    I... guess I do?

    [ Ehehe. ]

    I figure that I'm just going to cool my heels off for a bit, and then hit the books.

    [ All the Studying! ]

    ["That sounds very familiar", Will remarks as he's casting a glance and a smirk at Gray's way.]

    Keep talking, Will, and I might just decide to give you a little bit of bad luck for today.

    ["Yeah, yeah. I hear you", the man said dismissively with a wave of his hand, before eyeing you again. "So, it's just studying? Nothing else lined up?"]

    [ Shaking her head at that. ]

    I might jog a little before dinner, or put in a quick workout. I don't want to tire myself out too much before C&S, though.

    [ She's heard that sometimes they do field simulations. Better safe than sorry, right? ]

    That's probably a good idea.

    [At that moment, Temo promptly perks up when he spots something. Gray and Will soon follow his gaze to see that two men and one woman (all familiar faces to them) had just arrived at the Great Hall. One man was clearly African by his appearance, while the other two looked to be Filipino like Will.

    "Huh. There they are. I guess we can start working out what to do today", Will says before glancing at him. "Pare?"]


    You go on ahead, Will. I'll be right over in a bit.

    ["Sige. Just don't take too long. We still got to work out what's our plan for tomorrow, too".]

    Because of the party. Yeah, I know.

    ["Right", and Will's glancing over at you as he holds out one hand with a grin. "Well, it was nice to meet you, Segan. Hope to see you around. And maybe you'll get to know the rest of us Minnows as well".

    Gray, meanwhile, is rolling his eyes at the mention of that nickname for their blade.]

    It was nice to meet you too!

    [ He's... nice? Which is really cool, in Segan's book. ]

    Minnows, huh?

    [ A little teasing as she turns back to Gray. ]

    [He's smiling sheepishly with a shake of his head, before glancing over at Will as he's jogging over to meet their blademates.]

    It's just one of a few nicknames that got tagged onto our blade. But frankly, I think I'd prefer Mino to Minnow, especially since it still sticks to a bird theme. [Glancing back at you.] We're actually called the Minokawa.
    interceptive: (//013)

    Rolling Intelligence + Occult just to see if she's learned about it: 1 success.

    [personal profile] interceptive 2014-09-30 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
    [ Blinking at that. Minokawa... she's seen that name around before? Minimal details though ]

    I don't think I've read about the myth behind that before. Can you tell me more?

    [ Because more learning = always good. ]
    anteayer: (015 |)

    [personal profile] anteayer 2014-09-30 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
    Sure.

    [And his smile takes on a more helpful note as he nods back, before pulling out his tablet to load up something.]

    The Minokawa is a giant bird found in Bagobo mythology, said to be as big as an island. Everyday, it would chase after the moon to try and eat it. And if it succeeds, it brings about an eclipse.

    [Even with the Breaking of the Veil, myths like that were still interesting to read up on.]

    The way they described it apart from its size was pretty impressive, too. A steel beak and talons, mirrored eyes, and each one of its feathers likened to a sharp sword.

    [Ah. There we go.

    He's handing his tablet to you after finding an article on that dragon.]
    interceptive: (//008)

    [personal profile] interceptive 2014-09-30 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Listening intently to that, because she really, really loves learning about this sort of thing. Who knows when it could end up important, right?

    Then, when you hand over your tablet, she's taking with a grateful nod and reading. ]


    So what made you guys decide to take that as your blade name?
    anteayer: (013 |)

    [personal profile] anteayer 2014-09-30 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
    For starters, we picked it because of how similar the Minokawa's imagery was to the Netsach insignia. Just as it was relentless in its pursuit of the moon, we want to show that we'll be equally persistent when it comes to chasing down a mark.

    [Pausing a bit to take a breath, then exhale]

    It was Will who suggested it, actually. His way of identifying with his roots back at Davao. And the others found that it worked for us. Especially since Sipho and Lazare are aiming to join the Riders when they hit Fifth Circle.

    [ Man, that is so cool. '^' ]

    It's a great name, and it sure sounds like you have a really good blade.

    [ She hopes, someday, that she'll have equally good people watching her six. ]
    anteayer: (015 |)

    [personal profile] anteayer 2014-09-30 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
    Yeah...

    [Glancing again at his blademates as they were sitting down at one table.]

    They're all good people. And I'm glad I have them as my compadres for the Vigil. Hopefully, we'll be able to make a difference for a lot of people together.
    interceptive: (//012)

    [personal profile] interceptive 2014-09-30 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
    And hopefully, I'll be able to join you guys someday. I think it'll be an honor serving with you.

    [ Not that she's thinking of going to Netsach anytime soon, but... well. Vigil Things. Everyone's a comrade until proven otherwise, right? ]
    anteayer: (008 |)

    [personal profile] anteayer 2014-09-30 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
    I'll be looking forward to it...

    [Glancing your way with a smile. Yes, it would be good to have someone like you on the Vigil.]

    Well, I probably shouldn't keep them waiting. We still got the rest of the day ahead of us. [Have a nod from him.] See you around, Brooke. And good luck later at C&S.

    {Hopefully, we'll get to talk more next time!} [Temo happily adds, before flying over to perch on his shoulder.]
