"I seriously don't know why I ALWAYS get this job." Gaige sighed, tossing garments over her shoulder in search of a fresh shirt for Irish.
"You know, I'm just glad your voice doesn't sound as high pitched and annoying as it does in the game" Irish's comment came from left field. Gaige immediately turned and glared at him, shoving a black t-shirt at his chest. "Hey! I didn't mean any offence!" He said quickly, grabbing the shirt before it fell to the floor.
"Real smooth Irish" Kitty patted him on the shoulder as Gaige turned back to the closet, stuffing clothing back in.
"Well, I may as well wait for the other two before I pack all that away" Gaige sat on the edge of a single bunk, looking at the array of holsters, belts, hats, boots, armour and various other articles they had sorted though. Maya had handed over the job of dressing the new recruits to the Mechromancer, who was enjoying the task until Irish had made a few misinterpreted comments.
She hadn't done much to change Kitty and Montayvas appearance, only handing them each pistol holsters and small satchels in which they could carry more supplies. Montayva had secured her hair back underneath a bandana, and tried to convince Kitty to do the same, but with no success.
"I'll take the bandana, but I'm not wearing my hair up" she said stubbornly.
"But imagine all the blood and guts and dirt you're gonna get in there" Irish tried to persuade her also.
"The bandana will cover most of. I can't wear my hair up. Its too long. It will give me a headache" Kitty turned towards the mirror as she fastened the black bandana over her bright red hair.
"No point arguing with a woman about her hair" came a voice from behind them.
"You guys took your time!" Gaige said as Lilith led two more recruits through the door.
"Wait. There's gonna be five of us now?" Irish said. He eyed the two newest members of their team.
"Yep. The more the merrier" Lilith shrugged, still indifferent on the matter. It was understandable, especially after the scene LiveFree had made upon his arrival which the red haired siren had saved him from.
"Panda!" Montayva squealed, as Panda shuffled forward awkwardly. "What is that funny looking thing on your head?" They all eyed the odd looking beanie atop Pandas head. In true form, it was a black and white Panda head. A dead give away to his identity.
"Well come on in! We haven't got forever you know" Gaige waved at the last member of their team, who was still standing in the doorway.
"Haha, Erick." Irish guessed correctly. "Don't worry man, you won't do worse than me at rubbing her up the wrong way" Irish pointed over his shoulder with his thumb towards the Mechromancer. Erick seemed to be a little starstruck as he laid eyes for the first time on one of his biggest video game crushes. He slowly moved inside as Irish broke his trance, and smiled warmly as he greeted everyone.
"Guys, this is... Weird" he began, referring to their presence on Pandora.
"Oh yeah, we know don't worry" Kitty ushered him forward as Gaige began tossing over more holsters and armour for the boys.
"Ok kiddos, now you are a bit more appropriately dressed lets go and get you geared up, and plugged into the ECHO network" Lilith led them to the top floor of the Crimson Raiders HQ, to the main control room. She waited for them to assemble in front of the map, where Mordecai also stood waiting for them.
"Well, Ladies and..." He paused, eyeing the guys, "...boys. We need to get you hooked up to the ECHO system, so we can prompt you through your missions." He ignored the fowl look that Irish exchanged with Panda and Erick, and continued speaking. "The person I'm about to introduce you to will do her best to help you along the way. She has an eagle eye view of what's going on since we have hacked the Hyperion networks. Now that Angel is no longer, and Jack has been defeated, we have no one to deny us access to the intel that was left behind from Dahl and Huperion. Most of their Data will be outdated, but something tells me you mob are gonna need all the help you can get" Mordecai finished, placing his hands on his hips. His gaze was directed beyond the new recruits, and they turned to see Maya leading a pale skinned woman into the room. As she followed the blue haired siren to the map, Maya spoke
"So Mirror tells me she knows you guys..."
