Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jordan glanced from Jerry to Candace, at Leon and Tedan facing off, the the gathering crowd, and then back at Jerry.

He managed a stiff smile. "Morning, Jerry. Excuse me, I haven't had my coffee." Not actually true, but he was absolutely not in the mood to deal with all of this awkwardness and idiocy at once. He skirted the gathering and headed down the hall towards the cafeteria.

Marcus shrugged at the newbie. "If they have an issue, they can duke it out now, or ******** up in battle and get themselves or someone else killed. Personally, I prefer them to duke it out now. Plus if the get hospitalized I am sure it's like Jordan said, Dr. H will fix em up real nice."

He motioned to Leon. "And you want to get in the way of Leon, be my guest. just be glad he and Jude aren't having a lover's spat."

Jerry- Jerry were you singing? Marcus shot the guy a confused look. "You.. really are a morning person aren't you?"

And- then a fight.

"...." Marcus grinned as they began to exchange blows. "Five bucks on Leon."

Oh...oh boy. They were fighting. And other than a couple of wet blankets, nobody seemed to mind! Otto leaned back against a wall, grinning evilly at Fiver.

Aah, memories of the old days~. Otto snickered. "So nothing among the Alphas and Zetas changed after all." They were still all ruthless backstabbers. Just like he left them.

Otto's eyes snapped open wide and glared furiously at Ryan. "SHADDUP! I ain't no kid!!" He snapped, curling his lip. One could possibly see the steam shoot from his ears.

Oh, what the hell was going on here.

One moment it was all happy fun tiems, and the next, two guys were suddenly swinging their fists at one another. Eva took a step forward with the intention of trying to break up the fight when she heard both Cass and Marcus speak. She stopped to consider their words.

It seemed that Chara agreed with them too. They have a point, She murmured, her voice even, Better to let them duke it out now than during a battle.

"I suppose." Eva sighed aloud, though she still looked a little uneasy. Maybe she just let go of things too easily, but for her, what happened in the past stayed in the past. Since these two guys didn't seem to believe in that though, she would just...look in some other direction and wait until they tired themselves out, she supposed. Ryan and Derryk's comments towards Otto seemed to be a good distraction, and they earned a grin from the young woman. "That's what I've been telling him, but alas. He just won't listen."

The was a pause, and then she stretched her hand out to them. "Sorry--I'm sure you guys have introduced yourself plenty of times already, but I don't remember your names. I'm Eva, though you can call me Evie."

Yup, just ignore those guys fighting behind you.

As much as Leon wanted to lay out this Tedan, Jordan just had to be on e man of clarity and remind him of Dr. H and his interesting ways of taking care of his patients. It was enough to cringe at the though as he dropped his guard and let the idiot punch his face and shove him off. "yeah yeah yeah, you got your shot in and I got my shot in, face to face." he grumbled out before pushing his own off button. "You can accept this and get over it, or continue and have your injuries dealt with by Dr. H and believe me... you don't want that. That goes for all of you that are new to the place." In all honestly, he would have loved to rip the brat a new one and the encouragement from Marcus was enough to make the boxer puff with pride.

he only gave the fast talking reaper a glance before putting his fist down in a more neutral position, at his sides. "Its old history, it just had to be settled, no big deal." he waved off the panic emanating from the guy and went back to the old tactic that worked against fiver. ignore, ignore, ignore. "Marcs, put your money away, or are you using those seeds?" he said in disdain and scowled at the swordsman and instead, prodded at the hooded trainee some more. "You got an assassin weapon there?"

And all of a sudden there were fights breaking out.

Gale had no particular desire to get into any of them. So he gravitated over to the non-angry area, ignoring the bickering and squabbling of the trainees to step over to Eva.

"Hey," he said, a bit quietly, his hands stuck in his pockets. He nodded to the others she was standing with, though he didn't know the hooded one.

"How are you guys doing so far? Enjoying the scenery?

Clearly Gale was doing what everyone else was - acting as if there was nothing going on behind them in the slightest.

Though Tedan usually wasn't one to just ... let something go after SOMEONE ELSE STARTED IT, the mention of Dr. H gave even him pause. Hell, that guy might just decide to shoot him in the head or something rather than patch him up if he got hurt. ********," he muttered, taking a few steps back from the other. Not now, at least. Maybe once he had a better handle on how to use Ardavan here, he could take the other down a peg or three. Deciding to ignore the other right the hell back, Tedan turned toward the kid who'd been singing and raised brows a bit. "Damn. Thought we got to use those golems or whatever, not actually go ourselves and fight."

Seeing how that was over more or less, Deryk went ahead and relaxed. That punch looked pretty solid so he tried to make a mental note to not piss off Leon. Ever. Whether or not he'd actually pull that off would be debatable.

"Oh. Ok. If you say so," he nodded. His gaze shifted back and forth between him and Marcus, who had also addressed him, "And yep! Hidden blade. And mebbe I'll be a little bit of both. Either way I'll be sure to try and take out the baddies. Pop in, make the kill, run. Should be simple. Right?"

If only he knew.
