DaemosHundreds of rapidly moving figures were picked up by his scanner a short moment after Aren muttered the code words. Misha was deeply troubled by the timing of it all, but acted quickly, unhooking himself from the booth.
The way he encoded the message they should've taken at least another hour before they showed up around here, but seeing as they appeared before planned must mean that they had a secret he didn't know about.
By the time these soldiers reached their position, he already had spun around with his hands pointed at the squad of Tol'Shul jumping through the windows, his palms glowing with a swirling pale energy. Watching as Aren was tossed outside, and the escort from earlier breaking away from the group, he was left will very little choice but to remain beside the unnamed Yof'Kurr.
He really expected a more effective strategy from his brothers that were trained from birth to be "the perfect soldiers." What was the point of endangering themselves by jumping in range of their targets when they could just set the whole establishment on fire or blow it up? This sure isn't the strategy of a Lei'Loni, and if it was, he was rather disappointed to even be related by name.
Unleashing a stream of plasma and seeing the row of Tol'Shul fall, he detected no deflation in their numbers. In fact, more and more seemed to be coming every moment they wasted fighting. He made a silent curse, gripping his hands angrily at how the likelihood of their survival was quickly diminishing. He didn't think he'd need to extract the entire layout of the nearby sector, otherwise he'd done so when he was plugged in.
It was a little too late for that now.
Misha suddenly remembered a factor that would greatly increase their odds. Next to him was someone who probably knew of the surrounding area quite well.
He turned to the the large Yof'Kurr, "You don't happen to know of any secret escape routes, do you?"

Hello, there really isn't much to see here. :^D
In case you were wondering, yes, I drew my profile image. Do you like it? I think it has a depressing sort of beauty.
Disclaimer: I can sometimes be a little too honest, and my standards might be too high. People don't like that. But let it stand on record that I also view myself with the same light. I would not criticize others if I am not willing to take criticism myself. Be mature. Don't hold stupid grudges. If you've come here to scope me out, to find some shameful detail or quench some personal spite because my honesty upset you in some way, -- I'm sorry but there is nothing here for your desperate attempt at self-validation. I will settle the pettiness with an apology. Sorry. Happy?
I can't do anything more than that.

Even I didn't expect something quite like this... lol
May the dark gods have mercy on your brave soul during your journey.
Misha shifted his head down in silence to contemplate for a short moment. What the large Lei'Loni said was true; adapt or be killed. There was always a method that did not involve direct combat, he knew this. The principles of what he was trained to do from the start, the years of discipline and knowledge he absorbed on the Tol'Shul training grounds could hardly be forgotten. Even now, he could still recall the drills and protocols they had so determinedly taught him.
From his speech, it was confirmed he was put through a similar circumstance.
Still, he never saw another of his kind speak of such a thing as "belief." It was either possible, or impossible. Their minds could calculate through hundreds of factors within mere seconds, thus always able to come to a conclusion of percentages of success or failure. From the start, he knew the current plan had only a approximate 10% chance of working.
This disregard of sureness and inclusion of "belief" was what he found interesting about this one.
"I seek answers." Misha muttered, "I want to know why my very kin turned against me and my allies. To do that, I must cut a path to the center of where it all started, the "Re'Kelzan." Our Leader is the one responsible for the internal operations of our race, namely the deployment of elite Tol'Shul agents, thus he is the one who will have that answer. On my way towards his throne, I offered those who wish to make a change to come with me. You have quite the resolution to stand here despite my warnings, but now that I've told you my true purpose, do you still wish to stay?"

Actually when Draco posts, is technically when we have to move along, though there is a pretty lengthy period that would allow for all the others to join.
Misha lifted his head once it was revealed they would be relatively safe in this place because of the Yof'Kurr. Apparently garnering favors from the other races was what this one had been doing in its time of exile. He respected that at least the Lei'Loni made proper use of its time. There was still a clear stigma in his mind towards those banished, but seeing as he was among those who were "fallen", he'd have to learn to accept it soon enough. It seems this old Yof'Kurr would provide a great deal of knowledge of the necessary lifestyle changes, not only that, but also of a few connections around the city.
He would definitely be useful, but taking another scan of the way he presented himself, the Lei'Loni didn't seem to enjoy taking a life if not put into a position that forced such an act.
Misha made a low rumbling, an attempt at a sarcastic chuckle, "My partner indeed comes up with the most peculiar methods... and as or a plan, it isn't much other than a leap of faith. What you said a moment ago suggests that perhaps the information regarding your betrayal must also be forged. I am the same... though I have chosen to walk a path filled with vengeance. Foremost, I am a warrior. The only methods I know to get what I seek is through bloodshed."
Misha looked at the Yof'Kurr, "You have no need to involve with someone like me. You appear to have made plenty of contact and friends among the other races. They welcome you here. As I warned before, you still have the choice of walking away from here. Go far. This entire district will be swarming with the Vanguard and Tol'Shul by the next nightfall."

Does that mean I have to wait ten minutes or just post with others that would probably be ten minutes? XD
What I meant is that their appointed contact is supposed to show in 10 minutes in the RP. You don't have to wait, we have a back up to involve others even if they don't meet at the bar.
I think it's around 7k? I'm not too sure about the actual number.
If you meant how many times you can post, we can post in a reasonable amount in the time expected of 10 minutes.

Well, I posted. And stuff.
Misha didn't moved at first when spoken to. He didn't really expect to be identified outright, but didn't expect any less of this Lei'Loni. He's heard of it before. The revered "Loica" experiment that was supposed to be testing out the current core used in "Heavy Strike" class of Tol'Shul soldiers. As their name implied, they were armed with the largest weaponry capable of causing destruction that would bring down entire cities in a few hours.
Supposedly he had turned on his brothers, just as they claimed that Misha did. Perhaps he's approached because he also feels he had been betrayed? There was a great deal of questions he had, but mostly, having such a large Lei'Loni around, one that also seemed to have a reputation, was a bad way of attracting eyes towards the group. It was already troubling enough Lia and Aren decided to disregard their disguises and started acting so conspicuously. At least this part of town had little Lei'Loni presence, but if any bounty hunter heard of them, they'd be coming here at any moment to claim their lottery ticket.
He didn't lift his head when he muttered in a low, altered tone, "If you know who I am, it's best you walk away. They'll kill you too. An older model like you will face a deal of difficulty against the current ones."
