[h2][color=darkturquoise]Devon the Totodile[/color] and [color=cadetblue]Brick the Poliwrath[/color][/h2][b][Glyph's Guild - Spare Room][/b] [@Ninian][@Shiny Keldeo] Drumming a finger towards Selena, Brick nodded and grunted. [color=cadetblue]"Teamwork is an aspect of it. As well as precision. But no, the greatest skill an Explorer can have....is understanding."[/color] Pulling his arms out from behind his back, the Poliwrath reached out his hand to show the four Explorers a rolled piece of paper gripped in his fist. [color=cadetblue]"Working as a team requires one to learn about and understand their partners. Having precision demands that you understand all of the factors that could effect your actions and figuring out how to deal with them. And, even courage, requires understanding a situation, knowing what the task is, and pushing oneself to complete it without fear. You can only get better at this one skill, by applying it."[/color] Unfurling the paper in his hands, the Fighter pointed proudly at the scribbled writing and large 'Help Wanted!' text at the top of the page. [color=cadetblue]"This, is your first official mission request. All you need to do is deliver a bag of fruit to a Chansey named Aloutette in Gerudo Town, just west of here."[/color] Devon seemed a bit caught off guard by the sudden job, staring up at Brick with confusion. [color=darkturquoise]"Our first job? Already? Well, it seems simple enough. We can do it."[/color] [color=cadetblue]"Course ya guys can, but this is gonna be the [i]real[/i] training. You'll be learning the ins and outs of Guild work, surviving in the desert, and surviving in a dungeon all in one go. We usually call these little training sessions 'The Gauntlet'."[/color] Reaching out to grab an over sized orange out of the basket, the Poliwrath brought it up to his face. A tiny mouth forming under his eyes just for a split moment to take a chunk out of the fruit. [color=cadetblue]"Now, unless you guys got any other question, we're gonna power through another lesson or two, then we're gonna get out there and get into the thick of it."[/color] The Totodile's slit brown eyes went wide, his maw going agape at the sight of a Poliwrath actually eating. Blinking, he shook his head. [color=darkturquoise]"Uh...I don't got any other questions. Not any more at least."[/color] [h2][color=MediumSlateBlue]Raiden the Feraligatr[/color][/h2][b][Glyph's Guild][/b] [@Shiny Keldeo] As the seemingly uninterested Luxio discussed his rather vague feelings about the world around them, the Feraligatr's gaze lingered on Fuse for a moment, before turning back to the cork board. [color=MediumSlateBlue]"Yeah, maybe."[/color] Letting out a rather loud yawn and showing off rows of razor sharp fangs, Raiden reached his arms in the air to stretch. [color=MediumSlateBlue]"Anyways, do you know if Pyrrha is awake yet? I wanted to talk to her."[/color] [h2][color=coral]Stein the Scizor[/color] and [color=thistle]Teth the Nidoqueen[/color][/h2][b][Folio Town - Outside the Guild][/b] [@Shiny Keldeo] The smile quickly began to fade from Teth's creamy muzzle as the Absol went on. Standing back up straight, the Nidoqueen crossed her arms and looked away with a bitten lip. [color=thistle]"Oh....well. That does sound rather dire..."[/color] [color=coral]"Teth."[/color] The Scizor next to her suddenly spoke up, causing her to quickly look over in surprise. Stein tapped his claw on the frame of door a bit, before standing aside. The Nidoqueen copying his actions. The metal bug looking down at the urgent faces of the duo with a cloudy gaze. [color=coral]"Go right in, but don't be surprised if you've already been beaten to the punch."[/color]
