(((OOC: It's a rainy day in London and there isn't much happening at the Branch)))

"God I hate rainy days," said Rachael, yawning. "What about you Clive?"

Clive was a handsome guy. He was 6'2", with light brown hair and blue-gray eyes that sparkled. Problem with Clive was that he never talked much. Rachael knew Clive since they were children, growing up as neighbors. When he was younger, he liked to play tricks on her, but as the years went by, Clive became more reserved as a man. Rachael loved him dearly, they had been going out for almost 7 years... so naturally she was quite used to him.

"It doesn't bother me, really..." Clive said looking at her. "Are you going on a mission today?"

"Not that I know of," she said thinking. "But I hope if I do go out, that it's not raining..."

"It's Britain!!! It's always raining you idiot!!!" Clive bopped Rachael on the head.

Even though she was 5'7", she was still short enough to Clive that he could easily smack her on the head. Not only was she tall and slim, but she was a beautiful woman with long, sandy blonde hair and big blue-green eyes. She was very popular in the branch and worshiped by all the males. But Clive never showed a hint of jealousy, this made her mad sometimes. Did he even care about her at all??? she would think. She DEFINITELY got jealous when all those twits hit on Clive, but luckly he's such a cold fish that most girls run away crying. And if there was a particularly stubborn one, Rachael had ways of taking care of them...

"You didn't have to hit me, i was just wishfully thinking..." she looked up. "Oh, is that Hanako coming this way?"


***OK Time!!!!!! You're next!!!!!***

(yup!! here and ready!!)

Hanako looked out of the window. Rain and rain and rain and more rain. Well, it was England afterall...

Moving foward along the corridor, she readjusted the glove that went over her right palm. She felt her anti-akuma underneath, apart of her, forever.

She looked up, seeing the head of the science squad, she looked down quickly. He was known to be moody and had often scolded her on many details.

She bowed and politely greeted them both.

(Hiya! Here to rp!)

Rachael jumped to Hanako's side and gave her a big slap in the back!

"Hiya Hana-chan!!!!!! How ya doing???" said a hyper Rachael.

"I thought you hated rainy days Rachael??" said Clive. "So why you so hyper? Just stay quiet and stop violating Hanako already!"

He turned to acknowledge Hanako, "How are you doing Hanako?"

Hanako jumped at Rachael's sudden gestered and let out a silent yelp. She rubbed her back at bit then immediatly returned to contemplating with excessive interest the floor.

when she heard Clive adress her she flushed.
"I-I am quite fine, sir. A-And you?"

"I'd be better if someone didn't kick around in her sleep!!" Clive looked at Rachael. "Honestly, i'm gonna invent a system to strap you down into the bed if you can't control yourself!"

Rachael did an impish grin and stuck her tongue out at Clive.

"Yeah," Clive said. "Real mature! Oh by the way, Hanako. Are you prepared to go out on another mission? Especially after what happened the last time?"

"A-ah. I guess so. But really, i dont think im of any use at all, my anti-akuma weapon is just a shield, and its not even powerful. i can barely stand agains a lv 3 akuma. I cant even injure them. and sometimes, they have the power to penetrate my shield. I-I could even protect my own comrades! what am i for, why was i born an exorcist, if all im useful for is weighting the others down!!"

Hanako stopped, realizing the look on Clive's and Rachael's face.
"A-ah." she flushed. "I-Im sorry, i started monologuing again..."

She went back to intensively observing the floor.
"When will the next mission begin?"

"Actually," started Rachael in serious mode. "There hasn't been an announcement yet for one. I wouldn't want to go out anyway with this weather!"

"You have no choice in the matter," said Clive. "You're an Exorcist! You go where you're told!

"And Hanako," he said. "Don't be so unconfident! If you hate yourself and what happened... change yourself to be a person who doesn't have regrets. I'm off to the lab, I'll see you both later."

Bowing, Clive took his leave of Rachael and Hanako.

"Well, he didn't have to be so insensitive!" huffed Rachael. "Don't listen to him Hanako-chan, you're still young! Things happen!!!"

Hanako bowed politely as Clive left.
and then silence fell again.

then her stomac started growling. she started at it guiltily as her face turned red.

"A-ah, i havent eaten breakfast yet..."

"Well... Why didn't ya say so!!!!" Rachael said, slapping Hanako in the back. "I haven't eaten either, have breakfast with me! I WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!"

Rachael had an evil look in her eye, the way she always does when she tries to cource someone into giving in to her demands. It was always better to do what rachael said than to suffer her wrath!

Rachael forcefully grabbed Hanako and led her away! (((is this too much?))) @.@

(no, its fine. its just kinda sad, RPGing with only 2 ppl~~ i cant wait till we get more members and all...)

(is it okay if I join the RPG now? I haven't got any permission @.@ )

(((Hahaha.... sorry..... but i'll give you temporary permission until nessa gives you the offical okay!... ;) )))

Rachael forcefully dragged Hanako into the cafeteria to eat breakfast. Racheal always liked to start the day off with a huge stack of pancakes and a glass of orange juice.

After grabbing her breakfast, she looked for 2 empty seats... She soon found a table with 2 chairs next to an older, long-haired man.

"May i take these seats?" she politely asked.

((This sets you up revolver or time...... which ever want to go next))

((Thanks Sexe :) ))

"Yes, you may..." he replied and saw Rachael plate, "Geez, you took so much pancakes... I think your stomach will get stuffed, young lady," he said with a slight smile.

((Sorry if I'm not to good at this @.@ ))

((Don't worry!!! Nobody's perfect their first time!!!))

"Oh don't worry about me!" said Rachael. "I can eat way more than this! I usually eat double on mission days. I wonder why it's so slow today?"

Rachael looked at the exorcist that offered her seat and realized she never introduced herself.

"By the way, I'm Rachael! Rachael Hart! And my friend here is Hanako Mana. We're both exorcists!!!"

((omg, i feel like i havent been here forever...im soo soo soo srry...))

Hanako looked at the man curiously while silently eating her pancakes.
"You...youre an exorcist too, arent you?"

"Yes, I'm an exorcist too. My name's Lang... It's such a pleasure to meet you two." he smiled again.

"By the way, did you two hear about the Akuma presence in underground railway?" now, he said with a serious glance.

"WHAT?" shouted Rachael. "How the heck could Clive NOT tell me?!?"

Rachael was livid. How could her boyfriend not inform her of an Akuma presence. Her body shook in anger at the idea of this opportunity passing her by.

"THAT'S IT!!!!!" She pointed to Lang and Hanako. "You two! Come with me... we're gonna get that Akuma! Let's go talk to Clive!"

Rachael stormed out of the cafeteria, leaving behind her stack of pancakes, barely touched. When Rachael fails to finish a meal, you know she's in a foul mood. No longer was her mind on her stomach, it was now focused on revenge (and possibly beating Clive to a pulp).

"Lang...... fill me in on the details...." She said without turning back, as she walked straight towards the command room.

A new recruit was talking to Komui about his first mission. The boys name was Kei Hinoko. He looked around the command room with sparkling eyes. So this is dads work place....Its nice.... There was some foot steps echoing in the corridor. Maybe three people by the sound of it. They seemed in a hurry to get here. Did something happen?

(Er...I think there's no Komui in this RPG...)

Lang pulled out his cigar and ignited it. He look very calm.

"Just calm down Rachael... This is not as easy as you thought. I think Clive don't want you to get into trouble. This case is still in progress. All we can do now is be patient."

((Komui doesn't exist in our RPG... so we'll just overlook this, btw... my character Clive is the Head of the Science department, so i'll go ahead and edit your entry to Clive's name instead, since he has Komui's position! ;) ))

"I don't care Lang... he should have told me!" Rachael spotted Clive up ahead in the distance talking to a young boy.

"CLIVE!!! HOW DARE YOU!?!" Rachael ran at him yelling at the top of her lungs. "How dare you not tell me about the akuma???" she was out of breath.

"I love you too sweetie," Clive said cooling and sarcastically. "I was talking to Kei Hinoko here about the case actually. I was gonna send for you as soon as i was done gathering information, but i was sidetracked."

Clive noticed the other exorcists with Rachael. "Oh... good morning Lang, i see you've met Rachael. And Hanaka... i'm glad to see you've come as well. It's lucky for me because I'm assigning you four to this case. Follow me for the debriefing..."

"Allright... Luckily, London isn't as cold as Siberia. I won't easily get freezing here," he was joking.

Lang came back from Siberia yesterday. He have been there for four and a half month, hunting Akuma.

"There has been reports of innocence in Berlin, Germany," said Clive, sittting at the head of the table. "The finders reported the presence of level 2 akuma in the area as well, hiding out in the subway station. Your mission is to eliminate the akuma and capture the innocence before it falls into the Earl's hands..."

"YES!!! I can't wait!!! I'm gonna tear those akuma apart with my bare hands!!!" Rachael said, excitedly pounding her fist into her other hand. "I was getting so tired of this rain... TIME FOR SOME ACTION!!!"

"One moment please!!!" shouted Clive. "Can i finish?"

"Oh yes..." Rachael sat down immediately, blushing ear to ear.

"Because of the akuma level present and the difficulty of this case, i'm assigning 6 exorcists to the case. You four, as well as Exorcist Silver and Exorcist Glory..."

"GLORY??? I LOVE HER!!!" Rachael was happy that one of her younger comrades was going. Rachael always felt close to Glory, as if they were kindred spirits.

"Yes... Glory," sighed Clive. "It was against my better judgement, but she's highly qualified for this case as an offensive and defensive ally. Just remember..... no goofing off you two!!!"

"Iy yi captain!" Rachael smiled.

"Anyway..." said Clive. "I've already briefed the two girls on the case. You'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning, so i suggest you read over the case file and prepare yourselves! Everyone's dismissed!"

((i guess once everyone's prepared, we'll start the new section... any titles we wanna use???))

Glory let her thick combat boots hit the ground as she walked, sandwich in hand. She was headed to find Rachael, conspire about the mission.


Glory pushed the last bite into her mouth with her index finger as she tunred the corner still chewing. She saw everyone standing and waved.

She was a little ancy about this mission, sending six exrocists? Whatever their fighting, must be huge. Every mission got her excited, she loved the thrill of it! She finished chewing and swallowed.

"So, when are we setting out?" she asked casualy.

((Anythings fine...im not picky ^_^ ))

"Glory!!!" Rachael shouted and threw herself at Glory. "Isn't this exciting, we're gonna fight a level 2 akuma!!!"

Rachael could barely contain her excitement at the upcoming mission. It had been over a week since she had seen any action on the battlefield, and her blood was starting to boil over with anticipation.

"Rachael," Clive appeared from the debriefing room. "If you don't let go of Glory, we're gonna have one less exorcist for this mission..."

Realizing what she was doing, Rachael let go of Glory. "Sorry Glory..." she said as her face turned red.

"I would suggest you all start packing now, the sooner you leave the better."

With that, Rachael went to her room to pack her supplies for the mission. She packed the usual things, her medial kit, an extra pair of warm clothes, an extra exorcist uniform (she always managed to tear one on every mission), and lastely... her cross from Clive around her neck.

"I see you still wear that thing," Clive said as he walked into the room.

"Of course i do!" exclaimed Rachael. "It's my good luck charm, i'd never leave without it. Besides, when i wear it, it makes me feel like you're always with me.... it's my voice of reason."

"Good, because you don't have one of your own!" he teased.

"HEY!" Rachael pouted and punched Clive, causing him to flinch in pain. She really didn't know her own strength. "Anyways... will you miss me?"

"You know i always do," Clive took Rachael in his arms and held her tightly. "I won't have a decent night's sleep until you arrive back here, safe and sound. Now, get to bed, you have to leave in a few hours to catch your ride to Germany."

"Alright," she said obediently.

((Okay.... that's the end of this arch, i'll start the new thread!))
