Nighshift 35: Soccer/Recreational Field
[from here]
The warm night air kissed Archer's face as he stepped outside. A half moon was out, giving considerable illumination. On the bright side, it meant that he could see pretty well, even at night, but on the other hand, it meant hiding wouldn't be as easy, especially out in the field, without any cover. Nonetheless, he cautiously made his way over to the shed.

This, she thought, would be an excellent time to assess the other member. Celes moved out of the way to watch for Brook, and continue to cold shoulder that fool Dante.

"So, what might your name be, my lovely lady?" Brook wasn't so stuck on not thinking about Celes's panties that he could not keep to his standards. Archer may have told him her name already, but they'd yet to be formally introduced, and it was rude to simply assume should she prefer him call her otherwise! "Oh, and to the gentlemen with the silver hair! You are...?" Brook turned his head back, forgoing the wall-jumping his teammates seemed so interested in. What he found when he looked back was.... well, nothing! "Oya?" He blinked, confused. Had he not followed them out? "Silver-san?" he asked curiously, looking around.

Dropping to the floor, he stayed close to wall, continuing his scanning for a moment but found nothing. Turning to his team, he addressed them. "Damn... Brook, Celes, stay here. I'll go look for Dante. Stay on guard."

"I'm Celes Chere, sir." She didn't smile, she didn't wink, and most of all, she didn't flirt. If this one proved to be as foolish as the other, Celes would take her leave posthaste.
no subject
Well, no use worrying over it too much. There were more important thing to do! Like finishing with the proper introductions. "And I am Brook," he tucked an arm (his free one) before him and the one with the bat behind as he bowed low to her. "It is a pleasure, Celes-san, to meet you." Despite the situation. Honestly though, this was not the first he'd greeted others in... less than savory circumstances.

Please, oh please, Triad, let this one not be a raving idiot, she silently begged, hoping that the Goddesses would hear her and grant the beleaguered general some mercy.
no subject
"Really? Just like that?" Without so much as a warning?! It was like how those Spider Mice had worked in Thriller Bark! Oh, he hoped that the man wasn't getting his shadow snipped off as they spoke! But he couldn't be sure of that... and for how Celes was speaking, this seemed more than a little common. All right then, until he found further proof (or got over his denial of the similarities between here and that damned ship), he would not question it!
"Hm? Oh, Archer-san? We are in the same room together," he answered simply, "Though I suppose if people do vanish I may not be the first of his roommates."
no subject
She shifted, and swallowed the information Brook so easily gave to her. "It may very well be. I am lucky to have the same roommate since I've arrived." Except for the part she didn't know where Mion was tonight, of course.
no subject
Not that that would ever happen.
The mention of her own roommate softened Brook's expression a bit. "Then you must be good friends! Yohohohoho! Archer-san and I are!" Sorta.
no subject
"Well, as it appears that our leader and our fool have taken leave, and I am not one to stand out where those birds can collect me up like grains." It was dark, and there were enough people on the field, but acting complacent wasn't a smart move on the Landelian chessboard.

Archer led Ren back to his team, introducing their new addition. "Hey. I wasn't able to find Dante. It looks like he was taken. This is Ichimoto Ren. He'll be accompanying us to the basement."
At this point, he imagined Celes' patience was wearing thin, and Brook was probably freaked out. "Look, I know this night hasn't gone according to plan so far, but I'd like to continue. Are you both still up to it?"
no subject
He stopped a little ways behind Archer and waved, not wanting to interrupt.
no subject
It would figure that he would appear just as she was planning on taking her own leave.
no subject
He was not able to continue (and thus properly scold Celes for doing it "wrong") as Archer returned, but not with the sliver-haired man. Dante really was gone it seemed, but now there was another in his place. "Welcome back, Archer-san! Oh, and you've brought another friend with you? Yohohoho! How wonderful! Nice to meet you Ren-san! I am Brook. You won't go disappearing on us either, now will you?"
no subject
And with that, he easily pulled himself up, leading the way. He'd look for Dante tomorrow, which was all he really could do, but for now, he had a mission.
