Adventure 1 - New Recruits

[Shewolf]

Ana exited the room, making sure not to get in Guy's way.  I don't know what the picture on Nérine's passport looks like...but I do know it has to match one's current appearance.  I do hope that won't be any sort of problem.  She frowned, hoping not to stifle this girl's gifts.  With one last, longing look at the pot of coffee on the table, she asked There will be a car taking us to the airport, yes?

@Irthos

It means you roll again! yay

[Generic_PC]

Guy taps himself out of the room, his cane tapping steadily. "What's this? Why wouldn't it look like her?" *tap* "She's Hydro Girl, not 'I can change" *tap* "my face' girl. Or did she just show" *tap* "off her powers? Hmm. Anyway, I'd assume so" *tap* "Anacoana. It's too far to walk, certainly." He turns, then smiles sheepishly. "Have I passed the stairs? I can't remember how far they were."

[AfterCrescent]

Xel closes his eyes for a moment at Ana's question.  After a few seconds he starts to nod just as Buzz ascends the stairs.  He pauses, seeing Ana and Guy in the hallway, before speaking. The cab is here to take you to their airport, He announces.  Turning to Guy, he continues, Would you like some help down the stairs?

[Vinom]

"Preferable one car, not 5" He mutters... trying to get certain thoughts out of his mind... get the image of the bald man with electric burn marks, or Anacoana and.... He shook his head, popped his head, and adjusted the straps on his pack. In his mind, he begins to run through the elements in order of atomic number. Following behind Guy, and guilding him to turn when he reaches the stairs, acsedentally giving him a static shock... "Sorry..." He mutters

[skydragonknight]

"I can change the reflection of my surface to look however I wish." Nérine explained briefly, though her explanation probably brought more questions than it answered.

Edit: She makes her way to the car with everyone else.

[Shewolf]

Oh yes, Guy, she's now the picture of an Irish lass, though she wasn't a moment ago.  She gently took the elbow of the arm that was not occupied with the cane.  Moving in a little closer to his ear, she whispered I feel a little guilty, as Xipe-Totec is the one who brings blindness... and led him down the second flight of stairs, nodding to Kevin when she saw him take Guy to the stairs.  She bit her lip and looked away, feeling silly, though Guy obviously could not see her expression.  She silently reminded herself to make everyone a special charm to bring them luck on this mission, she had a few ideas about which gods were watching over whom, though she had her doubts about who watched over the major...A thought which caused her a quickly stifled snort of laughter.

[Vinom]

Kevin stayed behind Anacoana... not because she was she was a person from another culture who would have much to offer in the way of his expansion of knowlegde.... no, the young lad had other reasons...

[Generic_PC]

Apparently I have like 6 people helping me find the stairs. I only needed one person.

"Ah, of course. At least Nerine is a nice name." He smiles, as Buzz asks to help him down and Kevin pushes him to the stairs, and Anacoana grabs his arm. "I know you all want to help the cripple, but I do know how to handle stairs. I've only been doing them some 22 years. I just needed to know where they were." Despite his complaints, he allows himself to be directed to the stairs, and walked down them as well. "And I heard something about a Cab?"

[Shewolf]

Ana sniffed indignantly...To have her help rejected was completely unheard of.  She pouted slightly, but regained her composure quickly.  Yes, the car is here, actually.  Last one in is a... she paused in mid stride, her excited lope to the car halted momentarily.  She had no idea how to finish the phrase.  There were some Tenochca expressions that may have worked, but they didn't translate well, and she hadn't quite gotten the hang of certain human turns of phrase.

[Vinom]

Kevin walk behind the lovely women in next to nothing... He hoped this trip would be long and breezy...

[Generic_PC]

"I heard that little sniff, Anacoana. I'm surprised you care about me so much that you're offended when I try to avoid relying on people." Guy gives a reassuring smile somewhere in the opposite direction of Ana, and then continues. "Well, let's go then. Buzz, thanks again for waking up so early and making the coffee, and playing every ounce the good host. Is the front door open, or will I be walking into it?"

[skydragonknight]

"Rotten egg." Nérine said, finishing the Tenochcan's sentence and hopping into the back seat.

[Shewolf]

Oh.  How unpleasant.  I would like very little to be a rotten egg.  Ana blinked, taking a seat in the car.  I suppose this trip will give me plenty of opportunity to learn about you people!  She grinned with genuine excitement, and said the phrase 'you people' with no malice.  To her, humans were indeed a lesser race, but a fascinating and amusing one.  Though she would admit, these particular people were already growing on her...That or lack of sleep was making her feel silly.  She checked the state of her Tenochca rifle one more time and then closed her eyes and leaned back in the seat, hoping to catch a catnap.

[Vinom]

Kevin sits next to Ana... "I hope you won't mind us inquiring about your people..." He says calmly, he tries hard to not have his eyes roam....

[Generic_PC]

"Yes, yes it will. And vice versa, I'm sure. I doubt Anacoana will mind much, as forthcoming as she's been." Guy slides into the front seat, turning to the driver. "We're going to the airport. Our last member will be paying." Guy then settles back in the seat and waits for the other doors to close.

Obviously this is a rare 6-seater car.

[AfterCrescent]

I've opened the door for you, Buzz announces as he holds the door open for Guy and the others to leave the home.

As the group walks out of the house and down the few steps onto the path to the sidewalk, they see, or hear, the taxi van idling at the sidewalk.  After piling into the cab, the cabbie announces, La Guardia Airport, and puts the van into drive, slowly pulling away from the curb, heading towards the airport.

[Irthos Levethix]

Technically, you left me behind.

[AfterCrescent]

Did not. I said group. You're in the van. Now quit whining, team leader.

[skydragonknight]

Nérine looks to the army man who got stuck sitting next to her. "Mr. Davis, since you're my guardian for this mission, can I call you 'Dad'?"
She smiles innocently, not having had a father since she was 5 years old.

[Vinom]

"That would odd, which would make me the brother... would that make Anacoana the mother?"
