Redemption

[size=1][b]Teigra tapped her foot impatiently. She didn't like to be kept waiting when she was in her 'hunting' mode. Garet was late. A man codenamed Black Wolf had entered into the room she and Hamano were waiting patiently in. " What's taking them so long..." Teigra cursed in Italian under her breath. Shifting her coat out of the way, she took one of her throwing knives out of her strapped thigh pocket and began twirling it between her fingers. It took a lot of skill to make sure every time the knife revolved it didn't cut you. Hamano watched Teigra out of the corner of her eye. Teigra could become troublesome, if she so wished to be. A sly smirk came to Teigra's lips. " Hamano," Teigra started, the smile still on her lips. " Yes Teigra?" Hamano answered, turning her head slightly to the side to half look at who was speaking to her. " How long do you think we could be waiting?" " I don't know. I heard the announcement just like you guys." Teigra twirled the small knife in the air like a twirling batton, and caught it again. " I don't like waiting when I'm like this." Hamano gave a small laugh. " Complain to the boss, not me." " Don't shoot the messenger, right?" " Heh. Exactly." Teigra's fingers began to itch. She just wanted to back out into the real world and do some jobs. When she is like this, patience isn't one of her greatest virtues. The silver trigger of her gun glinted magnificently. It was begging to be used. Her high-powered H&K P8 handgun was only used as one of her last resorts, or if she was feeling particularly blood-thirsty or vengeful. The knife in her hand was becoming rather boring. Flicking by the handle, Teigra made it embed itself all the way up to the hilt into the wooden wall opposite her. " I'm sick of waiting already."[/b][/size]

[color=purple][size=1]Well it all depends what other positions are available, and if we are allowed to take multiple positions. I don't think my character would be a good canditate for this position because she focuses on stealth, undercover work and marksmanship. And Inuyasha Fandom, I say you can join on the condition you post regularly and of adequate standard.[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=purple]Lol. He'd better come back. Raven still has a bone to pick with him!!!!![/color][/size]

[size=1][color=purple]Now I understand what the hell is going on. >_< So, you expect one of the freshmen, or one of the older students to take her place?[/color][/size]

[color=purple][size=1]That's good. I really don't want to be posting to myself.... >_< And I haven't missed out the fact that you're in too Astdis, good to see![/color][/size]

[b][size=1]Teigra whirled around at the announcement. She was in the Mammal squad. She stopped, looking down to the tunnel. Sean stopped, wondering what was going on. He sensed a total change in Teigra's character. The vibes that came from her were dark and almost.... evil. Her blue-grey eyes sharpened into slits like a cat's. " Teigra?" he asked. " Sorry Sean, that's my exit cue," she said with a rather wicked tone to her voice. She shrank into the shadows, disappearing. [center]----------------------------------------------------[/center] Teigra arrived in her new room, grabbing her mission coat from the hanger and sliding it on. She slid on her thigh straps with the majority of her weapons equipped to them. The only ones that weren't around her hips or thigh were two small kadochis that lay strapped to her back. Her slit eyes searched around her room as she flexed her fingers like a cat would stretch their claws. " Time to rumble..." [center]----------------------------------------------------[/center] Silently slipping from shadow to shadow, Teigra passed like a ghost towards the armory. This was the first time any of the others had really seen her in her 'hunting' mode. She wasn't codenamed the 'Black Panther' for nothing. Her undercover work and her ability to move secretly through the shadows had earned her that name in the Underworld - and it was well deserved. Once she reached the armory and checking that the coast was clear, Teigra stepped out of the shadows, her eyes bare cat slits. Hamano was already there. Garet was the only one left.[/size][/b]

[color=#CC0099][size=1]Katima knelt over Richard, Talyn and Thayne. The three of them had taken serious injuries. But thanks to Jade, Thayne and Richard had been saved from serious harm. However, Talyn was the worst out of the three of them. Katima gritted her teeth. When he got better, there was a lot of explaining for him to do. But, thanks to him, the vampires had been taken care of. Was it worth it to get so injured over though? " Someone get the stewardess. I want a medical kit now as we roll onto the runway," she ordered through gritted teeth. Priest and Ena went off to the front of the plane to search for a medical kit. The wounds could be roughly stitched up. He couldn't wait for a hospital care in London when they arrived. Something had to be done now. They were drawing a lot of attention to themselves. The passengers of the plane were thinking they were some sort of terrorists and some even started to panic, causing a ruckus. Katima assigned Jade and Sin to calm them down as she inspected all three mens' injuries more properly. The plane rocked side to side softly and jumped up and down as it mades its way out onto the runway. There was no way Katima could get Talyn into a seat in this condition. She asked Ena and Priest to strap Richard and Thayne into a seat before take-off - she'd have to hold Talyn to the ground as the plane ascended. " Everyone, into their seats," Katima said as she began to tie an empty chair's seat belt to her wrist just in case anything happened during take-off and they needed to make a forced landing. " Will you be okay Katima?" Jade asked as she strapped herself in. " Yes. Talyn was foolish enough to do this to himself and save us all. I feel I have to repent somehow," Katima replied as she locked her arms around the uppermost of Talyn's chest, keeping well away from his wound. It was still bleeding profusely, even though she had put her coat around the wound. The plane wheeled around onto the runway and the engines began to kick into full force. The pilot hit the accelerator and the plane began to speed up, making the necessary lift needed to fly. As the plane tilted, Katima held onto the strap firmly, holding Talyn the best she could without hurting him. It was a steep ascent. But soon enough, they were flying at an acceptable altitude and the seatbelt sign was switched off. Katima prayed that none of the injured's blood had thinned too much. Most of their group had unbuckled their seatbelts and made thier way over to their injured comrades. They looked to Katima searchingly. " Priest, Ena, could both of you stitch up Richard's arm the best you are able? All we need is to stop it bleeding for the length of the flight. Jade and Sin, are the passengers calm?" " As much as they could be with our grand debut," Sin smiled with sarcasm sharp on his tongue. Jade sniggered and Katima gave a weak smile. " Good," she said, " Could you two see to Thayne to see if he's in any discomfort and to check his wound? It doesn't seem too bad to the eye, but I need to make sure he is all right." " Rightio," Jade said, her Australian accent thick in her speech. They moved over to their friend to inspect his wound. Katima sighed and lay Talyn against the floor gently. She stood and walked over to some stunned stewardess. " Sorry about the mess and the havoc we've caused. We're not terrorists. We're just people that got caught up in what happened in the airport," Katima said, trying to sound as innocent as possible, " My friend is very hurt. Could I ask if he could be moved to business class to let him lie down?" The stewardess looked at each other then back at Katima. They seemed to have lapped up the excuse she had given them. " We have a few seats to spare. Would you be needing anything else?" one of the girls' asked tentatively. " If there are any pressure bandages or bigger ones that the ones in the medical kit, then I would like those if I may." They nodded. One girl showed Katima to the seat for Talyn while the other rummaged around for the bandages Katima required. She walked back to Talyn and heaved him onto her shoulders, taking him to the laid out seat. Tentatively, she put him down, making sure his wound wouldn't leave any blood behind by covering the seat with towels. The people in business class looked rather stunned and horrified at Talyn's bloody mess of a body. Katima ignored them as set to work on stitching up the wound. Half an hour later, Katima had Talyn's wound stitched and dressed. He looked like he hadn't felt much of the pain in his unconsciousness. Some of the people are here were watching her through the entire process, a few getting up to be sick in the plane's toilet. Katima herself stood and went to the bathroom to wash off the blood on her hands. Locking herself in, she washed the red liquid off her hands. She sat down on the toilet seat, calming herself down. " Why.... why Kalei did you make me second-in-command.... why isn't Tegan second-in-command for god-sakes....." With that, she punched to side of her, slamming her clenched fist into the metal plating. It left a large dint and the sound must have alarmed the other passengers. Katima left the cubicle and walked back to Talyn's side. She sat on the floor beside him and laid her head down on his lap. She hoped he was going to be ok. With that, she fell asleep.[/color][/size]

OOC: Sorry for posting soooo late. Things got out of hand here. Kairi knows because I have explained to him. Anyway, thought it would give you something for my Card Kairi, you evil evil man. [color=#CC0000][size=1]Allegra scrolled down through the lovely email this Master-of-Games had sent her. The offer was very enticing, but she couldn't help but feel there had to be some sort of catch to this. The rules were peculiar to say the least. She didn't understand them at this present moment in time, however, once she arrived at this mansion, she would probably understand. She began typing her reply: [INDENT]To the Master Of Games, I will happily agree to play your little game with you. I expect this shall be fun to your twisted humour, no offense intented. Just an observation from your email to which I am replying to currently. I will be waiting your transportation. Yours playfully, Allegra Judas[/INDENT] With one click of her mouse, she sent the message to this Master of Games. Allegra began to pack her things that she needed for a trip. The contents of the email kept going through her head. She needed to pound those rules into her mind so it would become second nature. After her things were packed, she rang her brother, Kato. " Hello?" he answered on the other side. " Kato. Nice to hear that you're back from Spain." " You never introduce yourself in your first sentence when you call do you Allegra?" " It's a habit." She heard his chuckle to himself. " So what is my little sister calling me about?" " Do you have the next couple of monthes off?" " Yeah, I do. Why?" " Good. I'm going on a holiday. I know its sudden and all but my leave just came through. And I was wondering if you could take care of my place for a while? I know Mirra isn't here because she's in America doing what she does." " So I'm second choice huh?" " You know I don't..." " Just kidding with you. Sure, I'll take care of your place. And Oliver?" " Oh, could you take care of him too please?" " Sure. Me and him will have a great time. Just the cat and me." " I'm sure Julia won't mind him." " Nah... she loves cats." " Good." There was the sound of a taxi beeping down on the street. " That's my exit cue. Later bro. Say hi to Mirra for me if she comes home earlier than expected." " Sure. Have fun." Allegra hung up. [i]Have fun...[/i] She smiled to herself as her brother's last words rang in her ears. Picking up her suitcase and her backpack, she walked downstairs, gave the keys to Pierre, the manager of the apartment building, telling him that Kato was going to pick them up later, and walked out to the taxi. The taxi driver got out and gave a small bow. " Miss Judas... I'm here to take you to the airport." There was a sudden rumbling in the sky. Allegra hadn't noticed that a storm had brewed. She looked back at the driver and shrugged her shoulders. " Looks like I'm going to be late to the party." [center]------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center] It was well after dusk when Allegra arrived at the Master's mansion. It was truly a sight to behold. A magnificent Scottish mansion on a green hillside, surrounded by spectacular gardens. Pity she couldn't see much of it as the limousine's tires crunched the gravel beneath it, arriving at the mansion. When the car stopped, Allegra got out and, with the help of the driver, lugged her luggage into the foyer room. There was no one inside, as she had expected from being so late. Allegra was kind of put-out from not being able to meet anyone, but she couldn't help with the weather. A maid came down the magnificent Grand staircase and greeted Allegra warming. " Hello. Welcome to the Master's mansion." " Hi," Allegra replied warmly. " Sorry about the lateness. There was a nice delaying blizzard in Switzerland." " Yes, the Master already knows. He wishes to instruct me to show you your room and to tell you that dinner is at 6pm sharp." " Oh... well lead me." The maid turned on her heel and walked up the staircase. Allegra followed, hauling both her suitcase and her backpack now. It was minutes later when they came to Allegra's room. It looked much like her room when she was a child in Tuscany. Shivers ran down her spine as she entered. It looked uncannily like her room in Tuscany. The Master had done his research well, finding out the skeleton in her closet. The maid left with a small bow and shut the door behind her. It was 5.30pm. Allegra quickly had a shower and got herself dressed in a nice red holter neck top with dark denim hipster jeans. She adorned her ears with large hoop earrings and her neck with a small necklace of a cross with a phoenix wrapped around it. This was the symbol of her family and she wore it on special occasions only. Walking out into the corridor, Allegra made her way to the dining hall. She found that it was yet another magnificent room, lavishly adorned with golden pieces of crockery and cutlery. There were a few other people sitting at the table already. Allegra found herself a spare seat, not beside anyone for the moment, and waited for dinner to begin.[/color][/size]

[color=purple][size=1]Well don't we have to do something about Malik? And what's this about the destiny of Kalei, Katima and Tegan? After Kalei is rescued..... I dunno what we should do. Maybe something about those elders perhaps?[/color][/size]

[size=1][b]Teigra turned around, hearing what Sean, codenamed Stone Rook, was saying to her. There was a large biscuit hanging out of her mouth as she turned around. She looked at his extended hand. She shook it after wiping the crumbs off her hands. He sniggered, seeing the biscuit in her mouth. After eating it rather hastily, she looked at Sean again. " Sorry about that. Caught me in a rather embarrassing position." " Could have been worse," Sean replied, smiling. " Yes, very true. So, what's your name?" " Oh, right. I'm Sean, codenamed Stone Rook." " Nice to meet you. You already know who I am, so there's no need for doing it twice." " True." They walked along the corridors, passing their dormitories and the mess hall. Teigra wondered what Bobby was doing. Sean must of noticed that she looked distant because he asked her what was wrong. " Oh nothing," Teigra replied, " I was just wondering what Bobby, a friend of mine, was doing now. He's here too. Only met him yesterday." " Oh, you mean that guy that had the tussle with the leopard?" Sean asked. " Yes, him. He was my room-mate, along with a guy called Wasp..." " A room with three people?" " Yes, but then I was moved this morning, rather suddenly too but nevertheless moved, to a room with this guy called Copperhead." " That's rough." " Mmm." They walked past some of the more advanced students classes, amazed at what they had seen. Teigra what amazed at the Stunt class. There were some students that did some amazing things that Teigra had wished to do all her life but had never found anyone to teach her. Her attention was brought back to Sean when he asked a question. " What class do we have next?" " Melee," Teigra replied. Yet another essential class to her. " Who's the teacher?" Sean quizzed. " Alejondro. I think one of the older students mentioned he was from Cuba. Should be interesting."[/size][/b] OOC: Take it from there ShagaMage! ^_^

OOC: Sorry haven't posted in a while. Things sorta go outta hand here. It's all good now though. Sorry about the mundane post too. [color=#CC0099][size=1]Katima flitted side to side, dodging the attacks of a nearby vampire. A few had surrounded her and tried to take her out, but this only made Katima pissed off. Her [i]Dark Flame Chain[/i] wheeled around in the air, sometimes catching one or two of the vampires in the sides, scarring them deeply. The dark-fire burned them to their amazement. All had second thoughts about attacking this seemingly weak female. Katima whipped the [i]Chain[/i] around so she held it in both hands. " These ones are tougher than the others. Maybe Malik has sent us some that actually have some resilence to Wakanda powers. Finally... something interesting to do." The civilians watching the group killed off these supposed-imaginary creatures were either frozen with terror, or running for their lives in panic. Some of the vampires had caught a few of the civilians and devoured them in front of the others. Katima saw one young child standing there, terror written outwardly on her small face. The feeling of terror made her remember her first encounter with a vampire. [INDENT][i]The night was dark. Clouds covered the moon so thickly that it was impoosible for the moonlight to seep through. Katima, only 7 years of age, walked beside Kalei with her brother Tegan on Kalei's other side. Katima clutched Kalei's hand firmly. Tonight was the night that she was going to encounter her first vampire. She shuddered in fear. Kalei had taught her and her twin brother about vampires and how to kill them. But she had never ever seen one before. Looking up at Kalei's face, Katima knew that something was going to happen soon. Kalei had warned them before they left that they would be targeted. When Tegan asked Kalei for a reason, she paused for a moment before saying it was because they were small children. Katima didn't quite believe her. " Kalei....." Katima said softly, looking around almost paranoid. " What is is Katima?" Kalei cooed softly, not looking down to the small child. " They're coming aren't they?" Katima asked. Tegan looked up at Kalei too, a look of fear on his face too. " Can you feel them?" Kalei asked back. Katima shook her head. " I can tell by the look on your face." Kalei stiffled a laugh. " Yes, we are being followed. Did I not mention that you two would be targetted by these creatures?" " But...." Tegan began to say, " We're only children. Why are they targetting us?" " It's because normal children are easy prey. They also have somewhat fresher blood than adults because of their age. To a weak vampire, children are the perfect prey. But you two are far from normal children. Lucky for us, they don't know that...... yet."[/i][/INDENT] Holding her [i]Dark Flame Chain[/i] tightly, Katima dodged two vampires, sprinting over to the littel girl that was about to become the prey of an advancing vampire. " Dark Flame Chain Scythe!" she muttered. A small scythe piece appeared on the end of the [i]Flame Chain[/i]. Whirling it around, Katima somersaulted into the air, landing between the girl and the vampire. With one quick revolution of the chain, Katima removed its head with the scythe piece while using the other end to restrict both arms behind him. One pull of the chain and both his arms came clean off. The little girl clung to Katima's legs as they both watched the vampire fall to the floor, burning up into a pile of ash. It was true what Kalei had said, that weak vampires preyed on children. Katima left the presence of the girl as her mother rushed up and grabbed her away from Katima, thinking that she too was dangerous. Katima had turned to watch the little girl wave at her and upon turning back, she witnessed the tussle between Talyn and the vampire that was now a pile of ash. " Talyn!" She ran over to him and caught him before he hit the ground. He was losing a lot of blood. " Damn..." She took off her jacket and used it as a make-shift bandage. She shook her head at herself when she thought he'd better appreciate this because it was her favourite jacket. Looking up, her eyes began to turn a blood red colour. " Stay there Talyn. I won't let anyone else touch you." Thayne had been hit by a bullet. Thankfully Jade had removed it before it became too much of a problem. [b]We need to finish these off and get on our plane.[/b] The boarding call was announced over the PA. Obviously the management or security of the airport hadn't heard of the supernatural scuffle occuring in one of the private boarding wings. " EVERYONE FINISH THEM OFF QUICKLY! THAT WAS OUR BOARDING CALL!" Katima yelled over the sounds of the fight. All nodded, agreeing with her. It was time to finish them off and head quickly to the plane.[/color][/size] OOC: You heard what Katima said.

[size=1][b]Target practice... Teigra groaned. Mariannawas testing the abilities of all students. There was herself, a man called Trevor, codenamed Baracuda, and another man called Sean, codenamed Stone Rook. Sean was using his sniper rifle and Baracuda was practicing with his handgun. However, Teigra was practicing with her throwing needles and knives. Her accuracy was a bit off today. It must have been the shock of being rudely awaken that morning. [i]Come on Teigra.... what's wrong with you girl? You're usually better than this. Concentrate.... see the target..... close your eyes and concentrate....[/i] Teigra regulated her breathing, trying to calm herself. She closed her eyes and imagined the target before her. [i]Lets show them what I can do![/i] With three needles in her left hand, Teigra flung them towards the target. All hit the critical areas: the head, the neck and the heart. When she opened her eyes, she was amazed at what she had accomplished. " Well done," Marianna commented from behind her. " You'll have to practice more with ambient noise. It seems that you have to physically stop and concentrate to hit the target. In a desperate situation, that would hinder you." " Right," Teigra agreed. The two boys' guns were enough to distract her. " That's it for class for now. Train until tomorrow's class. You'll need it. [center]-----------------------------------------[/center] Teigra walked down to the mess hall. She wanted to grab something to eat before her next class.[/size][/b]

[color=blue][size=1]I agree with Kenshinsbabe. The RP is great so far. The teachers' personalities are wonderfully malicous and calculating - as assassin teachers should be. I'd like a little more in-depth posts from you however with these teachers, and making sure to include everyone's characters in them. Example: You posted using the character Maurice for Kenshinsbabe, XZY and silverwolf_fang, where myself, Chief Predator and hugoxx are left with no teacher-student interaction. I know you might say that Chief Predator and hugoxx haven't posted that they haven't gotten to class yet, but I have. That might sound selfish.... a lot. Oh well. You could have divided the post into two, one section for the Stealth class, the other for the other class. That's about all I have to post now.[/color][/size]

[color=#CC0000][size=1][b]Name:[/b] Allegra Judas [b]Age:[/b] 24 [b]Sex:[/b] Female [b]Location:[/b] Switzerland [b]Appearance:[/b] See attachment [b]Personality:[/b] Allegra is stubborn to a fault. She doesn't like being told what to do or how to do things unless it is any of her commanding officers, comrades, authorities or teachers. However, to many peoples' amazement, she is rather cheerful and energetic most of the time. She only become serious when on an assignment, or some job for the department she works for. An odd party or night out with her colleagues isn't unusual for her. Allegra enjoys sport - snowboarding in the winter and soccer or volleyball in the summer. [b]Bio:[/b] Allegra grew up in the countryside of Italy, in Tuscany to be precise. There she lived with her mother, father, two older brothers and one younger sister. Her father made some of the finest wine in Tuscany and it was all done the old, traditional way. Her mother was a teacher in the large town nearby where all the children attended. When Allegra was about 7, her oldest brother, Vincent, 15, began to get involved with a new type of drug. It was a hallucinogen, a very strong one. It also had some other effects on his mind, such as losing his memory and, at times, being rather violent and abusive. On one fateful day in early June when Allegra was 9, Vincent, 17, came home high and insane. He had a scuffle with two of his fellow students earlier that day, and he took some of these illegal drugs to calm himself down. Instead, they made him hallucinate and murderous. Thinking his parents were the two students from earlier, Vincent took a large cooking knife and stabbed them in front of his brother and Allegra. Allegra's other brother, Kato, 16, held Vincent off, allowing Allegra to run upstairs to get her younger sister, Mirra, 7. When the two girls came back downstairs, Vincent had manage to stab Kato in the side. Mirra screamed, alarming the neighbours. The neighbours managed to come over and tried to restrain Vincent. But before they could, he took his own life by means of the knife. Allegra saw all of this, trying to shield her younger sister from the images she had seen. The police arrived soon after. Kato was sent to hospital to recover, but their parents had died that day. After this incident, they sold their home in Tuscany and moved to Switzerland where they lived with their mother's sister. The three grew up as normally as they tried without being reminded of their past in Italy. Kato became a lawyer after going to university in London. Mirra became an international diplomat for Switzerland. Allegra joined the police force, initially in the drug squad. She rose through the ranks until she transferred into the undercover/terrorism squad. [b]Greatest Desire:[/b] To be a successful detective and retire to a quiet area in Tuscany, Italy, where she could be an instructor for up-and-coming police officers. [b]Greatest Fear:[/b] Her own blood and being murdered for revenge.[/color][/size]

[color=blue][size=1]I dunno if this is considered J-Pop, but I like Asian Kung Fu Generation (mainly from the opening song of [b]Naruto[/b] "Haruka Kanata') and TM Revolution. I also like two ending themes of [b]Kenshin[/b], the opening of [b]Hellsing[/b], opening of [b]Witch Hunter Robin[/b], opening of [b]DNAngel[/b], openings and endings of [b]Get Backers[/b] and the majority of the songs off [b]Gravitation[/b]. I just don't know whose done them.[/color][/size]

[size=1][b]Teigra awoke to the rude disruption of one of their teachers, Vermillion, bursting through the door, yelling. [i]How rude....[/i] Teigra thought as she rose out of her bed with a sports bra and boy-leg pants on. Her hand had healed over from the night before. She remembered meeting Hamano the night before. Now, Teigra had met both her comrades. After Vermillion had disturbed all the other freshmen, he entered the room with Wasp, Bobby and Teigra again. Without a single word, he handed Teigra a piece of paper. It was instructions that she was to move out of this room and into another. She sighed again. Teira didn't like being jerked around like a puppet. Bobby picked up on the sigh. " What's the matter Teigra?" he asked. " I have to change rooms." " Huh?" " I'll now be rooming with Copperhead of the Serpent Squad." " That's a shame," Wasp said as he walked out of the room, ready. Teigra nodded. She felt quite comfortable with those two, now she had to be moved. Oh well. She began to pack her things after finding out where her new room was. It was right next to Bobby and Wasp's, which was good. She wouldn't have to lug her luggage a long distance. As Teigra entered the room, she noted that Copperhead must be a man from the decorations inside. She didn't mind, as long as he didn't try to bed her. Again, she unpacked her things into the drawers and closet. She was already dressed in her mission outfit, bar the coat. That was specifically for missions. Teigra strode out of the room, now a little late by her standards, but it wouldn't matter. She smiled to herself. Approaching the timetable for today, Teigra took note of the others' classes as well. However, she had Marksmanship first off. [i]Not bad... one of my most important skills... lets see how the others go. Marianna should be the teacher... no?[/i] Finding out that the Marksmanship class was held in the artificial meadow in the greenhouse on the northern wall, Teigra made haste to the class. To her delight, only Marianna was there, the others weren't there yet. A sigh of relief escaped Teigra's lips. She wanted to make a good impression on her first day.[/size][/b]

[size=1][b]Teigra shook her head at Bobby. " White Tiger is my squad's leader. I don't mind. I'm not a leader anyhow. But if the situation is that dire, then... maybe..." She cut up her steak, trying not to strain her hands. It was a little tough, but that was all right. Good for the jaw muscles. Wasp looked around, seeing some of the other teachers. He pointed out a few to Teigra and Bobby that may be their instructors in the future. Marianna and Maurice were the others that interested Teigra the most. She must make herself known to them sooner rather than later. Marksmanship and stealth are key skills in Teigra's way of killing. Bobby and Wasp got talking to each other when another familar freshmen face appeared on the opposite side of the table to Teigra. He introduced himself as Garet Jax, codenamed Wildebeast. He was in Teigra's squad. She was pleased to finally meet someone from the same squad as her. After the main course was finished, most of the hall stood up and left. Garet bid Bobby, Teigra and Wasp goodnight and headed off to his room. Teigra smiled at him warmly as he left. Nice to finally meet a comrade of hers, as she thought before. The night air was still warm from the desert. A very comfortable temperature for a walk. Teigra stood and excused herself from the table, as well as Bobby and Wasp's presence. She strolled out of the room, finding the courtyard she and Bobby had found earlier that day. Breathing in, Teigra sat down on the stone and looked around. " Black Panther does suit me, doesn't it?" It looked like she was talking to thin air. But two beady orange eyes were in the shadows near one of the benches. She knew it was the leopard that had Bobby had fought with earlier. It limped over to Teigra and sat down beside her. She stroked its muzzle again and smiled at it. " I think I made a friend." The leopard purred. " Anyhow, a black panther is only a leopard or jaguar that has a black coat instead of an orange one. If you look closely enough, you can still see the spots. Isn't that right?" Teigra reached into one of the pockets in her coat. She drew out a slightly crumpled photograph. It was of her family. Just her mother, father and her. Teigra smiled. " I'll make you proud Papa. So I can protect you and Mama from those bastards." Her other hand clenched into a tight fist. Her fingerfails dug into her palms so much that they pierced her skin. Blood dripped from her clenched fist, to the ground, in slow, subtle drops.[/size][/b]

OOC: This post spans before, during and after previous posts of other characters. [color=#CC0099][size=1]Katima led the group to a small hotel nearby. After booking in, the group dispersed into different directions. However Katima made her way into the common-room, and found a comfy plushie couch to sit on. Many thoughts ran through her mind such as what they were going to do next, where were they going next, where was Tegan and why Malik had captured Kalei? Other than the normal hate relationship between vampires and the Wakanda, Katima couldn't help but feel that there was more to the story than first glance. A waiter passed her and asked if she would like a drink or something to eat. Katima ordered a Tequila Sunrise. Her order was promptly taken to the bartender and, in a few minutes, the waiter handed her the drink. Sipping at the drink, Katima began to explore the possibilities of where Malik had taken Kalei prisoner. She knew that Kalei had flown out of the country for some reasons that Katima wasn't quite clear on, but they didn't matter much now. It was her responsibilty to get their commander back safe and sound without too many problems or casualties. She stood up and paced around. [i]Where to now? I mean, Kalei didn't tell me exactly where she was going when she left. She just said somewhere overseas. That doesn't help much. We need to find out exactly where she went. But how?[/i] Katima thought of hacking into the airlines' database, but she would have trouble finding out which flight Kalei had gone on. She probably used one of her aliases like they all do when flying out of the country. The problem was that Katima didn't know which one she used, and searching for all of them may be a waste of time if she used one that Katima didn't know about. Her head started to throb. Katima sat back down and took another sip of her drink. She wasn't used to thinking for the group's well-being and the such. She always regarded that as Kalei's job. But with her gone, it was up to Katima now. Sighing, Katima put down the empty cocktail glass onto a side table with a soft chink. It was time to get some rest before a long night's work ahead of them. As the sun rose, Katima settled down into her bed after a nice hot bath, falling asleep in a matter of seconds. [center]---------------------------------------[/center] The night came around slowly. Katima woke when the sun had just set. Feeling refreshed, she went for a quick shower before coming out of her room to find something to eat. Going down to the restuarant, Katima sat down with Talyn, Jade and Thayne as they ate. She ordered four rolls of chicken teriyaki sushi and a bottle of water before starting to talk to the others about her plans. " We have a problem. The problem is that we don't know where Kalei is being held captive. At the present, the only thing we know is that Kalei left for overseas a week ago. She didn't tell me where she was going, it was just overseas. I've tried to find ways to narrow down where she went, but all would be useless if she had used aliases that I don't know about. The best thing we could do is to go to London to talk to some contacts over there. I've arranged for our transport to the airport, our flights and our transport over in Britain. I'd like you all to be ready as soon as possible. I'll gather the others and make sure they have something to eat before we leave." " Sounds like a good plan to me," Talyn said nodding. " A bit of a wide shot, but it's the best we can do for now," Thayne answered. " We'll get packing then," Jade added. They finished their meals and went upstairs to find the others and tell them what was going on. Katima's meal arrived and she ate it as quickly as she could before going upstairs too to see if all of the others had got their message. She knocked on Richard's room. He opened up with headphones around his neck. " Katima..." " Richard. We're leaving for the airport in 15 minutes. Pack your things. We're heading to London." " Right." Katima walked to her room and gathered her thing, mainly her weapons. She had a peculiar feeling she was going to need them, and soon. [center]------------------------------------------------[/center] Soon enough, the group had arrived at the airport. After signing in their luggage and going through the metal detectors with no troubles (even if they were laden with their weapons), they sat down in the departue lounge, waiting for their boarding call. A sudden prickling sensation ran down Katima's neck and spine. She shivered. Ena and Priest looked at her strangely. " You all right?" Priest asked, looking concerned. " Something.... doesn't feel right..." Katima muttered. She rubbed her arms, trying to make the goosebumps on them go away. The sound of an arrow flitting through the air suddenly caught Katima's attention. She hit the floor, along with the others as they too heard the sound. " I knew we were being followed."[/color][/size] OOC: We're being attacked by some of Malik's vampires. They are trying to stop us boarding the plane and getting off the North American continent. Do your stuff.

[size=1][b][i]What a pity....would have liked to got to talk to him more. No matter. Talking to some one other than a freshman will be beneficial.[/i] Teigra took the piece of paper in her hand and followed its directions. She found the mess hall and then where their dormitory was. A number-plate with [i]359[/i] on the door. She knocked. There was no answer. " Mustn't be in." She opened the door. There was no one inside. She looked at one bed. Her luggage was already on her bed. Walking towards the bed, she heard the slight crunching of dirt behind her. Whirling around, Teigra flung a needle at the person that had shadowed her inside. CRUNCH! The needle imbedded itself into the wooden door. Beside the imbedded needle was a man's head who wore a look of amusement on his face. Teigra gave a sly smile. " You must be Wasp." " And you must be Black Panther." " Name's Teigra. I'd rather be called by that outside of missions." " Fair enough." She rearranged her clothes to become comfortable again. Teigra started to unpack her things. Each had a bed, desk, closet and a set of drawers to themselves. However, they shared the bathroom on the right. While Teigra unpacked, Wasp sat on his bed and watched Teigra move things from her suitcase to her drawers and closet. However, the only thing she didn't put in her closet was her mission outfit. She hung it up near her bed, ready for anything. She turned to Wasp. " Mind if I have a shower before dinner?" He shook his head. " Go ahead." Taking her things with her, Teigra went into the bathroom and had a nice hot shower. The journey to the Assassin Academy had been a rough one, her being targeted and all. Teigra let her hair out of her usual spiky bun, it fell to her bust line. She dunked her head under the running water, letting it run down her hair and over her body. It was very refreshing. After getting out of the shower and readying herself for dinner, Teigra and Wasp made their way to the mess hall for dinner. Wasp took a seat, while Teigra waited for Bobby to show up.[/size][/b] OOC: A better picture of Teigra's mission outfit attached.

[b][size=1]Teigra smiled graciously and accepted Bobby's request. They started to walk down the corridor, the cold stone having a rather homey feel to it. As they walked, Teigra started to ask questions about Bobby's life. " So... your name is Bobby, correct?" she asked politely. He nodded. " Where are you from?" " Here there and everywhere basically. I've been moved around a lot. Job hazard. How about you?" Teigra brushed her hands through her hair, imagining the warm Mediteranean air blowing across her face. The familar calls of coastal birds soaring high above her. The smell of the citrus grove in the orchard. " My family is part of the Italian Mafia, so naturally I come from Italy. We live in the countryside with a big house, an orchard and a vineyard. It's very beautiful. You should come and see it in spring. Like Heaven on Earth." Bobby smiled. " Yeah, tha'd be nice once we finish here." Teigra nodded her agreement. " What weapons do you carry on a mission?" " Hmm.... I'm just going to be general for the sake of light conversation. Two guns, two knives, poisoned throwing needles, two grenades and two flashbangs." " My, you are all fitted out aren't you?" " You have to be ready for anything. What about you?" " I specialise in more traditional weapons such as throwing needles, throwing daggers and smaller katanas. I do mostly undercover work, so when the situation calls for it, I can turn anything into a weapon, like a fork or toothpick. But I do have two H&K P7s which I adore. They look so sleek." The two freshmen found themselves now in a courtyard with a large fountain in the middle. Vines hung over the stone walls, making the place look very lush and tropical. There were two benches for people to sit on. The two of them sat down on the one facing the fountain. The calming noise of the water reminded Teigra of the stream that flowed outside of her window in Italy. " Say, what are your hobbies? You know, when you're not on a mission..." Bobby asked, curious to know what she did besides killing. Teigra looked thoughtful. " Well... I dance. Not ballet, but more like street and funk dancing. Rock-climbing, yoga and gymnastics." Bobby sniggered. Teigra looked at him. " What?" " Didn't think you were the type for yoga..." Bobby said. " It's amazing for the body. Plus it increases my flexibility as well as being relaxing. Everything I do has a purpose." Bobby suddenly became very suspicious of her. That comment sent alarm bells off in his head, warning him of something but he didn't know exactly what. His eyes narrowed. Teigra noticed the sudden change in his composure and laughed. " The reason why I am talking to you is to get to know you," she explained. With that Bobby became much more comfortable. At that moment, Marianna walked out into the courtyard and greeted them in a rather civil fashion. " I have your room assignments. And it seems you two have found your bunking mate. How convenient. Anyhow, this is where your room is." Marianna gave them a piece of paper, showing how to get to their room. " I suggest you make yourselves comfortable before you receive your first mission." Marianna turned and walked off, obviously in a hurry. Teigra stood, watching Marianna walk off, trying to gauge her personality. Her calculating mind was working overtime on her. She was... strange indeed. Teigra turned to Bobby and smiled. " Shall we go?"[/size][/b]

[color=purple][size=1]You are one evil person Kairi! *Starts to back away very very slowly as not to draw your attention* But I'm glad that the Fantacies Desire/Realities Sin is coming back. I wondered what happened to it when it died so suddenly. At least it's back and ready to go! YAY![/color][/size]

[color=purple][size=1]Hey Kairi!! Long time no see! Well, basically it's anything that's written well and has committed RPers playing it with good quality posts. But mainly the ones I join are fantasy. Other than not being able to live fantasy, it's also an outlet for me - an escape from the real world and all its dramas. Although I join a few with good twists.[/color][/size]

[color=#330066][size=1]Kirra walked along the path behind the group of three males. Narote was chipper, happily chatting awy to Apollos who entered into the conversation only when he felt he needed to. Renjin walked a little way behind those two, looking extremely focused for some reason. Kirra sighed. [i]As long as I live... I'll never understand the ways of men.... especially warlocks...[/i] Taking out one of her throwing daggers, she twirled it impatiently around her fingers. They walked for hours in silence, except for the two humans. The thunderstorm from the night before left a damp, cool feel in the air. Kirra breathed in heavily, relishing in the fresh scent of the forest. She suddenly realised that they were getting further and further away from the Night Elves' home. A sharp pain hit her chest. She didn't like to leave except for missions. [i]Then think of this as a mission. I hope the others got the message I left for them. I may be exiled when I return for leaving my post. But... this seemed much more important than the petty patrolling I was doing..... much more important.... I can use my [u]real[/u] skills finally..... I don't understand why Tyrande forbade me to use them....[/i] She looked at the group. Another thought entered her head. [i]But what can two Night Elves and two Humans do against the force of the Undead and all its associates. And why did myself and Renjin be chosen for this mission? What powers does Renjin possess that I don't know about? What powers do those two humans possess that I don't know about?[/i] It was nearing midday when the group stopped to have a rest. They had walked far from the inn they had set off from. They made a make-shift camp near a small trickling stream that bubbled over a few stones. The sound was calming and refreshing at the same time. It seemed that the thunderstorm didn't reach here. [i]Strange....[/i] Kirra thought, [/i]normally one's that large cover a large distance. We have only walked a few miles, if that.[/i] Kirra looked in the stream they camped nearby. Small fish swam against the current, trying to get past the frothing rocks. They looked rather tasty. Kirra ran her tounge across her lips hungrily. She barely had breakfast at the inn before they left for Ironforge. " Kirra!" she heard Narote's voice from behind her. She turned around to see the three men sitting down around a fire, already cooking fish. Kirra laughed softly and joined them, sitting at the base of a tree. The smell was so delicious, Kirra was almost watering at the mouth. She looked at Renjin. He still had that look of pure determination on his face. But this time she noticed him take a glance at her and his expression grow more determined. She shifted around to beside him. This was long overdue. " Thank you for....." She gritted her teeth, not wanting to say 'save me'. " ... for .... helping me... last night."[/size][/color]

[color=#CC0099][size=1]In the darkness, Katima stood ready for an all-out assault, the [i]Dark Flame Chain[/i] heavy in her hands. Talyn stood beside her, ready and waiting for the vampires to do whatever they had to do. The bloodsuckers launched themselves in a full, frontal assault on the two Wakanda. Talyn charged up a [i]Light Blast[/i] in his hand and let it off, clearing a few vampires on impact. Katima used the light to her advantage and began whirling her [i]Dark Flame Chain[/i] around in her hands. Expertly using it to perfection, Katima managed to cut down her half of the vampires in a matter of minutes. She twirled and spun herself in the air, arcing the chain around in a twisting somersault. Talyn blasted his half of his vampires away using expert close combat skills and his Light abilities. The only things that remained of the vampires were piles of ash. Katima looked down at the ground, at the remanants of the vampires. " We're never going to get anywhere if we're doing this all the time," she said. The [i]Dark Flame Chain[/i] vanished from her hand, leaving nothing of its being left. Katima's cold red-pink eyes scanned the dark desolate street. Talyn came back to her side, straying from her for the few moments they were in battle. " What do you suggest we do?" Talyn asked, breathing a little heavily. Using his magic was a little exhausting. " We've found nothing, no information about the disappearance of Tegan and Kalei. There are rumours circling the Underworld that Kalei has indeed been captured by Malik," Katima said as she beckoned Talyn to walk with her. She straightened her white coat. The long, very-stylish tails of her coat swished elegantly from side to side as her long pink hair swished in unison. " Then what should we do?" Talyn asked. Katima looked Talyn squarely in the eyes as they walked, a small smile on her face. " Time to call reinforcements. We're going to get the others." Talyn smiled back, agreeing.[/size][/color] OOC: Ok, we'll be coming for the other Wakanda. In your next post, [b]SolarPrincess[/b] or [b]madnessofthecat[/b], have Katima and Talyn come to you and ask you to join them. Fallen, play along as you like. I'll be going in this order (by character names): 1. Fyuora/Priest 2. Ena/Richard 3. Sin/Thayne Fallen and I's characters will be coming for everyone, then I'll get further instructions from DC.

[size=1][b]Teigra calmly walked out of the door, unimpressed by this lady's threats. [i]If she wants the entire Italian Mafia bear down on her, she's more than welcome to try.[/i] She smiled to herself softly. Teigra wasn't normally an outwardly vicious type, however, her thoughts are more than often vicious. Walking along the cold stone corridors of the temple, Teigra felt a tense silence around her - so tense that she could almost feel the animosity in the air. Seemingly taking no notice of the tense air about her, Teigra documented the corridor's path in her mind. She was good at navigation, for some odd reason. Normally her talents lay in the black arts - assassination skills. Her father and mother could only teach her so much before she could outdo them. Up ahead, the sounds of a scuffle resonated down the corridor. Teigra immediately picked up on the noises. Shadows and silence was her thing - not anything like Rambo. Coolly walking towards the scuffle, she could hear growls of a cat - deep, throaty growls that indicated that it was a big cat of sorts. Turning the corner, she ran straight into another student. Teigra got knocked to the ground as the other student held their head where the two had hit each other. " Ow....." they murmured. Teigra recognised it was a male's voice. She slowly got to her feet and inspected him. He had short black hair, amazingly blue eyes, a strong jaw with a small scar on the left side. His body was well-built and stood about an inch or two taller than her at 5' 11. He wore jeans with black boots, a red shirt and a black leather coat. As her father said '...you tell a lot of a man by the way he looks and what he wears...' - an extremely important lesson that Teigra learnt for most of her undercover work. There was also another male behind him. He wore a black leather jacket with a woollen inside and long baggy grey pants with black boots. He too had a strong jawline, although no scars. A longish, undercut hairstyle and stubble on his face. Rough and tumble - basically. Behind them, Teigra caught a glimpse of the leopard slinking away into the shadows. She walked straight past the man she had just run into and the other and crouched down near the leopard. It turned, sniffing slightly. Teigra could see the full extent of its wounds. The first male student and the leopard were the ones she heard. Slowly the leopard came up to her and started to purr softly, nuzzling into her outstretched hand. The male students turned around and wore looks of shock. Teigra could sense the look of shock and smiled to herself. " I have a gift with cats..." she said softly, stroking the leopard along its muzzle. She kissed it between the eyes and then stood, facing the other students. " My name's Teigra. It's Italian for tiger. Nice to meet you.... your names?"[/size][/b] OOC: You're up XYZ or ShagaMage! And sorry it took me so long to post. Away for the weekend.
