06: Tryouts! The Brotherhood of Manly (Gender Neutral) Souls has Openings!
[1]
[A public message, posted over the comms.]
"Mechwarrriors of the White Chalice! Champions, Heroes! Those whose hearts yearn to defy all odds to enact Justice!
The Brotherhood of Manly Souls, the greatest of Clans known as the Gurren Brigade, is looking for new recruits! The only requirement for membership is that you strive to do the impossible and kick reason to the curb in the fight for a future you believe in!
To evaluate the qualities of your blazing souls in person, I shall be holding an event tomorrow in the main recreation deck of the Dai-Gurren; what the people of the Earth Sphere call 'Try Outs'.
There will be refreshments!"
[2]
There are indeed refreshments at the tryout. They are tasty.
There is also a large Gurren Brigade flag mounted on a flagpole, like the colors of a boy scout troop. There is a also a table and chair with a sign reading 'Try out here'. The chair is currently unused as Matthew stands on top of the table, gesticulating to a small group of onlookers, among which there seem to be a few Clanners.
"The chief ethos of the Gurren Brigade is to always fight on regardless of the odds against you, to cast aside the whispers of doubt that declare something to to be impossible, and drill through all obstacles in your path, piercing the heavens to create the future that you believe in! This is what the Demon Leader Kamina called 'being a man among men!' Those who–"
One of the Clanners coughs and raises her hand, a twinkle in her eye.
Matthew pauses. "Ah. Mechwarrior Eilena–"
"You keep referring to drills. Why drills? They seem inefficient weapons for a Mech, quiaff?"
Matthew stumbles. "Theoretically, aff. Yet in the hands of–"
"Does your 'Gurren Brigade' have any Getter Machines available for use? I swore an oath to Master Ryouma that I would master all his fighting techniques."
Matthew blinks. "Mechwarrior Chandra! When did you get back?"
"I am glad to see you are achieving your ambitions, Matthew. But why are you talking like someone from a freeborn children's show? And why do you keep referring to this brigade of yours as a 'brotherhood of manly souls'? You have not been contaminated with Spheroid prejudices, quineg?"
"I have not, Tynall! It is simply, well–"
Interject? Apply for a position? Talk to some of the people there?

Matthew finally steps in. "Tynall Vickers...my Trothkin: passion and arrogance are all well and good, but I will tell you here and now the Paragon is one of the finest and most righteous warriors I have ever met: he deserves no contempt from you or any or the Clans."
He raises an outstretched hand to Tynall...to the rest of the Clanners. "And that is what I am offering you all in my invitation to fight with the Gurren Brigade. Not only to gain victory and honor, not only to defend Terra against the fiercest of foes...but to fight alongside great heroes, alongside men and women of destiny steeped in a thousand epics!"
He waves Raynor forward. "And Raynor Joz has fought in brave battles against astounding enemies and for truely astounding causes! Come, my friend! Tell them the tale of your quest for truth and justice!"

[Yeah, that's the virtue of Humility. Seems he'll need some encouragement.]
no subject
"Come, come, Paragon! Do not let them think your deeds worth little to speak of! Tell them of your great battles, lest I attempt it myself and get some details wrong!"
Inspiration!
"Tell the story you told me, of how you acquired the Tome, and with it, your Mech, calling, and goal in life!"
no subject
[Since we've heard all of this once already, is it safe to make Raynor tell it all offscreen? Because that's what he does.]
...And that's how I defeated my first Shadow Knights and joined White Chalice. I fought them a few more times after that, but that's different tales altogether.

Tynall simply stands there for a moment. "That was..."
She looks up, and you can suddenly see a ridiculous amount of moisture brimming in her eyes.
"...The most awesome story I have ever heard in my life!!!!" She declares.

Matthew chuckles and leans back against the table. Eilena smirks quietly from where she is standing.
