Welcome to Gaia! ::

((ok, ignore my last post, this is better))

Elizabeth stopped. Placer leader?! Just her luck to get screwed like this!! She turned to face him, a confident smirk on his face.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to look like such a dork."
And with that she took off running.

Icarus glared at the fleeing girl, "Go ahead. Just don't hurt her... too much..." He grinned again, "To insult her superiors... what nerve... I should teach her some discipline."

Icarus' definition of discipline was pain, but he was still considered the friendliest of the commanding Placers, and compared to the ire of Adirian? He could be considered almost loving.

(Just so you know, Icarus is among the nicer leaders in Fold... The others are a bit more pissed than he is, but he actually likes it here.)

The Lotus Co. buildings looked like jewels shimmering in the rising sun. The signature flower, the lotus that made it's logo was a massive light on all sides of the spire, proclaiming the Lotus Corporation's presence. The building across the street from the spire was like a large sapphire, a brilliant blue when the light hit the glass. it almost seemed to glow.

Icarus strolled up to the gate room. the hallway behind was suddenly filled with loud clanging, as Placer Leader Chelsea stomped towards the cafeteria, still half-asleep but clad in her massive armor.

The other Placer leader, Calvin, sat on the floor of the room, having just returned from Third Shift.

"Oi! Gangster!" Calvin called to Icarus, who frowned at the name.

"What do you want, fuzz?" Came the sharp retort.

"Don't miss anyone!" The ex-cop Placer grinned as his assistant drone beeped with him.

"You should talk. Okay! Shift #1! We are working on Shondr's storyline in the forest, so move any stories of people in this shift either away or towards him. Remember, the less conflicts in stories we have, the better. The village of Daret is to be burned down in exactly one hour, and everyone in the town is to remember the army from the country of Garl doing the burning. Shift #2 will deal with Garl, so don't worry about it. Anyone without their gear will have a sixty-foot drop, so good luck to any moron who tries it. We'll gather your broken body at the end of the shift."

His announcement made, Icarus went up to the large blast door which covered the gate portal. "Opening in sixty seconds!" he grasped his key.

Icarus turned back towards the voice, "Ah! N.N! I take it you'll be joining us on our sweep then?"

"Good is relative, N.N." Icarus replied. He could see she didn't like to answer to him... People in Fold were all good at something, and Icarus was best at telling emotions. As a gang leader, his sweep plans were perfect, so he kept a leader role. N.N, he knew was one of the best, but her weapons skills weren't on par with Calvin (but who's were? the man slept with weapons in his bed!) And Chelsea knew more about Telanis than anyone.

The Placer leaders weren't perfect, but nobody was...

Elizabeth slowed to a steady pace. She was SO screwed for that, but, whatever. She stopped altogether when she heard quick footsteps from around the corner. Acting instinctively, she ducked into the nearest room to avoid anyone. She was surprised to see the small, gray haired girl from before. The girl stopped, looking around.
"Where is the meanie?," she pouted. "She deserves a good smack in the face." It was then that Elizabeth noticed a large TAIL sticking out the bottom of her dress. HOLY CRAP. Didn't notice that before. The girl ran off to search for her some more, saving Elizabeth, who at that moment fell on her face from shock. Now she understood how that girl was a Placer.
