Morning.

[ It's about the gruffest 'good morning' anyone may get around here. John's standing in the bailey, near Thranduil's tent. He's still wearing his black uniform, but instead of his assault rifle, there's a warhammer strapped to his back. When in Rome, right?

Also, his assault rifle modifications are just a little too high-tech to work. ]

My name is Staff Sergeant John Grimm of the United States Marine Corps. That might not mean anything to you, depending on where you're from, but it means I'm a soldier. A lot of you have gone out to help fight the worms, and that's good -- we need that. But we need people here to protect the injured and the civilians, too.

I'm recruiting people who can fight to work alongside the existing guards and help defend Caer Glaem in the event that one or more of those worms shows up. [ Or something else, if their luck decides to plummet. ] If you aren't armed, we'll get you something to use out of the armory.

This isn't a permanent position; I'm sure as hell not in charge around here. But it's an important one.

I'm Roxas, and count me in. I've got my own weapons, so I don't need one.

[Of course he's going to volunteer. Even though protecting Sora's Shard is more important to him than anything else, he's been "feeling" extremely guilty not going out to help with the worms.]

[Audio]

[chromosomes]

Roxas. Okay.

[ At least he's already met some people with odd names; 'Roxas' doesn't even make him blink. ]

Close or long ranged?

[13th_member]

[If 'Rocks-ass' ever comes up in the future, he will probably explode.]

Both, although I prefer close range. I can use magic for long range, but I can only use it a limited number of times. [Unless he finds some Ethers to chug.]

Tsurugi Kyousuke. [ He gives a small nod. ]

My skills aren't meant for killing things, [ which is why he isn't out helping with the offense, though he'd like to ] but I can help drive them back and keep them away from the injured.

[ video ]

[chromosomes]

That'll do.

Mind sharing what your skills are? [ He would understand if he did, though it would make it a bit more difficult. ]

[knightspirit]

Kick power, mostly, but I can also use an Avatar. They're a sort of personification made from projecting your spiritual aura into physical form.

[hexuality]

Haven't gotten too far out, yet, if you think I ought to head back.

[chromosomes]

We could use you, if you don't mind.

[ Also, he'd like to be able to have her back, if it comes down to it. ]

[hexuality]

[ Come off it, John, she can totally take care of herself. ]

You know, for someone not in charge, you definitely sound like it.

[judicatus]

I've slain greater foes than these.

[ Probably. He hasn't really gotten a good look at them yet. ]

The guard shall have my sword.

audio;

[chromosomes]

[ He'll take his word for it. ]

Make sure to set them on fire afterward. Apparently they regenerate from any pieces.

audio;

[judicatus]

[ Hmm. ]

I hold little power over the magick arts...and of that power, I've none to conjure flame.

[ This could be tricky. ]

Has the armory any supply of torches or similar implement?

[whatsleft]

((Ahaha!!! Fellow military man. -Well, not that that means much, generation gap mixed in with an obvious universe-difference... But he doesn't let the status go unnoted.))

I can help out, just tell me where I need to be.

[chromosomes]

[ Close enough, right? ]

You better at long- or short-range?

[whatsleft]

((UHM...)) Er, short? I use swords, but I've got equipment that has me cover long-range distances for attacks. You could probably count me as either-or?

[chiot]

'Ey!

Your a sergeant then, huh? Do you know how to fix pistols? [ Guard duty? Not for him. He wants to be out there! ]

[chromosomes]

Depends on what's wrong with it.

voice;

[altercate]

So you're temporarily in charge of protecting Caer Glaem. Temporarily until what?

voice;

[chromosomes]

Until whoever the hell is actually supposed to be in charge of protecting it shows their face, I guess.

[bullhorned]

I'll do your guard work. It's better'n cowering in fear.

[Curt. Simple. And aggressive. Fighting giant worms seems mad, but no madder than the rest of this. And at least he's taken the time to set aside arms and armor for such a situation. It's not all his own craft. But it would serve.]

[chromosomes]

My thoughts exactly.

[ A pause, Reaper going back through what he's seen on the locket. Ah- ]

You're the one who found the forge.

[ready_to_bloom]

I can help guarding. I have my sword, and if I could obtain a crossbow, that would be even better.

[chromosomes]

There are crossbows in the armory; we can get you one.

Hello there, Staff Sergeant John Grimm. I'll help wherever its needed, though I don't need a weapon. I have one of my own and I practice magic.

[She offers a small smile.]

My name is Deedlit, by the way.

[chromosomes]

[ Uh. ]

You can just go with "John", if you'd like.

[ Having people rattle off his whole name and rank will get very weird, very fast. ]

Any fire magic?
