Jaik looks at Chris take command. As an assassin, he's pretty good at telling when people are lying, so he can see Chris is trying his best to put up an impressive, confident demeanor.
Good. Many of these people need orders, and someone to take command. It might as well be someone I trust...
(1,500 words is not pathetic. I can certainly work off of this! Thanks, Neow!)
Jaik looks at the drones flying high and doing his work for him.
"... Well, uh... That takes THAT job off the list."
He looks over a Marauder's shoulder at the unfinished map and quickly tries to memorize it...
(I just like how the recon team is the only team to have posted thus far)
"Nice to meet you, Marcus and Ged! Yeah, I'm Jaik. Good ears and eyesight always helps. And don't worry, Marcus, I used to be, and still am, quite a good assassin. Tortured don't make anatomical sense. Their...
(K, please notify me when you make a map, because I can't figure out the layout of the scenery for the life of me.)
Jaik looks over his three companions, and finds himself familiar with precisely zero of them. He may have seen Misfortune in the same room as him a couple of times, but neither...
Jaik lets Chris and (Delphi?) talk for a little while before cutting in.
"Yeah, it was a few months on my end. Enough time to come back, create a zombie apocalypse, survive and figure out a way to get back, and blow the whole thing sky high. I was relieved when I wasn't gone that long here on...
Role call. Totes magoats here. Almost wouldn't be, if we had waited another week, because I almost took Among Gods off my Bookmarks and unsubscribed to the email alerts!
"Huh. I know the drive only took a few hours, but I feel like it's been months."
"Same. I feel really energized...
Jaik raises his hand.
"Yeah, uh, I'm not really one for tactics, so just send me in one of those attack groups, or if you need someone to sneak around and find information. But I'm pretty sure an attack group will be fine, preferably under Mei, since I know she's a good leader and probably...
(@arcaneSentinel Don't worry about it. We all strive to improve in some way in this RP!)
Jaik ponders the unexpected question of his companion for a moment, and then responds.
"There are two answers to that question. The easy one is that I didn't know you had the situation handled, that you...
Jaik, after an extremely awkward silence, decides to stop talking to the obviously mute newcomer and instead focus his efforts on getting to the top of the tower.
He reminisces for a moment on the crazy adventures that he, Koya, and Mei had back before his plane exploded. Like getting all of...
... Unless, of course, my conversation partner never talks back. xD
Also, it was my birthday on Thursday. Just got done with the party. Figured you guys'd want to know!
@Neow46 You fine bruh. I'd go with it totally, except except I have a feeling that it'd be better for Jaik to arrive at the Tower for the next post so it can be planned and fleshed out more than to randomly appear up there right now with no introductions or idea of exactly when I come in. So...
(WOAH WOAH WOAH @Bonzo for writing the update. Character conversation with Byron first!!!!! "Wind your way up to the top floor". What a bunch of BS.)
Jaik turns to the boy whose ass he just stuck out for.
"... So... how, uh... how'd you end up in that situation?"
(@arcaneSentinel @Bonzo)
All of Jaik's preparatory thoughts go out the window when Koya starts talking.
It's his modifier.
His. Fucking. Modifier.
How the hell did they get Koya's modifier?!
The assassin strides into the room, taking notice of Byron, the three marauders and a certain...
Jaik, intrigued by the possibility of inner-camp warfare, smiles grimly to himself.
This was more like his time in the backstabbing assassin guild.
Thank fuck.
He draws his kukris, reminds himself to find himself/get a wizard to craft another one, perhaps better tailored to fighting, so in...
(Sorry, I was in Spain!)
Jaik decides that finding other people is good.
He comes to the conclusion that, while other people might be on this floor, everyone will eventually go to obtain sustenance.
Thus, he goes to the food tent and looks for someone he's seen around camp, but maybe...
(@Space Face)
Jaik stops moving, and turns around to answer the question. His dark cloak billows behind him as he does so, revealing multiple tears and slices only earned through battle. He unconsciously fingers his kukris at his sides.
"I've been here for two days, but I've been HERE..."...
(@Space Face LET'S DO IT!!! :D )
"Sure! I would love to give our newcomer a tour."
He turns inquisitively to Galmiz, and head-nods behind him, motioning for the pair to start going.
"Any initial questions before I show you around?"
(Sorry, got really sick yesterday. Still sick, but realized that DAMNIT, @MysticPisces AND @Rand WANT AN UPDATE. MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D )
The wizard looks up weakly at the bard.
"... Better idea. I take a nap, you either go on and kill me a dragon, or go back and take me with you. It should...
(@Space Face What do you look like? I saw hooved feet and a tail. But when I search "balkian" I get:
)
"Galmiz! Nice to become your amicable acquaintance."
As Jaik thinks about possible problems (troubleshooting) that this could create, the biggest one suddenly hits him.
"So... have you...
