As with most things, there is a beginning

[runmakitarun]

Earlier today Makita spoke to the people on her team she could find, and left notes with Bar for those she couldn't. Today is the day. It's time to go back.

While she's spoken to her team about what to expect, at least to some degree, no one's gotten a full briefing yet. She's pushed some tables out of the way to form a sort of open space in one corner of the bar, and as people begin to arrive she's starting to unpack the five military-style duffel bags at her feet, laying the contents out on the tables nearby. Grenades, mines, boxes of ammo, and a few guns are slowly spread out like a deadly little buffet.

"The mission to kill a lot of people?" Mel returns.

"I'm here as Slayer, not thief."

Goldy bites down on her lip as she musters a suitably inoffensive reply.

"We'll be the ones getting killed if we're spotted by aerial reconnaissance before we reach the intended targets."

Mel smirks slowly, looking at Goldy slowly from her boots up, lingering on her hair.

"I'm here 'cause of my skill in not getting killed," she says dryly. "We don't all get to rely on immortality and a fashionable wardrobe. You want me to leave my weapons behind too?"

Goldy opens her mouth, then closes it and just glares a little.

Mel does have a point. Mike's sweatshirt isn't the only garish thing about her. There's the bright red of her scythe blade and handgun. And there's also the purple hair.

"Fine," she says, with playful huffiness. "But I'll tell you this, Rainbow Brite, if I get blasted because your kaleidoscopic kit compromises us, I'm not going to be a happy bunny."

"I'll pay if your shirt gets damaged, Princess," Mel allows, with a gracious grin.

If she was addressing someone other than Mel about this issue, Goldy might be annoyed. But she does have a lot of faith in the Slayer's abilities, so she's actually just amused.

She can't let that nickname stand though.

"Hey. Easy with the Princess thing. I'm not that bad."

Re: Introductions

Mel glances again at Goldy's matching pants and jacket, and shrugs.

"Anything you say."

Re: Introductions

Goldy follows Mel's glance, her top lip curling in bemusement.

"What's wrong with these? They're standard US Army fatigues. Gen 2 GORE-TEX, Arctic snow camo. Not exactly the height of combat fashion. Just functional."

Re: Introductions

[slayer_fray]

"Yeah?" Mel asks, and shrugs. "You'd know."

A little frown, and then a shrug back.

"Excuse me for doing a bit of research on how to stay warm and as invisible as possible. I don't have super strength and agility."
