Lien smiled while taking the drink from Jett, sipping it as she listened to her teammate explain how he was of use to the team, after Xavier had done the same and Mythos had shared a very important part of her past: she couldn’t remember it. Combat-wise, Mythos seemed like a good fit, a specialist in sniping and long-range combat, what the team lacked. Already knowing what Jett was saying, Lien studied Mythos’s face again. She couldn’t help but do so, there was just something about her that was… strange. The resemblance was striking, though there were obviously differences. Her new leader’s face was less full, with herself lacking the flat, almost hollowed cheeks Mythos had. Realizing she was staring and almost certainly in a way that could be interpreted as creepily, Lien suddenly was very interested in her water bottle.

As Jett motioned for her to introduce herself, Lien realized another thing. She had absolutely no idea what to say or do to impress Mythos. Xavier had his mechanics and his arm, Jett was had his semblance, what’d she have? And furthermore, all of the fancy lingo was lost on her, her trainer while Lien still served the Yaos was a bit more old-fashioned in his methods, and she didn’t exactly have many resources for such things in the Yao manor. ’Oh, I might as well just go on with it…’

“I guess it’s my turn now… Well, first, my weapons of choice.” Lien raised both of her hands, showing off the long nail guards on her fingers. “I call them Zhì and Zhōng, and they’re fine as in in combat, though,” she transformed them into their other form, “I mostly use them like this. They use kinetic and fire Dust, so my punches can pack more of a… punch.” Trying not to cringe at the unintended pun, Lien once again showed Mythos Zhì and Zhōng, this time not in their dormant form.  She then stood up from her spot on the couch, lifting a leg behind her and grasping her ankle to keep her boots, or more specifically the long blades attached to them, visible. “These aid my kicks. And occasionally get in the way. Neither of my weapons are really very convenient outside of combat.”

“My particular style,” Lien placed a hand on her chest to indicate herself, “is strictly close-quarters, and such my skills are more specialized. My style is neat, light, and concise, my strikes quick and fast yet strong as well. It’s also based off of various martial arts, Savate and Sikaran in particular. The neat part can sometimes be a weakness in that it’s predictable at times, the consistency in rhythm contributing to that weakness as well.”

To lead into her next words, Lien flared up her aura, letting it visibly run through her. “Aura-wise, I’m the most skilled user. I can enhance some attacks with aura to make them do more damage, I’m more adept and concentrating my aura in certain places, and can heal more than the average user. Also, my aura itself is quite strong, able to take more as well.”

“I complement the styles of the other two in combat too,” she added. Jerking her head over at Xavier, she said, “As far as Xavier is concerned, I am fast enough to take care of the gaps he leaves and the enemies that are fast enough to escape, making up for his lack of speed at times thanks to the weight of his equipment. With Jett,” she paused to nod at said teammate, “I can take advantage of his way of absorbing most of the enemy force, keeping them on him, as I focus on defense a lot, trying to protect my aura level as much as possible. Sometimes it means that I drag things out too long for myself, but if in a team situation, Jett makes sure that doesn’t happen. In general, my role is to dispatch of more enemies more quickly and more effectively, as Xavier lacks the speed to and Jett is mostly keeping the focus on himself. The former leaves gaps and the latter may take more than he doles out, which is where I come in.”

Finished with her explanation of combat, Lien plopped back down on the couch, returning her weapons to their dormant forms and trying not to let any harm come to the furniture. Perhaps it’d be nice revenge against the Schnee man, but she wasn’t that petty, wasn’t going to stoop that low. Lien then remembered that she’d yet to share anything about herself as a person. She half-considered skipping it altogether, she didn’t really like divulging information about herself to others, even Jett and Xavier had only been told what was absolutely necessary about her time with the Yaos. “About me, I’m from Mistral, and am an only child. And, um… you’re very pretty as well, Mythos.” She left out the part where she was adopted and that her parents and twin had died in Vacuo when she was young, it was a bit too personal for a stranger, and even Lien knew that it’d be really heavy information.

Mythos had first listened to Xavier; a techy heavy hitter. While she heard about him being able to lift it did bring a question into her mind. Mainly how would his spine hold up with the lifting of tremendous weights. She just left it done that his aura would support him, but still. Mythos let the thought leave her mind and did notice him trying to cover up, it was extremely hard to keep behaviour patterns away from her keen eyes. Though she just let it slide and accepted the water that Jett had handed to her.

Jett, the resident tank of the team; she took note of his armor ability and made sure to keep that in mind should she ever need extra cover/protection. Nice to know that he could keep his enemies back with his semi-auto shotgun. Admittedly she was a bit jealous about how he had a family back home. The only thing she knew was a rundown village, her motorcycle and a piece of paper with instructions. At least those were her first clear memories. Fun.

Mythos noted that each of her team members were mostly close-combat orientated fighters. She did find this a bit odd. Granted, this might of just been because of the vast differences between her style of fighting and thiers. Speaking of which she made a note that they had each others backs in terms of forms of CQ fighting. "So we have got the tank, the heavy hitter and the nimble...uh deer. Maiden, that sounded weird in her head. Probably didn't sound too great with Myrhos telling her that she was pretty. "Oh, by the way, I can handle myself in close-quaters fine, just letting you know so you guys can focus on your fights and not worry about me. Mythos brought out the black tube and let the blade fold out, showing it with each blade lenght before letting the blade collapse back down into the handle.

 "So I guess I'll be the one to deal with those who you guys can't reach." Mythos grabbed the handle of her blade and placed it back in its previous position on herself She grabbed the pistols and placed them underneath one of the cushions where her head had been previousl. "You guys don't mind me with keeping my shirt like this do you?" Mythos lifted the ends of her shirt slightly, obviously refrencing her prefrwnce for having her stomach exposed. Vacuo ain't a suit and tie type of place after all. "I can button up if it does make anyone uncomfortable."  At the same time Mythos also lifted up her hood/wrapped up cloak off of her and laid it down with her sharpened symbol placed against the couch, not wanting a blade sticking into her while she was going to catch some sleep. Even though she still sat up properly, wondering about their responses would be, maybe it would tell a lottle more about themselves just by their reactions. Who knows.

Xavier had zoned out of the conversation as he absent mindedly tinkered with a black octagonal box. The drone of his leaders words became background noise as he contemplated the tast at hand. Atlas did not fuck around with security and certainly not with their dust supplies. It wasn't unusual for them to higher entire military units to defende one shipment.
So this begs the question, why them? A group of inexperienced 2nd year Students of a Valian academy. There was definitely something going on.
Looking up to check in what his leader was saying he noticed that she was getting comfortable. Xavier passively smiled completely ignoring the question that his leader asked. Completely unintentionally of course, Xavier seemed to be extremely focused on his task.
This mission has 'ambush' written all over it. They have a big target and the perfect scapegoat. he glaced over to Lien for a second before a spark coming from his box drew his attention back to it.
This isn't good...it makes me wish that our leaders mid drift was our biggest concern.
A flicker of energy from the box in his hands pulsed for a half a second before it went as quickly as it came. If Xavier had to be honest his leader wasn't exactly instilling calm amongst him. Lien had a very big target on her back right now, that racist conductor would not hesitate to blame her for anything that went wrong. And while in this delicate situation they get a leader that not only looks exactly like her but conviently has a blank memory? Yeah, no.
She was fine for now but Liens safety came first. His leaders sights better be kept on the enemy or she was going to be receiving a very quick and very swift hammer to the back.
The shape in his hand glowed a brilliant blue as a force field washed over the room. A steady pulse of energy emitted from the machine as Xavier let out a long sigh and wiped some sweat from his brow.
It was too early to be coming to rash conclusion but...it's better to be prepared then dead.

Listening to the two ladies on the team talk, Jett rested calmly in his chair, smiling at his teammates. Watching Mythos make herself comfortable as well as exposing more skin, Jett simply smiled and shrugged as he reached into his pack for a block of wood. "We might as well get comfortable" he exclaimed. Pulling out his carving knife, he began to work on his next wood carving. "By the way, Mythos." he called out, looking over at his team leader. "I do a lot of wood carvings. They're mostly for my siblings back at home, but I do also make carvings for my team. So please feel free to request a carving of anything and I'll do my best." Giving her a broad grin, he looked back down at his handiwork. "We are family now, in a sense." he added before putting his full attention in the wood piece. Perhaps a dog for Cecilia...she always wanted a dog... he thought, his mind thinking of his youngest sister.

Feeling a slight pang of homesickness, Jett focused his thoughts completely on turning the wood block into a dog. Taking a sip from his soda, he cleared his throat before noticing the blue light coming from Xavier. "You get your contraption to work, Xavier?" he inquired, arching an eyebrow at him. Despite watching him numerous times, Jett could never understand anything that Xavier did. Technology and robotic things were all so foreign for him so there was not much that he could do to help his teammate other than inquire how things were going.

"I'm fine with it," Lien replied regarding Mythos's exposing of skin. Though in truth it made her a little wary, she herself would never do something as... bold... as that. Some people called it being a prude, she called it being modest. But she didn't want to cause any trouble, and it wasn't doing anyone any harm or anything.

Now directing her attention to Jett and Xavier, Lien took interest in what they were doing. "Jett's made me a few carvings," she piped up softly. "The lotus one is my favorite. Less a 3D thing, more a frame with a design on it. Here, it was something like this..." she adjusted her position on the couch so that she was on her knees and facing away from the rest. Lien then unbuttoned her outer jacket/dress, letting it slide down her shoulders to about her elbows to show her tattoo on display thanks to the backless-ish nature of her halter top. "He based it off of this, though he added some unique things." Done, Lien pulled her outermost layer up again, fastening it and turning back around to face the rest of her team. "If he makes you one, you'll love it." Lien tried-and only barely succeeded-at a small smile directed at Mythos, hoping that her choppy sentences weren't all too bad. Most of the time she was very quiet, but Lien was trying to make an effort to talk more for the new leader.

"Cool It suits you very nicely, Lien." Mythos brought herself up to sitting normally on her seat, as Lien talked about Jett's wooden sculpting and smiled back at Lien, she would need time to get use to this, trying to figure herself out and being around other people. "So... since I am the leader I think this goes without saying but, if any of you have any problems. Feel free to come to me. While a lot of things will seem new to me, I do think it would be best to start acting like a proper leader. I might also learn something about myself if i'm lucky" If Mythos was going to lead a team she thought that she should start acting like it, while she had no idea what to do exactly as a leader besides instructions and leading, it would be best to start attempting to play the role.

"I may have to request one when I get a good idea of what I would like." Mythos had a brief moment of silence before another thought came to her mind. "don't worry about the Overseer, if he tries anything i'll put him in his place. As soon as you show him how powerless he is then he will shatter like a piece of glass." She said that if she dealt like those type of people before, or at least held knowledge of typical personality traits and how to bring them down to break their confidence.

The glow faded away as Xavier turned off his machine and smiled at Jett."Its not everyday that a bug fix actually works. As the leader said, the overseer should not be a problem but wondering around the train alone seems like a stupid idea in general. Keep with your partner and we should be fine, speaking of which... "
Xavier locked eyes with Mythos and spoke with confidence

"Lien and Jett make good partners since his heavier fighting style complements her light one. Not only that but I will probably be the one in the back lines with you, giving you cover while simultaneously wreaking havoc to the enemies front line. If it's alright with you I think that we would make good partners atleast for the time being."

Glancing back to Lien and Jett, Xavier shot them a look that said please don't fight me on this.  Xavier was well aware that he was talking more business then usual and if he could have it his way then they would have their old leader back. But that wasn't how the world worked and Xavier would be damned before something went wrong on this mission.
Standing up and parting his trench coat slightly a swarm of mechanical beetles flew out and exited the room. Positioned in the different train cars it would prove easier to stay connected if Xavier knew where everyone was.
Putting his feet up, Xavier finished his address to the room. He wanted to be more participative in the conversation but "Mythos" was showing way to many red flags for him to be comfortable. Ironic seeing as he is lying down, but until he knew he could trust this new leader it would be best to keep her as close to him as possible.

"I will have to say that carving that was a rather difficult one, though it was a good challenge" Jett replied as he looked first at Lien and then towards Mythos. Despite not remaking on it, he couldn't help but agree that those two definitely did look similar. Though their body structure was different, there was many similarities within their faces that almost made them seem like they were somehow related. Realizing that he was gawking a little bit too much at the two ladies, Jett quickly averted his eyes to what Xavier was saying.

Smiling broadly to himself as Mythos agreed to let him make something for her, Jett then turned his attention to his carving, though he continued to listen to the others talk. Looking up at Xavier when he offered to be partners with Mythos, Jett had to think about it for a moment. Doesn't seem like a bad idea... he thought, when he suddenly caught Xavier's gaze. Ahhh he thought, taking the hint. "I don't have any issues with that." Focusing briefly as he worked on carving around the legs, he then looked up and gave Lien a warm smile. "Lien and I work really well together so I don't mind being with her. What do you think Lien?" he inquired, cocking his head slightly to the left before taking another sip from his soda.

Lien smiled at Jett as he recalled the carving she mentioned. Then tried to keep up the smile as he kept staring at her and Linh. Then awkwardly averting her gaze, focusing instead on Xavier.

He apparently wanted her and Jett to team up, while he paired up with Mythos. Truth be told Lien kind of wanted to get to know Mythos a little better, it was a little weird seeing someone so similar to her. They looked like they could be related. Maybe she had Vacuan relatives? There was really no way to know, her family, her real family, well... Anyway, it didn't make sense strategy-wise, and she wasn't bold enough to make her suggestion. "Yeah, I'm okay with that. Jett and I make a good team. Hope you guys do too." Not really knowing what else to say, Lien fixed her gaze on her boots, fidgeting with them and sipping from her water bottle, occasionally biting her lips, to keep them non-chapped and naturally pink. Lipstick didn't work for her, so why not turn her habit into a way to keep them plump?

Mythos thought about what Xavier said, while that was true she did question having a slower player at the back. It was a train they were fighting on. She doubted that they would all come up to them and it would make more sense to have him at the front of the team and have Lien with her. Allowing the speed users to catch up should the fight have to move up. Bring a team mesnt working together, while she was the leader it wouldn't be a good choice to actually just demand that of her team.

"Wouldn't it be better if I had Lien with me. We are working on a train with multiple targets, while Grimm are a seperate matter, but if we do get attacked by the WF it would be best to make sure no teammates are behind the rest due to their speed." In an area like this, relocation would be quite common if they bad even a basic level of fighting skills. "Plus, I think getting to know the other girl on the team would be nice. Girl stuff and all" She really just couldn't believe she said that. Well admittedly she wanted to know some more about Lien. Maybe a clue on her past, very doubtful, but it wouldn't hurt to hope. Mythos took a drink of her water before sealing the lid. Crossing her legs and lining herself up with the couch. This was definitely going to be trying times for her.

Xavier paused for a moment and took a second to ponder his leader's words. It wasn't reassuring that she was inferring a WF attack in such...exceptional circumstances and requesting closer time with Lien. It was laughable how obvious she was being if she did mean to harm their team, but even if she was completely innocent Xavier wasn't taking any chances. 
"Think about it this way, our job is to be guarding a single cargo. We were hired for Grimm, nothing more and nothing less. Our opponents will be coming to us no matter what and having the two ranged experts together would be great for a siege. If you want me at the front that is fine but you'd be pretty defenceless since me, Lien, and Jett are in the thick of it. Next thing we know you could be in a sticky situation and we can't do anything to help you. Had this been any other situation like an infiltration I would agree with you without question. But since Jett's and Lien's ranged capabilities are....limited it would be better if you had a partner to stay with you. Its the reason we work in cells."

Most of what Xavier said was just unbiased fact. If a Grimm sneaks up on their leader while she's alone in the backline it could lead to a lot of battlefield confusion and momentum loss. Which would be something crucial and they are under attack. If they were expecting white fang then it would get real nasty real quick if they had a hostage situation on their hands because no one was around to cover their leader.

"I will listen to what you say but you must take into the team weaknesses and lack of multiple ranges options is one of them. Not to mention I would rather you two had 'girl time' during free time no?"

Chuckling a bit to the last part Xavier listened intently to what he team had to say. He had hoped that he could keep Lien away from Mythos for a little while but even if he couldn't there were other ways to keep an eye on them. In the corner of the room a small bronze beetle perched itself.

Continuing to work on his carving, Jett briefly looked up at Xavier and Mythos. Thinking about the situation, he could see both sides being a good idea. Sensing a slight tension building up between the two, Jett decided it would be best to step in. "Both seem to be a good idea" he stated, continuing to focus on his carving. "I personally would prefer if I worked with Lien as we could probably do a better job at holding the enemies at bay while you two work on taking them out from afar." Looking up at Mythos, he gave her a warm smile. "Also, with the comments the conductor made about Lien, I would feel more comfortable being the one watching her back just in case something happens."

Turning his attention over to Xavier, Jett simply nodded his head once. "In the end, Mythos is the leader, so if she wants to team up with Lien, then we can just go with that" he stated, turning to nod his head in acknowledgment to Mythos. Regardless of the situation, there was a reason that Mythos was picked to be the team leader and not one of the other three. "I trust that you will make the right judgment call, Mythos." With all that said, he simply turned his attention back to his carving, working meticulously on the legs so as to not crack or chip the wood.

Lien watched the discussion unfold, feeling very, very useless just sitting there and being argued over. She wasn't really too good with strategy though, so contributions from her would always be few and far between in that category. "You're so thoughtful Jett, it's nice to know that you care. That conductor did seem to be problematic." She sighed. It wasn't like all Faunus were White Fang, the suspicion she sometimes got for being one, the suspicion she was getting now, it was such a burden. "We do work well together," she admitted, "we've done a pretty... bang up... job before. Nonus used to be our long range, and he used to work pretty well with Xavier in the plan he suggested. Plus, I'm strictly close-range and you're mostly long-range. I work best in the front, you work best in back." Lien fidgeted with her hands. "Still, do whatever you think is best. I don't know, maybe you've come up with a secret, really effective pairing. Your choice." Yes, she did want to spend some time with Mythos. But strategy was important too.

"Well, I guess well just go with your plan then. I'll team up with Xavier while Lien teams up with Jett." While Mythos' vpice remained completely neutral, she did in fact want to team up with Lien, mostly for the fact that that their similarities were uncanny.

"Democracy wooo." Mythos mananged in the most sarcastic tone which she was physically capable of doing. Which was admittedly lacking some substance but got the message across for the most part.

Xavier let out a sigh of relief he didn't even know he had been holding.  Throwing a glance of gratitude towards his two other teammates Xavier relaxed as the tense air that had settled in the past few minuets dissipated.

"Thank you for understanding Mythos it means a lot to me. Perhaps we could schedule in some down time later if you want to get to know Lien better. I know what its like to be a new person in a new place, at some level we all do. I'm sure that you'll find time to get to know everyone eventually."
Xavier spoke with a calm tone, one that resonated calm. Xavier was no fool, he could clearly sense the displeasure Mythos had with the plan. He hated coming off as a know-it-all resister, it was one of his down falls, but he would rather be a know-it-all then take unnecessary chances. Not to mention that if Mythos was who she said she was, they would have plenty of talking time to figure out the strange resemblance.

Not exactly knowing what to do or where to go he decided this would be a good time to kick it back for a bit. At least until their leader told them otherwise Xavier was perfectly content with fiddling away with his inventions.
