Character Meet and Greet~~ At Night

[smk_mods]

Rules | FAQ | Premise | Applications


I. Main Street Usa!

It's twilight, edging to evening, and yet the streets are still alive with citizens and Apprentices (that means you!) alike. Take the time to admire the lights, pop in and out of the cafes or just relax in the garden.

Weapon shops and magic shops are open late into the evening this time of year, so feel free to enjoy yourself before you equip yourself for the life head.


II. Apprentice Training 101- Evening Class

Same commons behind the fire house, same weapons and wands available for practicing your skills-- though this time under the cozy street lights and the bright blues and tired purples of a fading summer twilight. Strike at the training dummy or try to catch fireflies with whispers, its all up to you.


III. Things that Go Bump

Are bumping. And they mean business. A few level 1 corroded monsters are scurrying around Main Street causing havoc and it's up to you to stop them. The question is, is it early in the evening or do you dare to face the creatures at the night's darkest hour?


IV. It's time to Sparkle!

Everyone has a spark of imagination. That is, in fact, why you're here! It's time to shine with your own scenario! Just try to keep from causing too much trouble.

"That's pretty vague, but okay, I'll see if I can narrow it down. There's classes, which is really weird? Um there's toy, fairy, monster, princess, mystic, warrior, hero, I might be forgetting one or two. That determines who your teacher is though, and how your magic works. And the book in your apartment explains it better. Oh but monster is what I am, and it's elemental and so is fairy, so Hades is our teacher, and he likes to just throw monsters at us with no explanation," a grin, "It's fun."

What else?

"Jobs suck, and all require wearing a shirt. Crowley sucked at horses, so he did candy, and the old guy that talks to horses took over for him instead. Lydia likes princess classes because she can use insects like a southbird so that's cool. Oh and you don't have to be royalty or a monster or fairy before, it's still part of this universe."

Ace hummed, trying to think of what exactly he'd learned so far. "Oh, and lots of people know about hell, so that's weird, but only one other person was dead like me."

[originaldragoon]

She heard about the classes, but she really didn't get them. Especially since there were classes that seemed to be based on what you are, like monster and fairy. Did you turn into those creatures if you become one of those classes? The man in front of her said he was in the monster class, but he seemed normal to her. Then again, the history of her world only knew her as a monster...

She arches a brow at the mention of him being dead. At first she thought she was in a afterlife, since she arrived here just after she died, but was reassured that wasn't the case. "Make that two other people."

"And you do not like the jobs because they require you to wear clothes?"

[ace_of_hearts]

"Oh hey, welcome to the afterlife. It's not good, but it's not torture," thumbs up. A beat. "I'm probably the worst welcoming committee, even worse than Pain and Panic," hey at least he is self aware?

"Yeah, and they're dumb. And I'm narcoleptic. And most of them can't handle that. But I promised Lydia I wouldn't give up complete and I'd keep my eyes open if anything fun comes up." He put the axe down and smacked a fist into his hand. "Like butcher!! Or griller!! Or setting forest fires!" What.

[originaldragoon]

"That is an understatement..." She's not so sure about the torture part. Maybe all this insanity is Soa's idea of torture for her.

She arches a brow again. "Do you not mean putting out forest fires?"

[ace_of_hearts]

Ace tilted his head to the side. "Why would anyone put a fire out?"

Silly Rose. This must be some other world custom. Like not greeting people with giant axes to the face.

[originaldragoon]

"Because fires causes a lot of damage." Great... She's talking with a pyro.

[ace_of_hearts]

"Yeah! That's what makes them great!"

Oh Rose, you have no idea.

[originaldragoon]

"Lovely... I am talking to a madman..." And she goes to try and walk away.

[ace_of_hearts]

"Well, that's just rude," Ace politely moves aside. "I mean, you're not wrong, but still rude!"

[originaldragoon]

"At least you admit it." She turns back to him even though she has moved some distance away now.

"And do you not think that it was rude of you to attack me at first sight?"

[ace_of_hearts]

"No! It's a traditional greeting where I'm from!" he's not even lying completely! "I didn't swing hard enough I couldn't have caught it if you didn't deflect. Where I'm from, it would have been a lot ruder to simply assume that you don't know how to use your sword and just wear it as a decoration or to scare off idiots."

[originaldragoon]

"Somehow, I find that really hard to believe." How can trying to kill someone be a greeting?

"Does that mean you would do the same thing to an innocent child if they had a toy sword with them?"

[ace_of_hearts]

"Nooooo," in a clearly don't-be-ridiculous tone of voice.

"Only a child with a real sword!" obviously.

[originaldragoon]

"Oh for Soa's sake..." She rubs her temples like he is starting to give her a headache. Which he is.

"Are you always so ridiculous?"

[ace_of_hearts]

"Who's being ridiculous?" A pout and an armfold. "You haven't even seen me get ridiculous."

Because he was, in fact, much worse usually.

[originaldragoon]

"If you are not being ridiculous now than what are you? Some kind of deranged court jester?" It really would explain a lot about this man.

[ace_of_hearts]

"Former pirate captain. Currently a monster demon. And you're still rude!" Ace huffed.

[originaldragoon]

"Says the man who claims that attack someone with an ax is a greeting." She still isn't convinced that she should believe him on that. "And I never claimed to be polite. Though you being a pirate does explain a lot..." Not sure if it's an improvement from a deranged court jester though.

[ace_of_hearts]

"Yes," armfold, nod!

"So what about you then? What did you used to do before here?"

[originaldragoon]

Hey seems so proud of that fact.... She really shouldn't be surprised at this point.

"I was a Dragoon. A knight who could command dragons. But I guess I am unable to do that anymore."

With her Dragoon Spirit gone, it meant that she was no longer a Dragoon. She cannot remember what it was like to not have with her constantly and hear the faint roar of a dragon at the back of her mind. It was a very alien feeling.

1/3

[ace_of_hearts]

"No way!" Ace gaped quietly.

2/3

[ace_of_hearts]

"Does everyone know inedible dragon friends except me?!"

Huff.

3/3 done

[ace_of_hearts]

"Why can't you now?" Suspicious peer.

[originaldragoon]

"When I came to this realm I did not have my Dragoon Spirit anymore. As a result I no longer have the connection to that power. Magic works differently here after all..."

Wait, did he just say...

"What do you mean 'inedible'!? Do not tell me that you eat dragons!"

That would be like eating another person!

[ace_of_hearts]

"No..." a mild sulk. "Because they all talk or are related to friends," he says it so damn petulantly. "And they were like, 'No bad Ace, no eating family' and I was like, 'wow guys I don't have to be told fifty times....'" Spoilers: yes he did.

"Anyway," he brightened up, hoping to distract the woman, "You should meet Figment. And Mal. And don't worry about things like magic being different. Because you're still you, so you can still be friends with them, right?"

Flicking his hat up slightly, he commented, "Figment's purple but his favorite color's orange, and he's super into fire. And Sylvy made him a copy of my hat because he liked it so much. And Mal's mother was a giant dragon that got shrunk because she didn't love enough or something."
