"And you said your boss will be here soon" looking over the equipment given to him he flips through the large time with only a few pages filled "Then you'll need us to do something for you I assume"
Bruce, despite having his own suspicions and thoughts, grabbed some gear. Watching as some of the others began using magic, no tricks, actual magic, he was slightly taken aback, but sat himself back down to settle his nerves. "It seems you can't tell us much, so what can you tell us." He's now donned in chain mail, and has a large hammer leaning up beside him, with a smaller hammer strapped to his side.
Jax, although very exited about all of this, he hangs back to see what the others does. It all just seem so unreal. He is actually seeing real magic. He try to cast something as well. He make a couple of difficult hand motions he’d learned from geeking out on Naruto and whispers the appropriate words and... nothing.. He takes a deep breath and walk over to the others and sees a beautiful braided quarterstaff. He picks it up and make a few test swings and spin it in front of himself. It is perfectly balanced. “Wow, this is amazing. It is all just to amazing..”
"Well obviously worlds a bit more expansive than most of you would've though, and while I won't go in-depth we're in a real ****ed situation at the moment and that's why you all are here. We try not to interfere too much with the world around us but at this point we needed to. " Aiden says as he pulls up his left sleeve and shows his arms which now you can tell is prosthetic "I'll tell you guys, this shit ain't too fun sometimes but it's necessary." Aiden says as you all hear a lock click as a tall Orc walks through the door, an odd sight in a big city like this. Points towards the group and motions for you all to walk into the room next to you "Come on mates, this way and we can get talkin over this." He says as he leads you into the next door room

Jax, who thought he was prepared for everything, takes a few steps back. <An Orc? Here?> He grip the staff tighter and get ready for a fight, forgetting for a moment that he isn’t in Chicago anymore. He relaxes only when he sees that the large Orc isn't agressive. He lowers the staff and follow inside, curious to what is expected of him.
“This... can’t be real. I shouldn’t indulge these delusions.” Ezra has been murmuring things like this to himself for awhile, but he walks after the Orc anyways. “This is gonna’ be a bad one...”
Vicros takes another long puff from his cigarette when the Orc walks into the room. He looks around to see everyone's reaction, especially how taken aback Jax is. Ready to fight. He nods approvingly. "You're pretty confident that most of us are just willing to listen and join you and your boss, Aiden. I don't like walking into anything blindly."

"Fair point, but how's about you look at what you've just learned. Think this is the most you've been able to see in a real long time. You were concerned about some faceless ones when i moved you here, There's a hell of a lot worse things you haven't seen yet." Aiden says as he stands up to walk with you all to the room

Vicros smiles. "I'm always concerned about the Faceless Ones." As Aiden walks away, Vicros takes a final puff from his cigarette and flicks it into the glass on the table. He hesitantly starts to follow the others.

Don puts a reassuring hand on Vicros. "No need to walk in blindly. We'll just keep our eyes open." Don casts Guidance on Vicros and follows through the door.
The Orc leads you into a small boardroom looking area and sits at the head of the table. You can see remnants of fast food meals and dozens of papers laid across his where he was sat "Sorry about the mess friends, been having a hell of one." He says as he clears it into a small bin "Alright then I'd bet you all are wondering why the hell your here and that's what im going to explain, Vicros the "Faceless Ones" can you describe em real quick for me, be a bit better if I can relate it to something. Oh and Jaelrin by the way." He says as he reaches out his hand to all of you

"The Faceless Ones are the head of the modern day Chicago Outfit." Vicros replies. "And as the name implies, no one knows what they look like or who they are. But when a lot of bad shit happens, it generally happens because they say so. If that's enough of an idea for ya."

H4NK chimes in “The faceless are believed to be linked to more than three hundred felonies in the greater Chicago area. Including but not limited to Murder, Grand theft, Transportation of illegal substance with intent to sell, Armed Robbery, Assault with a deadly weapon, Witness tampering, and Tax evasion.”
"That works, so imagine them but we don't know why they've been doing these sorts of things. They were originally just some small dickheads that bothered people but over time they just started to do some really horrid things, now if that was the extent of it we wouldn't be here. We've had some real pains in the ass throughout our time here but they've started experimenting with magic, sometimes even trying to take it from those few who still wield it, we can't figure out why they're doing it but that's where you lot come in, all of you through one way or another got some magic in you like everyone does but it manifests a bit more fiercely in you all, whether it be strength and a knack for dueling, quick reflexes and smarts, or a understanding of different sorts of magic you all have it, hell stronger than some of our folks here, and that's why we got you all here, to sorta show you how it works, explain it as best we can, and get you ready to help against these folk, cause whatever they're doing it sure doesn't bode well for us. That is if you accept it of course, we'll keep you all fed with a roof but I won't lie, this is going to be not to pleasant for you all."

Jax listen to what everyone has to say before jumping in. “So, what? You want us to fight s magic using crime syndicate?” He looks around at the others “Who are you people? How do we know you’re not the bad guys? Are we just to take you at your word?”

Vicros pulls out a small notebook with pencil attached and starts to jot down notes.. "....Aiden, procurer. We've been scouted. Boss?? Assignment?"

Noting someone who looks (a little) like him, Bruce raises an eyebrow, and shrugs, standing to follow behind the large man.
