[IC] The Jaeger Program (Always Open)

[Shadowcatcher]

Iris's heart nearly exploded out of her chest when Molly came in screaming about a Kaiju. With no reason to suspect her of lying, Iris went to Willem. "Um...i guess i need to go." she said, handing him her wepon. With a pat on his shoulder she jogged over to Molly. "You've recruited before right? Can you take over for me?" she asked, not really waiting for a yes before she ran off in search for her drift partner Jack.

[CallaLily180]

Molly laughed a little and smiled, she was in a load of trouble now. As soon as Iris found out she was lying she was dead, maybe and hopefully a Kaiju would appear from nowhere. "Iris! Just so you know the location of the Kaiju is unknown! A civilian reported it!" She shouted out the door as Iris ran, maybe that would keep her occupied, maybe it was a good enough lie....she was done for.

As she turned back to Willem she smiled and walked over to him, putting her hair into a simple bun and taking Iris' stick. "So, I'm here to recruit you, you are going to fall flat on your bum and I will laugh mine off."

[Cassowarysaur]

Knowing that she would not be suspecting of his capabilities, Willem knew he had an advantage now.
"I wouldn't be too sure of it," Chuckled the man, before he flicked his eyes to a cupboard directly to his right. Maybe that would be useful. However, she wasn't in the best range. "You ready for this?"

Emmett and followed Mako as they made their way to the huge hangar where all the Jaegers were stored through one of the many entrances. The voices of engineers, technicians and rangers alike slowly grew in volume, and soon enough, Emmett found himself in one of the largest hangars he'd ever been in. The one in Los Angeles didn't even compare, and there weren't nearly as many Jaegers there, either. It was kind of weird, but this was where he felt most at home. The sparks from welding torches against metal, and the sound of buzz saws were all too familiar to him. Now that he was a ranger, though, he would probably have to spend a bit more time brushing up on his boxing skills. Though Iris did promise to get him on the repair team when he actually became a ranger, so he's still got that, at least.

When they finally reached his Jaeger, his jaw nearly dropped. Despite his experience with Jaegers, their sheer size was always impressive. Putting a hand on the Jaeger, he thanked Mako Mori for bringing him here before turning back to the iron giant. Inspecting the blue and red painted finish, he noticed the special acid-proof coating he'd been told about just before. It was barely noticeable, but there was a slight sheen to the metal that indicated its presence. At this, Emmett briefly wondered if they'd ever let him make some modifications to Maximus. He already had a few ideas.

Molly silently followed his eyes and a smirk lit up her face, she acted uncomfortable and took a steady step to her right as she wiped her 'clammy' hands on her jeans and acted intimidated. "I believe I am, thanks for asking." She giggled sweetly and spun her stick around in her hands for just a second. Man, it had been a long while since she had recruited.

With her smirk still planted on her face she swung at his feet, it was a simple thing to dodge and left most people open. Unless you were a hyper vet with mad skills.

[Cassowarysaur]

Willem gracefully dodged the move, it barely missing his feet. He wasn't expecting that, but I doubt he was expecting what he was about to do. Moving slowly in a steady battle stance, his weapon poised, he leaped backwards to the cupboard, launching off it with his feet, raising his weapon in the air menacingly. This surprise attack would surely hit.

[CallaLily180]

With a growl Molly turned, just in time to be hit in the arm. It stung like hellfire yet in a sweet way she got through it with minimum cursing. Before he could land she took a step back and tried to thwack him with her stick, her aim was acute but weak since he had hit her good arm. Afterwards she abandoned the stick and got into a ready stance. Now she would use her hands, that was the way to win this. "One to zero, good job."

[Shadowcatcher]

Iris didn't hear that last part Molly had said, if she did it would have likely raised a red flag. She ran through the halls of the Shatterdome like she usually did, pushing past people going at full speed and saying every Russian curse word she could remember. Upon reaching her partner Jack's room, she banged on the door over and over, hoping he was inside sleeping.

"Jack! Get your lazy ass up and lets go! Theres a Kaiju, c'mon its go time." she hollered in her Russian accent. She made as much noise as she could, not caring if she was being annoying. But really, she never cared about that.

[Cassowarysaur]

Willem ducked and rolled, barely keeping balance. In fact, he kind of fell over. Getting back up, he found he was winning by one. It seemed that the environment was the way to win, not his skills. He had to use what was around him. Which gave him an idea.
"Thanks, it won't last long." He replied quickly, turning around and looking for the light switch, at the other corner of the room.

[Avanhelsing]

Jack looked around tired. What was she yelling about with her crazy accent. A Kaiju? Why hadn't he been woken up earlier? Also weren't there alarms or something for this? He had no idea if this was even the case. He had no idea what was going on. "Alright... Alright... I am coming out... Hold your horses." He said opening the door while pulling his shirt over his head. They worked together so why not just do something like this. "Well then let's go! " He said pulling in on fully yet still looking disheveled. "What class? Who else is going?" He asked completely un phased.

Has he really allowed himself to be that open? OK then, might as well use that, Molly thought as she quickly grabbed her stick and with a slow and silent pace walked behind him to hit him in the back. If she hit she would recoil like a snake and prepare for another attack on his back, striking fast and steady. It wasn't at all special but it would work until he adjusted. She saw what he was searching for and sighed, he was probably about to turn off the lights so it was a blind fight. That was a fifty-fifty thing though.

The teen and Ranger in her were always clashing. One part telling her to keep staring at Jacks abs, the other telling her to stop drooling, focus, and stay on task. It was hard really, she struggled with this, and occasionally wondered if she should get checked out for it.

When he asked her what category it was and who was coming, she snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at his face. "Uhm...i dunno. We just gotta go!" she said pulling taking his hand and pulling him along. She was starting to wonder why no one was rushing or looked scared. It confused her. It was....odd.

[Avanhelsing]

Jack was a but shocked when she had no idea why he was being dragged out of bed for no reason other than someone had called for them. It was so nice to be called just to go around because Iris' said so? Sure why not? He was not doing anything and going out sounded like his thing right now.

Jack looked in her eyes as well. " Well we have no idea and we are running like mad people! Another day in the life. Alright is SHIVA getting prepped?" He asked as he was dragged along. Where were everyone? Usually a kaiju making landfall meant chaos here.

[Cassowarysaur]

While spotting the light in the corner of the room, he realised he had his back turned. What a stupid move he was making. He had to amend it. Spinning around, he saw where his opponent had gone, and swiftly leaped backwards, but knocked himself into the table. Wincing, Willem turned to his right and saw a candle perfectly lit on top of the counter.

[CallaLily180]

Molly wouldn't let him use it this time, following his gaze she spun her staff and knocked the candle on the floor, putting it out carefully with his toe. "Be less predictive." She muttered as she ran forward and put her staff to his neck. "One to One, let's go again." She removed the staff and waited patiently in a ready stance. She had him figured out, right now his tactic was to use surroundings but it was far to obvious. Even a Kaiju would know his next moves.

[PhoenixEye9]

Milo realized he hadnt seen anyone in a while, or really done much in a while since he was inspecting the Jaegers and talking to the tech team about hooking a sound system into his Jaeger so he could listen to music while fighting. He walked off to find the rest of the team.

[Shadowcatcher]

Iris shook her head, still pullimg Jack along. "Look man, you dont ask questions when theres a Kaiju attack!" she rounded a corner and smashed right into Milo.

"Milo! Wh...what are you doing lumbering around here!? You need to suit up! Its a Kaiju! Its-"

"Iris what the hell kind of garbage are you yelling now?" she was cut off by Tendo Choi walking up to her. "Theres no Kaiju." he said casually.

"What? But Molly said....." she trailed off as she realized her friend had tricked her. How many times was this going to happen before she didnt fall for it.

Clenching her fists she yelled. "Oh MOLLY! She's gonna GET IT!" she growled angrily wanting to hit something.

[PhoenixEye9]

"What am I doing here, I'm laughing my ass off over you getting tricked thats what!" Milo was laughing hard enough he was leaning on the wall for support. "Come on girl, you dont think I'd be wandering around here if there was a Kaiju do you?"

[Avanhelsing]

Jack put his hands on his head. "You got duped...." He said laughing slightly. He looked at Iris a smile on his face. He thought it was funny. "We could go out. You know on the town? How about it Iris?" He asked worried.

[Shadowcatcher]

Iris glared at Milo who looked waaay to happy, so she punched him in the gut. Not too hard, just enough so he knew to cut it out. Then she smiled and crossed her arms. When Jack asked if she wanted to go out, she nodded.

"Yeah im planning to go out later anyway. I'm heading to my favorite dumpling joint with Josh. You and Milo can come too. We could make it a Rangers night out. I'll bring Molly and we could make it fun as hell. Maybe hit a nightclub." she smiled thinking of how much fun they could have.

"I'm going to check on Josh and his sim in a bit. Since Molly tricked me, she can take over my job."
