Ben's alarm clock went off at the usual 5:15. The beep didn't have time to ring in his ears, as he slapped the devilish contraption before it could sound twice.
Up now He thought. Up, you lazy sack of ass! mmm...my inner monologue is getting vicious he muttered as he stood up gingerly and stubled over to the dresser, opening the drawer not to find his socks, but the two blades he had been given in a dream, months before, laid beside some old cargo shorts, a ratty beater, and a navy blue bandana. Now my mom is getting crazy No, not your mother. The voice returned to him Put it all on. Light shoes, and walk out your front door, your abilities are needed now. Fast forward 2 minutes... He opened the front door and got a blast of hot air, with stinging bits of sand interspersed, and stepped through. He found himself in the middle of the desert, with the same people he had met that same dream. Don't think we've met...I'm Ben.

Mark looked around, then towards Ben, the first one to talk. "Ah yes... You were from the dream..." He looked towads the others, "You all were. Oh god..." He rubbed his forehead, "I'm dreaming again." He raised his head up, "Let me guess... Force is out now, and you have all been summoned to fight it, using mystic powers and weapons?" That's when the hammer tilted and dropped on his foot, "AH!!" He pulled his foot from under it, leaping up and down on the good one. After a moment of hopping, He glanced at the team, "Guess this isn't a dream."
One step foward, he looked toward either side of him and found desert in all directions. "Great. We're stuck in the middle of a swealtering place." He took one more look at the group, "and I take it you guys prepared for it?" Stupid Petra "Anyway, Let's get a move on. Maybe there's town somewhere up ahead. By the way, you guys can call me Mark." And he started walking foward.

"I am a little. Aslo, I'm Alexendria, though you can call me Alex for short." Alex said. Then she relized something. "I don't suppose none of you can speak Iraqi or whatever language they talk here?"

Looks around at the people gathered and smiles softly. "Hello my name is Gerado(it's pronounced Zair Rah Dough strange eh?) it's a pleasure to finally meet you all." He offers a handshake for all there.

Good to meet you all...and yeah, The "warp gate in my door" thing was a bit strange. I didn't even get to eat. If we find a town, I'll see if I can get us a bit of whatever we need. One of my dad's friends from the Marines is a higher-up at the DLI (Defense Language Institute). I got a few private arabic lessons.
ooc: True story!

Mark nodded at everyone's names. "All right... good. We've been introduced, and we are all real people... Meaning that this is not a dream." He sighed. Something caught his eye, something far off in the distance. He had to squint his eyes to see what it was, but saw something that looked like buildings. There was a town not far up ahead. "Hey... what luck! There's a town not far from here..." He adjusted his collar, "Maybe we can get some water and find out where we are." He turned to Ben, "Ben... right? You're the one with the language? Good, It'll come in handy. Very handy." As the town grew closer, the people soon got a view of the soldiers themselves.
Most of them gave the newcomers strange, or dirty looks. Especially the woman of the village. It was hard to tell under their covered heads, but they looked like they were looking at them. Mark stopped by a vendor, "Hello..." The vendor said something in a strange language. "Right... Where are we?" Vendor held up something that looked like a fruit and just started off talking. Mark shook his head, "Perfect... I have no idea what he's saying." He looked up and down the streets, "Isn't there anyonne here that speaks English?" His sight turned towards Ben, "All right... see what information you can get from him..." OOC: I pass the ball to your court. I'm not good in languages... just math and science.

His eyes darted around looking at all the sites around him. "Mmmmiddle east if I am not mistaken." He slipped on his metal gauntlets and just kept his eyes open as he stayed near the group.

"You know, I'm not really liking the looks they're giving me and Ariella." Alex said, as a few men gave them dirty looks.

He gave the men passing by a dark look. "Ladies, be on guard. You are second class citizens here and don't do anything to rash. We don't need more trouble then we have to have." He moved closer toward the females in the group his back to them as he looked around,
