Eon Tower
Early morning
@PaulHaynek@Polaris North@Hammerman@Enkryption@Silverstein@The Irish Tree@Frozen0Titan@Rune_Alchemist@FrogRFlowR@Eviledd1984”Recruitment?” Grisha responded to Leon with an oddly amused expression.
”No boy, I’m afraid that’s not our purpose here. I doubt most of you would mesh well with our ranks. Although, some of you were once already from our sect.” He said, smirking a bit at Hector, then Elaine.
Tethys began to address the Fae boy next after Grisha.
”While I am a bit curious about you, boy, please pay it no mind for now. That will come later.” She said in a gentle tone.
”Let us focus on the task at hand.”I wasn’t expecting to meet individuals from the Wyland and Devaron families. Alex thought silently to herself.
The inspectors had eyed all of the new recruits with curious gazes, remaining silent as they all had stepped forward and gave their introductions. Some chose to remain silent, like the girl dressed in the strange yellow robes. Grisha noticed that she had some tentacles sticking out of her garb, confirming that she was also a Belua. She seemed to be purposely keeping herself in the background. What did she have to hide, he wondered? When everyone finished, Grisha put his eyes back on Elaine, who was the de facto representative for the Eon staff currently. Elaine responded with a flustered gaze, probably feeling that the inquisitor had something to say about the absence of the tower’s administrators.
”Elaine.” He started.
”There was a matter that I wanted to discuss…”Elaine let out a small yelp
”Please, accept my humblest apologies! I…honestly have no idea where Arteus and Brunhyldia are currently but-””I wasn’t referring to them, nor was I expecting them.” Grisha cut her off, the response made her and everyone else in the room dawn a confused look.
”I will explain in detail a little later. But, for now, just know that something special has been prepared for you all.””I…don’t follow. What do you mean, Grisha?””You can thank your directors for that. That’s all I’ll say on the matter for now. ” Grisha then got up and stood in front of the Eon magus.
”As part of the inquisition, we’re doing something more recreational, so to speak. This was something that was decided on due to the influx of new reavers Eon added to their ranks. Case in point, you all.” Grisha said, adjusting his glasses.
”Recreational?” Elaine responded.
”What do you mean?””You’ll be going to a neutral city near Flugell. The State of Cambridge will hold a joint summit consisting of both your team along with select knights from the Church. I’ll go into more details when the time comes, but for now just know that this will be an exercise that will test the capabilities and aptitude of your new members.” An annoyed and perplexed expression was then adopted on Grisha’s face.
”As such, this was something that both Selini and Irvin had agreed upon with the Church in advance. So, them not being here and having not explained it to you is rather…irritating to say the least.”Grisha motioned for the other two ladies to stand.
”In the meantime, we’ll be inspecting the other offices while we’re still on the premises. Please be sure to settle all of your affairs and finish all preparations before we leave, I don’t like excuses.” He said with a rather ominous tone.
”Elaine, why don’t I start with your office.” ”Sure, that’s fine Grisha.” She responded. Grisha followed behind her as she began to lead him to the medical ward.
”Vander, after I finish with Elaine, I’ll inspect Ms. Whitsett’s office next. Why don’t you take a look at the Alchemy Lab and the Greenhouse?” Grisha said to Alex. Nadia has silently followed Grisha and Elaine out of the conference room.
”Understood. Please lead the way.” She said, looking at the two oldest members of the Tower. She followed behind Childes and Bellum as they exited.
”I’d actually like to have a look at Mr. Luther’s…library. I’ve been quite interested in the grimoires that the Tower has acquired in its time.” Tethys said, shooting a glance at Kiff. The man responded with a surprised, almost flustered look.
”Oh! You, uh, mean me?” Kiff said in an innocent tone, cutely pointing a finger at his face.
”Do you know any other racy kleptomaniacs around here?!” Naomi said to him.
”How rude!”The banter between the librarian and the environmentalist was cut instantly as Tethys cleared her throat.
”I’d also like Mr. Hyksos to accompany us.” She said, beckoning Leon to follow them. As the three left the room, Tethys would look oddly at an empty corner of the room.
I certainly didn’t think YOU would find yourself here, Mr. Florestas. Fortunate that we would find you first. Damian could clearly hear that Tethys was projecting her thoughts directly into his, along with the fact that his attempts to hide his presence were meaningless before her.
The members of the staff left in the room were Naomi and Rana, the rest were the majority of the new recruits and the veterans.
”A joint exercise with the clergy? Things just keep interesting.” Roze said.
”Guess it’s best we start getting ready.””Right.” Rana said.
”I will need to remain on standby in case the inquisitors need anything. Naomi, I trust your office is also ready for inspection?””...Well, yeah, it kinda has to be…” She said with a weak tone.
”Hmm, sorry Hector.” Ruecian said, turning to the sniper.
”Was thinking that it’d be better for you to take it easy today, but looks like we got a road trip to worry about.” Lapis looked at the two with a curious expression, but before she could inquire she was pulled away by Evelyn.
”Come on, Laps!” She jeered.
”Those prostrating clowns want a show, we’ll give ‘em one! Gotta pack our bags.””Oww! Eve, you’re pulling too hard, stop!” Lapis whined as she was unwillingly dragged off.
Xashan sighed in frustration.
”Guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Scarlett and Lupina are nowhere to be found. Man, those two, I swear…” He said.
”Oh, and Florestas isn’t here either…””He hasn’t officially joined yet, though.” Roze responded.
The reavers were now free to make a few small preparations before they had to embark out. There were some concerns as to what Tethys wanted to discuss with Leon, and Elaine was acting rather strange. However, due to the nature of the inspection, that may not be cause for immediate concern.
There was also the matter of the missing administrators, along with some of the other new recruits.
