"If you're trying to get a scoop on Green Guild tactics, stick it where it fits and out of my face pal,"
"Media isn't my thing so I'll see you around Red King. And trust me, you'll come around and see it my way,"
"Oh, and your glasses bimbo is here. Guess she's not dead after all. If you guys really want a news story, maybe focus on the girl who got popular in a week."

Well that was a bit rude, Caitlyn thought to herself, I wasn't aware I was dead or a "bimbo", and since when was I particularly popular? Caitlyn was about to wipe that smug look off his face when she spotted another girl in the corridor. She calmed down a little, and the nod of aknowledgement of her present was nice, reassured her that the mean things he'd said definitely weren't directed at her, even if they were the sort of insults she'd used to wind herself up. On the plus side he wasn't having secret meetings with the Red and Blue Kings. Crisis averted. Without Nagato there there was nothing really noteworthy going on, just Neutrals and "Enemies" chatting. Still information that would be useful to the green guild, but wasn't likely they'd divulge anything particularly important with her present. She could just head back to her room begin grinding to level 4.

"Oh, and come on down Caitlyn cause I know you're there too,"

Was she just hearing things or did the Blue King just call her Caitlyn? Caitlyn was aware she was there by the sheer quantity of noise Maribel had been making but she herself had been pretty damn quiet in the corridor, did she see her as passed the door? She wasn't exactly a stealthy build, it was possible. But first name basis with a rival King? Maybe she had become more popular this week. She didn't honestly know how to react, trying to find out what was going on in there really felt like a trap.

"Excuse me, but do you have business here? You're welcome to come in if you do."

Caitlyn stopped and turned, it would be impolite to try to have the conversation with the nice gentleman while running away. Do the right thing and accept the Blue King's call and the News Clubs invitation or leave for safety? Nagato would know. Caitlyn swivelled to check for her leader but he had already disappeared. She didn't actually have any business, she should simply say no thank you and continue but...

That nod.

It wasn't acknowledgement, it was a signal! The Green King would seem evasive if he didn't answer questions he definitely should have the answer to, but a subordinate could feign ignorance or simply refuse to answer such that the leader's authority wasn't undermined. Even if she didn't gain information from the visit, by her mere presence, she might prevent secure communication between the Red King, the Blue King and the newspaper. It was certainly above her station to act as the Green Guild's representative, but it could take a while before another member could show. She'd have to do it. Now to formulate an excuse. Caitlyn spoke boldly, however she could never fully mask the gentle tones in her voice.

"Actually I do, come to think of it, I did have a few questions concerning the festival from myself and the Gardening Club."

Caitlyn placed her bag under a table near the back of the room and joined the rough circle of people that had formed, attempting to not be too close or too far from the Kings. Caitlyn pulled up a chair and sat down; knees together, hands in lap. She was glad for the number of neutrals present, there would bystanders, reporters even, should anything kick off. Before she start getting her questions answered though she'd have to see what the Blue King wanted from her.

"Is there anything I can help you with at all, Miss Harper?" Caitlyn asked courteously.

Sorry, just slightly regretting not making my character more outgoing outside of DGO. Didn't think it fit the character, but I've realised I sort of need a character who can inject herself to the story as it in unfolds IRL. But then I also need a character who has been there the entire time and not been relevant to write about thus far so I'm all over the place about my character personality.

And I've only posted once and I'm already trying to work out how to keep her involved, its probably gunna sort itself out. :P

This Festival needs to allow for some character development to round her out and make some friends, I think, and its probably the place to do it.

Oh, I did have a question, are there still any other RPers that are part of the Green Guild that are active besides the King?

12 hours would be rushing it, to say the truth, IC posts are almost coming once a week, you don't need to hurry all that much, I think.

@KoL

That's a relief, was worried they're be days I couldn't get a post in, good to know this Rp has a mature pace.

Caitlyn sat back and wiped her brow with the cleaner of her two gloves as she admired her work so far. Rows and rows of adorable little flowers peeped back, they looked a bit rough now but it in a couple of days it would seem as if they'd always been here. Helping to get the school grounds ready for the festival was proving to be much harder work than she'd imagined when she signed up to the gardening club. She glanced breifly at the next spot, it was already dug but the potted plants were still in storage and her bag of soil was practically empty, she'd need to get another one of those too. Caitlyn pulled off her left glove to check the time. She'd been transplanting for much longer than she had intended, it didn't even feel that long ago she'd told Mayumi that she'd be finished[/i]. Oh well, time to get cleaned up. She hung up her overalls and put her tools back in the shed, making very sure to lock up properly after she'd finished.

Club activities done for the day, Caitlyn could retreat to the quiet of the girls dorms to finish getting the remainder of dirt off her and maybe squeeze in some time on DGO before dinner, she was super excited for hitting level 4 and picking a new feat, compared to the last level the choice she made was really going to define how she played. What she really should have been doing was brushing up on her Japanese, she'd been speaking Japanese just as long as anyone else here but she'd barely had the practice they'd have growing up. She could do it later, there would be time to test her vocab when everyone has signed off. Plus she really need to get those mats exchanged for EXP, they were no use to her while her-

Caitlyn turned down a corridor to find a pile up occuring in front of the News Club, complete with onlookers. Among them was Micheal Davis and Nagato-dono and even Miss Harper could be heard from inside, with others. Miss Harper had every reason to be there, she was a large donor to the club, but Nagato? Was he here to get an edge on the competition before he gave out his orders for the festival? Unfortunately it seemed as if she wouldn't find out, a member of the club was ushering them in.

Thanks to all the commotion that preceded her arrival she'd barely been noticed and once they'd all been gathered into the club she'd easily be able to just get on with her day, but then she wouldn't find out why 3/5 of the coloured kings were having secret meetings with News Club. She could try to inject herself into the situation, senpai didn't have much back up here, but that just lead to cringy, awkward moments she'd never live down. Her last option was she could eavesdrop, there was barely anyone left in the school building so she wouldn't likely get caught by a passer by, but if she drew the attention of anyone inside... She could pretend she was just messaging someone? It was too dangerous.

She'd just have to walk past pretending that nothing was going on, even though she desperately wanted in on it too.

Is the identity of the Green King known?

How far back do I need to read to know whats going on? Is there anything I can get involved with or should I start grinding?

Appearance (Real Life)

Height: 5'1"
Weight: 161 lbs
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Dark Grey
Name: Caitlyn Dunnst
Age: 17

History: Daughter of a wealthy family, Caitlyn had everything she ever wanted, except some peace and quiet. Helicopter parents was an understatement, Caitlyn's mother controlled her life up until she left for boarding school. Study, Piano, Tai-chi and meeting the kids of Daddy's clients dominated her time not leaving much time for anything. Caitlyn's parents did not approve of DGO, and were both firm believers in "doing it the hard way". DGO wasn't going to make you a great doctor, laywer or business woman, it was great if you wanted an easy life but an easy life wasn't a good life, with meaning or responsibility, according to them. It was a farce, only the top 1% really benefitted from playing and the RNG incorperated into the game meant there was no way of knowing who'd be successful this year. Better to just keep your head down and earn it. So Caitlyn kept her head down.

Shortly after her 13th birthday, her tiger mom's grip was loosened slightly by her little sister beginning to show that she was far more talented than her and so for the first time she downloaded, patched and signed in to DGO. She was alone, no longer surrounded by her overbearing parents, countless yes men and suck ups. Nobody knew who she was, she could finally be herself and make real friends. As Coins, Caitlyn spent the short amount of time she had to play the game RPing and chatting.

It wasn't until she was 16 and at boarding school in Japan did she learn to enjoy the game part of the RPG. A huge portion of the Student body played DGO competitively and her new friends got her interested in the mechanics and combos available in high-level play. Motivated, Caitlyn began grinding out levels, hitting level 3 recently.

Personality: Shy in person, but enboldened by her avatar. Highly intelligent, Caitlyn drawn to extra utility that the duality of the Witch Doctor archetype brings. Mischeivous, loves abusing her talents to wind up teammates out of battle. For a healer she's not very sympathetic or caring, however she is very good at what she does. Her jokes are often lame and tend to push peoples cringe buttons but she thinks she's funny, and so would her soulmate. Caitlyn hopes to do well in DGO, its a opportunity to do relatively little work for an even cushyier existence.

Done finally, hit me with your best shot! Changed the names of the ability to fit a cultist theme instead of a voodoo theme.

@ColouredCyan

Usually, I don't review non-complete CSs, since they are prone to change, anyway. That said, the abilities do look good for me. You may find it better to complete her and get the opinion of @TheWindel and @Lucius Cypher as well.

@KoL

Thanks, if the abilities are ok then they won't be changed at all.
