Samus looked over at Seras rushing over to Ness, surprised by the sudden outburst from the quiet woman.

Sarah turned to the gathered group. "we might as well get started then, waiting on Rozlynn might take us the rest of the day."
At that, the door in the back opened, and Rozlynn walked in, hair horribly singed and smoking. She quietly walked to the front and tapped a foot, causing a stool to rise. She sat in it, blew a strand of her out of her face, and asked "what did I miss?"
Sarah stared at her in confusion. she seemed not to care at Seras jumping to tackle Ness.

Ness blinked as Seras suddenly rushed at her and almost instinctively hopped to the side, even though Seras didn't make a move to tackle her. [color=666666] "Woah...! Easy now, Ms. Victoria!" [/color] She cried out, a little confused by Seras' enthusiasm.
[hr]
Amelia was knocked out of her happy place once Seras yelled and Rozlynn suddenly appeared. Looking to both Sarah and Roz, she tilted her head a little more. [color=ff7777] "....So, what's happening?" [/color]

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm just glad to see you're alright. They said you were okay, but...It's just nice to see you." Seras said, not really paying attention to Roz or Sarah.
Ness blinked a bit as she turned toward Sarah and scratched behind her head lightly. [color=666666] "R-right. Sorry... please don't mind us." [/color] She looked toward Seras and nodded, though she still looked a small bit confused. [color=666666] "Right... but you know I'm not the type to die easily. Still, thank you for the concern." [/color] She said looking to the side for a moment or two before taking a random seat.
Sarah nodded to Ness, looking annoyed but accepting that this wouldn't exactly be something to deal with at the moment. "Alright then, we called you all here because one of our prospective trading partners suggested they might have information on what has been going on with you people. They seem to believe that they can answer some questions, and suggest that theres a way to send you back home. So, if you will all go along with this, we'll be sending you to them, to see if they aren't gibbering maniacs."
Rozlynn raised a hand. "Pretty sure they're serious. They've got a history of this stuff."
Sarah dropped another glare Rozlynn's way, which caused her to shut up. "Yes, well, be that as it may, you should be warned that these people are surprisingly military focused. They seem to believe in the indomitable spirit of the warrior, and as such they'll better respect warriors. So if you aren't exactly feeling soldiery today, you might want to act it up. As well, you should be informed they're a bit gruesome, so try not to react if they have bits of animals hanging off them, would you?"

"Who, or what, exactly are we going to be meeting?" Axton asked.
Seras only gave Ness a large smile before paying attention to Sarah.

Amelia looked down to her rapier's hilt as she listened, but said nothing more as she simply listened, seeming a small bit unnerved by the news.
Ness rubbed her chin for a moment, more focused on what Sarah was talking about as compared to Seras' smile. [color=666666] (...That sounds... kind of familiar actually... And I actually could explain things right now... Then again, seeing who these people are might be worth keeping it to myself for now...) [/color] Hearing what Axton asked, she kept her questions to herself.

[/color] Hearing what Axton asked, she kept her questions to herself.
Sarah, instead of answering Axton, tapped at a control panel behind the desk. A hologram appeared over the desk showing a life size predator, helmet removed, glowering at whoever had taken the picture. Its body was crossed with a bandolier filled with knifes, and it had a plasma cannon charging to fire at its shoulder. Its body language suggested quite a bit of anger. "There are humans among them, but the majority of the population, from what I understand, is this species. Yatjua. Try not to piss them off, would you? Our negotiations team already did a bit of that."
"Jesus they're ugly." Axton said out loud.
Seras had the same opinion, but kept it to herself.

Ness blinked as she looked at the figure, but the piture caused her to seem like she was thinking a bit more deeply on it, eyes going half-lidded as she stared at the picture.
[color=666666] ....I've heard about this before, right? I'm sure of it... [/color]
[color=ff4599] Really, I don't remember one of the-- ...Oh wait, actually, yeah. [/color]
[color=666666] Then that means... [/color]
She folded her hands and placed her chin on them as she kept her expression neutral. It would be subtle, but she seemed to tremble a small amount, though it wouldn't be possible to tell what was the cause of it.
[hr]
Amelia shivered a small bit as she noticed the picture and the imposing figure on it. She bit her lower lip lightly before taking a silent but deep breath. [color=ff7777] ...I'm going to need you again. Please... hold out for me, okay? [/color] The rapier vibrated softly in response and the sheepgirl looked a small bit more relieved.

Sarah sighed, rubbing her head. "yes people, I realize this isn't ideal. We can't always send you to the realm of the beautiful fairies. Sometimes, you'll have to interact with creatures you might find ugly."
Rozlynn poked her head up. "Uh, Jensen wants me to say they've got some pretty hot females. If you're into amazons, he adds."
Sarah mumbled "this diplomatic mission is going to tank so hard..."

"Yeah, last time I was here it was pretty busy. Didn't really realize the scale until I cam back here later too." The woman commented to Ness as she worked about getting her clothes ready.
She smiled back to Ness as she stood up and followed behind her, sticking her hands in the pockets of her pants as she went. "I can say the same." She replied with a grin on her face. "And really? Well that's a relief. I've been sweating over how long it was gonna take me to meet this guy."
Scene change
The cat-woman had raised an eyebrow when Seras had suddenly stood up and nearly tackled her companion. The hell was that about?...
Glancing at the picture, she scratched at her temple with the pointer finger of her left hand. The clothes look kinda familiar... She didn?t seem terribly taken aback by the appearance of the creature in the hologram.
Seeing Ness tremble, she placed her hand reassuringly on the woman?s shoulder and lightly smiled to her.
[hr]
"Ah am calm now. Ah was just... confused early is all." Sibylla replied to Thrall, her voice sounding even, though with a slight hint of fear buried in it.

"Wait, what exactly are we suppose to be doing with these...things?" Axton asked. "I'm not a diplomat ya know." he added.
Sarah looked to Axton. "Well, if you perform like you did at that arena, all you need to do is knock some heads together and they should come to respect you. The goal here is to get them to tell you about past events similar to you lot appearing from nowhere, without warning. they claim to have had that happen several times. Find out what you can, and try to not ruin our current abysmal diplomatic standing with them, please?" Sarah seemed to be almost pleading with that last remark.
Rozlynn shifted rather uncomfortably in her seat.
[hr]
"Very well then. As you say, you are calm." Thrall said, relaxing. "Now, I believe mister Wheaton is giving us a card to identify us in the city, and a device to contact each other. simple, correct?"

Ness continued walking until she ended up finding herself at a small hotel. [color=666666] "Oddly enough, it was... really easy to meet him. He actually dealt with the misplaced group himself, when I'd think a leader would send his lackeys in to do that sort of thing. Either way, it shouldn't be hard to--" [/color] Just then, her visa began to light up and she frowned. [color=666666] "Ah... a summons. I'll need to change quick..." [/color] She looked around before slipping into an alleyway and finding a small enclave in the walls. [color=666666] "So what's the agreement going to be about? An information trade or something similar they did for me?" [/color] She asked as she adjusted her glasses momentarily.
As the cat woman placed her hand on her shoulder, Ness' trembling stopped a small bit before she looked toward her. The fedora girl, wearing her usual attire by the way, sighed silently and gave the cat woman a nod silently saying "Thanks." Looking back to Sarah, she tilted her head. [color=666666] "Is there anything else we're expected to negotiate then?" [/color] She asked before her eyes drifted toward Rozlynn as she shifted in her seat.

"Alright. You need heads busted, I'll do it." Axton said, purposefully trying to get a reaction out of Sarah.
Sibylla sighed and managed to calm herself down completely. "Uhm, Ah guess so." She replied. "How're they s'posed to do that though?"
[hr]
"Eh? Summons? What's that about?" The woman asked Ness. Seeing Ness duck into an alleyway to change clothes, the woman rolled her eyes slightly and stood back at the entrance, making sure no one wandered into the alley. She stretched out her left arm for a bit and replied, "Kinda sorta. I'm not really supposed to be talking about it with people it doesn't directly concern though."
Scene change
The woman nodded back to Ness before she turned away and shifted her hand back into her pocket. "Hmm..." If I keep my mouth shut, I might be able to get something out of this... She thought as she hummed to herself.
