Standing at the back was the easiest part. She felt uncomfortable in the crowd, but she felt more comfortable with the stolen katanas on her back. That way she could actually protect herself. Her dark eyes scanned over the crowd. She was in her thieving gear with her hoodie and jeans in her backpack. She, of course, stood out among the rest considering she was dressed in a slight steampunk fashion, but she didn't care. The cloak hid her well enough. She gritted her teeth, her hand moving carefully over the spot where the implant was. This was a freaky ass place... She smirked. It was just her style. 

The curvy girl in front of them began talking and Shadow just rolled her eyes, leaning up against the nearest wall. Pulling out one of her knives, she began picking at the underside of her fingernails, only barely paying attention to the girl in front of all of them. The silver glinted in the limited lights and she thought back to when she first stole the set. It was five months ago, and she was doing a heist. She needed to get weapons to protect herself now that the police knew she was a thief. They only knew her as Shade or the Black Cloud. 

She had gotten into the weapons store no problem and managed to knock out the security cameras for a good half an hour. Unfortunately, there was no point to it though. As it turns out, the owner slept in his shop and he heard the door open. He had a pistol in his hand when he stumbled out of his bedroom and he was firing wildly. She had taken his confusion and grabbed the knife set. It was the only thing that she could grab before she heard sirens in the distance. She disappeared back out the door, but with the knife set under her arm. That was also the same night that she hit another weapons store, but this was an old, antique weapons store. That's how she got the katanas. She had been training with both on her own time in the passed couple months. She wasn't the best, but she could defend herself with ease. 

She took a deep breath and looked back over to the girl standing in the front. She narrow her eyes at her and shook her head, running her thumb over the edge of the blade. The girl was cute, but she seemed like a bitch. Shadow stared down at her knife, smirking as the girl asked for any questions. The chick couldn't have been much older than her, which is why she didn't take her very seriously. The young man standing near the front asked for the girl's name and Shadow just rolled her eyes. She could care less about anyone's names, as long as she got training and she was still allowed to be a thief. The girl was one of the nameless, most likely, an expendable, just like the rest of them. 

"Yeah, I have a question," Shadow said lazily, raising her voice from the back. She noticed a few glances from some of the other new recruits, but she ignored them. "Why is it that we had to do your master's dirty work? Is he too chicken to come out and do it himself?" Shadow honestly thought that they would send her back out to the streets if they didn't like her, a thing which she did not care about. She could already tell that she liked the streets, the stealing, the goodies, than being in here already. "And why the hell are you out here greeting us rather than your boss? You can't be much older than any of us, so obviously you're a student. There's no one else with you, which means that you aren't liked that much." Shadow tapped the tip of her blade against her chin. "What is your boss hiding and why is he hiding behind you?"
