Explorers of the Surface: RP Thread

Celliera Bleu was up before the morning Cucoo crowed.
There was a lot to be checked, a lot to be prepared for. She had two hours before her team showed up to double-check the equipment and her Loftwing. She felt plenty rested, and honestly didn't think she'd be able to sleep more if she tried... not that she had the time for that. There was still a lot to do before the others showed up.
By the time her subordinated were supposed to be meeting her, Celliera had given her bird a good brushing, told her she was a good bird, gone through every saddle bag that had been prepared for them previously, and double-checked the path on the map she had planned to take.
When the time came, Celliera made her way out of the office and into the briefing room to await the rest of her team.

Ahem! Professor Eagus cleared his throat
Vijay looked up from his pumpkin soup . He stood up and raised his sword to salute Eagus.
you sure about this?
yes Master I am
I think you need to stay in Skyloft with Pipit you ain't awarded Knighthood still and.....
I think I'm fine Sir I'm to go down with Pumm and Kina to help them get set in Faron
As you wish son as you wish but be careful son.......
With a sigh Eagus gets up and leaves

Yato is on a morning flight with Whitewing. He leans in, relishing the feeling of the wind whipping through his hair, a sensation he knows he won't be able to feel for quite some time. "Time to go back." He murmurs in Whitewing's ear. The loftwing gives a cry and wheels around, heading back to Skyloft.

(Returns from pumpkin landing) Meanwhile Vijay checks his luggage:a bo , a sword, a shield, his diary,a rope, a sail cloth, a sling , a bow , a quiver of arrows( even though he specialised in wielding bo his secondary options was always ranged weapons). He took a sip of Kina's soup .........he blushed his ears turned pink she made it herself! He was about to whistle and call his loftwing when he saw Yato. He ran up to him
'sup mate?

The sun's beams broke through the window of Kora's room and landed on her face. She woke up with a jolt, bursting out of bed and quickly running to the Water closet commons to get herself cleaned up. As the warm water hits her face she grabs a solution made of Boiled Chu Jelly and Mint and runs it through her hair and all across her body. The solution gives a rejuvenating effect to the skin and scalp as well as giving a fresh and clean feeling. After she rinses herself and dries off, she remembers she has a meeting with someone named Bleu about the surveying of the World Below.

Back in her room, she dons her Knights Uniform, a ash gray Tunic with Red Trim with a Red hood and a pair of goggles. Then Kora goes through her pack. Travel med kit? Check. Notepad? Check. Sail Cloth? Check. Bottles? Check Check Check. Guitar? I'll bring it for now, I mean what can be more healing than Music? Basically anything really. I'll leave it here. and lastly a Textbook about Herbs and Plants used for healing? Check. Now I should get going.

Quickly, Kora runs and goes into a door she thought was the Meeting room, but it turns out it was the Men's Locker room. With a quick Door slam, she goes and finds the right Door this time. as she opens the door she stands at attention and salutes
"Sir! Kora reporting for Duty"

 

[DekuNut]

Celliera looks at the door. So the first one has arrived.
She looked the recruit up and down. Kora was someone she had worked with a few times before, though the two of them didn't quite know each other well. Even so, she was still the one that Celliera knew the best, having been around the longest outside of Celliera herself. Plus, Kora was a healer; something necessary for both soldiers and explorers. No doubt she would prove to be among the most important of the party members.
She gestured to the door, "Come in and sit down. You are the first to arrive, and I imagine the others will be attending to us shortly," with that said, the commander returned to her previous task of mounting a large map on the wall.
The map was quite simplistic, giving a rough outline of the areas that the Hero had visited during his quest. It really wasn't a lot of information, and the gaps in the map were large... which annoyed Celliera to no end. She was expected to bring in a team with next to no information, which went against her own cardinal rule. But, in the end, it's what needed to be done.

 

[Storm]

This... wasn't Commander Bleu. This was a surprise to her just as much as anything, but doing as she was ordered to do, Kora sees herself to a seat. Kora looks to her commanding Officer.

Lieutenant Celleria Bleu. a highly decorated Knight to be duly respected, lest you meet her fury at the blunt end of her axe. she wasn't the most charismatic of the Commanding forces, but in the few and far between instances in which Kora had the pleasure of offering aid to men under her banner, Kora was commended for her expertise and use of the Hylian Herb and Stamella Mushroom. That was enough for Kora to not go back the way she came, and perhaps that was enough for her to be recommended in the first place. Kora had heard horror stories of those who could not measure up, but just wrote it up to delusions, but something in the back of her mind had a spark of curiousity about the level of truth of such.

Kora waiting patiently for The others in the party to arrive.

 

[Woyogoyo]

One of Kina's fanboy's is talking to him. Yato's brow furrows in puzzlement. A moment later, he remembers. "Ah yes, you're part of the expedition as well. Nothing much, I'm just heading over to the meeting point. I don't wish to be late."

 

[GrooseIsLoose]

Huh! Everyone is in a hurry. thought Vijay . He casually strolls to the place where the exploration squadron is supposed to assemble. He noticed a girl sitting waved and sat beside her he winked roguishly and started to speak." Hi! You must be Caro name's Vijay Don't you think we're over doing this?
I dunno what's so special about this expedition. Just get to the surface and HALLELUJAH! The hero has vanquished Demise . why are we packing these dead weights? "he asked pointing the carefully chosen array of armoury
And why are we under a random Commander instead of Comm Eagus?..... what's her name again?

 

[Storm]

Kora looks at one of Kina's Groupies and is a bit disgusted at his infidelity to his maiden. She looks at him. She merely said " its Kora, not Caro" and returned back to her field notes about what The Hero of the Skies reported back to Lord Gaebora.

At least what was made public to the people, and perhaps a little extra for the knights. This Tome of knowledge was quite the read to Kora, devouring the tome and making streamlined notes. Kora was disappointed though there was little about the Flora of the regions below. Kora supposed she would have to be the one to do such, and her peers would be the test subjects.

 

[DekuNut]

And so came the other two.
Vijay was someone Celliera had seen around. He was a knight's apprentice, but a little bit on the easily-distracted side. She imagined much of what she said today would go in one ear and out the other. But, from what she could tell, he had a good heart, and would do his best... for whatever that was worth. She had an inkling that he had been placed on this mission in order to have Celliera straighten him out a little... which she would gladly do. He had the makings of a good knight in him, if he could dig it out from behind everything holding him back.
Yato was a bit more of a loaner than the others. He wasn't really involved in the knights program, and seemed like more of a drifter from what she could tell. However, he was self-sufficient, and very capable in most skills they would need to survive out there.
Everyone had a purpose. Everyone had use to the team as a whole. Everyone had room to grow.
This was her ideal team.
"Now that you all have arrived, if you could please take a seat, I can begin going over everything we need to know, and hopefully we can get out of here early," she begins pacing around the room, "I don't think I need to explain why we're here. We all know. Everything we knew about our world has been turned upside down in the past few months, and now it's up to the five of us to find out what we've been missing all this time. We're going to take detailed maps, samples, and notes of everything we find below in order to determine the best course of action for Skyloft to take," she gestures to the map she was hanging on the wall, "This is a basic outline of what we know of the world below. After we depart today, we'll start off in a base camp in the Sealed Grounds, which was established by Zelda and Link after their return to the surface. From there, we'll begin mapping out the area between there and Lanaryu Desert, and then from there we will travel to the Eldin Volcano. Are there any questions so far?"

 

[Storm]

Kora counts the people in the room. there was Celleria, the Pumpkin Groupie, herself, and... Yato? why the hell is Cold Pancake Yato coming? No Matter. I'm sure he'll be of some use, but still that was four.
" Sir? I only count four of us here. Will our fifth person make themselves known before we set off, or are they already briefed and therefore not required for this meeting?" Kora said with the utmost sincere respect.
She was generally curious about the strengths and weaknesses of the party, but kept that to herself as she awaited an answer to her query.

 

[GrooseIsLoose]

Vijay looked blank. He definitely felt like a newbie in here . He ain't got Comm Eagus and his mates Link and Pipit here .
Vijay chewed his pencil. Lanayru desert......?
He suddenly got up
wotje mean we're going to Lanayru? There's nothing there...........

 

[DekuNut]

"On the contrary," Celliera learned over the table that Vijay was sitting at, "We don't know what's there. That is the point of this mission. But that doesn't mean anything about what is and isn't there, yes?"
She stands there, waiting for an answer.

 

[Storm]

The moment Celliera leaned over the table, Kora leaned back, almost falling out of her chair. but the plan of heading out and mapping the surface sounded like a perfect opportunity. but something in the back of her mind lit with anger. Her father was still out there. probably with a new family and new kids and probably forgot all about her and her mother. the outrage of his debaucherous infidelity. Kora calmed down and continued to listen intently to Her commanding officer
