The Mark V Open RP
As you travel and adventure the end of most days finds you relaxing and eating together in the Mark V. This is the place where you share your tales and enjoy those bonding moments with each other.
(H.C. I would love it if you edited in some of your images of the Mark V once you changed it to legion colors to this post.)
This is an Open RP area, no die rolls here. Just RP as you interact with each other and occasionally a stranger. This post is designed to allow you to get your post counts in when the game slows for combat or waiting for other players to post.

Rob starts to open up while sitting around in the APC, during some otherwise boring downtime.
"That last mission that Arthur and I were on was a real doozy. That's the second largest group of robots that I've ever had to face." He pauses for a moment, staring off into the distance, becoming lost in thought.
"We managed to take them all out though. Not even a single casualty either."

Arthur sets his backpack on the ground next to Rob and sits on it. "Yeah that was something alright." "So, How long have all of you been working with the Legion?"

L.C. shrugs. "About a year now. Was a merc for a while, but I like the Legion's mission better. Before that I was part of the C.S., but I didn't like their plan for the civilians of Tolkeen. So I left. They didn't take it well."

Re: The Mark V Open RP
L.C. nods. "Born and raised. And before you get your panties in a bunch, don't worry about my loyalty. Sad thing most people don't realize is the average soldier and citizen for the Coalition lives in conditioned fear of everything outside the Coalition. Of course it's hard to hate D-bees in general if you're psychic or a psi-stalker. 'OOh they are different than you' still hits home if you're anything but baseline human. Of course then there are the asshats who think any action is justified against the Coalition because of government policies and the super-assholes willing to follow them. Which only proves how dangerous magic and the alien are to the Coalition and provoke yet another round of expansion. Average guy just wants to provide a home for himself and his family, live to see another day, and not be eaten by a demon or monster. You know, the same thing everyone wants."
He pauses a moment then continues. "They just get fed a steady diet of propaganda and lies by the media and the leadership, and never know about things like setting up portable nukes in the school that happens to be next to a pyramid in Downtown Tolkeen - only as a fall-back position, nor executing a round of terror attacks on neighborhoods on the way there." He breathes deeply a moment before continuing.

Arthur listens with calm blue eyes. "Believe it or not, you're the first coalition soldier I've ever met." He smirks. "I come from a small farming community and we were lucky, in a sense. Other than the occasional rift nearby, we didn't have much in the way of trouble."

Re: The Mark V Open RP
Sir William props his laser rifle against the side of the APC and sighs. He misses his old comrades, and wonders if Erin has recovered from the battle where she nearly died. His thoughts drift to his training at the secret sanctum of the Cyber Knights far to the west. All Cyber Knights have, at some point in their lives, a dream that points them in the direction of their life’s work, and Sir William’s dream led him here. In his dream, he fought shoulder to shoulder with the greatest warriors the order had ever produced against a demonic horde, valiantly defending a castle in the mountains. When he arrived at Castle Refuge, he knew at once that it was the castle from his dream. But he did not know from whence the demon horde might come. He looks around at his comrades setting up camp. These are good people and good fighters, and they will be needed. “I must keep them safe and hone my own skills, because one day, that horde will come, and I must be ready,” he thinks. At the same time, he knows that some of these dreams are allegory, not prophecy. Is that demonic horde a symbol for something else entirely? And if so… is he preparing for the right war?

Leethe comes into the common area and gets out her vibro glaive. She doesn't notice the other right away. She looks it over carefully, fully inspecting it. "It is just not the same..." She blinks for a second then looks a bit puzzled. "But what is it not the same as?" She asks.
She recalls her nightmare and touches her sternum, expecting something to be there but there is only a scar. Talking to herself, "It is not there. Is that a good thing... or bad? The ones that were chasing me seemed familiar as well, but I do not know who they were. was that me who was being chased? I do not remember... I do not..." She thinks on that for a moment, "The silver tear, whatever that thing was, converted them into some type of machine version of themselves. I hope it did not make its way here."
She is lost in thought for a minute before she looks up and notices the other people in the area and sets her glaive to the side. “Hello there. Just thinking on some things. How are you guys doing?”

Taking a ration bar from the store, Hardin plops down in one of the Mark V's seats and starts eating, a bit messily.
Ignoring a mildly disapproving look from LC, he turns to the new arrivals and, around a mouthful of processed protein and artificially flavored oats, he says, "So, yer a couple of robot killers, huh? We haven't seen much in the way of robot vehicles here in the 99, thankfully, but we ran into a buncha SAMASes a ways back," he gestures vaguely behind him, "which got a little ugly. CS maniacs, beggin' yer pardon, Sargento, fixed to murder a load of civilians we was haulin.' Everybody got out alive, but not all in one piece, them bastards."
With a snort and a forced laugh, "Not Brison, though; he's the stray we picked up after that fight, took a likin' to LC here. I'm sure he wasn't one o the ones pickin' a fight and blowing up our charges, and we take all kinds, right?" Hardin's dislike for Brison is not subtle.
"But anyway, how about y'all? Why'd you sign up with the Legion?"

Re: The Mark V Open RP
The dark elf had stripped down to her basic undersuit she wore with the armor. As much as she loves the feel of magical over protecting her body, it is cumbersome to wear for long periods of time. She thought about eating, but after watching Hardin eat, she would give it a pass for the moment. "Why did I join the legion," Foxx repeats. "Much like the reason our Sargent left the Coalition, because of a difference of opinion. Only I was truly dealing with the psychopaths that run the Magic Zone. I had thought I could make a difference there but overplayed my hand. Apparently, you can only fake being evil for so long before you have to prove that you are one of them. Things became quite complicated after that." A dark smile crosses her face, "I think they still have a bounty on me."Hardin wrote: "But anyway, how about y'all? Why'd you sign up with the Legion?"
Losing her temper as she did was not one of her proudest moments either. One that her parents would disapprove of, even if the intentions were right.

Re: The Mark V Open RP
"Why did I join the Legion? Well, friend Hardin, I heard tales of Lord Coake's lost hope as the Cyber Knights split over Tolkeen, some defending the city and some standing aside, some even fighting the horrors that the mages of that city summoned in their defense. Had that war still raged, I know not what I would have chosen. But I know that Lord Coake has found new hope in the Tomorrow Legion, and I knew as soon as I heard of it that I should stand in defense of that hope."

Arthur nods to Rob. "He's really the Robot Killer, I'm just a support type really. I joined up because I wanted some excitement, and the Legion seemed like the best way to help people". A shrug.

Looks over at Hardin, "I'm alright."
In responce to Hardin's inquire. "I was rescued by the Black Company..." she pauses for a second getting a strange feeling of Deja Vue. "again. They took me back to Castle Refuge. Not knowing who i am, I picked out the name Leethe, You can call me Lee if you want though. Didn't have anything else to do, so that is why i joined up."
She contemplates for a bit, "Dang it. If he is gone, that just leaves me to pilot this thing and I'm not good with weapon systems. Can anyone help me out on that?"

"Ah, sorry Lee. Weapon systems are not my thing," the dark elf says. "Maybe if they were magic I could be of more help to you. I seem to have a problem with technology breaking around me."

Leethe sighs at the misconception she presented, “i don’t know how to shoot a gun.”

Hardin gives a grin. ”Now that is somethin’ ah can help with! Ah’d be happy to show you. Heck, ah taught our last batch a refugees to shoot in just a coupla a days. They weren’t marksmen or nothin’, but they sure held their own when we needed ‘em to.”Leethe wrote:Leethe sighs at the misconception she presented, “i don’t know how to shoot a gun.”

L.C. chuckles. It's Brison that speaks up though. "If anyone can teach you how to shoot, it's Hardin, though I'd be willing to run you through the basics as well. It's mostly about practice and honing whatever natural skill you have. If there is one thing the CS is good about, it's teaching folks how to shoot. Nice to use that to help people for a change."

Re: The Mark V Open RP
Leethe trains with Hardin and Brison, allowing them to show her how to use guns and to learn to shoot. It does get slightly intense as Hardin shows her how to hold the gun and aim properly while standing behind her. The whole arms around her deal; assisting in holding the gun thing. Brison runs through the basics of gun safety, describing the parts and functions of guns. All the boring but important stuff.
The group heads outside for her to actually shoot, don't want to mess up the inside of the APC. Taking her first shoots, she misses a couple of times but Hardin again shows her aim better.
