I keep coming back here very so often, as if it would make my wanting to return any better. I don't know why that would be. I would just disappear again and regret it again, I'm sure.

Ah, alright. Chalk me up for interested, then.
...Oh. The inclusion of Stargate threw me off.
So is this just a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon RP, or are you including elements from the Stargate series as well?
For anyone still interested, @Corporal Lance and I were at work concocting a new Fire Emblem RP, ironing out what story is going to take place and what mechanics we want to use. It is looking fairly robust so far, and I feel once we can finish an OOC header post to explain everything, it will turn out quite nicely.
Maybe interested.
Time passed, slowly but surely enough, and the vague traces of light from the rising sun eventually blossomed a full turquoise sky, with the distant ball of light climbing ever higher. The monk's own pacing about lent him a good idea of where most everything in the town was - there wasn't much to behold beyond the church, its apothecary, an inn, and a couple of market shops. As activity burst out in the village, many of the people getting up and about, Hanzo took a cue to head to the apothecary now, as no doubt there would already be a few patrons looking to get in on the offer.

He was quite right about that, at least. As Hanzo carefully opened the door, a tiny bell above him rung out in an almost jovial clamor, and a few faces within turned to regard the newcomer. The monk could see that a small but apparent group was yet gathered, with an elder Sister paying witness to them - and too, there seemed to be a few more people outside heading towards the apothecary. Hanzo let himself in after a short-lived moment of pondering to prop the door open for the other newer arrivals.

For who was already present, the job offer seemed to have mostly attracted mercenaries, it seemed. The two 'average' humans, a male and a female, were garbed in basic adventurer's gears and armor, visible weapons at their possession. The man, however, seemed to be second-guessing either himself of the operation here, something the lady brushed off.

The other two looked to shroud themselves in cloaks, though they were notably separate unlike the humans. Towering about them was a man with a hard yet smooth voice, very certain in huddling his cloak about him. Maybe he wasn't used to the colder weather - but then again, Hanzo could almost feel something else with him. The other lady, however, was distinctly elven in her looks (from what Hanzo could observe) and seemed to make her holy presence more apparent.

Hanzo folded his arms at his waist, preceding a slight bow and a nod. "I happened to be in the area when I heard of this outbreak of Cinder Sickness - but I didn't imagine quite so many people would take on this plea," Hanzo softly remarked, taking another glace to the door as he did so in expectancy of more patrons walking in. Quickly turning back, he added, "I would hope that my own offer of service is not unwelcome to you all."
The road always seemed longer when a destination was in sight, Hanzo had noticed. It was the anticipation of reaching the landmark, observing what it held and seeing what new things there was. The monk would be lying if he said he didn't approach this with a bit of apprehension, not just in not knowing what to expect, but in that whatever he found could assail him. Not that it was a thing that frequently happened, but it didn't stop Hanzo from dreading it. Things could just change so instantly...

The town itself was not a place that particularly stood out, in terms of construction. It was a simple village adjusted to the temperate climate of the northern areas, boasting a small bounty of farmland and their own local monastery. What was of note, however, were the events that took place here: a mysterious outbreak of the so-called Cinder Sickness. The apothecary lacked the necessary ingredients to fashion a cure, and could not spare the manpower to seek them out themselves; they hailed adventurers far and wide to come to their aid and help create a cure for the Cinder Sickness.

Naturally, being the willing and empathetic soul he was, Hanzo endeavored himself to help. It was no matter for him to travel the distance to get here, but when looking to take on a job like this, Hanzo always found himself buffeted with a burden of time, or the seeming lack thereof, rather. That's one thing that never changed - needing to travel more rapidly when time was of the essence always felt strangely unnatural to him.

Regardless, the monk had made it to the village in due time, with the first glimpses of the sun's face peeking out over the eastern horizon. Already a select few others were up and about, either going about their routine duties or seeking out the apothecary offering the critical job. Hanzo himself decided to spare a bit of time to lounge about in the village briefly, to give himself a view of this place for memory. At least, if he would come to need anything in preparation after taking on the job, the monk could learn where to find it.
@Warrior in the Shadows Basically how much money we have. The amount of coins we have. Our coinage.

...Spell checking says it's a legitimate word, so, there.
Yeah, sorry about the overload of puny boring humans. I'm just that kind of person that tends to play those, more often than not.
Possibly. We might want to refurbish the concept some and gauge interest again; maybe put up another thread? It's hard to say, in a situation like this where the GM up and disappears.
@TheWizardLizard Looking at our current cast, I could see either Hugh or (more likely) Fiona managing to drag you along for the ride when you just happen to be there. If it came to it, I could possibly have Hanzo do it himself, as I'm thinking he'll also be a person who tags along by virtue of just being there at the time.

As far characters dynamics go, @Afina, how much potential would you say is there for minor quests or plot arcs that centralize around one or more of our characters? For instance, I left some of Hanzo's backstory open for a possible quest later on, and I could even see Hanzo and Hugh sharing some aspects of their history.
