After everything was set up, Ambrose was one of the first to break off from the group. He needed the rest, needed to get away from all the craziness of their situation. He felt a twinge of guilt whenever his thoughts wondered to Caleb, a part of him felt obligated to be there for his recovery. But he could never bring himself to do it. There was jsut a wave of conflcited emotions blocking him from going forward with Caleb. Instead for the past few days Ambrose has just been burying himself in his schoolwork, catching up in the classes he missed and homework. He still remained incredibly isolated those days, talking to barely anyone. It had reminded him a lot of the time when Caleb had gotten hurt the first time. Ambrose had shaken his head at the thought when it had hit him, a bit disappointed in his habits to be a complete introvert.

He was one of the first to get the information from Morgan finally. They had spoken late at night when Morgan approached him and revealed the location. Ambrose didn't know how Morgan had it, and he didn't want to. But the location was nothing like he expected. Ambrose turned over the facts in his head, trying to wrap his head around it. Apparently the last knife was on campus, at least technically. It existed in apparently long abandoned tunnels under the campus, a maze-like system. Except the kicker was that it was being held in a different dimension, one that was adjacent and overlapping with ours. It apparently coexisted with ours, and though serious magic would be needed to take an item from this dimension, it was not unheard of. The information was spread throughout the group and plans were discussed, but right now Ambrose had down time.

He was working on a painting, something he didn't get to do as often as he liked. Stepping back every so often to tilt his head and examine it. The canvas was horizontal and showed a bloody scene. It may have been a reflection of the party incident, but it was much more abstract and instilled more of a cold fear then the visceral shock Ambrose had experienced.

He was in the middle of pacing his room back and forth when he noticed a text sent by Caleb about an hour ago. He scooped up his phone, and examined the text. Ambrose paused, a bit afraid of what it meant but eventually he gained the nerve to reply.

Yeah, meet me in the campus garden?
Marcus listened with a slight smirk as the doctor carefully explained why he was staring at the necklace. He murmured a response but the conversation was over as the shuttle had finally made it's landing. Marcus was one of the first people as it shuttered to a stop.

The male clamored out at the first opportunity, quite clumsily too. He took a deep breath once he was out of the way of entrance of the shuttle. Looking over the horizon of the planet, it was beautiful to him. Marcus patted his pockets for some kind of keepsake. He had his revolver, but Marcus had already decided he was dying with that gun in hand. He had his device, CR3-DL, though it was not nearly as useful now, Marcus couldn't bear leaving this behind either. It was only after deep digging in his pockets did he find an item that he had most of his time growing up.

Marcus wandered a bit away from the shuttle, examining the empty casing of a bullet in his fingers. It brought up a lot of memories, a lot of which Marcus looked back at fondly despite most of them being crimes. But, still, a part of him thought it would be better leave those behind.

Now resolved on what he was leaving behind, Marcus looked up and continued forward for a suitable resting place for the bullet casing.
Marcus stood by the group, barely listening to what the captain had to say as he was looking him up and down. The centipede-like body may have repulsed others, but for Marcus he couldn't help but be fascinated. So he shamelessly gawked half the time, though it was not out of disgust.

Pulling loose strands of dark hair out of his eyes, Marcus scanned the group of shuttle one. None of them he had much interaction, and barely remembered anybody's name. Marcus had been quite the extrovert with many of the crew members, joking and sharing drinks. Yet there was still a distance between Marcus and the rest.

He pulled himself into the vessel, right behind the medic. He was grinning from ear to ear, as he took his seat. Though he did notice the medic staring creepily intensely at a trinket in his hand. "Hey fella," Marcus greeted, a slight drawl to his voice. "You leaving that here?"
Marcus started to grow uncomfortable as the first few seconds of silence passed. Instead of a response, he was met with an intense stare as if the orc was deep in thought. Finally the awkward moment was cut off abruptly when the orc stood up and walked away, mumbling something Marcus couldn't make out over the rumbling engine. Marcus wasn't sure what to make of the encounter, deciding to laugh and shrug it off.

The male straightened up and went to the front of the deck as the Stone Turner pulled down to the planet. Holding onto the railing, he peered over the edge to try and make out what he could. Marcus was vaguely aware of the tradition for Trozzk, hearing other recruits discuss it, though he wasn't sure what he wanted to leave behind. The young man was nearly vibrating with excitement to get down to Trozzk. Besides double checking to make sure he had his revolver, Marcus was ready to descend with the rest of the crew.
Sorry about the delay, on a road trip and didn't have internet till I got the hotel D:
I'm excited to see the roleplay to get going!!
The dark-haired male picked his way through the small crowd of the crew members. Marcus was one of the new recruits as well, and Everytime they hopped to a new plane, a surge if adrenaline shot through him. He thought he would never grow tired of watching the spectacle.

Marcus held tightly to the railing, watching intensely with a wide grin as they took off. He heard the exclamation from the lookout, which he joined as well, which came out more like a whooping sound. After the initial wonder wore off Marcus glanced around him, scanning the crowd. He definitely saw some interesting figures.

But he was shaken from his thoughts once he noticed some muddied water by his boot. He followed the trail to see the janitor, cleaning up a mess. Honestly he had forgotten the guys name, but he seemed nice enough. Marcus approached, a bit cautiously and knelt down next to the orc.

"Hey bud, need some help there?" He tilted his head and flashed his award winning smile. "You a newbie too?" He asked, hoping to connect on some level. Truly, Marcus was still not quite used to all the different races of humans. He tried to keep an open mind, he definitely didn't have a right to judge.
Ambrose seemed to be cooling down as soon as Morgan left the room, thinking with a clearer head. He rejoined the group of others, glancing between them. "Sam, I hate that rat, but don't kill my roommate." He said with a note of humor, glancing at her with a half smile. Ambrose listened carefully as the others chime in, and didn't even notice Caleb staring at him until everyone else did.

"Wha-me?" He blinked at Caleb's response, "I mean I don't know..." Ambrose didn't like the sudden position of power, and he didn't understand why Caleb even cared what he thought after Ambrose had spoke to him back at the forest. He felt a ting of guilt thinking back at it. "I... I don't think we can afford to waste time. This is the fastest way. Morgan is a little rat, but I don't think he is interested in bloodshed or hurting people just for the sake of causing pain." Ambrose spoke slowly, thinking through the decision himself. Finally, Ambrose shrugged and looked back over the rest of the group. "We should just do it and get it over with."

There were grunts of approval and some murmurs of concern, but everyone was on the same page. Ambrose pulled out his phone, texting Morgan their approval and to meet them back at the room as soon as possible.
@Dredigan Hey, sorry about that! Totally misread the tone of the RP D:
I'll edit him ASAP
Ambrose stared at Morgan in disbelief, and even took a step forward as if he was going to throw a punch. Jeremy thankfully held him back, grabbing his shoulders to keep him from advancing. "Listen, you all don't need to be so sour about this. It's not blackmail! It's a trade and we can both come out happy." Morgan smiled at all the angry glares from the people in the room. Ambrose couldn't help but be reminded of Codal by Morgan's proposal. Ambrose was tired of trades.

"Forget it. We'll find it without your help." He spat at Morgan, who's smile faltered. A couple of the group protested at Ambrose's statement, chiming in.

"We need that last knife!"

"We have to think about the sake of everyone else, we don't want what happened at Sam's party to happen again...."

Ambrose glanced around the room, looking for some kind of back up but finding none. But even had to admit, they needed the information and as soon as possible. His own personal feelings had to be put aside. Ambrose huffed and crossed his arms, stalking to a corner of the room to sulk.

"Anyways," Morgan continued, standing up from his spot by Caleb's side, addressing the room. "What I want from you all is access to the forbidden texts, yes yes I know only masters are allowed to them, but I think we can make an exception." He glanced back at Caleb, "And I know you can get that arranged." Morgan turned back to the group, "Second, I'm gonna need any and all my supplies for spells, or classes, paid for and delivered at my request." The slender male paused to assess the room for a moment, everyone was calm albeit begrudgingly so. "I'm going to keep my last request for a rainy day, which means, binding Caleb into a contract. This contract entails that any point in time I may have him complete one request, and he cannot refuse or sabotage this request." Morgan smiled widely once more, especially at Ambrose fuming in the corner.

"Well, I'll let you discuss. And no, there will be no negotiations. I'll give you two hours to complete arrangements and contact me to accept the deal." Morgan made his way to the door of the infirmary room, confidently, he flashed another sweet smile before slamming the door behind him.
Ambrose listened to the rest of the Headmaster's speech, despite looking him up and down with suspicious eyes the words resonated with him. He couldn't get them out of his mind even long after he had left. For a while after Ambrose sat in the waiting room, until finally in the early morning he forced himself back to his dorm room. It felt strange to return there, like it wasn't really his, like it belonged to a different version of Ambrose that didn't exist anymore.

Ambrose didn't look for Morgan, didn't want to see the sharp blue gaze. He headed straight for his bed and collapsed on it. It didn't take long for him to fall into a deep and dreamless slumber. And before he knew it, sunlight was streaming through the window. Ambrose shot up with a gasp, realizing he had slept far into afternoon. His phone was flooded with messages, and Ambrose jumped out of bed and got ready as fast as he could. He hadn't even thought about attending class.

Reading through a couple of the messages, Ambrose gathered the group was meeting up in Caleb's infirmary room. He was the last one in, panting as he closed the door behind him. "Sorry, I overslept." He breathed as he pushed through Jeremy and Ariana. He froze when he saw Morgan sitting in a chair by Caleb's bedside.

"Nice of you to finally join us." The blonde said with a sneer. Ambrose looked around the room in bewilderment, trying to find an explanation to why Morgan would be here of all people. "I have information you all need." Morgan continued, cutting off Ambrose who had just opened his mouth to exclaim in anger.
