[color=gray]Chaos. 

The room had exploded into outrage and threats, both verbal and physical. Some were slinging insults like how a monkey slings dung, and Willow was at a loss as she watched the crowd with a worried expression. True, Willow [i]did[/i] just tell them that they had died, but she had not expected a reaction just like she experienced. Still, it was her duty as the staff head to keep people under control within the guild's headquarters, and Willow had no wish to be a witness to the glowing fists radiating an icy mist in the behind the group as they argued.

Coughing loudly, Willow attempted to draw the attention back to her as a short [url=http://i.imgur.com/g15JdPa.jpg]girl with feline traits[/url] stepped forward, standing beside the staff head patiently, although she seemed to stare down the angry swordsman with an intense cold glare. A number of small tablets, similar to those that archaeologists find in ancient ruins. Each tablet seemed to glow with streaks of blue, as if they had built in LEDs inside that shined through little cracks.[/color] [color=pink][b]"Well, that was an experience. Not everyone believes me when I tell them of their demise, but I've never had someone react like that!"[/b][/color] [color=gray]Willow explained, turning her attention to those who had asked questions in the midst of the loud fighting and shouting.[/color]

[color=pink][b]"I'm afraid that we have no knowledge of someone being able to return to their former lives, Ysran. There may be a way to be resurrected and return home, but to anyone's knowledge--even the Guild's knowledge--there doesn't exist a way to return."[/b][/color] [color=gray]Willow replied to the elf that had asked the question. Ysran had been silent the entire outburst, and Willow was thankful that he hadn't joined the argument, but she was also disappointed that she couldn't give an answer that he might preferred.

Now looking at the dragoon, Willow nodded to his question.[/color] [color=pink][b]"You'll be working in groups determined by the tablets my friend has in her hands. Each have been programmed with useful statistics and data for your time in Alcone, and they'll also determine which of those seated next to you will be partnered together. Each has a number that will light up for a moment, and whoever has the same number will be in a group with you. If you remember drawing sticks or numbers for partnerships, then you shouldn't have any issue."[/b][/color] [color=gray]Willow explained to Hans with a motion of her hand, signalling to the girl to pass out the tablets to the group. Mark was still received with the cold glare as she passed the tablet to him, making it evident that she had quite the attachment to Willow and held a grudge against the swordsman for his earlier threats.

While the girl was passing out the tablets, Willow looked to the elf that had been quickly targeted by the swordsman who had threatened to cut off her ears.[/color] [color=pink][b]"Yes, you do have a family, but allow me to ease your worries."[/b][/color] [color=gray]Willow explained, alluding to the frantic conversation the elf had with the half-elf sitting nearby.[/color] [color=pink][b]"I'll be frank. As our swordsman demonstrated, not everyone believes they died. The townsfolk, unless they happen to be in a situation like you, will refuse to believe you. They might even label you off as insane depending on who you talk to."[/b][/color] [color=gray]Willow continued to explain, her words being the harsh reality of being reborn in Alcone.

Still, the staff head held up a finger, as if she had more to explain.[/color][color=pink][b]"However, to explain the sudden appearance of a large group of strangers, each one of have been provided a family through the magic that brought you to this world. You didn't steal someone's body, but the townsfolk seem to believe as if your parents have been here the whole time, caring for each one of you since birth. If you like, you can visit them with the coordinates that have been implemented in the tablet given to you."[/b][/color] [color=gray]Willow replied, glancing at a small pocket watch that ticked away around her wrist.[/color]

[color=pink][b]"I don't want to keep you all for much longer, but I still have to explain a few more things. I'm sure some of you may still have more questions than answers, yet I have to ask that all further questions be addressed later. We wouldn't want adventurers going out into the world without an idea what a quest is."[/b][/color] [color=gray]Willow finished, looking towards the crowd as she watched their expressions while they devoured what information she attempted to provide to their conflicted thoughts.[/color]
