The scene opens up in what appears to be a coffee shop, the geographic location isn't quite clear. TPK, Matt Acid, and David Diamond sit around a circular table, Dave and Matt have coffee mugs in hand, whilst TPK has a ridiculously large platter of waffles in front of him. Diamond stares in amazement as TPK scarfs down the breakfast delight with unnatural speed, meanwhile Matt just nurses his coffee, going on as if this is totally normal.
3D: Ok, now that you're done with...that. You mind telling us why the hell you called for a meeting in the middle of nowhere?
TPK calmly wipes the sticky syrup away from his mouth, allowing the team manager's question roll around in his mind for a few moments. Although, it's apparent, this was no routine breakfast get together. TPK slowly nods, and shifts his gaze between his two allies, before leaning back in his seat and exhaling sharply.
TPK: Simple, we need to expand. Right now we have Matt, you are good at dealing massive damage. You are like a Monk...maybe a Paladin. David, you have a high charisma stat, you could charm the pants off of a nun.
Matt: Shit, I've seen that one first hand...
TPK: That...seriously?
Diamond feels as if the entirety of the coffee shop is glaring at him, though in reality it's only TPK and Matt Acid doing the staring. A few awkward moments pass, and David simply laughs it off, prompting TPK to get back on point.
TPK: Right, like I said high charisma. Lastly you have me, the damage sponge of the group. Now, while these three elements are pretty good, we each lack one key ingredient here. Neither one of us have mana!
Matt: Fuckin mana, man! We need to get us some of that!
3D: Seriously? You've gotta be fucking with me, right? This isn't a game guys. You wanna go on a wild goose chase for mana, meanwhile Project Rebirth seems hell bent on shoving their boots up our asses.
TPK Yeah, basically. Look, it's like this, no matter what they're going to come. We might as well get all the help we can, get as much XP as we can before the boss battle so to speak. And Frankly, a party of three just may not be enough to beat Pyro and his troop.
3D: God damn, fine. Whatever, let's just go grab this guy. I at least wanna see the reject you've forced on us, hope he's at least capable.
At the table directly behind the Knights, a chair slowly starts to twirl. Once the chair faces TPK and Co. a relatively attractive female can be seen, her hands pyramided in front of her chest. A wry grin crosses the unknown ladies face, her focus seemingly on David Diamond for the time being.
Luna: Oh, I assure you Davey boy..SHE is capable.
3D Ok, why didn't you just lead with "Oh by the way, the person you are about to bash is right behind you Dave."?
Luna: Simply put, he didn't know I'd be here Dave. Frankly, I don't even think he knew he was looking for me. Fortunately for you, I knew. So, thought I'd just...save you the trouble of hunting me down.
TPK shrugs, and nods in agreement. David, now more than a little freaked out, starts to glance around nervously. As time seems to crawl slowly by, Luna simply leaves her seat, and now takes a place at the table with The Knights. She bites her bottom lip playfully, and slaps David on the back a little. Dave, now a bit more at ease, adjusts his posture, and begins to chuckle.
TPK She's right you know, my plan was basically just walk around and ask people if they were a Mage. Eventually you gotta get a yes...uh..right?
3D:That's one out come, but the more likely scenario is men in white coats show up, and then haul all of us to the nearest looney bin. My problem is this though, if this chick found us that easily...Pyro could do it twice as easily.
Luna: Hey, he's not an oracle. Now, is he? And please, just call me Luna, sounds SO much better than "This Chick".
TPK: Alright Luna, I don't normally just believe people who make such outlandish claims...ah hell who am I kidding, I totally do. WELCOME ABOARD!
Matt: Ok, now that we saved time finding a mage. What exactly is our "battle plan"?
The scene fades as the group huddles toward the middle of the table, talking among themselves. Getting prepared for the day Project Rebirth decides to hatch whatever plan they have cooked up.
