(What's the scene though? Are they all students? Did they meet because they started working at the same place? Emerson and Bellamy are friends but what about Indigo and Allegra? How did they meet each other? I think it'll be easier to start with a basic scene)

@Becfromthedead group

(I think Allegra is maybe already an assassin or in a similar line of work, but I can always give her a part time job or have a target put on someone’s back, whether it be a friend of one of your characters or the character themself.)

@ShadeStar

(Indigo would probably be working at the guild already so if the characters work there already that's how she would know them? She doesn't talk a lot or have friends so those options are out of the question.)

@StarkSpangledMayflower_Mad_Elder

(Since both your characters already work there, I think Emerson will be a part of the group that sells weapons to the guild. A few members of the guild taught her some basic defensive manoeuvres so she comes and trains every time she makes a delivery)

@Fantasy-Illy!

(Uriah's Dad is still the director of the weapon company (Which I need to find a name for) would you want to have Emerson work there? It would be a good excuse for Bellamy and.. The dad will be William. To meet.)

@StarkSpangledMayflower_Mad_Elder

It was humid outside and Emerson hated it. She was just checking with the director to make sure that the next weapons shipment to the assassins guild was perfect. Her classes finished early today and she had a spare period so she decided to come to the (workshop?).

"Ready to go?" A voice asked. Emerson looked up to see a manager smiling at her. "As I'll ever be." She responded and hopped in the delivery car. A short drive later, she arrived at the tall dark building and was let in.

@ShadeStar

Indigo had left school early having a free period at the end of the day for her senior capstone project. She had returned to the guild and was hiding out in an unused corner in the training room since she technically wasn't supposed to be back yet. But Indi couldn't stay another minute at the school where it felt like everyone was giving her a funny look. Hiding out in here made her feel a lot better even if she knew the peace would be broken soon enough when the other students returned from school.

Allegra was taking a break from her training. Her crossbow was still in hand, but unloaded. She took a few sips from her water bottle and hooked it back to her belt, put her weapon down, and did a few stretches, to make sure she was still fully mobile and limber.
Her gaze wandered to Indi in the corner, and she gave a quick wave.

The building looked strange from the outside but was fairly modern inside. Emerson was glad that they had cooling inside because any second longer and she would melt. The path to the weaponry was a fairly short one but because of how often Emerson was there, she would normally stop by the training room and practise, which was exactly what she was going to do.

The person in charge of taking the weapons and making sure everything was there, was excited about the new designs. Emerson couldn't blame him, the new designs was amazing. Once he finished inventory, he have Emerson a go ahead and she walked to the gym.

Back at the shop, she was wondering why she decided to wear a loose tank top with a jacket and leggings, but here she was glad she chose something a little flexible. Emerson walked inside and went to grab a few simple warm up equipment and found a fairly empty place where only two other girls were practicing, so she did the logical thing and ignored them. Why bother talking to someone you don't know?

@ShadeStar

Indigo gave Allegra a light wave before starting to pack up her things so she could go back to her dorm room, but then a new girl entered the training room. Indi was stuck now, she couldn't just leave with someone near the entrance especially someone she didn't know. Letting out a quiet sigh Indi stayed in her corner and pulled out her twin blades to go through her forms. She really needed to work on that and she didn't have to move.

@Fantasy-Illy!

(Sorry, I'm usually busy on Sunday's and can't answer.)
Bellamy waited in the gym for her friend. She knew Emerson's schedule pretty well. Playing with her knife, Bella smiled thinking about her friend. When the door of the gym opened Bella stood and ran over to Emerson. "Emmie!" Bella shouted and jumped into her arms. "I hate when you go to work. I get so lonely."
(Sorry it's short, I wasn't entirely sure what to write.)

@StarkSpangledMayflower_Mad_Elder

The impact allowed Emerson and the mats in the training room to become more familiar. She groaned when she raised who knocked her down. "Bella, will there ever be a day you don't attack me upon seeing me?" She asked with a laugh. She pushed her friend off of her and stood up, reaching a hand down to help her. "The new weapons designs are so cool! I really wanted a set of the purple knives but my.boss said no." She pouted, taking out a knife and spinning it before throwing it at a target. It was way off centre. Emerson groaned before running to retrieve it, grumbling about not getting it right after all this time. "Help me?" She said, gesturing to the target and looking at Bella.

For a few moments, Allegra found herself staring at Emerson. It wasn't a hard stare- just a curious one. She could have sworn she'd seen the girl around before, but she didn't know her, and she knew everybody in the guild. Yet, Bellamy seemed to know her, and probably pretty well, just judging by their interaction.
She continued her stretches, and also went through practicing a few stances and such, carefully paying attention to the conversation, to see if she could gather who exactly Emerson was.
