[Sirus]

Weston waved a hand dismissively.

"Yes, yes, whatever. Count me in, for all the good saying 'no' would do."

[Zako]

"Well, I figure that I will eventually get in trouble with you guys one way or another, so I guess working for you lot for awhile is alright. I'm in, and looking forward for an interesting time.

And it was in fact a barfight, one of the drunks got rowdy and wanted to bash all our heads in, so 'sparky' over there threw ice at him to dissuade him while the rest of us ganged up on him and threw him out."

Fargrim shrugs and stretches before looking at the man again.

"Got a question for you: Since you are looking for the source of magic, have you considered that the source may infact be a god, or group of gods? And what do you do about things that aren't magical in nature but are just as wierd?"

[Remuthra]

You don't get it man, that's the problem. I can see you're all the same though. The fact remains, why should I help you?

[Zako]

"Cause if you don't, they erase your memories or just kill you outright? Those sound like pretty good motivators to me."

[Remuthra]

You can't kill principles, man. I'm not kneeling when the government walks by.

[kj1225]

"And that makes me think of something. Do we get badges for if someone tries to stop us from doing our job, or are we going to just have to beat them up?"

[Mego]

You can't kill principles, man. I'm not kneeling when the government walks by.

"You keep insisting that we're part of the government. I never said that."

"And that makes me think of something. Do we get badges for if someone tries to stop us from doing our job, or are we going to just have to beat them up?"

"Like I said, our resources are basically unlimited. If you need something, we can get it for you."

"So far, 4 out of the 5 of you are in. I'm just waiting for Lebowski here to make a decision before we can begin."

[Remuthra]

So you're just some sort of vigilante group? I'm sorry, man, I don't deal with terrorists.

[Mego]

So you're just some sort of vigilante group? I'm sorry, man, I don't deal with terrorists.

"Vigilante implies that we don't have internal organization and support from outside. I assure you that we have both."

"Look, we need the extra help. Most of us are stuck here monitoring magical activity and identifying sparkies. We don't have enough field-trained agents for the rapidly-rising number of magical incidences."

[Remuthra]

Alright, look, man. I'm going to give you a chance, but if I see anything I don't want to be a part of, I'm out.

[kj1225]

"Don't worry you have me! ... Now that I think of it you should worry. Oh, well. So secret agent dudes, I think since we're all going to join you should tell us what type of fringe benefits we get."

[Mego]

"First things first. We are the Icarus Organization. We are separate from all governments and militaries, but receive aid from both the US government and the US military. This is a top-secret organization; only top officials in the Department of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the President know of our existence, aside from the members of Icarus. My name is Slade Molloy. I was the Commandant of the Marine Corps up until 5 years ago, when magic users started popping up. I used my connections and resources to form Icarus, knowing full well that, if this organization was under the control of any government or military entity, it would be used for the personal gain of that entity, rather than fulfilling our mission."

"Now that the introductions have finished, it's time for your training."

[kj1225]

"Well isn't your name cliche. But I suppose I could do with some training. Trying to find a house made getting in any practice next to impossible, after all."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Icarus...isn't that the kid who fell to his death from flying too close to the sun?"

[Sirus]

"Seems you should brush up on your mythology, 'Commandant'" Weston said, while smirking. "Unless, of course, you WANT to be known as the organization that reached beyond it's capabilities and got burned."
