Yelis shrugged. "I wouldn't really know." He waggled his fingers dramatically. "Magic's a lot easier and cheaper, so I usually just go with that. Lazy, sure, but it works for me. Last time I did anything in a lab was back in high school chemistry."
"It's nice to know you're getting along with them alright." Silver said.
She smiled at Skjor as he came in.
"I heard it all. You guys rocked. I knew that I made the right choice in recruiting you guys."
She looked to the Moment. "If you insist on that 'demonstration' of yours, you're going to have to do it with Skjor here."
Yelis shrugged. "I wouldn't really know." He waggled his fingers dramatically. "Magic's a lot easier and cheaper, so I usually just go with that. Lazy, sure, but it works for me. Last time I did anything in a lab was back in high school chemistry."
Pheh, is easy. Anyone can learn. I could show you, even. It would take the ehh, effort of course. You may break nail.
Ammon gets of the bus heading into the building with his companions,

Moment turns to Skjor, then back to Silver "No"
No vhat? Devic arrives in the room, missing the entire rest of that conversation, possibly for the best.
she appears to be back to her non-mutagenated self again.
Mission accomplished, turned out to be some bugbears and some type of Shifters. I should address something while we all are here, but that can wait until after i at least wash up a bit. Blackish Blood matted to his hair and cuts covering him. While he walks into the room
Do you happen to have a wash room i could use? Politely smiling toward Silver.
Pheh, is easy. Anyone can learn. I could show you, even. It would take the ehh, effort of course. You may break nail.
"Effort. Effort and I tend not to get along well. I'm happy to watch, though. Grace you with my charming presence," he said, flashing a grin.
Silver turned to Devic. "The Moment was just offering a demonstration of one of his superpowers and now he's a little camera shy."
She pointed to the hall. "Wash room's out the hall, fifth door on the right."
Ammon lays his blade against the wall, won't be too long Ammon turns down the hall, entering the washroom. quickly washing the blood, watching the black ichor run down the drain.
He takes his time removing the layers of full plate and chain. his tail assisting, manipulating some of the buckles for him.

Devic looks visibly displeased with Yelis.
Anyvay. She moves her attention. I'm interested in this ehh, showing. Moment! Can you show us your big super feature? She asks enthusiastically.

"You're not in the know Dev...yet, you'll be in the know one day, but not today...ya know?" Moment seems momentarily confused by his own words before sending a lighthearted glare at Ms.Silver.

Yelis sighed, holding up his hands. "Fine, it's true. It is to my great shame that I must admit that I am not at all charming. The only enchantments I know are minor compulsions. But in all honesty, I have caused enough fires cooking that explosive chemistry would be a short career for me."
He smiled a little more slyly at Moment. "Oh, that's all right. I'm sure that when you do decide to show us, it will be… momentous."
Silver gives a coy smile to the Moment. It was obvious that she was holding in laughter.
"Moving on." She said. "You guys were brilliant. Dinner will be finished preparing shortly, and there we will discuss your next adventure. Until then, any questions of insofar?"
Ammon returns after a few minutes a separate pack carrying several plates of armor. Wearing an simple, heavy, cotton shirt and black shirt and pants they look worn and rough.
Ammon yawns as he reenters the room, Dinner sounds nice. We should all try to get to know each other better, Back at academy we did it to foster better teamwork.
He sits on the floor crisscross near his blade, he pulls out a cloth and works on cleaning his blade and armor.

The word dinner reverbs through Moments mind, signaling that he has forgotten something important. His eyes momentarily widen, HIS BROTHER IS HOME ALONE RIGHT NOW!!.
He'll talk to silver about it when they where done for the day...
to the Moment. It was obvious that she was holding in laughter.
"Moving on." She said. "You guys were brilliant. Dinner will be finished preparing shortly, and there we will discuss your next adventure. Until then, any questions of insofar?"
Yes, have many. Who will be assisting with moving our ehh, stuff? I vould prefer keeping my eyeballs on them due to the expensive and volatile nature of some of the equipment.
Where are we going to be? Devic adds.
"Are you okay, Moment? you look like you just saw a ghost."
"Your living quarters will beon the next floor up. There's a large room for each of you up there, and then some."
"Good idea, Ammon. You're still quite new to each other, and now that you've gotten the experience of fighting alongside each other, conversation should come easier."
Like i said it's a thing i was taught by the knighthood, it's dangerous for a team to go out in the field unless they know each other. Or something like that anyway. That said if any of you have questions i'm an open book, that said some of us have secrets and such that we don't need to fully disclose but we should at least give a small idea of each background. Ammon's vocabulary changes rather suddenly, compared to how he was earlier.
"Ooh!" Yelis said excitedly, slipping back into his more comfortable natural form. "Waya, c'mon! Anybody else going to check out the rooms?" he called back, already hurrying towards the stairs.
Yea, i should go put my armor and stuff away anyway, no need to carry it around with me. following after the two.
Why not? Devic shrugs, ceasing to look around the room.
It can be like sleep-over for first night. Movers probably work day time anyvay. Ms. Silver, ehhhhhh, bye! She waves, and begins to follow the Kitsune at a relaxed pace.
Seeing that everyone besides himself, Skjor, and Silver; Moment turns to Silver and (by proxy) Skjor and sighs "so Silver...I have a request, I have a brother who I am the caretaker for...and if I'm going to be doing this around the clock, we need some way to keep him cared for as it's me who does that. If not it will severely diminish the amount of time I can be available". he then turns to Skjor and adds "I trust that little tidbit stays between us...?"
"I guess I can look at some. Not like I'd use it often anyway." Ramiel says quietly as he follows the others. Some place to stay on the really hot days would be nice.

"Family is important, my masked friend," Skjor said, his voice deep with emotion as images of his much-beloved mother flitted through his head. "Indeed, I still send much of my money to my mother, so she can live a better life than she had. I shall not betray your confidence in this." With his piece said, Skjor said his farewells and left to catch up with the others.
"You make a good point, Ammon. You need to form a rapport of you're going to work perfectly as a team. Today just saw to growing that bond, and dinner will cement it."
She whispered back to the Moment's ear. "How old? I could hire a babysitter for him, or he could even stay here, if you could find an explanation for it."
Upstairs, the rooms, are all wide, blank spaces, the only thing in these bare rooms are, a list they all have in common, are one queen-sized bed, one large desk, an empty bookshelf, a wide window, and a 5x5 closet. The rest was left empty for the personalization of the owner.
He perks up at the Mentioning of him staying here, he looks positively stunned "you...you would do that?"

Devic inspects her room.
Khorosho! Eto budet delat' krasivo. Notes to self: How much bed to they think I need? Also, that window needs to be boarded up, or replaced with a smaller one. Windows are a structural weakness.
Without much else to do right now, she heads back downstairs.
"Of course I would. You all earned a few favors in my book." She remembers something. "Speaking of earnings, 500 credits have been added to your chips."
"...thanks Silver...though now I have to think of an excuse about why there's a kid with us" Moment says, grateful to his new boss and turning to leave "I'll go get him, brb"
Ammon lays his armor and sword in the corner of his room, props his book on the shelf, and puts away his other gear I'll have to get more books for this shelf. He says to himself.
Ammon returns down stairs satisfied with is quarters. Without his armor and stuff, Ammon appears a bit more lean, his hands and wrists uncovered showing red scales instead of the usual pale color.
Kay, everything's all set then
Devic's thoughts turn to the door she had seen.
Ms. Silver? Mne nuzhno koye-chto znat'. She seems a bit more tense than before.

Skjor didn't really have anything to grab, what little he didn't have on him could be sent for from the hotel he originally checked into. Instead, he devoted himself to finding a good room to stay in for as long as he was employed by the mysterious Lady Silver.
After finding a good room and placing all but Aegis within, for he would never be without her, he wandered back to the room Silver was in. "My room is a good one," he said with a nod. "You have my thanks for the accomodations."
"Da, chto eto?"
"Good, dinner will be ready in about five minutes." She said to Ammon.
"Glad to know lou like it, Skjor."
Hmm, day 1 of Rumspringa and i almost die. What a crazy world, way different than back home. So where are you guy's from? Ammon sits down sighing but still smiling.
Devic takes a deep breath. B-budete li vy skazat' mne, kak vy uznali obo mne? My prilozhili mnogo usiliy, chtoby ostavat'sya nezametnym i ot radara.

"Ne volnuytes', Devich. Vy deystvitel'no byli ochen' trudno nayti. Boleye chem kto-libo zdes'. Vasha gruppa yavlyayetsya bezopasnym." She said, patting Devic on the shoulder.
Ya polagayu, chto pridetsya delat' seychas. Spasibo. She let out a small sigh.
You already know I am ehh, from Russia, yes? Devic answers Ammon.
your speaking your native tongue then I assume? but yea you mention earlier right? I've been trying to figure out what you were saying ot no avail. I'm from Lancaster county in England, myself
Correct. I ehh, apologize in advance for difficulties with my english. Is difficult for me to ehh, keep track of 6 languages. Have heard from my brother that England is nice. For nature anyvay.
Yelis shrugged. "Don't worry about it- your English is fine. You understand us, we understand you, and anything beyond that is icing on the cake," he said, pulling up a seat for dinner. "And it's certainly better than my Russian. I know… krolik. And the stuff in movies, like da svidaniya."
Devic looks down to the softly clicking gears under the floor, she takes a seat as well. Mm. Is nice of you to say. Where are you from zhulik?
"West coast. Oregon specifically," he answered. "But, eh, that was a long time ago. I like New York- big cities in general, really. They're comfortable."
This is my first time in the big city, it's completely different
Cities can be hard. To navigate I mean. Both streets, and people. Some will try to take advantage. Ehh, let me see something.
Devic pulls out her phone and starts typing.
