Lets Put a smile on the Face!!

[Jesta]

"New day new place new smells god i love this galaxy!" Jester said enthusiastically, walking off his shuttle. His italian accent saying nearly everything about him. The shuttle lifted off and headed back up to his large ship until his returned. He had literally just signed up for a military unit and today he was going to be tested by the officials. Bright golden eyes scanned the base with amusement. So many soldiers all formally dressed and making their normal workout laps around the base. Others were being screamed at by drill instructors and some were simply lazing about polishing their guns and talking. "This a base or military camp?" He asked himself with a chuckle, tossing a very large duffle bag ofer his shoulder and making his way forward.

Jester wanted to make a good impression so he left his favorite mask in his bag as well as all his other things. His favorite pistol was on his right shoulder-blade almost as if it were positioned as a sword. His mothers knife as always stayed on his lower spine horizontally. His golden and black fur glazed in the warm sun and his long fur was slicked back. Nearly instantly the soldiers turned some of their attention towards him and cocked eyebrows seemed to be highly noticeable. Jester smiled happily and lifted a hand in the air. "Hello my friends, your all looking absolutely wonderful today." He complimented loudly. Not gaining everyones attention for a moment. They all exchanged glances and simply carried on. Jester shook his head. "They will say hi later." He assured himself. Making his way to the main building.

The feline/canine made his way into the large halls and walked up to a desk. A women with her back turned going through some papers was there along with others who seemed to eye Jester. Some of the ladies snuck winks and waves at him and he snickered. "Uhhh mylady, would you be as so kind as to point me in the direction of the training grounds? Im here for the initiation." He stated charmingly.

 

[Makayla Shaw]

Makayla Shaw was looking at what the training courses that were being assigned. Alot of them were drills on how to use this weapon and that weapon. or how to use a medikit. it was all easy for her. She had grown up in a place that she had to fight for herself. The only problem was that she was shy. She was not the kind of person you would think that could dish out 30 rounds of a rifle in less than 3 seconds. or fly through the mud course. She wore her uniform and had her twin pistols at her hips. On grounds she was required to carry a SR4 blaster Rifle. Which now was resting against the table.

Makayla remembered yesterday when she came to the training grounds. She was all alone and scared to even talk to the clerk at the front desk. But now she had gotten somewhat used to all of the people around here. She jumped when someone talked to her. "Uhhh mylady, would you be as so kind as to point me in the direction of the training grounds? Im here for the initiation." She turned around to meet the man and realized it was really a cat-dog-human-thing. She froze and looked at all the fur that was on his face. "Um uh......" Her hands clenched the Initiation fourms that she also needed to be accepted into the Republic army. "These are the fourms, and uh The center is just outside and to your ...um... left?"

She was saying um again. She always did this when she was scared and nervous. it freaked her out that the Dog cat thing was smiling at her and that just made it all the worse.

 

[Jesta]

Jesta noticed the women at the counter had two pistols at her hips and he tilted his head slightly. He knew that class well, his mother often trained with those types of pistols. The women grabbed her papers and he drew his attention back to her. She turned around and started to give weird faces at him and he chuckled. "Whats wrong am i that ugly? Haha." He joked, touching his cheeks with his hand. He women pointed in the direction. He grinned and read the nervousness on her face. "But really you ok? Come on smile its good for ya." He encouraged.

"You can smile cant you? Or am i that scary." He teased. Looking to his left and down the hall were he heard the sound of heavy duty punches. Jesta laughed. "Well someones having fun without me." He joked, looking back at the women. "Well you work on that, ill see you around my lady. And im Jester, but my friends call me Jesta." He introduced with a bow.

 

[Makayla Shaw]

Makayla was entirely taken back as the ma- no not man, dog thing was talking to her about smiling. "No you are not ugly." She readjusted herself so she would stand taller. To her he was a person who got well with others while she did not. "Um Makayla..... Shaw. Um Thank you?" She tried to force a smile on her face that might look somewhat nice. She was not one to smile when she was nervous. She hid from things.

"I Uh... Guess that I'll.. see you at the Initiation?"

 

[Jesta]

"Yeah, yes you will." He winked, walking down the hallway to the left. Adjusting his bag he walked slowly down the hall in his black military outfit. He probably looked strange with all that black and blue but had gold highlights and markings on his fur. A birth defect his mother still loved him for. He missed his mother, he should go and visit at some point but the hybrid simply was always busy.

Reaching a large room full of other men and creatures Jesta looked around to see large bleachers and in the center of the room was a large hard square ring. One large man and another smaller one stood in the middle as he started to speak. "LISTEN UP SHINERS. THIS HERE IS THE PHYSICAL INITIATION OF THE TEST. YOU AND A TEMATE OF YOUR CHOOSING MUST WIN A TWO ON TWO BATTLE WITH US. IF YOU BEAT US YOU MOVE ON TO THE SECOND PART OF THE TEST. SO WHOS FIRST!?" The man shouted, making all the men in the bleachers stand in attention. Jesta just looked at them like a stick in the mud. Everyone there wore formal clothing and Jesta was the only one wearing black. No matter. He looked around and sighed. "Partner hu?" He asked himself quietly.

[Makayla Shaw]

Makayla followed the Dag man. into the room where they were giving orders for the first test. She was carrying her forums and the SR4 Blaster over her back on a sling. It slapped her back as she walked behind Jester, or is it Jesta? As she was walking she almost fell over but caught herself. When she came in he was mumbling something about partners.

"Um Jester? Since you are the only person I really know...Um... can I pair up with you?" For her this was a big step because she normally didnt talk to people that she didn't know. Let alone join up with them in a class. Makayla was almost shaking in her combat boots from being so nervous. Maybe the guy would take it the wrong way or something.

[Jesta]

"Mmmmm, all these people already looked paired up...i wonder if a handicap is out of the question." He whispered to himself as two cadets walked onto the ring to fight, they were quickly beaten with a clothesline and body slam. Jesta flinched and put a finger to his chin. "Probably...." He decided. Scratching the back of his head he sighed and set down his duffle bag. Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him and caught the scent of the women at the desk. A moment passed and he turned around when she asked if she could pair up with him. He gave a smile and clapped. "Why of course of course, i need a partner for this thing anyways. And please, call me Jesta." He told her, looking at his weapons again. "And i dont think we are allowed to shot them." He advised, looking down in the ring. "Anyways you wanna go next or wait?" He asked her.

 

[Makayla Shaw]

Makayla looked down at her Pistols and realized that she couldnt use them. That ruined her day. If she could this challenge would be over in seconds. Not much phased her when she was in the zone. She nodded her head at Jesta, "Any Time works for me. Id rather get this done and over with." She didnt like to wait becasue them everyone would stare at her thinking about how did she even get in here. let alone past the first training course.

Jesta nodded and chuckled. "Atta girl, lets get it on!" He said enthusiastically, lifting his hand and jogging down the stairs. "Yo, we next. Me and misses up there." He told the men in the ring to turned around and eyes Jesta as if they were going to beat him to death. He slowed down and stepped into the ring. Looking at the men he smiled as if he were a female and poofed his hair. "Hiii..." He said mocking a women's voice. "No matter what happens here...i hope there are no hard feelings." He said with a wink, then bursting into laughter while someone foot to foot. "Ohhh this will be fun this will be fun." He said happily. The men exchanged glances and cocked eyebrows. "Name soldier." They told him sharply. "Jester Macrovilli IV. Other wise known as The Joker." He told the, putting his hands behind his back and waiting for his partner.

 

[Makayla Shaw]

Jesta's comment gave her some confidence in the first test. She followed him to the ring and set all of her stuff down. The Cat was jumping out of anticipation for the event. The men asked for her rank and name. "Makayla Shaw." the man straight infront of her nodded his head and said "lets begin." As like a lightning strike he rushed forwards to Makayla. Her eyes widened and time seemed to slow down for her. She could see all the flaws the man had in his assault. he was slightly limping on his left foot and his right ankle was twisted slightly to the right as he ran.

Everything came back to speed and she went into action. Moving out of the charging man he zoomed past her. As this happened she leaned down and swiped her arm across his limping knee to knock him over. The man fell flat on his face with a slam that shacked the ring around them. She grabbed his ankle with cat like reflexes and twisted making 3 pops come from his ankle. maybe that would keep him from running?

"Lets Begin" those were the words that triggered his military training. He noticed the larger man had charged after Maka, but she quickly subdued him in a matter of seconds and he laughed at him. Suddenly a heavy impact punch landed across Jestas cheek and he twisted stumbling over. "AAHAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed historically. Rubbing his chin. "Nice shot bud." He told him laughing out loud. Keeping his hands behind his back he walked back up to the soldier and smiled. "Come on give daddy some sugar." He purred. Setting the man off at he landed five blows to Jestas body. He laughed as if each hit tickled and fell to the ground holding his chest and rolling on the ground laughing. "Hehehehe, now its a party!" He shouted, doing a flip and throwing himself to his feet. "Is that all you got?" He taunted, leaving his hands behind his back. The mans eyes grew wide with fury and he attempted a haymaker. Jesta decided to fight back and swiftly moved his head to the side, the mans arm went through his neck and shoulder area and Jesta played a game and held the mans arm with his neck. He pulled and jerked but Jesta just stood there smiling. Reaching out with blinding speed he took the man by the bottom of his jaw and squeezed, making his tongue fall out. "Whats the matter...cat got you tongue?" He joked, pulling at his tongue and pulling him lower by it. Then throwing his his knee he smacked him in the face with his knee. Making him flip over. Jesta put his arms him and chuckled. "Woooooo hahahaha." He laughed.

 

[Makayla Shaw]

Makayla saw what happened to Jesta. She cringed when he was punched in the face. It looked like he might get bruised from it. The dog/cat taunted him and finally ended his misery by giving the man a knee to the face. both men were down in less than a few seconds. THe man she took down rolled over to his back and slowly got up to his feet trying to decide which foot was his 'good one' He groaned as he leaned up against the side of the ring. "Gods girl what did someone do to you as a kid?"

Makayla was red faced as she just hurt the man and he was surprised that she took him out so easily. "You may go." The man said. Makayla looked a Jesta and shrugged her shoulders.

 

[Jesta]

Jesta looked at the man who was rolling on the ground and he chuckled. "Well now you know that beautiful ladies always have thorns. Do well to remember that bobo." He told him as he said they could go. He laughed and walked next to Maka with a skip in his step. Bright smile still as he congratulated her. "Maka, that was some great, great, hand to hand combat." He lifted his hand for a high five. Now that they passed the test it was on to the second part of the exam.

[Makayla Shaw]

Makayla followed Jesta out of the ring and smiled as she returned the high five. "Thank you, you weren't to bad yourself." Makayla picked her stuff up quickly and walked down the hall with Jester. Her mind was racing about what was the next challenge. Would it involve flying? shooting? all of the above? She didnt know. "Are you ready for the next test Jesta?" She asked it casually and with conviction this time. She like Jesta because he was always up beat. jumping around everywhere literally.

She on the other hand was the Shy one. Not an open holo. She was small and she used that to her advantage. and being fast was what she did best. her hands rested on the holsters as she walked with a slight sway. She was feeling good right now.

 

[Jesta]

"Grazi!" He said picking up his duffel bag and slinging it over his shoulder. Looking behind him he saw almost everyone in the room staring at them with their jaws dropped. "All eyes on us!" He said winking at them and jogging down the hall way to catch up with Maka. She asked if he was ready for the next test and he cackled. "Pfft, born ready." He meant it literally. He was actually born to be a soldier, twas his calling. He looked at her as she swayed her hips and smiled. "Haha you do smile!" He pointed, walking to the next part of the building. "Knew it." He joked, looking around.

[Makayla Shaw]

Makayla Smiled a huge grin. She was glad that she showed who she really was and not some damsel in distress. She was walking slightly ahead. "Well I wonder what we will have to do next?" She just thought outloud. They walked to the next building when they were taken to a set of stands. They were told to listen to the Captain who would come out.

"All of you will be split up into groups of 5 where you will be tasked in getting into a building, grab intel and get out. each one of you will be assigned roles by how well you did in the First test. IS THAT CLEAR!" The whole crowd said at once "SIR YES SIR!" However Makayla didnt say a word. She was only thinking that she would have to pair up with more people that she didnt know. Now she lost her smile.

 

[Jesta]

Jesta and Maka walked to the next building and he shrugged. "No idea, but either way we got this." He said confidently, breaking into a quicker pace as they reached the next building with their new assignments. The captain explained the rules and how the next test would work and while everyone said 'yes sir' Jesta simply chuckled and clapped as if he had seen a dazzling performance. Assignments such as this were often easiest to Jesta, active camo only made it more simple. The five group thing however only made him iffy. Working with others were fine and dandy hut he preferred to work with those he knew, like his squad of Maka as of today. The captain heard Jesta clapping and shot him and Maka a glance.

"Ah yes, Jester and @[member="Makayla Shaw"]. You two were top ranked in the previous test." He said with a wicked grin. Pointing at them. "Therefore your test will be most difficult, you two will he the only ones on a team. And your target, is held in the very center of the training course deep in the base. Shock blasters and and heavily guarded. And your not the only ones after it." The captain smiled thinking he made Jesta shake in his skin but he only laughed harder. "Oh yeah, scary sir. Lets play." Jesta said, nudging Maka. "You know how to shoot yes?" He asked with a grim smile.

 

[Makayla Shaw]

Makalya was not that surprised that the two of them were picked out as the best in the first challenge. But to make a 5 man mission with only two would be difficult. She nodded at her Superior and looked at Jesta like he was an idiot. "Your talking to the only person here to shoot 30 rounds from a Rifle in less than three seconds and hit with in the size of a lens of a gas mask. Of course I can shoot. Been doing it all my life." Makayla looked away to the people that were being assigned their groups and given their tasks.

She looked back at Jesta and gave him a smile "Lets do this."
@Jesta

 

[Jesta]

Jesta looked at Maka when the got defensive about his shooting and started to tell him how good she was, but unfortunately Nyra was doing the same and with far more weapons. 'They would get along.' He thought to himself. She finished and he put his hands up in surrender. "Why soo serious?" He teased, backing off for the door to head off to the course. "Ill be using my hands as i always so...maybe my pistol if things get hairy." He stated looking back at her. Pointing his fingers at her head he closed on eyes and made a pretend shot with his hand. "Headshots all night." He challenged, pulling his pistol from his shoulder and twisting it.

[Makayla Shaw]

Makayla somehow always got to serious at the wrong moments. he was just messing with her and she took it the wrong way. Oh Damn herself. She shook her head at his teasing of her reaction to his simple question. Makalya followed him to the door and watched as he 'shot' her with his finger pistol. with the challenge of "Headshots all night." She smiled as he twirled his pistol. "Don't worry about that Jesta. You may have to worry about keeping up with me." She made a challenge of her own as she walked past him to the building where they would get all of their materials needed for the mission. Now she was being the Jester.
