Cadet Damian Willow

Global Defence Force cadet, plane spotter and big IR fan He/him, 17

[gdf-cadet-willow]

hi

uh, is this.. yea, it is. Okay, good.

My name's Damian Willow, and I'm 17 years old. I want to join the GDF because I want to protect world peace and serve my country. I want to become a pilot for the GDF Quadjet.

I also like plane spotting in my free time, and I have a cat and a dad back home. I sometimes make art. Mostly of the Thunderbirds. They're so cool, sometimes I wish I could work for them instead... Wait that's not a good thing to say in a job pitch or whatever this is!

A link to the fitness test results should be in here too.

Tags will be, uh...

#willow speaks and #willow answers

that was my uh, job interview.. thingy... Here's to hoping I get hired...

hii hello it's me again @samcat71470558, I made another little guy to pester y'all with xPP.

I'll use the tag #mun posting for anything OOC on here :3

[gdf-cadet-willow]

Heya gang..!

Ik it's been like 20 years since I was here, but I'm back! I was just on some GDF training bootcamp type deal, but I survived (barely) and can go back to posting without the danger of having my phone and head taken away!

If y'all have like any questions for lil' old me... Asks are open yknow xP

[gdf-cadet-willow]

Hey, rookie or whatever your name is .... my memory is slowly being returned.

You probably heard about my 'escape' that I most certainly did NOT plan btw

I know you probably don't have the authority to do this, but .. could you pull a few strings and get me out of the infirmary please?

They're treating me like a pincushion making all kinds of tests galore

I swear I'm fine, it's just a little cough. I'm not about to collapse on anyone

who is this, miss Hayven?

Anyway, uh, I unfortunately don't have the authority for that. Only our licenced medics can decide when patients can be removed from the infirmary, and I... I really amn't a doctor.

I'll see if I can ask around, but I don't think I'll be much help, sorry.

*drops a suspicious package in your desk draw and runs away* spoilers: it's socks

Another one? He's getting out the flamethrower this time.

[gdf-cadet-willow]

captain, should we be concerned? This feels kinda like a bomb threat.

[captainwaynerigby]

Which is why the procedure is to destroy any and all unmarked packages that make their way into GDF facilities.

I don't believe there's cause for concern yet, cadet, but keep your eyes peeled and your wits about you, follow procedure, and everything will be fine.

[gdf-cadet-willow]

got it, sir. I'll keep my eyes peeled for any suspicious packages.

Do you think it's the Hood's work?

[causing-havoc]

Oh great, theres been a flood and the waters gone into the electrics causing a blackout, thank goodness none of us has attempted to escape during this time of crisis.

That should count as being good on my tick list

Right?

Right?

[gdf-cadet-willow]

of course it does, miss Hayven! I'm proud, a few months back you would've taken the opportunity to escape for sure.

I think I can sneak an extra yoghurt cup with your dinner tonight, as a gift. It's not much, but it's something.

[causing-havoc]

So tired of having my old name being bandied about ... it's time to reinvent myself ...

I actually like Hayven, it's an old English name, it is gender neutral although it is commonly known as a female name

It means 'safe place', and I'll try my hardest to ensure that anybody feels safe around me - unless I'm crossed, then I shall unleash my inner beastie ... and that's a very unpleasant character, because it plays dirty

I have a very tight ... extremely small inner circle. Should some folks manage to get within its boundaries, be aware that I'll not hesitate to boot them out.

And getting back in, theres a maze of traps and redirections they have to navigate.

Those who are annoyingly persistent ... will ... very reluctantly be allowed back in, but they'll have an extremely short probation period. As I have very little patience with trivial stuff and fake people

[gdf-cadet-willow]

good on you Havo- Hayven! Good luck with your new life, and even though it sounds mean, I... I hope I never see you again. With my job 'n all, y'know.

Unless you consider me a friend, of course, heh...

[thunderfledgeling]

Um... Hi? (; ´· - ·`)

[gdf-cadet-willow]

welcome back kid!

[causing-havoc]

Not a pity me post - just stating a fact

I suppose that not everyone is willing to see the 'good' in me

I'm repeating something that I've always stuck with

Once a bad girl ... always a bad girl

I've lost count on how many times I've tried to reach out, and just when I hit 'rock bottom', salvation appears ... with strings attached - pun fully intended. A wolf in sheep's clothing basically, who led my brother and I down the wrong path

Urgh

I just wanted a friend, that's all

*sigh*

Signing off for now. So you can all breathe easy, as i won't be bugging your inboxes

Later losers

H

[gdf-cadet-willow]

I do...

I wanna see you become a professional hacker for the GDF, get a home and a life and maybe even a partner outside of who you used to be. You're not bad. You're not a monster, Havoc. You just never got the chance to become good, because fate dragged you and Clarence down the worst path. Every day you get better, every day you get stronger, every day you become more you instead of what everyone tried making you be.

You will get through this, Havoc. I'll help you any way I can, promise.

Because I'm your friend.

[cpt-scarlet-spectrum]

I really do not understand people in general sometimes.

Stopped off to grab a cuppa before my flight back to base and there was a woman haranguing the barista because her mocha-matcha-monstrosity was two degrees too cold and they'd used a half pump of syrup not a three quarter one and she could tell and all this nonsense. How someone's life can be so... I don't know what the word I want is, but to have an overly fussy order seemingly designed to give them an excuse to yell at someone it's just so.... petty.

Un/fortunately I was in uniform so an 'ahem' and my best parade-ground glare was all I could do, but it did the trick.

[gdf-cadet-willow]

I got sent out to a few disputes like this for my training. It made me seriously reconsider becoming an officer.

Yours sounded tame, ours ended up screaming and kicking and spitting like a toddler, getting dragged into a patrol car by the armpits with two rounds of taser in her butt. And you know why?

Because she wasn't allowed to go on a plane while drunk.

Sometimes I seriously lose hope in humanity :/

[doctorspringerspaniel]

Damian nervously walks out of the trees, looking around the open area spreading out in front of him. He's questioning everything, mostly his sanity, while walking over to a big rock in the middle of the clearing. One last quick check of his phone to confirm the place, and then he waits.

It all started that morning, when one of the International Rescue operatives - Becca - had sent him a message about her associate. According to his captain he needed to learn to work with them, and today's the day he'll meet them. Best part, the files don't specify who said associate is. And he's nervous.

A crunch of leaves behind him shakes him up from his thoughts, and he whips around with a hand flying to his weapon, before stopping the motion when he recognises Becca. He sighs, clearing his throat a little before speaking with fake confidence.

"Hi, you must be Becca, right? Sorry for immediately reaching for my guuuUUU- GET DOWN!" In a flash he moves, diving into the woman to get her behind the big rock with his gun drawn. He aims, breaths shaky, as Peregrine slowly walks onto the clearing.

Peregrine - how did such a big, vicious beast get named after a bird? - froze. Pupils pulling back, she snorted, head lowering, wings raised. A deep, rumbling snarl bubbled from her throat.

Those eyes… they were the eyes of a predator, green pools of death. If the grim reaper was real, was there any doubt that he’d look like this?

“Wait!”

The eyes of the dragon were replaced by human ones as Becca finished moving quickly around him. One gloved hand rested atop the barrel of his gun, pressing slowly until it pointed down.

“Damian, it’s okay,” her voice held so much conviction, absolute confidence in the primal creature just yards away. Turning her head slowly, she tipped it slightly as her gaze focused on Peregrine. The dragon lowered her wings, though those pupils remained sharp and feline. “She won’t hurt you. You just startled her.”

Becca rose to her full height - not much beyond the average for 2060 - and smiled, IR blues stark against the clearing.

“Lesson one of dragon handling: try not to startle them.”

[gdf-cadet-willow]

"...L-lesson one of Damian handling... D-don't be so damn quiet..."

Damian pants softly, sliding the gun back into his belt and trying to stop the embarrassing tremble in his hands. He hopes she doesn't notice.

He slowly stands up, a little hunched over but still pretty tall. The height comes with the consequence of making him look like a stick though, with gangly limbs and a still childishly round face. He tries his best to square his jaw, before finally looking back at her and the dragon.

"So, that's the associate I was told about... Is it.. friendly?"

He takes a careful step forwards, hands visible with the palms up. The nervous tremble is back, and he's silently cursing it while taking another small step forwards.

"...I won't hurt you..."

[doctorspringerspaniel]

Becca couldn’t help the amused shake of her head at the “Damian Handling” comment, and stepped aside to let him have some space.

“Associate is a bit of a distant term but yes, she is. And she’s perfectly tolerant so long as you don’t wind her up.”

“Damian, meet Peregrine. Peregrine, meet Damian.”

Peregrine did seem appeased by his slower, hands-free approach, but her eyes lingered on his belt. Clearly displeased by something, she snorted again, stepping back a stride.

The welshwoman came to stand by Damian’s side, and nodded at the gun.

“She knows that’s a weapon. Your approach is excellent but so long as you’ve got something harmful in reach, she’ll be suspicious of you.”

[gdf-cadet-willow]

The cadet nods, taking the gun out and yeeting it away. A slight tremble hangs over his body when he tries again.

"...I... T-the captain's gonna k-kill me if I can't find that l-later..."

His eyes shift over to the welshwoman, a slight sheen of sweat on his brow. A soft noise of discomfort escapes his throat.

"...S-she's... kinda cute..?"

[doctorspringerspaniel]

“Yeah, she is.”

Her eyes lingered on the dragon, which met her gaze and gave a low croon.

“You only need one hand,” Becca gently took hold of his hand, positioning it until it looked as if the palm were pressed against a wall. “Like this. Move slowly, and let her come to you.”

She pulled back, leaving at least three strides of distance. With a nod from the human, it was Peregrine’s turn to approach. Her head was lowered, but her eyes had softened, pupils rounded. This time they held curiosity.

The Night Fury looked even bigger up close, slowly raised her head to sniff his hand. The accompanying exhale ruffled his hair. But after a few moments of contemplation, Peregrine closed her eyes and pressed her head against Damian’s palm, letting skin meet scale.

[gdf-cadet-willow]

Damian gives a scared glance as Becca steps back, but manages to keep decently calm as he quietly observes the dragon. And yet, even with looking at her, he still jolts back when she presses her head against his palm. Both reactions are lightning fast, but Pere wins. Her law clamps down on his arm, her teeth luckily retracting almost immediately, but the damage is done.

He stumbles back when she releases, shaking all over with tears in his eyes as he stares at the dragon. While it doesn't hurt too bad, there's some nasty wounds where Pere's teeth went through his uniform and skin. He's lucky she didn't clamp down harder.

"...M-mh... I..."

[doctorspringerspaniel]

“Peregrine!”

Becca immediately ran forward, glancing at the new holes in the sleeve before turning a scarily teacher-worthy stern gaze at the dragon.

“What did I say about playbites? GDF uniforms aren’t graded to handle them!”

Peregrine lowered her ears, turning her head and looking almost sheepish. A much smaller, softer croon escaped, undoubtedly an apology of some kind.

The welshwoman meanwhile turned to take a hold of Damian’s arm away from the wound, inspecting it with focused eyes.

“Mae'n ddrwg iawn gen i! I’m so sorry, Peregrine’s species like to play bite but her understanding of ‘gentle’ is a bit skewed.”

She sighed, reaching into a pouch of her baldric to produce a first aid kit.

“And it’s something I should’ve warned you about. Anyway, it doesn’t look deep, so you’ll be fine. Her salvia isn’t poisonous either, actually it’s mildly antibiotic.”

[gdf-cadet-willow]

Damian doesn't react, trembling and sniffing harshly as the woman treats his wounds. His shoulders shock slightly, soft gasps and wheezes filling the tense silence.

Only when the wounds are treated does he look back at the dragon, eyes wide and fearful.

"...I... I don't think this is g-gonna work..."

He shakily rubs his eyes, but it does nothing to stop a few tears from rolling down his cheeks. Suddenly he doesn't look like a GDF cadet anymore.

"...Mnh... I... I'll c-call my superiors... I'll report t-that it was my fault, a-and that the training's over... I won't bother you o-or Peregrine anymore..."

[doctorspringerspaniel]

“Hold on.”

She reached a hand out and let it rest on the cadet’s shoulder. Guilt twisted in her gut. God, he was really just a kid, who the hell lets kids out in the field without a more experienced officer? The GDF apparently.

“Look, what happened with Peregrine is my fault, I should’ve had better control of the situation, but it wasn’t aggression. You haven’t bothered either of us, okay?”

Becca inhaled, eyes closed for a moment, then pulled a glove off. She rolled up her sleeve, revealing scars old and new, varying in shape and size.

“If you really don’t want to keep going, I won’t hold that against you. You’re young and to be perfectly honest I was expecting a chaperone to come along with you. But don’t give up before you’ve truly had a chance to try. It can be hard, yes, it can be unpredictable, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.”

“So what do you say? Want to give it another shot?”

[gdf-cadet-willow]

A barely concealed sob escapes Damian's mouth, but he quickly straightens himself out and nods. He subconsciously leans into Becca's touch a little.

"...Okay, I'll... I'll try."

He hates how his hands shake when he rubs his eyes, and he hates that the hand on his shoulder sends a warm shiver down his spine. He shakily holds his hand out again, eyes squeezed shut and head turned away. His voice drops to a strangled whisper.

"...Please... Don't hurt me..."

[doctorspringerspaniel]

There were no teeth this time. Only gentle eyes and a snort ruffling his hair. It seemed, finally, that Peregrine had understood that the person in front of her was vulnerable as any other, and should therefore not be handled with any teeth.

She made a low crooning noise and slowly sat back, tail curled up around her feet like a giant house cat.

Becca slowly walked over to scratch the dragon under her chin.

“Now the two of you are acquainted, I’d say we really get started, what do you say?”

[gdf-cadet-willow]

A small, relieved sob escapes Damian's mouth at that, and immediately he's cursing himself to hell and back for showing vulnerability like that. He quickly rubs his face clean, cheeks a little red.

"...Yea, s-sounds good..."

His voice cracks in the middle of the sentence. Whyyy oh why does this always happen to me-

"I mean, yea. Let's go."

[gdf-cadet-willow]

Hey, Greenhorn, may I suggest gathering a few cadets together to play one heck of a prank on this Willis fella

Who's the biggest prankster in your group? More to the point who's the best at covering their tracks so that nobody will find out?

Example here ... wait until he showers, steal his clothes, turn the thermostat right down to freezing cold

And set the fire drill off

Now THAT would humiliate him, give him a taste of his own medicine

BAHAHAHA

H

at least one of those is illegal, the thermostat is unreachable with our security clearance, and Willis has private showers - as every captain has.

Hiding in a bathroom right now because someone actually took MY clothes, and I'm waiting for a buddy to bring some. Watching a spider trying to climb up onto the door. It's not getting far.

[causing-havoc]

YO! LOSERS! I'M BACK !!!

What did I miss? So ... who's getting into trouble or trying to start trouble?

[gdf-cadet-willow]

I got into trouble because of gay fanfiction on my phone, so I'll play it safe and say you shouldn't cause trouble. Don't wanna roll into jail again, right?

[deepseasquidbro]

Uh, I do believe reading is allowed during your breaks right? At least that's how it was in WASP. As long as you're not getting distracted from your duties or doing recreational activities on the clock then I don't see what the problem is.

Sounds like whatever officer you're under has some sort of power trip going on.

[gdf-cadet-willow]

His name's Willis, but even with help from Spectrum and superiors we can't get him away from me :(

He's weird and old and randomly steals stuff from rookies just because he can.

And no, I only read/wrote it during breaks, and during downtime when another superior gave me permission to do something for myself. I'd never be so stupid as to do that on the clock.

Also @causing-havoc, that's great! I'm glad you're doing your best to get better!

[causing-havoc]

@gdf-cadet-willow , I've had a word with my prison officers, they're surprisingly nice ... if you don't try to seriously suck up to them ... and ... they're VERY familiar with Willis and his antics

Apparently, it's standard procedure to go through GDF training before making a career choice .... and they're only too happy to make his acquaintance

Apparently, his reputation precedes him

[deepseasquidbro]

*sigh*

@gdf-cadet-willow Damien, what your officer is doing is an abuse of power and he can be court martialed for that. You and your buddies need to speak with one of your higher ranking officers about what this guy is doing. If it'll help I can get Scott or Dad or Penny to get in contact with Col Casey about this.

[gdf-cadet-willow]

we try, but he's too good at wiping his evidence, any time we report him he just finds a way to become innocent. It's just not possible :(

if mister Tracy and Scott and lady Penelope could help, we'd appreciate it. We can't stop him.

[deepseasquidbro]

@scramjettracy @zero-xlent @socialitesleuth Any of you interested in tackling this case for our friend here?

[zero-xlent]

Willis you say?

@gdf-cadet-willow What do you need, sonny?

[gdf-cadet-willow]

S-sonny..? Nobody's ever called me that... Uh...

I need backup and help. Willis keeps stealing and lying and being really really weird but we can't make him stop. Nobody believes me. And he just keeps doing it to all the cadets...

[zero-xlent]

Well don’t you worry, because we believe you.

I’ll have a word personally with Colonel Casey. And if that isn’t enough to speed things along then I’ll be happy to remind them just how much of their space division relies on Tracy Industries technology. Maybe call up a few old friends who lend a hand in supplying their other branches and fill them in on the situation. The more pressure to do something, the better.

In the meantime, I want you to document everything you can. Get testimony from other cadets. If this is happening in your group, it could just be the surface of something bigger.

The Global Defence Force is meant to keep humanity safe. If it can’t even look after its own cadets, we have a real problem.

[gdf-cadet-willow]

I will, sir. You can count on me. Anything to keep my friends safe from that monster that calls himself an officer. A captain even.

I'm glad at least you believe me, sir. He really sucks.

Do you think your sons would mind if I forcefully made you adopt me- WHO SAID THAT???

[zero-xlent]

Atta boy, sport. Now you make sure you take care of yourself, okay?

If I had my way that man wouldn’t be in the force to begin with, let alone handling recruits.

With any luck, he won’t be much longer.

And remember: go for the eyes 😌

What was that-?

[gdf-cadet-willow]

will do, sir. And the balls.

NOTHING NOTHING IT WAS NOTHING I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING I-ITS NOTHING I PROMISE IT'S NOTHING-
