A tall woman, donning nothing more than a pair of jeans and a dark gray sweater emerges from the side door that was labeled "Do not Enter - Authorization Required" with a long winded yawn. She stretched her arms, and twisted her back a few times, her deep red eyes blinking a few times. There wasn't nearly enough time to finish the day's mission planning, and what's left was going to be nothing short of "winging it." Their mission this time wasn't exactly a walk in the park when it came to safety, but that was almost a good thing for her. Danger was an element that made anything more exciting. She walked down this hall and that, passing through sections of the white building until she came into a room that had no door at all. Above the entrance was a sign that read "Common Room."
If it wasn't obvious, this was part of the facility where agents would take a break and rest before going off to do whatever next. It wasn't nearly as bleak as the rest of the huge structure, and there were many tables with coffee machines among other refreshments, along with couches and sofas allotted around the fairly big room. Hell, there were even a few large monitors on the walls for agents to watch shows and such. Though, she wasn't interested in any of that and proceeded right towards the fridges, opening one up and scanning the contents thoroughly.
Her eyes squinted when her search took a little too long, "I could've sworn I put one in here the other day..." she muttered irritably.
But just then, her lips lined into a grin as she reached out and picked out a large bottle, "Ah! There it is."
She uncorked it with her hands and took a sniff, taking pleasure in the bitter stench of alcohol, then merrily taking a long swig. Releasing a sigh of satisfaction, she proceeded out of the room in a careless stride.
Shortly coming into one of outer rooms towards the main transference platform, she noticed a sketchy-looking man was sitting idly on a chair. The woman breathed once, immediately recognizing the smell of smoke, assuming the box he was tapping was the cigarettes. She bore a slight grin, deciding that he was the new addition she's been told about, she sat down on the chair right beside him. A man like that was bound to bring trouble, and keeping other members on their toes was going to be interesting to watch. Of course, if things were to get sour, she'll have to do something. But until then, she was going to at least test the waters with the man.
"Hey there." she said, looking at him for a long moment before looking down and pointing her bottle over, "Oh, where are my manners. Would you like a drink?"
...
The man pulled back to a stand, his eyes glancing around rapidly, "Well... when rifts don't work... that's a bad sign. I thought there was a good 30 minutes before the Passage...?"
He didn't wait for a response before placing his back against the wall, "I'd suggest you use this, no questions. And for the sake of our lives, don't step out of the line." he said as a small cloth bag was produced from a burst of twisted nothingness in his hands. It seemed to be filled with a loose solid, and sagging slightly in his palms.
He grabbed some of the contents and dribbled it over his head, revealing it to be some sort of white powder. Getting another handful, he tossed it in a circle around the two, creating a sort of perimeter. The man breathed slowly, as if he was scared the sound was going to reveal their positions.
The purple haze in his eyes faded for a moment and he looked at Reynar with a clear concern, "By any chance, did you happen to have learned how to kill demons when you were alive?"
