---

Sir Gawain has posed:
It is very vaguely afternoonish, and that is all that will be said about the time. Location is more important! Sir Gawain has asked both Kotone Yamakawa and 'Ranger Green' to meet him at a park in one of the many cities on Njorun Station's Central plaza, not from from a commerical district of that city. Riding towards the park on his white motorcycle, he doesn't seem much, blonde hair, blue eyes, black and gold suit. Though that still tends to make you stand out /anyways/. Currently, he's parking his bike, leaping off, and then looking around to see if those he has requested to come..have, well, come!

Hope's Light (288) has posed:
Much like her picture on the wiki, Hope's Living Light is dressed in a loose sundress and a wide-brimmed hat to shade her eyes. She doesn't have much reason to be here... as pleasant as her world is right now, it is no longer her 'home' since the reformation, so she hangs out in Himei's world or... here. Here being various places in Njorun.

Thing is, she doesn't know any of the Elites showing up! She kind of doesn't talk to too many people who weren't involved in the Apocalypse. So right this moment, she's perched on a scenic rock placed at the park, dangling her legs off the edge and just enjoying the sun, watching the arriving Gawain.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa has been tended to the damage to her hand from catching the brick wasn't too bad, but it was good that Kotone paid attention ot damage she'd tken. She was still wearing what she'd worn the day before but it looked lioke it had been cleaned from the looks of it. She arrives a few moments after Sir. Gawain arrives and she waves to him calling out. "Hey so this is ... the HQ? I never seen anything like this place..."

Ziggy Grover has posed:
The Ranger Prototype Series Operation Bio-Suit had run out of energy. While he had spares, Dr. K had reluctantly agreed that it would be wise to conserve the fuel cells, at least until she could devise a way to send extras to him through the means he'd taken to arrive.

"But," cautions Dr. K, "Keep the communications open. It appears that the bio-field that powers your morpher works in the section of the Multiverse you've arrived in. So the fuel cells should be compatible."

"So I have to let people hear -you- talk? I'm sorry, but they're going to think I'm a dork for following the orders of someone -younger- than me..."

"Ranger Green. You're late."

"Oh darn it! And I don't know where I'm going..."

There is a long-suffering sigh. "I will check the local area's maps."

And so, an awkward-looking lanky figure with wild hair and a leather jacket is dashing to the park, pausing to leap over the park bench that Hope's Living Light is sitting on, clomping onto the seat, tripping, and then landing on the ground. A mutter into his morpher's communication. "Left, right, up, down, circular... are you giving me the long route?!"

"..."

"YOU ARE!" Getting to his feet, Ziggy hollers. "Gawain!" Waving a hand, Ziggy then notes Kotone. "And... uh... pillow girl! I don't think I caught your name...!"

And then finally noticing that he just -might- have disturbed someone who was sitting on the bench he'd tripped over... "Oh. Hello there." Waggling his fingers, Ziggy smiles in that way one gets when one has done something wrong and is trying to appease bigger meaner people from beating him up. "Sorry, sorry, I got lost."

Noble Six (38) has posed:
Unsurprisingly, Noble Six is in full armor as she stalks through the plaza of Njorun. She doesn't look like she's heading any one particular place, but that might not be the case. It's very hard to read someone who always carries themselves the way she does, and who rarely ever shows their face. Her pace is a decent indicator that she's not in a hurry, however.

Sir Gawain has posed:
As Kotone arrives, Sir Gawain bows his head to her. "Lady Yamakawa, how are your wounds? And yes, this is only one part of Njorun Station, from what I can tell. There seems to be many other cities like this, almost a whole kingdom in it's own right!"

When Ziggy approaches and calls out his name, Sir Gawain takes a moment, before grinning brightly. "Ah, Sir ZigZag, I presume? How are you faring? The Multiverse is quite large, hm? Luckily, the Union is here to help those pave their way.".

And then he notices Noble Six, who seems to peak his interest, as he calls out to her. "Ah, noble knight. Are you lost? Or just enjoying the afternoon?". Gawain offers a bright smile to her as well.

Hope's Light (288) has posed:
Hope hardly looks threatening, as she appears about 13 or 14. She is, in fact, a little younger than this! But that's not important. Seeing the enthusiastic greeting, Hope just smiles and gives a little wave. "Oh, don't mind me, I'm just enjoying the day. I don't mind watching a little chitchat. I like people-watching!"

The fact that people might not /want/ her around doesn't seem to have entered her head. The young girl certainly doesn't seem like the type to hang around Elites, either... she has no super awesome armor or weapons or the like. Though anyone who has met Jack may recognize the dress Hope is wearing as being one of Jack's.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa looks at Ziggy for a moment as she sizes him up for a second.

"Pillow girl?! Just what do you mean by that?!"

She looks down for a moment then back to Ziggy with a slightly miffed look on her face at Ziggy. She folds her arms and gives him another look over.

"Kotone, Kotone Yamakawa."

Noble Six also gets a look as she sees someone in a full combat hard suit of some sort.

"I'm fine it wasn't too bad but it's better ot be safe than sorry you know?"

"People watching can be ... quit ethe hobby in a place like this, Miss."

Ziggy Grover has posed:
"I'm not even going to ask how you came up with -that- one, Ranger Green," Dr. K mutters low, as Ziggy waves a hand. "Better than landing pad. Or launchpad."

Reaching out to pat the thirteen years old on the head, Ziggy smiles. "It's all right, little girl, we're all friends here. All for one, one for all. Speaking of which, the name is Ziggy. Z-I-G-G-Y. Ziggy Grover. Which a certain _someone_ could learn."

Mercifully, Dr. K is silent, as Ziggy goes on. "I'm Ranger Green. And... whoa, who's the woman in red?" He brings an elbow up to nudge Sir Gawain. "Do you know her?"

Noble Six (38) has posed:
"Lost?" Six asks, as she looks at Gawain, trying to place the face. She doesn't really know him, but she shakes her head, "I'm not lost. You have to be going somewhere to be lost." She shrugs a little, "Been just sort of wandering." She looks at the gathered group around the knight, and then looks at Ziggy as he asks who she is, "I'm Noble Six." She replies, "I take it you're one of our new arrivals."

Sir Gawain has posed:
"That is good to hear, any wound should be checked, even if seems to be nothing.". Sir Gawain smiles at Kotone, before looking at Ziggy. "Ah, my mistake, Sir Grover.". He looks towards Noble Six.

"I do not, I am afraid. Hello, Lady Six. I am Sir Gawain, it is a pleasure to meet you. And this is quite a large place, wandering does happen, I did so the first time I came to Njorun myself."

Sir Gawain then turns to Hope. "If you would like, you could participate in the conversation. There are no secrets here, to my knowledge."

Hope's Light (288) has posed:
Hope adjusts her hat and nods, "Oh, all right. Introducing someone to the place?" She peers at Ziggy, and since he introduced himself, so does she! "Hope. That's my name, I mean. Hope Shoutan. Nice to meet you, Ziggy."

To Kotone, Hope smiles, "I know, but that's what makes it fun, right?"

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa pause at Ziggy who does seem to be getting a wheel bit creepy.

"Ziggy I see, and I got a question for you what's the deal with the spandex?"

That's where Kotone trails off at the name she stops she stares at Sir Gawain.

"Wait wiat Sir Gawain?!"

Kotone's a little bit shock there, that name wasn't exactly common and the connotations of such are not lost on her. She's still wondering the implicaitons of the nickname Ziggy has given her...

Ziggy Grover has posed:
"Yes, introducing someone to the place, that'd be me, the one who's visiting. A little bit of a mishap, a teensy weensy error in calculation, and..."

Eyes widen, as Ziggy digests the implication of the question. He makes shushing motions, before trying to cover up the morpher, but a loud, outraged female voice can be heard: "IT'S NOT SPANDEX! IT'S A...!"

The voice is muffled as Ziggy stuffs his hand deeper within his jacket, covering it up and smiling beatifically. "So, pleasure to meet you too. You know, I'm not terribly crazy about wandering. I mean, where I came from, the only place to wander was outside the city, and outside there? Desolate, barren wastelands. Wouldn't recommend it. You get pretty desperate out there." Smile. Smile. "So... are we making a lot of acquaintances here in the Union, Sir Gawain?"

Noble Six (38) has posed:
"Well I'm not going anywhere, so sure, I'll hang out here and chat." Six replies, as she looks around the group, "Secrets are something I'm good at keeping, even if there were any." She replies, simply, "So what's the topic of the moment?"

Sir Gawain has posed:
"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lady Shoutan.". Sir Gawain also gives her a nod of head, before nodding upwards to Kotone. "Indeed, of the Round Table. It seems I am quite famous, doesn't it?~".

And then Sir Gawain turns to Noble Six. "Sir Grover here is new to the Multiverse, and I was going to attempt to recruit him to the Union. Speaking of which..". OH BOY. Sir Gawain turns to Ziggy. "As you see, the Multiverse is made up of many worlds, as I have learned. From what I know, there are two factions struggling in a war, the Union, and the Confederacy. The Union protects the Multiverse, whilst the Confederacy attempts to conquer it. Whilst I have no doubt that you could go without being in either faction as many have, those who ally or even join the Union military are helped out and given quite a network of information and assets, in trade for willing to fight to protect the Multiverse, the Union's ideals, and battle the Confederacy that tries to crush them. I am only an Ally myself, but I feel like I should tell you about what it is in a more..sociable front before you choose your own path.".

And then he takes a second for a breath after that long-winded thing. "But if you would like, we can easily talk about other matters!"

Hope's Light (288) has posed:
Hope's eyes widen and she quickly shakes her head. "Ah! Don't call me Lady Shoutan, that's my grandma! She's the only one that has a title! Hope is fine. Or Hope's Living Light if you want to be all formal."

On to recruitment. "Oh, you're that new? Well... you don't have to make a decision right away. I joined the Union because my grandma was in the Union and threw herself into hell to save my life. That's just the kind of people they are, you know?" She pauses. "Um, I should probably clarify that I'm adopted. She wasn't my grandma then."

She leans over and uh... sniffs at Ziggy a little.

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa pauses at hte reaction about spandex as she hears a very unhappy female foice she stares for a momeht she looks to Ziggy and chooses to not comment further on that bit. She just won't bring that up again.

"I'm just on my own to be honest. My world's had enough large scale wars, We have had four world wars in the last 100 years or so."

She looks to the Knight she gets wide eyesed.

"Wait a worl... woah I never thought I'd actually meet a round Table knight!"

Sjhe looks over to Six for a moment

"Just catching up and getting situated."

She pauses at the Knight and looks at him for a moment

"Better to ask then dragoon someone, yes."

Noble Six (38) has posed:
"If you've already made it this far, chances are Sir Gawain saw enough in you to bring you here." Six says, as she looks towards Hope and the sniffing, "I doubt he would bring somebody that would better fit in with the Confederacy and try to recruit them."

The armor soldier shifts her weight a little bit, and then turns her attention back to Ziggy, "So what's your gimmick? Super powers? I heard someone mention spandex."

Ziggy Grover has posed:
"Wait... you're a Knight of the Round Table?" Ziggy's brain freezes. "No way!" His mouth opens, gaping like a goldfish, long enough that Dr. K's voice emerges from the morpher he'd let drop from his jacket. "Ranger Green. Multiverse. Focus. As to the Union, it might be useful to enlist help if we can bring people back to Corinth."

"Hey cool! Uh... what are you doing?" Ziggy looks down at Hope. "Hey, whoa...! So I'm not -fresh-... I haven't been pointed at a shower for a while. Speaking of which, the Union... they provide accomodations, right?"

And then the woman in Red asks her question, and Ziggy cringes, as Dr K screams again, "IT IS NOT SPANDEX! THE MATERIAL IS A SELF-ASSEMBLING NANO..."

Quickly sticking his wrist up underneath his armpit, Ziggy coughs. "Uh, yes, I'm a Power Ranger. We're totally cool. Still working on my one-liners, but... yeah. Um... you guys aren't with the Cartels, right? If not, I'm good to go."

Sir Gawain has posed:
"Cartels? I am not aware of such an organization, you are safe, Sir Grover." Sir Gawain smiles warmly. "Ah, there should be a place where they can get you all setup and point you to such accomodations..let us see.". Sir Gawain pulls out what looks like a cellphone from his suit..and takes about three minutes tapping at it, perhaps frowning at it, before pointing it forward to show a map. "It's not far, just that way, they should also be able to provide you with radio access and the like.", Sir Gawain points with a hand.

Gawain smiles at Hope. "Very well, Hope. I will remember such.". And then he turns to Kotone. "I am currently partaking in a war myself, but it seems to be delayed. Not that such details matter anyhow.".

And finally, he turns to Noble Six. "Indeed. He showed no signs of threat and seemed to be more of a force for good than evil.". Sir Gawain then looks to his bike. "Well then, I should be going soon, unless you would like to stay and chat?". He smiles warmly once more.

Hope's Light (288) has posed:
Hope adjusts her hat. "I need to get back home. I wasn't sniffing you for that..." She turns around and gives a little wave. "He smells all... weavery. It's all high tech stuff, but I don't smell any corruption on him. Doesn't mean he isn't evil but that's the best I can do. Sorry, my world doesn't define good and evil so easily."

She flashes a bright smile. "Nice meeting you, Ziggy! I hope to hear you on Union bands soon. If you let Sir Gawain take you to a recruitment office they can give you the full rundown I think, and give you a quick check. I'm sure they can find you a place."

Kotone Yamakawa has posed:
Kotone Yamakawa looks to Ziggy for a moment tilting her head again.

"If you need help? I can offer some I'm a better mechanic and designer than I am a fighter...and someone's got issues about those suits."

Kotone has no idea it's not issues it's ownership of the printing house there.

"It's just a lot to take in Sir Gawain, the tales of Camelot and it's knights has been something I have fount to be a very common tale, It existed on my world for example I can't say if it's true for it or not. Some schoalrs have spent their lives trying to find the ruins...or other proof."

She looks to light hope and smiles for a moment and smiles a bit.

"You seem to be a rather interesting person your self."

Ziggy Grover has posed:
Ziggy's eyes widen, and he keeps his morpher firmly muffled underneath his armpit, so that Dr. K can't hear. "Um... no, it's all right, the suit's see, what the kid said." He motions towards Hope, inching quickly to her. "Thank you, um... what are union bands? Uh... I'm good with it. If you need fighting, well... Ranger Black's really your man, but I promise you, I've got moves you've never -seen- before."

Noble Six (38) has posed:
There's a beeping sound coming from Noble Six's left wrist. She turns it towards herself and taps something on the touch screen there. The conversation isn't heard outside of her helmet, but she seems to be talking to somebody. She looks back at the group and frowns, though they can't see it.

"Seems my ONI handlers have a mission for me, so I have to step off. It was good to meet you all." And then she turns and heads off deeper into the Union HQ.

Sir Gawain has posed:
"Well then, well-met. The 'union bands' are what we call our radio frequencies, either for tactical or more social and information sharing. If you have a radio device, they should be able to teach you how to connect.". And then, Sir Gawain bows to those left, before heading to his bike, and riding off into..the vaguely afternoon. This is why concrete times are important, huh?
