Welcome to Gaia! ::

"If I'd known I'd see those guys every day I would have thought twice about signing up," Axel said to Shun.

He looked at Lenore with interest. He recognized the girl who had been bookhanded at the parade. Now didn't seem like the time to apologize, but he still meant to do it later. "You got conscripted? Wow. I'm, uh, sorry."

More like glad his bonfire story had been appallingly terribad. At least he had entered the military of his own free will.

Axel vaguely recognized the young blond man with the impressive hairstyle, though he was sure they had never spoken, and he gave Mykanos a little wave. Axel waved at the girl with the bright blue hair as well. He waved to Alec with somewhat more enthusiasm. He could hardly say Alec's military ambitions were stupid, not now that he'd joined up himself, and he was delighted to see a friendly face. "Alec, hey!"

Not wanting to be rude, he smiled at Mykanos and Nekoda and introduced himself. "I'm Axel. I don't think I know your names."

Mykanos Kajika - Falke

There was the most mild, and quick flicker of surprise when Mykanos spotted Alec making his way over to the left side as well. The young boy was one of the very few he'd had interaction with, and could recognize easily from the festivities that had happened not too long ago. An acknowledging nod was aimed towards the younger gent in honor to him, before a glance was spared to those who were around as well. As a female meandered on over, he started to realize that most everyone knew each other... whether this was a down side or not for him, having no sort of relations with anyone, he wasn't quite sure just yet.

However Axel was given his attention now, as the other man gave clear indication of interest. Having enough social mannerisms to respond appropriately, the stoic hunter replied with a stare and introduction of his own. "Mykanos." the strong, unused baritone matching his solemn demeanor.

Lloren Klerksen - Luchse

Much like the scene that had unravelled a few minutes ago, that morning, all of the trainees had been gathered to the field. Their eardrums had been likewise pulverized by the chief instructor's speech regarding the new recruits that would be arriving that day. When he asked for volunteer guides, no doubt many trainees would enjoy guiding their new dorm-mates- but not many dared to raise their voice in response to Santos, as his reactions usually went along the line of hazing. A few seconds passed before Lloren's reaction had come.

"I'd love to, Sir!" She had declared cheerfully, hand raised, eager to throw herself at the new arrivals. She had also entertained the thought of Alec and Shakuntala featuring among the new recruits.

Santos had approached her, bearing his saintly smile, and asked: "And what dorm do you belong to, blind little mole?"
Lloren peered at the massive man before her as if questioning her reality and saluted, thumping a hand against her chest. "Aheh... um, Luchse, Sir!" To everyone's relief, he turned away.

"That leaves Tragen and Falke, unless your dorms are nothing but a lot of useless people!" He began as he stalked away.

----

Later, Lloren found herself watching the new recruits from the cliff edge by Dorm Luchse. She dangled her legs leisurely, trying to spot familiar heads of hair in the ranks. There were a few.

By the time dorm assignments were being called out, she began to jog her way down the dirt path to the Field. She arrived on scene waving an arm enthusiastically. "Welcome to the Dorm Luchse guided touuuuur!" She announced in a lighthearted tone, now jogging in place. Hurrah hurrah, people to meet, things to show!

Elenore Abendritter - Falke

Lenore turned to Axel and tilted her head, giving him a blank stare as her hair fell in front of her eyes. "The Baldies conscripted me, not you. Why are you apologizing...?"

Seeing Alec join them, the girl managed a small wave, but said nothing. Hearng Kody tell them to call her by another name reminded Lenore that she should probably introduce herself as such, as well. "You can call me Lenore, if you want. You don't have to, but it would probably be easier for everyone." She shrugged to punctuate her words.

"Farvardin Wyman - Tragen" Was yelled out and Farvardin's head snapped up. She looked to the right and walked over to the two others standing over there. She looked at the guy and the girl and grinned. "Heya! I'm Farvardin. Nice to meet you both." She then looked around and watched as others got sorted into their dorm groups.

She was a little disappointed to see Alec was in a different dorm but they could always hang out during whatever free time they got and perhaps during training. Besides this gave her a good chance to meet others and make new friends.

Desdemona Nevrakis - Tragen

Farvardin -- that was a weird name. Des didn't say this out loud of course, and really, she had no room to talk. Desdemona was probably a weird name to her, too. The huntress certainly seemed more energetic than she or Martino actually were. This would either work for or against her in determining whether or not they'd actually be friends. The baron's daughter wasn't exactly the most upbeat of people, but it was their first day. She had to give her the benefit of the doubt.

"Desdemona Nevrakis. You guys can call me Des."

Her words were straight and to the point - no need for anything more than that. She then turned and glanced at Martino, noting his politeness. He was the only guy so far out of their dorm, so that must have been nice for him. He'd be quite the sight if more female trainees also ended up in their dorm. In an attempt to make conversation, Desdemona then looked to her two new dorm buddies and quirked a brow. "Anything specific I should know about you two before we start the next three years of our lives together? I prefer not to be surprised by quirks or habits."

Martino Velazquez - Tragen

"Ah, Des, hello as well," Martino replied to the freckled female.

He was taken aback a bit at Des's decision to cut through all of the red tape regarding quirks or habits. He dawned on a reply for a bit, tilting his head and scratching the stubble beneath his jowl in thought. Well, there were a few like his thunderous snoring, his inability take care of him without assistance or reminders from another, the fact he got major. B.O. from that lack of personal care, his fear of cats, the whole ordeal with his wife... The male suddenly shook his head and offered the two the same quaint smile.

"Nope, there's nothing about me you have to worry about," he replied. "I'm as normal as normal gets."

Alec Scott - Falke

"Hey! Nice to meet you Kody!" The red head offered his hand to the girl, waiting for her to shake it before offering her a friendly smile. She seemed right in her element, and strangely helped settle his nerves at least in part. He didn't know her very well, but had high hopes they would make fast friends.

When Mykanos nodded at him, he did a small return glance between Shun and him both. "Looks like we have a pretty solid group so far." Alec commented thoughtfully. They weren't exactly the most talkative of souls, but that didn't mean he wasn't glad to see either familiar face.

"Lenore, if thats fine with you I'll go with that?" He said to the quiet girl, noticing she felt a bit overwhelmed and was quiet. Who could blame her? A lot was going on, and the next 3 years of their lives would be spent at this compound. He'd made a choice to come here, having enlisted with a friend a few days back. Some didn't sound as lucky to have made the choice on their own.

Of all the people gathered, he was perhaps most surprised by Axel. While he'd gotten absolutely trashed drunk the night he went out with the guys he still remembered how defensive he was of the topic of enlisting. Instead of calling him out to the group he instead stood next to the taller man and nudged him with an elbow. "Fancy meeting you here Axel." Or Preacher for that matter. What had changed he wondered.
