Yep, it's, I'd have to say, a great milestone for myself. The 50th Take, or as I'd like to call it, halfway to my 100th Take. Ehe, it seems like just yesterday I started these, but now look at how far it's gone! I just wanted to say thank you to my new and old readers for sticking with the Warlock, Hunter, and Titan's crazy adventures, and I hope you get to stick along for many more! But I know what you came here to see, enjoy a special celebratory Take! [quote]Missed the previous Take?

Don't fret, have a Chapter Index! https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/151518733[/quote] [b]Meet the Team... [I]Fire[/i]team[/b] [b]Warlock[/b] Awoken, Female Fireworks [b]Hunter[/b] Human, Male Sparklers [b]Titan[/b] Exo, Male Fire Crackers [spoiler]This goes out to one of my readers, zeppelinmg3. I haven't forgotten about your idea for the Speaker trying to convince others he isn't as uptight, and old, as he seems. I felt this was a perfect time to implement it![/spoiler] ____________________________ "Come on, come on, come on!" The Titan urged the Hunter and Warlock, who were both writing party invitations, fun doodles included. "We're writing as hard as we can, doofus!" The Hunter grunted, a sneer plastered on his face. "Please hurry, guys! We gotta send these out to our friends!" "Our [i]friends[/i]?" The Hunter scoffed, looking up from his paper. "What kinda friends do [i]we[/i] got?" "That is a valid question, Titan..." The Warlock looked up from her paper as well, setting her pen down on the side of it to clasp her hands together. "Do tell; what companions [i]do[/i] we have aside from ourselves?" ____________________________ "Who the [i]heck[/i] are 'The Titan, Hunter, and Warlock'?" A random Titan said aloud to his team as he gripped the invitation paper firmly in his hand. Another Titan shrugged. "Do they got free food?" He asked the leader. The leader Titan sat onto the snowy ground of the Cosmodrome, crossing his legs. "Yup, they got free food." "Let's go then!" ____________________________ "Eh?" Rush said, puzzled as he tore off an invitation from one of the cavern walls of the Crucible map, Shores of Time. He read it in mumbles, twirling his Hawkmoon casually. "Party, huh...?" He thought aloud as he spun around to shoot an incoming Guardian in the head. "Eh, I'll think about it..." He continued to talk to himself, holstering his Hawkmoon. "Oh wait..." Rush blinked in realization. That [i]Titan[/i] was going to be there. The [i]same[/i] Titan that wanted to squeeze him to death, [i]constantly[/i]. "Yeah-- No." ____________________________ "Ooh, Markus~!" Cosm0 squealed with glee. "There's gonna be a party soon~!" She announced to him, clutching the invitation paper in both her hands as she sat on a crate that rested in the corridors of the Tower. "Really?!" Markus asked her excitedly. "What's it for?" Cosm0 looked down at the paper to read it more thoroughly. "To celebrate the fiftieth of..." She leaned her head closer to get a closer look. "The fiftieth of... [i]Something[/i]." She then shrugged, pulling her head away and throwing the paper to the side. "Whatever! Matter's we're going~!" She then wrapped an arm around her possibly temporary partner and pulled him close to her for a "best friend snuggle". "It's gonna be sooooooo great~!" "Hehe!" Markus chuckled happily as he graciously embraced the snuggling. ____________________________ "What the--" Lord Shaxx muttered, practically crushing the invitation paper in his powerful hand. He analyzed the paper carefully, taking in every detail. More so of the fact that there was a drawing of a Titan, Hunter, and Warlock in what [i]seemed[/i] to be a circle of friendship. With [i]flowers[/i]. "Oh that is just..." Shaxx remarked in disgust. ____________________________ All the chatter and buzz about a supposed party filled the Tower. It seemed everyone was invited. Everyone, but the Speaker. The Speaker looked on at his ink blotted papers, all made in attempt to understand the Traveler's messages. But that was the least of his worries at the moment. There was something special going on and [i]everyone[/i] was included but himself! Was it because he was... Too old? "No..." He mumbled to himself. "It can't be..." He could have fun if he really wanted to! They didn't know him! "Oh Traveler..." The Speaker said to himself with exasperation, leaning onto his desk. ____________________________ "You [i]sure[/i] they're gonna come, big guy?" The Hunter asked the Titan as he stood on the tips of his boots to place decorations around the base. "And you sure they'll all [i]fit[/i] in here?" "Yup!" The Titan nodded, looking at the Hunter as he placed his own assigned decorations around the base. "They'll be sure to come, how couldn't they?" "Maybe because of the prodding fact that they hardly know us?" The Warlock replied this time, setting up party cups and, in the Titan's personal choice, party hats. "Don't worry, 'Lock." The Titan assured her as his attention was brought to her. "Who wouldn't want to come for the [i]big finale[/i] in the end?" "I can place a few bets..." The Hunter muttered under his breath so that nor Titan or Warlock wouldn't be able to hear him. "What [i]are[/i] we celebrating in the first place, Titan?" The Warlock asked him. "Our [i]friendship[/i]," the Titan explained. "Every single thing we've done together! As friends, as a [i]Fireteam[/i]!" "So, basically, it's all about us?" The Hunter scoffed as he stepped down from the stool he was standing on. "Pretty much!" [quote]Take 51 and this is [i]still[/i] fun~: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/187801824[/quote]
