Mortimer glanced over the team. "You all ready then? Good. Lets go on in." He opened the door, to reveal the trophy room of the ship.
This room was enormous, able to comfortably fit 3000 on its floor and still hold all the trophies and memories of the ship on its walls. on the wall across from where the team would enter, was a mural of a predator wearing a ruby amulet, a spear in one hand, an olive branch in the other. Behind him were sketches of the first ten Dancing blade recruited. The group would recognize Lyra with bright Red hair, as well as Miguel and possibly Mortimer, though in his picture he carried a rifle and wore a simple predator helm along with a french military uniform. He was the only one in the mural who wore a uniform other then predator plates and helms.
On the wall to their right were weapons from throughout the ages, with flintlock pistols hanging alongside fat barreled magnums, with weapons that were quite futuristic sprinkled among the collection. If one had a very sharp eye and a knowledge of science fiction, they might spot weapons that most assuredly would not belong in the predator collection, including a sonic screwdriver, a lightsaber, and a phaser.
On the wall to their left hung trophies. Many creatures were hung with plaques, reaching far up to the ceiling. This one had a similar variety as the weapon locker, with wolf heads being the dominating focus. These heads were not all normal earth wolves however, as some had extra eye sockets, an extra nostril, or extra mouths, along with a wide variety of furs.
On the wall the group entered through, there hung over 50 thousand masks, all arranged to descend from ancient to the modern day variety, every mask having small differences that made them unique.
In the center of the room sat the 3000 predators who manned the ship, all in their best uniforms and sitting attentively on the floor. Once they entered, Mortimer would move to sit alongside 8 others, Miguel among them. They all seemed to wait for some unspoken signal.

Yukino took a small breath before having all the emotion drain out of her face. Her eyes closed halfway and seemed a bit empty. [color=bb66bb] "So... How'd this?" [/color] She said flatly.

[hr]

Ness looked out over everyone and decided too keep her mouth shut as she followed Mortimer and sat near them. This place is impressive to say the least.

Valentine's eyes widen as she looked around. "W-wow!" She said, visually impressed.
[hr]
Black crossed her arms. "It makes me think your taking the piss again" She said to Yukino with a small sigh. She closed her eyes for a second, when she re-opened them she put her hands around Yukino's neck from behind her. "Then again I think you look Soooo Cute!~" She said with a happy, jolly tone. Even smiling a little.

Jessica felt a mixture of discomfort and disgust upon seeing the massive trophy room. So much space devoted to glorifying death and destruction...Almost makes me sad just imagining what actually productive things could happen here. She thought with a sigh. She stood near Ness and otherwise waited silently to see what would happen.

Yuki kept her new expression as Black hugged her from behind. She casually bopped Black on the head. [color=bb66bb] "And how would you know what my face looks like when I pee?" Oh god... that was too good, Vocaloid! [/color]

"Wh-what? I don't, why would I?" Black asked Yukino, slightly embarrassed. She rubbed her head a little when Yukino bopped her head. "Ow...why would you do that?....meanie!" She said to Yukino, giving her a small :< then dropping it. "Still can't do that face..." She muttered, as she kept her hug on Yukino.

OoC: One more then I'm gone.

Yuki smirked before hugging Black back and returning her face to normal. She returned the hug by wrapping an arm around Black. [color=bb66bb] "And I can barely keep that face up for long. We'll get it down more eventually." [/color]

Once the group had settled among the crowd, Lyra would begin speaking, her voice coming from the center of the crowd but not being visible. "Hello, brothers and sisters of the wolves. It has been many years since we lost our previous long fang to the venomous fangs, and two decades since our clan was slaughtered to all but dancing blade, again by the venomous fangs. Today, we stand the chance to pay them back for all the wrongs they did us." at this point, Lyra uncloaked, her hair changed back to its original red, her armor polished and a combi-staff in her left hand, and she looked into the center of the crowd.
"But we must not allow ourselves to fall into that path. They have hunted us, betrayed us, killed our own, and committed genocide on planets some of you call home to. But we can not fall to the level they reside in. That is why I must challenge their leader in single combat, to end this war once and for all. I know many of you have lost family in this war, and many of you have felt the bittersweet victory of pushing them off a world they made dead, knowing we were too late to save the inhabitants. But, I must remind you, of all else, how our clan was reforged after its greatest failure." At this Lyra approached the group, and nodded to them. "Dancing Blade was called to the great hunt, a call all who feel must answer. He served faithfully, and acted kindly. He helped his fellow hunters, aiding them in their difficult fights, even when he felt the weakness of his life and age in himself. And thanks to his bravery and sacrifice, he was able to build the clan anew. Some would have built the clans with murder in their heart, planning to avenge fallen family. Dancing Blade did no such thing. He taught his first ten disciples to love, to accept the death that we know must come, and taught us to defend our loved ones. No more, and no less. I will admit, after his death, I harbored hatred in my heart for the fangs and their cruelty. They took my father from me, so I wished to take from them again."
Lyra gestured again to the group, and said. "And then the great hunt called for me, and I answered. And their I met my allies, and they taught me to seek peace even when you feel hatred. And it was only then that I could acknowledge that my actions, while correct in protecting our brothers and sisters on Aurelia and on Nidhogg, were wrongly fueled. And now, I ask you brothers and sisters, that when the single combat is done, that you give the fangs peace. They may not deserve it, but we should give them a chance at it all the same."
Lyra took a breath, and said, with the first hesitation in the speech "That is why I am going to have no repercussions for their actions, their genocides. They committed wrong ,but that cannot be changed. We must simply accept it, and move along with it, remembering that they were speared on by evil. That is what i request from you, my fellow clansmen."
With that said, Lyra walked out of the room, leaving the crowd to consider her words.

Black nodded to Yukino. "Yeah, I'm sure we will" She said in her usual tone. "Well I'm get some sleep, still a bit tired..." She said to Yukino, leaning forward to her. "Good night, Yukino" She said to her, then lent in and Kissed Yukino. Black smirked a little then let go of Yukino and laid down to sleep.

OoC: Night all!

Yukino blushed a bit as Black kissed her so suddenly before watching her go to sleep in the cave again. [color=bb66bb] "Good night, Black..." [/color] She sighed a bit happily after Black had gone to sleep. She calmly sent out another clone to watch over her before lying down and looking up at the sky. [color=bb66bb] ...So I've got something to protect now, huh? Weird... guess I'm getting kind of soft now. [/color]

[hr]

Ness nodded a small bit to herself as she watched Lyra walk off. Well... she's taken the mature path for this and that's commendable after having to deal with so much. I just hope she gets out of that fight alive...

Well that was a lot more noble than I was expecting. Jessica thought to herself as she scratched her chin with one hand. So what happens now?

Mortimer stood from his position. "Thank you all for your listening to Lyra speak. I sincerely hope you consider her words carefully." he gestured over to Ness, indicating for her to follow him as he left the room.

Ness noted the predator's gesture and calmly stood up before following him again. Then... it's time for it to start? Agh... now I'm getting this bad feeling in my stomach.

Jessica got up from her seat as well and followed after Ness, lacking reason to do anything besides follow after her for the moment.

Mortimer stopped outside the door, once they were out of earshot of the others, who had begun discussing the speech. "I hate to ask, but I don't suppose I could convince you to not join Lyra on this journey?"

"Because, you aren't one of us. You don't look like you want to be one of us." Mortimer glanced up, then back down at Ness. "You're going to be an ambassador for us to the fangs. Its nothing against you, but you really don't represent us. If I got my way, one of the original ten would be joining Lyra. Hell, I'd prefer joining her myself. But you? Why should you join her in this fight? From what little she's told me of you, you don't even want to see someone die. I don't either, but you seem to get physically ill at the thought of conflict. So Lyra said when she was telling us about the hunt."

"Then I'm sure she's told you about how many times I've stomached that hatred of conflict to save her. I know I'm not decorated in armor like yours, nor am I anywhere near as gifted at combat as any of you, but I'm going to support her. I'd probably get even more sick if I didn't help Lyra see this through to the end." Ness replied, looking back up at Mort.

Mortimer stared back down at Ness a few more seconds, before sighing in relief. "Oh thank the damn huntress, you aren't a pansy. I was worried, after Lyra came back all depressed yesterday, you'd be the death of her. But, if you're willing to stand by her, despite yesterday, well I'll just suck in how I feel about ya. Come on then, lets get this nasty business over with, before Lyra wonders what's taking so long." with that, Mortimer began quickly moving down the hall.

Ness held back many a rebuttal to what Mortimer said as she followed him to the best of her ability.
