Operation "this will most likely end badly" is a go

[soulofaginger.livejournal.com]

Who: G and anyone who wants to go on his little expedition~
What: G spits up the volunteers into groups and they head out to explore~
When: Day 16
Where: The meeting place by the training grounds
Warning: G's fantastic use of words

In the early hours of the morning G had made it to the designated meeting spot. He had a good amount of volunteers, and hopefully they would all show despite the strange dream. He for one planned on seeing this woman and whatever was in the forest, though he would understand those who backed out.

So he waited there, smoking a cigarette and standing by a lantern, watching the sun rise as he waited.

((OOC: G is essentially planning to split people into groups and send them off to explore, so if you have any requests on who to get stuck with, let me know in a header otherwise it will just be at random.))

G waves in greeting and looks around at the small group. It was time to start splitting up the groups.

"Yeah, this is it..." And he looks over her over, chuckling at how out of breath she was "Have a seat and rest for a minute, we're in no rush."

"Thanks." Jade leaned against a tree, sighing. Though she hoped no one would notice, it had probably become apparent that she hadn't brought anything to defend herself with. Might as well explain.

"Um, I went down to the weapons shop, but they refused to give me anything. I guess because I'm replacing a princess and they are supposed to be the ones getting saved, not the ones fighting." That was so disappointing. Even if she was not especially strong, the girl could handle a firearm like the best of them. It made sense, of course — the thought of Sleeping Beauty running around with an Uzi was pretty silly — but it was frustrating nonetheless. Watching everyone suffer through the puppet incident was bad enough, and if there was anything at all she could do to prevent another event like that, she wanted to at least try.

She shot G a hopeful look. "Is it still alright for me to go? I promise I won't be too much trouble!"

"I'll be with you, so it'll be all right," pipes up Minato, having come over after G's assignment. Being a large dragon with teeth and claws and thick scales and the ability to fly (and affect a bit of the weather because that's just what Japanese and Chinese dragons are: weather gods of a sort -- not that he's actually realized this yet, but if a localized rainstorm pops up around him, you know who to blame), he theoretically should be able to protect her. And he means to.

"My name is Minato Arisato. What's yours?"

If they were going to be traveling together, really knowing names seems a good idea, yes? Minato would normally maybe give a slight smile, except that dragons can't really smile. Or if they do, it looks about as weird as dogs smiling, so instead he just sort of twitches his tail and two whisker things coming off of his snout.

G smirks, she would be safe with Minato, however, just to be of the safe side, he takes out a pocket knife and tosses it to the girl.

"And now you're armed as well. I'll leave it to the two of you then." And he turns to head off with his little group, giving them a little wave as he does so "Watch yourselves."

"Jade Harley," she replied, discernible excitement in her voice. Finally, she would get to do something around here. Minato's newly acquired appearance didn't faze her much, as she had gone up against stranger looking things back in the medium. She simply grins at him, gripping the knife G gave her.

"Ready to go?"

((ooc: Yes, we should move over to the other log. Just comment there whenever you want to get started and I'll follow. ^^))

He nodded, lashing his tail again. "Let's do this..."

_{ooc: Right-o~ I'll go post there in a minute or two.}
