Dime was out picking up her Scab Uniform from the cleaners and got some things adjusted on it as well. She was rather tall for a woman and certain things needed a better fit. So with that completed she was heading back to Barracks. This was where she remained, it wasn't as comfortable or as quality as she was used to but she can imagine worse situations to be in without any watered down meaning.

Not long after Dime had gotten back to the barracks and was probably settling in she would see a small group of cadets huddled off to one side of the room. The occasional surprised gasp and, comments of, "so cool!" And "no way!" Coming out from the huddle. Might make one curious what they were talking about...

Dime would see her squadmates huddled about and tried to see what they might be collecting around like a bundle of grade school kids gossiping about. "Were you all heading out to the training grounds for a drill session when I left? What's going on Comrades?"

One of them would look up and wave Dime over.
"Haven't you heard? Billy saw one of them! He even took a picture with his PT look!"
As Dime came closer she could see what everyone was staring at. A VERY blurry picture of a dark figure.
"He was so cool looking!"
The guy with the PT that had the picture would exclaim.
"I have no idea who it was though they had a huge mask and hood covering their face!"

"A mask and hood?" She heard tales of things... local legends and the like. "Is this the Undertaker's Ghost that haunts his old mortuary where they carried and cremated remains of the Kings bloodshed or one of the Blood Mages?" She wanted to believe they were joking but she would play along everyone else seemed to believe it.

A couple Scabs looked at her like she was stupid. But others seemed to answer her question as if she really didn't know.
"Its one of the Blood Mages. I've heard about them, how they only take in those extremely gifted in Qi. Maybe they are out scouting for people?!"
This would get the rest of the group excited and most went on about how great they were and how it would be no time before they were claimed as Blood Mages!

She chuckled and shrugged as she departed herself from the crowd of gaggling myth chasers.
Heard and seen were two different things for sure. Dime had also heard of them and heard of many people claiming to see them. Not she, however... Even as she would come from a line of mages at some point she never so much had cast a spell from her mother's incomplete book of intermediate magic. Ayatlan mages viewed Magic and Qi the same and yet called it different and claimed it differently. It was a style all their own that she had an interest in learning. likely not ever to get that chance between of her own undying loyalty and how protective they were of their ways. She really wasn't sure there would be a secret mage club, coven, society or whatever they might call themselves here in 235. Or that she might qualify when most people don't even realize she actually has a Qi. One that is hardly as flashy as energy beams and elemental manipulation, but it was her own and no doubt about it she found its uses.

As Dime was out an about on a stroll around the barracks, laughing at the absurdity of the possibility of mages, she might be suddenly surprised when she saw a shadow move our the corner of her eye!
If she turned to look she would catch as someone dodged behind a wall. All she could tell was that they were wearing all black and had a hood...

With a quick look she would see them and have an instant thought of an intruder on the premises.
"Hey!" She took off after the hooded figure. Turning the corner and skidding to get an eye on them!

She did a double take and almost doubled over in disbelief. A few blinks and a couple of searching glances. She was almost uncertain if she actually saw someone. Should she report it? What if it WAS just her imagination? Oh how that would go over a she a Scab seeing imaginary hooded figures. If she saw them, even for a moment, she would been able to mind connect them, been sure they were real... Intruder or not it would have helped. She decided to leave back the way she came.

She turned around to find a Hooded Figure standing behind her. "Hello. Can I help you?" |

Suddenly person! A loud and quick started noise leaped from her chest and out her throat. "Bleeding Damn!" Her heart was stupid pounding.
She looked him up and down. His uniform surprisingly looks like a slightly modified Scab's but she couldn't be sure.
She'll make a decision not be so presumptuous...
"The others at the Barracks have started going on about hooded and masked figures running around... be careful comrade." She would walk around him

The man chuckled.
"And they are right. For what reason do you believe that they are dangerous? Most of your... comrades seem enamored by our presence. Why are you not?"

She arched a brow. Did he think this was a joke? "Presuming them... Or as you say, yourself, as apart of a secretive branch of an undocumented force out for recruitment. I'll believe it when I see it. A starting introduction might aid your case though."
She focused on him and he would hear a voice within his head if he allowed her connection he could speak back. "If you are not affiliated with the Blood army, the King as my witness anything that happens during your time prowling about will not only be seen but be taken action against."
now she'll not assume Raikotsu would see so far as her demise and lift a finger to aid or bring Justice. She just would like to know if this is an intruder with knowledge of the King's watchful eye and the Blood Ward's forever reaching hand. If this is a terrorist attack she felt he needed to be warned.
Qi:1
Telepathic communications: while looking at one person she can send a mental note heard by that person only. She connects their Qi to communicate. The connection can be one way but should the other party allow it they can complete the connection to trade messages back and forth.
