[PLOT] [Date: 03/01/21] [Location: Legion HQ -- Thomas' Chamber] [Characters: Thomas and SHADOW PEOPLE, RAAAH] [Time: 8:05]
------ Thomas sat at his desk, watching a live feed of what looked to be the outside of a building. He grunted and pressed a button on his desk and the screen changed to another camera, this time inside of a building. It seemed that the tournament registration had begun. He wondered just how many Mega Men would join... Thomas pulled up a list of the current entries, after 2 minutes 01) Unknown -- HUMANOID -- 26 -- MALE 02) Alfonzo Esquire -- HUMANOID -- 21 -- MALE 03) Alki Ambrosi -- HUMANOID -- 20 -- FEMALE Thomas ran a check on the first name, as he found it hard to believe that his name wouldn't be known...but sure enough, it wasn't. He grunted again and finished reading through the file. Seemed this one was a Mega Man. He closed that file and went to the next one. This one, Alfonzo, seemed to be a rather...interesting character. He also appeared to be a Mega Man. Two Mega Men? Perhaps they were more abundant than he first expected. Grunting (A THIRD TIEM?) he pressed a button on his desk. "Send them in..."

Not even a second after Thomas had pressed the intercom button and request that 'them' be sent in, Thomas' shadow stood up, shifting around slightly and gaining color until this figure, an exact copy of Master Thomas only with a darker color scheme, stood there, his arms crossed.
"You should know I'm a busy man, Thomas, I don't have time to just drop what I'm doing because you need to speak with me," Teos sneered, looking over the office that they currently resided in. Of course he knew that Thomas didn't want to talk to just him, but Teos wanted to make sure that Thomas knew the hassle that he went through to get halfway across the city in 5 minutes without the use of a transerver.
"The others should be here shortly...what's up? Don't tell me you're already scared about the tournament results, are you?" Pfft. Earthlings.

Shortly after the first figure finished talking, another walked in. She was tall and lithe, with a runner's body and form fitting garbs. "Have more respect for Master Thomas!" She snapped at the figure, before bowing to Thomas. "I salute you, Master Thomas. I came at your call."
She would straighten from her bow at Thomas's permission. "If I may; does our gathering have to do with the tournament as my co-worker here so rudely suggested?"

Not too long after the second figure walked in, there was a third figure walking in right after her. This figure was clearly a male, with a green Reploid triangle on his head. The young man stayed silent as the woman scolded Teos, before saluting Thomas.
"Greetings, Master Thomas."
Well, Teos was Teos. He wasn't really surprised, and was quite used to the other's behavior by now. What was now important, however, was the reason that they had been summoned.
"So what brings us all here?"

And last but not least, was Mariana, who's eyes flickered to every member of the party before she focused on Master Thomas. Yes, it seems like he was now looking at the contestants and wondering what to do. Mariana herself had been busy recently trying to prepare for the tournament and now it seems to be that she was called in.
"... What do you need of us, Master Thomas?" She asked him. of course she naturally ignored Teos because he's rude and insane... whatever. She'd rather stick to Caden now. He was much... kinder. Plus.. something in the back of her mind...
Oh well.

"No, Teos, I'm not." he said, sounding rather grouchy at Teos' attitude. Thomas waited until all four of them were present before continuing. In the meantime he continued looking over the list which was constantly being updated. 01) Unknown -- HUMANOID -- 26 -- MALE 02) Alfonzo Esquire -- HUMANOID -- 21 -- MALE 03) Alki Ambrosi -- HUMANOID -- 20 -- FEMALE 04) Voile Phare -- HUMANOID -- 20 -- MALE 05) Imit Phare -- HUMANOID -- 20 -- MALE 06) Girouette Wylie -- REPLOID -- 31 -- Male 07) Siarnaq -- REPLOID -- 24 -- MALE Seven people now, Thomas wondered how many of the new comers to the list were also Mega Men. After the last of them, Mariana, entered the room Thomas stood up and turned around, moving to steps backwards towards the window and looking out. "You remember our goal, correct?" he asked before turning around. It was a rhetorical question, but he asked it anyway. "I need one of your four to do something for me. There is a...certain entree in the tournament that the Legion HQ has little information on." Thomas motioned to the screen as he pressed a few buttons on his desk, soon an image of Kai showed with the little information that was still on his file below it. "Who feels like doing a little recon?"

"Rude? I thought you knew me better than that, Valarie." Teos said, pretending to be hurt. He turned his attention to Thomas after the rest of there group was present and listened to what he had to say.
Teos frowned. Was this man serious? He called all together for...recon?
"You mean to tell me that I came all the way here for a stupid task such as recon? You could have requested that with the communication link we have set up, its there for a reason." Teos said, his voice cold. He even spat at Thomas. He was not amused that this was why they were all called together.
...but he knew that wasn't the case. He figured Thomas had something else he wanted to say as well. Deep down, Teos knew that Thomas wasn't as stupid as most earthlings. He always seemed to have some method behind his actions...but for now, Teos just wanted to play the part of the annoyed and hateful extraterrestrial.

Gah, Teos! Valaria had to bite her tongue lest she say something brash, and instead stepped forward, giving Teos a scowl. "Master Thomas. If I may have the honor of performing this mission on your behalf." She said after turning to Thomas and bowing slightly. It didn't look like that good-for-nothing Teos was going to offer any help.
"I will station sentries to follow him and those he associates with." Valarie lifted her head slightly from her half bow. "If I may be entrusted with what little information we do have on the subject, I will return with results...speedily."

Oh for Asimov's sake, were Teos and Valarie at it again? Those two always butted heads, and in front of Master Thomas, too! Mariana seemed to be the only sane one out of the other three, it looked like. Perhaps it was all for the better. The blue hair reminded him of his sister, so it was nice to be able to talk to her.
"Of course," He said in response to the rhetorical question. Recon, eh? With one of the entrants, which seemed to have little to no information. That would be up Valarie's department.
"Valarie seems to have to have this well in the bag, though if she wishes to use some of the more speed and stealth-based members of my team, I won't decline."

Mariana herself looked back at Caden as Thomas spoke up, but she didn't say anything as Teos opened his stupid mouth again. Why did Thomas hire him anyway? He hardly does anything useful outside of being... there. She then looked over to Valerie, not making any comments about it. Might as well let her do what she wants to.
"..." She then looked back. "I guess you have an offer, then." She'd back off this time. It lets her spend more time with Caden anyway.
Mariana folded her arms and remained passive for now, looking between the other four as she waited for someone to speak to her for something.

"Teos, I'd advise you not do that again." Thomas hissed, throwing a sharp glare in Teos' direction. He held that glare for a few seconds before switching his focus back to Valarie. "Thank you, my dear. You can take Caden with you, if you desire. I don't want any mistakes."
He turned his attention to Mariana, taking a deep breath before starting. "I'd like it if you'd return back and monitor the registration, make sure nothing goes wrong.
...as for you, Teos, I'd like you to return with Mariana and remain on standby. You've done enough involving the tournament today. And...can you two try not to kill each other? That's an order.
Any further questions?" he asked, looking at the four of them in turn.

Hmph. Standby? Looks like Thomas was hurt.
He chuckled. "Standby, Thomas, really? Fine. We'll play by your rules. I have no further questions." Teos turned and walked to Mariana, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Well, my dear, Thomas has requested that we go back together...and, he said it himself, I've done enough today. In fact, I'm rather...tired..." he grinned as he morphed into a blob, soon forming a darker colored version of Mariana. "Let's go, then, shall we?" his grin remained as he slowly sank into Mariana's shadow, soon he had completely vanished.

Valarie resisted the urge to smile at Master Thomas berating Teos. Not that the alien would really care. Such disrespect he showed Master Thomas! It was a wonder he was still around! When Thomas spoke to her, she smiled proudly, bowing again. "Yes sir! I won't let you down!" She said, before taking a step back to be in line with the others.
Val had no questions, so she remained silent as Thomas looked to her and then the others. Once they were dismissed, she would step over to Caden and begin to discuss their plan of action.

Caden wanted to roll his eyes as Teos continued to be a loudmouth and annoy people that were present. Honestly, he was like Andy sometimes - they both opened their mouths and said stuff to their superiors and got scolded. People were strange, honestly.
"Yes Master Thomas," He said. He had no questions, so once they were dismissed, he stepped closer to Valarie and discussed their plan of action. Poor Mariana. Hopefully she could stay sane with Teos around.

Mariana wrapped her arms around her stomach and shrunk a bit when Teos came up to put his arm around her and plane his hand on her shoulder. That was way too close for her comfort but she didn't want to be made fun of if she told him she didn't like that. Then he had to morph into herself!
What a jip. Was she that fat? ... Ugh, Teos. Either way, she moved ahead as he melded into her shadow to open the door and leave the area, taking a glance at Caden.
"Right, let's go." She sighed and then went off to check the applicants.
