[b]Jessie[/b] [@hatakekuro] [color=f6989d]"Of course. Food is yummy." [/color]Jessie said with happy smile, as she bit into her piece of fruit.[color=f6989d] "And Drew eats a lot. And we can't just survive on pizza, bagel and doughnuts, not matter how much like heaven that sounds" [/color]She slipped a slice of orange in her mouth, and smiled around the skin. Drew gave a chuckle and shook his head at his sisters behaviour. "Well, choosing a guild is an important decision, but ultimately it has to be one you think you can fit in, and progress both yourself, and the guild itself. Both Pheonix WIng and Dragon Fang accept almost anyone, Frenzy plant needs an admission battle, and frankly a discipline that my sister is sadly lacking, if she means to join a guild with you. Tough love is a small close knit group, Iron Enigma is definetely not for you, and Riders blade is still under the council's radar, although they seem to have turned over a new leaf" [b]Sam Jamie jarvis[/b] Sam nodded, touching the crystal again, and studying how the lights moved to see if she could fiigure it out. [color=f26522]"We will always make time"[/color] Jamie promised, [color=f26522]"We have so far, and we will continue to"[/color] She said [b]Penny[/b] [@Zran][@Lunarlors34] Penny gave a shrug, [color=f7976a]"There are ways of testing, although the masters would be a better bet for that. As for joining, we can go down and sort that out now"[/color] Penny said, the weather didn't bother her, her own abilities enabling her to stay warm, but why waste energy? She opened the door to head down stairs, waiting for Aishling to go through, she gave a soft sigh, [color=f7976a]"I'm perhaps not the best person to be welcoming you right, but I shouldn't be projecting on you. I'm sorry." [/color] Aisling lead the way down the stairs as bidden by Penny. [color=00aeef]"Oh don't be, perhaps now is not the time and I'm new here but if you need some one to talk to I'm here."[/color] she said glancing back with a warm smile as they reached the landing. The hotel was bustling a few strolling the halls to begin their day, other resting with their doors ajar no doubt from their battles of the previous days. She smiled at them as they glanced at her curiously. They seemed to avert their eyes from penny though respectfully. Had she lost someone recently? [color=00aeef]"Nevermind all that for now what kind of magic do you use?"[/color] she asked curiosity glinting in her blue eyes. Out of the corner of her eye she realised penny had forgotten to close the door to the roof, Aisling raised her hands thrust them out toward it. A gust of wind blew down the stairs and slammed the door shut echoing down the corridor. Aisling winced at the sound. [color=00aeef]"Sorry I guess I had more left than I thought."[/color] Penny gave a soft sigh. The one person she wanted to talk to wasn't there, and while she had Ariel, Penny couldn't look at her without seeing Solias, at least for the moment. That shouldn't be a punishment for Ariel, and Penny would make sure it wasn't, but for a little bit, Penny needed to be away. [color=f7976a]"I have two kinds of magic. Fire magic, which many wizards can master if they are predisposed to it, and...and Phoenix Slayer Magic. Now that I have...that I have killed a Phoenix, I have a choice to make. Embrace the full magic a phoenix has, or continue as I have. No matter what, my magic will change. Its simply my choice if I wish to become..."[/color] Penny trailed off, wondering why she was even tellimg Aisling this. Shaking her head, Penny went over to the concierge desk, retriving the guild marker, she returned to the other girl, [color=f7976a]"Now then. Where would you like this and what colour?"[/color] Aisling was blown away by the slight mage girl being a phoenix slayer whatever that even was. But Aisling could tell in the way Penny spoke that killing the phoenix had been painful, she was close to it somehow. She didn't consider her words before speaking but there was wisdom in them. [color=00aeef]Well, just remember who ever gave you those powers wanted you to have them. Their time is over but you are not remember that they had hopes for you, that should make your choice clear. [/color] As she spoke penny produced the guild's mark a wing that remind her of something she'd seen before in a picture her grandfather had carried but not quite. [color=00aeef]"Hmm just like that?"[/color] She considered for a moment glancing down at herself her slightly dusty simple blue dress and similarly marred cloak, ankles showing above sensible walking boots laced up tight. [color=00aeef]"Blue of course, and how about on my ankle so it can be seen."[/color] As she took a seat on a nearby bench her stomach rumbled loudly, reminding her she had had little but crusty bread for the last few days and no jewel to buy any with, she remembered the key she kept in her bag. While Penny applied the guild mark she rummaged in her bag for it. She drew it out finally, it was marked with the seal of the Royal Bank of Fiore similar to the royal crest but behind it were a set of scales piled high with coin. Her grandfather had money and belongings from his soldiering years saved there perhaps she could use it now. It was much like Pennys' gift in a way she thought one she did not want to use but he would have wanted her to in any case. Penny didn't have the heart to tell the girl that Solias's hope for her had been not to turn into a Phoenix. One time...Penny would have wanted that too. Now...what if she died? There was just so much she had to live for now...that she knew if she died she would return as a Phoenix. Not much would change, not really. She sighed softly at her own thoughts, before apply The guild mark. [color=f7976a]"the thing about Phoenix Sing is we accept anyone. There is no need for testing, when we can help each other grow and become stronger"[/color] she said, managing a smile Aisling smiled back at Penny and admired her new guild mark briefly before considering whether to ask Penny to be her guide in the city. Aisling had been here before but that was years ago when she had been given over to her grandfather while he was serving as a Royal Guardsman and she held in a cell because of her budding magic it was only her grandfather's loyal service that had got her out but both were banished. [color=00aeef]"Well now I'm offically a member how about we celebrate and ignore our worries for a while with a good meal?"[/color] her stomach punctuated her words once again and she glanced at Penny embarrassed. [color=00aeef]"Any suggestions? But first a visit to the Royal Bank.[/color] She said holding up the golden key for Penny to see. [color=00aeef]"I don't know what well find but perhaps it will be enough."[/color] Penny knew she couldn't leave the girl to wonder around the city by herself, not with what had been happening lately. She wondered if she should just advertise herself as baby sitter. She rubbed at her temples, seeking to rid herself of the bad mood she found herself in, and let out a slow breath. She looked up at Aisling, and nodded [color=f7976a]"Food sounds good. There's some good places around here. We can find something, and perhaps somewhere close to the bank so you're not staved for too long!"[/color] she said, hoping to be funny. [color=f7976a]"I'm not actually too sure where the bank is, but we can check a map"[/color] She stopped, and said [color=f6989d]"I do have to check on a couple of people first. Give me a few moments"[/color] She wondered where she would find Jasmine, and Hesitating, started up the stairs intending on knocking on the doors too the rooms until she found her, but ran into her in the hallway. [color=f6989d]"Jasmine, I was just looking for you"[/color]
