	Luke found his way off the stage as Alvios offered his final words to the mass of Divers, a little disappointed with the turnout, and himself. He was never very good with words, but then again, he'd never had to say anything of such great importance before. As he made his way towards the southern exit, to rally the few troops that offered their help, Luke heaved a heavy sigh of discontent, before perking up and reliving the trait that made him so lovable in the first place, his joyful disposition. Seeing him depressed would likely ruin morale. Who would want to follow a big crybaby like that? No, people respect men who wield weapons fearlessly, and cut down any obstacles in their way with an unbreakable smile! That's the man he had to be, even if it pained Luke to live up to such heavy expectations.

	Tinon noticed Luke leave the stage in disarray as Alvios beckoned the Divers in regards to their concerns. nearly half the group had already disregarded Luke's call to arms, and the other half weren't very invested in the situation at all. Only 30 or so men and women headed for the southern gate, the rest not even considering Alvios' offer. No questions were asked. This turned out to be a more 'do or die' turn of events, it seemed.

	[color=82ca9d]"Hey guys!"[/color] Luke announced his presence with a wide grin, standing atop a large pile of supplies, including a heft cache of A/A, partially charged and completely empty A/B's, and several types of weaponry useful to any Diver who needed the extra firepower. Luke waited a few moments for everyone to turn their attention towards him, as Alvios was still on stage with the rest of his comrades. [color=82ca9d]"So you're the golden group we're countin' on, eh?"[/color] He rasped, nodding eagerly as he looked them over. [color=82ca9d]"Alvios'll be glad to have ya on board, I sure as hell am! Lookin' forward to learning all about your capabilities in the coming hours, haha!"[/color] Luke waited patiently for Alvios to join him, knowing well enough that Tinon and Laura would be able to handle the Paradise's usual tasks without them nearby. Until them, the famous Diver would happily answer any questions his new allies had. That, or make small talk. He was better at small talk, anyways. [color=82ca9d]"Don't suppose y'all have names? It'd be good to get acquainted, since we'll be workin' together and all, yea? How about you there, with the shaggy hair!"[/color] He insisted, singling out Alex randomly. [color=82ca9d]"We've got some time before Alvios comes over ere' and drags the mood to a halt with the technicalities of our mission, tell us a bit about yourself!"[/color]
