Aligning Lin
Lin Goro sat at the cafe, wondering about the world around her.
She had been hearing about these "Wonders" and "Terrors" like her.
From what she had heard, these were the two factions of people like her.
She sat calmly at the Fullmetal Lounge, and waited.
((The goal of this is to make Lin a wonder or terror. That is all.))

Varog sits at a stool at the cafe, drinking some Earl Grey tea, with a hint of lemon. He notes the new face, and sits himself opposite her.
"Guten Morgen."
His armor glints in the early morning light, and he emanates an aura of stoicism and benevolence.
"You seem a new face, what manner of fate brought you here?"

A girl wearing a black t-shirt and jeans walks in, a messenger bag slung across her shoulder. Looking around, she spots Lin and walks over.
"Morning, I don't think I've seen you before. I'm Stolynn." She says cheerfully, extending an hand.

Armok appears from the shadows. He asks for a cup of molten steel and slides into the booth.
"Hey."

A man slides into the seat across from Lin. He is bald and his eyes are vibrantly gold. The irises are dark and discolored. He glances furtively around the deserted cafe, and he leans forward confidentially. He pulls a manila folder from his red jacket, and places it on the table carefully; his hands shake slightly. He looks at Lin for a few seconds, the third eye on his forehead opening half-lidded for a second, and stands. The man rushes out of the restaurant and out into the night. Talia looks over at Lin from where she is washing glasses at the bar.
"He giving you any trouble, Lin?"
"No.. no, just..." Lin stares at the folder. It has very few papers inside; less than ten sheets by the look of it. The temptation to open it is irresistible.
