Current Just because you can have 36 attacks per turn that threaten a crit on a roll of 14+ doesn't mean it's worth doing.

Isn't it weird how you can start a private conversation with yourself?

"We are nearly there, you can put me down now!" Liang exclaimed and tried to get down from Gen's shoulder. "Seriously! Puuuut me down already!" Gen just walked forwards like he didn't even hear her while continuing a little conversation with Shin. "Well after that I joined the MP and all that... Nice work, don't really like the whole filing reports stuff, but it gets the bills paid. So, how's the healing gig been treating you?" The earthbender tilted his head a bit.

Shin shrugged his shoulders and placed his hands in the pockets of his jacket - he had lent it back from Liang just so he'd have atleast something that looked a bit more formal. "Well... It's... I've traveled a lot - seen places, met new people... Made some money on the side." The waterbender smirked and glanced around. "It's that building over there, right?" He inquired while pointing at the right place.

Liang's face went beat red again - there were other people outside - most likely other guests - and there she was, being carried around on the shoulder of a goofy earthbender like some ferret! "Gen! Let me down at this instant or there will be consequences!" The tall earthbender just rolled his eyes and smirked. "Well, if you say so." He more or less tossed the former firebender off from his shoulder.

After gathering herself from the ground and getting most of the dust form her coat Liang straightened up. "Ok, I could have thought my choice of words a bit better there..." The trio approached the gathered people - atleast some of whom Liang recognized as the Water Dragons from earlier. "Heyyy! You guys had a nice match!" She exclaimed with notable excitement and glanced at both of her former team mates while whispering "Ok, one more pose for old time's sakes..."

Gen rolled his eyes and did his best again to remain very dis-interested looking, still he couldn't keep a small smile away from his lips. "Gen Gan-Jin" He bowed his head slightly and obviously mentally prepared himself for the pose. Shin was smiling his very open and charming smile as he swept his hair away from his face with his left hand in a notably over dramatic and well rehearsed manner. "Shin Yu." He lowered his hands to his side and gave a quick glance to Liang who quickly adjusted the prosthetic arm to rest on her hip. "Liang Xian." All three took quick deep breaths, stepped back and made a team pose that was rather goofy, but kinda awesome at the same time while exclaiming "We are the Leaping Lion-Turtles!" They held the pose until Shin lost his balance and fell on Liang - who in turn bumped against Gen... and the trio came crashing down to the ground. They all burst in laughter while Liang did her best to politely ask Shin to get off of her from between fits of laughter.
Kreel shook his head slightly as Ben began more or less barking orders - admittedly he found it rather amusing, especially when he added the little thought that had he himself been any other Commissar the sergeant would probably have gotten much more than he bargained for instead of just a little stern glance as he waited that the man had moved so he could properly test his communicator. The Commissar just rolled his eyes and touched the small earpiece. "Sergeant, I will have to remind you that I am wearing what appears to be the uniform of a Commissar - thus not 'breaking cover' might be a tad bit difficult for me." Despite the Sergeant's overall plan being a rather good one - a bit basic, but a good one - it seemed like there were very few members of the group that were following it - not that there seemed to be need for it as Zhevon arrived to the cafe with his contact.

Now, Davian was not much a man of luxury - he had met some nobility of different planets during his time, but had found them mostly selfish and self absorbed. Still... he had a card that could more or less buy anything. So he took a seat like any other fellow would, waited politely for the waitress like any other fellow would and ordered something to water his throat with. He was mid-way through his tea when the thought hit him and his fingers moved on his communicator again "...Silver, where did you run off to?"
I really liked the Tiger Ace mini campaign. It was so much fun.
I like this ^^ I may pop in.
"Well if it ain't the li'll Xian gal." A rather gruff voice spoke from behind Liang - a voice she hadn't heard in nearly half a year. The short woman turned on her heels to stare at the tall man who's black hair had a thick reddish-brown lock on the left temple which he keept away from his eye with a silver hairpin. His strong jaw and at least twice broken nose was just as comically twisted as Liang remembered it to be. Despite that she had to remark that Gen had remained just as handsome as ever - and he looked real good in the uniform of the Metalbending Police. "Gen?" The former firebender managed to utter as she was pulled in to a friendly - if a bit painful - hug.

The tall earthbender smirked and pointed himself with the thumb of his right hand. "That's me alright." The two began exchanging friendly little insults as they walked away from the arena towards Liang's small apartment. The trip wasn't very long, but it felt much longer than it was - mostly because they ran out of funny insults and they really did not feel like talking about the past at the moment. "You know, Liang... Shin's back in town." Gen remarked with a slightly teasing tone which caused the former team captain's face to go rather red. "R-really?" Liang managed to ask while doing her best to regain her composure. "Yeah... and he'd like to see yoooou..." Gen's teasing, sing song tone was silenced by a quick jab to the side. "H-hey! No need to get hostile li'll missy." He smirked and lifted the dark haired woman to sit on her shoulder like she was a ferret of some kind.

"O-oi! Let me down you... YOU!" Liang squirmed a bit and just got a little smirk in response from Gen. He was actually going to say something when a stream of water hit his face. "The pretty lady wishes to be walking on her own two feet, ruffian!" The assailant was a quite broad shouldered fellow - he actually seemed a bit top heavy due to his thin arms and legs. His warm blue eyes were fixed at the two as two fingers adjusted the shoulder length hair that partially covered the left side of his face. "Shin!" Liang squeaked with excitement and managed to wrestle herself down from Gen's shoulder. The waterbender barely had enough time to fix his most charming smile to his lips as the former captain of the Lion-Turtles more or less gave him what was something between a tackle and a hug. He quickly moved his hands on Liang's waist and lifted her off her feet. "Yes, ma'am - it's me."

The black haired woman giggled as she was spun around twice by the silly waterbender. "Oi! Y-you can put me down now. I need to get to my place to change some clothes and..." Before she had time to continue Gen interjected with "We'll tag along!" Shin chuckled and added just a bit sheepish "I-if that's ok with you captain." The little sheepish comment got a dopeslap from Liang. "I'm not a captain any more, silly." The former firebender poked out her tongue and giggled "But since you boys asked so nicely I guess you can tag along - atleast to my place."

The trio arrived to Liang's apartment and with some help from the two goofballs - since Shin was just so polite that he'd offer his help and Gen was just too stubborn to take a no for an answer - Liang was wearing the prosthetic arm of hers and the long red coat. "So is there a party of some kind then?" Shin inquired after massaging Liang's sore neck - after all he just couldn't say no when the firebender stared at him like a lost puppy. "Well... I don't know what it's all about, but that... Bolin guy... You know, this tall, has been in movies..." Gen rolled his eyes "Oh right! I know the guy! His brother was in the MP with me... or is... Haven't paid attention to those who are still working and those who are not."

Liang shook her head "You'd probably forget if you'd be fired... You'd just show up to work as usual and all that... Well, anyways... they are having a party and I've been invited." She sounded quite excited and the way she was looking at her two friends made the two men glance at each other. They knew their old captain had just came up with a plan of some kind - and for some reason they weren't quite sure if it was a good one this time. Shin sighed "Ok, we both know that little glint in your eyes... What's the plan this time?"

Liang could barely hold her excitement at bay as she made a goofy little pose - even taking the time to move the prosthetic in to a better position "The Leaping Lion-Turtles are going partying! Together! Again!" She tilted her head a bit to the side and smiled. "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?"

Shin shook his head a bit "I dunno... We kinda... uh..." Gen tried to hastily finish the pretty boy waterbender's sentence "...Have... things... Uh... Cabbages..." Liang tilted her head to the opposite direction "...Cabbages..?" She didn't quite sound convinced and could barely hold back a giggle. "Y-yes. Cabbages... a... night shipment of cabbages... Definately a night shipment of... yeah..." Shin nodded his head hastily. He had a noticeable difficulty to keep a straight face - admittedly Gen had the same problem. "Definately... an early night shipment... at this particular hour." The earthbender nodded.

The two both got playful little smacks on the backs of their heads and glanced at eachother like they had been sorely insulted. Shin fell on the floor like he had been hit with a hammer and the trio burst in to laughter as the waterbender collected himself from the floor. "We'll atleast walk you there - though only in one condition!" Liang blinked her eyes curiously and managed a puzzled "Whazzat?"

Shin and Gen took their places on both sides of Liang and smirked. Gen rolled his eyes and did his best to seem like he would have so much better things to do with is time, but Shin just smiled so annoyingly sweetly "Come on captain! Let's strike a pose!" Liang hesitated for a moment and shook her head while holding back laughter "I don't know if I can... W-we haven't done those in eight years and...." Gen patted the comparatively small woman on the head and smirked "You still got the hang of it." After a brief while the Leaping Lion-Turtles made one of their rather goofy victory poses.

Soon the trio was heading towards the agreed partying place. Gen had rather politely - and stubbornly - insisted that he'd carry Liang there, just like old times. The woman hadn't really gotten any choice on the matter as she was easily lifted from the ground and was now sitting on the tall earthbender's wide shoulder and pouting quite adorably.
@Lotta Pumpkins

I appreciate your criticism - finally someone gives it in a constructive and polite manner. I will admit that the Storm Bolter is perhaps a bit too much - originally I was going to opt for just a normal bolter - which too would of course have been a bit on the ridiculous side. Then again if one has played Dawn of War Dark Crusade the Imperial Guard commander of that game does have a storm bolter strapped to his arm and the arm isn't even mechanical.

I was thinking along the lines that the Storm Bolter is more a weapon for intimidation than actual combat - Kreel is a Commissar after all.

As for the melee weapon Kreel is hefting around... Well... I really have no proper excuse for that which I could use to make it fit lore wise when taking in to consideration the Imperium's stand on xenos artefacts. In all honesty I just wanted to make something a bit different, that's all.

As for the GRIM DARK... I have to agree we have a little bit too small amount of that thus far - though maybe most of the GRIM DARKER stuff happens on the battlefields and not in what one could consider an 'everyday situation'.
Liang mumbled and grumbled to herself while making her way out of the arena. She was annoyed about the fact that the match had been disturbed so damn much by the suddenly falling girl - though the match had been an exciting one all the way down to it's conclusion. It may not have been quite as exciting as some of the matches she herself had participated in, but it had been a good match. Both teams had worked amiably well.

Still in Liang's opinion the Leaping Lion-Turtles had been the best team in the whole league - after all they had dominated the arena for what... four years? Outside the arena she paused to catch her breath and stare to the distance. Memories from eight years ago flooded back in - memories she preferred to keep well locked up in the darkest, tiniest little corner of her mind. The former firebender shook her head and punched the wall next to her in annoyance - atleast the little pain in her knuckles made the memories go away and allowed her to concentrate a bit better.

With a little sigh she leaned against the wall and adjusted the collar of her blue jacket that had a thin white fur lining on it's large hood. She smiled a bit as she remembered the goofy smile of the jacket's original owner and actually let out a little giggle "I wish that damn goofball would be here to fix my sore neck, but no, Shin's seeing the world and getting loads of money for being a healer..." Liang covered her mouth to hide the giggle as more memories about her more goofier teammate popped in to her mind.
Aaaawesome! ^^
Sweet ^^
I kinda hope someone recognizes Liang as a sort of a former celebrity... that would be kinda funny.
