Hellsalem's Lot- The Transient Tranquil Park


The man looked at the two inquisitively before shaking his head, a frown on his face as he pulled his cellphone out and began to dial... Someone.

"Well, if you say so. I mean... That's what I would say if there weren't a few flaws in your argument. You state that most of your belongings were stolen, but parading around in something as unwieldy as that suit of armor in such a scenario seems counter-intuitive," he said, motioning towards Saber before continuing. "Let us go along with your argument that you most of your items were stolen once you arrived, including your money and phones. Why, then, would you send someone off with no way of contacting them in the case of an emergency? Why come to this park this early in the morning, when the logical course of action would be to file the report together? You are fit to gain nothing simply waiting around here. Furthermore, why would someone change into a costume when there are much more pressing things to account for, such as the retrieval of your stolen goods? There are a lot more things that come up as strange, though; for example, your first action was to ask me for a newspaper. When a person's goods are stolen, their first instinct is not usually one to search for news on current events."

With that, the man brought the phone to his ear and began to speak to the person on the other side of the line.

"Hello? Chain? I understand that you're a bit busy right now, but could y-"

Before he could finish speaking, though, a black-haired Japanese woman seemed to pop out of thin air, holding a phone to her ear as well.

"Done," she responded, ending the call and placing the phone in her pocket. "What's the problem here?"

"Nothing much, really. Could I ask you to go check out if there are any 'cosplay events' happening today? Also, can you check the precincts in the area for any people filing reports on lost items?"

"Alright. One moment, please."

The woman vanished for an instant, but returned about a half a minute later, shaking her head.

"Nothing of the sort. It is a Tuesday, after all; most places would have it on the weekends, I think. There precincts are also empty; the only ones inside are the officers on duty at the moment."

"Figured as much," he sighed, shaking his head before turning back to Shotaro and Saber. "It's not good to lie so blatantly, especially in this city. Now, could I ask you for your real reason for coming here? We've got a lot of problems on our hands already, but we'd rather not add one more onto the stack."

Meanwhile, Satori had barely managed to stabilize and had just taken a few deep breaths to calm her mind and her heart. Making a mental note to never try that again, the youkai girl turned to glance at the mess that Saber and Shotaro had gotten themselves into.
Well, so long as they didn't end up blowing up this place in the process, she wouldn't have any complaints for the moment. Such a peaceful place, even in what seemed to be a hectic city, didn't deserve such a fate.
Uh...

Well, we'll see about how that goes, I guess. I won't judge without the full picture, so.
Koji Darklight, Archer Extraordinaire


"The stage is set, and the conditions met. It's time for the hero to make his grand appearance!"

With a resounding slam, the doors the the Adventurer's Guild burst open, and light shone forth, heralding the entrance of the fabled Koji Darklight! Everyone's head turned to face him, and the upcoming hero was met with rounds of applause!
...
Or, well, that's how it was supposed to go in his head. Instead, when he had slammed the doors open, everyone turned to him with a look of confusion. Not... Quite what he was expecting. Oh well, they would learn in time.

Undeterred by the lack of any grand response for his splendid appearance, Koji confidently strode forward, up to the receptionist at the front desk... Who, well, seemed to still have a look of confusion on her face.

"Er... Yes, hello? May I help you?" she asked, still unsure of what to make of the situation. Koji laughed softly, his hand covering his mouth making the action just slightly less apparent.

"Yes, you may help me. I, Koji Darklight, would like to register as an adventurer in this fine establishment! Even the strongest of monsters shall bow at my feet after I am done with them!"

Shouting the last statement out loud, Koji struck a pose with a flourish, brandishing his two crossbows theatrically as he waited for a response.

The receptionist simply blinked her eyes before holding up a finger and bending behind the counter. A soft giggling could be heard along with the rummaging of paper before she came back up, as straight-faced as ever.

"Okay. Well, just fill out this paperwork and return it to me, and we can have your guild card ready soon after," she responded, handing him a stack of twenty or so sheets of paper alongside an inkwell and a quill pen. "There's a seat over the-"

"What in the name of Trevyan is this?! A contract with the devil?"

"...No, sir. It's just a contract and some forms asking for your infor-"

"I cannot simply bow my head to the demon lord! Ah, but such is the fate of the tragic hero, is it not? Fallen to darkness to save the world? Very well, then! I accept this deal, and so may my fate be sealed henceforth!"

Sheathing his weapons, Koji took the stack of papers (and inkwell and quill pen) and hurried on over to the table the woman had pointed out, carefully reading the documents for any sort of possible fraud, corruption, loopholes, or other such things to be expected from such an unjust deal.
@Jedly: Should be fine. Accepted.

...

I should get to work. One moment, please.
@Jedly: Yeah, apps are still open.

Speaking of which, I'll get smth up later. I swear. =3=;;
So, uh, since it's April Fool's Day, I'll be starting off the RP in a few hours.

Because, like, seriously, this is the perfect time to do that. No joke.
Blaah college decisions and having to deal with family breathing down my neck ate up my day today. Finally able to evaluate forms.

Well, @Vee, @Jinxlynx, as I stated earlier, you two are basically accepted. Just wanted some insight earlier.

@RolePlayerRoxas: You're good to go.
Probably not at all. It'll go along steadily to the base, so you're free to walk. It's just more comfortable to kick back and ride for the little people instead.

Probably.
@eemmtt: Okay, uh...
I was kinda hoping that all the grammar would get fixed in there... Well, at least enough to make it coherent to the point where others could read it fluently. I can get the gist of what's being said, yes, but only a very very vague gist. Furthermore, a lot of things are still left unexplained, and it's getting to a point where it's a bunch of in-world jargon with vague rambling attached to it instead of just jargon.

As it stands, I can't accept the character, mainly because of how this RP works. If people aren't clear and concise with their definitions, statements, arguments, and descriptions, then it makes a huge mess of things because nobody understands how things actually work aside from the person RPing the character, and that only serves to muddy the waters even more because of the nature of conflicting explanations and further clarification, which in turn leads to a deadlock until things get sorted out. This becomes especially volatile in crossover RPs like this one, where things from different worlds are already coming into conflict and may not abide by the same rules.

I might be extrapolating in a direction that might not ever come to light, but the high likelihood of it happening coupled with what you have written leads me to believe that it might negatively impact the group as a whole. I'm not writing this to be mean, but this is just how I view the situation, honestly.
Did you? Shoot, my bad lol.

Well, still, my question stands.
