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.

Comments

[ace_of_hearts]

"Okay," Ace nodded, pretending he totally understood it. And he did get... most of it he thought. Some of it. Enough of it anyway.

"So everyone gets magic here, but it's not really like what you had before. I had a fire devil fruit before, which meant I could turn into and generate fire, and I could be the only one in my whole world who could do that so long as I was alive." Ace didn't know that was similar to the talents thing. "Here anyone can do fire, they're just not as likely to resort to it. Every person is a different class, which is a weird word for it, and I don't get why they chose it, but fairy, mystic, monster, uh... princess, toy," Ace scrunched his face in thought and shrugged, "Hero, warrior, those are all classes. You have to ask Merlin for what class you are. Hero and Warriors use weapons, Mystics have wands, Princesses have uh... jewelry, and monsters and fairies have elements like fire. I'm a fire monster. And the full moon strengthens us, and new moon makes unconscious. It's annoying."

[believe_it_or_not]

"I can see how it could be annoying, yes," he said, managing not to laugh.

[ace_of_hearts]

"And the classes decide the kind of magic you can do. Monsters can do Energy, gross, and strong! It's fun! I don't really get why they call it gross though, I mean yeah, people don't like bugs, but Lydia's a princess and talks to them, so why's it gross for monsters, but delicate for princesses?"

[believe_it_or_not]

He laughed. "That sort of makes no sense double standard seems to be par for any course, my friend."

[ace_of_hearts]

"I see," Ace nodded sagely.

Spoilers: no he didn't.

"Oh, and some people get jobs, but they're all stupid and require shirts." He glanced Grey over, "You might be fine." That's not an insult. "But the missions in the jungle are more fun, even if the corroded are all giant losers who won't come out and fight. So it's like 'Oh fix up the temple! But wait! You also must hunt corroded!' and then they run away like losers so you can't do both, it's really annoying. Even if the jungle is nice. Reminds me of home."

[believe_it_or_not]

He chuckled a bit. "I suspect you'd like Xanth."

[ace_of_hearts]

"Lots of jungle? I'm more of an ocean man. Pirate by trade. Just grew up hunting giant monsters in Goa's jungle," wry grin. "My favorite island was Wano, but it was all polluted by the jackass dragon emperor that ran it to the ground."

[believe_it_or_not]

"Lots of humans and part humans who don't believe in shirts," he said with humour. The problem with the oceans in Xanth really are the sea monsters more than anything. But overland can be just as dangerous."

[ace_of_hearts]

Ace laughed. People were way too obsessed with clothes.

"Oh! My world has tons of sea monsters! Krakens, seakings, you name it! My brother even befriended an island whale! And supposedly there's a few ancient animals like Zou, which is a giant elephant or a giant sea turtle that have whole islands on their backs!"

He is not kidding about the giant thing either. Xanth giants might go invisible, but in Ace's world, they were easily 300 feet tall and counting. It got bigger from there.

[believe_it_or_not]

He nodded. "Yeah," he said with a laugh. "You'd love Xanth."

[ace_of_hearts]

"If they ever find a way, you can be my tour guide," a wry grin.

[believe_it_or_not]

He grinned. "Sure. Ivy and I can do that, won't even charge you a year."

[ace_of_hearts]

A head tilt.

"How does charging a year work? And who's Ivy?"

Random lack of canon point choices, wheeee

[believe_it_or_not]

"Ivy is my Fianceé. and until recently we worked for the Good Magician in his stead. He charges a year of service or equivalent for an answer. I was joking, of course we wouldn't charge you. I just had a moment of forgetting I wasn't talking to someone who just... knew what we've been doing recently. Ivy... you'll like her if she wants you to," he said after a moment.

\o/

[ace_of_hearts]

"Ah... I wouldn't mind. A year, I mean. I'm not going anywhere."

But the latter comment about Ivy got an askance look indeed! "That's ominous. What if she doesn't want me to?"

Re: \o/

[believe_it_or_not]

He laughed. "I want you two to get along, so she'll probably go along with it. She loves making new friends."

[ace_of_hearts]

"Got it," Ace snapped and laughed. "She sounds like my kid brother Luffy. Once he decides to make friends with you, you can never escape him. Great quality in a pirate king, terrible quality in a little brother."

[believe_it_or_not]

He laughed a bit. "I could see that."
