Luna Crescente - Town Square[/center]

[hr]

The proceedings were going as they should, if visitors were none the wiser they'd think this was just some fun festival, and while it was for many, it was also supposed to be a grueling trial. Vega left the office with an expression of disdain on his face, normally he made a lot of noise but he seemed more sulky than angry with this requirement. "Team leader", he was the only one needed. Should he just pick some people and be done with it? No, he wouldn't have a good chance at winning if he just picked anyone... Then again perhaps another year of just resigning to a wasted trial? No, that was a waste...

[color=662d91]"Curse that four-eyes stiff"[/color], he seethed under his breath. It was even worse watching the guy next to the Harpy Guild Master, disgusting, be more decisive at least, calls himself a guild master. Still, hmmmmm... Working as a team... He didn't like it, he kept running it in his head, but he subconsciously refused the concept. Opportunity and chaos was his style, and that had no coordination with a team, nor did he need it. He was just fine running it himself.

The more he ran it in his head, the more it bothered him, until he began to have visions of Angela's little goon squad sent after him, which only made him even more frustrated.

[color=662d91]"Still... I should just take the job I can do best and bring someone who isn't annoying"[/color], in that thought he immediately thought of Damien, as an example of who to not choose. Maybe Kazue? She sure is a go-getter if there's money and Vega's not exactly strapped for cash. He either steals more or takes some ridiculous A rank job that requires a group all on his own. He knows Seto's back in town, but he doubts the guy's going to help him out in the name of being a good samaritan. Kage...? Nah. That only left Jack being the last of the notable choices, maybe that wouldn't be so bad. His background was the out-in-the-open version of his own thief background.

Even with these choices, he preferred to not pick any of them. Maybe they would join up with him, but he always went alone and no one seemed to care. The tournament at the end would be pointless until he could even pass the first stages, doubtless those on the Harpy side have thought of ways to deal with his magic already, and his own in Golem Hand the same way... That sounded like a lot of fun. Before he could run his thoughts over that it went back to the idea of teamwork.

Ahhh whatever. It was going to be annoying regardless, and sitting this out was going to be more boring than if he went with it, besides, a chance at an S Rank job, maybe he can get a feel and gauge his power.

So then... Who to pick? More importantly, was he to just go hunting for people? Jack was going to be no problem, but Kazue and even Seto were going to be problematic to find, and at the same time he's actively pushing even the word "Damien" out of his mind. And Kage was only a consideration... Maybe he should try and pit her and Ceri against one another one of these days. That'd be something. Stubbornness versus a secret venomous tongue.
