Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gale shrugged a little, giving Ayla a scrutinizing glance. "Divisions are pre-assigned before you're awakened, but if you feel like you could be of more use elsewhere later on, you can request a transfer to a different one." He reached a hand up, idly brushing away a few strands of white blonde hair that had fallen into his face. "There are pros and cons to all of the divisions. As time goes by, you'll probably be able to figure out which lot you fit into best."

He slid his gaze sideways back to Peyton. "Don't worry," he told her. "It'll wear off eventually. Unfortunately, you tend to get used to things far too quickly here."

Like the whole trauma and death thing, his mind said, but Gale shoved those thoughts aside quickly, Jinhai crooning softly inside of his thoughts in an attempt to be reassuring.

The weapon question made his lips quirk upwards, just slightly, as though he might be tempted to smile.

"A sniper rifle," he said. "And you? Picked up your weapon yet?"

A rifle? That had lavender eyes going momentarily wide. Somehow she hadn't really considered the possibility of firearms for as possible weapon options, though she wasn't entirely sure why. It wasn't as if anything on this island followed any set definition of normal, so why should the weapons fall into any specific classification? No reason at all.

Lips pursed thoughtfully, she tried to imagine the idea of partnering with a gun, but finally had to concede that choice or not, she was happy with her partner and the form he took. Warrick gave a rumbling laugh in her head, pleased at her acceptance, which Peyton ignored.

"Nuckledusters." She grinned, rubbing forefingers along the thick gold bands that circled her thumbs. Warrick wasn't perfect, but Peyton wasn't complaining. She couldn't imagine she was the easiest to get along with, yet hhe'd chosen her. That counted for something.

She could sympathize with Ayla though. If she'd gotten paired up with someone that she simply couldn't mesh well with.. No. Just no.

Too bad for Al, Solia liked mice.

"Hey."

"Hey."

She held her pies close. "I need to test these pies." She held up the two. She was pretty sure one was apple.
"You just tested one for me." So had others, but then others were doing other things. "Scale of one to ten how good was it? and were any drugs in it?"

Serious matters, pies.

"Patches?" Peyton's head tilted. "That's a nickname, I assume?" If there was someone else on the island with the same kind puff weapon, then Pey wanted to meet them. "Are they here?" She looked around the room as if expecting someone to step forward and raise their hand. Of course that didn't happen.

Pale eyes returned to the soft spoken girl that had joined them. "What's your name?" Also division, rank, height.... It was hard to tell with them both sitting down, but Peyton would bet this new girl was within an inch or two of her own height.

Tuck felt certain that his mission was pretty much accomplished, and slowly started edging towards the door.

Tuck gave Peyton a huge grin and did his best innocent angel impression.

< < Astoundingly astute, > > Thane drawled with a mental roll of his eyes, while Stormy bobbed her head at Peyton and then quickly shook it. "Nickname, yes, here, no. I haven't seen her in a while actually . . ." She looked a little down at that realization, but added for the sun hunter's benefit with several gestures, "Reddish hair, tanned skin, eye patch, scars, flipflops, talks funny. Can't miss her.

"Me? Oh, Stormy's just fine. Mist division." Placid as ever, she nibbled some more of her pie as Al came over, again gesturing with her fork. "Aladdin--'Al' works. Staff, too?" Stormy asked curiously, always happy to learn about the different partners hunters had. "Super neat~ Peyton here has one. What're they like, your partners?"

<He right you know, but I will just be even worse to you now because you called me annoying>

Then all the giggles erupted in her head.

Makayla hissed a few curse words under her breath as she looks towards Gale for a moment "Is there anyway of getting them to shut up?" please of please, she just needed some way of getting Liyu to shut her mouth.

"Her name is Liyu, and right now she acting like a bratty, snot nose child." she pause as she glance around towards the others, suddenly wondering if she blanked out or something.

Giving a sheepish wave, she looks back down at her pie.
