Brotherhood of the Hand (Assassin RP, Accepting)

[AqueousSnake]

Mercer had reached the bottom floor mostly everyone was sitting down eating. He headed over to the food stores, picked out a piece of bread, and sat down at his normal table. Normally he had sat there and most others stayed away, but on the other hand the assassins were not the most sociable bunch. He took a small bite out of the bread and thought that maybe later he would take a break from his research and go look for someone to kill.

Greeve sat with Hawk as the two of them eat silently. He only barely touched his bread and took a few bites from the meat as the taste was flavorless and dry in his mouth. He ignored as the young woman stared at him and gave her a sideways glance "Is there something you want Hawk?" He had no issues with the opinionated woman and casually handed the rest of his meal to one of the younger assassins who was both terrified and surprised that he had given it away. The room was becoming quite crowded as the other assassins entered the room and the presence of Ciang made him clench his hands. It did not go unnoticed however as the light voice of Hawk sounded nearby "You show your anger anymore and I'm sure the others will notice. Why the dislike for Ciang?" Greeve gave her an intense stare as he moved out of the room and hoped she would go away. "Is it about your family that died in a fire? That happened eight years ago right? Don't you think it's time to move on..." Greeve turned suddenly as Hawk ran into him and pushed back in surprise by the sudden stop "My family did not just die, they were murdered just to teach me a lesson about loyalty. That kind of order comes from the highest of ranks and the highest rank is Ciang." He glared at Hawk as the woman looked away, not sure of what to say. "Either it was her orders or someone else is setting me up. And you have no right to question my moving on. Besides, what would the other assassins think of your ideals about the brotherhood?" It wasn't a threat, he just wanted to be left alone really as he walked away showing little emotion of his anger. The others had no right to question either of them as long as they did their jobs and did them right. However, it made no sense to him why his wife and child were killed. The child would have been kept to become an assassin one day and raised in the order but all that was gone now and eight years still did not dull the want for revenge.

Hawk watched as he walked away and knew when she was pushing her luck. It was always a touche subject with the assassin so she decided not to press the issue. Her Ideals however had always come into question but that was her own business and as long as it did not affect the others then it was not worth note. She had to admit that Greeve was really the only one who didn't worship Ciang where she herself would think it was suicide to ever believe that the head assassin was guilty of anything. You just didn't question people of her rank and influence but that was not her problem as she turned away. Giving a deep sigh and turning on her heals she made her way back to the bench and finished her lunch ,as wolf boy and the doctor came down to eat as well, with Ciang looking out a nearby window "My were all just one big happy family..." It was sarcasm of course as she mumbled to herself but what did you expect from a group of assassins? She knew she had not killed much lately and truthfully she only took the jobs that she believed would benefit others such as tyrants or abusive power uses. Those were her favorites, and every time she disposed of one she got the feeling that the world was just a little bit cleaner. Knowing she would need to find an assignment soon to keep up with her pay, she decided going into town would be the best way to spend her time and to learn of any news that may be important. If she was lucky she would find a job ,but again, Hawk was a very picky person when it came to picking who she wanted to kill.

(sorry for the slightly delayed first post)

Early morning was never Ceol's favorite time of day. He liked the ends of days, from sunset till when the sun peaked over the horizen at the start of the next morning. Standing silently by one of the small, slim windows that made up most of the lower vantage points, he contemplated what would need to be done today. He had seen Halpo bring in a fresh kill (not human) and they had recently gotten a delivery of bread from the village so they were well stocked on food. However they had gotten several new recruits recently and they would need more mounts. For anyone watching it seemed that he thought this over too long, but in truth he was examining his plan, checking that it would go exactly as planned. The reason for this was that he had not seen his daughter for a week now, however he knew that if he didn't have a solid reason to go himself then it could arouse suspition.

Deciding that it would be best to go and get something to eat so as to steady himself before telling Ciang he was going to the village to perchase some mounts. His leather clad feet made hardly a sound as he stalked towards the main room. This morning he was suprised to see so many of the senor assassins enjoying a bit of breakfast before facing the day. The mood in the room was a bit icy, as was to be expected, but the new recruits who were kind of just milling around brightened the room a little. For all his gruffness Ceol was very poplar among the young ones as he was mentor for many of them. Indeed as he passed by heading towards the food a handful tried to attack him from behind, this was not an uncommon thing, each trying to best the teacher, however it never really worked as he fended off their attempts even knocking a couple to the floor. Grabbing half a loaf of bread and a strip of dried meat he made his way to the table that Greeve and Hawk had just vacated. Seeing that Ciang had also decided to join the rest of the brotherhood for breakfast he ate quickly. Taking a last big swig of water to wash down the very dry bread he walked slowly up to Ciang "Good Morning, Ciang." He said in a quiet, polite voice.

I watched everyone else with interest, remaining quietly by the wall. Greeve and Hawk seemed to get in a tussle and it piqued my curiousity. I slowly walked closer and stopped behind Hawk after Greeve left. "So what were you two quarreling about? It seems as if you truly touched a nerve with him this morning, yes?" I grinned. "Or am I out of line in suggesting that?" I remained respectful due to her higher rank, but I still grinned at her. It was most delightful to be irksomely innocent. I did it often.

~Ciang~

I heard a voice behind me and smiled to myself. I turned to face Ceon. "Good morning, Ceon. I believe that you have a question for me?" No one around here just came up to talk with me, except Haplo, unless they had business. Some rarely did, and others did on a more certain basis. Ceon had been here the longest, with the only exceptions being myself and the doorman, Raul. He was 52. I leaned easily against the wall.

~Haplo~

After moving the deer to the meat locker, I cleaned the cleaver and stretched. I headed into the regular kitchen and dining area, seeing almost everyone there. Odd. I just shrugged and walked over near Ciang. She was currently talking with Ceon, so I paused a ways away and leaned against a chair. She gave me a split-second glance that I returned with a sly grin. I wondered what she had in mind now. The sun slowly seeped into the room and I licked my fingers before putting out a nearby candle.

Zev watched the activity in the room with mild interest, munching on his apple. Of course that wasn't what he really wanted right that moment, it had been days since his last kill and he was hungry. His restless was visble in the way he tore through the apple, peering from the shadows at the others as though they might satisfy his bloodlust.Of course they wouldn't though so he finally shook his head, tossed the apple away and glanced at Ciang again. The room was getting to crowded for his liking though and he finally slipped out of the fortress and made his way down to the forest, heading towards town in hopes of a new mission.

(I am SO sorry I haven't posted, I am usually much more active. Some family stuff came up and I haven't had access to the internet until now.)


Coel

"Yes, I would like to go and get some more horses for the Brotherhood. With all the new recruits we need more mounts." Ceol said swiftly. He noticed Ciang's eyes dart quickly to the side and guessed that Halpo was standing somewhere behind him. Though the other hand assassin was a few years younger than himself he still held respect for him, one does not make it to the position of Hand by luck alone. Then again Ceol held a certon level of respect for all of the Brotherhood's assassins. This made sure that he never looked down on anyone, which would only cause problems from him if someone decided to try and prove themself.


Emily

The now later morning rays fell lazily on the small cottage, a simple dwelling with a large oak covering half of it in broken shadows. Earlier the girl who lived here had propped open the door and began to start the morning chores. From the outside there looked to be very little activity, but if you watched you could see the occasional cloud of dust float out of the open door escaping from the broom's attack. Stepping out onto the small front porch Emily gazed around, her sharp eyes falling tenderly on the herd of horses grazing peacefully a few colts running about, but never straying far from the edge of the herd. Leaning her broom up against the wall she started off towards the pasture. She did this every morning walking amoung the horses, checking them for any injuries they might have gotten during the night.

(Don't worry about it. That is perfectly fine. School is keeping me busy so I can't post often either.)

~Ciang~

I nodded and stood a bit taller. "That sounds about right. If my numbers are right, we will be needing about 5 more mounts, is that correct?" Without waiting, I continued on. "Take Haplo with you to help retrieve them all, maybe someone else if you want." I waved my hand to bring Haplo forward and he nodded, understanding that he was to go with Ceol. "If you need anyone else, fetch them now. If not, be on your way quickly." I turned back to the window.

(I have just noticed that I have been changing Ceon's name as I posted ^^' back to normal now though)

Nodding in agreement even as Ciang continued on Ceon felt his heart fall a little bit as Halpo was told to accompany him. Hiding his feelings he turned to give Halpo a nod of greeting, Inclining his head towards Ciang he turned and started off. First before heading out he would stop at the fortress' treasurer, though he could just pay for the horses himself and have the Brotherhood reimburse him later he found that this was much easier. Walking slowly in a thoughtful manner with hands clasped behind his back Ceon's was deep in thought. He was trying to think up a way to try and loose Halpo without it being to obvious, this was much easier said than done and no plans presented themselves. But then again prehaps once they were under way he would think of something.
