A few days ago

"License...?" A License? Like, a license to be an official adventurer in the tower? A thing like that existed? This was the first time she heard of such a thing, and it wasn't exactly her first time to enter the place. Granted, she only came once before, but she definitely hadn't gotten one the first time she ventured in...granted, the guys she went with did seem a little shady in hindsight...but they wouldn't want to do something like that intentionally, right? "Erm...what exactly do you mean?"

"You know, a license." Her friend, Saria continued, leaning over the table they shared, almost knocking over one of the cups on it. "You know, those things adventurers have on their way into the tower. I wanna see yours! Come oon, lemme see it, Lena." At this, Lena could swear she started breaking out in a cold sweat. License? She had never heard of such a thing, let alone actually have one.

"A-ah...u-uhm," She gave Saria the best smile she could, as ineffective as such a smile likely would be. She started getting a bad feeling in the bottom of her stomach. A little knot that always formed when she was in the spotlight after doing something completely wrong or failing at something again. She hated the feeling, but she couldn't make it go away so easily. Imagining that she could get in trouble for not having one and going into the tower anyways, was taking up too much of her attention at the moment. "I-I left it at home!" She replied, almost blurted out, causing Saria to raise an eyebrow.

"...you don't have one, do you?" She replied, sitting back down and taking a sip of her beverage.

"W-what? No, no! Of course I have one!" She laughed sheepishly.

"You're a terrible liar, Lena. You really should probably get one." She placed the cup on the table, propping her feet up on the table in a lazy manner as she started munching on an apple. "I heard they take people who don't have one to prison and they're never heard form again. Serious stuff. Considered the worst sorts of criminals, yep." Lena practically froze at the words. That was bad! She wasn't a criminal! She just...forgot to get one...for whatever reason. Granted she had only been in the tower once before...and the chances of them finding her and dragging her off to prison was slim.

"Haha...I...I only went in once. I-I'm sure it'll be f-" A sudden knock at the door caught Lena off mid sentence, causing the timid elf to leap from her seat and almost jump to the other side of the room. Saria just laughed, grinning like a cat who was playfully toying with a rodent and almost choking on the apple she was eating.

"Jeez Lena, you're too easy. Really. That's probably just a delivery for me." Lena visibly relaxed at this, sighing a bit and giving Saria a hurt look.

"That was mean, Saria." She said, walking towards the back door of the house.

"Hehe, but it was funny." Saria had to admit, Lena was 100% adorable when she was pouting.

"Only to you..." Lena pouted slightly. She knew Saria didn't mean anything by it, but it still made her worry needlessly about something. "I'm going to go find where Tania has fluttered off too...I'll see you later, alright?"
"Yep, bye! Look, really, sorry, don't pout so much. It'll make me feel bad."

Alright! Today was the day! After what happened a few days ago, she had worked up her courage to go see what this whole license thing was about! She had never heard of it before. How, she had no idea, since it seemed to be an almost impossibly large event with a lot of hubbub and fanfare around it. In all, it looked pretty fun. Only problem was, she was almost late. She had ended up oversleeping, and if it wasn't for Tania doing her usual impish antics, she wouldn't have even woken up. Speaking of impish pixies...

"Arrgh, slow down you clumsy elf!" The butterfly winged pixie was holding on for dear life, tiny arms gripping the Elfs' ears trying not to fly off. "You are going to trip!" She continued, almost as if that was a forgone conclusion. Knowing Lena's surprisingly lack of grace and balance sometimes, the odds were pretty good she was going to end up tripping and falling into someone or eating dirt.

"Tania, we're going to be late!" Lena rebutted, moving as swiftly as she could through the crowd, trying her best not to run into anyone in the crowded streets. She really didn't want to miss this and get a license. She knew she shouldn't take Saria seriously at all, but that conversation a few days ago had put her more than a little on edge. Mostly because of her inherent fear of failure and making a blunder. She tried to ignore it a lot of times, but sometimes she just couldn't shake the feeling. Now though, such things weren't even in her head. She had a goal, and that goal was to get to the initiation so she could officially start on her dream of being an adventurer.

"You're going to be dead if you trip and run into a bottomless pit because you have the coordination of a drunk harpy!"

"Eh? There aren't any bottomless pits in the middle of the-Eeep!"

"You idiot, keep your head on the road, not on-" Tania didn't get finish the sentence. She let go of the Elfs ear as Lena's foot landed awkwardly on a loose piece of road. The elf tumbled forwards, sending her flying forwards...and slamming into the ground, face first right in front of Okami. Tania held a hand to her forehead, letting out a tired sigh, mumbling under her breath about 'uncoordinated drunk dwarfs'. The small pixie, flitted down, taking a seat on top of Lena's head.

"You alright down there, champ?"

"See? I made it." The elf replied, raising a hand and giving the surrounding people a thumbs up. Tania simply rolled her eyes. Well, she was as spirited as ever at least. It was then, the Pixie noticed Okami and the old man mumbling something about the lord. She looked up from her blond haired throne, patting Lena on the head.

"Hey, instead of mumbling about some fictional sky wizard, ya help a lady up ya old bat."

"Ah, no, I'm fine! Don't be mean, Tania." Lena replied, pushing herself up to a sitting position. "Oooowww..." She groaned lightly, rubbing a small sore spot on her forehead. She was pretty sure she was going to have a bruise there. Way to go Lena, good way to start your adventure. Tania simply stretched, still using Lena's head as a throne as the elf slowly stood. "Sorry about that! Ehe, I maybe was a bit too excited about getting a license." She laughed. "Nice to meet all of you, I'm Lena! The one on my head is Tania."

"I'd say it was nice to meet ya humans, but that'd be a lie." Lena reached up and gave the small pixie a poke, making the small creature make an ever so delightful sounding 'squee' noise.

"Sorry about her...she's uhm, nicer than she acts! Promise!"

Heeey, now, Lena's a tank! totally! She might be a pretty terrible one at the moment, but that's what that shield spell is for! She's good at what she does, and won't totally screw up, honest!~

@Rhythmloid

Don't see why not!~

@RabidAnubis

Oh fun.

Succubus.

with a bat that likes chasing butterflies.

I know what you are up to.

Tania will wreck that bat five different ways and totally not be cowering behind Lena.

~Gwynn & Lyssa~

"Hey hey, Ice skating sounds fun!" Lyssa replied with a bright grin. She had no idea what it was actually, but it sounded fun at least.

"It's settled! Come on then!" Gwynn stood up excitedly, following after Maoin back to their dorm. "Maoin makes some delicious stuff, it'll be great!" Gwynn knew the kitten already had made food for the two of them. Granted, she didn't think much of it at the moment. She'd make sure to give Maoin sufficient pets later...but for now, she was too busy focused on everyone having a good time together.

"Yep yep, come on!~" Lyssa grabbed Mugi's hand, and practically started dragging her after Gwynn.

Soon enough, they found themselves inside of the dorm. Gwynn waltzed into the room behind Maoin, with Lyssa right at her heels not having let go of Mugi at all, despite the fact her hand probably could classify as an ice sculpture now. Gwynn plopped down on her bed, giving the two other girls a bright smile.

"It's no royal estate, but its pretty nice." Gwynn joked.

"Hehe, yeah, it's really not!" Lyssa replied with a giggle, taking a look around the room. "Wooow, this place is tons cleaner than my place. But ehe, I'm not entirely all that used to cleaning."

"Pfft, cleaning. Maoin does that most of the time."

"Aww, I want servants...I miss-erm, I miss that cake I had earlier. It was delicious." She almost said that she missed her servants. That, would be a bit careless, yep yep. "I'd give them all the hugs they could possibly want." She'd also end up toying with them in various ways, but details details.

~Cynthia & Livia~

"Then punish it for its misbehavior." Cynthia replied in response to Luna's comment. From the cold tone she gave the knight, it was a bit obvious perhaps she was thinking about doing the same to Luna for some reason. "If you were looking for the headmistress, she is out. Come back later." She moved to shut the door, just as she noticed Livia behind Luna, returning to the office with Fia, likely having finished whatever rounds she was doing.

Cynthia opened the door, walking coldly past Luna and barely offering her a glance. She bowed, welcoming Livia back.

"Headmistress, This student wishes to speak with you."

"Oh? My Luna, it is certainly a pleasure to see you. What brings you here today? How about we have this discussion in my office." Livia motioned for them to follow her, giving Luna a friend smile as she walked past. "Its rather cold this morning, and you are certainly more than welcome to stay a bit and warm yourself. Cynthia, start a fire would you?" She ordered, walking over to one of the two couches in the middle of her office.

<sub>Oh noes.

My nefarious plan has been revealed.</sub>

I mean what-no no, I'm an innocent little angel. I would never have such dastardly intentions as being nice to you so you'll make me a coGM so I can eventually turn this into a dictatorship with me as your god-queen. Why would you ever suggest such a thing?~

More seriously, I'm serious xD
If you do need help with something, I definitely wouldn't mind helping if I'm not too busy.

Summoners of Babel

just want to say this to the five who joined already, thanks for joining and you guys mean a lot for joining. really looking forward to how this goes and hope i don't disappoint you lot!
(by disappoint i mean the intro i still need to wrap up...)

@cloudystar

Hey, it's a neat idea Cloudy. I'm certainly looking forward to it, and you'll certainly do fine!

But if you need help with anything, I certainly don't mind helping at all if you need it~

Summoners of Babel

@cloudystar

xD
Yeah, Lena's intended to be a Paladin, so light-based spells are sorta gonna be her thing.

That said, she is going to be trying, or at least, attempting to learn magic with the help of Tania, so wind-based magic might work best...eh.

hmm....

Spells:
-Barrier: A small shield of light is formed in front of the user. Not going to be stopping anything big, though.

Runey_Chan's CS of Awesome

eh, yeah, just give her this shield spell for now, if that's alright~

Might pick up some wind-based spells later

Summoners of Babel

@cloudystar

Considering Lena's more likely to have a spell blow up in her face at the moment... xD

I'll give her the small healing ability I was considering at the beginning, but at the moment I'ma wait for her to learn more ICly.

Spells:
-Healing Hands: A small healing spell. Isn't going to be curing anything big. At most, a few scrapes and bruises.

Runey_Chan's CS of Awesome

If you want to add that bit under 'Skills', that'll be cool.

Scratch that, I'll give her a small light-shield spell then, if that'll work.

Spells:
-Barrier: A small shield of light is formed in front of the user. Not going to be stopping anything big, though.

Runey_Chan's CS of Awesome

Eh, actually, hold on. I'ma get back to you on that spell xD

sorry~

Summoners of Babel

@cloudystar

OH NOES.

...welp, that's gg folks. Time to go home and eat nachos.
