[b][i]She looks directly into the man's eyes. Her dull, blue pupils briefly flickered to a piercing sky blue, and her eyes widened with shock, before they returned to their original blue. Immediately after this, she nodded, standing up. Joining this Legion was the right thing to do, however she did not know what might end up from her decision. All that she knew was that, for a brief moment, she could see....
And so, she accepted his offer.[/i][/b]

[b]The Legate led her to a small Legion camp outside of the Dojo. The camp was many, many red tents, all surrounding a big, white tent. He led her inside the white tent, and took her to the quartermaster.[/b] "Leone. This is our newest recruit, Cassie." Leone: "Legate, aren't women not allowed to be recruited into the Legion? I thought Caesar forbade it." Legate: "Quartermaster, Caesar died when the Courier assaulted Hoover Dam, along with Legate Lanius. I have absolute control over this division until the next Caesar is named. So no, it is not forbidden now. We are low on men and allies. We take what we can get. Now, get Cassie some armor." Leone: "Yes, Legate." [b]Quartermaster Leone left the room, then came back with a set of Recruit Legionnaire armor. He handed it to Cassie.[/b] Leone: "Now, it's not fitted to fit your chest size, so come back if you need it tweaked." [spoiler]https://goo.gl/images/DJq8rO This is what the armor looks like. You can chose whether to wear it casually, but you must wear it during Legion raids or battles.[/spoiler]
-
[b][i]Cassie nodded, taking the armor. She felt around it, picturing what it looked like in her mind. She pointed to the armor, then to her clothes, and made a question mark.[/i][/b] [spoiler]What's the Legion's name?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]What do you mean? It's official name is Caesar's Legion[/spoiler] Legate: "You can choose whether or not to wear it casually, but you must wear it during Legion battles."
-
[b][i]She nodded again, this time a little exasperated. She took out a paper and pen, writing.[/i][/b] [i]Where can I change[/i] [spoiler]K[/spoiler]
-
"You will be permitted a tent. It's the last one on the bottom right."
-
[b][i]She nodded, and began heading towards the tent.[/i][/b]
-
[b]She walked past many conversations, and other tents. It takes a few minutes to arrive to her tent.[/b]
-
[b][i]She entered the tent, feeling around it, and trying to grasp an image for what it looked like.[/i][/b]
-
[b]It was simple, the ground was covered in cloth, and there was a small footlocker in front of a sleeping bag.[/b]
-
[b][i]She changed into her armor, and walked back out into the camp.[/i][/b]
-
[b]Many of the Legionnaires took slight glances at her, this was very unusual for them. Eventually, she heard the Legate.[/b] "Cassie! Come here!" [b]It was coming from about twenty feet to the right.[/b]
-
[b][i]She turned to her right, and walked over to the Legate.[/i][/b]
-
[b]She heard five more people beside her, and the Legate was in front of them all.[/b] "Listen, Recruits! You are the fresh blood of the Legion! You will be combatants and diplomats of the Legion!" Recruit 1: "Excuse me, Legate?" Legate: "Yes, Recruit?" Recruit 1: "Why is there a woman here? Aren't they too fragile?" Legate: "Do you remember what the second Caesar said about a Legate's decisions?" Recruit 1: "They are final and absolute. But sir-" [b]The Legate smacks the Recruit, leaving a gash in the Recruit's cheek.[/b] Legate: "I will not have this woman's strength questioned. She has proven her worth. Now, are you ready to listen?" All Recruits: "Yes, Legate." Legate: "Good. Now, I want to see each of your melee techniques. Practice on the dummies." [b]There seems to be some practice dummies next to them. A Vexillarius hands them each a machete.[/b]
-
[b][i]Cassie takes the machete, and walks over to the dummy. She thinks for a few seconds, before slashing from right to left in a wide arc.[/i][/b]
-
[b]The Legate is clearly watching each one, when Cassie hears footsteps behind her.[/b] ???: "Death to the Legion!" [b]A clash of metal is heard, then whoever swung at the Legate is split open.[/b] Legate: "Filthy Dead Horses traitors."
-
[b][i]Cassie turned, making a question mark with her right index finger.[/i][/b]
-
"There was a tribe called the Dead Horses that turned on the Legion. That was one of their members. Sneaky Profligates."
-
[b][i]She nodded, taking note. She went back to attacking the dummy, not really seeing (heh, phrasing) the point of it.[/i][/b]
-
[b]After a little bit of hitting the dummies, the Legate speaks.[/b] "Good technique, Recruits. Now, get some rest. You'll need it for tomorrow."
-
[b][i]Cassie puts the machete down, but doesn't head towards her tent.[/i][/b]
-
[b]The rest of the Recruits leave.[/b] Legate: "Why are you not going back to your tent?"
-
[b][i]She shakes her head, looking at the sky. She had not slept for over a year.[/i][/b] [i]Insomnia[/i], [b][i]She wrote on her paper.[/i][/b]
-
"That is unfortunate. Would you like something to eat, then?"
-
[b][i]She nodded, her eyes not leaving the sky.[/i][/b]
-
[b]The Legate led her to a large tent, and then to a long, wooden table.[/b]
