[ A rather serious-looking man with brown hair tipped with blond appears on the feed and salutes. ]

Kyosuke Nanbu. Steel Battalion ATX Team Leader, Callsign Assault 1. I am here on exchange from Caldera. I look forward to working with you all.

[ Drapped over his shoulders is a very busty blond? How busty, exactly? You tell her, she's certainly not making any moves to hide her figure. ]

Wow, Kyosuke I never thought you'd be the mysterious type. I think I like you even more now~

Hihi, I'm Excellen Browning, ATX's Assault 2, also here from Caldera. You can call me Big Sis Excel, if you want. Or anything else you can come up with, I don't mind~

We're looking for something fun to do around the city. I heard you Unionites have some interesting stuff to keep you busy. Maybe we can find something that even stiff-lipped Assault 1 here can enjoy.

[ She looks away from the feed and toward him. ]

What do you do for fun anyway, Kyosuke?

Fun?

[ Kyosuke seems to consider this for a moment, looking a bit puzzled. ]

I'm not sure.

[ She gives him a very tired look. It's like they've done this song and dance before, more than a few times. ]

You need to think about your appeal, Kyosuke. If ladies don't think you're any fun, then they won't be interested.

Why is that a problem?

It's a big problem!

I don't understand...

Kyosuke, listen here--

[ And she cuts the feed, likely to lecture him about the inner workings of sex appeal. Or something. ]

[ACTION; EXCELLEN ONLY]

[ A few miles outside of Union, within the Verdant Forest, the sound of gunfire can be heard. Avian pokemon scatter as the sound rings through the air, and while they aren't aimed at anything in particular, a few dying trees appear to be riddled with bullet holes.

To the casual observer, it's hard to pick up which direction shots will be fired from. A streak floats by, then, suddenly, a barrage of bullets hit. Yet, despite the wide array of wildlife in this area, nothing living seems to be affected. Whoever is practicing here has quite the sharp eye.

If one stays long enough, they might catch a glimpse of the mystery sniper. A woman. Relatively tall, her long, curly blond hair tied into a ponytail. She holds a rather interesting weapon with her, which she'll occasionally lean against a nearby tree to pick up any stray bullet shells. ]

[Kili is just laughing at you two. He remembers running into them back home and oh boy.]

[platinumlucifer]

[ Wow it's not funny this is a serious problem she has on her hands. Can't you at least be a little sympathetic to her suffering, Kii? ]

Wow, is that Kili? Look how handsome you got! When did that happen?

One of Thorin's boys, if memory serves.

[Excellen, were you expecting anything less than a happy little cry out of Lucca?]

Excellen! Wasn't expecting to see you on the Warp Band!

Video.

[platinumlucifer]

[ It's her favorite crazy scientist! ]

Same to you! I wondered where you ran off to. Are you giving them Hell here?

[ You better be giving them Hell, Lucca. Otherwise she will be disappointed. ]

[There was no point in hiding it-- Cliff burst out laughing over the feed.]

How about 'Little Sis Excel?' You can tell your friend that he's way too formal-- he's gonna give Caldera a bad name if he keeps this up!

[platinumlucifer]

[ Oh, well hello there. Hot and Calderan? Technically can be assumed to go together, given the climate (snrk), but this is a special treat. ]

You can call me whatever you want, cutie. Big sis, little sis, doesn't matter to me~

[ Yup, we're doing this. ]

I know, right? He's always like this. It's incredible, no matter what I do. No smiles, no laughs, no nothing. It's like he's a machine or something.

Re: Video:

[steelbeowulf]

Bad name?

[ Oh no. This is the opposite of dull. Rincewind pulls his hat down over his face. The next words are muffled through the fabric of his very sad hat. ]

That's about the last thing we need, "something interesting".

voice;

[platinumlucifer]

[ Oof, you sound like a right negative Nancy. ]

You're from Union, I take it?

Re: voice;

[steelbeowulf]

Don't worry, our job is to take care of interesting things.

[brandnewshoes]

[...well. Estelle's pretty happy with that, 'cause Excellen reminds her of Schera her mentor before she became a full-fledged Seeker. She flashes a thumbs-up at the camera.]

Welcome to Union, fellow Calderans! It's pretty cool here!

[She winks.]

Cool as in cool and cool as in it's too cold sometimes!

video

[platinumlucifer]

[ Adorable Calderan child, you are adorable. She gives Estelle a smile and a bit of a wink herself. ]

Happy to have a good old fashioned Calderan welcoming crew on the job. What's your name?

Re: video

[steelbeowulf]

There seem to be a lot of us here.

[expertonshutters]

[Well, then. That was a blast from the past. He hesitates before answering the feed. Offering them both a lopsided grin.]

If this keeps up, no one's going to be left in Caldera.

[platinumlucifer]

[ Oh hey look who it is! Long time no see! Did you get cuter? She thinks you might have! ]

Just the super serious ones. Although I don't know how we got stuck with Kyosuke here, then.

[steelbeowulf]

By my count, Caldera still has an adequately sustainable population.

[Excellen was, at best, an acquaintance of Elka's. She could probably have counted their conversations on the fingers of one hand. She would normally have probably just ignored this post.

But since Excellen had brought a very handsome (if a bit oblivious) man with her, she suddenly felt obliged to catch up with old times.]

Wow what a catch. Where'd you find him?

[Can Kyosuke hear her talking about him? Probably.]

video

[platinumlucifer]

[ Sorry Elka, she doesn't share. ]

On loan from the Steel Battalion. Why? You jealous?

Re: video

[steelbeowulf]

I didn't realize you fished, Excellen.

Video

[victimlessdetails]

[Isabela definitely appreciates the view, such as there is.]

Once again I wonder why I didn't wash up in Caldera. Other than that being physically impossible. If nothing else, you all dress far more sensibly.

Video

[platinumlucifer]

[ Good thing, because it's not going away anytime soon. ]

Nothing against Union, but I have to agree. It's like Union doesn't understand heat.

Re: Video

[steelbeowulf]

I'm told come winter, Calderan attire is not particularly comfortable in this area.

[darer]

I hope you didn't bring the rest of the unit with you. Union will think we're trying to take over at this rate.

[ Well, the Major General looks a little different than he used to, but not by too much. He certainly seems less tightly wound than when he was in uniform. ]

video.

[platinumlucifer]

Boss! You're looking good~ How's the prude life treating you?

action;

[platinumlucifer]

[ Bending over to pick up a few stray shells, Excellen stops when she hears his voice carry over the sounds of the forest. While she would never telegraph it, the other blond was on high alert, taking a few steps toward her rifle.

She was confident that, should it come to it, she could fend her watcher off. But in the meantime, she was all smiles. ]

Hey, that's not fair, sneaking up on a girl like that.
