Current Events
Updated: 20/07/2020

**ALERT!** After a rather eventful evening at Maksim's Party, three teenagers seems to have gone missing. The doors of Vault Olympia have been breached due to a to this day unknown assailant, who sabotaged the doors locking systems, allowing demons to make entry. Thanks to the excellent defensive capabilities of the Vault's Security drones, the Attack was put to an end, and the invading monsters fled to the outside. Right now, the Doors of Vault Olympia are currently open, allowing any survivors of the fall to seek shelter within the Vault's safe halls. What Vault Security officials think of this development remains unclear as the Chief of Police and Security of Olympia refused to leave a comment. This is Rianara, of Olympia news, signing out.

The site is entering a new era as our team of mods works tirelessly on updating old and obsolete information threads and links. Over the Summer, we aim to make many changes to the forum, including writing a comprehensive beginners' guide to help new players accommodate to the combat and other rp systems in place here.

Be sure to constantly check the update thread for any changes to the boards. You can find it ->Here<-

Key:

The tracks lead to a very particular area. It was located deep within the forest of the lost. However, the usual dark forest seemed to be finding some sort of life the deeper the cadets found themselves within its bowels. Soon, they found themselves at a wooden bridge that lead into a strange town. One crafted by the very Psyche Terrorist they were looking to apprehend. They would find that this world was as Mad as her, and they'd need to find their own way through the craziness of this world. Waiting for them at the entrance to the dungeon would be Lisa Lamecia and Claire. Both the females awaited their fellow cadets. One with a smile, being Claire, while the other being Lisa with a scowl. Lisa did not take part in the investigation for personal reasons, but she figured she'd tag along for the hunt.

Following the trail wasn't hard, you would just need a pair of attentive eyes to follow them, but noticing the shift in environment was easier. Normally wouldn't such a place be dead and devoid of activity? But the fact that such a place was influenced with the introduction of two Psyche-Terrorists was excessively telling of their presence here. Maria trudged through while carefully making her way through the wooden bridge. With the weight of her coffin, who knew if she might break it? But thankfully they were able to pass through and reach their destination.

We're all Mad here [Dungeon] ADuvhe1

"Lisa. Ma'am."

Maria only made a nod at the familiar sight of two Cadets respectively. She had been wondering if the two of them would make it, but since they made their presence obvious to the team, her concerns were well-taken care of. "Our apologies. Do we have any plans right now? It seems we're facing a possible hostage situation and our target may have a male accomplice."

The situation seemed rather dire to start off with these new Cadets. In fact, this was more or less their first night on the job. It's not exactly what one would call the most ideal beginning when it comes to gradually easing into the workload, but this post didn't have such a luxury. Just as Maria never had a luxury to never carry around her coffin. The ground made a familiar thud as she let the metallic container land to the ground. It was time for her to make her own preparations.

With the latches loosened, she drew out Andraste and buried its stake deep into the dirt while allowing it to stand erect for a moment.

She started to unclasp the buttons on her religious habit. Before allowing it to fall to the ground, Maria threw it inside the coffin and kicked it shut. The Forgotten grasped the handle sticking out of the Demon Weapon and drew its entirety from the bare earth and held it without issue. Her tattoos glowed, as if acknowledging her handling with Andraste, if only for a moment. But it made the hidden markings on her skin more visible.

From her pocket, she drew out some items that would better help deal with the difficulty of the mission and shared it with the rest of her colleagues.

Huh, such an odd place to be found inside a forest. Those Terrorists were sure going all out with their charades, apparently. Though, didn't that just make them easier to locate in the end? Noah would ponder to himself as he paced after Maria who was slightly ahead of him, having exited the investigation scene first out of them all. Once they got to their destination, he would look at Lisa and Claire questioningly for a moment. Those two weren't there with them back then. So then, they already knew where to go, despite having sent the rest of them to investigate...? Was this just some sort of test because they were new? Man, some of their workings were weird. And he thought Sera had said Claire was busy with something. Yet she was just waiting for them here. ''Hey there.''. he would greet them, listening to Maria's follow up question. ''Well, we'll have to be careful while moving around, I guess....'' Simply knowing of a possible hostage and all did not tell them where said person was or anything like that. They would just have to figure it out somehow.

From then on, he would watch Maria do her change out of the corner of his eye. He himself was going to stay as he was for now, until they needed to battle. It was easier to move around with a human size and all. Besides, as funny as it would be, now was not the time to jumpscare his other teammates who hadn't seen him in his Shadow form yet.

Once the rest arrived as well, which would probably be soon after, he would do the same as Maria, handing some of them the items he had in excess. They had to work together, right? Not like he wanted to juggle them all anyway. ''Yo, take these.'' As for rules...

''I suppose we search, yes? We don't yet know what all this weird place contains.''

If Athena wasn't along the rest of cadets she would have abandoned the search the moment she stepped inside the forest. Creepy was the only word that could properly describe it and the fact it was already pitch black outside made her situation even worse, would it have killed Alice if she had chosen a less intimidating place for her hideout? Like a gym, Athena liked gyms you never hear stories about murderers lurking at gyms or demons being summoned there, gyms were practically the safest place in the world. Despite that she pressed on, couldn't afford to appear frightened to her teammates, especially since she had met most of them that day. When they reached the destination and spotted Lissa along with Claire Athena felt suspicious, was their investigation a charade to test their skills? Did Sera knew about this all along and only toyed with them, or was their appearance set by Alice who was controlling their minds, whichever the case the girl knew that she had to remain quiet for the moment still she wasn't about to let her guard down anytime soon.

We're all Mad here [Dungeon] AQPEOil

"Oh my! I certainly didn't expect to see you here.. though I does makes me feel better to know that people with your experience can assist us even in a time like this. You didn't happen to see anything out of the ordinary..." At that moment Athena paused realizing the fallacy of her words "Pardon me, I meant something other than the obvious crazy town ahead." Regardless of their answer Athena would decide to share some of her equipment with her team, just in case. "I've brought these with me, feel free to take some, they ought to prove their usefulness eventually."

The deep dark forest’s imposing presence and the sound of footsteps were  their only company as they continued forward following the trail they had picked up from the earlier investigation. While most of the team seemed to be unbothered by the presence of the forest, he did take note that Athena seemed a bit tense despite trying to cover it up. Perhaps she was scared of the place or maybe something else had her wound up. He couldn’t honestly blame her for feeling uneasy, this forest, the darkness…all of it was indeed unsettling. Even more so when the air around the place did not feel exactly normal to begin with. While for him the prospect of what this place held was fascinating, the idol managed to keep a poker face as he moved along only taking measures to match Athena’s steps as they moved along.

While Athena did not show her uneasy outwardly, he could sense  it from her and so in his own had offered comfort to the other the by simply being near. Though…to pick up on this subtle one would have to be pretty perceptive otherwise the action would only seem that he had chosen to walk along side the other on a whim rather than out of a concern. His hard to read expression wouldn’t help in deciphering his behavior as it blocked most out of prying into his thoughts, making the idol appear rather calm and collected in the situation.

They would continue on until they reached their rather….odd destination. As they came to a stop, the idol would stand off to the side a bit as he took note of Claire and another he recognized from the morning before as Lisa Lamecia, one of the Queen’s children. While the others moved to speak, the idol would give the girl a light nod of respect remaining quiet for a bit before actually speaking.

“It took a while to complete, but it was successful enough since we managed to get here; however, I am afraid we only found part of the story. The part which Maria has just told you,” Haru would say in response to the question as he folded his arms and shifted his weight to his back leg before looking over at Claire, his expression calm and non-hostile as he tilted his head at her. “Has anything else turned up since then to flesh out the story a bit?” he would ask Claire more so than Lisa. He recalled Claire mentioning something about visiting the police station earlier…Though how she managed to do that and beat them here was beyond him. As for Lisa’s presence. He wasn’t too sure of her sudden appearance either. Maybe both had done their own investigations to get here…or maybe they were already in the know and had simply used the investigation rouse to see what they do…or even test them to see if they could succeed. It was peculiar yes, but he tried not to think too much into it for now. Regardless  of what happened from there, the idol’s attention would eventually turn back to his team members as Maria finally revealed what it was she had gained to aid her in place of a persona.

When he saw the weapon and the ease in which the young woman lugged the thing around, he would only raise his eyebrows mildly amused by the display, but not enough to make any comment about it. It was nice to see that they had some physical strength on their team that might even come in handy along the way. Regardless of the impressive display, the look would soon vanish as he took note of the lack of reactions from Noah and Athena. Interesting maybe they already knew what she had or perhaps to wrapped up in their own thoughts to care. It was hard to say and honestly didn’t matter much in the long run. In the end the look would vanish as… things were given out.

This was…uncomfortable.

It was true the idol still carried the items that he got earlier on him, but as far as shopping went he was unsure how the others had found time to do such a thing. Maybe they did it in the morning or something, but they did seem well prepared in comparison to himself and seem willing to share too. While half of him was grateful for this, the there was another part him that was thoroughly bothered by this….He did not have anything to give in turn….meaning he was in debt to these folk….Meaning he would have to pay the kindness back somehow, but how and when was a question for later. Despite how conflicted the situation made him, he managed to keep the emotion well hidden as he took the items given with a soft “thank you” in turn to those who handed them out.
Once that uncomfortable affair was over, he place the item in an easy to access pocket on his clothing making sure it was secured  before he focused on the situation at hand as he took a small step forward just to get a better look at the lay out of the place ahead of them….or rather as much as of a look he could get from a distance. If he were to follow the logic of the chaos he could see and then match it with the actual story of little Alice from the books…then he was quite certain this creation before them was going to be far from easy…but then again, he would have it no other way. He liked a challenge, so bring it on.

He would stay in his position, his back to the group for the moment as he observed the madness ahead a while longer. They wouldn’t see the smirk of anticipation on his face unless of course they were quick enough to catch the small twitch; however, as he blinked and turned his head slightly to the others to listen to words tossed about, his expression was back to being blank as he nodded lightly at what was heard.

“Searching seems like the best option here, but if there is anything to prepare us for the madness ahead then I am all ears,” he would respond calmly, the latter part directed at the ones that were here first. While it was exciting to get a case like this, he wasn’t exactly fond of simply jumping in head first without first checking to see if there was anything that could aid them in the matter.

Shiina would be at the back of the group, sorting through many of the pictures she took of the crime scene alongside the notes she wrote into her notebook. Most of the story made sense, truthfully, but there were some other things that were missing details... details she really wished to come by. However, the Wild Card had no doubt in her mind that the remainder of her party already knew not to let their guard down easily. Was she worried? Very... a worry that only grew invisibly as she saw who awaited them at the entrance to the mad town. However, Shiina forced a smile onto her face and bowed to the two that awaited them.

We're all Mad here [Dungeon] PjOa43Q

//"Good evening, Lisa, and I would presume Claire?"//

She hadn't met Claire in the past, but she could gather clues from the context of the conversation, being the last to speak up. The Tsurinai gracefully slid her notebook into a pocket on the inside of her jacket and her cellphone into a small holster under her skirt, right by which sat a pair of knives, also on their own holster each.

//"I suppose, first and foremost, we observe the area more thoroughly. Is everyone here ready for combat?"// She would summon one of her knives onto her hand and start tossing it up and down as if in instinct, apparently not even really noticing she was doing it, as it would readily disappear once she took the items being handed to her. The Cadet would genuinely thank those who took the time to hand her their spare equipment, before depositing it in her bag next to a few things she already had.

//"Is it a stretch to say it most likely has demons waiting for us? Hmm, shiranai yo..."// She mumbled the last part under her breath and shook her head. //"Either way. I'd guess, um, Noah, was it? Well, his idea seems to be for the best here."//

"..Heh." Claire gave a smile to the team and Lisa remained the same. Lisa gave a nod in greeting to those who acknowledged her but remained rather silent to a certain degree. "Welcome Welcome Welcome to all of you. Sorry I was late to help with the investigation; my time at the police department took longer than usual. Though I know the situation and I've filled Lisa in on it aswell. To be honest, I already investigated that area. I knew where to go, and I was sorta surprised you all were able to solve it alone. You're shaping out to be some seriously good Cadets!" Claire gave a smile and a thumbs up to the team. There were some faces she didn't recognize. More specifically, one face being that of the young woman who presented herself. The busty young woman would rub a finger under her nose and give a toothy smile. "Haha, who are you supposed to be?"

The young woman's eyes shifted over to Maria who made such a sudden change from her usual attire. Claire tilted her head and looked with round eyes. "Woah, Maria, you're really into this. It's going to be really hard to focus with you dressed like that! Awesome, I'm looking forward to seeing you in action. Regardless of that, let's get down to business." The veteran Cadet gave her another playful wink before placing a hand on her hip.

"We'll be splitting into two teams. Team A will be the new recruits, save for Lisa. You all will be making a front entrance. If there's anything about this place I've noticed, it's that they're expecting visitors. It appears our Terrorist wishes for more guests for this mad tea party she seems to be holding. Keep in mind there may be a hostage, so just play her game how she wants it." Claire looked over to Lisa after stating this and gave a smile. "Julius informed me about your Persona's specialty. You're going to be with me. While the rest of the team draws Alice's attention we're going to locate this hostage and any accomplice she may have with her. This will be a joint effort." The young woman would pat Lisa on the back, and the girl would take a step forward to catch herself before giving a simple nod.

"Understood. Though I'm sure I could handle this without your assistance, Claire. But for the sake of my Brother's decision for you to lead the operation, I will follow your orders." Lisa answered back with a tone of indifference before readying her blade. She didn't really mind being separated from the others. This meant she could directly show Claire why she should be the leader in the next operation. Atleast that's what she hoped by being partnered up with the commanding officer of the hunt.

Claire gave a nod to Lisa before turning back to the group. "Alright, so we have a pretty big cast here. Surely not all of you will be on the front line at once. We can have four in the battle, with an alternating second cast. Basically, as we go through this dungeon, you all will have a rotating team. Each of you need to experience the hunt to get the full affect of being a Cadet. So who wants to be the initial four to go into the dungeon on the front line?"

"What business did you have with the department?" she asked Claire with curiosity.

It was odd that she wouldn't meet up with them back at the crime scene. But perhaps it was related to tonight's task. She had a modicum amount of benefit of doubt for her. Yet, it didn't mean the nun couldn't be curious.

Claire's praise, while it did mean they were doing well, Maria couldn't take the credit for it. The entire investigation was mostly dealt with by Shiina's efforts. Yet, at the very least, she learned quite a bit from it and was more aware how much she needed to improve. But right now, the nun was starting to get even more into her element. Investigations weren't quite her forte, but bashing a few skulls was far more comfortable than staring the remains of a kill.

Maria looked straight at Claire while cocking back the gun with an audible shift in mechanism while loading up a shell. Her face was one that never seemed amused or taken back by how forward her superior was. Unlike this morning, she wasn't blushing.

We're all Mad here [Dungeon] Q1ZgFGo

"Ma'am. I ask that we focus on the task at hand. Someone's life is at stake here."

Mood killer or not, the girl wasn't one to treat a task like this so lightly. She never would have anyway, but the fact that an innocent life was rest on their shoulders made the pressure even heavier. Despite her stony expression, the Forgotten was feeling on edge. "Likewise, I hope we don't let you down."

Andraste could feel her concerns, the demon inwardly smirked at it. Maria ignored it and listened to what else Claire and Lisa had to say as she obtained the items from the rest of her teammates. A joint operation seemed likely, but the team composition seemed more lopsided. Again, the benefit of doubt played here and she let that go for now.

They were capable. Maria knew firsthand how useful Lisa would be and no doubt Claire can handle herself. Now, she had to put her trust in the rest of her Cadets. The Forgotten stepped forward and nodded as she volunteered herself, "I'll help cover the front."

Then the girl looked towards the rest of her team to see who else wanted to take up the role like her.

....and Claire was was being all chipper about this all again. Though honestly, Noah still found her general behavior up till now odd, there was no proof of anything. Hopefully, this wasn't going to turn into some sort of trick because that would be pretty painful even if they were prepared for it. Either way, he would nod at the rest as they came in and all, listening in to any answers for their questions.

He did find the split somewhat weird though. Dealing with the hostage and accomplice with only a two man team? Sure, Claire was supposedly a veteran Cadet, but that still sounded like a lot of work for such a small team. For all they knew, said accomplice could be as dangerous as Alice herself. And Lisa seemingly still didn't give up her superiority complex. Wasn't she as new as them? How could she possibly want to handle this solo? That kinda goes beyond a healthy amount of courage. Can't be brave once you're dead. ''You two should be careful too. It wouldn't do us well if they decided to jump the smaller team first.'' It would be easier for an enemy to get rid of the smaller force after all. Unless they were too confident to bother going after them.

''Well then, if no one complains, I shall go. Could use a good stretch to start things off.'' And a bit of time to scout ahead before having to fall back. Although, they would still have to keep an eye on things even when on the back up. This place wasn't about to be a walk in the park, surely. ''Is there anything else, or we going now?'' They probably shouldn't wait too long though, in case the hostage was really there...

Claire's cheerfulness rubbed Athena the wrong way, considering the situation they were in being so happy was certainly not normal, then again the other cadets who had known her more than she did mentioned she was peculiar, still nothing could prepare her for this. Athena wasn't going to trust her any time soon, though she decided feigning affection was the best course of action, Claire was a veteran cadet and thus her approval was beneficial. "This plan sounds good to me, we should mobilize quickly. We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to the hostage." despite her words Athena would shed no tears should the hostage perish though it would reflect poorly on their performance. "You can count on us, we'll keep this terrorist busy long enough for you to spirit the civilian away."

Her attentions sifted to the rest of her group once she was done speaking with Claire and Lissa. "I'm not a fighter but I can provide support. Perhaps I could be our backup, should any of us need to rest or step off for a bit I can replace them." Since Athena wasn't the bravest lass of Endymion providing support from the rear was going to give her the time she needed to build enough courage to face the terrorist, though for that moment she was busy making sure her legs weren't shaking.

Haru would close his eyes as he heard the words that came out of Claire’s mouth. Heh. So it was a test then. Fair enough. He supposed they’d have to continue to prove themselves worthy of their titles to get anywhere in this game, so he let the first set of words go easily enough. As for the part about her time at the police station…

He didn’t react to the mention of it, but rather found himself frowning lightly to her vague way of not answering his question. She had said she already investigated the area and filled Lisa in on whatever she had gleaned from her own investigation...yet she did not really expand upon it or bother to give them much of what she knew. Maybe he would’ve questioned this peculiarity himself, but it seemed Maria was on the same wave pattern and so posed a question that could probably settle things...provided the woman answered that question.

Regardless of the situation things would seem to take a different turn as Claire decided to give Maria special attention. Perhaps Haru didn’t know how to have fun when business was before him or maybe it was the general vibe in the air around him...whatever it was, the young man would end up sighing softly to himself as he ran his left hand through his hair a bit shaking his head lightly at the display.

He honestly didn’t understand how some could play and tease when there was literally a mad world ahead of them. While he was sure Claire could probably handle herself and the play in the situation could be to lighten the mood, on the other hand he could not deny the strange vibe in the air.

It was almost as if the others didn’t trust the woman. Though why that was he still couldn’t quite grasp. He had missed whatever started the mood in the morning and the air only seemed to linger due to how Sera reacted when the woman was mentioned due to the earlier investigation. Was everyone really that tense or was he missing the big picture when it came to this whole situation around the woman? He didn’t know, but he knew he did not like the air the unease was causing. As for his own view of the woman, he was neutral. Until something could be proven and shown to persuade him that the woman had done anything at all, she was innocent in his eyes...or rather as innocent as a Cadet could be in the given situation.

The situation only got stranger as Claire gave them the run down of what they were to do. He wasn’t sure how he felt about the whole split thing considering they were a small group to begin with...and honestly had no need to toss one person out of the fighting ring, but on the other hand having some ready to go if someone did go down was a plus, so while strange...maybe this loose order would work out better than he thought. Even so, it seemed that Claire and Lisa were going to be a team. Though he had to wonder how that was going to work since the latter seemed to be against the idea of team work to begin with. He understood the need to rise and that there would be competition...but in situations like this wasn’t that point a bit moot? They were suppose to be a team. Not trying to one up each other, let alone work solo on a what was already shaping up into an complicated case...He hoped this didn’t get them into trouble considering they were deciding to be a duo rather than come along with the rest of them…

In any case, the idol would remain quiet watching as Maria and then Noah volunteered to take to the front lines while Athena decided to take to the back lines. After considering things a bit, Haru would eventually nod as he let his arms drop his side.

“I would have to agree with Noah. Even more so since it doesn’t seem we have a way of communicating with each other once we part ways. I am sure you ladies can take care of yourselves, but try not do anything too crazy,” he would say before shifting in his spot to move back towards the group. As he moved he would pause by Athena. Though she put on a brave face, he could sense her fear.

“Be at ease. We’ll get through this together,"
he would tell her his tone surprisingly gentle as he gave her a small smile. A rare offer of comfort to the other that only lasted last a minute before he was serious once more as his eyes moved away from her and he moved to join Maria and Noah.

“I'll join you two then,” he would say as he took a spot off to the side of Maria and then waited for their last member to decide what they wanted to do.

Shiina's smile would drop when Claire asked who she was. Frankly, that cheerfulness was annoying her, more so than anything else, and she wasn't quite one to take that so easily. Nevertheless, the Tsurinai closed her eyes for a moment and took an elegant bow towards the other Cadet.

//"My name is Shiina Kyoko Tsurinai, I don't believe we've interacted yet, though I do recall your presence in the morning meeting yesterday."// The Cadet's blue eyes opened softly and drifted over Claire's figure as she returned to a more standard posture. She settled on staring at her face for a few seconds, then turning away without another word. She had no real issues responding to questions, but she wouldn't try to pick something before they even began, that would be foolish.

//"Five people constitutes as a 'pretty big cast'..? This is barely a full party..."// Shiina muttered this and shook her head with a scowl. They weren't that many to begin with, and now she wished to force them into splitting up further, especially when she had already taken Lisa with her as well? It made the Tsurinai sigh at the lack of potential for building a single universal tactic. Now they had to expend more brain power deciding who should switch with who occasionally. What a pain.

//"I suppose since there's only three going so far, I'll take the last spot, then. Athena, please keep yourself in shape just in case."// Nevertheless, she couldn't really voice her displeasure right now. This was an order, after all, even if it was one Shiina very much disliked. Well, whatever, she guessed.

"Oh jeez, I swear you all are so freaking tense. One thing you're going to learn when working under Julius is to ease up. You being so tense is just going to cloud your judgement at the end of the day. Yes, we know the situation and we know someone's in danger. However, acting so serious isn't going to change that fact. You need to act natural in behavior for things such as this to make you more calm. In laymen's terms, stop acting like these stone faces are going to get you anywhere." Claire would stab her blade into the ground and holster her gun. Raising her hands, she'd tie her hair into a ponytail to keep it out of the way before turning to Lisa and giving a nod. The two would make their leave from the main entrance and seemingly begin to circle around the outer perimeter. Little did they know, Claire's ability involved remote communication. But she figured she'd surprise the sticks in the mud instead. Though, with how they acted, it was easy to say she wished Chris and Alex was accompanying her on this mission. Atleast they knew how to have fun with their job.

"...Understood, Ma'am. I'll keep that in mind."

Maria closed her eyes and breathed deeply through her nostrils. It was really difficult to stay calm in a situation like this, but she knew where her senior was coming from. It was a topic that Sister Louise had covered time and time again. But no matter how much training she undertook to prepare herself for a real thing, it never meant that Maria could actually function as efficiently as she wanted. Reality was harsh that way and last night was that momentary reality check. The Cadet wondered if they could actually pull this off with being very new to the force. But at the least she didn't have to worry about the hostage, it was a responsibility that Maria was loathe to take upon. She was a weapon, not a savior. There was no way she could act as someone who can save others.

She nodded at the rest of her teammates, all of them dictated their positions. With both female Cadets leaving the bigger team, it was about time that Maria and the rest to start moving on. The Forgotten took this time to take one last look at her Demon Weapon's ammunition, and all she saw was that they were primed and ready for use. The nun took some time to visit Chee to buy her necessary equipment and items for this purpose. A lot of her resources were used up, but they were necessary expenses. And it wasn't like she was so in love with money anyway. With a satisfied look on her face, she called back to the rest of her team.

"Lock and load. We're moving out, everyone. Practice caution."

It was all that she had to say to the rest of her team. Maria started to step into the madness that is the labyrinthine forest created by the madness of a dangerous Psyche Terrorist. In her mind, nothing really mattered than taking down the target and her accomplice. This was the purpose she was made for in these five years. Looking back towards her comrades, she wondered what kind of experiences they had. Were they like hers or did they have relatively normal backgrounds?

These were useless curiosities, Maria would remember. There was only the target and the target alone. This very thought caused her to grip Andraste tighter.

Eh? It wasn’t like Noah wasn’t calm about this at all. He was just not trying to be a total goof with no care for the moment. Being extra cheerful didn’t make things any better either, did it? In the end, they weren’t at a kids’ playground, regardless of how they acted, so what was the issue? They did need to make sure they were prepared after all. Unless the Cadets were supposed to be suicidal at work, and treating it like play just so they don’t seem serious.

‘’Does it really matter? As long as we do what we need to, our apparent mood isn’t that significant.’’

Besides, he wasn’t really tense. Still, it was never wrong to make sure they weren’t going to do something they’d regret later. In a way, he would also agree with Shiina. What made the difference between four and five people? Together they would perhaps defeat the opposition faster, wouldn’t they? Guess they’d have to go by the given rules though.

He would cast a glance at the rest of his team as they decided their positions….which wasn’t even all that hard for only one person could be on standby with their numbers. Strange set ups aside, it was about time to actually head out. It would be a shame if this took them the entire night, making them lose all sleep. Even though he wasn’t really hoping to get much of it, since they would likely have to bring Alice in, if they managed to defeat her on the way.

‘’Well, let’s go. Better get it over with while we can.’’

There was no point in loitering around for too long, now that they were sort of set on things. For now, he would walk alongside Maria, watching the surroundings they passed by. It was interesting how someone could just create a place like this. Could only the Terrorists do it? He had a hard time imagining why would the government need this kind of thing. Then again, what did they really know at this point? Either way, it was still a thought to ponder while they weren’t being faced with anything on the way. How long would the peaceful travel take?

‘’Do you guys think the Terrorist knows we’re prowling around here already?’’

From what he remembered, they were supposed to distract her. That meant she would be able to tell they were walking around….
