Once in Maine, she stopped to look for the address as stated on the note. A couple hours later and she made it to the destination. Turning the bike off and tossing down the kickstand with her foot, she made way up the stairs. She could hear talking and smell an animal, but she continued her walk. Once turning the corner, she noticed there was a small group of people talking about someone being detained and a dog being pet by one of the females. Left brow rose in curiosity. Despite the danger this situation could prove she simply stayed about 15 feet from the group, watching them. A couple times she looked over her shoulder;always aware of her surroundings. Never once did she speak, but she sure did listen. She decided to lean against the wall, keeping her stance calm, but her muscles ready if needed at a moments notice.
Taking in a deep breath, and walked over to the other people. "Hi. I... I got an invitation too." I dug into my pocket, and pulled out the letter to show the woman with the mohawk.
Eyes darted between everyone whom was around her. Taking in as much information as she could about each. How they held their stride, where their eyes wandered, their facial features, and the way they spoke all told her something about them. Each person had a past and she intended to gather this information to determine who they were and how to react around them. In general she planned on not interacting with any of them, but she knew how unrealistic that ideal was.
A hand rose and swiped a small bunch of hair out of her eyes and tucked it behind her ear. Whether by her motorcycle or by foot, she followed the male with uncertainty. She figured all times were times to be careful. She still had no further information on how real or unreal this situation was and she didn't plan on letting her guard down until she understood everything happening. Only time would cure that, though she highly doubted that point would ever be reached.

When Theodore actually showed up, things seemed to settle down a bit. He came off as a strong leader. After his suggestion to follow, Harold shrugged and sighed. Maybe things will be better explained when we get where we're going, he thought. He followed near the back of the group, trying to size up everyone who was there.

Jack looked around and noticed a woman with long dark hair and a couple of large bags tap her leg as if checking for something. He thought that maybe she just had an itch or something, but he'd seen people store weapons along their legs before and wondered. He walked into the cave and let some people who could help her take Tati away. The place was much more than he'd expected it to be and it felt a little overwhelming. He still didn't know if he should even trust these people or not. They certainly seemed organized enough to be some weird army. They had reached out to him, but that didn't mean anything. The man from the other group had come to him first, but why should he trust him any more than these people or vice versus?
He went over and found a place to sit. He needed to wrap his head around everything. He'd seen someone dead in the elevator. Most likely, either the guy or girl had killed him, but he had no clue as to which or why. It didn't seem like it would be a particularly good idea to go and ask, "Alright, now, why should I trust you? Why might one of you kill a guy? Why are you fighting each other? Are you really trying to kill the planet? If I don't know if I can trust you, how I can I know if any of these answers are true?" No, that certainly wouldn't work. He had to make a judgment call eventually. More information, that's what he needed. The only thing he could think to do was listen, talk to people if the opportunity arose. He turned where he was sitting to look and see that Tati had decided to lay down and Anastasia was sleeping on her stomach. But just beyond her he saw what appeared to be a large number of syringes being prepared with an odd fluid in them.
The leader of The Vircid, Frederick V. Stalhiem was a master of delusion. He could portray any emotion he pleased, and you'd go along with it, not knowing any better. Because if you did notice, you'd be dead in an instant. He was a powerful Earth elemental after all. The man was a beast, but his only rage was directed at Signet. While Theodore supported the Vircid completely, he did not care for it's leader. But still, orders were orders.
"You do realize that your face is known by Signet now, correct?" Frederick says, standing up and preparing to pace the room. "Yes sir, I understand that. If I could have stopped the bastard, I would have. But I wasn't even close to his level. I'm a recruitment officer, not one of the foot soldiers." Theodore replies, a chill in his tone. Frederick turns to him. "Well, besides all that, which I'm pretty sure could have been prevented, we need to do something about you." Frederick's expression turns to one of playful thought. Sadistic, really. "We could kill you, mangle your face, give you painful surgery..." He rattles off.
Theodore was realizing why he didn't like Stalhiem. He was a fucking psycho. This whole organization was founded on his little grudge, and now it's something he didn't intend. Nonetheless, he was enjoying it. All the power, all the underlings. Theodore hated it, and that's why he was glad the recruits weren't going to meet him anytime soon. "Look, Stalhiem, I have business to attend to, so either get with slapping my wrist or let me go fix my mistake." Theodore says impatiently. Frederick looks at Theodore for a moment, questioning why one of his dogs was barking at him. He shakes his head. "Fine, go. Get out of here." He says dismissively. Theodore walks out of the room, and to his quarters, a simple room with good bedding and amenities. He needed to unwind. Someone else could take care of the newbies...
