Once Avi introduced himself, Scarlet replied with a friendly smile. [color=ff2020]"Nice meeting you."[/color] Soon the conversation moved on, and she asked everyone where they were from. Scarlet retained her smile after revealing a little bit about herself to her newly acquainted comrades. Shortly after she introduced herself as an escapee from the purgatory-like realm that some people like to call Cleveland, Avi's turn came up. The homunculus listened as the half-elf revealed where he was from, as well as his police background. Turns out he was a mountie before he joined the OMR to work as an undercover agent. Scarlet nodded, a little impressed herself. [color=ff2020]"I suppose it won't be long before Pierce Brosnan puts your life story to the big screen, huh?"[/color] Scarlet asked with a soft smirk, before waving her hand. [color=ff2020]"Sorry, dumb joke."[/color]

As the conversation progressed, Scarlet caught bits and pieces of what the others were saying, particularly when Faye was answering Avi's question. Eventually, Scarlet turned to Morgana once she spoke, and listened. So Morgana makes up the second brit of their current team, sharing that title with Faye. Scarlet then realized that she and Amanda were the only Americans at the table, Avi and Michael being from Canada themselves. Morgana revealed that she was more of a researcher than a field agent, and that her talents covered a vast number of magical sciences. Scarlet shrugged. [color=ff2020]"From what I heard, you really helped us out alot. You helped Faye out when Scary Thing screwed with the uhm... magical things, and you managed to seal Scary Thing's power, giving Amanda the chance to bring the target into custody."[/color] Scarlet smiled just a little. [color=ff2020]"I'd say that's pretty damn good work for someone without any field training."[/color]

It wasn't long before the food arrived. Scarlet, who's honestly starving right about now, thanked the waitstaff and immediately went to down on her Hamburg Steak. Once she actually had a decent bite of it, her eyes lit up almost like a Christmas tree, and she continued eating it. Once Amanda commented on the agent's eagerness of devouring the food, Scarlet looked up. Every now and then, Scarlet would forget that Amanda was a robot. [i][color=ff2020]Right, she can't eat with us.[/color][/i] Scarlet thought, almost feeling bad about it. For a moment, Scarlet started giving Amanda some actual thought, thinking about the nature of her being a sentient robot. A synthetic being, just like Scarlet herself. Well, at least one part of her was natural, and even then it wasn't entirely all there. For a moment, Scarlet's eyes met with Amanda's, before she returned to her food. [i][color=ff2020]Does she know? Will she?[/color][/i] Scarlet's pace slowed as she mulled over her thoughts.

Scarlet's thoughts were cut off once Faye spoke to her. She looked to Faye, blinking, before it clicked in her head what was going on. [color=ff2020]"Oh, right! Thank you."[/color] Scarlet smiled, gently taking the bit of blockwurst that Faye handed her. Scarlet had a bite, and after liking what she was tasting, she went to town on that too. [color=ff2020]"You're right, it is great. Thanks again!"[/color] Scarlet said in between bites. She listened to Amanda and Faye's interaction in regards to how the food tastes, Scarlet nodding every now and then to corroborate what Faye was talking about. Not like Scarlet would be the best to describe food anyway, other than [i]food tasty, me likey[/i]. Once Faye encouraged Amanda to get the augmentation, Scarlet finished her bite and looked to Amanda. [color=ff2020]"Well, I personally wouldn't blame you if you still didn't want to get it, I'm sure a whole new form of data to process would be overwhelming."[/color] Scarlet took another bite and finished it, using her fork to make a few gestures. [color=ff2020]"But if it's something you really want, I don't see a reason not to go for it."[/color]

As everyone spoke and ate their meals, Morgana brought up a rather interesting question. Come to think of it, this [i]is[/i] a rather diverse group, especially for an organization like the OMR. Scarlet's experiences often had her in groups where people had similar skillsets, where these skills are multiplied in the form of squads and teams. This team seemed more like a joint task force with a bit of a ragtag feel to it. A task force that left a lot of questions lingering in Scarlet's head, some that Amanda will hopefully answer.

It took Amanda a second, but she eventually produced an answer. Scarlet leaned in closer to listen, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Out of all things, a [i]computer program[/i] chose them? Scarlet is somewhat familiar with computers herself, having tinkered with machines that ran Windows 3.0 some time ago. All things considered, they were mostly just consumer electronics that did their jobs well. With the way that Amanda described the Agent Potential Calculator, Scarlet could only guess that it used something far more advanced than what she's used to. [i][color=ff2020]Maybe the OMR got Windows 95 before everyone else did. Lucky bastards.[/color][/i] Regardless, it seems as if the calculator made no mistake in assembling this team. Once Amanda finished her explanation, Scarlet nodded softly, giving it a little more thought. [i][color=ff2020]Did the Agent Potential Calculator factor me into their equations? I just got back from deployment yesterday and signed on today. Was I really just in the neighborhood?[/color][/i] Scarlet wondered. [color=ff2020][i]What exactly [b]do[/b] they know about me?[/i][/color]

Scarlet's mind jumpstarted once more once Faye spoke up, asking if even she had potential as a somewhat untrained OMR agent. Now that Faye spoke up about it, Scarlet figured that she would use this as an opportunity to do so as well. [color=ff2020]"Come to think of it, I'm kind of wondering if I actually ended up in the erm... 'APC' myself, or even how it got data on me. As far as I know, I'm not an OMR agent."[/color] Scarlet said, taking a sip from her glass of water. [color=ff2020]"Not that I mind being a wrench in the works."[/color] Scarlet gave a light smirk before speaking again. [color=ff2020]"Still though... I couldn't help but think about it. You guys aren't planning on recruiting me... are you?"[/color] Her tone was much more curious than accusatory. [color=ff2020]"I wouldn't mind if you were, I'd kinda be flattered, but... uh... yeah."[/color]
