Hello, guys! So, it's come to my attention that I need a sustainable schedule to release my Takes on, because I know the way I've been releasing my Takes have become rather... [i]Inconsistent[/i]. So, I hope to change that! Here's how it's going to be from here on out. [b]Weekdays[/b]; One Take every two days (one day to prepare it upon release of the new Take, and the second day to give it one last look over and release it) [b]Weekends[/b]; One Take every day [b]Holidays[/b]; Whenever, if I have free time. So, ehe, let's hope this works, amigos! [quote]Missed the previous Take? No worries: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/188641613 (Take 52) https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/150599228 (Snark's ☆.。.:*・°☆future☆.。.:*・°☆ Stories)[/quote] [quote][b]If you want to be kept up to date on my new Takes, just follow #gotclass! It's much, much, much easier than me trying to hunt you guys down.[/b][/quote] [quote]New around these parts? Don't fret, have a Chapter Index! https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/151518733[/quote] [b]Meet the Team... [I]Fire[/i]team[/b] [b]Warlock[/b] Awoken, Female Generally all flowers [b]Hunter[/b] Human, Male Roses [b]Titan[/b] Exo, Male Sunflowers ____________________________ "Hunter, check on the guests..." The Warlock told him as she sat prepared the horderves herself. The Hunter was of little to no help, this, she swore. "Fine, fine, 'Lock." The Hunter muttered. "But ya better not add any of that gross veggie junk you like to put in your s'more curves." "[i]Horderve[/i]--" "Bleh!" The Hunter cut her off as he exited the kitchen. He was [i]not[/i] in the mood for the Warlock's corrections, not when they were supposed to be enjoying a [i]party[/i]. "Okay, here goes..." The Hunter said to himself as he took a deep breath, surveying the crowd of guests. "Time to entertain these folks..." With that, the Hunter entered the sea of party goers. Sauntering through the guests, he stopped as he spotted a female dressed in what the Hunter referred to as "nerd" attire sat quietly on one of the couches among the guests, one leg crossed over the other as she read a book. "'Eyyyyyy..." The Hunter greeted her as he leaned against the arm of the couch. "How's the party goin' for ya?" The Warlock nodded once, looking at him. "It's nice," she answered simply, uncrossing her leg. The Hunter kept a grin plastered on his face. No, this was [i]not[/i] going to be an awkward introduction. [i]Not[/i] today. "Ehe. Ehehehe... Ya got a name?" "Stela." She replied. "Stela Blackrose." "You came with anybody tonight?" The Hunter tried to strike a conversation, but... "No." Stela answered once again as simple as possible. [i]Yikes...[/i] the Hunter thought. She was [i]not[/i] making this easy. He had to escape from this rapidly uncomfortable situation. He darted around the room with his odd-colored eyes until he spotted an old "friend"; Rush, hanging out with some other party goers. Perfect, just the excuse he needed. Now he just had to find a way to let her down easy. "Uh... Nonspecific excuse!" The Hunter blurted quickly as he briskly stood up straight again and walked into the pool of guests. Stela blinked, confused as she watched the Hunter run off so [i]rudely[/i]. Suddenly, a hand was placed onto her shoulder, which naturally made Stela look up to see who it was. It was the Warlock from the Hunter's Fireteam. "Ah, you will have to excuse him. He is very intolerable sometimes." The Warlock said as she offered Stela an appetizer from the platter that she had in her other hand. "Actually, one might say all, if not most, of the time." "Oh, thank you." Stela thanked as she took one of the morsels off the plate. ____________________________ "Eeeeeeeey Rush~!" The Hunter greeted as he approached his old acquaintance. Rush stopped the discussion he was engaged in to look at the Hunter. "Hey, Hunter." Rush waved with a hand before putting it in his pocket. "I was just talking with my Fireteam." "Woah snap, you came here with your [i]posse[/i]?" The Hunter chuckled as he crossed his arms. "Where have [i]they[/i] been all my life? Why don'tcha introduce me to 'em?" Rush nodded. "Sure," he said before directing his attention back to his Fireteam. He used his other hand to point at each of his Fireteam members. He pointed at an Exo Titan first. "That's Dennis," Rush said. "'Ey." The Hunted greeted Dennis, and Dennis waved once in reply. Rush then pointed at another Exo, but this one was a Hunter. "That's Gizmo." Rush continued. "How ya doin'?" The Hunter greeted. "Not much." Gizmo replied with a shrug. Rush nodded at the two before pointing at another Titan, but she was a human female. "That's Maria. And finally," Rush went on before pointing to an Awoken female Warlock "That's Emilia." "Pleased to meet you." Emilia said politely before dipping her head. "You got [i]that[/i] on your team?" The Hunter said before guffawing which made Emilia flinch, and Rush frown. "Oh that-- Oh that is just-- [i]Sheesh[/i]! She looks too cute to be part of your Fireteam!" He continued, trying to stop himself from laughing to talk straight. "[i]What[/i]?" Rush, however, was far from amused. "[i]Nothing's[/i] wrong with Emilia!" "Oh-- Woah there, cowboy!" The Hunter snickered, raising his hands to his chest defensively. "I'm only sayin' my 'Lock's packin' more heat than your Lock. That's all m'dude." "Oh really? That's [i]all[/i]?" Rush said through gritted teeth. It was taking him everything he had not to teach this Hunter a lesson. Sure, he and the Hunter had a history. But insulting one of his Fireteam members, both to his [i]and[/i] her face, was completely unnecessary. [i]Completely[/i]. ____________________________ The Warlock navigated around the crowd of party goers with a notepad and pencil in hand to make sure everyone was accounted for. "Ah, let us see..." She began maneuvering her head around. "Zara? Is there a... ah... [i]Zara[/i] here?" She called out. No reply. She sighed, continuing to navigate around the room before she stopped near the snack table. She wouldn't stop for just anything, but in this case she spied somebody pouring a powdery substance into the punch bowl. "[i]Ahem[/i]." The Warlock cleared her throat audibly to get the person's attention. And just as intended, it got their attention, making them jump. "Eugh! Uh... Hey!" The person laughed nervously as they waved with one hand, and tucked the packet that housed the powder into their pocket. The Warlock blinked for moments before finally speaking. "Are you Zara?" She inquired. "Hm? Oh, yeah, yeah I'm Zara! Heh, that's me!" Zara chuckled. "Yeah, that's me..." "Hm... Very well then." The Warlock said before turning away from Zara and walking back into the crowd. [i]Note to self; Watch out for Zara.[/i] she thought to herself. [i]And change the fruit punch...[/i] ____________________________ "Markus!" Cosm0 called her com padre. "We should make pals!" She suggested. "The more pals the better~!" "Sounds like an idea!" Markus agreed, nodding. "Are we both gonna do it orrrrr--" "You, of course~!" Cosm0 exclaimed. "You're my Markus, and Cos-mommy tells [i]her[/i] Markus what to do right now! You promised remember?" "Oh, right right right." Markus nodded before getting up from the couch. "I'll be back in a bit!" ____________________________ Sasha looked around the room of party guests. She could make some friends here, she [i]should[/i] make some friends here. But, where should she start? "Where [i]should[/i] I start?" Sasha talked to herself. "C'mon Sasha old girl! No time to be nervous. You just gotta go out there!" She continued ramble on to herself. "But, how do I break the ice?" "You could always sell your soul!" Markus suggested as he randomly appeared beside her. "I mean, I sold mine to my buddy Cosm0, and look at me!" He jerked a thumb to himself. "[i]I'm fine[/i]..." Sasha said nothing, and backed away slowly. He really did not sound fine. Not at all. [quote]Take 54 and hopefully it ain't a bore~!: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/190114008[/quote]
