When the message blared away his slumber, he was rather perturbed at first as he lay staring at the ceiling groggily for a few minutes. Then he had a realization; [color=EFE589][i]Hold on, the Masters' Office? Ah ha! It's finally time! I knew they would select me for the mission![/i][/color] With that thought, he practically jumped out of bed. Without sparing a moment, Finlay grabbed his jacket and staff before rushing out the door, not wanting to keep the Masters waiting. As he jogged to the office, he used his free hand to tidy his bangs the best he could while letting his mind wonder about things; [color=EFE589][i]The ad said this would be an important top secret mission; I can't wait to hear what kind of task it will be. I wonder what the other people selected for the team will be like. Knowing myself though, I'm sure we'll get along great! I'm sure the Masters made their selections very carefully, and didn't choose anyone untrustworthy like that monster Mana.[/i][/color] At this thought, he had arrived outside the door to the Masters' Office. Taking a brief moment to calm his breathing and collect himself, Finlay cleared his throat before opening the door with care. [color=EFE589]"Greetings, I believe you called for me?"[/color] He spoke as he entered the room with a calm smile, giving a courteous bow to the Masters. Upon looking around the room he noticed that there were 4 others that had already arrived, and when the Masters acknowledged his greeting and directed him to a set of 8 chairs he realized they were still waiting on 3 others. [color=EFE589][i]Well I may not have arrived first, but at least I'm not the last one to keep everyone waiting![/i][/color] He bowed once more in acknowledgement before taking a seat, looking around at what appeared to be his party-mates; [color=EFE589][i]Hmm... an experienced-looking gentleman that seems a bit older than me... he should be quite reliable! A pair of girls that seem to already know each other... good! It's always good for there to be positive chemistry in a group of comrades. And finally a boy who looks to be related to one of the girls... oh my! Those are some intense scars! And are those prosthetic limbs?! Seems he's been through a lot, but it looks like he's fairly sturdy nonetheless. This looks to be an interesting group![/i][/color] He looked forward to the task they would be given, and to learning more about and working with his fellows within the group.
