"Cards, eh?" says Garagas. He looks around to see if there's a deck of cards nearby. Assuming he finds one he says, "So, Lazaren, what's your preferred game?"
"Hmmm, well, I would say Texas Hold 'em, Scum, and 99 are a few of my favorites. Oh, and I have a few decks myself." He says, pulling them out. One particularly flashy one has what almost feels like tiny, emerald green scales on the back of each card, and on the outside of the box.
[[Gn. Sorry I'm not posting much, it's just that this is the last point in the campaign that Zeus can join in. I'm going to give him to the end of today (My time) so he has roughly 9 and a half hours. If he hasn't posted by then, then we will carry on and he will have to join in later, potentially after this practise war thing.]]

Zeus, your shuttle lands in the Citadel courtyard, and you step out. Would you care to describe yourself?
[[I know the others can't see you, but I like the effect of you stepping out and describing what you look like. It's a nice, kinda epic way for you to join the campaign]]
[[Hello! I'm so sorry I took so long, I had a lot of IRL stuff to deal with. I'm ready now though.]]
As the shuttle lands, a male aarakocra steps out. He has pure white feathers, not a spot of dirt on them. You can see deep within his bright green eyes that he is ready for whatever you throw at him. He stands about five and a half feet, and holds himself with purpose and pride.

I'm Hecate! I've got a lotta titles, and there's no way this sig space would hold them all lol
remember that my PMs are always open to anyone who needs someone to talk to, vent to, or just shout at, and i'll always respond relatively quickly

A squad of foot soldiers in grey uniforms come up in front of you. There's about 20 of them, and they look formidable. They all in perfect marching sink, and they have the massive citadel behind them. One of them stands out from the others, because he's in a red uniform instead of a grey one. He walks to the front of the squad and salutes you. "Greeting, dominous. Please follow me." And he and the rest of the squad filter into a door that most likely goes into the citadel.

You come into a massive hall of white, gold and red. The floor and walls are painted marble, and the ceiling is the clearest glass you have ever seen. The hall is roughly 100m long, 15m across, and 40m high at its highest.

Amethest, you are taken to your room, where you are able to unload your belongings and freshen up. After that, you are lead to the common room, where you meet Garagas and Lazaren. Shortly after you are all taken to a massive dining room with a long table able to seat 30 guests. They all seem to be new Lancers for Augustus.
You all feel a sinking in your stomach as you walk into the chattering mass that is the dining hall. It is over grand- white marble floors, columns, a holosky displaying birds in flight at sunset. This is not what you expected. According to Augustus, these next weeks and months are supposed to be hard on these little godlings. You suppress a laugh. Let the lot of them spend a year fending for themselves like you all have.
The chairs each have a name glowing in golden letters above them. They seem to be ordered in physical size and strength. Lazaren, your name hovers above chair number 3, the chair just to the left of the head of the table. Garagus, your chair is next to Lazaren, one below him, so chair number 5. And Amethest, you are seated opposite Garagus, so chair number 6.
"Wonderful, an unknown gold Lancer very high up the table." A girl next to Amethest says to Lazeren. You read the name above her. Antonia au Severus. She has cruel good looks- high cheekbones, a smirking smile, scorn in her eyes. Her hair is long, full, and golden as Midas's touch. She was born to be hated and to hate. In the chair opposite Lazaren, to the right of the head of the table, sits a very muscular boy named Cassius au Bellona. His face glows with strength and charm. He has a broad smile and runs his hand through his curly hair. Then, at the head of the table, another boy sits. Obviously the favorite of Augustus. While Cassius lounges, this other boy, Piram, sits as straight as a blade. His face is celestial. His eyes alert. His hair coiffed. He's as tall as Garagus and Lazaren, but broader in the shoulders. You all don't think you've ever seen a more perfect human being. A Gorydamn Statue.
"Fate brings us together." Cassius announces to everyone high up the table. "And Antonia. My love! It seems our fathers conspired to place us side by side."
Antonia replies with a sneer. "Remind me to beam him a thank you."
"Antonia! No need for nastiness." He wags a finger. "Now toss me a smile like a good doll."
She flips him a certain hand gesture. "Rather toss you out a window, Cassi."
"Rawr." Cassius blows her a kiss. She ignores it. "So, Piram, Suppose we and I will have to play gently with these fools, eh?"
"Oh, they they look like swell sorts to me." Piram replies primly. "I fancy we'll do very well as a group." They talk in high lingo.
"If the lower members of the table don't weigh us down, my good man!"
"I think they will rather surprise you," Piram says in defence of the far end of the table. "They may not be as tall or athletic or even as intelligent as you or me, but some will still prove themselves. I do not think it charity to say they will be the spine of the group, though. Salt of the earth, if you will. Good sorts."
Cassius looks at Piram, taking in what he said. Then he looks at you three. "Amethest, you're the son of the old rage knight, Lorn au Acros, aren't you? And Garagus, I know of your company and my father made many deals with your father years back. But I would really like to know, is who are you, Lazaren au Andromeus?"

And Garagus, I know of your company and my father made many deals with your father years back. But I would really like to know, is who are you, Lazaren au Andromeus?"
"Wouldn't you like to know..." Lazaren says, almost to himself. He looks Cassius in the eye. "I am the son of Isabella and Richard au Andromeus. For years, my family worked mining crystals, but there was a gas explosion and... I alone survived." His voice falters a bit, just barely noticeable. "And that about sums it up!" He says with a quick smile.

He says with a quick smile.
Cassius looks away and twirls his hair with a finger. "Very well."
Another, slightly smaller boy walks up from the far end of the table and stands next to Cassius. He waits to be introduced. Cassius pretends he didn't see him approach, then turns his head to look at him. "Ah, Julian! Let me introduce you to the high drafts, who will probably be your superiors when we arrive on our fleet. Piram, Garagus, Amethest, Lazaren, Antonia, This is my brother, Julian."
"Hi everyone."

A tall girl is at the window. She has long black hair and a smile on her face. She seems very streamline, and her legs look like they could carry her very fast. You remember seeing her at the table, She was just about a high draft. "I wish we could be outside." She says, as much to herself as to you. "There's no room to move about in here."

*I was literally gonna have him try and go outside :)*
"A person that's up for almost anything? Reminds me of college." says Garagas with a chuckle. He then sighs and opens another can of root beer.
