[h3]Ajax Thera - Council Member[/h3]

His yellow eyes watched Aiden and Oriel rush ahead towards the train. Though the age gap between Ajax and the two Vypers, he was still confused by their excitement and energy. As the councilman approached, the conductor leaned out of the front engine and waved. [b]"Ajax-dono,"[/b] he greeted. [b]"So these two seem lively enough. Don't let them trash my train."[/b] The large man nodded in confirmation before also stepping into the train.

He took a seat separate from Aiden and Oriel. The two wasted no time in making themselves at home. [b]"You two aren't allowed to know the location just yet in case you jump ship,"[/b] Ajax began to explain. [b]"As you now work for the Council, the punishment for desertion is life in prison or death. Keeping the information from you temporarily makes it easier for me."[/b] Though his words were somewhat ominous, his expression remained in the same, emotionless state.

[b]"While we're here, I may as well get to know you two better."[/b] Right after he finished speaking, the train began rolling. Unlike the above-ground trains, however, this one began picking up speed rather quickly. In fact it was going very fast, possibly knocking Oriel and Aiden off balance if they didn't brace for the sudden change. The council member crossed his arms over his chest and sweat appeared on his brow. [b]"... I hate trains so much,"[/b] he muttered before opening his eyes and looking back at the two. [b]"I know you are a Dragon Slayer, but I don't know your partner at all."[/b]

[h3]Piper Hatfield - [color=hotpink]Ms. One Shot[/color][/h3]

The bespectacled sniper was halfway through another bottle of beer when the distraught man rushed through the guild doors and announced the dire situation of Augustine town. Piper quickly finished her drink and jogged over. [b]"Demons again?"[/b] she mentioned aloud, bringing her hand up to her chin in contemplation. [b]"Could it be the same ones that ran away the other day?"[/b] A look of determination formed on her face and she smashed her fist against her other palm.

[b]"I'm going too. I have a bone to pick with those demons. Nobody runs away from me!"[/b] With that declaration made, the somewhat tipsy woman lifted her glasses from her eyes and rested them on her head. With her other hand a magic circle formed and a sniper rifle appeared. After catching it and brandishing it with both hands, a sneer formed on her face. [b]"Let's kill those bastards and make them pay for the damage they've done."[/b]

[h3]Hana Oshiro - [color=deeppink]The Last Samurai[/color][/h3]

The pink-haired woman seemed pleased that Niti appreciated her joke. She was blissfully unaware of how terrible it was. She didn't even bat an eye when Sage walked away from the group, assuming he had to use the restroom. After putting her hands together on her lap, Hana began speaking. [b]"Actually, most of the S-class mages of Crocus are out of town right now,"[/b] she said first. [b]"They are all having a fun little vacation, I think. Some kind of camp. I think it's nice they can get together like that."[/b]

[b]"But we're going to Crocus to supplement the capital."[/b] The smile on her face began to fade as she began talking seriously. [b]"Several days ago there were demon attacks and the person in charge seemed to be baiting Vyper Bolt and Harpy's Wing. The two guilds aren't at full strength and might not be able to fend another one, so Master Lyon is having us assist in protecting the capitol."[/b] With that explanation out of the way, she let out a sigh. [b]"We have to protect the people from Demon's Maw. They're a nasty bunch. I remember them, and if they're actually making a return we will certainly be needed to help Vyper Bolt and Harpy's Wing."[/b]
