(Sounds good!)

Belladonna hummed as she glances around the house one last time. Last night had certainly been interesting. She glances over at Orion. "You ready to go?" She asks cheerfully as she slings her katana over her shoulder. She looked rather relaxed, keys in hand. She had already changed, but she was wearing her usual jacket.

Orion looks at Belladonna and smiles widely, adjusting their backpack slightly with one hand, suitcase in the other. The suitcase was most likely filled with cloths, and a few of their binders, and the backpack had some waterbottles, their phone, and a journal. "Yea I am"

Belladonna smiles warmly at Orion. "Alrighty then! Here, I'll take your stuff." She gently grabs the bags and places them in the back of the car, letting Orion decide what to do with their back pack. "Go ahead and get comfortable." She hummed quietly after making sure everything was secured before walking to the drivers seat and settling in. "It's about a 4 hour drive from here back to one of the bases." She hummed. "But we need to get you to HQ."

"Alright" the nod and smile, opening the passengers seat door and getting in,closing the door and holding their backpack in their lap. They were a bit excited, but obviously very nervous- they glance at Belladonna and smile at her, before looking away and buckling themselves up

She buckles up as well before she starts the car and hums quietly in content. "Alright. Time to go then." She pulls out onto the street and onto the road. "You should probably rest, or at least make sure that you're prepared. The Order of Wisteria is no joke."

"Got it" they gun and rests their head against the window, looking outside and at their house for one final time. They were ready for this, this new chapter in their life, they would happily step into it.

She nods and smiles softly. "Alright then." She hummed along with the radio, her eyes scanning the road a little bit as she did so. She sighed deeply. "So… what do you want to know?" She asks curiously.

"Hmm.." Orion hums in thought and shivers, picking at their fingernails as they think. They eventually look at Belladonna again and tilt their head. "How long has..the Order been going on? I imagine it's been on for a while?"

She hummed at that, a small smile on her lips. "The Order of Wisteria started centuries ago. Wherever demons and creatures of the night went, the Order of Wisteria followed. Some family lines can actually trace back to the founders. Usually those families receive a tattoo of a wisteria marking their bloodline." She leans back in her chair slightly, "Of course, the Order of Wisteria always keeps an eye out for recruits and people that might want to join. Those who have lost their families, or witnessed something of the sort usually join the most. Our ranks are all over the world."

"Huh..interesting" they blink a few times and shiver, glancing at Belladonnas smile for a bit- it was pretty- "What exactly do new people in the Order do?" They blink and watch her for a bit before glancing out of the window again

She nods at the others words. "New people in the order are usually given an orientation, then they receive a booklet with monsters and information regarding how to beat them and their feeding habits. Then you chose a weapon, trained for a few weeks, and then assigned a partner. Usually someone more experienced so you learn from them." She shrugged. "Then you choose to go on your own or keep a partner."

"Alright.." they hum in response and watch buildings and houses go by outside the car, leaning against the window and shivering a bit. Some part of them hoped that Belladonna was the partner that they were assigned, probably because they wanted to get to know her better. It would be nice to have her as a friend

"Are you cold?" She asks quietly, her eyes softening as she risks a quick glance over at Orion. "I know that this is a lot to take in." She smiles softly, turning down the radio slightly so that she could focus more on Orion at the moment. She knew that it was often hard to figure out things that were going on.

"I guess..yeah" Orion sighs a bit and glances back over at her, offering a smile. ""It's alright, I'll be ok" they hum before looking back out the window again, still smiling- they enjoyed talking to Belladonna, even if they bad just met

She nods gently, her eyes soft. "It'll be okay. I can't promise anything, but I'm sure you'll be fine. After all, you tried to take a monster on with a baseball bat. You're tough." She chuckled, "Not even I was that brave when I took on my first beast… you never really forget your first experience." She shrugged as she popped a piece of gum into her mouth.

Orion smiles somewhat widely at that, I mean who doesn't like being complimented- "Mm..thank you, that means alot to me" they hum and shiver, yawning softly. They had stayed up..pretty late last night, they were honestly too excited/nervous to fall asleep easily. But now they didn't want to fall asleep, they just wanted to keep talking to Belladonna-

She nods before glancing at the other again. She chuckles a little and grabs a blanket from the back, kind of guessing where it was before tossing it over the other when she grabbed hold of it. "Rest. We've got a little more than two hours before we get to the agency. Trust me when I say you'll want to be as alert and prepared as possible." She hummed as she taps her fingers along to the beat. "We'll stop for some food before we enter HQ though."

Orion was a bit surprised from the blanket, but accepts it gratefully and pulls if over themselves better. "Alright..I'll probably take a nap then, didn't sleep much last night. Was kindof hard to-" they laugh a bit and pull their legs up onto the seat, still dangling their feet off the edge though since they didn't want to get the seat dirty from their shoes

She nods a little bit in understanding. "It's always hard to sleep." She hummed quietly, "Especially before orientation." She chuckles before sighing deeply. "Or at least try to relax, okay?" She turned the radio onto something more relaxing and hummed along with it, her eyes scanning the road casually.
