The footsteps of a weary young agent echoed as she made her way down the corridors of the headquarters that she had practically made her home. A woman in her mid-twenties with olive skin, large chestnut eyes and straight, golden blonde hair gathered neatly into sleek ponytail, Agent J, or 'Juliet' as she was nicknamed, was one of the few personnel involved in the inter-dimensional recruitment project initiated by the mayor. She halted in front of the entrance to the main ops area, the door sliding open with a hand to the touch pad. A blue-eyed brunet sat among several monitors. Predictably, the young man was known as Agent R, or 'Romeo'.

His attention turned to his partner as she entered. [color=00aeef]"Ah, welcome back, Agent."[/color]

She took a seat beside him before playfully punching him in the shoulder. [color=fff200]"Oh, stop."[/color]

There had been much speculation about the two be more than just friends, due to how close they were and how they were seen to act towards each other. However, either of them would deny anything of that sort when asked directly.

He let out a chuckle before hitting a few buttons, causing the images of a couple of spiky-haired young men to appear on screen. [color=00aeef]"Check it out, spell-casting swordsmen. Left an emblem for each of them."[/color]

The screen then switched to display two blonde individuals, a male and a female, who looked like they were from a different time and place altogether. [color=00aeef]"And these two?"[/color]

[color=fff200]"Right, them. Knights, barbarians, vikings? I don't exactly know, but they'd be great to have on board. Both sword wielders too, but hers turns into a whole bunch of other things."[/color]

[color=00aeef]"Cool, cool..."[/color] replied R, and he scrolled over to the next one, a blonde elf-like teenager in a green tunic and hat. [color=00aeef]"So, this one's yet another sword user. How many sword users did we recruit exactly?"[/color]

[color=fff200]"Hey, she uses a shield too!"[/color] J protested as she leaned back in her seat.

[color=00aeef]"Oh, but of course..."[/color] R muttered sarcastically in response.

[color=fff200]"Here, look,"[/color] she then pushed past him to scroll for another image, a girl in a dark, bird-themed cloak. [color=fff200]"No sword, just a whole range of psychic powers."[/color]

[color=00aeef]"I imagine she likes the dark,"[/color] R commented, raising an eyebrow at the picture. [color=00aeef]"Interesting, I found one who might share similar abilities, except she would very much prefer the light."[/color]

[color=fff200]"Hmm, alright. Anyone else you got?"[/color]

[color=00aeef]"Yeah, just this kid who can build machines out of his own body."[/color]

J broke into a mischievous grin. [color=fff200]"Can he build a sword?"[/color]

R let out a groan. [color=00aeef]"Yes, yes he can..."[/color]

Both agents turned to the wall of the room that was lined with several large, transparent cylindrical machines, wondering how many of these individuals would respond to their call for assistance. They wanted this to work, for the mayor and for the citizens of Cinix.

[color=fff200]"I suppose they all know how to press a button, at least."[/color]

[color=00aeef]"Guess we'll just have to wait and see."[/color]
