A man in front of you is going to speak soon, it becomes apparent. He has gathered you all here for a reason, something that so far is a massive mystery. He lets you chat amongst yourselves, but soon clears his throat, as if to bring about silence. The crowd is rather small, but it still considered a crowd. The man waits a couple more seconds for silence, then, satisfied with the complete lack of noise besides the constant ticking of gears, begins speaking. His voice is rather deep, but not gravelly. His eyes are a piercing shade of blue, or at least they look like they used to be. Now, they are rather absent minded, as if he is thinking about something, or making a calculation in his head. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I've gathered you all here to explain a very pressing problem. You see, I want to go abolish the current Empire forever."

((WELL WELL WELL.))
I sit in the stuffy room near the back of the crowd. I wipe my forehead with my sleeve, trying to keep the sweat out of my eyes. What a poor place to meet, under a machine room like this. But what can you do, the man IS a revolutionary, and they can't quite affore the luxury of choosing where to hold meetings undetected. |

| "Now now, listen to me. I should hope that none of you will panic, for that will reflect poorly on me. I have called you all here because you are either the best of the best, people I know personally, or you are known revolutionaries, with a great deal of skill." He pauses for a while, and looks up to the ceiling, thinking. "Now, I'm sure you've all heard of the city they have uncovered, and the plans of colonizing it, and how the emperor has moved there, correct?" |

| Drake Hawksworth sat in the back of the room, slouching on his chair with his arms crost over his brown vest. He'd heard all this before. He pulled his golden pocketwatch out of his pocket and gazed at the second hand a moment before putting it away and continuing to listen to the speech. Because this speech was different. This one sounded like it wouldn't last for afew days before dying out. This rebellion could mean something. |

A man sat in the back of the room, fiddling with a stick in his teeth. This was interesting.
[For my char, he looks like Inkheart's Dustfinger, I guess.] |

((lolno.))
I keep to myself, although most the others enthusiasticly nod and the like. Pssh. As long as I get paid, or at least a share in the loot. If not, It'd probably be more profitable to just stell them out. That'd be fun. |

(Hooray.) WILL POST NAME HERE WHEN I INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU GUYS.
I sit on a wooden chair, not that comfortable. I don't want to be here. Flipping a strand of dark brown hair out of my eyes, (You now know my hair color.) I look around at the other people. They all looked.. I can't even describe it. Why was I even here in the first place?

| Drake stroked his blond goatee thoughtfully as the speaker continued. From his brown vest over a tan/off-white shirt and black pants, with short, combed blond hair, he looked just like the average citizen. His eyes were a fiery green, and to someone that gazed intently into them it would seem they could see through the body and into the soul. Silently he was taking notes, but with his calculating mind and not a paper and quill. |

| To hellgates with it. I decide to speak. "Yes, I have heard,", I say, my voice like silk on the wind. |

| "As the emperor moves, so does the nobles and their families. With them moves the commoners who work for them. With them comes the rich merchants wanting to make money, with them comes more merchants, and commoners looking to make a living. This city, this "Heart of Bronze" is going to become the center of the empire in a few months. And they will be bringing a few others, namely us. Revolutionaries and geniuses, thieves and unhappy merchants. From this city, we will set up a base, and launch our rebellion against the empire from the core of the empire." He smiles widely. He had been careful to use the word 'we' as if implying that they are already part of the rebellion. |

Drake saw this as an opportunity to speak up. "Ah," he shouted from the back, "I am moving to this new city to work with my engineering business! Perhaps," he continued, "I could provide any useful information I find? |

| A man leaned against a pillar toward the back, his features concealed by the darkness underneath the hood of a dark cloak. The mans voice was resonant despite its lack of volume, and it seemed curious, yet to the skilled ear were the under currents of both suspicion and desire."So you seek revolution then. An ambitious undertaking. A cause I have seen to the seeds of for longer than most would care to know. But the question arises then, once revolution is achieved, what shall be done then? Who shall lead, who shall follow, and who shall die?" |
