Azure Dragon!

Sophia blinked in surprise a few times. Wait a minute... was he just letting her pick the first mission? She was going to say it's okay and that he should take something he likes first, but before her dry throat could muster up any words, young Kerenza swooped by, her chin held high as always. In a way Sophia admired her. She was so young, yet held such potential for a mage and had such confidence, such power. The exact opposite of the inky mage in every possible category.

But she didn't stay there with her head down for long, as she heard Orin's voice. She didn't believe it at first - he was her big bro, but it still felt like such an honour to be taken on a mission with him. Her entire face lit up, making her look more like a young lady than she was suppose to be, than a sickly bookworm she usually resembled.
"Oriin! Would you really take me on a mission with you?" She exclaimed happily, wrapping her hands around his neck and giving him a playful hug. Well, if you could call it that, of course, as she was more or less dangling from his neck.

"Kaldis! Yes, please come along - if you want to of course! It would be great if you joined us." Sophia beamed at the wood mage, whose deer ears she found to be just too cute, but that's something she's never admit out loud. Maybe write. Maybe.

Just then she remembered Jynmi. Orion and Kerenza would make a grand team, one making spirits and the other weapons, but Jynmi had no one so far. She slowly let go of Orin, and took a few shy steps towards him, tugging on his coat. "Jynmi... would you and Lemmy maybe by any chance, possibly like to come along? It won't be too difficult if there are more of us and the pay is still good, even if divided on five parts."

Just to make sure whether or not she was doing the right thing, she looked back at her big bro with questioning eyes. "Would that be okay, Orin? They're a little new too and Lemmy says he needs a lot of practice... It's a job that is nearly S-class too..." With that, the Inky mage gave her brother the best puppy eyes she could muster. Manipulation wasn't her virtue, but every small sister with an older brother simply must master the art of puppy eyes. It's a survival technique, no doubt.

Yep! :DD

Also, don't think I'm giving us free armour, low level sword and shield can actually be found at the monument ;]

"Hmm?" Veronika turned back to her, raising an eyebrow. She didn't even realize how happy she felt. In all honesty, she didn't feel like this, this kind of happiness in ages. "Well..." She started, but couldn't exactly put what she felt into words.
This world confused her and how she felt about it confused her too. "...I guess you could say that. But don't get any ideas, it's not like it's because of you!" She quickly recovered upon noticing how playful she's been acting. "It's just now very good for a lady to be upset. It gives you wrinkles, you knooow" A quick made up excuse, what else did she expect from herself.
A tiny bit of guilt nibbled at her. Why couldn't she just admit that she way genuinely happy? Moreover, why was she happy in the first place, being stranded here in the middle of nowhere with no potential escape.

"A-anyway, we're here!" She chimed, trying in vain to hide the quiver in her voice. The noble stopped right underneath the monument that reached far up into the sky, looming over them like a mighty, scary figure. Looking around it, she noticed it was nothing but a long pillar with a flag on the top, surrounded by many small ones. No signs, no readable inscriptions aside from something that read along the lines of 'GJUKAR' or maybe 'GIOKAR'. One couldn't be sure, as the many years and climates deformed the monument's stone and with that, the letters inscribed in it. Just then she noticed a shield and an iron sword resting at its base along with some flowers that people must have brought here to honour the dead.
With her foot, Veronika lightly poked at the sword, making it slide off the shield with a rusty sound. "Uuugh... that looks heavy..." She groaned, not paying it any more attention than that, but instead beginning to look around for anything else that might be useful.

Azure Dragon!

Beer song has my attention :D

You sure live up to your name, IRISH!

I wouldn't say so, honestly... which job did Mex even take? (they're listed on the 1st page) The RP didn't really move that much since you last posted. Unless Mex did an entire job in 2 minutes while the others were checking them out. xD
Aslo, we got no insight into what happened on her job? Who says that what you'd find at the job would be really what the job offer tells you? You know how some jobs in Fairy Tail tens to escelate beyond what they're originally meant to be or twist in an entirelly new direction?

This isn't a speed-posting RP, so one day of posting doesn't equal to one day in the rp ^^

Azure Dragon!

As the guild was announced opened, Sophia could burst with excitement and pride, but of course, as a proper lady, she didn't show much on the outside. Only a peculiar sparkle in her black eyes told the tale of her growing love for the guild.

With Beatrix patting her head, she felt a small blush creeping over her pale cheeks. "T-thank you mo-Master." She half-muttered with a soft smile on her face. It was reare for her to get praised, so the guild master must have been either already tipsy or really pleased with ther.

Looking over at Jynmi, she could tell he must have been a bit uneasy, so she secretly scribbled a couple of words on the bar and then flicked them over to him, so that they travelled over the flat surcafe over the bar, to the floor and under Jynmi's legs. The message was short and simple; Don't worry

Deciding that she might as well take a second look at all the jobs as well, she saw Orin already taking great interest, his eyes constantly darting back to the S-classed one. "Ooorin~" With that, she waltzed over to him and tugged on his arm. It took all of her meager weight to even raise the interest of the big bulky guy. "Do you already see a job you like?" She read through the titles, stopping specifically at the S-class one. It would be fitting for him, yes, but she wouldn't dare to go for anything like it... "Are you... are you already considering the S-class one?" A worried expession formed on her face as she read the description. Absent-mindedly, she scribbled 'sit on my right shoulder' into air, sending the command to wher two birds who obeyes instantly, the two of them now motionlessly occupying the ink mage. As she thought about the jobs someone like her, someone as puny and unexpirienced, someone as useless and weak and... all of that... could touch, her gaze travelled way up, to the Enchantment job. Well, something like that could be possible... least she was in a team with someone. She dug her face in her hands, trying desperately to keep out the thoughts of 'who in the world would even be your teammate'. Whenever it was the time to take jobs or team up, her lack of confidence got the best of her.

A small smile that formed on Sophia's face could tell her adoptive older brother just how happy she was to see him. Las time she was left to deal with the nosy post man alone, she ended up being half forced, half persuaded into ordering 50 sets of air fresheners. Needless to say the Guild Leader was anything but pleased. At least the new Guild Hall was coated in wonderful fragrance of lavender now…

She mouthed him a silent ‘thank you’, before nodding approvingly to Jynmi and Lemmy who were discussing tea and running off into the grand guild hall with everyone else.
It was magnificent. For someone as small and simple as Sophia, it was like walking in a mansion. Her large grin threatened to split her face in two. She happily skipped over to her master, who was already sitting at the bar, that will probably become her usual spot in the hall.

“Yes Master, I’ll get right down to it~” With that, Sophia took out a thin black brush and scribbled ‘two birdlings’ and ‘paper pins’ on the edge of the table. Soon enough, a couple of small birds resembling finches, only that they were entirely black and white, appeared there along with a hefty amount of black paper pins. In mid air she swiftly wrote ‘‘use paper pins to stick the guild fliers to the job board’’ while focusing on how exactly the two birds were to do that. With a motion of her hand, her line of command swirled around the two motionless birds, its ink merging with their bodies. The command gave her creations purpose and with that, they flew up, one picking up fliers and the other sticking them to the board using inky pins.
Happy that she managed to get her magic right this time, Sophia swooped behind the bar to start the water for tea and pass out some drinks. If they were going to be choosing who the S-class mages should be, they could at least do it over a full cup. “So, what would all of you like to dri-“

She nearly choked on thin air when she noticed Lemmy heading in to ask the most ridiculous of all questions – who was the grand guild master herself. Sophia’s big black eyes tried to make contact with ghostly pale Jynmi, as she used her ink to write in air;

This is Beatrix Fairglaive, the GUILD MASTER

The writing floated above Beatrix's head and Sophia could only pray that she wouldn't notice it. Hopefully it wasn’t too late to inform the dol- ehem, Lemmy and Jynmi about her this...

Owoww... sorry for being around so little. I'm better now, so expect more posting :D

Also, notice how Veronika and all her paragraphs are all very 'me me me me'? As opposed to Alexa, who pays a lot of attention to what Veronika does and says. I'm actually doing the opposite on purpose, as the noble's mind is so egocentric, it will take her a couple of pages of RP before she stops to think 'Hey, how is Alexa feeling? What is she doing? Is she ok?'. This is just another bit where character development is bound to kick in.

"I'm fine, I'm fine! Geee don't cause such a fuss, people do this all the time, don't they?" Not very gracefully and with a flood of muttered curses she managed to somehow climb down to solid ground. Of course she made sure to ignore all help from Alexa. Heaven forbid she's let a peasant lend her a hand. Right after the noble’s petite figure came down to earth (the same couldn't be said for her head), some rubble rolled off of the wall as if to show how unstable the pile of rocks really was. For a moment, Veronika stared at the obviously crumbly wall she just climbed in silence, before flicking her hair back in a snobbish way. "I knew it was just stable enough for me to get on top of it. I had it aaaal figured out!" She smirked before heading in the direction of the tall monument.

"What are you waiting for? Come on, we need to get to some sort of city before the night falls." With that, Veronika trotted gracefully towards the landmark. Despite the cold of the previous night, the weather seemed to clear up. For once she couldn't help but to feel a hint of relief. It was the first time in her life where she didn't need to abide by anyone's rules first thing in the morning. There was no routine, no obligatory morning horse riding, no crazy old maids to stuff her in corsets that are two sizes too small. She was just walking towards the magnificent pillar not because anyone told her to, not because she had to, but because she genuinely wanted to.

With those thoughts in her head, the young lass couldn't help but to bring a little bit of a skip in her step. Remembering that Alexa was with her, she turned back to her, with a small smile on her usually frowning face. Looking at her companion, she noticed that she was still carrying the book they found on that corpse. "Say, are you going to hold that book awkwardly like that? Not that I'll carry YOUR stuff, I mean, I found it, but why don't you give it to me so I can have it in my purse and it won't obstruct us or get even more damaged." She opened her purse while saying so. Luckily se didn't have the smallest model; it was big enough to fit a book. And well, we all know how purses or females are - you can stuff in many more things than you may think you can at a first glance.

Azure Dragon!

malmshodes, I honestly find your posts entertaining enough to compensate for nearly a day of posting ='D Lemmy's just... awesome
Thanks for the head up though!

Also, I would have replied in IC by now, but I'm waiting for others to pipe in. We haven't heard from some at all, so I'll wait a little and hope they post.

Azure Dragon!

"Thank you so much Melody! Can you please leave them inside on the main table of the guil?" Sophia smiled gratefully at her pretty elven comrade. She always liked Melody for being so bright and easy to talk to, albeit being a prankster is she wanted to.
Grunting from down below caught her attention and she just then saw a wooden doll...that eer... claimed not to be a doll. Moreover it... or he told her to burn the pages. She was about to start panicking over what had she done wrong and if the white-haired mage wouldn't have interfered, she would have been brought to tears. "T-thank you. I'm sorry, I didn't see you before over everything I had to carry, I-" In embarrassment, she bowed her head, letting long black strands of hair slide over and slightly hide her face, but looked up again when Jynmi introduced himself and his doll... doll-like companion.

She quickly picked up the rest of papers and fliers, which she could now easily carry in one hand, since Melody has taken some away and there were also Jynmi and Lemmy who each held a stack. "I-it's a pleasure to meet you both! Let me properly introduce myself..." The Ink Mage offered her hand first to Lemmy (to compensate for ignoring him at first), then to Jynmi. "I'm Sophia, otherwise known as Inky and I'm Miss Fairglaive's apprentice. Now... I think the main hall is just about finished, s-so should we head on inside and I'll see if I can get you a drink before you run off to any of the missions?" Not being entirely used to them, Sophia's soft voice still quivered a little, as she was quite nervous around new members, but she did her best to be as welcoming as possible.
