welcome to goldvale . intro post #1


It begins with a flash of blinding light.

No matter what they’re doing, the light is so stunning that they pause to shield their eyes. Logically, it seems like such a bright light would hurt their eyes, and yet somehow, it’s not painful at all. It’s strange, but stranger still, a moment later, the ground underneath them is gone. They’re falling, and it feels like they’re falling for a long time as their eyes adjust after that light.

Yet, it’s not long at all—they’re only falling five feet or so. But as they, and others, appear in the air, there’s a shriek of alarm.

“Beryl—Go!!”

A man’s voice shouts after the scream, and as their eyes adjust, they’ll see two blurry figures, the woman running away while the man briefly stands his ground with a dagger raised before he takes advantage of the confusion to flee as well and cover her. You, and all of the other disoriented strangers, have been left alone. There might be a few bruises from the fall, but otherwise, there are no new injuries. It’s a strange lobby, but nothing about it seems helpful to reveal where you are. Following the two figures is fruitless too, since the door at the end of that hallway is sealed shut with magic—no one will be able to pass through.

So, just where are you?

[He nods, unsheathing the Brave's Sword. It's not super impressive, but it looks like it's of a decent make at the very least.]

Before I came here, I worked as a warrior in another world. My friends and me, we'd help protect the people in the cities and towns we passed through. That's kind of why I wanted to join this guild.

[ He kind of stopped listening after Wataru mentioned helping protect people. ]

For a boy this young to be working at such a young age... Ugh! What a harsh life he has lived! I can't imagine my dear and Rémy and Marie-Noelle fighting for a living, much less their lives. No, I'd be dead before they even think of it. No, I'd rather they didn't think of it at all...

sorry this is late!

You! What's your name?

It's fine! ♥

[Eep! He unconsciously stands a little straighter, hands at his side.]

Uhh... It's Wataru Mitani, sir!

Whataroo? I see. And how old are you again?

[ He speaks as he goes over to a counter to get a form for Wataru and fill it out. ]

Since you have some experience, I am inclined to accept you as part of the guild, but... let's strike a deal.

I'll let you stay in our guild as an unranked member for a month to observe us and show you what we really do. I'll even give you free food and lodging. But you have to help us out with small stuff in return. After a month, if you like what you see, I will personally induct you as a member of the Seven Titans! How does that sound?

Eleven. [Unless his birthday had passed while he was in Vision, but... yeah, not even going to try to figure out how that would work with the differences in timekeeping.

The work sounds a little too simple, but he does give a nod. With the circumstances being what they are, what else can he do?
]

I'll do it.

That's what I like to hear! [ Have a friendly BUT PAINFUL slap on the back. ]

Keep at it, and I'll ask some of my people to train you next week as well.

[personal profile] defendre 2013-05-31 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Come to think of it, have you had any previous training? Aside from hands-on experience, that is.

[personal profile] hasavision 2013-06-02 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[OW. He tries not to wince too hard, but it's difficult.]

Uh... Not exactly?

Oh Divines, then we must get started immediately! Come along. Careful not to step on any toes.

[ As hesitant as Alexander was to turn the boy away earlier, he eagerly ushers him into the guild. And so Wataru's misadventures in the Warrior's Guild begins! ]

[personal profile] hasavision 2013-06-08 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa--!

[And then Wataru began to wonder if this was really such a good idea. But really, it's about time someone taught him how to properly handle a sword.]
