Such a mixed cast is sure to bring only the most exciting of adventures! As she straightened herself from her bow, more people began to come by, and the guild's building began to be filled with life! How gorgeous! It was clearly a good choice to have come to this place. And, with the flow of people began some new introductions. [quote=Freyr][color=8dc73f]"Welcome to the guild. Just like Bast said, any question you might have you can ask either Bart himself or Neil."[/color][/quote] [color=lime]"I shall keep that in mind, good sire. Hopefully, we'll be great friends and steadfast companions."[/color] The phantom smiled at the Viera as her golden hues scanned him. It was uncommon to see a monster man so, while her features remained with that confident and amicable look, the surprise was evident. Not only was it the first thing she had seen a non-human male, but said man was also pleasantly handsome. Her eyes focused on his for a couple of moments before another voice took her attention. [quote=Ditzy] "Nice to meet you, Lady! I'm Ditzy!"[/quote] This short greeting was met with a contained bow in the shape of a nod, Vanessa keeping her hand on her chest. Her eyes lingered on the muscular male for a small while as she attempted to figure out what he was. Thinking about it, two monster males? That was certainly a rare sight. It'd be unbecoming from her to ask such a simple question after introducing herself as a member of the noblity, after all! However, fortune smiled upon her as someone else came to greet her arrival: a centaur woman. Quite a sizeable individual one could say, both in the centaur and woman aspects. If these were less civilized times, this woman would be praised as a goddess of hunt or something akin to that. [quote=Eilidh][color=9B1436]"Greetings. My name is Eilidh Chiron. Welcome to the Guild."[/color][/quote] Oh, how polite of her, to kneel down for a handshake! Under that amazon exterior was someone of class? Vanessa had to be honest with herself and admit she was expecting a less coherent sentence and perhaps some smacks on her collarbone to show her superiority. To such a greeting she could only reply in kind and, figuring that now was the correct time to do so, the phantom held the centaur's hand firmly and turned it so that the back was facing upwards. Then, she leaned forward and pressed her lips on her own thumb, which had been carefully placed as to not accidentaly lay a kiss on the woman's skin. [color=lime]"My many thanks for this warm reception, young miss..."[/color] However, there was something else that needed to be adressed. [Quote=Haley]"[color=royalblue]M-Maybe it isn't what it looks like, right? Right, Phantom girl?[/color]"[/quote] [Quote=Bart]"[color=f26522]Vanessa. May I know as to how your family is doing?[/color]"[/quote] And so, the situation had been adressed. She took a step back from the centaur to adress the siren and Bartholomew. Her gaze was cast downwards to the floor for a few moments as she worded the sentence in her mind. Her eyelids closed and the phantom sighed. What they would be thinking was plain in sight now, so she decided answered that. [color=lime]"... That is correct, sire. As of this moment, you are speaking to the last of the Blackbournes. The harbringers of our demise were a band of brigands, and only I was blessed with a second chance in the path of life. However!"[/color] The phantom shouted all of a sudden, dexterously twirling her cane on her hand before tapping it against the guild's floor, as if to signify a literal period on what she said. A hand went to her hip and the smile returned, perhaps brighter than before. Her tone shifted back to the one she used when announcing her entrance. [color=lime]"T'is not the yesterday what matters, but the today and the tomorrow! I've come here to take upon your invitation to my late father Arthur, sire Barker, and aid you in your noble endeavors! As of this moment I, Vanessa Blackbourne, declare myself a member of this glorious guild!"[/color] Perhaps it was an overdramatic gesture, but the phantom clearly wanted to avoid her own story bringing down the atmosphere.
