Fallon looked down upon the boy- for that was what he was- but did not flinch nor react to it. She had already received an inkling of his age when she used the Lykata, along with the residual feelings of worry. Anything else though was beyond her. Why he felt so was beyond the mind of her and her abilities, and so she was left to send out her own feelers to try and pick up those little signs that may reveal why. She took to the seat without a moment of hesitation, leaning back in it slightly so she could receive a better view of him from beneath her hood. Else wise her eyes were set upon his hands, and where they lay.

“My skills?” her hand petted the top of Orvin’s head as he sat himself down next to her. She regarded him for a moment, her mind calculating an answer “I can track with Orvin here. I can also help in your survival in the Wild lands should we end up there. I am also capable of defending myself should the need arise along with a few other little helpful things. A bit of medicine… nothing special, but enough to stop your guts from hanging out whilst you are dragged to a real doctor. So let’s just say I can do a few things on a small scale. An odd-jobber if you prefer such a title.”

It was intentionally vague. If anything to see how the boy would react to it. That and she was not comfortable with the idea of revealing her more magic driven skills. They may of been her more specialised areas but they were also of her more private lifestyle.

“As I perceive myself as? I could say a many a thing, about how I perceive myself. But whether or not I am of any value to you is for you to decide at the end of the day. Personally though, I am little more than a tool to be used. But that is just my own opinion,” she gave a nod to the boy “I will let you judge on how to put I to use.”

“Being in a team,” she begun almost as soon as he had finished, “Or more over knowing how to work in a team is a vital skill. Of course there is always occasions were going solo is more useful, it allows one to slip in and out unnoticed. But in this case I have no qualms in it. It is necessary after all. Or at least until you see fit- I do not know your plans after all.” The squire gave a respectable nod to him, before continuing on to her own set of questions.

“Tell me,” she leaned herself in and met his eyes “Why has your client not gone to the knights for assistance? Or at least alerted them of a potential problem? After all, this is a retrieval request and judging by your flyer a potentially risky one. My other question is this, upon the presumption that I am accepted in on your little adventure what will be the day of departure? I need to ensure I have the necessary equipment after all.”
oocThey’re fine. Thank you. (You escape the finding out of the name for now).

A Team Effort (Fubuki Kouri, Fallon, Akilia Dosert )

Postby Oleander on May 8th, 2013, 7:21 am

Oleander listened to Wulvenhart’s answers. Each answer she gave Oleander nodded and pondered a little before asking another question. When she explained her furry companion’s ability, oleander gazed at the dog, or wolf named Orvin. Oleander wasn’t the best with animals, they tended to snarl or bark at him whenever he is near. However, this one seemed to be well tamed as it hadn’t barked at him yet. Oleander soon returned his gaze back to Wulvenhart. She also explained that she was able to survive in the wilds and could assist other in surviving as well as her experience in medicine, Oleander’s thoughts of adding her to the team rose sharply. A well-mannered, dog taming, wilderness survivalist who is able to tend to the wounded? Never thought I’d see one with such a range of skill… she truly is an ‘odd jobber’… I wonder what her occupation is…

When oleander moved to his second question, his brow slightly furrowed at Wulvenhart’s response. He was quite intrigue about her answer. She thought of herself a tool, rather than a weapon. Oleander saw this as a positive thing, in the sense of that she understood that a task doesn’t always require hacking and slashing, or brute strength. “I see… I’ll keep my judgement in mind…” Oleander said as he continued analysing Wulvenhart’s responses. Oleander's opiniton of the woman was a bit vague at the moment. However, his views of her will become vivid by the end of the day. Oleander gave a slight cough to clear his throat before asking his last question.

Oleander fired his question and Wulvenhart gave an answer. However, Oleander was slightly thrown off by her response. From what Wulvenhart expressed, she was more of a soloist. The reason Oleander was thrown off by this is because the skills she possessed aren’t only useful to herself, but also for the people around her. However, Oleander could understand the point that she was trying to make. Oleander would often take on his assignment by himself. However, this mission was a tad bit dangerous for him, that’s why he’s doing this.

When it was Wulvenhart turn to question Oleander, she lent in and fired her question. She asked Oleander about his client and why he decided to use Oleander's service rather that the Knight. When Oleander heard this, he rested his hand under his chin and rubbed it slightly as he thought about her question. “This is indeed potentially risky, and if I were him, I’d rush over to the knights for help as soon as possible. However, this man seemed a bit ‘unstable’ due to his incident. The man was like a person wearing blindfold. The person wanted to see the light, but didn’t know what to. However, when they found out that they had to remove the blindfold to see, the image of the sun filled his vision, blinding his view of the world… I assume my client could only think of my services when he heard it. You just have to appreciate the complexity of the human mind… anyways that’s just my theory…” Oleander theorized in a metaphor.

Soon after Wulvenhart asked Oleander about the departure and preparation. Oleander just smiled and explained to Wulvenhart the plan if she joined. “Well… today is the departure. However, don’t fret… after I gathered enough people, I’m allowing each individual to gather their necessary equipment. Each person has five bells to get ready before meeting at the main gates. So around about the sixteenth bell we’ll all meet and depart. You’re free to bring horses… However, if we find the campsite, I’d recommend leaving it at a fair distance away from the area….”

“Well, what do you say Wulvenhart… Are you interested? A team would thrive with you in it.” Oleander said, trying to sway Wulvenhart to join.
OOCForgive my metaphor...

Fallon leaned back in the chair and laced her fingers together, a look of careful thought having crossed her face. She received the answers from the boy, her eyes becoming narrow with thought. She gave a slow nod to the words in agreement “Indeed, the human mind when under high amounts of stress does cause them to perform outside of their characteristic traits,” she watched Orvin’s head turn to the door, ears perking upright as another patron came in, before returning to his master “And I can assure you, in my experience with bandits…” she shook her head as she remembered the previous encounters she had with the sort. She stretched out a hand and gave a gesture, fingers turning with thought “It is an interesting proposition. I’ll give you that much at least,” there was the incline of the head as she weighed up her options and her own plans.

It would have been incredibly easy for her to get up and walk away, to decline the offer. But then again, if she went there would always be a risk of things going wrong. However, it was a potential trip out into the wild lands. And Fallon would have accepted any excuse to go out there. Standing she looked down upon him “Welcome me aboard then. Now, shall I go and gather my equipment now or shall I wait for you to continue to filter through other potential candidates?” She would respect whatever choice he made and in turn would react accordingly to it. If he released her for the few bells then she would go and meet with him at a later time, if he requested her presence then she would stay put and remain a silent observer.

A Team Effort (Fubuki Kouri, Fallon, Akilia Dosert )

Postby Oleander on May 10th, 2013, 5:36 am

Oleander sat in his chair as he listened to the woman weighing her options. On the outside, Oleander was calm and holding a straight face the whole time as Wulvenhart wiggled her finger in the air, expressing her thoughts about this whole thing. However, on the inside, Oleander wanted her to join and was in a slight panic. It didn’t help when Wulvenhart gave Oleander a glare that looked as if she was going to get up and leave. However, she made the decision to join. A mental sigh was made by Oleander as his panic disbursed. After she accepted to join Oleander's assignment, she asked him if she needed to stay or if she could go.

“I’d prefer it if you’d join us here. The main reason why I say this is so that you know who is in your team. If there is a person you don’t like then I’ll reject them, a happy team equals better results. Also you can spend this time to get to know each other better.” Oleander explained to Wulvenhart. What Oleander had stated was true. He needed his team to be happy with minimum quarrels. Oleander watched as Wulvenhart wandered over to a chair near to Kouri and himself. Okay, that’s two added into the team all I need is one more.

Ten chimes had passed since Wulvenhart’s joining. Oleander was sitting patiently in The Herald’s Arm, waiting for last recruit to pop up. Oleander grabbed his cup of water and slowly sipped the water as it reached his lips. Oleander peered through his hood and looked around the place. The sight of people having fun in their circle of friends made Oleander slightly envious. Oleander turned his head slightly to look at Kouri and Wulvenhart from the corner of his eye. We are a team, right? A person in team is just a teammate...right…? Oleander returned his gaze back to the people in the people in the tavern and heaved a small sigh.

A Team Effort (Fubuki Kouri, Fallon, Akilia Dosert )

Postby Akilia Dosert on May 11th, 2013, 6:21 am

Akilia


Not having much else to do, Akilia randomly decided to take a stroll...through the city. Dressed in her usual simple gray blue shirt, dark pants, and soft supple leather boots, she skipped on the cobble stones, the black cloak tied round her neck, billowing out behind her.
This was probably the worst place to take a walk by far.
It stunk. The smell of unwashed bodies, sweat and gods know what else made the girl gag with each breath. She had one hand plugging her nose up but...it didnt help. She still had to breathe and just because it was through her mouth didnt mean the place stank any less.
She was shuffling through a partically foul alley, one that she hadn't been down before and that made her curious. This wasn't her first time she had ever been in Syilras so her nose began plugging up on its own to block the offensive smell. Rounding a corner, Akilia's wandering eyes spotted a flyer tacked to the wall. She read it quickly not paying much attention to what she read until...she saw the word: Mission.

"Mission?" Her voice squeaked in surprise. She read it over again slowly this time. "The Herald's Inn then? I wonder if they've already found a third person, and if they didnt why in the world would they take me?" She asked herself bitterly trying to talk herself out of going to the interviewing place in the first place. She ripped the paper off the wall and traced her finger slowly over the words: All can apply...
She grinned, "Well they did say all..." She mused, then clutching it in her hand she stepped into a jog...then to a run. "Might...already have...someone." She huffed softly to herself. She dodged a few people here and there...there and here, not to mention being turned around more than once. Akilia wasn't all familiar to the city but nor was she a stranger to it.

The girl halted next to the building; The Herald's Inn, panting. She had probably run from one side of the city to the other and was most likely adding her share of the smell that clung to Syliras. Walking into the inn, her eyes searched for someone who was Merle. They didnt find Merle, they got distracted by two people, a ghost girl....who looked extremely familiar but whose name sadly escaped Akilia at the last second...and a woman who gave the Kelvic girl the feeling she had seen her before.
Attention finally landing on the boy. Why is he sitting in front of them? She wondered. Maybe this is Merle? I doubt it but might as well ask...
She stood towards him then tapping on his shoulder she asked, "Do you know of a Merle?" She pulled out the crinkled up ad and showed it to him.

A Team Effort (Fubuki Kouri, Fallon, Akilia Dosert )

Postby Oleander on May 12th, 2013, 1:05 pm

Oleander sat in his chair silently with his hood covering his face and with his eyes closed. Because the amount of people who wanted to partake in the mission has dwindled down to nothing, Oleander decided to indulge himself with some thinking. This was one of Oleander's favoured pass times. He simple allowed his thoughts to wander and latch onto any idea and concepts. … You know… I think it’s been a long time since I played a good game of chess… I always admired the ability to deceive an opponent… making them think they have the upper hand, when in fact their defences are being undermined slowly, rendering it useless in turns to come… Oleander smirked as he continued his thoughts.

After a few chimes had passed, Oleander's pleasant thoughts were interrupted by a few light taps on the shoulder. He felt slightly annoyed by this gesture, but allowed it to slide. Oleander turned his head towards the direction his shoulder was tapped. The voice of a young girl was heard, she was asking about the identity of a person named ‘Merle’. Oleander tilted his head up slightly, revealing a small portion of his face. He peered thought his hood with one eye to take a look at this person. His eye met a young girl with dark brown hair with blue eyes, judging by the looks of her she was around about Kouri’s age, if not older. “I do know of him… I assumed you want him so you can ask about the job?” Oleander said, questioning the young girl. “Why not take a seat here and I’ll go got him for you.” he continued, gesturing for her to sit down.

When the girl sat down, Oleander stood up and did a lap around the table and sat down in the same chair. “Sorry, I’m late… I hope I didn’t keep you waiting…”God… I’m hilarious… If there was one thing Oleander was terrible at, it was making joke. “Putting the humour a side… I’m Merle and I see that you are interested in my flyer, yes…?” Oleander asked, making sure that her intention was to apply for his team.

Akilia


Akilia sat and watched him slightly confused when he circled her then sat himself back down in the same spot. She raised an eyebrow at his joke and overall sense of humor. This guy? She thought, then did a small shake of her head in disbelief. "You've got to be kidding me." She muttered irritated. She didn't care that he was a kid like her though older, she didn't notice that much really. She viewed him as sort of an...well an, idiot whether he was one or not. And a guy with a sad sense of humor.

Well at least she found him...this Merle. Time to get down to business. "Yeah, does your offer still stand?" She glanced behind him briefly at Kouri and... the woman. They didn't look to be his bodyguards or anything, perhaps he hadn't found the third person yet? She hoped.
