner too. He'd never run into anyone who took his bullying seriously. It could be entertaining. He'd have to play his cards right though to maintain his badass impression and intimidation tactics while here with the people he tended to soften up just a bit for, it'd be a complicated dance. And he wasn't too keen on telling the runt about the whole threesome thing either, being doublegay didn't feature in his plan of coming across as an absolute pinnacle of manly. Maybe it could be avoided too.
"And aye. Boils. They have some ******** weird lingo over there, you pick some of it up, a lot of it is echoes of our words for s**t. Don't let it say Jack to you either, cause that's their ******** swear word, as I figured out eventually. "

"Newbie, huh?" Harrison gave his hair a last ruffle, then hung the towel from the closet door. He leaned against the desk.
"They use a lot of spooky words in place of regular ones. Stupid pun s**t. Like... eye scream, Gore-itos. Boogeymen are cops. Silvya will fill you in on that. What'll make the most difference is your division."

Jordan's eyebrows rose just slightly at how quickly Ro apologized; he was going to have to keep an eye out to make sure that Rep didn't abuse that trait too badly. For now, though, he said nothing about it.
"Yeah, Silvya will help you with with the Halloween-side slang and customs," he put in. "It's a good thing you and she seem to be getting along all right. Some weapons are less friendly, at least initially."

Three dudes, one bed, and a guest. It was odd but he tried to ignore the whole situation honestly. "Hey c'mon waking me up ain't so bad. I'm a stand up guy aren't I?" At least Rep was smiling again, it seemed actively avoiding things that irritated him put him in a rather good mood actually.
"Boils Goritos... Actually I could kill for real doritos right now." His rotations stopped for a moment as he looked at Jordan. "She's friendly enough, you already know her um... odd requests and general oddness. Okay really she's a pervert it seems."
<< I like looking at bodies just as much as any other person does right? Can't stop a ghoul from lookin' >>
He turned to Harrison again shifting to pull a coat tail to side revealing the mist markings on it. "Lil Misty right here. They seem to think I could be a good match anywhere so just kinda tossed me to the sharks..."

"Aye. Stupid words. And get used to not having doritos, the food here is pretty s**t until you get leave."
Again that aggressive posture came to the fore as Ro mentioned his weapon being a pervert in relation to Jordan, clenching his hands into fists. "You just kick that b***h in line when she starts to act ******** randy right? You are the boss and you control her." It was probably bad advice but he didn't care too much.
He eyed the coat with disdain, lip curling in disgust, he knew there had to be a catch in the decent newbie. "******** Mist." The words were snarled with the same malevolence he saved for words like vegetarian or woman. "Well you got ******** unlucky, really ******** unlucky, mist is full of bitches. Full to the ******** brim. Its mostly women, its run by a woman and its cutthroat as ********. Look out, because some of them in there will seem nice but they will ******** murder you to get ahead. Cass is okay, she's a safe bet. Look out for Candace." he waved a hand vaguely.
"Mist. ******** man, you really got boned there."

Harrison laughed. "Rep and her don't get along. Candace isn't somebody you'd want on the opposite team, that's for sure. You could learn a thing or two from her. Just don't expect too much molly-coddling. You want back up, you look for guys with Moons on their jackets. Suns attack, Moons defend, Life is science and medics, Death is intel, and Mist does whatever, whenever."
Rep's picture of Mist Division was full of nail files and apron strings.
"Before's in there too, he's a good guy. It'll let you try some of the other Divisions out, see if you want to stick around or not."
He grinned.
"If your weapon's pent up, you ought to try out the Princess Tower. Let her try working up a charge or two."

"No doritos? Well that's a load of crap..." he looked towards Jordan, then Rep again almost seeming to pout with the way he frowned. "I've had her less then two hours really, I don't know a thing about the whole 'weapon stuff' other then one minute I was carrying a scythe out the cave, then I had an earring shoved in my ear."
A whole division of girls..? Did someone think he was girl in his pod when his hair grew long? At that moment he took the time to run his fingers through his hair and judge just how long it was. "... I probably look the part with my hair down to my shoulders." He mummbled, choosing to carefully avoid talking about people Rep clearly did not like. "Wouldn't be the first time in my life I got shafted though."
Next was Harrison, who was laughing, and thankfully not as depressing as Rep was when it came to these other hunters. "Well I guess that's alright, at least I won't be the only boy in the girls club?" He offered a weak shrug and tilted his head. "Princess Tower? That sounds... really stupid."

"Just wait till you get to the top," Jordan laughed. "And hope your princess isn't someone you know already. That can be pretty unnerving." More seriously, he added, "The training courses are good exercise and good for working out aggressions. Well, some of them. Deathsweeper and Jenga are better at causing stress than relieving it."

"My hair is down to my ******** shoulders." he growled, disregarding the rest to fixate on the idea that he might somehow look like a woman because of his hair. "Are you trying to say I look like a ******** woman?" Again the intimidation tactics which were always so very delightful for him.
But, he couldn't even really intimidate the runt as much as he wanted to, not with Jordan and Harrison right there. He had to get rid of him for the time being, get him alone later. Somewhere out of earshot of the others where he could give him the really valuable advice.
"You should really go try them out. Warm up whatever excuse for a weapon you have."
And leave before Harrison gives you impartial advice on half the bloody island he thought irritably.

"I think I'm getting my courses mixed up," Harrison amended. "Miss Taken Tower. It's your division's run. Has s**t from all the other ones combined in one building. Princess Island's my division course."
He smiled wryly.
"You'll figure it out soon enough. A run-through's a good idea." He opened his mouth to say if he succeeded, he could pick up a runic weapon, then shut it bitterly again.

"Considering I know a grand whopping total of three people Jordan I think the odds are in my favor I'll get some stranger as my um princess." The princess part was what was getting him, still best not to worry too much about it. It was only his first day on the job right?
He turned to Rep next with the blankest face of 'you're kidding right?' he could possibly have. "Rep you're like six feet tall, covered in tattoos and scars, you have a beard. If someone thinks you look more like a girl then I do I think they might need their eyes and brain checked." It was probably the ballsiest thing he had said to Rep in the glorious three hours they had known of each others existance, it was also painfully true. "Sorry it's just I usually kept my hair close shaved, closer then Harrison's since my dad was all 'military life' for the family."
He raised an eyebrow at the emphasis of 'trying out' the courses but decided to not comment on that.
"Miss Taken Tower... huh... well um, I'll look into that Harrison. Thanks." He returned the wry smile. "I guess I'll look into that in a day or two, right now they have a list of readings I need to go over to introduce me to the islands this FEAR stuff and hunting in general."
Standing up he spun the chair he had been sitting in around moving it back to the desk, "I'll be in room 152, or the Labs mostly, but if any of you want to accompany me to the Tower I'd welcome the company." He started for the door before looking back to wave politely. "It's nice meeting you guys," he nodded to Jordan and Harrison each before moving out the door his pace seeming to quicken a bit.
<< Two Guys One Bed.... I like where that was going~ >>
"ShutupSyvlia..." he grumbled as his cheeks turned red while he scurried off to his own room.
