The White Gale's storm (Open to all White Gale members)

After a long while Sindel finally came out of the room in the hall, having dressed back in her original outfit and having her work attire into her bag, she placed it somewhere out of harm's way and went back to Seraphim and Menai. She did notice that alot more people have entered, alot of people she has never met before and would surely be introduced to. Not that she minded, if they were like Seraphim, she might gain alo more friends she could depend on, and that was off course what she wanted.

Sindel was about to talk to Seraphim once more when she noticed Menai standing on one leg, balancing herself aswell as the can of soda on the top of her head, blinking. " Menai... Don't let it drop. " Menai looked over at Sindel and almost dropped it, Sindel immidiatly rushing to her, showing off her rather aggressive agility and stood besides Menai with her hand near the side of the can, though noticing it wasn't going to drop, she sighed and sat on a chair infront of Menai. " I'm too young to be having heart attacks.. " Menai blinked, obviously confused but soon grinned. " So, where's the ice cream. " Menai shifted her head and it looked the can was about to fall off again, which made Sindel immidiatly off the chair but again it was a false alarm, twitching and grabbing the can and placing it on the table. " Don't... do that anymore or no ice cream " " Fine... " Menai sat down next to Sindel and placed her large ice cream stick infront of her and looked around at all the people that entered, some tough looking, some kawaii and even some that looked dangerous, Menai loved it! " Heheee.. Seraphim sure knows how to bring in the good ones! "

Sindel looked them over aswell, it was obviously an interesting bunch but there were some that just didn't seem fit to fight against the Era of Hell, after all, she was one of them, taking out her cellphone to call Karina, looking over at Seraphim for a moment. At first she didn't want to admit it to herself but it seemed Karina was important to Seraphim, she had noticed it in the hospital and it would be best the girl was here right now. " Karina, it's Sindel. When are you coming here? .. .. What unfinished bussiness? Fine but atleast come her tonight or whenever you can, it would mean alot to Seraphim, okay? " She'd hang up and looked back at Menai. " Well it loo-- " She blinked as Menai was gone, looking around with a sigh, only to see her running to the carts that entered the room, giggling loudly " Ooooh! Is it ice cream?! "

Sindel couldn't help but face palm herself, not going after Menai this time and rested back against the chair, going back to looking a every person though stopping at Tracy, who seemed to be quite a vicious looking girl. It was odd but Sindel quite liked to see someone like Tracy in the White Gale, course she wanted to bring one more person into the White Gale aswell, Tammy Naga. Sindel immidiatly blushed when she tought about Tammy, still quite an experience she felt and off course the feelings she shared for the girl, with Seraphim as her best friend, who she treated like her sister even though Sindel already had a sister but keeping it a secret, and Tammy as a potential lover if she could get to know her better, life might turn out great after all. Course with all these people, this organization could become an entire family for her she could care about and because of that, Sindel believed in every word Seraphim said, she was kept safe by Seraphim and she still felt safe, the only thing she could do for Seraphim now is help her lead and stand by her side though she couldn't help wonder, what would happen if they actually do manage to defeat the Era of Hell? They both knew that Lute was dangerous but she was kind spirited, perhaps talking Lute out of fighting was one leader away from a battle, then there were several members hanging on a thin thread to stay in the Era of Hell. Sindel needed to remain tactical in all of this and do what was best for the White Gale and for Seraphim.

Sindel decided to aid Seraphim right now, getting off the chair and dusting herself off and walked over to the trio Shizuka, Yui and Tracy, standing infront of them and bowing gracefully, then rising back up to look at them with a rather cute smile. " My name is Sindel Alaira, second in command of the White Gale, It's a pleasure to meet you three, let me know if you need anything, I will be glad to help each of you with whatever you need, enjoy and meet up with people who come today, we're all going to be one big happy family. "

Tracy was in a pretty good mood, and Yui and Shizuka as well. It was a veeeery special day, in which they were going to meet all of their new partners-against-crime! They couldnt waaaait to go and talk to the people in here. They looked pretty... interesting, and it was definitely going to be a pleasure learning more about them. They just hoped they were just as excited as they were, otherway, their happiness might overwhelm the people they're talking to and they might get a little bit bored, and of course, they didnt want that!

Yui lifted her head suddenly. "Huh?" Turning to Shizuka, then looking at Seraphim for a second. "Yuup~! That's me!" The purple haired schoolgirl said as she smirked proudly, arching her back a bit and inflating her chest as she pointed her thumb at herself. Finally somebody who recognised her skills! This organization might be fun, after all! Since she won the title, she started thinking of herself as some big celebrity, and she was definitely happy that Seraphim knew about her. Yui felt a little abandoned, but still smiled as she moved her hand to Shizuka's ear. "50% of what's her today is thanks to me! Riiiiight~?!" She started pulling it playfully. The little victim brought her hands to her friend's wrist and pulled her arm away, faking a little cry. "Yuush, yuuush~!"

It was then when Sindel showed up. While the two schoolgirls played a bit more, Tracy noticed the little girl standing right next to Seraphim. "Hiyaa~! I'm Tracy Snow, but you can call me Tracy." She smirked widely, closing her eyes as she extended her arm in front of her, offering her to shake hands friendly. Then she thought. 'What am I dooing? She's one of us!' As soon as Sindel grabbed her hand, the redhead would pull her a bit closer and take a step forward, wrapping her other arm around her for a quick hug. "Nice meeting you!" She said, tapping her hand lightly on the other girl's back, then turning around, her arm still around her as she lead her to the food. "Comee on, yoou. Let's leave these gals alone and goo have some pizza together~!" The redhead exclaimed, smirking widely at Sindel. A new sister...! She liked the sound of that.

"Well... here's the thing. We were wondering if... errmm.... uhhmm..." Yui started articulating a question, but she didnt really know how to finish it. She was a pretty shy girl, so it was pretty hard for her to express herself. "We waanna jooin the White Gale!" Shizuka suddenly exclaimed, bringing one fist up in front of her chest as she looked at Seraphim with a serious look on her face, a light smile decorating her lips as she spoke. "Uhhmm... Yeah, that." The pink haired girl wasnt really amazed. I mean, the only thing that surprised her was seeing Shizuka all serious like that.

Masane looked around at the numerous women that has already shown up to the meeting, and started to smile a little bit, feeling like maybe this whole White Gale thing could actually work. She looked around the area, looking to see if it looked like there was anyone free she could talk to.

Meanwhile, a shadow stood in the doorway of an emergency exit, that was wide open. A woman with a cowboy hat had a leg up against the doorway, and had her head slightly bowed. She was listening in on the various conversations, the woman deciding to see what was what for herself.

Lysandra had wrapped up her light snacking on her share of the appetizers and was looking around with a mixture of amusement and comfort. There were plenty of interesting characters here, yet all of them were definitely capable and wouldn't hesitate to look out for one another if things got thick. She gave a blank, emotionless look at Sindel, knowing her past and some of the circumstances in which she had ended up here. She took tabs on everyone and knew that at the very least, the lightweight and middleweight fighting classes in Friction were covered by these White Gale members.

Her main concern, however, was the presence of anyone at this meeting that could stand up effectively to someone as ruthless as Sarah Gatt or Lukretia Von Creuzfeldt. She knew the latter didn't have anything to do with this upcoming conflict... yet... but the heiress was already trying to cover all the bases, trying to minimize unknown factors. She looked around the room, putting up certain fighters as "maybes," and tentatively put down Seraphim and Masane as potential contenders, trying to arrange a solid core of heavy hitters in her mind's eye. She had Katsumi's support, she was sure, but despite her trust in Ciara, the veteran soldier had been rather vague about the extent of her commitment. Perhaps a skirmish or two would solidify the help of the Spec Ops maiden, but Lysandra knew better than to rely on potentials over certainties.

As if to answer a few of her questions and provide a solution to some of her questions, she spotted a shadowy figure that had silently and intimidatingly appeared at one of the exits. At first, Lysandra was on her guard, but quickly recognizing the description Ciara had sent her, she relaxed. Still, her mind reeled a bit in astonishment. Perhaps the black-haired fool had borne fruit during her first "foray" after all. She walked over to the woman, taking measured, confident strides and making sure that she didn't exude any confrontational energy towards her.

She took the closest seat to the exit and looked back out towards the bulk of the meeting, nodding once at Masane as their eyes met, but it was obvious who Lysandra was actually addressing.

"I hope my companion Ciara didn't do anything too loud or crass in your presence, Rose. Lord knows she tends to come off that way."

All of these people… it was really becoming something amazing. Seraphim prided herself as a powerful fighter, and especially with her 6 and 0 record so far, planning to make it 10 soon enough without a single loss. But when it came to being a leader, she still felt just a little intimidated by the factor. However, the white haired, one-eyed vixen would never show it, continuing to put a tourniquet on her troubling thoughts as a temporary fix, and staying strong for today. She could always find time to unwind later back at the apartment with Tracy and Alison, or maybe spend the night at Karinaâ€s again or even with Sindel. She had friends now, a family, and Seraphim knew now that despite all of her own personal hatred and problems, she didnâ€t have to face them alone anymore.

Focusing for now on the two school girls, Seraphimâ€s smile had never faded, clearly excited to have the two. They really seemed like quite the characters, and if Tracy brought them here, then she knew she could trust their judgment and they were more than likely a good fit. It was a great feeling to see some so eager to join. And even better! When she saw Tracy and Sindel meet, it really lightened her heart. Sindel seemed worried at first, as Tracy always did appear as a tough and rough around the edges sort of girl, and Sindel seemed to be hesitant because of that. But Tracy had actually given the girl a small hug and a warm greeting. It was really something to see, her two close sister like figures being so friendly like this. All it needed now was Minerva… ‘..If I knew whatever happened to her, that is…†Another depressing thought, but she shook it to the back of her mind, hoping to call her again when the time came just to check up on her.

Briefly, Seraphim looked back at Menai, just to check up on the hyperactive girl, and decided to give her something to do. Hearing the room service call, and how excited Menai was about it, Seraphim called the blue haired, high spirited girl over. “Hey lil†blue knight, how about you go check then? Iâ€m a little tied up here.” Seraphim said with a smirk, trying a few nicknames for Menai now until something stuck, finding her personality to be really unique and fun to enjoy.

With that done, knowing she was too busy to get the service at the door, Seraphim focused back on Yui and Shizuka, actually going to put both her hands out, willing to shake one with each of the girls as they expressed their interest. “Well! Tell ya what, Iâ€d be happy to have you aboard. For now, if you would just give us a few minutes to settle everyone down, I can explain everything.” Knowing she had a lot of people to attend to, but with so little time, Seraphim went on to try and get everyone situated, starting with these two girls as she went on to see who else was here. She was still missing Satomi, Karina, and Minerva, but in her heart, she knew they would come.

Wanting to talk with Masane, Seraphim was more focused on greeting the new faces than the people she knew, so she waited just a moment for her. Right now, the meeting hadnâ€t technically started yet, and everyone was just happily getting along. It was great to see so many warm smiles, new faces, and such a get-together, but Seraphim knew she had to get things started soon, and wanted to start assembling everyone.

With a few new faces still around, Seraphim spotted one that was seated at the far end that she didnâ€t quite recognize. No idea who Tatyina was, Seraphim excused herself from Yui and Shizuka for now, anxious to spend time with them later after she started the meeting, the crimson eyed woman went over to the lonely girl in gray at the far end. Taking a small breath, and taking on a lighter, more formal smile, Seraphim adjusted her color for a moment and then her eyepatch over her right eye, making sure she was presentable, before speaking towards the girl, trying to be a bit formal with her. “Greetings, my nameâ€s Seraphim, Iâ€m the one running this. Whatâ€s yours? I donâ€t think Iâ€ve ever seen you before.” Never breaking away from her smile, Seraphim was still happy regardless to see new faces. She knew that there was always the potential of an era of Hell spy, and had to be careful, but she had a good feeling about this girl, and would greet her none the less.

Sindel greeted each of the three girls before suddenly getting a sudden hug, pressing against her not being able to blush faintly from it. " I-- Uuhm.. Nice to meet you,Tracy. " When Tracy released the hug Sindel wanted to step back but instead she was pulled by the girl towards the food table, hesitant at first but then decided to ofllow her nonetheless, she might aswell eat something since she haven't ate thanks to her early work shift. " Sure. " She stood infront of the table with Tracy and checked numerous boxes to find out what kind of pizza's Seraphim ordered, twitching when she just couldn't find her own special pizza. She finally found something she liked though.. Cheese, meat, mushrooms.. She liked that! Sindel quickly sliced a piece of it and sat down on the chair to get comfortable and spend some time with Tracy before she'd check on the other numerous faces she has never seen before, she still had to keep her responsibility.

Menai was already running for the incoming room service girls when Seraphim called her.. Well.. Something like that! Menai rushed back to Seraphim and saluted infront of her. " Yes lady Seraphim! Anything for you! " She'd raise her fist up high hyperly before she turned to dash back to the girls, standing infront of her and placing the ice cream sword infront of her again in a knightly stance. " Why H-- " She then blinked when she heard something from beyond the door, stepping past them and wondered if there was more food coming. She opened the door and noticed three new people, Haruka, Yatori and Masato. " Hmm.. No ice cream.. " She'd then open the door all the way to let them in and grinned childishly at them. " Welcome! Lady Seraphim is a litttllee busy with all these guests but I'm sure Lady Sindel will be happy to inform you of any questions of joining our holy faction! " She'd then turn again to walk up to the two girls of the room service staff, looking at what they were bringing. " Where were we.. Oh right! Hiya! So whatya bring? Ice cream? "

It wasn't long before a strange girl entered, looking around with her oddly grey eyes. She wore a torn orange jacket, her large guitar behind her back and the black strap tightly over her body to keep it held neatly. She wore a simple bra and only her orange jacket around it, a strange tatoo above her left breast, which seemed like an ancient bird, she also wore black denim shorts covering half of what seemed to be a black fire tattoo, black knee stockings and what seemed to be a iPod holster around her thigh, the cord linked up over her body to her big orange headphones. She looked quite attractive with such a weird combination but she wasn't bothered. Once she found glimpse of what seemed to describe Seraphim, she walked past everyone to directly meet her,taking off her headphones down to her neck and without waiting for her to look at her she spoke with a gentle tone. " Sun Tzu once said: A leader leads by example not by force.. Because of that saying, I have one question for you, miss Seraphim.. Why do you lead? " The girl looked at Seraphim with antipation for an answer.

Tatyina was silently watching the people gather around from her place in the back. The atmosphere was quite pleasant and everyone seemed to be cheerful. It was a wonderfully cheerful mood and even if the crimson haired girl didn't smile, inside she felt quite good.

She was waiting for the meeting to begin when she finally noticed Seraphim making her way towards her. Her gray eyes widened slightly and a faint blush came over her pale cheeks. She couldn't understand why Seraphim would be coming towards her. Was she really not supposed to be here? She hadn't been officially invited so that could have been it.

But when Seraphim introduced herself, Tatyina was truly surprised and she blushed deeper. She immediately stood up and bowed deeply. "I am humbled to meet you Seraphim-ue." She said, addressing Seraphim with an archaic honorific. Her voice barely getting above awhisper. "Please forgive me for intruding but I was curious about the organization. Everyone seems to be in such good cheer. If this pleasant atmosphere can be maintained then I would like to lend my hand." She lowered her head, a somber look on her face despite the positive words she spoke. "I... Preach non-violence... But I will fight to protect my friends and comrades and those who would otherwise be unable to defend themselves and preserve a gentle and happy atmosphere." She sighed softly. "To find a group like this is an amazing thing." She said keeping her gaze just below Seraphim's eye level, always keeping her head down.

At first, Sophia's ears tingled and she immediately turned to the two maids with the trolleys. She was distracted for a moment, noticing that the two girls looked awfully familiar, but shrugged it off. When she turned back to Seraphim, she was already talking to someone. "Well... That was... quick." She muttered. Meanwhile, Olivia simply looked around, and saw that everyone was occupied talking with one another. She leaned her head in near Sophia's ears and whispered: "What should we do?" Sophia thought about it for a moment after hearing Olivia's question. There's nothing actually left to do. She assumed that she and Olivia are officially White Gale members. Looking around as well and seeing that everyone was occupied, she sighed before looking at all those food. Her stomach growled, and her face slightly blushed with embarrassment. "We eat." She said boldly, and Olivia simply nodded, not caring what Sophia wishes to do.

So the two girls headed towards the table that has all the kind of food available. Sophia's face was immediately flustered with thoughts. 'What should I eat?' She thought, the choices being too hard to make. Olivia looked at the large array of food and also admitted that she too have some trouble picking which food to eat. Seeing all the choices, Sophia turned to the carts and wondered what kind of food are there. She approached the two maids, before looking down at the food. "Excuse me, but what kind of-" She was cut off when she remembered something, and suddenly her head rose up to look at the two girls. Her eyes widened and gleamed when she realized who they are. "EHHH!? Chigusa Yuki and Megumi Mutoh!?!" Olivia meanwhile, started to pick up one of the pizza slices and started to chomp on it, slightly aware of what Sophia was doing.

Lately, Tracy hasnt been having any problems making new friends. It was really one hell of a change. A good change. From being a street rat, the weaklings' worst nightmare and a pretty dangerous criminal, to a lovely, friendly girl, it was a HUGE difference. And it was all thanks to Seraphim and little Alison. Thanks, you two! It was a debt she could never actually pay back, so she did her best proving everyone that she was a completely different person from that merciless kawaii who was eager to beat the living crap out of whoever stood in her way.

"Yum!" Tracy rubbed her hands together as she licked her upper lip, looking down at all the boxes with delicious pizzas inside. Which one should she 'attack' first? It was so hard to decide! Uncapable of just picking one, the red haired kawaii opened two boxes that were placed one right next to the other and took one slice of each, then turning around to follow her friend Sindel. "Heeeey~!" Tracy mercilessly bit the tip of the slice of pizza she had in her right hand. "Whafaait fhooor meee~!" She could barely speak with all the food in her mouth, but basically, she meant "Waaait for meee~!"

She sat on the chair right next to Sindel's, placing one of the slices on her plate while she gave the other one another bite. "Yum! It's really tasty~!" She exclaimed, again with her mouth full of food.

The schoolgirls shook Seraphim's hand gently, smirking widely at the white haired woman. Then they heard the other woman's request. Shizuka looked around, noticing how many new people has come since they came in. 'Woooow... This is so awesome~!' The purple haired schoolgirl then turned to face Seraphim once again. "You got it~!" She exclaimed, giving Seraphim the thumbs up. Yui, on the other hand, shyly bowed and murmured. "Yes, Seraphim-san. Thank you again for taking us in!" After that, the girls turned around and took a quick look at the place. Who should they go talk to?

Seeing that everybody was up to something already, the two girls went and sat just a couple of seats away from where Tracy and Sindel were. They thought that, as new members, they should stay close to the one who invited them to come. And that, of course, was our favourite redhead, bottomless pit friend, Tracy.

With Seraphim out to gather more things for the meeting, Sindel had to start taking charge and get people accustomed to one another, it was a tough thing to do since she was already busy checking the food with Tracy, so she had to get her little ' scout ' to make sure everyone was having a good time. She yelled out to Menai to come over, who playfully ran back to Sindel and bowed down onto one knee. " Yes, lady Sindel? " Sindel couldn't help but give her a pat on the head. " Go see if everyone is having fun, make sure this organization becomes.. A family. " Menai looked up with a bright grin, hopping back onto two feet and turned to look around at everyone, wondering who she should get to know first.

Then she noticed Sophia and Olivia, the weird bunny ears made her wonder and quickly dashed to Olivia and hopped up from her feet, landing infront of her with a grin. " Why hello there bunny girl! You look awesome! Wanna be friends? " Menai rubbed her hand against her side as if cleaning it before holding her hand up to Olivia, offering a handshake while she maintained her well known grin, even if Sindel asked her to do this, Menai herself would've gladly get to know every person here.

Sindel was watching the scene and couldn't help but sign, looking down at the box of pizza infront of her and mumbled. " Too hyper.. " She was about to take a slice when the mysterious Koumei, who had been waiting for Seraphim, stood next to her. " Sindel, wasn't it? Mind if we talk in private? " Sindel looked up and nodded, looking back at Tracy. " Take charge for a bit. " She'd then get back on her feet and follow Koumei to the corner far from the others to talk with her.
