Vanessa regarded the kid with a curious expression, a grin apparent on her face. "'Here' is Dimensional Island, a nexus located in between all kinds of dimensions. Likely enough, you probably stumbled across a portal during this job of yours and found yourself here."
She sighed. "Me and Ezio are no different really. We had our own homeworlds before we ended up here."

Ezio nodded. "The Templars are originally from my world, though it seems they arrived here before I did. That is why... I am trying to establish a branch of the Assassin Order here, to combat the Templars."
He gave a wry smirk. "We are accepting applications, if you are interested. The liberation of the Dimensional Island has begun."

Artemis gave a smirk.
"I have experience in assassination and getting intel if it is needed," she offered politely. "My only question is what weaponry does your order use?"
Out of one job and into another.
Maybe this might turn into something permanent Artemis thought as she offered a hand to Ezio.

"If sir Ezio is any indication, we tend to use the blades in his gauntlets..." She shrugged. "However, we have yet to meet a blacksmith who can forge us said weapons." As she said this, she motioned to a sword sheath on her back. "Until then, I've been settling for my trusty katana whenever I get in a fight. Though I can fight hand to hand with people if I need to."
Vanessa was quick to hide the katana from view once more. "Anyways, looks like we're going to have a new recruit for the assassin order. Pretty sweet. You certainly look the kind for such a job Cres." She shrugged, her tail swishing back and forth under her assassin robe.

Ezio shook Crescent's hand. "Bene. Now all we need to do is have you do the Leap of Faith. Thankfully, we're not far from the location. I'll see what I can do about getting you the proper robes. Vanessa, if you'd lead the way?"

She nodded to Vanessa's answer and looked again to Ezio.
"Leap of Faith?" Artemis asked as she took back her hand. "May I inquire as to what type of feat this is?"
Other questions started to bubble in her mind but the one that really stuck out was SHIT!! They're going to find out I'm not a guy!!!!! out of all of them. The surface seemed calm but the real danger was brewing underneath.

At Ezio's request, Vanessa grinned a bit before motioning to Crescent to follow her. "Leap of Faith huh? Cool. It's been a while since I had to do that... Hey Cres? How good are you at climbing? We're gonna be doing some climbing to get where we're going."
At Crescent's likely question, Vanessa lead the mercenary out of the alleyway and motioned to Void City's tallest sky-scraper. "We're gonna be going there. Up at the tip top where those gargoyles are. Think you can climb up there?"

Ezio followed behind, though something about how Crescent walked caught his eye. "...Also, Miss Crescent, I do apologize but we of the Order do have to be at least somewhat honest with each other. Why were you hiding your gender?"

"I'm decent at climbing and I bet I could," she answered with a smirk.
As the words 'hiding your gender' reached her ears Artemis flushed bright red. Then again Ezio had called her Miss Crescent.
"Easier for me to masquerade as someone I'm not when it comes to my work," she answered still using the guys voice unintentionally the smirk faded quickly. "But how did you figure it out?"

When Vanessa heard Ezio call Crescent MISS Crescent, she quickly turned back to the two with a confused expression. "Hold on... Miss?" She looked to Ezio and then Crescent. She wanted to comment on Ezio's commentary... However that was when she remembered Ezio's eagle-eye, and how he usually turned out to be correct in matters such as this.
"Wait so... You're a girl?" She had to admit, she was a little surprised she hadn't noticed this. When Crescent explained her reasons however... She had to admit, it actually made a lot of sense. She remembered once upon a time how girl's were given hell for that, what with all of that 'women are less then men' bullshit happening before the labrynth appeared below her world. "Hmmm... Yeah.... That makes sense." Vanessa let out a groan and gave Crescent a sympathetic look... "Trust me, my world isn't too far off from that either. That stupid thought frame stopped only recently you see... Lucky for me since I had graduated out of the Particus Academy by that time."

Ezio nodded. "I suppose I can understand that... well, our Order has never really been partial to either gender or race, for that matter. Our goal is too important for petty differences to get in the way. As for your question... I saw how you walked. Women tend to have more motion in their hips than men when they walk. You did very well in disguising it, though."
Ezio continued to walk. "Now then, it is good that you can climb... it is a useful skill for Assassins to have." He gave them a wry smirk, his youthful competitive edge coming out. "Think you can beat the old master in a race?" He laughed, sprinting towards the skyscraper.

Artemis nodded in response to Vanessa's question. She was still slightly annoyed with Ezio but trying not to let him see it was another matter.
"Oh you're on!" Artemis laughed letting her natural voice actually show before bolting and being a few paces behind Ezio. "Fast escapes and even faster entrances." Most of her speed was coming from her annoyance with the older assassin.
Her actual voice seemed to be only an octave or two higher than the male voice she had been using.

As soon as Ezio had called out that offer to a race, Vanessa was off after him as well. She easily kept up with Ezio, and kept ahead of Crescent. Being part cat helped with that. "Hahahaha! Let's just hope your a 'fast climber' Cres!"
The group reached the skyscraper within a few minutes, with Ezio leading the charge, Vanessa and Crescent right behind him. When the old assassin started up the building, the two were right behind him. Vanessa excelled due to her cat like agility. "See you at the top!"

Ezio continued climbing up the skyscraper, only focusing on the goal ahead of him; he may be older but he'd be damned if he let a couple new recruits best him; when it came to the Order and free running, he was simply the best there was. Perhaps someday that title would pass, but he didn't plan for it to be today. Ezio continued climbing faster until he reached the top, where he waited for the other two.

"No more like see you two up there," Artemis called before she started her ascent.
Both of the assassins had an edge on her by having done this before but she smirked as she barely caught up with Vanessa. Her mind was set on one thing and it was just getting to the top. No one said she couldn't have a little fun.
Jumping from one ledge to another and occasionally flipping up to the next. Why so serious? You've not had any fun outside the hits for work when you play cat and mouse with the target, since you were 17 and before all the shit hit the fan, she added mentally with another smirk.
