Penny

Penny once more listened to what Damian was saying. She wasn't sure how best to react. Not regretting killing someone wasn't a bad thing, she knew, but being proud? She analysed her own feelings on that, but she had never been good with emotions, never been good with understanding. She had never been proud of killing her father. She never regretted it, either though. He had been trying his hardest to kill her, but two wrongs didn't make a right.

Still, she hadn't been raised as a child solider. She didn't know what that was like, but she knew enough about military types to know that they instilled pride into their warriors. You couldn't, after all, have someone who would break down after their first kill in a battle, and throw the whole thing. Still...she broke in, "The fact that you can regret it, makes you a good person" but her words were probably lost as Damian kept talking.

She watched as he drew his blade, setting it on his lap, seemingly it seemed to draw strength from that simple act. As he continued speaking, Penny froze.[color=ed1c24] [i]"because I love you"]/i][/color]. Had anyone ever said that to her? She imagined her mother must have, but she never remembered it, couldn't remember it. Her father never had. Solias never had, certainly. Not even Sasha. Before, Penny had just assumed that love was nothing, that it was just a word people threw around. But for the last several months, she hadn't been too sure.

Love. The fire wizard sunk down to the floor, before she fell down. She gave a soft sound, that could have been a sob, could have been a cry, or just some random sound. The stupid part was, she had always known, always that somewhere along the line, Damian had probably killed. Swords were dangerous, and Damian skilled. In a way, she had had months to deal with it, and figure out how she felt. Turned out, months was even enough. But there was enough there, enough understanding, and enough of her own experiences for her to get passed that. But how could he love her? She wasn't worthy of any love, and she had to make him understand that. Penny didn't want him to ruin himself for her. No matter how she felt. "You're better then me. I don't regret killing him. All I felt was relief, all I still feel is relief. And I know, I would do it again. And again. because two wrongs might not make a right, but some monsters have to be killed. So how can you love me?" her voice was soft, raw and she bowed her head, waiting for his answer.

Michael

Prince was a flirt, Michael saw that now. It didn't mean he didn't know how to deal with it, or that he would stop blushing. He was so shy, and had rarely had attention like that. But the question was, did Prince do it, just to tease him, or for another reason? Michael was never good at knowing, and thats what had gotten him into trouble previously.

He guessed he would find out.

"D-don't w-w-w-w-w-worry, I c-c-can h-h-hold up m-m-my o=o-own" he managed to stumble out to the guild master, of course not meeting his eyes, but proud all the same that he hadn't whispered. He nodded to Prince, remembering river town from a visit yeas ago.

"it does" he agreed, once more checking his pouch, and satisfied, ready to go, he smiled, glancing around the guild hall, but knowing it would be there when they got back. "lets go"

Gabriel

Gabriel knew that he was a B-Rank wizard, but he didn't care. C rank meant he got in, and meant he had done it himself, he thought. He gave his opponent a smile, and offered his hand for a hand shake, "Thank you kindly for the weapon, and the fight. You're better then my brother, but then, he gets too clumsy and flustered and tends to fall over" He spoke with all the pride a sibling could muster for another, but his expression faded, as he wondered how Michael was doing. Perhaps he should have gone with him, to make ure he was alright.

no, then he'll never learn confidence, if he has to always look to you for guidance. I'm sure he's fine.

"No, thank you. I'm happy as a C rank for now. Perhaps when I get more spirits, I might. And when I have a weapon of my own, that I am use to." Gabriel honestly didn't care what rank he was. He glanced about, and saw that Rat hadn't done as good a job as he had hoped. He gave a sigh, wondering if he had been harsh, and went over to Rat and the girl. He sat down, opposite her and said "Do I have to get dog to come and lick your face, until you smile and laugh? I'm sorry, I just...I couldn't just be tossed out like that, for some stupid thing. My apologies, my lady." he tipped an imaginary hat to her, hoping for some reaction.

Jarvis

Jarvis gave a surprised look at Lucas. He had thought that Lucas was a apart of the guild already, and wondered how he could have over looked that. He gave a smile, and nodded, "Certainly you may join. Im sorry, I thought Jamie had already brought you in. Just a moment" he quickly retrieved the guild marker, glancing to the job board as a job disappeared, taken, he assumed by another guild.

He would have to look at putting more jobs up, it seemed.

He returned to Lucas, "Alright then, where do you want it and what colour?"

[Remram]

@Lugubrious
NOLAN

For someone with a head screwed off Xyster was awfully cheerful. The fact that she carried her head around didn't even phase him once at all. It was the fact that she was a woman that kept him from getting closer to her even if she wasn't a human being. As long they were the opposite sex and at least were near his age then he would be on edge. When she stepped closer to him it took his will to not take a step back lest he would make an ill favored impression. Oddly enough she wanted to play rock-paper-scissors with him and he couldn't think of a reason to deny her so he allowed himself a couple rounds. He scowled at his fist as he lost to the first round in the match up with paper versus rock, but then won with paper cutting scissors. Nolan nodded his head in approval of his victory. It was interesting to meet other guild mages that were participating in the tournament yet have no hostility towards each other. It was somehow...comforting.

Out of nowhere the headless woman confirmed Nolan's suspicions that she wasn't human, but indeed a Dullahan. He knew somewhat of what they were, but this was his first time meeting one. "I could tell you weren't human, not just because of your head." Nolan leaned back against a support beam and in the most nonchalant, impassive tone anyone could have about the subject of killing he said, "Yes, I've killed a lot of people recently. I was in Caelum not too long ago for some personal business and I encountered criminals of the worst kind. Slave dealers, pedophiles, murderers, rapists, dark mages, you name it. Unlike Damian I don't regret killing them, not one bit." Nolan took his pipe from his pocket and stuffed a wad of tobacco in it before lighting it with his lighter. It was hard to believe that this man was apart of Phoenix Wing.

@Zarkun

ZEV

Zev had slung his arms around both Jake and Hunter's shoulders laughing jovially with his two friends, his face tinged with a slight flush. In the excitement of the announcement for the Grand Magic Games he had a bit too much to drink even though he knew very well that he had an alcohol tolerance that was almost non-existent. Again someone in the guild would have to make some magical concoction to remove his drunkenness before he went home to his daughter or else he would be completely indisposed. "Congrats Hunter! May you fight on and raise hell!" A black hand mixed with purple rose out of the counter, holding Zev's mug of beer up to his face as he gulped out of it. It certainly wasn't an appropriate use of using his familiars. He then turned his gaze to Jake with a buzzed grin. "So I wonder why you weren't selected for the games. You're strong, but then again so is Ammy and hmph she is a fine looking woman."

[YipeeXD]

lazarus

He nodded, looking down at his new attire. It did suit him better than the white suit, and he knew it. He smiled and nodded. "I agree. We're going to train harder than ever before, he clenched his fist and flexed. "Master! We'll be leaving soon! When do you need us back?" He called across the room to Jarvis. He also noted Karn leaving. "...and Karn... good to see you on your feet." He nodded before returning to Sasha's side. "This training will be tough, and there will be pain. Up for the challenge?" He grinned.

Shujin

Zev was drunk and disorderly. Shuujin hated people when they were smashed. He also made a comment about Ammy. Men that didn't respect women also annoyed him greatly. "Metal make... mini impact..." a tiny brick of iron thumped Zen on the back of the head. Not enough to injure, but enough to sting. "Zen you drunken mess! Have some respect!" He joked with the man. "Sober up before I dunk you in an icy bath!" He chuckled before turning back to Ammy. "You're too modest. I'm sure we have a great chance of winning, and i'll be lucky to be thrown into a team battle with you." He smiled, before she mentioned that Phoenix wing were participating. "I figured..." His expression dropped. He had heard of Lazarus' pardon. "My... br... well an acquaintance of mine is in phoenix wing. I hope he participates. I'll wipe the floor with him." he thought to himself for a moment deeply.

[Zarkun]

Damian Gerard|Phoenix Wing Guild Hall

She threw another question his way, this one more difficult to answer that he'd thought it would be, but also a lot easier. "You're better then me. I don't regret killing him. All I felt was relief, all I still feel is relief. And I know, I would do it again. And again. because two wrongs might not make a right, but some monsters have to be killed. So how can you love me?" her voice was soft, raw and she bowed her head, something he knew was a sigh she was waiting for his answer. And he didn't need to think to answer this one.

Setting the sword off to one side on the bed, Damian walked over to Penny and kneeled, holding her chin and looking her in the eye, a soft smile on his face. "Because despite all your flaws, and a shadowy past, it's who you've become and who you are that matters. And that's all I care about." Following his instinct, he leaned in and he kissed her.

Hunter Jorgenson|Dragon Fang Guild Hall

"Congrats Hunter! May you fight on and raise hell!" Hunter laughed along with the drunk man but was sure to keep an him and make sure he stayed out of trouble. The whole guild knew how much he loved his daughter and didn't want him screwing that up for themselves. And everyone in the guild would help make sure he didn't.

After he downed his mug, Ammy smoothly cut him off from any more drink by taking the empty mug and Hunter chuckled. Shujin chucked a small metal brick at the back of Zev's head but meant it all in good fun. "Come on Zev, with Ammy in the mix there won't be anything left for me! Still, I'm gonna go out there and show them what I got." Jake shrugged at Zev's question.

"Girl needs out more. When Master Jack was picking, I told him to put Ammy over me."

Ammy Silver|Dragon Fang Guild Hall

Ammy shook her head as the guild celebrated the choosing of the team members for Team Dragon Fang. And if she knew Hunter, he'd be out training here soon, getting stronger so he could show the other guilds that Dragon Fang was taking home the title of strongest guild in all of Fiore. Hearing Shujin, she smiles.

"Don't underestimate our opponents, Shujin, they might surprise you."

[Joshua Tamashii]

Elyse Yashai

@Caits

Elyse listened to Jamie but not even the amount of candy given to her could consul the girl from what she heard. She didn't want Jamie to leave. He had just gotten back.
"Why Jamie no stay? Why Jamie leave? Does Jamie no longer like us?" She asked, tears welling up in her eyes." Is... Is Jamie leaving us? Will Jamie come back?"

Jack, the Maiden of the Mist

@Zarkun

Jack glanced up at Master Jack as he approached and said nothing, turning back to her work. When he asked about her lack of reaction to making it to the team, she shrugged before dispelling the mist and looking over at him.
"We aren't the best with emotions. We always try to keep them neutral. Unfeeling." She reminded him before looking a bit confused."But as of late we have had... we don't know. It's strange. We don't know what emotions are supposed to feel like but we think we're starting to feel them... maybe. It's just very strange.

As for the team, we simply see it as another job. Nothing special about it."

Joshua Tamashii

@Amaya Tamashii

"Well, this is my queue to leave." Joshua muttered to himself after he heard Damian make his love confession. He left right afterwards, missing out on the rest of the conversation. He headed back into the main area and looked around. People were milling about and doing whatever it was that they felt like doing. Going on jobs, training, or doing general chores for the guild. He looked around for a place to sit and eventually ended up sitting next to a white-haired girl reading a book."Hope you don't mind the intrusion. Seems every other seat is taken at the moment."

[Silver Fox]

Karn
Fiore || Magnolia || Phoenix Wing Guild

@YipeeXD

Karn blinked a bit as he passed by Lazarus and Jarvis, and he smiled brightly as the angelic male greeted him. "Thank you Light. Glad to see you back. Looking cool too." he replied cheerfully before watching Lazarus return to Sasha's side. Who also looked a bit different from when he first met her. They haven't gotten to speak with them too much since he was sick most of the last two weeks and they had disappeared to Edolas and then Lazarus suddenly disappeared, and Sasha hadn't been quite so talkative. Still, it was nice seeing them both seeming alright. Especially when he got back, there was that chatter about some problems.

But the two of them seemed to be getting ready to get training for the Magic Games, and he had to take care of this job as soon as possible. Maybe the three of them could train together when he returns. Walking out of the Guildhall, he stopped as he faced toward where Hargeon Town was and took deep breaths. Okay... There was going to be a lot of water, but it'll be okay. He probably didn't actually have to go too near it. If it was though... Well... He'd figure it out.

Prince
Fiore || Shirotsume || Dragon Fang Guild

@Oblivion666@Caits

Prince chuckled a bit, walking through the town, a few passerby's stared at him. Most were wealthy, and looked quite snobbish in his direction but didn't seem to otherwise bother him. Probably because he was a long time Guildmember. The tall feline didn't seem to notice or care though as he happily tipped his hat to whomever passed him by, or quickly got out of his way. The regular chatter could be heard, and his ears twitched at the loud annoying buzz. Some were speaking of him, others were simply gossiping, and many were talking about their plump lives or business. The problem with having ears like these, there was hardly ever silence. But he supposed that was never a bad thing.

Turning his gaze toward Michael, Prince grinned nonchalantly grasped the newcomers hand, intertwining their fingers with a cheerful grin. Also, doing the same with Zephyr's hand. "So you say you have a brother? He decided not to come with you?" he asked.

[CitrusArms]

Phoenix Wing

@Jangel13@Lugubrious
Trinity had thought she heard Jamie's name from the crowd of people gathered in the guild hall, but she decides she must have been hearing things. Even if that weren't the case, if the guild master didn't want to be found, then it was best not to try to find her. She could disappear herself very easily... Oh, and there goes Karn again. Off on a job. Ah well, what did she expect? She watches him go for a moment before turning back to the two she was speaking with. Ah, it seemed as though they'd already gone out back... or at least Angelo had. Fleo was still nearby, at the bar, talking to... someone. Trinity listened for just a moment, catching Fleo's rank as she started to head out back.

She lifts a hand to greet Angelo as she steps out into the back, her head turning as Fleo comes out soon to join them. "Fleo, I didn't know you're an A rank. I'm only B rank, myself, y'know. You'd probably fare better than I would." Though, they'd have to see how she holds up in training with two A ranks, wouldn't they? Fleo aired the next question on her tongue for her, so she simply looked to Angelo expectantly.

[MarshiestMallow]

Penny

That only brought up more questions. Like who was she? Why did that matter, in the scheme of it all? She didn't have much time to contemplate it, before Damian kissed her. Apart from some foolishness that all teenagers did, Penny had never kissed anyone before. Let alone someone that has just professed their love for her. A strange, overwhelming feeling flood through her, and Penny found herself moving closer to Damain, and for some time, blissful, Penny returned his kiss. Things just seemed to make sense, if only for that small amount of time.

And when she pulled away, just enough so that she could speak, she couldn't help but give a soft laugh. "you say it's because of who Ive be come and who I am, and yet, you think that I can't love you because of your past?" she gave a soft shake of her head, more amazed then anything else. "you're such a fool" she didn't know what she could say. The last two weeks, hell, the last several months, years had been such a...roller coaster that Penny was surprised she knew up from down.

She still didn't know how anyone could love her, but she wasn't going to say no to it. She didn't even know if she could say the words herself. She'd probably cry if she tried, and she really didn't want to cry. So for now, Penny just took his hands in hers, and felt goofy even doing that. She cleared her throat, um. Now what?"

Sasha

Sasha gave a nodded "perfectly ready! Can't be worse then anything we've done so far!" she said, smiling, trying to make it seem like she wasn't worried.

"shall we train here or find somewhere else to go? There's lots of good spots to train in, and im sure there is gokng tk be a lot we have to prepare for!" she said, glancing around, wondering if they should ask any of the others who were participating in the game

Jamie

Jamie gave a soft sigh, and took a moment to reply. "jamie had to leave, to protect you all. I love you all, and Jamie will be back, soon. I promise, little one." he said, and despite the risk, Jamie changed to her normal form, so she could hug and cradle Elyse, brushing away any tears, and soothing the girl. "I'll be back for the magic games, I promise."

Michael

Michael never did understand the way some people had with casual contact. Michael was sure his hands were sweaty, and his breathing was a little fast as Prince took his hand, and son flustered that it took him some time to reply to Princes question, his face very red.

"um. N-n-no he w-want to j-join a d-different guild" he said softly, chancing a glance at the taller...male, and then away to look about. Well, that was his excuse anyone.

[Zarkun]

Damian Gerard|Phoenix Wing Guild Hall

"Um, now what?" Damian chuckled and pulled Penny in close, wrapping his arms around her. He wasn't sure himself, but with the Games ahead, he knew he couldn't afford to sit on his butt waiting for people to come to him. Smiling, he helped Penny up and grabbed Durandal, spinning the blade once and putting it back in it's sheath and then taking Penny's hand in his own.

"Well, we take it one step at a time. And, as unfortunate as it is, I need to get to training for the games." Unlocking his door, he opens it and leads the way back down to the main hall, sitting at a table with the Fire Mage. He still couldn't believe that he'd both not been shot down and that she didn't leave third degree burns on his cheek. And...well, he wouldn't jinx their relationship. Like he had told Penny, one day at a time. "You know, while I'm thinking about it, what do you say we train together? You may not be in the games, but it never hurts to get stronger. So, you up for it?" It didn't even click in his head that the whole guild had seen them holding hands when they came back from his room.

Jack Goran|Dragon Fang Guild Hall

Jack chuckles and nods at Jackie's words. "Emotions are tricky things to get, I do agree. But, they aren't horrible. And can even supercharge your spells." He listens to her describe how she felt about the magic games and nods in understanding. This new way of life was different for her and he didn't want her to rush into in any case. After watching her continue to toy with her mist make, he chuckles. "You want to know what a friend of mine who uses maker magic taught me about it even though I couldn't use it?"

[Silver Fox]

Prince
Fiore || Shirotsume || Dragon Fang Guild

@Oblivion666@Caits

Prince watched as Michael staggered with his answer, trying to organize his apparent scrambled brain. It was amusing to see. It seemed, Michael wasn't quite experienced with the art of courtship. A little surprising, he was tall and cute enough to attract plenty of females. But perhaps he was just too shy about it. Well, what better way to get used to it by having a giant catman.

"Mhmm I see, well I'm sure we'll see him again sometime. Maybe you two will get into a little sparing match." the feline mused before grinning as he watched the glances from Michael.

"Am I so devishly handsome you can't look at me or utterly terrifying?" he teased, pausing in front of a shop and waved to the shopkeeper.

"Supplies C please!" Prince cheered, causing the shopkeeper to roll her eyes before handing him a large pack and a couple of tickets. With a grin, he set a bag of jewel down before carrying the bag on his back.

Walking to a stables, he hummed as he led two horses out, one chestnut and one black horse. "Should be there in no time with these. Hope you two know how to ride." he said with a bright smile.

[soren]

@zarkun @caits

Gideon nodded at James and thanked him. "Well thank you for the info James. I think I do need to speak to Jarvis after all." He clapped the man on the back and thanked him again as he got up and walked through the hustle and bustle of people in the guild. More than once he had to excuse himself for knocking into someone while avoiding hitting someone else. Finally he had made it to Jarvis and hadn't injured anyone. "Excuse me Master Jarvis?" He asked politely but then went ahead and asked his question without acknowledgement that the Master actually heard him. "Will there be any jobs put up or anything that needs to be doing? I'm getting pretty antsy sitting and laying around. I'm used to being on the road you see and well...I'm sorry for bothering you about this. I just wanna put my skills to good use." Gideon sighed lightly partially due to getting all that out and because he felt like he might be bothering the headmaster and from what he gathered from around the guild he was very new to this. But that was a good thing Gideon guessed because Gideon himself was new to guild life and hadn't a clue what he was doing.

[Jangel13]

@CirusArvennicus@lugubrious

Angelo waved back at the both of them then he cracked his neck and sighed softly "alright guys since were all going to be going to the games I figured it would be best if we got to know each other and figure out more about how we all fight. So ill start off by saying my magic is lightning type my abilities range from throwing a simple lightning bolt to donning lightning armor that I call "Zeus" Armor which both protects me and enhances my speed, I have a second form where I don blue lightning and it increases my destructive force immensely as well as increase my speed even more however I cant use this ability for more then 5 minutes because the lightning actually starts to burn my actual body. The first time I used it I ended up getting burns all over my body for 2 weeks before I could walk without a limp. As you can guess my Weakness is Earth magic and the only way I can actually get through solid stone is with my second form but still iffy since its my trump card." Angelo said softly thinking that would be good enough for the time being then he turned to them "alright now whichever one of you wishes to go first explain your magic and what you can do and a weakness that we can help improve on"

[CitrusArms]

Phoenix Wing

"I'll go first." Trinity conjures her bow and quiver, turning to show the quiver off a bit. "I use a combination of Archery and Arrows magic. With Arrows magic, I can make... pretty much whatever kind of arrow I like. From fire and ice to a steel net or a noise maker. With Archery magic, I can manipulate the arrows I draw in my bow. I can replicate an arrow I've just shot, or duplicate or triplicate an arrow I have drawn. I can plan a specific trajectory or make them home in on a concentration of magic power. If I had to name a weakness... Close range. Oh, and my bow doubles as a harp."

[Demon Shinobi]

”It was nothing Karn. Anything for a friend.” He said before Karn got a bit quiet. He was probably thinking about Zero. He was nice. So nice. Always worrying more about other’s than himself. Zenoram sighed. They were a lot alike. Then he heard what had happened after the Grand Magic Games announcement. It was kind of… Sad to think about. But he hadn’t heard it all, and he didn’t completely know the circumstances.

“I see.” He said simply. Besides, Damian was a good person. That much was clear to him. At least, that’s what he thought. Though he couldn’t say the same for Zero. He didn’t really know what he thought about Damian specifically. Or anybody else overall really. Contrary to popular belief, the two COULD keep things from each other. But it took a lot of concentration. Which always showed the other how serious the subject was. His views of the world and people were a bit different. He’d ask later though.

Then, the young man felt something. In truth, Zenoram hadn’t noticed Mithera until she was already on his head. In which case, he received the shock of her speaking and bending forward to come into his line of vision. She was small, cute and her voice was definitely that of a female. To him, it was cute too. But here she was. I was a shock. He had thought she could speak in this form. Well, it was great all the same. “Nothing much really. I just got here and Karn was telling me about what had happened in the guild.” He said with a slight chuckle before looking to Karn.

He noticed something. The quick subtle changes in Karn after he saw a job. Should he have questioned him. Followed. They did make a good team, but, would Karn want to go alone? He wasn’t sure what to do. Karn had told him to talk to others, but was this really okay. “Should we really just leave Karn to this?” He asked Mithera as he watched Karn for the most part from afar. He wasn’t really sure what it was he should do. Surely they couldn’t leave Karn to his own devices. But even if they couldn’t… Would he be of any use? If they were put in a combat situation what could he really do other than help make a hasty retreat. Especially if Zero didn’t help or make an appearance.

@Burthstone@Silver Fox

[MarshiestMallow]

Penny

Penny was as surprised by the embrace as she was about the kiss. Once more, she tried to remember such tenderness, other then from her sister. Solias, but that was a sore spot she wasn't going to touch right now. She gave a soft sigh, pleased by it and was reluctant to move, but acxepted the help up, walking with him out the room.

Penny found herself nervous, and that wasn't something that she was used to, as they sat down. She glanced around the guild but for mel everything seemed okay. "training is always good. But where? I donly imagine, even with the extension, that the training grounds are big enough for everyone"

michael

Michael gave a shrug, knowing that Gabriel would be okay, but he couldn't help but worry. His brother was rather rash and impulsive. He could get himself into a lot of trouble. Michael knew he could do nothing but worry, so he tried to put him out of his mind for now.

He watched Prince get some supplies, and then get the horses. Michael was thrilled. He hadn't ridden a horse in a few years, so he was happy they were traveling by horse. He went up to one of the chestnut ones, letting it sniff his hand, before striking its mane.

He smiled slightly, "I can ride" he said, as he stroked the horses neck, for now having ignored Princes question, but he had blushed. Right now, he focused on the horse, and said softly "I...just don't do well with eye contact. Or any type of contact, really. Makes me nervous. Like if I do something wrong, I'm going to get hit. It's happened before" he gave a shrug, still looking at the horse

jarvis

JArvis listened to Gideon, letting him talk it all out. "im sorry, I did a bad job explaining things, didn't i? Well, we offer rooms here for a percentage of your earnings, and as for jobs, you can take any job on the board as long as it doesn't bave S class, and tell me about it and then accept it. You do not need permission. You can form a team, or just partner up with people"

[Zarkun]

Damian Gerard|Phoenix Wing Guild Hall

Damian was just about to take a drink of the water he'd ordered when he realized she was right. On top of that, he didn't particularly want the whole guild in on the tricks he was going to be working on while training with Penny. After thinking a moment on the subject, he came to a decision. "Well, you're right, there won't be enough room for all of us to train at the same time and none of us can afford to be waiting for our turn." He took another sip of his water before continuing, feeling Durandal's weight on his back.

"So, once we're all done here at the guild hall, I say we head out towards Mount Hakobe, do our training out there. Plenty of space and no one to get caught in the middle." He smiled at her, hoping she'd agree with his assessment. Plus it would give them different elements to train in, sunny, rainy, snowy, and a couple of others. He looked around the guild and noted that a few of Team Phoenix Wing had already left to do some training. "Plus, it could double as a vacation. Mayt'll still be here anyways, so let him be the S-Class rep for a while."

[Burthstone]

Iron Engima Guild Hall

After Nero had incapacitated the first couple of individuals, the rest of Iron Enigma would move away from him and his partner, and continued their conversations elsewhere. The S-Class wizards of the guild were easy to pick out. Cathris was back in her white-and-gold robes, her hood pulled down. Mark Zerrit, dressed in plainclothes, and he had a necklace with five emblems hanging from it. He was talking to a blond-haired man who reeked of blood to the point where it'd be a surprise if he didn't bathe in it. This particular individual was Grant Vale, and you'd never be able to tell he was in fact, Melina's little brother. He stood at six foot three, and his wife-beater showed an odd tattoo on his shoulder, which matched Melina's perfectly.

After a moment a man with blue hair stood up and cleared his throat, attracting everyone's attention. Judging by how he holds himself, and how immediate the attention is, the man is clearly the guild master. "Greetings everyone! As you've probably noticed, we have a couple of guests here from Phoenix Wing, so don't bother unpacking those suitcases just yet." A collective groan rolled across the crowd, and several shot Nero an unhappy look, but the Guild Master continued. "However, I see no harm in letting them hear who we're sending to the magic games." A couple faces looked up, hopeful, and the two male S-Classes went back to their conversation. "Mark Zerrit, Serma Cathris, Grant Vale, and Jacob Conners. Our backup member will be Deyja Bult, whenever he gets back." There was some cheering for the non-S-Class wizard that got in, and the three S-Class didn't seem at all fazed that they had been chosen to go. They were their guild's best after all.

After a bit, Grant went over to Nero and put his hand on his shoulder, his grip firm but loose enough that he could escape without much trouble if he wanted to. "Hey, Phoenix Winger, you probably should leave before something breaks out. There's not exactly a lot of love after how Luna was treated when she was asking around for my sister." His voice was very firm as well, but what would be more likely to draw ones attention was that he reeked of blood. So much so that one would be amazed if he didn't bathe in it regularly. The smell was enough that it should drive every animal in half a mile directly towards him, or away.

Mithera -- Phoenix Wing

Mithera seemed to giggle a little at Zenoram's initial reaction to her appearing on his head, but when he mentioned Karn, she looked up and watched the little blonde going on about what he was doing. "Well... I wouldn't be useful in a fight either. So I'll let you decide of we go Zenoram." She settled down on his head, moving her head out of his line of sight and sitting in an almost sphinx-like manner on his head. After a moment she muttered something along the lines of her voice being too girly, and that she should change it some to make it not quite so girly.

Gideon gave a nod to the his new guild master. "Thank you Master Jarvis. I'm going to head over to the board and snoop about. Might be able to find someone that I might be able to do." With that he nodded once more to Jarvis and thanked him. He then left the Master to his workings and headed over to the job board. It was a simple board but it was covered in sheets of jobs listed from all over. Two caught his eye but of the two one drew him in.

Magic Bracelet

Description I have lost my magical bracelet. I've tracked it to the island of (To be inserted). Without this bracelet, my family will surely perish. I have already tried to retrieve iit myself, but the island is full of monster. Pease, find this bracelet! It's been in my family for generations!
Requester: Terra Lupota
Reward: 250,000 jewels, and a magical item

He was a sucker for magic items. Besides his weapons he had a few other magic items that he had left at home. Just minor things but the still loved them. No magic items where allowed back in his old house where his parents lived so he was drawn to them like a moth to the flame. Studying over the item he became lost in thought wondering what it could be. Maybe the item was a weapon. Those were his favorite but anything would do. What if it was a really great magic item. He wondered what type of power it may have. Staring into space he was oblivious to anyone around him he wasn't sure what to do next. Usually he just headed in what direction he felt something calling him. Maybe he had to run it by Jarvis first? He wasn't sure yet again so he continued to stand there in front of the board and think.

Karn
Fiore || Magnolia >>> Hargeon Town

Taking another breathe of confidence, Karn transformed into a fairly large bird and took flight into the sky. Flapping his wings and heading toward the direction of the fishing town. Hopefully, it wouldn't take him too long by flight, but it would give him enough time to think things over at least. After all, he'd have to play the role of Maddox. Otherwise, he couldn't help the job requested, for he probably would just pretend he didn't exist.

Prince
Fiore || Shirotsume >>> River Town

@Oblivion666@Caits

Prince tipped his head as he listened to Michael's before laughing a little. "Happens all the time to me. Never seem to get tired of spreading my love. And of course, if you did make contact with me. I would definetly hit on you my dear." Prince chuckled, teasingly missing Michael's cheek before mounting the horse and grinning a little.

"So wanna sit in front of me or behind me? Or convince Zeph over there to let you have the other horse all to yourself?" Prince asked with a amused grin.

Thor

Frenzy Fort

Zander - Edith

Thor spectated the fight between the new recruit and the C-rank wizard. The fight looked very one sided however, the new recruit was likely a B-rank or even an A-rank if Thor had to judge on him. He even fought with a weapon they gave him at random. It made Thor wonder how much experience this guy had with the weapon he used. The fight ended with a formidable win for Thor and it made Thor nothing but give a small smile under the cloak. It was however a downer that he didn't intend to go have another fight to easily become an B-rank wizard. Thor gave a shrug and focused their attention back on Zander who already had picked a fine opponent. Thor glanced over to the spot he was talking towards and saw the girl with her instrument. The girl likely used magic that had something to do with music so no psychical attacks were to be expected from the girl. Thor walked over to the other line that was facing the girl with her long cloak trailing behind her.

Before Thor reached the line Thor passed the other new recruit and gave a small bow with their head at the person without saying much and just keep on walking. Once Thor arrived Thor didn't flinch nor make any fighting poses and waited for the ready signal. It would probably only take two or three hits before the opponent would be down. But after that she would have to face another opponent to head towards rank-B. Before that Thor will first have to win against this girl without doing all to much damage to her. If she used to much of her powers she can likely leave several burn mark and that was not what was intended. Thor's plan was not to show what magic they used yet to surprise the opponent with swift movement and land an attack as fast as it was doable.

Ayame

Iron Enigma HQ

Nero

Ayame had been traveling with Nero mostly the past two weeks. It was either go with Nero or stay in town doing her usual things. What wasn't much of course so it was pretty obvious which path she was gonna chose. Ayame had made up for acting like that the other day and they were both good friends again. It was still a little weird however how she suddenly got so close to Nero. It had only been two weeks and they were already pretty much besties with each other. They were on their way to the dark mage guild Iron Enigma. Ayame didn't know the specific reason to why they were going there and to why they were doing so much research about it. The only reason for her to join Nero on his journeys was Nero himself.

She trailed behind the Grande Curse Mage Nero holding both of the straps of her backpack tightly as they had gotten closer to the guild. Her small backpack was made out of the curses of Nero so she could take her belongings with her. Although she didn't have much belonging there was still a stuffed bunny and a jacket stored in the backpack. Two things she absolutely couldn't leave behind. She did hear something about the guild like it wasn't like Phoenix Wing at all but more for bad purposes. Some people were tainted enough to join these kind of guild. Why would they possibly want to join a dark guild in the first place. When Nero started talking to Ayame out of the blue it took her some time to get out of her thoughts before replying back to him "Huh.. Oh. uh... Y-yea" She gave a nod at him at the same time she talked as they walked over towards the front of the dark guild. Her feet were slightly trembling once they walked into the guild and she was of course standing on the usual spot. Safe and sound behind Nero.

The first thing that immediately came to mind that the inside somehow connected to Phoenix Wing. O wait no it was almost an exact replica of the whole thing. She blinked a few times and looked around only cowering more behind Nero after seeing all the attention they got from the guild members. Nero had already cause trouble the first second they walked in. He changed one of the members at random to a silkworm and even threatened to crush him. Ayame had a disgusted face as she thought about how he was seriously going to do that kind of thing to a fellow human. She looked up at Nero as he said to her to act strong. How was she suppose to do that? She didn't look strong, her personality was even worse than a 5 year old and she didn't even have the courage to try. If something was gonna happen she could always use her last resort of course. She hasn't told Nero of it yet but wondered if he had already figured it out that she could use magic.

They somehow ended up staying in the guild for several days with Nero and her going on some simple jobs. They didn't evolve much combat or anything just simple once really. And she could even get along with 2 or so members of the guild while still being shy of course and always staying close to Nero. Several times she had caught Nero laughing the tears out of his eyes and mostly she went mad at him thinking he was laughing about clothes or how she looked. They had gotten food in a fair way by Nero earning his own money on the jobs they got but she didn't knew if Nero used any ways to raise the money for both of them to have food everyday. Everyday the food was just enough for the two of them.

The two weeks went by rather quick after all and now she perhaps finally got a hold on what they were actually doing here. But why did Nero need to know about Iron Enigma entering the grand magic games. She stared up at Nero and happily replied to him after giving two quick nods "Yea you should try to do it. Maybe they even like you as announcer!" She gave a kind smile at Nero and stood still not doing much anything in particular but staring at Nero.
