[ 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. ]

Video.

[sparkofgenius]

[Absolutely. And...out she goes.]

You say that like I haven't been to war twice now.

[There's a smirk in her voice.]

You picked an exciting time to show up, Excelly.

Video.

[platinumlucifer]

Oh yeah? Do tell.

Video.

[sparkofgenius]

Nope. Classified. I'll need to see your clearance first.

Video.

[platinumlucifer]

[ That gets her to laugh. ]

We'll have to swap credentials then~

Video.

[sparkofgenius]

Exactly. Gimme twenty and I'll be there.

[and guess who's there at the inn exactly twenty minutes later?]

Action.

[platinumlucifer]

[ Excellen is waiting in the lobby, giving some poor soul a hard time. So, you know, business as usual. ]

[sparkofgenius]

[Business as usual. Until Lucca comes ambling in and waves casually.]

Yo.

[platinumlucifer]

[ She gives Lucca a two-fingered salute. ]

Yo!

[sparkofgenius]

You've gotten shorter since I saw you last, sis.

[She smirks.]

How's biz?

[platinumlucifer]

Good, as usual.

[ She gives Lucca an amused look. ]

Are you trying to say I'm shrinking in my old age?

[sparkofgenius]

That or I've gained height with evolution...

You look good for an old lady though.

[platinumlucifer]

I think I like that answer better.

[ She gives Lucca something of a look. ]

I'm not ready to be old yet. What about dignified? Distinguished? Lady-like?

[sparkofgenius]

Old. But not in a bad way. You're mature.

[platinumlucifer]

[ She laughs good and long about that. ]

That's a lie and you know it.

[sparkofgenius]

Mature looking.

[platinumlucifer]

Now I'll take that as a compliment.

[ She laughs a bit. ]

Are you hungry? I was just thinking about finding somewhere to eat. We can get a bite, then get down to business.

[ Excellen what does that even mean. ]

[sparkofgenius]

Yeah, we can do that. You want me to show you a couple good places?

[She's familiarized herself with all sorts of food. But then, she's also got a steel stomach.]

There's a great curry shop run by some of immigrants from home.

[platinumlucifer]

I was actually hoping I could try out some Union cuisine.

[sparkofgenius]

Oh yeah? Well I know another good place, just inside the Entertainment District.

[She just starts walking...joined as they get outside by a Golett.]

You'll like it. They make this really great soup.
