Trainer Meetings Omega Shield Bar (9:00pm Tiger, Kris, Bel, Dante, Jeckle, Akane, Lt. White, Roan and Marv)

[dakota]

Khris entered the bar and stood in the doorway, looking around the room. He expected to be the last to arrive since he was the only one at the last session with the newbies.

[sasqaricious]

Akane too also enters the bar not even glancing to see who is there before she enters. Walking up to the bar she orders only a coke being one of the rare demon quellors that do not imbibe alcohol having seen the effects on her uncle.

Jeckle drags her feet as she enters the group meeting. she settles in a chair and puts the feet out, crosses the arms and lets her chin rest on the coat she wears. dark glasses hide if her eyes are open or closed at this time

Tiger arrives right after Jeckle, having stopped for a quick shower and changing into a tank top and some blue jeans before stopping in. She pours herself a pitcher of draft beer and sits next to Jeckle, trying not to seem eager while waiting for Kris.

There are no other Omega Shield members around other than Tiger's team and the new martial arts trainers. Roan tends bar. Marv sits quietly at the bar sipping on a bottle of Jack Daniels. Lt. White plays darts and has a couple beer bottles stacked next to him.

When Tiger finally sees Kris, she beams at him and toasts him with her beer. "You survived!"

[dakota]

Khris looked at the liquor for a moment, and remembered what had happened in Japan before turning towards the table Tiger and Jeckle were at. He grinned as he slid into the other side. " Of course I survived, you know better than to question my stamina. On the other hand," he nudged Jeckle with his foot," You better lighten up on the kiddo here. JC, when's the last time you really got some sleep?"

[shiivster]

Jeckle simply moves her feet out of the way. 'gald you're here. she's really twitchy now. was edgy before. think i'll sit at another table and let you two whisper whatevers to each other'

*she moves to the next table and settles back and relaxes in the same pose with a deep sigh of contentment. 'i'm a little out of shape just now. used to be able to work till it was complete or have 2 hours nap after driving 4 hours to a new location before working again. do you whispering now, i'm listening to music . . . '

*she slips earbuds in and presses play and has every intention of resting until the meeting starts. she tries to not exeert herself when not working, just so she can work with a clear head. the sweet tones of an opera play in her earbuds as she relaxes and blocks the world out.

[dakota]

"Jeckle," Khris started with a combination of a sigh and a scowl, but knew it was pointless with her music turned on. He turn back to Tiger," She makes me look like a socialite. The kids did okay, so I'm guessing they were the same in other classes?"

[albatross]

"All three will be legendary martial artists someday, though I doubt Aikido will be their last art." Tiger says.

Tiger stands up to get another drink, "And here's another socialite, I'd better at least say hi." She make way over to the bar and says a couple words to Marv on the way. Marv nods and says gruffly, "Lots on my mind. Roan's doing the talking."

"Right," Tiger says making her way back to her seat. "Forgot she can hold a conversation like that. Hope I didn't interrupt anything. Ha." She tips back another beer.

[shiivster]

Jeckle suddenly starts and flails backwards as she's 'alert'. the chair hits the ground and she rolls to stand up and stares at the bar . . . 'uhh .. yeah .. apple juice please . . . ' *she then brushes the legs and coat off before moving another step.

*she calmly rights the chair then moves to the bar to go pick it up with a 'thanks . . thanks for asking. yeah great, i'm doing great too .. ' *she turns and moves to a DIFFERENT table. this one she plonks into and rests the head in on hand that hides the eyes from view

[dakota]

"That girl is starting to worry me." Khris said lowly as he watched Jeckle." she needs a break Tigger, or she's gonna burn out." He watched Tiger move to tha bar and leaned back in his seat, with his feet up to relax. The bar was tempting him, but he was fighting temptation for now.

[shiivster]

Jeckle lifts the head and starts sipping the juice and looks about. she finally stands up with her juice and moves towards the dart corner and observes. she says nothing but observes the stance and throwing technique. her eyes track the dart when it hits, then moves to stand to the back to see the stance again.

[albatross]

Lt. White notices Jeckle's watching him and flashes her a grin. he probably has a martial artists sixth sense or something. Jeckle can tell by his stance that his legs aren't the same, probably has a cybernetic leg... probably lost in combat in some war. Edwin White's scars are hidden under his clothes, but they are still visible to those who know what to look for. He gestures to the darts as if to say, how 'bout a game.

[shiivster]

'never tried . . . but sure' *she sets the juice down then takes off the coat, then the long sleeved shirt with the patchwork scars of semi botched skin grafts

'gimme three free shots? just to figure out how to throw them' *she waits for him to finish and then settles her foot just behind the line. she studies the dart in her hand, then to the board 'here goes nothing' *she fires them off one after the other

[albatross]

Edwin doesn't react to Jeckle's scars, which is probably the polite thing for a veteran like him. After he finises his throws he watches Jeckle's throws and grunts, "Good toss."

Jeckle's natural agility makes her at least passable at darts. Edwin doesn't condescend to give her tips, but he does ask, "What are you drinking?"
