Outside of the entrance to Narshe sits two airships. One a smaller, faster looking ship, the other slightly older, but sturdy.:The soldiers line up front, preparing for the debriefing. Snow flutters down from the sky and the night air chills their bones, but they stay for the cause. Doc, Chamber, Tech, and other officers stand near the airships preparing to quickly fill in the soldiers: (OOC- Thursday is the day I'd like to get this all hashed out. SO everyone reading and participating in this SL get here. I may and probably will 'control/move' your characters around a little to get them places and not be left behind. Don't be offended, its because of my schedule and I don't want to leave anyone hanging anywhere. SO HURRY!! )

:Airlia stands at the back of the large crowd of soldiers. She's amazed how many are out waiting for their doom. She grabs a cloak off a pile on a cart passing by and covers up. She crosses her arms and waits:

He goes out to see the troops lining up to get ready for something coming and also sees the doubtful Airlia Eyanson. He simply stands, ignoring the cold of the storm, around to see wait for his briefing... although he personally wants to say something about her doubts, he does not know where to start.
I do hope you have see the light at the end of the tunnel when the time comes... I really hope so.

*Jas watches sliently as the soliders gather* (Another meaningless war.) Jas thought to himself. (If the Cetar were still alive, we could of asked for their assistance and end this quickly without any blooshed. But thanks to that damn Jenova, I'm the only one left)

::Eva stood leaning against the wall looking out at the soliders as they line up for the debriefing and raised an eyebrow when she noticed Airlia grabbing the cloak and she grinned to herself slightly::
Always the mysterious one eh?
::A hard breeze passed by while Eva moved a strand of hair out of her face and she looked up at the sky::
Another war another fight....I wonder how long a person can do this before they get tired out....

::Rainii, like the others, stands back and watches the soldiers. She's not entirely confident in this plan,whatever it was. It just seems so...haphazardly put together, she was having a hard time imagining victory.::
What are we getting ourselves into?
::More important on her mind--just what was she getting Esthar--and Julie--into?:::

:Doc pulls a mic up from a loudspeaker on the airship:
"Alright, I see there are more soldiers coming down but just fill in everyone to make sure they understand whats going on."
:There is a soft rumbling in the distance to the south. Doc pauses hesitantly:
"The Empire has their forces coming up here. They knew we were here and we knew they knew. Its a matter of timing. Regardless we have a plan and I understand some of you doubt our organization, but we were figuring up the best teams. THe bulk of the Resistance will stay in Narshe and protect the city. It's imperative that we do not lose our position here since this is really the only battle fortified area thats prepared to fight."
:Doc waves at the others near him and they quickly board the large ship:
"There are groupings for our very special warriors."
:Doc pulls out a list as the recruiter approaches him. They exchange words and two teams of ten enter each ship as support and crew:
"The groups are as follows:"
(OOC- These are the groupings, so whatever group you are in you do as you're instructed.)
"Team one is with me in the large airship here. If I call your name off hurry up and load in, we need to be gone. Chaos, Jas, Edwin, Rainii, Clerian, and Julie. All of you are to board now and you'll be filled in on the mission once we are in safe area."
:He looks down at the list:
"Team two are going to board the smaller attack ship here. Zion, Airlia, Eva, Dante, Natalia, Lekalii, and Cherai. Please board as soon as possible."
:Doc folds up the list and pockets it:
"For the rest of you there are specific instructions left for the commanding officers."
:Doc turns and boards the ship:
(OOC- Characters not named will stay in Narshe to defend. There will be just as much action here as well, so don't be disappointed. You'll also be leaving eventually. These characters are the Team three: Mog, Youjin, Kerion, Mel, and Sharina)

:Airlia sees some of the others come up as the speech ends. Without saying anything to anyone she pushes her way thru the crowds of soldiers to the smaller airship. She approaches and gets a sick feeling in her stomach like every other time she rides airships. The ship looks salvaged. Its all patchwork primered gray and rickety looking. What appears to have been a nice attack ship sits in front of them as a prayer from the people of Narshe. She still boards and enters the control room silently, finding the furthest back seat away from everyone else:
(OOC- Please hurry guys, groups will break on Friday to their respective areas...also groups for each airship go to the respective sections)

:: As soon as Julie exits the inn, she shivers a bit. Obviously, she hadn't had the foresight to wear something to cover her legs. ::
Note to self - no more short skirts in Narshe.
:: Still, she had dealt with things like this with her old waitress uniform in Deling City. So she tries a little trick she learned - concentrating her innate magic on body heat. It only helps a little bit, but at least takes the edge of the cold off. And she can't help but feel she won't even notice it once they're back in battle and the adrenaline starts going. She chuckles at that thought. ::
I'm getting used to this stuff already.
:: It's a bit scary, being used to things like fighting evil Empires for the freedom of however many worlds there were out there. But Rainii always seems to have come out alright... and their father, too. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad... ::
:: Suddenly, she looks up when she hears Doc call her name. ::
"Team one"? And we're on an airship!
:: She's not as excited as she would have been before Laguna, and the Ragnarok. But with the cheerful disposition of the Loire family... that doesn't exactly matter. ::

((OOC: I'll just say she came in here. I know she didn't register with the resistance or anything - have someone confront her if needed, but this is really her style. She just walks in and acts like she belongs.))
:: Melaina walks into the area as what she assumes is the 'Resistance' that moogle talked about seems to be organizing teams. She casts a glance at the two airships. ::
So now we've got airships too.
:: They didn't look like much, but they would fly. Maybe. Melaina assumes the Resistance is smart enough to not waste their time with faulty airships. Or else they'll be of no use to her. ::
:: Then next thought in her mind, as she observes this paltry organization is how none of them are likely to be aware of the plight of the Espers in this confrontation. Nor do they know that they have one among them. ::
Sort of...
:: Melaina winces at the unbidden thought - reminding her of her recently discovered human half. Then again, some of these humans were more powerful than they seemed. Maybe that part of her would become useful in this battle. Considering her long-held dislike for humans, though... she highly doubts it. ::

:At the entrance of the town, not far from the soldiers being given assignments and the airships appears Mog. Suddenly a large group of armed moogles join his side as well as their large yetti friend, Umaru. The group waits silently, knowing they don't need instructions more than to defend Narshe:

Chaos left the Inn and walked to the entrance of Narshe to see the airships. He overherd Doc saying what team he was apart of and entered the airship that team was supposed to go on. He stayed quiet as he sat down waiting for more instructions. He closed his eyes and waited patiently for the others to join him on the ship.

::Rainii looks at Julie, who is next to her, and Clerian, who is standing behind her.::
"That's our cue."
::They head toward the airship and begin to board,and as they do, Rainii takes one last look back at those she knows still standing in the crowd.::
Hopefully...this will not be the last time I see you.

Zion walks out into the cold just in time to hear the names called. He makes no outward expression but is none too pleased to hear he's working with that summoner. He keeps his composure about it and quickly boards his assigned ship, knowing they can't afford to waste time.

Dante hears his name called for to head to the small airship. He boards the airship, sits wherever is available and accessible within it, sits down, and waits for departure with Unforgiven hooked upon his trench coat since it will be a distraction holding it.
"So... it begins."

"Mog, Kerion, Mel, and Sharina" :Youjin mutters to himself wondering about this team of people and if he'd be paid or at least given food and water to allow him live long enough through what was to come, he walks off to find somewhere to sit and prepare himself for what was to unfold:

:The soldiers begin filing off. Some stay around the entrance with the moogles and others head back into town. And officer stands at the entrance calling out:
"Any of the assigned heros please stop here to see me for special details"

*Kerion heard the announcement and sighed, knowing he wouldn't be seeing much combat, unless the enemy came to them* (So I'm stuck with guard duty, how boring!) he thought. *He was perched on one of the roof tops with a bottle of what appeared to be alcholic. His Punisher laying next to him so he could quickly grab it in a moment's notice*
