"I-I'm Cosmo," Cosmo stammered. Even though he was nearly 20 he felt as insecure and frightened as if he were 12.

[Kerr]

"Chloe Waters." said Chloe in a cold and almost distant manner.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Marilyn Moors sat farther back than anyone, nearly out of sight. She was wearing a long black wig with bangs that covered up her face along with large sunglasses. She had never spoken her name to any NAFP member other than the most elite recruiters and officers. Because of her fame, it had been kept a secret. Up until now it had almost seemed like a fantasy, but Marilyn knew the time was coming where she had to reveal her true face to the world, or at least to these rebels.

[Imp]

Spoiler:

Is it okay if I come back in? This started later than I expected.

[MARS]

Spoiler:

Sure.

[Eltee]

Rysati tapped the arm of the chair she sat in. "I'm Rysati." She said simply.

[Per]

Kim sat on the front row, arms and legs crossed. "Call me Mr. Melk," he exclaimed in his posh voice. "Pleased to meet you all!"

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Marilyn took a deep breath and threw off her wig and sunglasses. She pulled off what was keeping her hair plastered to her head and the blonde tufts spilled out, forming her trademark style. She stood up. "Marilyn. I'm Marilyn Moors!" She shouted excitedly. Marilyn suddenly felt dizzy and sat back down.

[MARS]

Meanwhile, Finn stood about feeling rather dissapointed. He hadn't expected the first meeting to be as anticlimatic as it proved to be.

[Imp]

After a little time, Joey urged enough courage to speak, "Joey. My name is Joey Grod."

[Eltee]

Rys glanced appraisingly at the other recruits, expression blank and inscrutable. "We all know why we're here." She said in a flat voice. "Now, I'd like to know a little bit more about this organization we've worked up the courage to join, and what our roles within it will be." She seemed reluctant to speak even those brief, curt sentences.

[MARS]

"Understand this first: We're not all that powerful yet. Right now there's only a handful of us. You're the ones who're gonna change that." Finn said. He couldn't help but sound slightly defensive. "I can't say much here, and it wouldn't really have a point either. In a couple hours tops you'll be off to HQ where you'll be properly briefed. We just have to secure everything. The U.N.A. can't know that we recruited anyone." He paused for a bit to let the words sink in. "Your roles will be whatever the hell you're good at. You can fly? You'll be a pilot. You know how to handle a computer? You'll program our gear, do research and hacking and so forth. We didn't pick you at random. We know who you are, we know what you can do."

[Arch-Mage Matt]

"I don't want to sound conceded, but it is imperative that my presence here remains a secret. I can't be discovered as a rebel." Said Marilyn.

[MARS]

"Well, if you'd listened to what I said, you'd have heard that you're here because we have to secure the route to HQ, blondie," Finn replied uncurtly. "I know you're famous and all, but I expect that you know that you'll be in danger." He turned to the others.
"Same goes for all of you. It's dangerous business you're getting yourself into. If you want to turn back, now's the time. No one knows you're here, no one will ever know you were here. But when we leave, there is no guarantee for safety."

[Kiz]

''Sorry, snoozed off. I'm Zuedalus, or more simply Z as some people prefer'' Z. muttered sounding groggy. ''What'd I miss?'' Z. asks in a curios manner.

[MARS]

"Snoozed off?" Finn asked, in an annoyed tone. "Snooze off outside of here and you're dead! Anyway, you didn't miss nothing. We're just here to wait for your trip to HQ to be secured and I figured you all might want to acquiant yourselves before you leave your life behind. Seems that no one really wants to talk, though. Fine by me, my only job is to get you here."

[Frost Mage]

"I'm Jarathar.", said Jarathar steadily, still questioning the whole affair. "Pleased to meet you all."

[Kiz]

Z. looks around sheepishly, and then realizes that it is not just him, Finn and Jarathar. ''Hi all!'' He says, ecstatic to see some new faces. ''I really hope I don't die, that really would put a bit of a damper on the trip from my point of view'' Z. comments, almost sarcasticly. ''Any idea on how long it will be then?'' He asks Finn.

[MARS]

"Not long," Finn replied. "20 minutes if nothing goes wrong. A couple of hours if they run into complications."

[Kerr]

"I really don't want to go back to my job so I hope this goes well." said Chloe.

[Kiz]

''Lets hope 20 minutes, this drags'' Z. remarks, looking thoroughly bored. ''A couple of hours might just kill me quicker than a snooze, speaking off snoozes....'' Z. tails of into a deep breath, his eye lids roll shut and begins to snore.

[MARS]

Finn looked down on Z. with disdain.
"Not often I make mistakes," he remarked.

[Kerr]

Chloe looked at Z and turned back to Finn. "I hope this organisation is dedicated to its cause." said Chloe.

[Frost Mage]

"Give him a break.", Jarathar murmured rather annoyed with Finn. "A nap sounds rather good after what I've been through today."

[Kerr]

"Why? What have you been doing?" asked Chloe.
