Overlords. (Sarpedon/Sanquin)

Sure thing. And don't worry, I'm patient. :P

Hard to imagine that in the past, I started asking why the other wasn't posting after max two days of no post. xD

Overlords. (Sarpedon/Sanquin)

Oh by the way, I believe the plan had been to post a little more during the night, since it was still so early in the day in the rp. But I think we could just as well skip to the next day and get on with the fun stuff. Joining the adventurers guild and going on some questing shenanigans and all that. :P

Wanted to post more, but it's best if I leave the description of your character's home to you yourself.

Fairy Tail (Sanquin / EasilyAmused)

To Ansel's slight shock, his attempted teasing had the exact opposite effect of what he expected. She got closer and closer while looking more interested than embarrassed. And when her hand trailed up his chest he was the one feeling uncomfortable rather than her. Though once she implied that he was after doing 'fun stuff' with a girl he quickly got his bearings back. "I'm not interested anyway... Was trying to tease you but clearly that won't work. You're no fun~" Well, he did wonder what this whole relationship thing was about every now and then. But not enough to indulge in his curiosity.

A bed did sound nice though. Sure, he was used to sleeping on the ground. In fact, it was relatively comfortable to him as an earth dragon slayer. But nothing could beat a proper bed in the end. He wondered if that meant Taunie had two beds, or if she was actually going to give her bed up to him for the night though.

Ah great, thanks. :D

Yyyeeeaaa..Ansel wouldn't be backed against a wall of some kind. He wouldn't move an inch. His 'father' taught him to be as sturdy as a rock, and all that. :P He would still feel a little bit uncomfortable with her so close though...

Elder Tale. (Sanquin / EveIris)

The information about dying was certainly useful. But at the same time it was a bit depressing. Something about dying was apparently unpleasant even for them, who could resurrect. Was it even really dying what they did? Since their body got teleported back to the cathedral in the city. It only made Alakai suspect even more that dying in this world wasn't a simple respawn. The subject was quickly brought back to drinking though. Which was a good thing. Alakai took his mug and took a few gulps. It tasted like...well tasteless water. So basically like nothing. But at the same time there was that familiar warm tingly sensation in the back of his throat afterwards. So this definitely had alcohol in it.

The rest of the evening was mostly spent just drinking and talking a little more. Alakai didn't say much himself, and he carefully avoided talking about certain subjects. Mostly when they started asking questions about their previous life or their stats or how they planned to level after the dungeon. He only mentioned the ant farming spot he and Kali had been using to get to level 26 and 24 a few days ago. As they didn't need to go to that area any more anyway. And at one point Alakai indeed talked to the guild master for a little bit. Sungrol was curious about his tiger being able to think for himself as well, so they agreed to test it out in the near future.

And soon it was time to go to bed. It was Josie that decided to show them to their room. "This is it." She spoke as they arrived at the right door. "The other rooms don't have furniture yet, so you'll have to share this time. But I'm sure that won't be a problem right?" The woman winked at the two, suggesting that she thought the two of them were closer than they actually were. Immediately Alakai's face turned bright red, as he fully realised what Josie was thinking. "N-no! It's n-not like t-that! W-we just...um...didn't have m-money to spare!" It was true that they had been sleeping in the same room for quite a while now though.

And then things got even 'worse'. As soon as they opened the door, they could see that inside there was only a single bed. A two-person bed yes, but still just one bed. The man was speechless for a few moments as his mind battled to push the dirty thoughts away as best as he could.

Ansel's worries were quickly dismissed when Taunie said they'd still be leaving the next day. The way she trailed off made him wonder what else she wanted to say, but he decided it couldn't be anything bad. After all, a bad person wouldn't treat a stranger to good food and a potential place to stay right?

Once the crowd had gathered Ansel already wanted to leave on his own. He didn't feel like dealing with such a loud and energetic bunch today. Though it was Taunie that made the first move when she grabbed him and pulled him along. "Yea, I'm the Earth Dragon Slayer! If you want to talk come one at a time though, I hate crowds!" He called back to everyone in the guild as he was pulled along. Answering some questions or talking was fine. It was the large amount at the same time that was the problem.

Once outside Taunie apparently wanted to lead him somewhere. He wanted to ask, but once again she beat him to it. She was quite the pro-active woman to say the least. Quite the opposite of him most of the time, who'd rather do as little as possible most of the time. It was a bit of a surprise that she invited him to her place though. He was pretty clueless about women, but from what he had read a woman usually suggested she wanted to be more intimate. Not that he expected anything like that to happen. Not with someone like him at least. And he wasn't terribly interested in such things either at the moment. He still had his stepfather to find after all. Even so, he couldn't help but try to tease his new, if temporary, companion with it a little.

"Your place huh? Aren't you bold, inviting a guy you just met to your house? I read it was usually the guy making the first move~" He spoke with a slight grin, wondering if she would fall for it.

Alakai was glad that Kali took the lead. He was fine in parties and during their levelling. But social gatherings of this kind had always been his nemesis. In fact, he had only ever gone to one in his entire life. The man sat down beside his friend, and once they were offered drinks Kali started on introductions first. Though she kept it to superficial things. In fact, it was only game related things at that. Which was probably a good way to go about it for now.

"Well, as I just said, I'm Alakai, a monk." He started a little shyly once she was finished. "I picked cooking as profession because, well, it was one of my few hobbies outside of gaming that I had before all this. I've been playing since early beta, and know quite a bit about the game you could say." Right as Alakai was finished the youngest looking guild member raised his hand as if he wanted to ask a question. "Say, Um...I'm Helm, a Bard and Joan's younger brother." That immediately explained his younger appearance as he didn't look older than 14. "I was wondering...since your name is Alakai, are you that famous Alakai my brother keeps talking about? The guy from that top raiding guild in WoW said to be the master planner and raid leader for all of their raids?" Alakai suddenly perked up, his eyes looking at the boy in surprise. Sure he used the same name, but one of the reasons he started playing Elder Tale was to start anew. He didn't like all the attention his old guild in WoW had been getting. Even if it was just a bit of renown for being a top guild.

At that point a red-faced Joan came running towards his younger brother, smacking him up the head. "S-shut up bro! I-I don't talk about him that much! And a guy like that would never be here!" Alakai sighed, deciding that lying would get him nowhere anyway. Especially if they were going to join this guild it would come out sooner or later. "Ah...w-well...I guess I am...I'm not that great though, really..." He told the brother, feeling like he was getting too much praise for just being good at planning ahead. Though Joan's reaction was amusing to say the least. He stared shocked at Alakai, as if he had just seen his idol or something. "You...are?!" Joan finally exclaimed, still unsure of what to make of the situation.

It wasn't until June came from behind and smacked Joan on the back before he came to his senses. "Yo Joan! Stop staring and sit down okay? We're here to drink after all!" Joan cleared his throat, taking a deep breath and sitting down. "Well...uh...yea let's drink." Clearly the guy was embarrassed enough already about what had just happened, so Alakai at least decided forget about it and just move on. He didn't want that kind of attention anyway.

Valier sighed, shaking his head a little as he watched Ansel being indecisive while he was eating. "You know we could use the money, Ansel. Be a man and just do the job. Maybe we'll actually be able to afford our own food then next time." Ansel appeared to be ignoring his friend. Though this was only so he could finally finish his food. Once he was done eating he turned to Taunie. "I guess Valier has a point. Fine, I'll go with you. If it's just a get in, grab some stuff and get out it should be fine, considering I can first rest up a bit more." He fully expected for things to get out of hand and for them to have to fight their way out. That's usually how it ended up for him. But at least he would pretty much be at full capacity again by that time. So he wouldn't have any problems fighting.

However apparently the guild master had other plans. Ansel frowned, glancing towards Makarov before turning his gaze towards Taunie again. "What? First it's tomorrow and now you want to leave right away? Why can't we just go tomorrow?" Though before she could answer the other two dragonslayers finally decided to butt in. Right away they started asking about dragons. But he was just as clueless as them. "Seems we're in the same boat, Natsu, Gajeel. My dragon disappeared just like yours. And I've been looking for him ever since. So can't help you with that right now..."

Someone else in the guild overheard the three this time. Mostly because Natsu was always rather loud. "Whaaat?! You're a dragonslayer too?! We're going to have three dragonslayers in the guild? Everyone! The new guy is a dragonslayer just like Natsu and Gajeel!" Suddenly everyone turned their attention to Ansel. A lot of people got up, all of them heading to the bar to get a closer look. And comments started coming from every direction as well. "Woa, another draonslayer!" "We're totally going to be Fiore's number one guild without question now!" "He does kinda look like the other two." Ansel wanted to protest. He wanted to tell them that he wasn't a guild member. Or at least not yet. But he was drowned out by the energetic crowd forming around him. "Argh, so noisy..." He grumbled, wishing they would calm down already. To him, being a dragonslayer wasn't all that special after all.
