"Disappearances in...? Oh right", Rui turned back to Samuru to address his concerns, including the trips to the dungeon. It was true everyone else had stopped showing up to the dungeons, in fact not all of them were present at the beach too, but that came down to that there were enough people in their group to make up a full class.

"First of all, they've stopped coming for other reasons. Either they have more pressing matters in their life, and will need to step out, or have decided something else took precedence", he began. Igor would probably say something about this too being a choice in life, after all, they were responsible for their choices from then on. This was their choice.

"Next is... The dungeons, even if you choose to mentor Kanna in some way, for safety, it is required there be a total of four people going in, and one navigator to keep an eye on them, to prevent unforeseen dangers. I was told that you already went in once with Ryan, Mako and Sato too. It's just like that", he explained.

"If he agrees I don't see the issue, but we have rules about going into the dungeons for a reason...", with that sorted, or, for now, unless Samuru had anymore questions, they were done here. Were more questions were to be asked he would answer them before heading back to the group.

As Rui returned, it seems everyone was still settling down to eat, Kotori as timid as ever was still struggling to even propose that they eat the sandwiches she packed while the others either went off to buy something and come back with it, or were unpacking their own lunches.

"I'll have some Kotori. I only brought money, so no packed lunches from me", as he stated so, eventually she would unwrap the sandwiches and it became a free for all lunch.

"I'll go buy some drinks, anyone want anything?",

I'll pick characters later, but do we just like, pick straight up? Is there a stage and everyone lines up? Or after the gathering, chosen leaders are expected to go hunting for their squad?

Vega

Luna Crescente - Town Square

---

The proceedings were going as they should, if visitors were none the wiser they'd think this was just some fun festival, and while it was for many, it was also supposed to be a grueling trial. Vega left the office with an expression of disdain on his face, normally he made a lot of noise but he seemed more sulky than angry with this requirement. "Team leader", he was the only one needed. Should he just pick some people and be done with it? No, he wouldn't have a good chance at winning if he just picked anyone... Then again perhaps another year of just resigning to a wasted trial? No, that was a waste...

"Curse that four-eyes stiff", he seethed under his breath. It was even worse watching the guy next to the Harpy Guild Master, disgusting, be more decisive at least, calls himself a guild master. Still, hmmmmm... Working as a team... He didn't like it, he kept running it in his head, but he subconsciously refused the concept. Opportunity and chaos was his style, and that had no coordination with a team, nor did he need it. He was just fine running it himself.

The more he ran it in his head, the more it bothered him, until he began to have visions of Angela's little goon squad sent after him, which only made him even more frustrated.

"Still... I should just take the job I can do best and bring someone who isn't annoying", in that thought he immediately thought of Damien, as an example of who to not choose. Maybe Kazue? She sure is a go-getter if there's money and Vega's not exactly strapped for cash. He either steals more or takes some ridiculous A rank job that requires a group all on his own. He knows Seto's back in town, but he doubts the guy's going to help him out in the name of being a good samaritan. Kage...? Nah. That only left Jack being the last of the notable choices, maybe that wouldn't be so bad. His background was the out-in-the-open version of his own thief background.

Even with these choices, he preferred to not pick any of them. Maybe they would join up with him, but he always went alone and no one seemed to care. The tournament at the end would be pointless until he could even pass the first stages, doubtless those on the Harpy side have thought of ways to deal with his magic already, and his own in Golem Hand the same way... That sounded like a lot of fun. Before he could run his thoughts over that it went back to the idea of teamwork.

Ahhh whatever. It was going to be annoying regardless, and sitting this out was going to be more boring than if he went with it, besides, a chance at an S Rank job, maybe he can get a feel and gauge his power.

So then... Who to pick? More importantly, was he to just go hunting for people? Jack was going to be no problem, but Kazue and even Seto were going to be problematic to find, and at the same time he's actively pushing even the word "Damien" out of his mind. And Kage was only a consideration... Maybe he should try and pit her and Ceri against one another one of these days. That'd be something. Stubbornness versus a secret venomous tongue.

Vega

Luna Crescente - Golem Hand Guild Hall

@Lord Sawsaw2 (Delsin)

---

Vega strolled back through the guild hall. A lot of the lower level guild members would try and keep a low profile while others simply didn't mind. Though it was mostly new members that feared him, his presence in the guild when he first joined, for that month, new member counts plummeted completely, but now most are aware that the reality is he isn't as mean to the guild... For some reason. Word is Delsin has a leash on him, but it was a somewhat common misconception and not to be blamed for. It certainly did seem that way. Vega wasn't an idiot. He was in some way, respectful to Delsin, but it seems just about no one else in this guild has earned his full respect yet, with some close contenders on a basic level. Otherwise...

"So? What'd you want? I was having such a nice stroll in the park until Angela showed up", you would be forgiven for thinking he was respectful. For a man of discipline like Delsin, all too pragmatic, leading to some thinking he may have let Vega in due to his magic being the perfect defense against other Dark Mages, he accepted someone like Vega.

"If this is about the S class trials, I'm still going, but I like it even less this year, for reasons I'm sure you know", Vega collapsed back into the chair in his office, waiting for the guild master to tell him what was up.

If there's no new IC post tomorrow I'll just post anyways and move Vega over.

By the way, where is Delsin right now? Still in his office or is he someplace else?

Luna Crescente Lower Streets

---

"Heh, stupid old hag. Serves them right...", Vega sunk into the lower streets a little ways towards the outskirts of town. He'd already gotten the message, he was to go see Delsin, and he was going to comply, although he just wanted to cause a bit of trouble and blow off some steam first. The entire idea of cooperating with the Harpies didn't sit well with him. He'll go see Delsin soon, but not before he checks in around here for a little something.

"Oi, open up", the door before him laid unopened, silent.

"You want another repair bill? Open up", still silence... Vega clicked his tongue before stepping back a bit.

The door burst to splinters as it flew across the room spreading across the floor.

"Yoooo, how's it going?", though within moments he found himself darting to the side to avoid a few thrown sharp objects, before catching the second volley with a second sidestep and then throwing it back. The surprise assailant found himself petrified as he was inches away from a knife in his skull.

"Hey hey, that's no way to greet a customer. Come on, usual batch. I happen to have an idea for some fun, so I'm not gonna break anything in you this time, if you just hand it over", the person down here based on the establishment seemed to be some kind of chemist.

"O-okay, but-", a pile of money landed at the man's feet. The middle aged shopkeep seemed a little surprised.

"What? Never seen a paying customer before? Just got it done or I'll try my usual form of payment", and with that the man darted off into his back rooms, in a minute or two he came back out with a bag of... Something. It was a small bag, but inside looked like pellets.

"Hm? A little extra?",

"W-well, the money you gave me equates to that much", he was nervous, but for someone who dealt in back street areas, he was surprisingly diligent in his job.

"Whatever, I'm in a hurry I'll take it", with a swift movement he snatched the bag up and headed out, slipping the bag into the back pockets where it'd be hidden under his coat and sash.

"Have a good day... Oh and, maybe open the door next time? You dolt", and with that he was gone, heading back towards the center of the city.

That too.

Persona - The True Self

No worries. We're pretty lax over here. Generally though since we're at the story heavy half point of the RP though, I'm gonna try and push out an update once a week regularly so that we at least have a regular pace.
