Destiny Roleplay ( Open and Accepting! )

[XxBarricadeXx]

A sudden knock made the warlock wake up. She yawned as she sat up. She rubbed her eyes as she sighed. Who would be knocking at her door now? Was it Rourke? If so, what did he want. " Coming. " She said, softly. It took a few minutes for her to actually get up. With another yawn, he Warlock forced herself to get out of the bed. She still looked tried, but she was awake. She patted down her short black hair as a few strands stooded up.

She didn't bother of changing in her amour yet. She didn't want to leave whoever had knocked at the door. She walked towards the door before she opened it. So her surprise it wasn't Rourke, but a women. Maybe one of the guards. " Yes? " She said. She leaned against the door frame as she looked at her.

Aurora needed some coffee to help her this morning. She even wonderd if they had any. Ah, right now wasn't the time to worry. Why did she come here? Did Rourke tell her to get her for something? Again, she wasn't sure.

Feron | Human Male | Nightstalker Hunter | Tagged: Nadia/Any | Location: Earth -> The Last City

A small laugh left him as he slowly leaned back up, his hands moving to the table to assist himself. "I usually only get a three stack, and I must say this time was a bit more then enough." He chuckled, pushing against the table and using his feet to push the chair under him so that he could make his move to stand as well. "Lets." He would respond with a smile, finally moving from the chair with a small noise of discomfort as he did so. Would definitely stick to the three stack next time, no matter how hungry he seemed.

"Next stop, book shop." He chuckled with a nod, carefully picking his way through the resturant. Seems like they'd chosen a good time to eat, as now business was beginning to pick up, and the poor place was getting swamped with an influx of people seeking a good breakfast. Upon reaching the door, he would pull it open, allowing her out first before following behind into the cold city air. It didnt seem to bother him the slightest, his armor well adjusted for such temperatures, but the tip of his nose would color a faint red hue from the sudden change in temperature. The streets were coming alive one by one, buildings flipping signs from 'closed' to 'open' as they moved past them. "The book store is relatively close, but, if you do see somewhere else you want to stop by afterward, just say. I don't mind." He would offer, hazel gaze slowly peering down at her before he shifted it back in the direction he was headed.

The small shop stood out like a sore thumb, completely fashioned in red brick with white trim along the edges and a cute little white door with a rounded top. Really not something you saw around anymore, but perhaps that is why the owner chose it for a book store. "Ah, here we are." He would chime happily, pulling the door open and causing the bells on the door to ring to announce their arrival to the clerk.

((Hey, don't worry about it.^_^))


Nadia remained standing near the side of the table when Feron got up to stand. She couldn't help but smile hearing the tiny noise that came from out of him."You have most certainly outdone yourself today then." she told him with a subtle raise of an eyebrow. He conquered the stack of pancakes, but it was going to leave him with a bloated feeling. A dreadful feeling that she had experienced when she was invited to some fancy dinner party that was invitation only. She had not seen so much food in her life. The waiters and waitresses just kept the food coming, and well, it would feel rude if she was to turn it down. She ended up getting sick later on in the night, so she had to bail before anyone noticed that she disappeared. So maybe if she ever had to go to one of these fancy dinner parties again, she'd drag Feron along so he could eat whatever they brought for her.  She let him take the lead again, and followed after him through the restaurant.  It looked like they were leaving at a good time, because the place was actually becoming more and more crowded with the rest of the early risers. She nodded her head once to thank him when he opened the door for her, and then she walked through the doorway. She made sure that she stepped off to the side so that she was out of the way if someone wanted to come into the restaurant and not to block Feron. When he showed up, she began to walk along the street, but made to match his pace and not get too far behind, just  in case the book store was not too far away from their location. She had her hands behind her back with her gaze sweeping over the place. A small and warm smile stayed on her lips, while she marveled at the beauty of the Last City. This....this right here was worth it. To fight the darkness, not knowing whether today would be your last day. To see the hope that these people had despite the odds stacked against them was actually kind of inspirational. She got lost in her own little world with curiosity filling up to the brim. She flicked her gaze momentarily to Feron when he told her that if there was anything that sparked her interest, they could stop and take a look. "Mmmm hmmm. Okay.I'll let you know." she said softly, as she moved her gaze off of him when she caught some motion from the corner of her eye.


There had been some school-aged children that had been playing on the streets, but they had stopped for a second or two of their time to admire the Guardians that were decked out in their armor. She blinked her eyes a few times, before averting her attention to something else. Gosh, it felt so weird. To be put on top of this high place where these civilians practically idolized you as a Guardian. Mostly from out of respect because of their line of work, and that they were literally the light that made the darkness shy away from these lands. The Guardians represented hope and were the security of future generations so that humanity would not perish. She didn't realize that Feron had stopped. Well, she did when she ended up bumping into him. She instantly took a few steps back when she did, and tilted her head back to look at him. Why did they stop? She followed his gaze, and she beamed like a child on Christmas day upon her discovery."Ah! Oh my gosh! It's soooo cute!" she exclaimed, seeing the book store that he had been talking about. She loved everything about it! She could hardly contain herself, as she walked over to the entrance of the bookstore. Nadia headed inside the bookshop with her Ghost popping up and trailing after her. She acknowledged the shopkeeper with a small nod of her head, before glancing over to Feron. "I'll be right back." she told him as her Ghost floating past her to a specific section of the door. She spotted her Ghost drift by, and she trotted after him."Hey!Wait up." she murmured with a harsh whisper, keeping her voice down like if this place was a library. She followed her Ghost to the section, seeing that he was already pulling a few books from off the shelf."Byzantine? No, you read that one already. Along with the Roman, Mongol, Persian..." her Ghost was starting to say as he filtered through the books and set the ones that were floating in the air back onto the shelves."Oh? How about the Russian Empire?" her Ghost asked as he turned to face her."I've read it, Plato. Spoiler alert. The Tsar, Tsarina, and the rest of the royal family dies at the hands of a bunch of rebels." Nadia responded while she let her hair down for a moment to tie it back up into a neater bun."Seems like you've read them all."Her Ghost said as she had her hair up and she walked over to another shelf."What should I move onto next?" she asked her Ghost, as she lifted her hand to pull a random book from off the shelf."Theories? Or, maybe the advancement of-" she was starting to say, but she saw something drop from between the pages of the book she picked up. She looked down to her boots with an expression of shock crossing her face.Right next to her boots was a gear. She knelt down to pick it up from the floor, with her Ghost matching the same shock as she did upon the discovery."Get that book. The one you are holding now." he said with seriousness.

To her surprise, the Warlock had answered the door. The woman blinked her eyes a few times from out of the first impression when the Warlock stood in the doorway.It was because of this, that she almost dropped the disguise to appear like some other guard. Almost. The woman raised her hand to her mouth while she cleared her throat, before she had spoken."Good morning to you, Aurora. I have heard great things about you." she started to say, whilst going through a list of names that she could use as an alias for now."My name is April.I work alongside Rourke as an advisor." she explained briefly to her. The name? That was a lie. April wasn't her name, but a false identity.Everything else? Eh.Mostly true. She was sort of an advisor. She didn't need for the whole complex to know who she was though."I'm going to get straight to the point. You and I? We are going to the Last City of Earth." she stated as she shifted some weight onto her right foot.She raised her hand to set it on her hip, while she looked up at the Warlock. She was taller than her. How awkward."Nothing major...really.Just put that ol' armor on and grab something light to eat." she started to say, as she stepped to the side to let the Warlock go if she was going to leave the room."Rourke is a tad busy.He sent a few scouts earlier in the morning to go find any Guardians that may be of use to this project." she also decided to say with a shrug of her shoulders."Hence, why you will be coming with me today. It will be quick. Maybe thirty minutes to an hour spent at this city." she informed her to give her a good estimate of how long she would be out there.She wouldn't be alone.She would be accompanying her in case things went sideways. She highly doubt that they would run into any trouble. If they did, they would recognize her more quickly than the poor warlock that she was dragging her along with her today."It's basically reconnaissance. I have heard something...peculiar. I want to find out if it is true.To confirm it myself." she added, as she begun to turn away from the warlock."See you in the hangar. I'll give you thirty minutes to eat." she concluded, then walked down the corridor.When she turned around the corner, the armor that she had been wearing shifted to something that a civilian would wear.Her eyes transitioned from their bright coloration to a chocolate brown with her hair doing the same as she ran her fingers through the low ponytail. If she got the chance to find the little irregularity? She'll eliminate it.

Feron | Human Male | Nightstalker Hunter | Tagged: Nadia/Any | Location: Earth -> The Last City

He completely missed the gawking children, and likely a good thing, for he was the type to tell stories for hours at a time when asked. Upon stepping into the cute little book shop he would nod as she mentioned she would be right back, not minding the slightest. He stuck close to the door, feeling oddly out of place in the shop, but his eyes trailed after Nadia until she disappeared further into the store.

"Aren't you going to have a look?" A voice would call, directing Feron's gaze from where Nadia had disappeared.

"I, uhh. I'm  not much of a reader." He would respond with a nervous smile as the clerk approached, eyeing the Guardian carefully.

"Nonsense! Come come, look at some of these. There are very interesting things in books, Guardian." She would say, eagerly hooking her arm into the males and practically dragging him along to a bookshelf.

"I uh.. ma'am.." He started, eyes shooting to the side as if trying to find Nadia and beg for help. He nearly smacked right into a bookshelf seconds later, and gave up his resistance to the woman as she pointed a few of her favorite books. Doing his best to be polite, he would nod his head, and at least seem interested in what she had to say. "Very interesting indeed, ma'am." He would  say with a nervous grin, his hands holding onto several of the books. He would buy them, of course, but even he was unsure if he would actually find the time to read them. Pax seemed to find the whole thing genuinely hilarious, which didn't make it seem any easier on the Hunter.

[XxBarricadeXx]

Aurora looked down at the women. She heard heard about her? She didn't know it had already spreaded around. Well, that was what she thought. Then when she mentioned Rourke, she guessed how the women knew about her.

They were going to the last city of earth. She didn't question her as nodded. It was at least something to do. She wouldn't be stuck here. " Alright then. " She said. She wasn't sure where to get food at this place. She never really explored it yet. She watched her leave before she shut the door.

Now, Aurora just had to get on her armour, and then she would find something to eat. Or she would try too. She quickly got her armour on as she made her way out. Her helmet was held in the crock of her shoulder. She wasn't going to put it on right now when she was about to get something to eat.

She did a little looking around until she did fnd food. She grabbed a Apple. A green one to be exact. She started to eat it as she made her way to the hanger. She threw in a garbage can once she was finished. She then placed her helmet on before she arrived at the hanger. Aurora then looked around for April. She had said to meet her here.

With a trace of curiosity, Nadia flipped the tiny metal gear that fit in the palm of her hand. Okay. She wasn't really the type to believe in fate, but if there was a day in which she would be a believer, now would be a good day to start. There was no way. Not even the slimmest of possibilities that this could be one of the gears. She opened her palm up for her Ghost to take the gear, and put it in storage. When Plato had taken the gear from out of her hand, and set down the book in her hand, she began to retrace her steps to the front of the shop. She blinked her eyes a few times, noticing that Feron was nowhere in sight."Eh? Where'd he go?" she murmured with her Ghost floating beside her."Bathroom?" Plato replied with absolutely no clue where the other hunter went. If it wasn't for the somewhat silent atmosphere of the shop, they probably wouldn't have been able to find him. Nadia began to walk towards the sound of a soft conversation which actually piqued her growing curiosity. She didn't recognize one of the voices. Female, obviously. Though she was able to recognize Feron's voice.  See, at first, she thought he was hitting on a girl here at the bookshop. That wasn't the case.

As she rounded the corner, she spotted him standing beside one of the clerks that was giving him book recommendations and handing him a few to look over. Oh. Poor thing. He was being so polite to the clerk by expressing some interest to what she was telling him. She was somewhat good with improvisations especially on the field. Looks like today's improv would be a rescue mission. With the book that she picked up underneath her arm, she walked over to Feron. She looped her other arm onto his free arm, before she had spoken."Oh, darling! I have been looking all over this bookstore for you!" she started to say with her gaze flicking over to the small stack that he had in his hands."I got the one that we would need for that weird project that old rambling Warlock was yapping about. This should suffice." she said, as she gently took the extra books he held, and set them back to their original spots. She looked over to the clerk with a soft smile, and then she had spoken."I do apologize. Hopefully, he hasn't caused too much trouble?" she said to the clerk."We are ready to check-out." she added as she took the book from underneath her arm, and tilted it to the side so that she could read the text along the spine of the book."The Art of War by Sun Tzu. He was a General of an army and was a brilliant military strategist as well as a philosopher during the Zhou Dynasty." she told the clerk to cover for Feron. Her arm was beginning to loosen around his, as she kept the wide smile in hopes that the clerk totally believed in this story so that Feron would be able to weasel out of the situation. Some of it was true, and some of it....meh. Not really. She'd probably lend it to a Warlock after she was done reading the book. Leave it in the little library that the Warlocks shared, and regularly borrowed books from to conduct studies and compare notes.

Well. That was settled. She had her trust and faith in the Warlock that she would arrive at the hangar in time. April had her back leaned against the side of a dropship with her gaze staring out to the two large metal doors that lead out to the world beyond this place. It was kept shut for a multitude of reasons. The basic reasons were for security purposes so that all ships can be accounted for and that no one would be able to leave the vicinity with a ship without clearance. Unless, they wanted to take the giant risk of trying to blow a hole in the doors that could take one hell of a beating leaving themselves exposed for oncoming fire. Then, by all means. Let them have this tiny strand of hope that they could possibly escape. She moved her gaze from off the reinforced doors, and then fixed her attention onto a familiar Titan that was approaching her."If you came here to blow me off from this mission, you can turn back around and march straight back to where you just came from. " April was beginning to say as she pushed herself from the ship that she had been leaning against. Rourke simply shook his head, and she bet if he had his helmet off, she would have seen an eye roll."I'm not. Someone's got to pilot the ship." he muttered, as he slowed down to a halt. He kept his distance away from her, since the two didn't quite get along when it came down to certain subjects like tactics."Your intel is good? Or, are we traveling all the way to this Last City based on a rumor? We are risking a lot just by stepping foot into the city." Rourke questioned with a very scarce amount of trust in his voice. April shot him a glare with her arms crossing over  her chest."Great risk comes with great reward. If it is true, then we have something that would redeem the losses." April muttered, before she headed onboard the ship.Rourke shook his head slightly, and a few seconds later, he caught a glimpse of Aurora from off the distance. He waved his hand a little to capture her attention before he dropped his hand to the side.

"Laments of a Guardian" i chuckled to my self. Fixing the compression coils into place. Once that was done i began to look for the weering noise, finding a fracture in the joint casing. I made short work of that and ran a quick diagnostic test.
"Alright its done, need any maintenance done you know where to find me. Oh send your friends payment goes by a case by case basis." I hooked the arm into place and instructed her to do a few basic movement

"Yeah, it's complicated..." She sighed. "Contrary to popular belief the past can be... Bent. The future can be prevented. The present can be improved upon, or harmed in the case of your enemies." Ileanahad once spent an unknown amount of time tumbling through gate after gate frantically trying to fix something that had gone wrong. She had failed more times than she remembered. Without a near-perfect and impermeable plan going back or forward was dangerous. If you didn't want change things, that is. Time was complicated and crazy. She didn't dabble in it often anymore. The waitress returned with plates stacked on her arms and sat them in front of the guardians, asking if they needed anything else with their food.

She shied away from Data when he approached. Before she'd gone through the vex gate she'd hated being touched. Now she despised it. When he put the arm back on she rotated it, relieved. The fingers opened and closed on command, twisting into positions needed to hold knives, grip things, you name it. "Perfect," she nodded to Data-5. "I'll definitly send anyone I know your way. I can promise you that I'll be back for some upgrades. Maybe we can add some weapon slots?" She picked up the shirt and pulled it on adjusting the gloved sleeve over the mechanical arm so that it would look more natural. She wanted to avoid people knowing about the fake arm. "So, whenever you need a particular salvage send a transmission to my ghost. I'll go dig up what I can and bring it back. Don't worry about sending me after anything too huge. I'm hard to kill," she winked, wiggling her exo fingers.

Her brow raised now, bent? Altered? Prevented? No, no, none of your concern Carmela, let the past be the past and focus on the now. She shook her head to clear it, trying to formulate a response to keep the conversation flowing, but time seemed short. Her eyes lifted up to the Waitress as the plates were set down, and she let a smile cross her features, almost thankful for the interruption. Quietly she would thank the woman, shaking her head in regards to if she required anything else as she snatched a french fry from her plate and popped it into her mouth. Oh how she loved greasy foods, especially french fries.

Feron | Human Male | Nightstalker Hunter | Tagged: Nadia/Any | Location: Earth -> The Last City

His patience never seemed to fade as the clerk continued on with her spiel on the different books, and all he could really do, was smile and nod, and let her stack the books atop one another in his arm. Feron had been so focused on trying to not hurt the clerk's feelings that he nearly jumped out of his skin as an arm snaked through his free one. After regaining the balance of the books, his hazel gaze darted down to find Nadia standing at his side. A near sigh of relief left him as he realized she had come to his aid, a smile stretching across his features. "Hello hunny." He would respond, a slight fluctuation in his tone upon the last word leaving his lips. "Sorry about that dear, this kind young lady was telling me about her favorite books to pass the time." He would send the Clerk a harmless smile as Nadia began to replace the much unneeded books on the shelves.

The woman was shocked at the sudden intrusion of the other Guardian, but she easily covered her surprise with a smile, and a gentle shake of her head. "No trouble at all, quite the gentleman you have." She would say, eyeing the pair carefully as the other woman set the books back on the shelves. "Anyways, of course! Let's get you checked out and on your way to this.. babbling Warlock." The clerk would chuckle, eyes turning to Feron as he produced a slim almost translucent card for the payment. The only thing that set it aside as an actual credit chit was the silvery line that ran along the bottom containing all the information needed to run the card and remove funds from his account. She delicately plucked said card from between his fingers, and ran it through her tablet, completing their purchase within moments. "Ah, there you are, come back soon yes?" She would say sweetly, passing the chit back to Feron, along with a receipt.

The second he retrieved the card and receipt, he was eager to usher both Nadia and himself from the store. Very kindly, he would slide his arm from hers, only to pull the door open for her to exit. Oh, my. Upon stepping outside he sighed loudly, obviously a bit frazzled from his encounter. "Remind me to never look uninterested in a book store again." He snorted lightly, his gaze shifting to where she stood. "Thanks for saving me, hunny. I thought I was a goner for sure." He smirked with a wink, for such a short amount of time, she sure did come up with an elaborate plan of action to get them out of there.

[XxBarricadeXx]

Aurora looked around once she was at the hanger. She noticed the two figures. Instantly, she knew who the Titan was, and the other figure had to be the girl who told her to meet her here. She slightly yawned, but soon enough, she was awake. It just took her a bit.

She watched the figure head on the ship. When she saw Rourke wave to her, she quickly hurried. She slowed down to a halt as she made her way to him. " Hey. " She said. She gave him a friendly smile before she looked at the ship. This must be the ship they were taken to the last city. Aurora then looked over at the Titan in front of her.
