The Depths of Deception

Shuo sat up quickly in his bed. He looked around and saw blackness around him. But when he looked towards the window he saw the continuing bustle of the city. He also noticed the sun was not up yet. He began getting fully out of bed in the moonlight and changed into gray-blue exercise clothing. On his shirt it said SA in black lettering. He checked the data pad one more time and made sure that the gym was actually on the floor above them. He made his way upstairs and began a work out routine he had used for decades at this point. It was rigorous enough for him to have made up for the last two days of inactivity that he had. It was essential to Shuo to stay on top of such things. It always had.

After a couple of hours the sun had risen and Shuo was finished. On his way back to his suite just before he opened the door he smelled the seacrawlers. But where would they get those? He thought to himself. He began attempting to trace the source of the smell. It lead him to Shiva's and Rareth's suite. He had only really talked to either of them a little. He guessed Shiva was somewhat apprehensive towards him, which to be fair made sense. He was her commanding officer for the time being. Though he still had no idea what to make of the Rahn'masser. He opened the door to the suite and entered and asked. "Who made sea crawlers?"

Also it would be nice to know what suite everyone is in. Seeing as how if ashely slept in the hummingbird that would make it so only one other person would be in Shuo's suite.

Fun fact: Masulu hangovers don't last as long and aren't as fierce. This is due to their body storing extra water in their head (see head spike). This is part if the reason as to why their drinks are so strong :p

Shuo had for the most part begun staring off into nothing and just paying attention to the people around him conversing. He had read as many of their dossiers of course especially the merc's. Though some of the Rothian's profiles read very similar to his own. Nothing but a name and some things earlier in their lives. He also found the conversation between the Dirophyds and Humans. They out right didn't like not having their weapons which prompted him to crack a smile. Then he heard Shiva, the question about her reason for joining. He wondered if she had actually read Shiva's dossier or not. But then her question came,.

He snapped out of his gaze and looked over at them. He paused for a moment, he needed to choose what he said here instead of his usual answer. "Yes, I'am. I was promoted during the war. I suppose they thought I was good at something before the war and even better during." For a second he paused. How many Shuo? Do you even know anymore? "I'm curious as to why you were inducted into the agents of the Rahn'masser though. From what I've seen you guys are rather hard to kill." Shuo's eye twitched but his face remained as controlled as it was before he said it. The damn twitch was going to kill him one day.

EliteCommander said
Heh, doors. With Rareth, it doesn't matter what it is. She'll leave it closed, then get through anyway.

Op. Rito plis nerf.

The Depths of Deception

Could probably just go ahead and skip to the day of the briefing in the morning. Just to give a quick summary of where everyone ended up.

The Depths of Deception

Shuo wasn't terribly surprised when Rareth suggested leaving the hallway. As everyone filled into the living room through the door he noticed the suit again. It bothered him that he appeared to need the suit to live. There were really only one other group he knew of that was like that. Regardless he went and sat down on one of the Masulu sized chairs. He wasen't that concerned about Shiva finding one as she was rather....short. One thing though he noticed as he looked over the group was the lack of proper human military. The only one he actually knew was "coin" as she called herself. The mercenaries were very disheartening considering what a poor state the human military must be in if most of their best fighters have left them. He seriously began to wonder if they could handle another war.

When Shuo heard talk of temperature though he was slightly amused. He knew that being in the temperature that they liked would either make him pass out quickly or kill him. He found it funny however that the reverse was also true." I figure there are about 12 rooms between us all. So unless we all decide we're afraid of the dark we should have plenty of room." He said leaning back into the chair.

The Depths of Deception

Oh god now Shuo is in awkward hell limbo.

The Depths of Deception

Would only really when he opened the door.

EDIT: to clarify, suite temp is infact diffrent to room.
