[b][i][u]Promotion[/u][/i][/b]
[b]Omega, Royal, Snow and a number of other faces were circled around a man.
Private Marker, who had been serving under Quincy during the hunt for Pal and had fought through the wars.
He had a glowing recommendation from Quincy himself, and now he was to be promoted from Private straight to Seargent, proving himself a capable leader.
Now only Quincy needed to give a small speech [/b]
[spoiler]Quincy! "[/spoiler]
English

[spoiler]O snap, Q sucks at speeches.[/spoiler] Quincy stood, not really quite sure what to say. "Im not the best at speeches, and Im terrible at coming up with ways to shower someone in praise, so, uhm, Ill try to keep this simple. Marker has shown capability of both following orders, as proved through finding Pal AND throughout the invasion, and being able to give orders, as shown during the defense of the Dojo from that huge zombie horde that sorta came out of nowhere. I'm proud of Marker, for not only receiving this promotion but for listening to my very first order to him: 'try not to die' or something like that. Im no genius but he's listened to that pretty well, wouldn't you all say?" he asked rhetorically. He sat down, done with the speech, not sure what else to say.

[b]The group clapped at the short speech and Royal walked over to Maker, presenting him with a patch that had a design of 12 markers right next to each other. The patch was placed on his arm, and he saluted.[/b] "Thank you sirs!" [b]The group disperses and Marker walks over to you [/b] "Sir, those were some nice words. I'm glad I listened to your order"
-
He chuckled, shaking his hand and then puling into a hug, patting his back. "I am too, bud. So, how does it feel to get instantly promoted?"
-
[b]Marker patted Quincy's back as well [/b] "I don't know sir. Feels good. But I'm also scared."
-
"Just roll with it. Don't mess up on purpose and you'll do fine."
-
"Thank you sir. It means alot."
-
"Im glad I could help." he said, disbanding the hug.
-
[b]Marker smiled at him as he took a few steps back [/b] "I'm going to go meet my team. I'll see you around, yeah?"
-
He pats him on the shoulder. "Good luck. See you around." he said, smiling.
