Rebels without a cause | Leo

[Drew Desher]

A bright flare light briefly illuminated the shadows as Drew struck a match and lit his cigarette. The match light soon died as he shook it out but a red glow remained as he drew deeply on the cig. He supposed it was a bit melodramatic a meeting under the cover of night, cigarettes lit and rebellion to discuss. All he really needed was for some tense music to start playing and it would be a scene from a movie. That was fine. Drew didn't mind and besides it was kind of appropriate for the meeting he was having tonight.

He was meeting with one of the Usurpers. He wasn't sure why he had been assigned a partner for this mission. Drew was used to working alone and he was good at it but that didn't matter because whoever was at the top of the group had thought this act of subterfuge they were planning was a task for two so here he was waiting. This might not work out well of course. Drew wasn't really known for working well with others when he didn't want to but he supposed that it would all depend on who they teamed him up with. Only time would tell but one thing was for sure this was going to be interesting.

Tonight was another night where Leo would go out somewhere to try and cause some form of issue as part of the Usurpers. It was becoming boring to him and he often found the thought of going out with some loser who had daddy or mummy issues quite daunting and emotionally tiring. He couldn’t wait until the Usurpers finally made their moves against the camp and most importantly, the Gods. The son of Kratos could handle it, he just needed his axe. Leo put his hood up and left his cabin, no one would have cared enough to ask because he was always out late in the camp and people knew that he preferred his own company.

He made his way to the forest with his hands buried in his pockets; he spent a lot of nights in the forest, Usurper missions or not. The forest was a nice place for alone time at and especially at night. Leo made it to the meeting spot and saw a small flame, presumably a cigarette. He made his way over to the source of the flame and the silhouette came apparent as a boy. He’d seen him before but that didn’t mean he’d associate himself with him. ”Name’s Leo. Son of Kratos. That’s all you need to know for now.” He said plainly to the boy, wanting more action than words. He didn’t know what the plan was or even what the aim of tonight was but it was always the same.

Drew noticed the approach of the son of Kratos and let him come in silence. He had no idea who this guy was, the Usurpers weren't really known for being talkative or very public about their membership, but he did know the guy's name so when Leo gave it finishing the introduction off with the typical don't ask any questions routine Drew thought it only added to the overly dramatic atmosphere. Still, he guessed he could understand. The less people that knew about you the better. No one knew that better than Drew did himself.

"Drew." He said plainly. If this guy wanted to keep things simple and just get down to business then he could follow along. The sooner they got this done the sooner he could get on with his evening. "I'm guessing no one gave you the run down so I'll fill you in. We need to cause a little trouble with the weapons and armor around camp. Nothing too fancy but enough to make sure no one poses any real threat when the time comes to make our move. I've got something that should poison the ore so that the forges are pumping out swords that will snap like twigs when they are used. It should do the trick and with any luck we can be in and out without running into any trouble."

Leo gave a nod when the other Usurper declared his name, he seemed similar to Leo in the way he acted. This ‘Drew’ guy looked like a man of business and business only. Leo had no doubts that these two would be a good and effective team. ”Got it, sabotage the armoury.” He said as he took a glance around, running a hand through his overhanging hair through his hood. ”What about hiding any weapons? We could sneak out a couple and bury them somewhere just so they are there if we need them.” Leo offered with a shrug, if they hid the weapons it’d give the chance to have hidden weapons for Usurpers around the camp. Weapons that won’t be monitored and only known to the Usurpers. He doubted anyone would notice it if they only took a couple.

Drew took another drag on his cigarette as he listened to the guy respond. At least Leo seemed to be catching on fast. If everything went according to plan it should be a pretty cut and dry mission. Granted they would have to be careful not to get caught but no one should be at the forge at this time of night. However, he wasn't so sure about the guy's suggestion. They didn't need to over complicate things and that might be what they were doing here if they started taking weapons from the armory.

"We need to be careful." He said as he released the held smoke in a long jet. "They might not notice a few weapons here and there but what if they do? We can't risk revealing ourselves too soon and this is a pretty big risk for just a few swords and daggers." He finished and took another drag as he let that sink in. Hopefully this wouldn't end up being a problem but it really made more sense. Stick to the plan and keep things simple for now. No unnecessary risks. "Besides," he said after a moment had past. "It's not like we need them. I don't know about you but I prefer my own weapon over breaking in a new one."
