((I've decided to make a new character. I noticed a descint lack of something here, and I'm gonna fill in that gap. 3nodding ))
Aretha looked at the men around her through the curtain of her hair. They weren't much older than her. Two were just a few inches taller, and the other came up to her chest! None of them were overly musclar, and on the farm, they would have been considered to be scrawny.
But they were filled with this confidence. It was so different from what she felt. She was determined to try her best and to not get in their way. They looked like they knew they could do this. That there was no possible way they couldn't win. It made her admire them. It made her stare at their backs in awe. It made her feel like a child compared to them, helpless and lost.
"Why would they ever need someone like me when they have people like them?"

"You know, when have plans ever worked out when we came up with them?" Kiro asked William in a joking manner. "I mean, things don't usually go as planned and for those who are inexperienced in our group, I think the best thing for you guys is to just get used to the work. Even if you're just observing, you're still getting stronger." Kiro added in attempt to encourage Aretha and Issac who didn't yet seem up for the job.
Kiro walked out to examine the area from which the fiend was said to always come from. Kiro looked up into the trees to down at the ground which was covered in branches, dirt, and leafs. He was looking for any evidence of it's 'blades' which were spoken about such as a scratch or cut out of a tree though Kiro didn't find any. Kiro sighed. "The most annoying thing is if it is capable of flying..." He mumbled as he looked up at the empty trees once again.

((No worries Kairi. And, Rai, I have no problems with you making a new character, but stick with Aretha until they return from the mission at least. You can send me the new profile and maybe we can get it in faster so Storm has somebody to interact with back at HQ.))

Emma smirked as she rode at the rear. She wanted to see how Gene was when he had to talk to someone. She doubted it greatly that the other two would want to make it seem like they were in charge. Besides, Emma has had problems before where someone couldn't focus on their issue because of the person snapping her fingers in front of them.
"I wouldn't worry too much about it honey. This village may be small, but if they're mostly stock farmers then they're probably decent warriors in a pinch. A snake type fiend is also more likely to avoid any negative attention, which means our's might be stupid if it was seen. Though a molted skin could just as easily give one away..." Emma trailed. "Anyway, it's not like we really could have got here much faster. Maybe late last night, which actually would have been a bad thing. With few people awake, and a snake fiend roaming about, we may have become unsuspecting targets." Emma explained. She knew she was going to have fun.
Train grumbled, "Fine. Then I guess you'll just keep following me." Train looked at the crowd for the last time, "We're heading out now, have the money ready." Train said, rather cold-heartedly. He ushered his horse on, not checking on the others.
"The woman said due south, and with any luck, I'll see it from a while away. Let's talk strategy, I spy, Enyo sneaks above the cave entrance while Tyrone flushes it out. Inside a cave would be an ideal place to die for us. I can't give accurate and fast directions inside, and it can strike from the darker places. If we lure it outside, Enyo can jump it, and you both can see it very quickly. Man-Beast types are usually very strong, so Tyrone is the only one capable of one-on-one battle, since he is the only one capable of blocking. Anything to add?" Train asked.
Isaac had bowed a little before he turned to follow after the others. Hopefully it would help reassure their employer. The battle plan was something Isaac was sure he'd be hearing quite a bit for some time. While, yes, he had battled fiends before and obviously won, super bugs were not on his list of accomplishments. Though Kiro raised an interesting point, "If it can fly and it decides to target Aretha, I'm not going to be incredibly useful. Just saying." Isaac said.
Isaac was a little nervous, this would be his first time on a team. He knew it would be good for him though, he could at least ride a horse now. And he was sure his potential lay upward rather than down, which was an obvious point to dwell on. He was ready for this, he knew it.

((I did send it to you. Did you not get it? Do you not approve? I just wanted a fun character.))
Aretha let out a tiny whimper. "W-w-why would i-it come after m-m-me?"
Aretha grimaced at the sound of her own terrified voice. "Confindent. No trouble to them."
"I mean, d-does a fiend go after females more than m-males?" Aretha resisted the urge to hide under a rock and hit her forehead in shame. "Confident? About as much as a cat in a lake."
((Ugh! Short post.))

((I decided we needed a character who will only stay at the base and interact with inactive characters and new characters who joined after teams were made. Meet Bridget! YAY! Storm Silence, this is going to be your companion for a while.))
A young teenaged girl skipped down the sidewalks, humming happily to herself. She skipped right up to the front gates of the Calivert Corp Base, and looked expectently at the guard.
"Oh! Sorry! Let me get that for you, Miss Cross," the guard apologized, snapping to attention. The little girl giggled.
"I'll forgive you this time, but next...I'm tellling," she said, finishing with a singsong voice. The girl skipped inside the open gates, as the guard sighed in relief.
It didn't take the girl a long time to figure out no one was here...not even her Uncle! She walked around in a pout, not flouncing around anymore.

These two didn't even bother trying to figure out what my ability is yet and they're ordering me around. Enyo thought, feeling a little irritated but she didn't question anything. "I understand. Don't worry about thing except yourself. I'm completely fine protecting myself so just watch your back." Enyo stated, showing a rare arrogant side to her though it was still spoken in her usual monotone which made it sound awkward to listen to. Enyo jumped up high into the air, poofs of black smoke escaped under her feet which was a very subtle show of her Ryus (See her profile) to propel herself upward instead of her usual attacking use to jump on top of rocks and made her way to position herself as best she could above the cave entrance.

Fayn walked towards the training grounds slowly,closing her eyes as a cool breeze started blowing.Even a breeze like that was strong enough to whip up her crimson hair."Ugh!"
The guardian groaned,trying to hold her hair down while walking towards the grounds.She passed by the gate leading to the outsides of the base,listening to a guard apologise quickly.
That was weird..that gate guard was particularly haughty and proud,even though he was just a guard.
She stopped,looking towards the gate,watching a teenage girl step into the base of the Calivert Corp Base.
"Who's she..?"
Fayn wondered.You didn't usually see much teenagers around here.Well,she did see a teen everyday when she looked into a mirror every morning.Even though she was in her late teens,anyway.

Bridget felt it. There was someone watching her. She always had a sixth sense about that sort of thing. She turned around, and noticed a girl who had just past through the gate.
The girl had red hair. That was the most interesting thing about her. The girl wore just basic armor, and simple clothes. She was holding her hair, probably in an effort to keep it from moving into her face.
"Amteur, possibly still fresh from training. Looks like she just graduated this morning. Oh well...I'm bored."
Bridget marched straight up to the girl. "Entertain me," she ordered.

Fayn blinked once,letting her red hair drop and blow into her face.Was this girl actually ordering her to amuse her?
"Um,who're you?"
The guardian inquired,a curious expression on her face.
Most likely she's a child of someone high up in the Calivert Corps ranks..or maybe just touched in the head?
The thought sped through,quickly being discarded into the back of her mind as Fayn returned her attention to the girl standing infront of her.Maybe it was best to be careful even around children.

Bridget's bored face broke into a sly grin. She let out a low chuckle.
"Man! They don't teach these fresh off the farm new recuits anything anymore!" Her smile grew more evil. "I should tell Daddy they're slacking...get them all reasigned," she said, mostly to herself.
Her baby blues shifted to the guardian again. "You should really beg my forgiveness for your rudeness, but since you're new, I'll forgive you. Isn't that generous of me?" she asked, smiling smugly.
"I am Bridget Cross. Daughter of esteemed Council Member Sandra Cross and 1st class Marshall Henry Cross. My uncle happens to Tyrone Calcyte. He's probably someone you would know," she stated with habitual authority.
"Anyways, I'm bored. You are to accompany me to the cafeteria, and get me a snack."

"Tyrone Calcyte?That hunter?Fayn said a little doubtfully,glancing down at the girl she now knew as Bridget.
"But..nice to meet you,Bridget.I'm Fayn."
The girl said,unsure on how to interact with the higher-ups.
I was hungry anyway..
"Come on,the cafeteria's this way."
The guardian gestured towards the cafeteria.

Bridget rolled her eyes. "This one definately wasn't raised in high society."
The impatient girl grabbed the older one's arm. "I know where the cafeteria is, silly. This isn't my first time here."
She dragged poor woman to said building, and bust the door open. She let go of the woman, Fayn, and turned to her.
"Get us something to eat. I'll grab a table."

"Okay..geez."Fayn muttered as she was dragged along by the younger girl towards the cafeteria.
She watched as Bridget pushed the door open,pulling her inside and ordering her to get them something to eat.
"Okay..but,what do you want?"
The girl asked,feeling slightly annoyed.

((StormSilence, you need to start leaving spaces after your punctuation. Notice, how as I post this, there are spaces after the periods and the commas before the next word? You should be doing this as well. Question marks and exclamation points, too.))
