Welcome to Gaia! ::

Azrael had his nose deep in a book. It was one of his favorites of all time, mainly because there was very little violence in it at all. The closest thing to violence in it was perhaps when Tigger jumped on Pooh Bear, or when the bees decided that they didn't like him stealing their hunny. He closed the book with a smile as he read the last pages of it, and sighed contentedly. He had been juggling knives one handed while he was reading, and now he threw one straight into an apple that someone on the other side of the room was eating.
The man sighed and pulled the knife out, jabbing it into the table in front of him. "Must you always do that right when I'm about to put it in my mouth?" he asked, exasperatedly. This wasn't the first time that he had bitten into a knife that Az had thrown at his apple. And it was always an apple. It was never an orange or a pineapple, or anything else. It was only when he had an apple.
"Yes," he said, nonchalantly. He stood up and stretched. "I'm going out on patrol," he declared. Keep watch while I'm gone, will ya. I don't want to come back to half a hall."
"You're just going to see your friend. That angel friend of yours." He had stated it as a statement of fact instead of a suggestion. He had known his friend for too long.
"I might go see her as well," he waved off the accusation like it was nothing. "But I really am going on patrol." He swung his uniform jacket onto his shoulders, buttoning it up as he left. He waved at Beckett over his shoulder.

Azreal- patrol of the city.

Beckett looked up from his news report at the female that had just entered. He was not impressed with the woman's looks, nor the way she swayed her hips, nor anything else about her, for that matter. He was mildly curious as to why she was here. Most people tried to stay out of the Hall of Peace if they could help it. Only a few new recruits would actually ever come in. "What can I help you with, miss?" he asked in a bored tone of voice. He really didn't care, but if he didn't at least ask, one of his superiors would, without fail, walk out from a side door and bust his a**. If he was lucky, it wouldn't be Az. If he wasn't, he'd have to pull a knife out of his kidney again and go see Igor and Hevanah.

So it was one of them. He sighed. "Figured as much." He reached under the desk and handed her a rookie's badge. "Go around back and you'll find a machine that will fit you for the uniform. Having the uniform is mandatory. Wearing it is optional. Most people like the look though. Have the badge on you at all times. Go to an unoccupied locker and you'll be issued stuff in it as soon as you register yourself to that locker. You will be responsible for the contents of the locker. You must register for the locker, you are not required to access the materials inside of it. That should be all. Commander Azrael will be with you to give you more in depth instructions whenever he comes back from patrol. Yadda yadda." He sounded extremely bored through the entire monologue. It was required of him to say it, and he had said it quite a few times that day. He suddenly looked at her, his eyes sharp, and calculating. "We believe in on the job training here at the Peace Keepers. There is no formal training, just what you do for yourself and experience in the field. You are granted promotions due to the length of your life here, not due to commendations, though commendations will come, and some might even have you considered accelerated in life." He went back to his news report. "Now have a nice day. Captain Hikari might be around here somewhere. You might have a nice chat with her." He waved the rookie off.

Hikari had once again read over the file and had it tucked under her arm when she entered the Hall of Peace. She glanced around quickly, finding only Beckett. With a sigh, she walked up to his desk. "Have you seen the commander?"

Hikari returned the salute respectfully. Beckett had been here much longer than she had, and she could only imagine the horrors that caused him to age so badly. "A rookie? Oh the joy, I can hardly contain myself." She blew her hair out of her face, before wiping the sarcasm from her voice. "I guess I can take her with me, in case I get into anything serious. Do you know where she went?"

"Well that explains it," Hikari mumbled under her breath. "Thanks Beckett, I'll show her around." She waved to him before going up to the recruit. "Good morning," she chirped, holding her hand out to her. "I'm Captain Nghst. Welcome to the PeaceKeepers. You'll be shadowing me today until you get your own beat.

"I'm in the middle of a case, so after I show you where your locker is, we'll be going out into the city. Follow me, if you will." She heads out of the hall, and takes a left, toward the personal quarters, wherein the locker rooms are located.

Hikari poked her head in, glancing about for Beckett. "Has Azrael showed up recently?"
