David sat within an inner courtyard on Marine ford, cutting away on a cube of wood with his pocket knife. The courtyard was not fully open, instead surrounded on three sides by rows of buildings that David sat head and shoulders above. Should David of stood, they would of gone up to his waist. David had not been on the island for long, only coming onto the island that morning accompanied by the woman who had found him on Drum island and recruited him into the Marines. The woman he had come to find out, was named
Rear Admiral Kimberly Andrew Gravers. Or Kim as she had him call her, something David wasn't quite sure why she had wanted him to do so, since Kimberly was a nice sounding name. But he was not one to deny a friend's request.
Kim had gone inside to talk to his apparent instructor who was to decide how he would be trained. David wasn't exactly sure what he was supposed to learn, considering he was as large as he was he doubted he could fit into whatever space they were using to instruct other recruits. But then again, David did not understand the ways of the Marines so he simply put his faith in Kim. He only assumed she had a plan for his instructor.
----------------------------
Kimberly had left her newest prospect, David "The Goliath" as the people of Drum called him, outside to await for her to speak with his instructor. The big guy had some serious potential, having seen him sink two Pirate ships that was attacking her damaged ship as if it was nothing. She didn't know what the hell had sunk the two, but the Village she had docked at had been all to happy to tell her about the Island's apparent protector. Having protected the island for close to fifty years, and never missed a single shot. Truth be told she was scared shitless when she had thought what would of happened if he had started attacking the Marines. So Kimberly climbed the god forsaken mountain David called home, and even then she was still taken aback by what she found. A giant surrounded by wooden carvings, with a massive bow at his side, with a wall of arrows surrounding him as well. It was simply something to see. She did however manage to recruit him and a few weeks later here they were... Now if only she could get him trained as smoothly.
Kimberly had first sought out the normal instructor for human sized recruits, however when she turned a corner and saw a man follow two women into the female bath, she was reasonably pissed. So after kicking the guys ass out of their, and getting even madder at being called a Hag, she actually learned the story from the two other women who turned out to be ex slaves. She helped them shower before leaving them with their apparent guardian before going off to search for the instructor. While she didn't succeed there, she did find Black Bull and the Admiral talking about Ensigns. The first thing she did after hearing the boys name is demand he cooks the lunch for todays meal, to which she got permission for after a bit of arguing.
Sitting down into a chair, she would relax back into it before digging around in her pocket for her pack of cigarettes and her lighter which she would bring out with one hand. Her index and thumb bringing out her Cigarette pack, and her middle and ring finger bringing out her lighter. Sticking a Cigarette into her mouth, she would light it before returning her two items to her Officer's coat pocket before taking a drag. Taking one nice and slow, she would blow the smoke into the air before saying to Black Bull and the Admiral her own two cents. "I got a new recruit that will blow the others out of the water, literally." Black Bull Curious about what gave "Mad Dog" Kimberly such a smug look on her face, and how he could smack it off her. "Oh? What, you find some new protegee that trained for ten years to lift rocks with his mind? Haha!" Black Bull would respond with a mocking tone. The Admiral simply looked on with a raised eye brow, waiting for Kimberly to continue on with what she was saying. "Oh I got something better then that, "Black Bull". I got myself a giant." Kimberly responded with a look of triumph when Bull put on a look of disbelief. "And not just any giant, I got one who could sink a pirate ship a few hundred meters out like its nothing special." Kimberly would say, a wicked smirk on her face as he leans her elbows on the table, taking in Black Bulls face. "Oh? If thats the case then perhaps we could test this giant to see if its true." The Admiral would say, looking Kimberly in the eye. "It'll be a good experience for the rest of the recruits. On why not to anger giants." The Admiral would say standing up, to go and address the instructor on the slight change of schedule.
Kimberly watched as the Admiral walked off with a bit of excitement on her face, before turning to Black Bull. "Hundred Beli Hydro shits himself when he realizes he gets to teach a giant." Kimberly would say with a mischievous look in her eye. "Heh, Deal." Black Bull would say smacking her hand, as they both got up and went after the Admiral to watch as he broke the news.
