Across Universes

...There's something rather odd about this guy.

Hilarity kept quiet for now.

Beat: Rai.... drop it. He knows. I'll have you know sir that I can't trust you. It's one thing to take in a few travelling layabouts into my crew, but not someone in your position. If you want to join you'll have to prove your worth the risk.

She didn't have reason to trust any one but Nix really but she was safer with them than with this guy.

"The only team we are, are entertainment. Another musician isn't that bad of an idea." His voice sounded sincere once more. "...Oh forgot it." 'Nix slightly grumbled. Way to give up, Captain.

Raidou:-Feels somewhat down that his efforts were for naught, but keeps himself composed for the sake of the others-

Beat: I'm not saying that we won't accept you but that we need to see what you can do.

Ajay: Alright, what do you want me to show you? *had his sword out in a flash, right at his neck* You can say I'm a pretty fast draw with my blade.

Beat: Impressive.

She breifly stepped outside. She found two dead branches on the ground. She tossed one to Ajay.

Beat: But let's see how you do in a duel. She held he branch in the starting stance.

Ajay: *grabs the branch and gets in stance* Finally, a true use for all this training I got from my father.

She thrust toward Ajay remembering the fencing learned from years of practice.

"Hmm..." 'Nix stroked his chin, watching. If he tries that again, though...

Raidou:-Silently watches impressed, not having seen fencing before-

He then easily parried the attack, keeping his ground.

Beat sideswipes to his unguarded point.

Beat: So I haven't really caught your name yet sit.

Churcv. Gotta go. Won't see you till at least 3:30.

Ajay: Name's Ajay. *continues to fight, holding back, but still showing enough skill to impress Beat*

"Well, since it's too late now..." 'Nix quickly checked to make sure they weren't being watched. "Name's 'Nix, AJ."

She did another thrust.

Beat: Intersesting to meet you. I'm Captain Merrideth Beat.

Ajay: *still fighting her off* It's nice to finally have some names! So, what are we planning to do now?

Beat: We need to gather info on our targets.

She was being vague until she was sure this kid was worth it.

'Nix just stroked his chin. Hmm... He's not bad at fighting, that's for sure.

Ajay: Ah, I see. *starts going on the offensive* You know, I happen to be having an appointment with that lieutenant from last night...Perhaps I can extract some information from her?

Beat: That works. And you can stop holding back. You can't really hurt me and I'd have the edge out in the open.

Ajay: But what's the fun in that? *disarms Beat almost instantly* Anyways, I guess I have to get going. Don't want to leave her waiting!

Beat: Ok... You go do that.

When he leaves.

Beat: Too afraid to say anything. Should I 'Nix?

Norma was getting ready for her date. She was wearing a sky blue dress. Not her typical color at all but she didn't want to bore Ajay.

"There was nothing to say yet. Now that he's gone, though... Did you buy a single word that he said?"

Ajay: *takes a peruse over some Mozart music, gets a bowtie, shrugs, then goes to the place he set up at a restaurant*
