An invitation to kill(IC FT, Closed, JSA)

"No my people and I only need to eat once every 3-10 days." Hallen replied. "Our slow matabolizm also helps us live to 300+ years old."

[Hornopolis]

The student turns, and says "Zalka Samde and Belora Vem." She looks out on the crowd of students, and points. "Thats them there. The table at the far end." At the said table was two girls. One was obviously younger, as she had a more non-developed stature, and was talking nonstop. The other was a bit older, and was deeply interested in a data-pad, partially ignoring what her friend was saying. Both wore the customary robes, but due to the more liberal nature of the society, they had them open and had custom clothing under. The younger one had bright, colorful and glowing clothing underneath. She was also wearing a gold tiara like hat, with jewels encrusted into it. The older was wearing all black, with some hints of purple and gray. She also had earrings and several other rings, including her nose, "eyebrow" and lip.

the girl shuttered a little bit, and mumbled "I don't know which is scarier."

Dizzy smiled and thanked the students before leaving to meet her bunkmates, as she approached she senses the Ekilionite near, <Dumb lizard.> she says in her head, "Hello ladies, I am Dizzy, I was told you two will be my bunkmates, may I sit?"

Putting her food down, she said "Oh... awkward..." shuffled her feat some, and said "Well, thats what our diets do as well. With a mainly plant diet, we live twice as log as most humans. to arround 180. Irnocally though, we pause age from around 25 to 138. Odd really. But what can you do." She was trying to break the conversation off food, and was having little luck at it.

"Fight mostly" Hallen said gruffly. "Until I am 70 I am not allowed to start a family and own a house. 35 more years until then. In Ekilion during your first 70 years you either help your family with there job (farmers/miners) take apprentice ships (government/movers) or serve with the army."

"Huh. From 1 to 13, we learn basic skills. From 13 to 25 we learn our major skills. Then from 38 to 45 we are allowed to do whatever we want. Although often that includes a lot of bad habits. Won't get into that." She twitched at the thought. She looked around Hallen's back and said "You know, rumors were flying that the Ekilionites were dragon people. That and that the Kush were cats. Obviously fake, but, you know the size of the galaxy.:

"Ohh no the rumours are true" Hallen said. "The Dragon Kings only make up a small percent of our population and they do not need training." He took a breath and continued "They live to be over 3000. They came from one of the nearby planets and gave us our long-range space technology."

[Nua Gealach]

Lokis Von thought for a moment, and said "Dragon Kings... Sounds like a fantasy novel." She looked at a data pad, and said "we still have time before the next class. If you want, I can show you the bunk room. Its pretty plai, but cozy."
---
Zalka Samde, the one with her face in a data pad, looks up a brief moment, and says quietly, "Well, your not a cat." She looked back at her pad and said "sit where you want."

the other girl, Belora Vem, got up, and hugged her. "Welcome to Albatross! I'm Belora, this is Zalka. Don't mind her though, she's a bit grumpy because of... well, just because." Zalka growled a bit at that, but didn't move. Belora on the other hand, almost jumped up into the air. "Please, sit! Its so good to meet you! Dizzy right? Thats such a great name! Are you from the Nubian Expanse? Whats your favorite color? Are you--"

Zalka cut her off, "Bel! Stop it before you choke! Again!"

Zalka cut her off, "Bel! Stop it before you choke! Again!"

Dizzy smiles, and pulls two ivory discs with Malay (Malay is my written and spoken language) written across it, she sat and handed the two the ivory discs, "Thank your for your warm welcome, here, gifts from the Nubian Expanse, the words mean Friendship." Dizzy smiles, "Yes, I am glad to meet you two as well, Dizzy is my nickname, my realname is much harder to pronounce," she coughs, "I am from the Nubian Expanse, and my favourite colour is white, the colour of royalty." Dizzy smiles and moves her Zebra skin over her Cheetah skin, making her posture more relaxed, "And to answer your statement Zelka, what a beautiful name by the way, my mother was a feline, my father was Nubian, so I came out Nubian."

Lokis Von thought for a moment, and said "Dragon Kings... Sounds like a fantasy novel." She looked at a data pad, and said "we still have time before the next class. If you want, I can show you the bunk room. Its pretty plai, but cozy."

"Shure" Hallen replied. He knew that on some planets Males and Females weren't allowed to see each other let alone sleep in the same room. On Ekilion there were no such reservations. The military itself was almost split 50/50 between male and female and Hallen had slept in the Barracks room with 20 men and 25 women.

OOC: Ekilionites are extremely communal.

Belora held it up and saiod "Whats it made of? Is it fragile?" She kept admiring the white stone, and wouldn't stop asking questions until she ended up having to breath.

Zalka, on the other hand, was a bit more relaxed, and simply said "Cool. Thanks." She took out a little loop from her pocket and put it next to the stone. Two small blue ines came from the ring, and when she held the ring, the ivory was attached. She tied it to her necklace, and let it swing. Ignoring Belora, she said "So, what brings you to this little piece of Nua Gealach? training? Diplomacy? espionage?"

Standing, Lokis said "come on. Were in A wing, past the north doors." She motioned for him to follow, and made for the doors, some people saying hi as she passed.

Hallen followed her out the door looking at the walls around them. He wondered how he would do agianst the little tikes during the melee training.

OOC: Ok logging off now don't do the melee training without me.

Zalka, on the other hand, was a bit more relaxed, and simply said "Cool. Thanks." She took out a little loop from her pocket and put it next to the stone.

Ignoring Belora, she said "So, what brings you to this little piece of Nua Gealach? training? Diplomacy? espionage?"

"Your welcome," she pauses, "I came here to learn the ways of an assasin priest so I can better understand the Gealachian peoples better."

[Nua Gealach]

Zalka's eyes narrowed a bit, and Belora quieted down. "Its Nua Gealachian. If you really want to learn about us, its NUA Gealachian. Some would rough you up for saying gealachian." she sighed and said "Gealachians were our 'ancestors'. They used to have an empire, but that fell hundreds of thousands of years ago. They had a smaller one only about ten thousand years ago. They were much like Humans, only crossed with our own people. They oppressed us, for 'worshiping' the moon and sun, for being colorful, for having castes. Anything they could think of. They fell due to a desiease that only came upon the carnivores--of which they were-- of the planet. Served em right."

"Oh I am terribly sorry Zalka, I did not mean to offend, almost everyone in the Nubian Expanse calls your peoples the G word, I will refrain from the usage of that term, anyway, how are the rooms in the dormitory? Comfortable? If not thats fine, I live a very Spartan lifestyle."

[Nua Gealach]

Zalka laughed, and said "You don't have to not use the word, just don't call us it. And what is a spartan?"

Belora chimed in, and started blabbering on about the dorms. "They are actually really nice! Ours is a three person room, so each of us gets a third. The entire room is a circle cut into threes, each having a bed, a dresser, a small closet, a table, a lamp, a shelf..." She kept listing on and on until she reached the last item "...and each has a small shrine."

Sparta, Sparta is a city on a pennisula in our only ocean, we call it a Nubian lake although its the largest, and only ocean on Ashur, the city of Sparta is a polis, or city-state that lives autonomous from the rest of the Aristocracy, they beleive that you should keep only what is needed in a household, therefore the term "You are quite the Spartan" can refer to being a great soldier or just live without luxuries, the Spartans are also the best warriors in the whole of the Nubian Expanse, they teach us what we need to know, I brought a Spartan Sheild here, the shield has saved my life fifty times over, Belora, you might like it because of the picture on it, but maybe not," Dizzy sips some water and continues, "What would I do with the shrine, is it for one specific belief? Or could I use it for my own beliefs?"

[Ekilion]

"So Lokis how much longer till we reach the room" Hallen said after what felt like 5 minutes of walking.

(You stopped posting stuff related to Hallen at the top of the page)

[Nua Gealach]

OOC: Sorry Ek.

IC: Belora thought for a moment, and said "No, I'm you could use it. it's rather simple actually. Just a stone table alter with imprints on the moon and sun in them, and other small designs. Just for meditation. I'm sure it could be transformed."

Zalka, however, was thinking about the Spartans. "Life without luxuries..." She thought for a second, then shuddered. "Thanks but no thanks. I couldn't live without some of the second necessities."
---
Lokis stopped at the door that was marked A-14. Using a key around her neck, she opened the door, which then revealed two doors. She opened one, and on the other was a key on a small hook. She pointed and said "Thats your part of the room there. This is a two person room, so its a bit bigger than others. Kinda simple (refer to my last post for whats in it). Thats your key. Best to keep it around your neck. I need to get my stuff for my next class, then we can wait. All of A Block trains together."

"The Spartans live with only whats necassary, I believe I have said that, I for one could not live in a Spartan society, one reason is that they kill Spartan babies that have deformities, its just unnatural, but they have shaped our military, so we let their ritual happen, when we get to the bunk I can show you some pictures of Ashur and some Spartans, if you want of course."

Hallen took the key but instead of putting it around his neck he stuck it in his knapsack. He then closed it and he knew it was safe the forcefield behind the zipper would keep anyone from prying it open. He walked around his room and saw it as a fairly well equiped room. After he finished looking around he walked back out, locked the door, and waited for Lokis.

[Nua Gealach]

Zalka nodded, and said "We better go get ready for class then" She stood, and grabbed Belora, who was still rambling on about the school.
---
Lokis exited her room with a knapsack filled with books, and in hand two more books. She handed the two in her hand to hallen, and said "Those are the two books you'll need for your next classes. First one is 'History and Culture' and the second is 'Diplomatic Solutions'. After that, its vehicle training, where today we learn to fly Outriders . And finally dinner. You got all that?"
