The hooded figure that had remained largely unnoticed since she entered looked at the new arrivals in the bar. Tilting her head, she looked at the Kusarian, the rheinlander, they seemed somewhat familiar...before looking at their captain.
She quickly tilted her head back, letting the hood cover it fully once more. She smiled, and waited, wondering how long it would take for one of them to notice her quite out-of-place attire, as hot and polluted as leeds was.
As she sipped the last of her coffee, she tilted her head back, and the hood fell down around her neck, revealing her pink-furred and catlike self. She gasped, pulling it back over to hide her appearance, and sat, tense, wondering if anyone had noticed.
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.

The woman sat, and looked quietly as Ilo surveyed the bar with his mirror. She decided to have some fun. She looked up, revealing her face to anyone who might have been looking in the mirror at the time, and winked, giving a small smile, before looking down again. She smiled and looked out of the corner of her eye, knowing that it would not go unnoticed.

The young man had never noticed and nor did he really care for any one who was in the bar as he held a small glass bowl in his hand eating the peanuts from it having finished his iced water feeling a little hungry as he waited for something or some one, he had no idea why but he just had the feeling he needed to be hear a while and observe these people the ever so gazing ones that watched him. he took a glance at Ace before getting out the note pad again looking for his pen before remembering he had thrown it away sighing as he shook his head and threw the pad away rubbing his head a bit as he put his hand under his shirt, soon a royal blue light would be seen under the cloths as he sat back more putting his feet on the table.
Ilo: Sir...It appears someone has been watching you..... Bret: Who? Ilo: The young woman in the back....one with the black cloak.... Bret: You know her? Ilo: Possibly....I don't sense anything bad from her...but she looks..Familiar.. *Bartender walks past group and serves another customer* Bret: Hey Bartender...what did that woman in the back order? *Bartender looks to the back and spots the woman* Bartender: A coffee...why? Bret: I'll have 2 cups of coffee.... Bartender: Your the one paying pal.... *Bartender poors two cups of coffee and hands them to Bret* Bret: Thanks... Bartender: Whatever... *Bret picks up the two cups and takes them over to the back table* Miki: Where ish the Captn going? Jenson: You sit and don't move.
Bret: I thought you could use a refill.....Don't mind If I sit here do you? *Bret places one of the cups next to the hooded one's near empty cup....then takes a seat*
Ilo: Jenson... Jenson: What?..... Ilo: You see that blue light coming from that man's clothes at that table?... *Jenson tilts his head up and glimpses at the mirror* Jenson: I see it... Ilo: I'm I think Ive seen something like it before...Be ready just in case.. *Ilo hears the slight sound of Jenson's gun being loaded with his one free hand*
*The Bartender notices the sound and notions to the two guards at the Bar entrance*
*Two Bretonian men walk up to Ilo and Jenson* Guard one: Gentlemen..I'm am going to have to ask you two stand up and come with me for a moment. Ilo: *pushes up his glasses* As you wish...Come on Jenson. Jenson: Stay here Miki... Miki: Ohki...Kan I have another shoda!? *The four of them walk to the main door* Guard two: Sir...I'm afraid we are going to have to search you. *Jenson looks at the two guards and puts his hand into his pocket* Jenson: If this is what your looking for..*Pulls out his Mauser*....You could have just asked. *Jenson hands the guard his pistol* Guard one: Thank you sir...You can have this back when you leave.. *Jenson and Ilo head back to the bar where Miki is sitting. Ilo: I can't believe you brought that thing. Jenson: Old habit.

Vixen looked up, pulling the hood back slightly, so that she could still see properly. She half-smiled, and looked at the other members of the bar.
"Its a nice place..." She replied. "And its a place where i don't need to deal with anyone hunting me..."
She took another sip of the coffee, and sighed.
"Let me tell you something. I am being watched. By not-so-good...'people'..."
Her ears flicked against the back of her head, and her tail, which she had kept flat on the seat, threatened to flick around, which would betray her presence.
"They're known as 'sierra squad'...i caught a look at them, they sent me a message, and i looked them up...they work for the consortium, and they don't want to let me stay free..."
Her claws were already extended, and she was scratching the table slightly...
"Just watch out for anyone tagged \CS\, Ok? I wouldn't want to see you captured as well."
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
*Bret looks at her hands and back up to Vixen's face* Bret: The sierra squad huh.... *Bret Rubs his brow....fustrated* Bret: If its not one thing....Its another.....I feared something like this would happen one day....but not so soon....... *Bret takes a sip of his coffee* Bret: Anything else I should be informed of?
*Jenson, Ilo, and Miki's walk up to Bret* Jenson: Sir...I've paid our tab and we are ready to leave sir.. *Bret looks up at Jenson* Bret: Jenson..take Miki and head to the Loading Dock...Have em start loading up our cargo. Ilo..Get the ship ready for launch...I'll be on board soon. Jenson: Aye sir...Let's go Miki... Miki: Ohkai Capn...Later! *Jenson and Miki head for the entrance....Jenson thanks the guard as he returns his gun*
*Ilo remains at the table* Bret: Yes Ilo? Ilo: Will you be all right by yourself sir? *pushes up glasses* Bret: I'll be fine...Just get the ship ready... *Ilo bows and heads for the entrance*

A man wearing a uniform like suit, black leather jacket with metal shoulder pads and seams to be made to be bullet proof, walks his way across the street towards the bar"The Patriot". He get's stopped at the entrance of the bar, his shoulder long unkempt, dark blonde hair and unshaven face makes him look rugged and experienced, yet at first view he looks attractive, it could be cause of the bright blue eyes or the general look of him.
The soldiers begin to scan the uniformed man, and as they take of weapons from him, a total of 2 pistols, 3 knives and a wrist blade, they ask him business.
"None of your business, I'm here to grab a beer ok?"
The guards nod and let's him enter the bar, he grunts and dusts of his leather jacket as if the guards where dirty. He walks down into the main area and heads straight for the bar, he takes a seat, not looking at the others in the bar at all, simply sits there and orders a glass of water and a ball of peanuts.
