“Yeesh, woman. It was a friendly conversation.” Gone shouted after Gaeia before muttering. “Damned tree-hugger.”
Gone had the decency to blush, after Gaiea’s lecture. Once he had figured out that she was referring to him pissing testosterone. He figured she was right, and he was in the wrong but he need not admit it. But then again apologising wouldn’t hurt either, they were team mates.
He watched the exchange between Dan and Colum, somewhat perplexed. When Dan addressed him, he nodded and said “Righto dude.” He was never the most formal person.
“Fine, Gone, you fly.” The boy, Colum said.
Gone snorted and muttered to quietly for anyone to hear. “Tch. Like I needed your agreement.” He was still sore about the matter.
He then turned to leave, as he went to pass Stardust he turned to her. “So, love, I said my bit. Can I leave now? Gotta pack and all.”
/Either you are incredibly dense or a glutton for a pain. Or in your case both./ Arianrhod said.

Blaze briefly brushed past Reese, outside Xu's office wondering weather she should have just killed him then and there. How could no one see it but her? He was so... so unobvious, it was plain that he was on the side of Adel.
But I have no proof, if i killed him and I was wrong about his alliance, I could be sentenced to death. I must tell someone of my suspicions She thought, immediately looking towards Tomoe.
"To--" She began just as Tomoe punched a very familiar face in the jaw. Blaze's eyes widened in surprise.
"@#%$ IT!" Wolfe yelled.
That guy-Tomoe's friend- He's not part of our team?!?! Blaze asked herself, realizing the sad truth.
"Could things get.. ANY worse?" She mumbled as she was reminded of a certain incident that involved Terry merrily giving people little pieces of paper as if they were cupons.
“So, love, I said my bit can I leave now. Gotta pack and all.” Gone had said to Stardust after decided that he would pilot the ship.
"You disgust me." Blaze replied bluntly, and to the point. "Maybe you should ask for a leash and collar instead, seeing as how you are the pet of Stardust."

"Hyne damnit Stardust! You. Are. Hurting. My. Ears. PLEASE. STOP. YELLING." Zacke yelled back at her.
Stardust cocked an eyebrow as soon as Zacke turned to Tomoe and spat, ""Excuse us for having a SHORT conversation while people are leaving the office. Should I get down on all fours and do twenty four you? Sh!t..." in her face.
"What's that?" Her mouth opened slightly. That last word of his definitely hit a nerve of hers. Her purple blue eyes flared.
Who does he think he is?! Her jaw clenched. Short conversation or whatever it was, as long as it had nothing to do with the mission was irrelevant.
/Well, if you've been rude to them, expect that they'll be rude to you as well./
I don't care. He's not in the position to tell me that!
"You don't talk that way to me!" she barked and was about to grab Zacke when Rika added another comment in favor of him. Again, she was insulted. She felt outnumbered thus enraging her. Then all of a sudden, she heard Gone speak this time, answering her question.
/It would be a lot faster if we take an airship don't you think?/ Diwata tried to change the subject as Colum and Gone debate on who would be the pilot. Stardust became silent and listened to them, greatly irritated. She must make sure the incident on the Deathstrike never happen again but looking at the people here; she had a feeling something might go wrong again. Her irritation kept rising.
These SeeDs really are pushing it!
/Now, now you got your answer, no need to go off on them. Let it go. / Diwata reminded her. She looked at everyone in the hallway. Maybe Diwata was right. She had to simmer down.
"If we're finished pissing testosterone on the hall floor, we have a mission to accomplish...." Gaiea announced, stealing the lines that she was supposed to say.
"So, love, I said my bit can I leave now. Gotta pack and all.” Gone flirted again.
Blaze cut in and Stardust quickly shouted, "Shut up!"
"I told you don't get cool with me!" she warned Gone this time. After a few seconds, she grunted and tried to regain her composure.
All right, she said to Diwata. Besides, she wouldn't want to bother Xu in her fit. Focus on the mission...
/Right. I'm sure they will focus too./
"Okay! Don't waste time and head outside now. We don't have enough time to waste." she finally spat at the others. Not forgetting to shot a glare towards Zacke, she stormed out of the hallway.
But don't think I'll forget what that fool said to me, say that trash to me again and he'll see!
/Oh, believe me, he already did./
Stardust didn't answer. She was dead serious about it.

“Whoa, slow down, love. Leash? Collar!? PET!? Whatcha talking about? I’ve said all of five sentences to her. How in the name of Hyne could I be her pet!? Have you bonked your head recently, love?” Gone said, slightly confused.
He didn’t see why she had butted in. Stardust was more than capable of defending herself. Unless of course this Blaze girl was a good friend of Stardust’s, that would explain it. She must just be really protective of her friends. He frowned, if they were friends as he surmised. Why had they been at each other’s throats last night? He shrugged mentally, must have just been a tiff. They seemed on good terms today.
“So, love, you’re pretty protective of your friends, eh?” Gone asked, before heading towards his dorm to pack, after that he was off to the airship to do some last minute repairs and such.

Sym stuck her tongue out at Col's back as he left, then she turned to run to her dorm, a load of packing awaiting her there. All she'd done last night was talk and sleep, not something she minded talking with a friend until the wee hours in the least, but she'd forgotten to pack her stuff up before hand. Which left it all for right now. Sym sighed. . . this was turning into a wierd day. First had been Terry, then the meeting, and finally her anti-social cousin-in-law. What next, an invasion of killer slugs? ~Nope, don't answer that. . .~
She was done quicker than expected and, after locking her door, Sym was off at a run down the hall again to gather with the rest of her team. Not that she had to look far to find them. . . all she had to do was follow the shouting and cursing to track them down. Sym shook her head sadly and wandered in, sitting down for a bit to rest her feet, "Really, can't you guys do ANYTHING without screaming and shouting?"

“Why thanks, love, that means a lot to me, coming from a pretty girl like you.” Gone said, his voice calming down.
So now I'm 'love' huh? Jun raised an eyebrow.
{Why? Do you object to it?}
Not really... just thought it was specifically reserved for taming tempers, heh....
A girl stepped in between the two guys and cut their debate off.
"If we're finished pissing testosterone on the hall floor, we have a mission to accomplish. Quite frankly, I don't give a damn who flies the airship, but it's going to be me if you two can't act like adults." She warned them, turning her gaze from one to the other.
And I thought she was one of the milder ones.
{There's a serious flaw in the way you perceive people, and you know it.} Her GF said, his tone serious for once.
She watched as the girl made her way towards the dorms, and later at the man apologising on behalf of Colum in a distracted manner.
A flaw? At perceiving people...? She mused, hardly noticing that Colum had agreed to let Gone fly the ship.
"Okay! Don't waste time and head outside now. We don't have enough time to waste." Stardust spat, and stormed out of the hallway.
"I guess I'd better pick up my things too." Jun muttered to no one in particular, and walked towards the dorms after her.
Back at her dorm, Jun slung her sword across her back, tightening its leather straps around her torso. Grabbing her bag, she slung it around her left shoulder, and walked towards the door. She stopped short in front of it, closed her eyes, and stood in silence for a few moments.
This is it, Jun Kuroki. From this moment onwards, you will concentrate on the mission, and nothing else.
When she opened her eyes, they were gleaming with a new light.
"Nothing but the mission..."

/My my.....this briefing was much more entertaining than the last!/ Obsidian noted.
Tomoe had to agree, although she knew she was partly at fault. Infinity was screaming yet again--what Tomoe wouldn't give for a few long-lasting Silence spells!--about how pathetic the group was, and one thing had led to another, escalating into a practical screamfest. The mission has barely started and already tempers are running high........
/Says the girl who just punched someone in the face,/ was her Guardian Force's reply. Tomoe didn't answer.
"Okay! Don't waste time and head outside now. We don't have enough time to waste." Infinity's grating voice forced Tomoe out of her silent thoughts. She caught the pink-haired woman's dark scowl at Zacke before storming off, and Tomoe breathed an inaudible sigh of relief. Thank Hyne. Now my precious ears can rest.
However, the time for casual conversation had passed, much to Tomoe's chagrin, and the mission had officially begun, and she needed to get her weapons in her dormitory, not to mention refine a few new spells. Tomoe glanced at Zacke and nodded slightly, "I'll see you later, Zacke..." She headed in the direction of the dorms.
Wolfe winced as he tried to move his jaw, but he could barely make a sound. That's gonna leave a nasty bruise for sure, the young man thought, walking away from the team. He had left his jacket in his room prior to the meeting, and he refused to leave it behind. Might as well grab an ice pack from the Infirmary on the way, Wolfe told himself.
/She hasn't changed at all,/ Athena mused in his thoughts. /Still as boyish as ever./
Wolfe smiled slightly, although it hurt him to do so. Yeah, I know. Isn't she cute? His grin grew (as did his pain) as he thought of Blaze. Speaking of cute.....
/....I suppose this means your focus won't be on the mission?/ The war goddess sounded disaproving.
Wolfe didn't answer. /I knew it./

Zacke gave one last nod at Tomoe before turning and heading for his own dorm. He stilled frowned in irritation. They weren't even off Garden and Stardust was already barking orders. Things are going to have to change, soon. he thought.
/Well what are you going to do? Obviously all the yelling back isn't doing anything, but a number on your vocal chords./
Well if I were a girl I would have hit her long ago, but I don't want to hurt her, what with my rock-hard biceps-- Iris interrupted his thoughts with a snort. He brushed it off. I can't hit her, and telling her to quit isn't doing anything. I tried reporting her to Leonhart, and he's on her side. The only other thing I can think of is a straight-jacket. I can get some of the others to hold her down while I strap the thing on her. Then we can gag her and make her sit in the back of the ship./Stop daydreaming./
Hey it's a nice dream. he replied, unlocking his dorm door. He walked in and groaned inwardly. Packing was the last thing he felt like doing. And I'll tell you another thing, Iris; the next time Stardust yells at Tomoe she's going to get her face slapped. Guys can slap girls can't they?
/Oh, what your mother would say...but you know my opinion, why bother if it's a sissy slap? If you're going to smack her, make it a hook to the nose or something...oh but you're not, are you?/
...no. He shoved a shirt into the open duffel bag on his bed. But I'll make sure she doesn't do it again.
/You know what she would really hate? A hug. Remember when you leaned on her? She was furious. Next time give her a great big bear hug. She'll probably start hyperventilating or something.../
Zacke snicked. After the train station incident, I'm afraid of all contact with her. That punch to the eye really did hurt.
/Yes well maybe this entire ordeal will improve your tolerance skills. You really do have the worst mood swings, Zacke./
Whatever. he threw his sketch pad on top of the clothes inside the bag, then zipped it and slung it over his shoulder. He suddenly realized he had no idea where they were supposed to meet. Uh...Iris?
/Don't ask me./
Zacke exhaled angrily. The only reason I even leave you juntioned outside battle is to help me remember stuff, and you're getting worse with it every day. Maybe I should ground you from battle for a while.
/It's your call. Don't come crying to me when you get your ass beat by some Gizzard because Big Momma Iris wasn't there to back you, though. And it's not my fault you were too busy chatting with Tomoe to know where to go./
Zacke shook his head and set off down the corridor, ignoring his GF. He made his way toward the airship landing garage.

Darkbluehated~
Terry looked on in shame at his team mates.
He felt hope and moral dropping every moment.
This wouldn't work.... why? H-how can they be like this?.... There's so much darkness.... it's as if, if they don't care about anything else..... nothing at all...
Terry signed sadly. Is there no hope for humanity to change... Pandora's box.... left hope for humanity.... in this group, there was more hope joining the sorceress.
Is that why?
Terry silenly contemplated to himself as he stepped backwards into a shadow. Disappearing instantly as his skin met with the darkness. No one would notice him, only the ones that can detect the most stealthiest or the ones who actually pay attention to him.
...sorceress...

“Whoa, slow down, love. Leash? Collar!? PET!? Whatcha talking about? I’ve said all of five sentences to her. How in the name of Hyne could I be her pet!? Have you bonked your head recently, love?...” Gone asked Blaze after she had interrupted.
"Love?" Blaze spat as if it were a cuss word. "Did you just fuking call me love? You're the one who's been 'bonked' on the head with the idiot club a few too many times ..." She paused as Gone began to walk away.
“So, love, you’re pretty protective of your friends, eh?” He said as he began to drift off.
"Don't you fvcking walk away from me!" Blaze yelled angrily, grabbing his arm. "THESE," She said as her claws shot out from her arms inches away from Gone's neck. "THESE are my BEST friends and they protect ME from people like YOU, and you should stay away from my friends and I if you ever wish to have children."
"AND WHAT THE FUCKK ARE YOU STARING AT?!?!?" She screamed, suddenly whipping her head at Wolfe's direction.

Gone struggled not to gulp as Blaze’s claws hovered inches from his jugular. He failed. His eyes went slightly wide as he looked at the spastic female. She must be PMSing something fierce.
“Listen love, you can’t remove me from the gene pool. It’d be… sacrilegious!” Gone said, his voice squeaking slightly, he shifted slightly moving that particular part of his anatomy away from Blaze’s claws.
"AND WHAT THE FUCKK ARE YOU STARING AT?!?!?" Blaze screamed at some dude whose name he couldn’t remember.
Gone took immediate advantage of her distraction to remove himself from her grasp and hightail it to the hanger. He needed to do a few last minute repairs and get away from that spastic female. That one went off the deep end at the drop a pin. He hoped she didn’t catch up with him, till after someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over her head.

Reese stepped out of the doorway and let the door swing shut as soon as the last person left the office.
"AND WHAT THE FUCKK ARE YOU STARING AT?!?!?" someone suddenly screeched. His eyes followed the direction the sound came from, and he noticed it was Blaze. The young man she had a hold of wrestled away and set off down the corridor rather fast.
Brash. he made a mental note. Worked up over something so little. That could really work to my advantage.
He shook his head softly and set off for his dorm. Whatever was going on here, he no longer wanted to be around.

Spiffy Goddess of Death~
Sym shook her head again, not wanting to board the transport if the screamers were going too. Goddess, what she wouldn't give for some peace and quiet, for a softly playing song or conversation with a friend. . . anything that was more subdued than the shouts of her allies. She fiddled with the strap of her gymbag, trying not to glare at the stupidity of the others and the sense of deja-vu creeping up her spine. It had been like this the last mission, with almost everyone at everyone else's throats. Didn't they realize that they needed teamwork to survive again, that it wasn't a free-for-all?
~For the love of the Goddess, can't they get along for just one mission? We're supposed to be professionals!~ Sym leaned back, hanging her head as she tried to block out the sounds around her. It was then that she felt something behind her, along the wall. A presence that didn't want to be felt, but was familiar. Smiling, Sym turned to the wall and whispered, "How long you going to hang out there?"

Daniel frowned at the display the others were putting on. Immature for a group of graduated cadets...Wonder what the scores on their exams were?, he thought, his mind retreating back into 'instructor' mode.
Here we go, Freya commented sarcastically, We're going to be going on a bloody wild-goose-chase.
Dan made no reply to his GF. With a frown, and a deathglare at Sym, he walked down to the airship docks. A few cadets saw the man, but made no attempt to speak with him.
====
Colum's annoyance at being told he couldn't fly was tenfold. With a vicious kick at the wall, he vented, (thankfuly) to his GF.
Wonder why Vacc made the effort to get Deathstrike salvaged? It was a hulk of junk, but it was a damn good ship, he said in his head, contradicting himself.
Contradicting ourselves, are we? Dove's sarcastic tone biting in.
If I wanted sarcasm, I'd look for it among my so-called "friends", Dove Col replied, as he sat down on one of the many handraillings, pulling out a book to read.

Gone arrived in the hanger a few minutes later, after punching in his access code he turned off the lockdown, his new teammates needed to be able to get in. He walked over the airship they would be using, Lady Luck, she was an older model but she was reliable and could hold her own against the newer models.
Across the hanger, Deathstrike was being drained, his preliminary examination lead him to believe that he could restore it. Eventually, once he got the funds. Shaking his head, he started his pre-flight check of the Lady Luck. Everything looked to be in good condition, but he decided to double-check while he waited for his teammates to arrive. His field kit was already stored so he didn’t have to pack, or anything. Vayu, was waiting for him in the cockpit, should he need to use the double-ended halberd.
He hoped the others got here soon; he couldn’t wait to get in the pilot’s seat. It had been too long since he’d been on mission that required this particular speciality of his.
