Guess Who

Starfire

When Alina asked where she would be able to acquire more ammunition, John simply pointed to the Starfire dropship that had just landed. "Should be in one of the crates in there. If you can't find the specific ammo type you need than it's probably not very common, meaning there are two ways to go about getting it. Option one, you special order it. You'll have to pay for it though as well as wait for the next shipment which will most likely not arrive until after we finish our next mission. Or option two, you buy it from one of many vendors located throughout the city of wherever you're at, in this case the creatively named Tharvis City of the planet Tharvis. You can tell they worked hard on coming up with that name. It'll be even more expensive, but you'll get it immediately," he explained. Once Alina walked away, John turned back around to resume sitting on the edge of the platform.

As soon as he did so though, he heard his name called yet again. John let out a heavy sigh as he got back up. I just sat down, goddammit. Once he was up, he looked at the anthropomorphic fox with a completely neutral expression, covered of course by his helmet. Y'know, when you end up having to work with a human-sized, bipedal, talking skunk and are completely unsurprised in any way by it, that's when you know you've seen some shit. Sticking out his hand to complete the hand shake, John replied, "Yeah, but a lot mercenaries usually get hired because of their prior military service so I'm not too surprised that we've got someone like her. In fact, I'm more surprised that we don't have more people like her on our team." After finishing the greeting, John pulled up his arm and began typing into his datapad. "I'm assuming you need your datapad synced up as well or was HQ a bit more prepared when they sent you here?"

@Guess WhoIs it okay if i post again?

@Crazy Doctor

Yes, since we have such a small group of people, as long as there is at least one post between your previous one and your next one it is fine to post whenever in the IC.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Any objections to beginning classes tomorrow morning?

@Lugubrious

None here, go for it.

If it wasn't for the helmet blocking her view, Alina would have seen John looking her with raised eyebrow. The very formal and military-like way she spoke was definitely unexpected. Whatever. Let's see what she wants. "At ease, ma'am," he said after giving a light sigh. John then rose from his sitting position so that he could look at her without having to strain his neck to look behind him. And I was just getting comfortable, too. At the suggestion to sync up datapads, he pulled up his wrist and began typing away to begin the process. Just like everything in this world, the action was wireless and the information passed from his datapad to hers without trouble, though because his model was a lot older than most it took a couple minutes. "There you go, miss. Everything you need: communication frequencies, access to your pay, information on our next job, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Is there anything else you need?"

If Alina were to check her datapad, she'd see she received the exact same information everyone else received for their choice of the next mission, which she would be able to decide on just at the press of a touch screen or hard-light holographic display depending on how recent her datapad's model was:

Corporate Sabotage

Pakhan Xena Nova may be the leader of a very dangerous group of criminals, but that doesn't mean that everything she does is illegal. Case in point, she's a major shareholder in a major banking and financial services holding company. Many times the Mota Clan has tried to find some kind of dirt to bring the company down, but to no avail. So we've been hired to bring it down a different way. Stealing everything of value in their vault. The Mota Clan hopes that no one will trust the bank with their money anymore and the company will end up going under. So, you want to pull off a bank heist?

Assassination

This job sounds pretty simple. The Mota Clan has sent one of their higher ups to make a deal with some politician and we're supposed to kill that guy before he makes whatever the deal is. The problem is that that politician is the lord of Tharvis so he's going to be very well protected and, needless to say, so will our target. Sitting at a window across the street until we get the perfect shot isn't going to be possible, so we're going to have to break in and get our hands dirty.

Too late, you said it.

Ship confirmed.

I really hope no one has a RobertxShiro ship going on because I feel that my last post will have just added to your delusions.

Robert Fallson - Trying to Help

"I have Grimm Studies next. Wait, wha-" Robert was just able to get out before being suddenly grabbed by Shiro and rushed out of the room. Whatever it was he and Sapphire were talking about, it was obviously something they, or maybe it was just Shiro, didn't want him to know about. Robert's imagination began to get the better of him as he tried to think of the possibilities. Knowing those two's relationship with each other, he very much doubted they were secretly a couple. The dislike for each other seemed way too realistic and in no way appeared an act, not to mention that wouldn't explain the medication Sapphire was showing to him. So what else could it be? Maybe Shiro's been up to something dangerous... or illegal. Maybe Sapphire found out about it and... Nah, Shiro doesn't seem like the kind of person. Then Sapphire caught up to the two of them, made a few comments, and got her knife back. Robert was actually a bit more reassured now because if Ozpin knew about, as Sapphire stated, then it couldn't really be that bad.

As Shiro and Robert reached the door of Grimm Studies thanks to the former's admirable sense of direction, the latter couldn't help but feel the need to tell Shiro something. "Thanks for getting me here, man... Umm, hey, I just want you to know something though... I consider you a good friend, something I've felt to be in a little short supply of. It feels like, whenever I meet someone that I like, something bad always- I'm getting off topic, sorry... What I'm trying to get at is, whatever you were talking about with Sapphire, I'm not going to ask or push for information. It's your business and if you want to keep it that way I understand. As your friend though, I would like to know so I can help. I'm here for ya'. Rain or shine, you say the word and I'll be right by your side ready to fight off whatever it is that's troubling you. Okay? See ya' in Practice, dude." Robert turned toward the door of Professor Port's class and entered the classroom as he gave a wave goodbye toward his buddy. RVGD's leader didn't expect Shiro to tell him the 'big secret', especially right there and then when class was starting soon and the tiger faunas was who knows how far away from his own class, so he would leave and let his words settle.

Did they blatantly say 'antibiotics' ?

@harinezumikouken

I don't know, it was so long ago that I don't remember. At the time I was also more worried about the allergic reaction I was having to the antibiotics than what the bottle said.

<Snipped quote by Guess Who>

That would be too obvious of a breach of privacy if that were true, wouldn't it? xD

@harinezumikouken

I don't know. I've never been given a prescription before except for a bottle of antibiotics back when I got my wisdom tooth removed.

<Snipped quote by Guess Who>

Shiro hasn't opened the door yet. Sapphire put the knife in on the interior side just before he opened it to prevent him from leaving.

Sapphire's actually had some limited medical training and even she had to look up what Shiro's prescription was for.

@Prince of Seraphs

Yeah I know, Robert opened the door. He noticed the knife as he was opening it. Sorry if I didn't make that obvious enough.

The prescription thing I'll change though. I figured that the bottle would have the words "anti-psychotics" on it.
