[u][i][b]A Not So Happy Valentines Day.[/b][/i][/u]
[i][b]Outside the Hayes' Cave, 0800 Hours[/b][/i]
[i]Mortar is in a surprisingly good mood as he strolls up to the Hayes' cave, a bouquet of flowers bound by a silver ring in his hand and a really wide smile on his face. Despite his slight depression on Valentines day's past, he seemed to be more relieved with this one, finally having a date.. He is just about to knock on the door when he gets a phone call from an unknown number. He sighs, answering the phone. As he puts it up to his ear, his smile begins to fade, a sense of urgency replacing it. He hangs up, backing away from the cave and calling for Crossbow and a couple other people... Something is definitely wrong[/i]

[b]And so, as the call ended, Royal stepped out of the shadows Beside Mortar [/b] "What a day eh? You gonna tell me what happened or?" [b]Royal asked as he followed along [/b] [spoiler]You're alive! [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]I am? Oh, can you send me a noose?[/spoiler] *Mortar looks at Royal, his face rather confused, concerned, and shocked* The Exiled have mutinied against Cyan... They're holding her for ransom
-
[spoiler]Why ;-;[/spoiler] [b]Royal stopped and looked down [/b] "Why now? After all this time..."
-
Wait... you mean you kind of expected this?
-
"They've been through a lot. With the Aether, the Twilight, the angels."
-
I don't think they were fighting the Angels. As for the Aether... I think they're cool. Now that they're revolting, I'm not so sure...
-
"So what's the plan? You're the boss this time around."
-
*Mortar nods* We're going into the forest and will try to negotiate. If we can't we will fight.
-
"I'll tell Kross and Nathaniel to meet us there. Anyone else coming along?"
-
I'll find Crossbow, and Reese is coming too
-
"Reese.. That's the guy that came with Clara correct?"
-
Yeah, he's her father.
-
"So the six of us? Huh this should go well... I can a few Dight up here if needed"
-
That could work. We don't know HOW much of the Exiled has mutinied, so better safe than sorry.
-
[b]Royal nodded as he tapped something into his tac pad [/b] "Message has gone out... We'll see who shows."
-
Right. *Cross suddenly appears next to Mortar, ready to go*
-
"Hey Crossbow." [b]Royal nodded towards the skeleton [/b] "We'll need to make a base of operations. Work on a plan if everything goes wrong."
-
Mortar: Yeah, that'll be best. *A portal opens up, Reese stepping through holding another PST* Reese: What happened? Where's Cyan?
-
[b]The group entered Dojoville, and Royal started leading them towards a safe house [/b] "All will be explained."
-
*Reese nods a little, following the group*
-
[b]Royal stopped in front of a two story tall building, and went through the front door. As the group followed, they entered a room in which there were several boxes. Food, water, and ammunition were in the crates, with the right hand wall being covered in swords and Guns that were on shelves [/b]
-
Cross: Nice place. *Mortar and Reese observe the boxes and weapons, a little Intrigue filling Mortar.* Mortar: How long have you had this place?
-
"Hmm? Oh yeah. Uh I don't really remember? This Is technically a pocket dimension. It's set into the door, so that when I go inside I go into the safe house. When someone else goes inside, it's a living room." [b]Royal pressed a button on the wall and from the middle of the room, a stone table rose from the ground[/b]
-
Reese: Well, that's kind of strange. Mortar: Nevermind. Let's set up a plan
