Welcome to Gaia! ::

(yes bili i suck at names Q.Q)

A groan was heard from within the dorm hall, it was loud enough that anyone nearby would have heard it. She was just SO frustrated! It was one of THOSE days. Where you feel like nothing you do is productive, where you try and do something and always seem to fail at it no matter how hard you tried. Where even just attempting to read a book did not even sound like a good idea.

It was annoying, tiresome, and it made her a bit irritable. So what did the woman do? Take her emotions outside and try and walk it off. It was a beautiful day outside anyways, cooler than some of the other humid days of recent, so why the heck not? Boots clinking on the ground was enough to announce her approach if it were not for the shrill noise of music nearby.

Music?

Curiosity peaked, she soon found herself following the melody like a bee to nectar, and found its source. A lanky man sat down, seemingly in tune with his own harmony. She was so curious about what sort of instrument that was that she did not pay attention too the man, more curious about the object he held. "What IS that? Its beautiful!" Yeah she broke the silence, was probably rude to but... too late now.

She resisted the urge to ask 'beach mission?' when it was mentioned, he assumed she was there? ... Maybe she should just roll with that then, or jsut say nothing? She would rather not have the world know where she was for a few months, a sign of her being an utter failure. She was DETERMINED to make up for these past mistakes, she would get stronger. The Trainee hunter was determined.

"It plays beautiful music, How did you learn? Self taught?" This was around the time that she noticed not only the full Hunter coat, but the scars. The hunter coat on its own was enough to catch her breath, but... the scars. She couldn't help it, she stared at them. Oh god just what the heck happened to this poor man?

They all had war wounds it seemed, when would she get her first one?

.." OH! Excuse my manners, I am Ceres."

Still staring she noticed just briefly as his own face started to shift colors (she was staring after all), and when she flicked her eyes to the side, she caught his eyes with her own.

Now it was her time to blush.

"Im sorry I'm sorry, I did not mean to be rude." She mumbled quickly, staring down at the ground fists clasped together in front of her. "I've just, your the second person I've met recently with burn scars. It seems to be a trend..." She couldn't help it, she had started medical school for a reason, stuff like this fascinated her.

Ironically the other burned one was also a sun hunter. They seemed more scarred up than the moons! Reaching a hand out in return as he offered first, her face still tinged red, she shook the hand back firmly. "Moon trainee, and you were just promoted? Congratulations!" Ceres said with emphasis, truly meaning it. That meant this man had a lot of influence around here, its a wonder she had not met him before the pod incident. Though he did look familiar, maybe she had seen him?

Once she took her hand back, the girl found herself raising her hands, palms towards him, in a defensive pose. "Oh no, not me. Thanks but i honestly can't strum a cord to save my life. Music was neeeever my strong point." She tried, actually. Violin. Middle school, not pretty. Never picked another instrument up again.

"I think you play well enough for the both of us anyways." My could probably combine many people and play enough for them, he was really good!

"Yeah im honestly waiting for me to get my first scar, it seems a right of passage around here almost to have one." Everyone seemed to have some sort of scar! "And actually i was just wandering around because i was moody, trying to blow off some steam." A pause, she stared up in the air thoughtfully.

"...But apparently your company has cured me of this. Maybe all i needed was some music." She laughed, shrugged, and thought about something else. "Would you be up for a spar, actually come to think of it? I fully expect you to whoop my butt but, one way to learn?"

"Oh C'mon, how else am i going to learn if i DONT up up against better trained individuals? Sure i might have a better fighting chance if i went up against a trainee, but something tells me i might learn more if i went up against a impossible foe." The said stubbornly, something that was a trait her hers that anyone whom knew her would recognize. Once she made her mind up it was damn hard to change it.

"...Please?" Being nice usually works. "I wont hold back either you know."

"Hey man, you made hunter for a reason, take some credit!" She said happily, jogging a little ahead to get to the field. Not that she really needed to jog, only then did she notice the limp.

...Did she just ask a cripple to fight? Oh god. "...Are you sure your ok to fight? I mean... sorry i just, i cant tell if your limp is a new injury or yeah just...sorry... my medical training is saying i shouldn't..." Oh yeah she was babbling. Taking a breath in, she closed her eyes, centered herself, and slowly let it out. "Will battling now hurt your leg more?" She wouldn't fight if it did.

Hmm, part of her felt bad for attacking the man when he limped like that but... He was a hunter and...

...

"Holy s**t." She couldn't stop herself from mumbling those words, wide eyed, as he summoned Roar. His. weapon. Was. HUGE. And a freaking BAZOOKA at that? Holy hell, this was what it meant to be a hunter? She let out a low whistle of appreciation. "Nice."

Close your mouth and stop gawking or you'll start to catch flies. The voice rumbled through her mind, bringing her back to present times enough to remember oh wait, battle. Yes. Reaching out she brushed a hand over the belt buckle, golden and warm to the touch. Her own curved blade was summoned to her hand a moment later. "As ready as i'll ever be."

Oh god what have i gotten in to... the thought came and went just as quickly as she stared at the gaping mouth of the hunters weapon.

"Sword, huh? Those are grea-akk!" He dodged back, but not quick enough to stop the flailing weapon from slicing into him. Oh, no no no, fist time wearing his new coat out and about he was not about to get it torn during a spar. "Ahaha that was a nice one!" He murmured politely before side stepping and taking aim-

She might have managed to get a good blow in, but she also put herself in near point blank position of Roar's muzzle. There was just a flicker of green light before the explosion of sound knocked her back, and even Jerry staggered from the massive blow before he was able to anchor him back onto his shoulder.

Ooooh yes, this is nice, Roar purred.

"We aren't going to use your Fear release okay? We don't want to HURT her," He hissed before calling out, "You alright over there??"
