to teach.

starter for @miaxjunghwa

the archery range is busier than doyun is really use to. but the teen normally finds himself there at random hours of the day and so being here mid morning sort of guarantees that there is going to be a handful of other agents. after all he isn't the only archer in the agency even if he likes to pretend that he is. it wouldn't be as much fun if he was the only one. no one to truly compete against and challenge himself against.

the teen rolls his shoulders back, testing them--especially his right one--to see if he's too stiff. not that it would stop him if he was. he knows he would get scolded if he worked out when in pain but honestly doyun doesn't care. he needs to keep getting better and he needs to be able to fight another day if hes going to keep his brother and new found family safe. there is no time for him to be injured and whining about it. even if his shoulder pulls a little when he turns it. he can manage.

"so.... you.... want to learn archery?" he turns his gaze to the older girl ( almost ten years his senior and yet he's going to be showing her the ropes of his main weapon ). a nervous smile pulls across his lips and he holds up his bow rests it against his left shoulder. "umm, have you ever used a bow before?" he is trying to think what he had been told when learning how to shoot originally. the words alistair told him when he was just 17 and they had some free time during building. the older agent so kind as they explained.

he thinks, yeah -- i can do this. he's pretty good with his bow and he's been using it everyday for over two years now so like that counts for something? yeah? right? hes going to say yes and move on.

Either this mission was more dangerous than he had expected, or they were very unlucky. This duo ran into too many demons along this path to the point that Cheng, typically an overpacker, was running out of ammunition. And yes, it was only like 6 something still in the morning. 

Racking the last bullet into his rifle, he dropped to a kneeling position with his supporting hand on his knee to improve the balance. Since this bullet was so precious, it must hit on target perfectly.

And after that...

Cheng's eyes flickered towards his injured teammate, whom he had propped into a sitting position against the tree behind his back. At this position, nothing could get to her without going through him first. The young agent stirred uneasily in her unconsciousness, sweat gathering above her brows. Earlier in combat, she was thrown into a tree. While there was no visible wounds and she was able to recover quickly enough to retaliate, damage was still done. Keen to complete the mission, she kept her pain to herself for some time, dismissing Cheng's questions though her cheeks became paler with each step that she took.

Internal bleeding was what Cheng suspected and when her coordination began to go due to her blurred vision, he carried her on his back and accepted no further protests.

After this final bullet, he'd have to switch to the dagger. While Cheng was actually better at close range combat, such a fighting style would mean he'd be unable to keep an eye on his teammate.

The bushes rustled and Cheng's thoughts drifted back to the situation at hand. He could afford to worry about everything else later, for now, he must take care of whatever was lurking in the woods.

With great patience he waited for the creature to show itself and when she finally did, Cheng's furrowed brows eased and he put on a smile of relief. "A face that I am grateful to see," he said, sliding his rifle back in its holster. "Agent Puresnow, Junghwa, you really do have impeccable timing." He stepped aside to reveal his injured teammate, who very much needed this medic's assistance. "What are you doing here? Did the agency assign you to join us?"

It’s 0900 hours when JINX calls all agents to the training hall. 

“Listen up! In preparation for a mission coming up, some things are going to change. As I’m sure you’ve noticed already, the rank rules have been tweaked and many of you have risen one rank.” She begins, hands on her hips as she over looks the crowd of agents. 

Beside her stands SOL and on the other side is LERISSA. All three head agents look rather stern. 

“We experienced a devastating loss recently and I’m sure many of you are still reeling from that.” She taps her wrist, a holographic showing the list of teams appears behind her. “I wish we could take a longer breather, but we have no time to continue sitting on our asses.” 

��Behind me you see the current line up for the teams. With the recent rank ups, this is going to change.” 

The names shift around, fading in and out, before settling in a new order.

“For the upcoming mission, and until otherwise told, the teams will be set up like this. The original meaning for each team has been tossed out for the time being.” JINX takes a step back as she speaks, revealing the list for everyone to see. 

“If anything about this confuses you, feel free to discuss it with any of us.” SOL adds, smiling at the crowd of agents. 

“Everything as we know it is going to change soon. But we are going to continue standing strong.” LERISSA says, her voice firm. Confident. 

“Humanity will not stop fighting back just yet, and we are the first line to keeping everyone alive.” JINX holds up her fists and bumps them together in front of her chest before raising both arms to the sky. “MEIA is strong!” 

NEW TEAM ORDER 

As said in the post most of the teams no longer have the same builds as before. These will be the teams going forward. The team page will be updated to reflect this soon. Leaders are bolded. 

RAVEN (baby team): sebastian, sun, moon, shadow, puresnow

SPARROW (senior team): helios, ivy, aether, eirene, epsilon

FINCH : silk, phantom, star, wisp, lucifer

FALCON : nano, zer0, sena, harlequin, eraser

CROW (tech team): luna, mist, remy, joker, artemis

situation: weekly stretching session place: physical training grounds concerning: @miaxjunghwa​

        “oh my god.”, yejin mumbled against the yoga mat that she had come face to face with – quite literally as her nose had already come in contact with it and she was resisting the urge to let her head completely rest against it. deep down she knew, that these sessions would help her in the end, but she was quite puzzled as to how she would survive it. every time. agent puresnow seemed to be doing better, and yejin had started making up excuses in her head as to why, after all, she was younger, she was a medic, she was enhanced, her diet was probably better... just anything besides admitting she herself just wasn’t as flexible. 

        “is it really supposed to hurt this much?”, lurker spat out as she finally managed to move her body out of the position she had just been in, sitting down onto the mat. chest heaving with deep breaths, she used the back of her hand to wipe some of her sweat from her forehead. “i feel like i am about to snap in half.”, she admitted with a soft laugh, but the feeling was indeed there. 

        pushing her hair back behind her ears, she eyed the other for a moment. she felt at ease in her presence, luckily, and was glad to have her on her team as a medic. after all, good habits would hopefully last a lifetime and stretching once or twice a week was indeed something she had considered as a good habit - even if it made her suffer a little bit. 

        “you know what?”, she asked, turning around to kneel on the mat, arms stretching over her head as she tried to reach for the sun, head lulling around on her shoulders. “i think we deserve a big cup of coffee from the café.”, she suggested with a raise of her brow, hoping the other would be just as excited as she was herself. “and a cookie, maybe.”

"As chaste as unsunned snow" Cymbeline I went out and found this "unsunned snow" car hood to write on. Today's is day 19 of #id2mars and day 78 of #makesomething365, "make up a name and a backstory for a character". I'd rather think about the owner of that car puzzling over that quote in English on his hood, or passersby / driversby wondering what this is about. It's my Idea of a happening ! Also looked for new Plays of Shakespeare to watch in Paris *-* #cymbeline #snow #snowquote #shakespearequote #puresnow #artiseverywhere #30daysofshakespeare #happening #white #30daychallenge (à Saint-Maur-des-Fossés)

E N T E R I N G  C O D E  N A M E … AGENT PURESNOW YOUR IDENTITY HAS BEEN CONFIRMED. WELCOME HOME, AGENT.

Agent Puresnow is enhanced and has been assigned to team FALCON & CROW. 

ACTION REQUIRED ;  Please follow and welcome your fellow agent.  

A demon has you and your team cornered. Your medic is down and you’re running out of energy. You notice that there is a way to escape but it would mean leaving your team. What do you do? Be honest. (agent answered all three, rest recorded below) 

RESPONSE RECORDED BELOW.

She stared at the interviewer, her crystal clear eyes reflecting the seriousness of her answer to the first question.

“I’ll stay, and unless I have a way to fend off the demon, I’ll sacrifice myself - simple as. Experience has taught me that some lives will be cut short, and there’s nothing we can do about it. To be fair, I may be strong enough to handle some of the fight and run away.  But whatever happens, multiple lives are worth more than one, aren’t they?  

Anyone…Even if they’re baby agents, they’re not worthless. They could turn into something much stronger than some of us.  We have no way of knowing.”

 You caught a fellow agent sneaking around areas they shouldn’t be in. This agent is a long time friend of yours and they haven’t done anything suspicious before this. Jinx has always said to report something like this though. What do you do? Be honest.

The second question was a difficult one.  Mending broken bonds of trust wasn’t one of Junghwa’s special talents, and distrust would cost her friendships sooner or later.

As much as she became used to being alone in her lifetime, the people she found at MEIA made her think that she could give others a chance again.  It was human nature to be surrounded by a community one could call home.  Though, what are friendships for if you’re bound to wither away, and are no longer able to experience them?

“What Jinx says, I must do. It would be foolish to give some people an exception because I’ve known them for a long time, wouldn’t it? Living in these times requires caution at every moment.  Any mishap, any traitor could lead to the destruction of humanity. I have full faith in Jinx’s ability to sort out…these misunderstandings.  Not every suspect is guilty, but all danger begins with suspicion.”

While hanging around in an area you are not authorized to be in, you overhear vital information that a higher up should hear. This would also mean admitting you were in the wrong place. What do you do? Be honest.

The third question was by far the easiest for someone with so little sense of self-preservation.

“I’m telling higher authorities.”  The scenario seemed a little unrealistic to Junghwa as she wouldn’t be caught dead putting her nose into things that are none of her business, but she had to answer it for the sake of the interview. “I’ll accept whatever punishment is dished out for my disobedience since rules are rules.  What’s the worst that could happen to me, anyway?”

The woman punctuated her sentence with a smile, thinking her zealousness and self-sacrificial tendencies must’ve seemed a little intense to the one doing the interviewing. The greater good was more important than her own life and Junghwa accepted it.  Unfortunately, her behavior couldn’t guarantee that others would never sacrifice themselves for her, but deep down she prayed that time would never come again.

The farthest seats away were the quietest, a little bubble of heaven far from the rumbling stomachs, resonance of dropped utensils, and idle gossip all expected from a café.

More often than not, Puresnow is near-silent company to workmates who sit somewhere in the middle of the tables, but on other days, she preferred to stay within the confines of her head. After all, mental discipline and focus are the key to balanced and unbothered living.

This time around though, she wasn't alone in the extremity of the room. Across from her, a young boy was devouring food she hadn't tasted in years: a tooth-rotting muffin, frowned upon by every health-conscious agent in the building. Puresnow was such an agent: health equaled performance, and performance equaled life or death, depending on the context. The muffin plate stood in sharp contrast to her 20% protein, 25% carbs, 10% healthy fats and 35% vegetables meal. She found herself staring a bit too long at the muffin as she calmly sipped a cup of black tea - nevermind the fact that Sero might catch her staring and judge her. Junghwa was his medic and so it was only natural for her to scold him, whether it's through words or slightly disappointed stares.

"How about preparing for missions through food, agent Zer0?"

Puresnow accepted the fact that this quiet morning would turn into a lecture, as expected of the nature of her job...

Casual Breakfast

((Open RP! :D ))

“Son, don’t you eat real food? I’m bound to rip one of those muffins ‘outta your mouth if I don’t see you down in the cafeteria today.” 

Sero was told the café lady was a kind and sweet old lady. Sero has yet to see this. He suspects she was informed of his habits of not wanting to eat what these people call ‘real food.’ Having lived his life out in the West Ward until just a few weeks ago, he was way more used to packaged goods as sustenance. It wasn’t his fault food without preservatives or copious amounts of sugar tasted weird. But MEIA was insistent on ‘healthy’ agents, thus the old lady on his ass about eating pastries.

Sero simply grumbled and sat in the farthest seat away to properly sulk with his morning coffee. The lady running the café sighs and tsks before turning to go back to her routine, sweetly calling out to her daughter as if she hadn’t just been nagging him. Finally in blissful silence, Sero enjoys the sugary blueberry muffin. Much better than eggs or salad or whatever the heck they had downstairs… 

These muffins were so good he’s half inclined to actually listen to the woman and show up in the cafeteria today.
