Albert O'Connor rode his bicycle toward the post office. His Volunteer uniform beneath a coat his mother had made. His rifle was slung over his shoulder, but no passerby seemed to mind. They think we’re the King’s soldiers! He grin broke out. He laid his bicycle with the rest and went inside.

A man was sitting on a bench inside.He lowered his news paper and raised his cap slightly.It was Rory Kinsella.

Good he thought The rising will begin soon.Once the chess pieces are in position.

He gave the Sergent a cheery wave.

Rory rolled his eyes.Lets hope he dosn't draw too much attention.

"Over here lad"he said calmly."Sit down beside yer' old uncle"

he nodded.

Rory cast a quick glance around.Then leaned close to whiper in a hushed voice.

"Where are the rest of them?Are they scheduled to arrive?"

"They'll be round in a minute," he said.

"Ok good."Rory regarded the boy and sighed."You can still get out of this lad.The chances of success are slim.We will be totally outnumbered by the enemy.We are making a point here,I'm sure success is a secondary option.This is a blood sacrifice."

(Don't think a real IV would be so gloomy..)

"I'd rather die than have the Union Jack fly another day, so I would!"

((They werent all flag waving extremly zealous people.Some gave a realistic assessment.They knew victory was highly unlikely but that the rising would be used for future generations to rise up))

Rory clapped him on the shoulder."Thats what I want to hear."He grinned."For Ireland my friend"

He gave a smile. “A free Ireland,” he said dreamily.

He smiled wryly"Don't worry boy.It will be free one day and if we fight bravely and give no quarter-we could have it within the week"

Albert gave a chuckle. More byscles appeared.

"Here come the cavalry"Rory said,his eyes lit up.

(Member two spaces after a period..)

He began humming A Soldier's Song

((Two spaces after a period? O.o))

(Yup, basic English.

He felt the crouge to sing aloud.

"Seo dhibh a cháirde duan Óglaigh Cathréimeach briomhar ceolmhar Ár dtinte cnámh go buacach táid 'S an spéir go min réaltogach Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo 'S go tiúnmhar glé roimh thíocht do'n ló Fé chiúnas chaomh na hoiche ar seol Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann

People wached as they walked by

"Shut up you damn fool!"He hissed." Do you want everyone to know its starting!?"

His ears turned pink and quitted.

"At least we know your ready for this"he smiled.

"What now?"

(Is he really his Uncle or is that just a phrase?)

((That was just a cover not to draw suspision:) ))

"Well,I think we greet the lads"he said with a smirk."Lets do this"

((Gotta go see ya))

He nodded and stood.

John Shern entered into the main area of the building.Guessing the other two men who were now watching him were to be his brothers-in-arms he smiled.

"The names John Shern"he said cheerfully.His polite tone evident along with his good manners.He lowered his voice then"Some lads and I have arrived."he grinned.

Albert gave a nod.

((Dang gotta go.You can make characters there to add to the people joining the fight.))

"And here are some of the other fellows joining us."

He took them all in.

Captain James Byrne rode into the GPO and came toward his men. He said in a low whisper. “I’ve got our assignment, were to be spread out as snipers mostly and some down at Kelly’s..”

Rory strode over purposefully to James and inclined his head."You've arrived Captain.It is good to see you"
