-- Night Raid Hideout --

 

A group of individuals sat outside in the brisk cold of the evening wind. Tonight, these seemingly harmless children and young adults were going to be officially inducted into a group called Night Raid, an assassination squad part of the Revolutionary Army. Everyone of these people were also told that they were going that certain "preparations" needed to be made in order for them to officially join. What these preparations were, nobody knew; the group was just told to wait outside Night Raid's hideout and wait for instructions. All of them had been waiting for at least ten minutes now...

 

One of these individuals, a young and well built man with tan skin, blue hair, and strangly, an old branding iron strapped to his back with a rope, was actually fine with the wait. He was very interested in joining Night Raid, of course, but just not impatient to join. He preferred to take things slowly anyway.

 

The boy, named Seelo, standing with his hands in his pockets and chewing on the straw in his mouth, looked around the area, eyeing the others that were with him. He wasn't much of a conversationalist, so he really did not have it in himself to start talking to them. Considering their strange wear and looks, Seelo could tell they probably never lived on a farm either, like he did.

 

Man... buncha of colorful characters that I'm hangin' 'round... I wonder what they're like... Seelo thought to himself, his country boy tone deep set in the words he spoke in his head. If anythang, they're probably pretty good at fightin', like I am, 'r else they wouldn't be here lookin' to be a killer for these Night Raid folks...

Kotetsu stared at Akame for a seconds, still looking confused. She's kind of starting to scare me... He thought to himself. Thankfully, Leone decided to move the group along. He entered the building, still confused. I hope these other members aren't as weird as that one was... 

Oh jeeze this girl is definitely a character, quiet and strange, though she doesn't seem like she'd be someone you'd want on your bad side. Verona thought as she noticed Akame looking at them and Verona also recalled the few posters with wanted above Akame's name that she had passed during her times in the urban areas .

 

Hmm finally we're moving on with this. I wonder what kind of hideout a band of assassins stays in, Verona thought as the group proceeded inside. Verona absorbed her surroundings as they walked into the hideout. Oh wow, this is more extravagant that I thought it'd be, they must get quite a bit of money from the tasks they're assigned. I could get used to the idea of that. It's been a while since I've stumbled upon a decent sum of money. Well this doesn't seem like it'll be too bad at-least.  Verona transitioned from looking around at the base to paying her attention back to the group. Guess I'll soon see what this Night Raid group is made of Verona thought to herself with slight anticipation.

Harmony walked along with the group inside the Night Raid Base. She looked around in awe, observing in the feeling of the new environment she would possibly be staying in for the time being. Wow! This place looks marvelous. I wonder how much money it cost to create this base? Harmony thought. Harmony walked up ahead to Leone in attempt to gather more information about Night Raid. "How many members are there in Night Raid? And are all of them here now?" Harmony asked.

Leone

 

"Please leave all questions until the end of the tour!" Leone joked with the others, though secretly she was getting a little tired of all the questions. It was more fun just to lead them into the inner workings of her little group and see their reactions to everything that would transpire.

After walking through the majority of the main hall, Leone noticed out a window that a particular couple of people were in the outside training grounds, and figured it would be wise to take the new group out to meet them next.

 

"Alright, follow me!" Leone said, leading the group out a nearby door leading to the grounds, where the two figures turned out to be two young men, shirtless and doing push-ups; one boy had brown hair with green eyes, and the other had both green eyes and green hair.

 

"These two are Tatsumi and Lubbock!" Leone said as the two continued their exercise while acknowledging the appearance of the new assassinations. "One of whom I'm surprised is doing what he's doing right now..." Leone said, referring to Lubbock, who is known more for peeping around than training.

 

Lubbock

 

"Well, considering Tatsumi and I are the last two guys on the team, I figured I'd start taking things seriously. Who knows, I might even start getting ahead of Tatsumi!" Lubbock joked, his green hair dripping down along with the sweat rolling off his body.

 

Seelo

 

Oh. Well, sure is nice to see some fellow boys 'round these parts. They look like some hard workin' boys too. I can relate. Seelo thought, smiling as he was looking forward to getting to meet Tatsumi and Lubbock already.

(Firaga's letting me take on a few Night Raid members since I'm co-host, so here we go)

 

Tatsumi

 

"I won't let that happen too easily!" Tatsumi responded to Lubbock. He quickly looked up to see Leone, and noticed a group behind her. "Wait... Are those new recruits?" He asked, standing up to meet everyone. "I'm Tatsumi! Nice to meet you all." He grinned.

 

Kotetsu

 

These two don't seem nearly as weird as the others we met... Kotetsu thought. "Hello, Tatsumi! I'm Kotetsu, member of the Revolution Army." He introduced himself. He quickly checked to make sure he wasn't carrying any more food with him in the open, worried that he'd have to deal with a repeat of what happened before. He looked over at the man named Lubbock, too. Heh... I hope I can join these two in their training, too. I need to get as strong as I can... And I'd rather train with them than Leone or Akame.

Elektra looked over at Tatsumi and Lubbock. So there were some boy team members after all. Elektra wasted no time in introducing herself for what would easily be the fifth or sixth time within an hour. She raised her hand, her eyes having a special gleam of excitement. “Hello! I’m Elektra Basilia! From today on I kill people with you!” Elektra said with glee. Before anyone could stop her she rushed to Lubbock, shaking his hand harshly enough to make his arm wiggle with it. “Nice to meet you! Hopefully we will become close acquaintances or at least friends. May I add, you remind me of a green apple! Hopefully you won’t be as sour.” And with that she hurried over to Tatsumi, shaking his hand the same manner as she did Lubbock. “Nice to meet you as well! Hopefully we will be able to co-exist with each other without the need for excess violence or fights for dominance. Furthermore, the spikes in your hair remind me of a pineapple!” Elektra announced, smiling all the way. She still needed to adjust to ‘how to make friends normally without scaring them or insulting them’, but she was getting there…hopefully.

What do you mean this didn't happen

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lucifer giggled as he watched Elektra's attempt to make friends, quite awkward and still full of energy. He was already feeling pretty tired personally and would like to just skip the formalities. Walking behind her, he slightly tugged on Elektra's shoulder, sticking his tongue out. "You were okay at the acquaintance part. But you're getting better, at least."

 

Turning towards the two boys reminded Lucifer about how much he really needed to exercise too. Shrugging off the thought for now, he simply greeted them with a "Yo!" and a wave of his hand.

Harmony walked with the rest of the group outside of the Night Raid base to the Training Grounds. So this is the Training Grounds. Harmony thought as she took note of the surroundings. She noticed two young men training themselves by performing push-ups. Looks like they are training. She giggled as she heard Tatsumi and Lubback bicker back and forth about who is stronger than the other. Seems like they are having fun! I wonder if any of the members use swords. I could use some more sword training. Harmony thought.

 

She pushed her thoughts aside and introduced herself. "Hiya guys! I'm Harmony, the new recruit from the Revolutionary Army." Harmony said with a smile on her face.

Verona continued on outside with the rest of the group. She watched as the Lubbock and Tatsumi did their exercise. Verona felt they seemed dedicated to their crafts, she sensed that the two before her were stronger than your ordinary individual. Verona stayed in the back-lines just examining everyone and watching people do their small introductions and friendly chatter.

 

Everyone seems so bubbly and excited about everything, do i even belong here?  Verona thought to herself as she kept watching the interactions between everybody. Verona just felt somewhat out of place. She stayed quiet and spared Tatsumi and Lubbock from an introduction.

Lubbock / Seelo

 

Standing up with Tatsumi, the green haired Night Raid member was introduced to the quirky, new trainees that would hopefully become his fellow Night Raid kin. Most of them seemed to be fairly nice people, though Elektra seemed to be a tad on the weird side... also, he couldn't help but stare at both Harmony and Verona, even though the latter didn't bother to say anything at all.  Tatsumi and I are the only guys left, but I've got no problem at all with seeing more girls around here, Lubbock pervertedly thought, a wide smile crossing his lips.

 

Seelo once again stayed silent and decided to continue blending into the group and getting away with not speaking a word. He did, however, notice Lubbock's face and assumed that he was thinking of something funny, and not ha-ha funny either, more over strange funny. In Seelo's experience, the only time he ever saw another person wear that face was when he caught an old man trying to follow a lady into a public restroom...

Elektra felt delighted at Lucifer’s comment about her getting better at making friends. Years of being locked inside a room has left her with a lot to learn when it comes to social interaction and emotions. The same came to the morals and feelings of living beings. Not being able to really attach herself to something or someone long enough, made it easy for her to act without a second thought, which was one of the reasons she was assigned to the squad; she had no remorse or second thoughts when it came to killing and attacking. Seeing Lubbock’s smile, but not being able to read his true thoughts, Elektra’s mind figured it was because he was happy to be compared to a green apple, to which only made her more excited. “Lubbock Green Apple, Tatsumi Pineapple, are there any rules or suggestions that we should be aware of when it comes to co-living?” Elektra asked as she raised her hand in the air while asking her question.

Kotetsu noticed Lubbock's dirty grin, and sighed. He recognized that face much better than he wanted to: Some of his teammates in the Revolutionary Army would often stare at the other females in their group that way. He was always the poor guy who was dragged into their perverted antics. He leaned over to Verona, and whispered to her. "I'd watch out for that guy. I mean... Unless you're into guys like him." He warned her. "And... Don't attack anyone who happens to be with him if he ever tries anything stupid." He said, hoping no one would have to share that pain with him.

 

Tatsumi listened to Elektra's question, also aware of Lubbock's thoughts. "My suggestion is to stay away from Lubbock if he's got a goofy grin like this." He sighed. "And for the guys, avoid Leone when she's drunk." He teased Leone.

Harmony listened to Tatsumi as he gave advice to the newcomers. When she heard Tatsumi warn the newcomers to stay away from Lubbock if he has a goofy grin on his face. She looked at Lubbock whose face had a wide smile towards the direction where Harmony and Verona were standing. Harmony looked down at herself to see if she had something on her, but came to realization of what Tatsumi meant. I should've known! Why is there always have to be a pervert in a group? Lubbock has another thing coming if he thinks he can lay his hands on me! Harmony thought with mad look on her face.

Elektra looked at Tatsumi and then at Lubbock. She didn't know why she should stay away from him when having a grin like such, but following Tatsumi's advice regardless, she took a few steps back away from Lubbock just to take precautions. The most that she could think was that when Lubbock had that grin he wanted to hurt someone. She didn't felt like asking for why either, feeling that she might only end up going into an endless loop of why questions, much like a smaller kid would do with his or her parents. For whatever reason however, Harmony did look mad. Maybe it meant that Lubbock would hurt someone after all. Then a peculiar question came to mind. "Excuse me, Tatsumi, Lubbock, Leone. I know that we were asked to join this specific group because of certain skills. However, won't we be tested to see if we can keep up with the current members of the Night Raid?"

Damn....... he's just like me, Lucifer thought to himself in regards to the perverted smile. For a few moments, he considered making a comment on it, but then decided to just stay quiet.

Verona noticed Lubbock staring at her, it made her somewhat uncomfortable the look he was giving her. What's with this guy, he seems a bit creepy for sure Verona thought to herself. She decided not to really respond to it and just let things be. She was kind of curious to see as to who else was around here and what kind of people they were. Verona decided to just wait to continue on.

Lubbock / Leone / Seelo

 

"Hey, come on Tatsumi, I'm as innocent as can be," Lubbock said somewhat defensively, his smile gone and replaced with an annoying frown, though really he was not offended at all; he was just annoyed that Tatsumi was going to rat out his questionable behavior. He figured it would be best to keep that on the down low so that getting some peeps at the new girls would prove to be a lot easier.

 

Leone, in response to Tatsumi's jab, Leone casually laughed and made her way over to Tatsumi. "I don't know about that, Tatsumi. I'd be lying if I say that the new boys here didn't peak my interest," she said, flashing Kotetsu, Lucifer, and Seelo a look, "but don't forget that I gave you my mark, little man," she said, hooking her arm around Tatsumi's neck and pulling him close to her chest. "And I still intend to make you mine when you become a man," she whispered into his ear with a seductive tone, causing Lubbock nearby to become a little envious.

 

Seelo gulped at Leone's actions. W-well, I never... this lady here could make a snake crawl out of its own skin... he said, referring to how nervous and scared Leone was making him, though he tried his best to keep himself still, his arms and legs slightly shaking from his nervous feelings.

 

(Sorry if I'm not answering questions, but I'm saving that information for the end of the tour. Just sit tight.)

I wasn't aware that Leone was a man and Tatsumi was a woman, unless I'm mixing things up and you aren't doing Leone's usual thing.

Tatsumi was prepared to reply to Lubbock's lie, but was interrupted when Leone attempted to seduce him as usual. "H-hey, cut that out!" Tatsumi shouted, getting tired of Leone's perverted nature around him. He began to shiver, wondering what would kill him first: a mission, or Leone suffocating him with her body. He struggled to escape her grasp, but was unable to save himself.

 

Kotetsu was a bit confused. He'd had many experiences in his life, but he'd never once had a girl seem to act... Interested in him. He spent most of his time in the army with other guys, and didn't really interact with girls for that long, especially since his teammates usually drove them away with their perverted acts. Sure, he'd had friends that were females, but he never really noticed them say anything like Leone had just said. Thankfully, she seemed more interested in Tatsumi than him at the time. He felt bad for Tatsumi, but at the same time, glad that Leone wasn't targeting him instead. He wasn't really sure how he'd deal with that.

(Okey dokey)

 

Elektra tilted her head to the side. Maybe they didn’t hear her question? Regardless, she’d ask again later. Right now she was more interested on the interactions happening before her. Such varied emotions across from the different members was rather interesting. Leone seemed to ‘hug’ Tatsumi, much to his dismay, and Lubbock seemed to want a hug as well, as he glanced at the two with what could be classified as jealousy or envy. “(Poor Lubbock isn’t receiving a hug! He must be feeling left out!)” Elektra thought. Feeling in to ‘help’, she dashed at Lubbock before hugging him. “Don’t worry Lubbock if Leone won’t hug you I can’t share a hug!” Elektra said as she rested her head against Lubbock in the hug, hugging rather tightly too, as tightly as she could not knowing when it would be enough.

"Wait Elektra, don't...." Lucifer called out, but stopped mid sentence. She ended up strangling Lubbock inadvertently. Now that was a scene he could admire. Leone's flirting on the other hand, would be something he would simply ignore. Sighing, he turned to Kotetsu. "Did you expect this at all? Honestly..... nothing can surprise me anymore at this point." Lucifer whined half-heartedly, drowning in the cheerfulness of the group. Deciding to just join in on the cheerfulness, he tapped Elektra's shoulder. "I need a hug too."

"Nope, wasn't expecting any of this." Kotetsu sighed. He was about to continue, until Lucifer decided to join in on Elektra's antics. Yeah... I'm pretty much the only normal one here at this point. He thought, beginning to wonder if he'd really get along with any of the other members of Night Raid. He looked at the other members. Seelo looked terrified of Leone, Harmony had been glaring at Lubbock, and Verona was being as quiet as usual. This group is so weird...

Elektra looked to the side to see Lucifer asking for a hug as well. “Of course!” Elektra said, wrapping her free arm around Lucifer and bringing him into a hug, now hugging Lucifer with one arm and Lubbock with another. As far as she’s read, hugs are a way to display physical affection, and in certain times a hug was necessary for the sake of emotional stability, at least that’s what the book had said. Her glance caught Kotetsu. “Do you need a hug too?!”

"Uh... No thanks, I'm good." Kotetsu spoke nervously. He was never much of a hugger... In fact, he'd rarely received them anyway. At this point, he just wanted to get moving along so he could get on to a mission. As much as he liked being around other people, he was starting to get a bit exhausted due to having to deal with such a... Different group. He was still trying to recover from nearly having his hand bitten off, and this was starting to be a bit too much.

Lucifer wrapped Elektra with both of his arms, before positioning in a way that she couldn't see his face. Smiling at his success, he flashed Lubbock an even dirtier look in retaliation for earlier.

Harmony looked at the scene in front of her with a blank stare. I thought I've seen worse, but this is definitely the weirdest moment I had in my life. The annoyed girl cleared her throat loudly to get everyone's attention. "Umm. . . Shouldn't we get back on the tour around the base and finish meeting the members?" Harmony asked.
