As the group approached and guards were ready to stop them, Lexus Dominiel was the first to speak up in an attempt to smooth the situation over that would arise. However, Danielle hardly thought shouting out "Guards!" as the first thing to come out of the NPC's mouth, was hardly a good start. The gaurds instantly became more weary of the rather handsome, yet androgenous, man who called out to them. Also, somehow the characteristic, humble, was not really something Danielle could see as a defining trait for any of them.
Two of the guards in the area came up and started asking questions, unfortunately they decided to focus their attention of Himitsu as she was obviously a demi-human. They also gave December a few cold stares when they noticed the horns on her head, though because of her mostly human features they were unsure if she was actually a demi-human as well. At the mention of documentation, Danielle knew things were about to become complicated, but decided to stay quiet for the moment to think about what best to say, if she could help it she wanted to avoid using her powers to get through.
Unfortunately it appeared some of the guards were a little perverted. Danielle tried her best not to blanch at the prospect but managed to keep a respectful smile on her face despite their advances. No doubt the only reason the guards were able to get away with such talk was because of the crisis at hand keeping the authorities' eyes on other issues. Still, the situation could easily be worked to their advantage as Danielle knew, from a little experimentation with other travelers, that her skills would easily work on most inhabitants of this world, but then Himitsu decided to intervene probably as a way keep their creepy eyes off her.
"You insolent fools! "Yes, it is true that our group is religious. In fact, the reason we all look different is because we are all joined together for our love to the one true god. A god that is almighty and powerful yet humble and benevolent. That god's name is none other than...BEYONCE!"
Danielle was downright flabbergasted at what Himitsu had just spouted, she wasn't sure about December but probably she was downright confused and had no idea how to diffuse the strange situation. What in the world was that bird-brain thinking? Here they were in an alternate reality, trying to enter a city that was on high alert, and the most suspicious member in the group was freely talking about religion while trying to pretend a singer from over a century ago was some sort of deity! Sure they should have no idea about the reference but what was she trying to do? Get them all arrested.
By now all the guards and even the gatekeeper were both puzzled, scared, and ready to bring down the law of the land on these strangers. Now completely panicked, Danielle was trying to remember all her spells and passives to see if there was someway to get out of this situation as it just got worse and worse as Himitsu started to dance of all things. She was dang lucky she was in those priestess clothes and had wings, otherwise the dance would have looked at whole lot worse, thankfully it just seemed more alien than anything else but Danielle could tell their goose would be cooked if she did not do something quickly.
Thankfully as a player who went down the seduction route, there were plenty of spells and passives that would help persuade npcs to be helpful and to easily give into suggestion. Also all of the guards were men so the effects would be considerably more effective. Under her breathe, Danielle started to activate quite a few skills, "Aura of Bafflement, Willpower Reduction, Gentle Suggestion, Foggy Mind, Seductive Compliance." Passives and spells slyly made their way into the surrounding guards minds and before they realized it they were already falling under the various effects powers.
The final spell she cast to complete the trend was mental suggestion, it made low level NPCs unknowingly easily give in to whatever information next came into their heads, of course in the game it could only be used on specific commands, like persuasion word options that could be used on NPCs in certain quest lines for bonuses, but in the real world it appeared to be a different beast entirely, it was a good thing these guards were obviously low enough level though as the spell was hardly useful against anything above say, level 30. The guards were so low level though, it made them actually think that the awful dancing was actually helping them, when they took the suggestion to try it out as well.
There was one guard that seemed to have exceptionally high willpower however, but with a little extract nudging from a hypnotizing eye spell to make him give in. As the last mental block fell, the guards eagerly let them inside. Danielle was frankly quite amazed she had been able to pull it off despite Himitsu's blundering, it just went to show that the effects of the spells really did change quite a bit when applied to 'real' world logic, and the fact that the guards were mostly low-willed simpletons, if there had been a mage or a female there though, it probably would not have worked.
Once inside, Himitsu tried to play it off with an innocent smile. Danielle had to work hard to not snap at her, thankfully as a teacher, he was used to things that tried to get on his nerves. "Please, just don't try something like that again, I nearly had a heart attack." Danielle was not sure, but she imagined December was looking pityingly on her as she probably picked up on what Danielle had done for the group.
Back at the gate, the guards were all shaking their heads and trying to figure out what exactly had just happened, everything from the past few minutes seemed a little muddled. "Hey, do you remember a group of weirdos a moment ago? I remember we were questioning them and then I felt...happy?"
The main gatekeeper had a baffled look on his face as he also tried to figure out exactly what had happened. "Yes, I...well there was that really gorgeous woman among them, I remember our eyes met and...huh, well nothing we can do about it now. If we let them in them they must have been alright...by the dragon lords that was a weird meeting."
Probably not wanting to admit they may have done something they should have, the guards shrugged off the incident and continued on with their day.
