Gotcha gotcha, thank for clarifying.

Also I was expecting a few extra years more xD looks like Provostus is the big boy in town >:3

Victor is a relatively new Hunter, yes, but then so are most Hunters in Yharnam; in fact I'd say a majority are even newer than Victor, as the church has been trying to replenish their Hunters from losses not only to the scourge of beasts, but also to other factions, who kill or convert their Hunters.
Even the ones counted as the absolute elite, like Dietrich and Moira, have only been Hunters for about four years; remember, nearly all the Hunters of Yharnam were killed during the Night of the Blood Moon. Hunters like Raine from before then are extremely rare.

Ahhh, I see. That is good to know! I imagine then that among the Hunters Raine is a formidable one, given his sheer amount of experience in comparison? Something I may not have expected 😅

Well, yes and no. Yes, his experience would make him valuable (and probably a major factor in the church being willing to take him back), but you'd also have to wonder just how much experience actually counts for with Hunters. A lot of Hunters were also soldiers (like Victor and Moira), bandits or huntsmen before becoming Hunters, meaning that they aren't exactly new at fighting and killing, though they may be so at facing beasts, superhuman opponents and being superhuman themselves. I imagine Raine would be much more likely to identify weaknesses than most, though.
It's also worth noting that in Bloodborne, the deadliest of all Hunters (usually) ends up being the player character, besting even hundred-year veterans like Gehrman... and that the player character has been a Hunter for only one night. Sure, they might have died a lot learning those things, but they were able to keep at it no matter how much they died until they learned. Compared to Raine, who only has one life, that's a much more intense way of learning.
In other words, I wouldn't expect Moira (a former Paleblood Hunter) to be impressed.

Gotcha! Having multiple lives does seem to be quite the advantage xD

Who's next in the clinic scene? @Habibi359? @King Cosmos?

I have to say, personally I feel a lot more enthusiastic about this RP than I expected I would. I keep wanting to go a little further with my posts or post more often, even if I know I shouldn't, just because I'm so eager to write for this. Not that my eagerness should dictate your lives or pace of posting, I just want you to know that I'm genuinely excited about the ideas I have in store for this RP.

I'll post tonight. Not quite sure what to do since the door is locked and I want to do something more productive than just react to things.

Hmm. I see... I suppose I'll accelerate events a little faster than I'd planned to in the clinic-scene, just to make sure you two have something to do besides talking, figuring out the Messengers and breaking down the door. Will move things forward after your or Habibi's post, depending on the contents of the post (and what Habibi thinks about it).

I'm fine with moving forward, excited even.

Just for explanation's sake, there was a point to me deciding to start you off in isolation like that... namely that I expected there to be a longer period of adjustment for the characters with all the weird things going on and strange people being around. Somehow it didn't even occur to me that neither Marcus nor Joseph might be interested in knowing who they were, what the Messengers are or what is up with all the sleeping people in the room with them. I'll remedy that and give them something more concrete to deal with.

Are you still working on your post, King Cosmos?

Posted. And in my defense, one of the first things Joseph looked for was a doctor or someone to explain what was going on.

Hmm... Interesting.

Eh, with the way the post ended it'll feel really unnatural if I were to make things happen just now, before Marcus has a chance to react. Would you like to post first, Habibi?

I'll make a post later this evening ^^

How are you doing, @Bartimaeus? I presume you're next in the Adelicia-scene.

@Dark JackMhm. I'm feeling a bit better lately. Will get my post out c:

It's been one bloody week so haven't even had time to check how it's going here. I'll post on Sunday, I need a small mental break :D

So it's Bartimaeus for the Adelicia-scene... who is next in the clinic? @King Cosmos or me? Or Habibi, I guess, if Marcus is going to react to Ishin joining the fray.

I'll make a post tomorrow. @Th3King0fChaos any preference in what weapon Joseph throws Ishin's way?

None what so ever, @King Cosmos. Just do whatever you feel fits.
