Hey everyone, I'm working on a reply at the moment, but a quick heads up that I'm gonna be away until at least Saturday afternoon!

Sorry for disappearing on you guys, I've been up to my eyeballs in irl stuff the last few days, gonna try my best to get a quick one in before bed, and I should probably let you all know that I'm gonna be away until Saturday afternoon.

Trip was quiet as the others vented. He'd been touched by the rising violence in the city, same as the rest of them, going all the way back to when his own father had been killed seven years ago. As much as he would sometimes love to head out into the night to beat the life out of the gutless thugs that ruled the city, he also liked the idea of living a long healthy life.
"I think we should take a moment and not bury the lede" he began carefully, once the talk ended. "Sure, we all have our ways of defending ourselves. If it came to it, each of us could handle our business in that regard, but those guys out there have taken on much worse than us. They have guns, knives, and most importantly, a vicious streak a mile long. Screw with the wrong guy, they won't hesitate to put you down."

Both accepted! Go ahead and post your character sheets on over to the Character Tab, and start posting when you want! In answer to your question ineffible, no dorm assignments (yet). If there are, it'll come up within the IC!

Dan Green sipped his coffee slowly as he stood on the balcony and watched the sun come up. It was a monumental day, years in the making, the moment he'd been waiting for ever since the night he announced his retirement. The day that Green's MMA Academy would officially open.
It was a tremendous undertaking, that was for sure. To even locate a suitable property was challenging enough, but he had persevered and now, finally, his dream was coming to fruition. In the woodlands of rural Ontario, hours away from any sign of civilization, the Academy stood. An immense property dedicated to nothing more than the complete reinvention of MMA. He was giddy with excitement over finally opening the doors and showing his first class around.
Later...
Jason Green was just finishing a light jog around the exterior of the Academy, as he rounded the corner to the front of the training center, he noticed Alex Slade, his father's longtime training partner and close friend emerging from the front door.
"Morning Jason" the Brit smiled in greeting "Hang around for a minute, will ya? The bus is gonna be here with the others in a moment"
Sure enough, within a few seconds, the rumbling of an engine met Jason's ears. Before long, the bus rolled into view and slowed to a stop in front of the training center. Alex stepped on board and bellowed out.
"Hello everyone! Please leave your bags and just make your way on inside the training complex. Mr. Green wants to say a few words. The staff will carry your things on over to the dormitory, you'll collect them there. Thank you"

You guys with your sheets already done can go ahead and post them over. And, ineffable, don't worry about it, it's no rush!
I'm gonna throw together the first IC post now!

"That's true. It was a clusterfuck. I don't think Marcus' eyebrows ever did grow back right" Carver said as he unfolded a jump chair from the wall behind Ace's seat. He saw Seth's confusion plastered across the young man's face.
"For context, think about Demeter, now add in five times as many fire-spewing Askaarans.... and a gunship that nearly knocked us clear of atmo. Not my finest moment as captain, if I'm being honest."
"I'm sure you did what you felt was best Captain" Seth replied softly and serenely.
"Well anyway gents, I've got a breakfast date with the wife, but before I go, Ace, fill me in. What's the trip looking like from here... assuming we don't hit a roving band of pirates on the way to Serros Station. Heading and ETA as well"

"Yeah that's insane" Trip said "I mean, don't get me wrong, I've always said your smoothies were criminally good Ally, but this is ridiculous"
He took a sip of coffee and set the cup back on the table before continuing.
"I was out for a jog along the boardwalk this morning. Saw a guy just blow this woman over and snatched her purse. I tried to catch up to him, but the bastard had too much of a head start. Marcus is right, things are really going to hell in a handbasket. The gangs have the run of the whole city. Personally, I think the cops are on the take, but that's just me"
He finished off his coffee and tried to lob the empty cup into a nearby garbage can. It clattered off the rim and landed in the floor.
"This is why I don't play basketball" he said with a grin as he slipped out of his seat to finish disposing the cup.
