As Saix was done introducing himself, all of a sudden a man gets thrown in across the room.
Saix instantly jumps to grab his sword,but doesnt unholster it yet.
Then a man comes in after the thrown man with a giant gun.
Saix sees that as a threat and lets go of his sword....for now.
The man with the white apron was introduced to them as Bishop
"So you are the man behind this party, i gues there is no need for us to introduce ourselves to you is their..."
At the same second Saix was talking he is trying out his hidden blade in his left hand hidden bellow the table...just in case.

Bishop looked around at the hunters and smiled. "No questons....dang you could cut the tension in this room with a knife." Upon saying this Chop started laughing hard and slapping his leg. Bishop the pointed at him. "Heh bud, could you grab the computer?" Chop nodded and headed out the room. Looking over the cybernetic arm Dark had retrieve he moved it and placed it on the ground. "Most of you are here because you are entering the world of Oz. Some of you need a heart, some need curouge and some need brains." He then raised his hands. "Not to say anything bad but these traits are common among those who choose this profession." When Chop returned he pulled up a file. On the screen popped up their pictures and a colored pattern showed next to them which was identical to eachother. "I needed a team, all of you have the same karmatron frequency as me and Chop. As you know Karmatrons are the smallest units of matter and energy which helps identify an individual. As we are all compatable eit indicates that we are all very likely to be on the same wavelength over time and work perfectly as a unit." He then sighed. "As you have probably guessed, all of the perks that come with this co-opperation comes at a price." He then pulled up an image.  This as you all probably know is Dr. Desty Nova. As of today he has a bounty of just over five million chips and it grows with every hunter who dies trying to catch him." He then pointed at his eye covered by a handkershief. "He was the one who did this. I was lucky to get out alive." He then pointed to the mark on his head. "This mark means he came from the city in the sky. It is said that he is the only one to ever fall from Tiphares with his memories still intact. I wish to train you until you are ready for us all to take on that mission." He then closed the computer. "In the meantime I will use my experience to train you and use my contacts to get info on bounties unknown to the project. All the money you earn will be your own. Neither I nor Chop will benifit from your success. We both earn a living from our jobs and the money we earned during our career." He then watched as a few hunters entered the bar. "I only ask that once you reached level ten that you join me on my quest to get to Nova. The thing is Nova fights differently then most targets. He's a super genious. When I went there he managed to get some of the hunters to kill eachother simply by looking into a light fixture. That's why you need this experience which will also develope your mind and soul." He then looked at them. Can I count on you? Once your in your in for the long haul." He then looked at Saix and shook his head. "and please don't point that at me." He then looked up at Dark who was standing over him. Seeing the scene Chop started giggling |

Saix hides his hidden blade since apparantly it was becoming predictable...Even if it was hidden bellow the table...
Then he answers to the mission.
"Hmm so all we need to do is kill this old geezer who is supposingly a super genius?? Hah i killed manny of the fools who kept saying they are a genius"
Saix said with a grin on his face. Then gets off his chair and gets close to Bishop.
"But this seems like a fun party and i'm in. Except i only have one question...Whats the pay???"

Dark was moving rather closer to the group when Marcus had brought up the picture of Nova. Though it wasn't for that but more for the one who was brandishing his weapon under the table. She didn't take to kindly to those who tried to hid their weapons. To her it was more of a show of how cowardly they were than how strong and brave they were. She stood behind this man that called himself Saix. Though her eyes and ears open to what Marcus was saying about the man. She had at one time asked him about his eye, and had found out a few other things behind him as well. She didn't know Marcus like Chop did, but still she knew a good amount about him to know that this man was important to him. As Marcus finished her eyes had been more focused on Saix then. She didn't speak to him or even need to. Marcus had said all that needed to be said.
She watched Siax closely as he moved toward Marcus. "Killing this man will not be as easy as you think," she finally spoke up. She looked at him before looking at the others. "I've been with Marcus long enough to know that he is better . . . better than any of you fools. To think that you can just go out there and kill this man without the experience or the training needed for it. Go ahead . . . I welcome your suicidal mission, but I will not go. I'll stand back to assist in digging up your graves." She tilted her head slightly as she looked at Siax.

After spotting Saix's blade with the x-ray augmentation on his eye he turned it back to normal. "The pay is whatever the bounty is divided by the number that go on the mission." He then pointed down at the arm. "Plus the income you earn by 'coming across' items of value and any cache of chips lying around as you deal out justice. Currently the bounty I'm lining up for you will get you 4,000 chips a piece. Remember, now that your a team you can go after the big fish."

Clarissa hadn't said word as of yet. She sat across from Bishop with her back pressed firmly against the seat, one leg bouncing over the other and her arms folded. She wasn't paying much attention to what was being bickered about among them. What she was more concerned about was this Nova guy.
A mad genius who uses some weird light fixture to turn hunters against one another...
She took a look at her partners and snickered a little.
Not that we need a light fixture to force us to kill eachother...these guys already look malicious and back-stabbing. Conniving even.
"I'm usually more worried about the pay. But what I care more about is how you expect all these people here to work together? No one seems very trustworthy. Er no offense," she scoffed.
Grinning a little she fixed her attention onto the group of hunters, placing a stretched out arm, leisurely over the table.
"I don't give a damn how professional you claim to be. s*** doesn't work out if you don't like eachother. And that's that."

Saix then sits back again taking a sip of his drink.
He hears that one of the hunters think that she doesnt find the others trustworthy.
"I gues we can all agree on not trusting each other ha...
Thats a good start in this crazy partnership. You dont need to worry about me backstabing, last thing on my mind that i plan to do is that...Just...Dont you start having funny ideas"
Saix breaks the glass with his left hand while holding it.
"...oops sorry my bad."

Bishop leaned back and sighed. "I have faith, hope. It is I that rely on you. Without you I cannot realize my goal in life. You all grew up here and have the proper survival insticts needed to survive. Serve me and only myself, trust no-one unless they can get you something you want. But Karmatrons are funny things. The energy and matter that flows through each one of you. The rythm we are tuned to is one in the same. Giving time you will all soon find those around you not only to be comrads but also be family." He then looked down. "And family, sometimes, can be the most important thing when trying to discover yourself. We here are alike on the deepest level, and I feel over time you'll realize this." As he watched the bar become full he stood up.
"The first step in becoming a team is to get drunk together. A good beer can bond people together by making them loosen up and drop thier guard." He then tossed each one of them a set of keys. "Here are your rooms. The deckmen usually come in to clean up round ten. Meet Dark in the bar tomarrow at noon to begin your training." With that said, Bishop went behind the bar to serve as the jukebox played and soon Chop walked up with two pitchers of beer

Saix looks at the key he recieves and puts in in his pocketbag.
He then gets beer offered.
"Oh i sorry but i will have to skip it for now. I have to go back home to tell the news to my sister. I will be back in while"
With that sayd, Saix grabs his sword holster and attaches it on his back, and leaves the bar.

The redhead shrugged and put her glass out to the deckmen. "Fill 'er up! I'll just give my dad a call later," with that she started downing glasses like there was no tomorrow. As unsettling as she was being, there might not be!
"Ah, Arch, don't you guys have food here too? And I don't mean pretzels and peanuts for Christ's sake."
It seemed a little weird to have to undergo training all over again. She was content with knowing what she knew from her father and Tangora...
She sighed and took another drink out of her glass. "Ah Tangora...Wonder where he is now.."

Dark twitched slightly as the thought of what just occurred entered her mind. "Great," she mumbled and walked to the bar. Someone had taken her seat, and as long as she had been here these drunks should have known better. Yet she didn't say anything. Normally she would have gripped the man by the shirt and throw him across the bar. Several words later from Marcus she was sitting pretty on her stool. Instead she just walked over to an empty table and sat down. Many things in her life had been bad, and many people had stabbed her in the back on numerous occasions. In truth every time she partnered up with someone she always came out feeling more alone than anything else. Though she could remember the first time she stepped foot into this bar. Marcus had been the closest thing she could find to someone reliable. He had helped her out when she didn't have money, and then even more with the reliable information he kept giving her on the man she was trying to hunt down. In the end she found herself maybe trusting only one person, and that was Marcus. If this would help him then weather she liked it or not she would work with them. Sighing a bit she rested her arms on the table as she sat up straight and closed her eyes. Letting her mind slip into a mediative state for the time being.

Once Gubble was done serving the beer he then spotted Dark sulking at a table in the corner. Waddling over he looked down at her empathetically. "Why you got to be so blue all the time? You know, I bet a smile from you could light up the whole room!" When Dark gave him a cold look he sunk. "Well, either way staying with the group is probably whats best. You stay here and you know some drunken idiot will try to pick you up again. Then theres the bar fight and then Bishop has to pay for the damages. Just think it over...okay?" With that said Chop walked behind the bar next to Chop who was serving.
"Was I this untrusting and ****y when I was starting off?" Chop chuckled handing him glasses.
"No, nothing like that." He said. He then grinned. "You were a bit of a whiner though." Bishop then shot him a look as Chop waved his hands in the air. "I have to behead him, yuck, this is soo gross. You call THIS a gun." He then started laughing hard again banging the counter. "Anyways, do you think that it's the wisest choice having them train under Dark?" He then looked at her over the counter.
"She's experienced and doesn't tollerate nonsence. No offense Chop but you kinda have a hard time leading people or giving orders. If they don't get intimidated by her they will get so frustrated they will want to show her up and work even harder. Anyways, your going to be their to supervize." Chop then looked at him.
"Why not you. This is your little experiment." He questioned.
"Garrisy is fighting at the dome tomarrow. Since I'm his personal repair and medical technicion I have to be their in case things go wrong. Don't worry, I think Darks starting to warm up to you." With that he continued serving the patrons.
As soon as Clarrisa requested food deckman 10 gave a salute. "YES MY BELOWOVED!" He said before zipping off into the kitchen. minutes later he returned with a plate of noodles. "Beef Wamen. The good stuff too."

Clarissa tiltedher head at the ramen on her plate before picking up a fork.Wrapping the noodles around the prongs, she pointed it at Archie. "Thanks. Ya know, you're very helpful. What on Earth did you do to become a convict?" she asked, sticking the fork in her mouth and chewing on the noodles.
She hadn't eaten that since she was a kid. It brought back some good ol memories. The taste was pretty good as well. Smiling she washed down her food with another glass of beer. "Well, here's to huntin' together," she said, raising the glass up.

NEXT MORNING Dark sat on the roof of the old bar like she had so many times before. Waking up before sun up and getting her morning meditation out of the way. She always found it helped her prepare for the day at had, and then her many meditations in between when she had her down time. It helped her keep alert, and even heightened her senses a bit. She stood up and stretched her arms. The sun was up, and it was time to see what was so special about this group. She climbed in threw her window gathering her weapons, and then making her way out into the hall. She went down the hall beating on all the doors. "TIME TO GET UP!!" she shouted as she headed for the stairs. "YOU DON'T WANT ME TO DRAG YOU OUT OF BED!!" she hollered up the stairs, before heading down to the bar. It was empty with the exception of a few regulars to passed out to go anywhere. She walked up to her usual seat and sat down, resting her arms on the table as she closed her eyes and listened for the others to make their way down. |

Saix enters the bar with a huge bag in his one hand and in the other a guitar bag.
He notices that little dark girl sitting, so he sits next to her and lowers his bags next to him.
"So when does this amazing training start? And where are the others?Did they get too much drunk last night?"
Saix says to dark with a little smile on his face, then he waves his hand to the Deckman.
"Hey scrap, drink over here"
