@Jewel - get something you can live with for the rest of your life. What is something you’d never not be passionate about? I don’t regret my tattoo; I’m removing it for another reason.

Lasering this tattoo away hurts like a beach. Getting the actual tattoo, as profesionally as it was done, was barely a fraction of the pain.

The train slowly screeching to a halt startled Milena back to the present. She sat up straight, her gaze falling upon the door leading out into the hall. Previously, she'd been occupied with memories from her past, whatever helped keep her mind occupied. The days leading up to that point were long and slightly torturous. She did her best to fight the idleness, but the book she carried with her could only help out so much. Rereading the same story with the same predictable twists did little in terms of entertainment, but that had just changed.

Milena grabbed her bag, opening the door and peaking outside. The officers in the hall were giving the order for everyone to step out of the train, and she complied. Most of the other members of the squad remained silent, Milena following suit as she stepped out onto the land. The sunlight directly settling on her face brought about an oddly calm state within her. Aside from the shuffling of feet and some words being spoken here and there, Milena could have very well been in her own little world. That is, until some names started getting called out, causing the young woman to turn around and pay attention to the officer doing the talking.

But her name was never called, although at that point, it was easy to figure out why. She stood back, watching the men get to work before the remaining troops were given an update. Well, not so much an update as a heads up. Milena sighed, although it wasn't out of frustration. It was safe to assume they were getting very close to their destination, and that was both good and bad. Once more, Milena stepped farther away from the train. She noticed some of the others started chatting amongst themselves, but she simply started walking back and forth, occasionally kicking debris from the ground as she looked down at her feet, her hands crossed in front of her. To anyone staring in her direction, she would appear to be bored out of her mind, but the truth was that Milena was busy imagining her immediate future. A great number of thoughts had suddenly flooded her mind, including those involving her new teammates. She would very soon have to rely on those strangers with her life, and it was odd thinking about them having such power and impact on her when she knew nothing about them. That's not to say they would remain strangers for very long, but she only imagined what the adjustment period would be like. From the looks of it, though, she came to the conclusion that maybe she'd be alright.

Genevieve was not the least bit amused with that Broker guy. He reminded her of a shady salesman taking advantage of one person or in this case, a group of people, and she didn't appreciate it. Not that everyone there was a saint; in fact, it was quite the opposite, but those superpowers he was selling sure as hell didn't come without a price, and that's not referring to their monetary value.

She then noticed Whipstitch having trouble with herself after her straightforward but rather short speech. Not being one to sit around and watch a situation unfold, Genevieve quietly excused herself to go up to the bar. She chose to walk to the other end where it was less crowded, flagging down the bartender when she got there. She waited for a moment, leaning forward on the bar top as she eyed the small but impressive selection of alcohol set up against the wall.

"May I have a water, please?" Genevieve smiled at the man, suddenly remembering she had finished her drink a while back. "Oh, and another Dozier." She turned her body a bit to catch another glimpse of Broker, curiosity getting the best of her as she wondered what exactly was in those vials. But it's not like she cared anyway...she would not be getting anyway near them. The bartender then returned, quicker than she had anticipated. Genevieve proceeded to pay for the drink before making her way back to offer Whipstitch some water.
My apologies, I finally realized I have to post at least once after every GM post. I'll have something tomorrow!

Well, I meant more so establishing who's going to be whose friend and/or romantic partner beforehand and then slowly incorporating that into the posts as time goes by. I'm not saying our characters have to know each other off the bat, but I was just playing with the options.
Question. Would anyone want to discuss relationships now and slowly work towards that in our posts, or should we all wing it as we go?
@Dynamo Frokane

Ehhh, I only play with words.

Back in black!

Expect my medic soon.

Once the meeting had officially commenced, Genevieve continued sipping on her drink as she eyed some other attendees she wasn't all that familiar with. Not that her observations would be exceedingly helpful given the fact that these people were at the very least, concealing some part of their appearance.... but she had to keep busy. The image of that horrible night kept tugging at her sanity, yet her poker face never faltered despite the turmoil going on within the confines of her mind. Genevieve had previously made a decision regarding her lack of active participation in the meeting and instead, she would let others do the talking. She knew she wouldn't have anything of use to contribute, and she preferred not to attract any type of attention, whether positive or negative. For the most part, she was a stranger to them and they were strangers to her.

Genevieve then glimpsed over at Sparce from across the table as he started speaking, listening to his words for a moment before her mind drifted elsewhere. However, after a minute or so, Genevieve was brought back to reality when someone else chimed in. Despite previously making up her mind to refrain from speaking up, Genevieve felt compelled to do so.

"If anyone is in fact against it, there's no need to fault them," she shrugged, "everyone will be better off without."

She spoke the truth, nothing more and nothing less.
