Enki City Panic-RP

[SweetSophia]

(What tha heck. People can join as we go along.) The city was swarming with soldiers, many were camped out in the lesser rings of the outer city while hotels and inns were swamped. All this and they were still asking for volunteers? Tag nervously waited in his seat on the ground in the shell of a building, dreading his decision more every moment.

"Chase! Punch! Front and center!" The commander demanded of the two. Punch stood up and marched over to the bonfire around which they were situated. Tag floated over to where they were and both struck a salute.

"Sir, yes Sir!" Theh both barked out.

Everyone with any common sense knew that when Commander Munin Illevan said jump, you said how high.

"You two did a good job in the first assault, I want my best in reserve right now, so why don't you two gather up your team and go ahead into town and see if we've got anymore volunteers at the office. Remember, we need able bodies, but the last thing we need is to be taking away from the town's vital forces; policemen, doctors...so on so forth." Illevan commanded.

Tag swallowed at the sentence and the two finished saluting and headed off to gather their comrades.

James continued to wander around the town. He was trying to find out more about what was going on. Earlier there had been an awful racket that had woken him from his sleep and now everyone seemed to be unsettled. Hopefully one of the more intense looking individuals might have an answer for him.

[SweetSophia]

Tag and Punch gathered up their group and began to stroll through town, still clad in military uniforms (Punch's with flames on it).

"...an' then there's tha spicy corn. That's tha kind that'll get you that temp-or-ary fire breathin'. We only raised that kind for Fools Day, heckuva time we had then." Punch regaled his regiment with stories of the farm.

Tag was looking off at his hometown scenery uneasily as the whole group made their way through town towards the little office they had set up in the side room at a bakery.

"Y'all can go on back, now. Me 'n Chase here kin handle this." He dismissed, carrying on with Tag in tow.

The two passed James, Tag, nervously wondering if that was was someone he knew that might recognize him.

[Raleigh]

"Hm... maybe they might know something." James begins to follow the two, hoping he is keeping enough space between them and himself so it just seems as if he was heading in this direction anyway.

[SweetSophia]

He's following me, I just know he's following me. Does he recognize me? I bet it's the eyes, I should've changed the eyes. I'm so dead if dad finds out..." Tag thought to himself at a rapid pace.

The two reached the office with James on their tail and Punch opened the door for "Tippy" to enter. Tag took a second to peer behind him as both dissapeared behind the door. On the sign on the door was printed "Call to Action, Psion Knights Requesting Volunteers".

Daniel walks down the street toward the sign up office.

"Aren't we a little young for this?" Sam asked.

"No, besides, if we join, we may find a way to reverse our...predicament." Danny said.

"If you say so..." Sam responded.

"Now, maybe we should stop talking out loud so we don't sound crazy." Danny said.

"Okay." Sam said.

They kept walking to the sign up office, keeping pretty much silent.

[Raleigh]

Looking around he decides to go into the near by bakery for the moment while pondering if he should go inside or not. After all, nothing settles nerves like sugar. After purchasing and eating a doughnut he decides to enter the breach as it were. He goes on over to the door with the sign on it and knocks, dreading if entry is either allowed or not.

[Shadowmaster]

Danny walks into the building, and to the nearest official looking person. "I'm here to volunteer, or sign up, or whatever." she said.

[SweetSophia]

As James knocks, another kid, near his age breezes by and enters the office with no problem.

"Ain'tcha a little young kid. We don't wanna be sending little boys out to fight the good fight." Punch responded after some labored thinking.

Tag nearly fainted for a moment, but decided to defend the position,

"Aw, c'mon Punch. Give the kid a chance. I'm sure we could use some extra hands somewhere." Tippy's voice protested.

Punch put a hand on his chin contemplatively.

[Raleigh]

"Well if he can just go on in..." James walks in to see what is going on around this place. "Excuse me, but could anyone tell me what all the earlier fuss was about?"

[SweetSophia]

"Are you here to sign up too? Y'all look like you just got outta school..." Punch mumbles.

"Tippy" looks at the kid and sighs in relief that he doesn't know what's going on.

"Wait, you're telling me that you don't know about the invasion? We've got a class one Planet Invasion going on, bugs all over the place. we just finished out first strike today, drove them back a couple yards and caused a big retreat. Unfortuately, even with all the knights here, we're a little short handed..." She explained, then with a slightly more positive expression said, "Either of you two ever driven a robot before?"

[Raleigh]

"Ehh, what can I say, I am sometimes inattentive. As to the robot part, not that I can recall. But one never knows what one might have done in their sleep. I am a bit handy though when it comes to some of the simulation type things they have out there."

[Shadowmaster]

Danny smiles a bit after hearing the two adults greet him. Yes, they nought it, this disguise is flawless.

Well, baggy clothes can often hide developing features... Sam replied.

Shut up, its my awesome disguise. Danny thought back.

He then looked back up at the adults. "So, where do w...I sign?" he asked.

[SweetSophia]

"I guess we could be usin' a little help with the maintenance and if y'all are lucky, maybe a harmless scouting mission or two..." Punch reluctantly agreed.

Tippy made her way over to a filing cabnet in the corner of the room and pulled open the drawer. She offered two forms to the kids.

"You'll need to fill these out. If you've got the right stuff after training, you'll be reporting to me and my associate here. I'm General Chase and this is Lieutenant Punch...er rather Lieutenant Tamm. Either way, you'll be adressing the both of us as Sir." Chase said in a self assured manner.

[Raleigh]

"Ehh what the heck." Takes the form that was handed to him and begins filling it out. Something keeps nagging at the back of his mind about one of the two adults in the room but he just lets it go for now since he is sure it isn't important.
