Welcome to Gaia! ::

((ooc -_-;; well, looks like I will have to step in for Darkfyre ^^;; I want us to get going))

Just as Tide complaining about Lance's request, the sound of someone running closer caught Lance's ear. The door to the meeting room was thrown open, as the man rushed in, "Lance! The animals in the woods are acting very strangely, someone got hurt! There are people gathering up getting ready to go after the animals!"

Lance is at his feet now, "Change of plans, guys. Gether up our man, we are going to the woods."

"Heh... interruped from your training. You should have been up here, learning about our new mission." Luncent said, not even bothering to turn his ears toward the newcomer. "So, we're going to investigate the animals acting oddly in the woods, then? Allright. "

Rey hold his bow tightly as he wanders through the huge place. He is aware of nearly everything going on around him. But he wished he knew where everyone was especially his young leader Lance.

Lance can only sign toward Tide's attitude. Making his way outside, he have only one thing on his mind, the animals are not acting right, and the people are in danger if he does not do something fast.

((ooc.. ok everyone make your 'move' post here and post in the 1.4 quest thread.. for the 'there part' ))

Rico stands slowly... getting the feel within the movement that there was confirmination.. and walks out of the room calmly and out to the village witht he group. He sniff the air occasionally, looking around and feeling as if something was amiss, yet he shrugs it off his mind and aproaches the village, standing there by lance and the others, rolling out his neck some feeling somewhat better.

A boy in his early teenage years found himself in the main hall without ever realizing that he had entered. Most of his weight seemed to be shifted to his right leg, and his left wasn't bending quite right. He looked around, blinking a few times.

"How'd I... where... oh, dammit, I hate it when that happens." His voice echoed through the hall for a bit before he decided to take a look around. He only made it one step, however, before collapsing. "For the luva... what'd I do to my leg?" Grumbling to himself angrily, he rolled onto his back, grasped it firmly, and with a sickening pop put it back in it's joint. It had worked, but he still felt like he had been run over by an onager. He slowly and carefully got back to his feet, springing up and down on his left leg slightly. "It'll do until I can get some professional help." Still limping heavily (but staying on his feet), he found his way into the infirmary sitting on a bed neary the man who he'd later come to know as Tide, he spoke up.

"I thought I was in dire straits..." he snapped his fingers a few times to see if they were even awake.

A bead of sweat began to roll down the side of the boy's head as he came much closer to his own death than he would have expected in an infirmary. He didn't seem to let onto this, nor the relief that escaped his lips when the man let go. How do I get myself into these messes... now people in the damn infirmary are trying to cut my head off - what'd I do this time? After recieving an appology, however, he felt marginally better. Still, he kept his mouth shut for the moment as the man continued to speak. No point in igniting a burning ember.

As the man tried to get out of bed, he didn't feel right just standing there, so he tried to help them sit up. "Hey, hey, you sure it's such a good idea to just get up and go? You're obviously not in the best shape to..." His voice trailed off a bit as the man threw a question at him. For some reason 'I just kinda showed up here without remembering exactly how' didn't work... he had been chased out of more than a few places for an excuse like that, and this time it wasn't even an excuse! Still, with no information about where he was or how he had arrived, he had to take a gamble with what he said next.

"Me? My name's Ransom..." then, picking up a name he had heard one of the passing medics mention, "Lucent recomended me." A second sweat drop joined the first.

"Well, if you insist. Okay, just lean on my shoulder there..." said Ransom, trying to help Tide up out of bed. Although he got the feeling that this guy might just decide to slit his throat for no real reason whatsoever, he had to start earning someone's trust here. As far as he could remember he wasn't sent in to infiltrate the place, so he figured it couldn't hurt to befriend them.

"Not every man needs to swing a sword around to win a war you know," said the boy in an almost thoughtful tone. "From the greatest wars to the smallest skirmishes, even a single word can make all the difference. Don't you think it would be interesting to see a war fought and one without a single drop of blood spilled?" He shrugged, chuckling to himself a bit as he made sure that Tide was on his feet and not struggling too much. "Well... anyways, Tide, Sir, I can defend myself when absoultely necessary, but my main weapon consists of words and treachery. I'm a spy, so to speak... no more than a common thief that knows how to get what he wants or needs in slightly unconventional ways."

He laughed a bit to himself, rubbing the shoulder that he had let Tide use to get up. "My telling you all this now should be a testament of trust, but that's up to you to decide. I have not been here long, so I don't know much at all about the way this place is structured, or anything else of importance. But if you do kick me out, you may be losing somone valuable. Think about it." He grinned widely as he took a seat on an unoccupied bed.
