[/hider] [hr] [color=f7976a]“Where did he go?”[/color] Willow grumbled as she waited impatiently for a response. She should have followed him from the inn but she really wanted to have a single night in and she regretted it. Willow hadn’t heard from Cecelia since her last transmission about the sub-classes and that couldn’t be good. She takes her eyes off these people for [i]one second[/i] and poof! They all scatter to the wind in a damn death game post death fight. Aura yawned and went to scratch her head, but had a dull realization that she couldn’t scratch through her gauntlets and settled for a grumble as she continued down the path towards the bridge. It was late and had she simply turned in for the night, she would have probably been in the warm embrace of her hot bath. Instead she clumsily shook off the last cold raindrops off her armour. Useless raincoat. Thankfully, the rain stopped as Aura approached the bridge, clearing her vision enough to spot a lone woman on the bridge, presumably messaging guildmates. Wait - Last Genesis? [color=ed1c24]“Evening.”[/color] Aura greeted with a wave, eager to take advantage of this chance meeting. [color=ed1c24]“You’re part of Last Genesis, yes?”[/color] Willow looked up at the question, looking confused as she cleared away whatever she had been typing on to give the newcomer her full attention. Willow didn’t immediately recognize the other but smiled anyways, the little crook of her eyebrows giving away the lingering confusion. [color=f7976a] “Um, yes? I don’t think I know you though. Are you looking for something?”[/color] [color=ed1c24]“Ah, sorry.”[/color] Aura said. Of course, Aura had always been a rather stringent member of the gaming group before Talrae, only filling in for a raiding group a couple times when there were certain sections that demanded a tank. It made sense that Willow would not recognize her, at least not within Talrae. [color=ed1c24]“I should introduce myself. My name’s Aura, real name Ciara. I am currently looking for a guild to join and I was informed that Last Genesis was looking for a member? Perhaps you could use a defensive-oriented Paladin?”[/color] From Aura’s brief glance at the inn, most of the current members were offensive or utility. She could use defense as a selling point here. Willow blinked at Aura for a few moments, clearly confused. How did she know even know anything about them? They hadn’t even considered how to handle moving forward after the last battle and someone already wanted to fill their vacancies. She felt a harsh pang in her chest and she wanted to cry but she swallowed her feelings and blinked away the prickling feeling at the corners of her eyes. There were still so many of them alive and with Karuu… She shook her head. She shoved those thoughts right back down and gave the other girl a weak smile. She had to make sure the rest of them could survive and that meant getting someone more equipped to handle a hit. [color=f7976a]“I’m not sure what kind of coincidence brought you here but we do need someone. I was going to gather our guild tomorrow and discuss but it’ll be easier just to see if they want to vote someone in then putting out advertisements. I’m not sure how well we’d compete with the larger guilds anyways.”[/color] Willow said.[color=f7976a]“Do you have anywhere to be? I would like to ask you about your experience outside of this hell hole but I want to pick up a few more spells since I have no idea where our Tinker ran off to. Walk with me to the Guild Hall?”[/color] [color=ed1c24]“There was a white-haired guy in Troodon who informed me of your guild…”[/color] Aura said cautiously. She could tell that the few moments of silence for Aura was not silent for Willow. Did she say something wrong? - No, she DID say something that hit a nerve, just what it was, Aura did not know. Perhaps they had another Paladin in their guild, and Aura’s suggestion had reminded them of their former comrade. Aura would have to tread carefully if that was the case; neither herself or the guild would want a simple ‘replacement’ to an old guild member. Aura would have to ask later, just not while she was a one-way stranger to these people. Aura gestured in a ‘lead the way’ manner. [color=ed1c24]“I was walking the same way. I wanted to pick up the subclass quest.”[/color] Well, she was actually hoping she could just return to the inn, but it would be better if she got something done in the meanwhile. Besides, Willow sounded like the most responsible one out of the group, if not a sane member. Aura would do well to get to know Willow first, especially if they were putting Aura’s entry to a vote. [color=f7976a] “One of our other guild members ran through the lightning to get there. Apparently she dodged it which means despite ignoring town safety rules, we can at least protect ourselves against it as well. Supposedly it’s a wandering monster that looks like Godzilla from what she said. I’m curious how a fight like that should go if you’re getting pelted with lighting every minute or so.”[/color] Willow explained her thoughts as she led them towards the guild hall. [color=f7976a] “As dangerous as it sounds, I’m excited to find out. Doesn’t that make me sound awful? [i]Sure, it’ll put people in a bunch of danger but I can’t help getting excited to take down something with such an intense mechanic.[/i] Thats what I get for raiding so long.”[/color] Willow laughed as they crossed the bridge, steadily making their way towards the guild hall. As they walked, a little creature zipped by outside. It couldn’t have been any taller than three feet but from the brief glimpse, it looked like a small dinosaur on two legs. [color=f7976a] “So tell me about yourself Aura.”[/color] Willow asked.[color=f7976a]”How much hardcore content experience do you have? Not having any is fine but we’ll have to take that into consideration when we are looking at training and such.”[/color] Aura understood Willow’s sentiment. A desire for disaster, perhaps. To be struck by danger, be beaten down to the very core of their instincts and tease out their truest moments, and then to claw their way back up and triumph over the apocalypse. It was a weird feeling, and a guilty one many people suppressed. But it sure as hell made them all human to want to be tested and proven. Aura herself thought that being trapped in a video game was a trial enough, but she understood how many would still pine for the coming of storm clouds. [color=ed1c24]“If anything, that will make for one hell of a choreograph, but you should be careful not to give devs ideas.”[/color] Aura replied with a faintly amused yawn. Aura lazily tracked the dinosaur, but didn’t care to chase after it as they kept walking. [color=ed1c24]“As for hardcore experiences... well, I did get trapped in a sewer with a bunch of oversized gremlins once, but that hardly counts.”[/color] Aura laughed almost like a bark. Sure, it was something the villagers gushed about for a few days, but it was a once-off thing with enough luck to overdose a gambler. She sure as hell wished it would stay as a once-off thing. [color=ed1c24]“Otherwise? I did a couple of raids but most of them failed. Random parties aren’t too coordinated you see. So just consider me relatively inexperienced.” [/color] [color=f7976a]“Considering all the realism the devs decided to throw in here, that must have been disgusting.”[/color] Willow wrinkled her nose at the thought. She certainly would never want to jump in those. The stench would probably never come out. [color=f7976a] “We can work with inexperienced. Just don’t want to get you in over your head on the first few runs. Maybe I’ll snag a few people tomorrow and we can scout out a good training area nearby. Arena’s are all well and fine but nothing teaches you faster than having your ass knocked on the ground by a monster.”[/color] The guild hall loomed ahead, a small gathering of players surrounding Dracion that Willow bypassed as they spoke. Inside, a small line at the counter had the receptionists working hard as players picked up basic actions and spells. [color=ed1c24]“I’ll try to catch up soon, then. Genesis does sound like a frontier-type of group.”[/color] Aura nodded. Huh. Now that she thought about it, Aura’s motivation to join a guild in the first place was to be in the relative safety in numbers, plus the greater loot when participating in events and raids. If they were tackling hardcore content, then that effectively nullified the point of the greater safety argument, and she probably was better off in the bigger guild for the more loot, although she despised the idea of having to grovel for it. Aura yawned, tiredness now grating on her a little. Hell. It was too late for Aura to duck out now. And if she had doubts about this group, she could just back out, no harm, no foul. Plus, Aura thought idly as she shifted her shield arm habitually, hardcore content would probably have better equipment anyway - at least, better than the mediocre replacements she got from the merchants. [color=ed1c24]”Looks like we’ve arrived. I assume you’ll be looking for your Tinker?”[/color] [color=f7976a] "No, I'll get my line, pick up my subclass, and then go back and soak for a while. I'm worn out. I'll just lecture him tomorrow."[/color] She sighed as she got in line. She just wanted to relax and everything going on has been anything but relaxing.
