Mission Hall Fulfilling a SOUL's duty...  The Mission Hall is one of the most vital facilities of Astraea and can be accessed via the elevator in the Eastern Staff Lobby. Ordinary staff members have no access to this location and only key members who possess a COMB are even allowed entry. It is a large, technologically advanced hall containing many high tech computers for common use. At the bottom is a small podium reserved exclusively for the Mission Receptionist and the big screen behind that is often used for special briefings regarding Urgent Missions. [Mission Receptionist] Ciela  "... What do you want?" In this special area thread, you can apply for missions. Before you do though, it is important to read through the "Missions & Rank Points" section in the Guidance Thread. If you want to apply, just fill out the Mission Application form below and make a post with your character here in the Mission Hall. Applications made in other area threads do not count. IC Note: You can either fill out the form on a computer/COMB and send it or talk to the cute Mission Receptionist and give all the details (but don't try to flirt with her if you don't want a broken heart~) Available Missions: Progressing Missions: Available Requests: Mission Application FORM: [Information] Keyword: Mission Hall [Password] Mission Hall Access |

Also wearing Amethysts Earcuffs. Alice can only be heard by Londo, as she is just an observer paid to observe only Londo. Skills Active: Master Guard (Permanent) After doing everything off screen, Londo made his way to the Mission Hall, sending a text to Sho while he did so. "Hey I'm at the mission hall! I can't wait to see you there and work with you gloriously!" Londo opened the door to the Mission Hall afterwards, entering and going up to Ciela, "Hello there my fellow robot! I am here to ask about a certain C rank Up for Sho and I! We shall rank up together today!" |
[Mission Receptionist] Ciela Ciela was mildly surprised when the first mission of the day seemed to originate from a fairly influential Unholy woman, although she didn't show it. It also seemed like this escort mission, unlike the one from yesterday, had a customer that might be valuable to Astraea. That's why she would quickly send it out to all COMBs. It seemed like Celestia had a fair amount of requests, but they would have to come second to finding SOULs capable to deal with this kind of mission. For now, however, she would simply wait to see whom would show up, hoping for the best, or at least the 'better'. |
Arona  Health: 100 / 100 Prana: 250 / 250 Stamina: 100 / 100 Barrier: Desummoned • STR: E • VIT: E • WIL: B • RES: E • SPD: E • AGL: E • PER: C • REC: E Current Status: Normal Appearence: Wearing Dragon horns and a tail Skills Active: Conservation (PermanentSPELLs require 85% Prana Costs), Static Charge When Arona got to the Mission Hall, she spotted a red-headed fellow who seemed to be flirting with the robotic lady up front. Arona decided not to bother them, so she went to a nearby computer to sign herself up for the mission. Mission Application Applicant: Arona Applicant RANK: D Mission: Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild Mission Difficulty: D+ Arona sent in the details, wondering about the Unholy she was going to be guarding. Arona could have sworn she read about her somewhere.... Wait, didn't Chomylla mention having a friend who was related to Celestia?... Arona hastily set about asking her the details, texting away on her COMB... |
[Mission Receptionist] Ciela As Ciela put up the new mission from Celestia, she heard the familiar clanking of a certain Automaton approaching. Suppressing the urge to sigh, she listened to Londo's speech, detecting the distinct sound of rattling screws in his voice. "A suitable Rank Up Mission will be prepared for you shortly; you shall be notified via COMB message when one has been chosen. Please remember that, should Sho choose for some reason to not apply for a Rank Up Mission today, you will be sent on a solo mission instead." With that said, Ciela added Londo's name to a registry of people for whom a Rank-Up Mission was required. Now, she merely had to wait for the verdicts of her higher ups on what to send him (and Sho, should Sho choose to apply) on. After that was done, there was a new notification on her computer to tend to. One of the recent transfers, Arona, had sent in an application to join Celestia's mission via one of the empty computers located in the hall. Silently grateful for not needing to waste time speaking directly, Ciela quickly took care of the application and sent a premade text response to the computer Arona was using. "Your application has been processed. Arona on duty for "Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild" confirmed." With that done, Ciela returned to her other work until her next inevitable interrupted... |

Lysett's wearing Charisma's hat Lysett walked towards the Mission Hall, recalling her conversation with Sho along the way. They'd talked about a few topics for before calling it a day, mostly about her doubts about Eden and Senza's claims. There was no reason for her to believe them, but there weren't any immediate contradictions or things that seemed out of place either. In the end, all they could achieve with that possibly fake story were a few SOULs aligning with their goals and switching sides, but she doubted they'd aim for that. In the end, all she could do was admit that Senza's story could very well be true and keep her eyes open for any hint that might help them unveil the truth and maybe find another solution to the problem should it prove to be true. Lysett entered the Mission Hall and found Ciela inside as usual, talking with Londo. Approaching the counter, Lysett greeted both Londo and Ciela, smiling at her despite expecting the receptionist's usual cold treatment. "Good morning, Londo. Nice fight yesterday! Good morning, Ciela. I'd like to apply for the escort mission, please." Mission Application Applicant: Lysett Blythe Applicant RANK: D Mission: Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild Mission Difficulty: D+ |
Eukina Watashi  Health: 150 / 150 Prana: 150 / 150 Stamina: 150 / 150 • STR: C • VIT: E • WIL: E • RES: E • SPD: C • AGL: C • PER: C • REC: E AG Status: Bow / Dagger Current Status: Normal Skills Active: Eagle Eye After arriving at the Mission Hall, Eukina opened the door to see some familiar faces. One Lysett, and one Londo. Eukina only remember the third one from the invasion, but not really much her name. Eukina went over to Lysett after she signed up, waving at her, "Hey Lysett. Are you signing up for the Escort mission? I'm planning to as well, if the team needs me." Londo the GREAT! Health: 200 / 200 Prana: 100 / 100 Stamina: 150 / 150 Gauntlets: Desummoned • STR: B • VIT: C • WIL: E • RES: C • SPD: C • AGL: E • PER: C • REC: D Current Status: Wearing yet another cool headlight, turned off. Also wearing Amethysts Earcuffs. Alice can only be heard by Londo, as she is just an observer paid to observe only Londo. Skills Active: Master Guard (Permanent) Londo gave Ciela the thumbs up after she said he was now on the case! Then gave a nice wave to Lysett, "I'm glad you enjoyed it! I enjoyed it as well! You might even enjoy seeing me as C rank later today! I'll send you a personal invitation when you need to head to the throne!" Londo said, giving her a wink and walking to the middle of the room to start flexing and hoping Sho would arrive soon. |
Sho Kazehaya  Health: 150/150 Prana: 150/150 Stamina: 150/150 Air Saber: Not Summoned • STR: B • VIT: E • WIL: E • RES: E • SPD: B • AGL: B • PER: E • REC: B Current Status: +1 Strength Skills Active: Fairy Levitation (Passive), Proficiency (Passive) Current Equipment: Revival Bracelet (Inactive), Warrior Heart (+1 Strength) Sho made his way to the mission hall, stopping by the dining hall offscreen on his way there to get something to eat quickly. Despite all the differences of being a SOUL, he still felt hunger, and it would be bad to be distracted by it in a mission. After that, he headed over to the mission hall, going inside to find a few people there already, including Lysett, Londo, Eukina, and that one lightning mage from earlier. Since Ciela didn't seem to like talking, he submitted his application for the rank up mission with the COMB to try to not bother her as much. Mission Application Applicant: Sho Kazehaya Applicant RANK: D Mission: C Rank Examination Mission Difficulty: C Then Sho walked near the receptionist's desk, which was also where Eukina and Lysett were waiting. He didn't think they were ranking up since they didn't mention it earlier, so that meant they were on the escort mission. "Lysett, you're going on the escort mission, right? Sorry, I wish I could help, but I'm supposed to go on the rank up mission..." It bugged him just how often this happened..but then, an idea came to him. "I know, how about you take this? Your mission seems really dangerous, so you might need it." He took off the revival bracelet and offered it to Lysett, hoping she would accept it. He felt kind of bad about not being able to join the mission, so this was to make up for that, and now that he had the strength bracelet it would make up for missing the revival bracelet anyways. |
Edward Durand  Health: 200/200Prana: 150/150 Stamina: 100/100 AG: Not Summoned • STR: C • VIT: B • WIL: E • RES: E • SPD: D • AGL: E • PER: D • REC: E Current Status: +1 Vitality Skills Active: Knight Guard (Passive), Survival Drive (Passive/Inactive) Current Equipment: Knight Honor (+1 Vitality) Edward headed over to the mission hall and was relieved to find that not every spot for the mission was taken just yet. A total of five people were there, but since the mission allowed up to six to join he was just in time. So, he got in line and would fill out the application form once it was his turn. "I wish to apply for the mission 'Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild'." Mission Application Applicant: Edward Durand Applicant RANK: D Mission: Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild Mission Difficulty: D+ Then he moved away from the receptionist's desk to not bother her, turning to face the other applicants while greeting them. "Good morning." There was the spatial mage from the parliament mission, the speedy Elf boy he remembered from the city square battle, Arona, Eukina, and a red-haired Automaton. Overall, it seemed what their group lacked the most was a healer, which would be essential to keep themselves and the person they were escorting alive. |
[Mission Receptionist] Ciela Naturally, Ciela didn't receive that much time in which to continue her work before the next SOUL applied. First up was the Elf girl whose portal magic had been so invaluable when rescuing the Prime Rib Minister. While Ciela was happy to meet Lysett's expectations, she was glad Lysett didn't meet hers; very little unnecessary conversation was added in the submission of her application. "Your application has been processed. Lysett Blythe on duty for "Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild confirmed." Shortly after, Ciela received another notification of an application via COMB. This one was from Sho Kazehaya, the one Londo had mentioned going on a rank up mission with. True to Londo's expectation, the application was for a C Rank Examination. Ciela's fingers flew across her keyboard as she wrote and sent a reply to Sho's COMB almost immediately. "Your application has been processed. A suitable Rank Up Mission will be prepared for you shortly; you shall be notified via COMB message when one has been chosen." Finally, a bland brick another guy approached, this one being the one with the knight shield and barriers. He, too, wished to speak to Ciela directly, but at least he, too, kept his conversation to a minimum. "Your application has been processed. Edward Durand on duty for "Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild confirmed." Then, Ciela returned her attention to her other tasks. |

Lysett's wearing Charisma's hat Ciela's reply had been less aggressive than usual this time, most likely due to Lysett's short sentence not leaving enough room for a colder response; even so, Lysett was glad for that small change. "Thanks, Ciela." Londo's reply was full of his usual narcissism, but it was still amusing in Lysett opinion. His weird wink got a laugh off Lysett as she went along with his 'joke'. "Alright then, I'll see if I can make it there after this mission's over!" The next one to enter the hall was Eukina, whom she greeted back with a wave of her own. She was considering joining the mission, and Lysett was quick to urge her to do just that. "Oh, are you joining too, Eukie? We could always use someone with your skills there! Besides, we didn't get in the last escort mission, so we just gotta do it this time, right?" Sho also reached the mission hall, although he didn't intend to join the escort mission; instead, Sho was about to depart on a rank up mission and once again leave Lysett behind. "Good morning, Sho. Don't worry about it: Eukie is gonna be there too, right? I'm sure things will be okay. Besides, it's not like you can steal all the cool escort missions all for yourself!" However, Sho's next sentence didn't sit well with her.... Lysett shook her head at his offer, lightly pushing his hand back. "No, I don't think that's fair, Sho. I'm sure your rank up mission will be far more difficult than escorting some noble around, so you should keep it. Besides, this was your share of the prize for that tournament, so it totally isn't fair for me to take it." The last one to enter was a vaguely familiar young man; Lysett was sure she'd seen him around before, but couldn't recall his name. Either way, she returned his greeting to the group standing near Ciela's desk. "Good morning!" |
Eukina Watashi Health: 150 / 150 Prana: 150 / 150 Stamina: 150 / 150 • STR: C • VIT: E • WIL: E • RES: E • SPD: C • AGL: C • PER: C • REC: E AG Status: Bow / Dagger Current Status: Normal Skills Active: Eagle Eye After Lysett's words, Eukina shrugged. She hadn't signed up for the mission, but there was still three slots left. Right now they had a tank, that girl who used Lightning, and Lysett, who could protect the VIP. Maybe this was ok so far after all. All they needed was a healer, and a close-ranged Damage Dealer. The last spot was up for debate, but usually the less melees there were, the better, so the ranged could shoot around them more easily. Eukina, using this logic, decided to walk over to the desk with Lysett, and fill out a form there, but not before telling Sho, "Don't worry. She can take care of herself just fine. I've fought with and against her, so I know." Eukina said, before walking to the desk. Mission Application Applicant: Eukina Watashi Applicant RANK: D Mission: Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild Mission Difficulty: D+ After filling it out and handing it to Ciela, Eukina addressed Edward and Lysett, as well as the elf who seemed to be making her way over to the group as well, "I guess I'll sign up now. All we really need now is a close-ranged fighter, and a healer. We could do without the close-ranged fighter, but I feel it would be better to have one. I can contact one if he is up for it, but does anyone know a healer we can talk to?" Arona Health: 100 / 100 Prana: 250 / 250 Stamina: 100 / 100 Barrier: Desummoned • STR: E • VIT: E • WIL: B • RES: E • SPD: E • AGL: E • PER: C • REC: E Current Status: Normal Appearence: Wearing Dragon horns and a tail Skills Active: Conservation (PermanentSPELLs require 85% Prana Costs), Static Charge Arona made her way over to the group that seemed to be going on the same mission as her, and gave a small wave after Eukina finished talking, "I think I remember a girl who used pixies as a supporter. What was her name again?... Oh right! I think it was Amice! Maybe we can try inviting her to this~!" |

Londo the GREAT! Health: 200 / 200 Prana: 100 / 100 Stamina: 150 / 150 Gauntlets: Desummoned • STR: B • VIT: C • WIL: E • RES: C • SPD: C • AGL: E • PER: C • REC: D Current Status: Wearing yet another cool headlight, turned off. Also wearing Amethysts Earcuffs. Alice can only be heard by Londo, as she is just an observer paid to observe only Londo. Skills Active: Master Guard (Permanent) Londo was so engaged in his flexing, that he did not see Sho walk in, and only noticed him after he started talking to Lysett. So right after Lysett declined the bracelet and started walking over to the table, Londo made his way over to Sho, and once he did, he would throw his arm around his shoulders, "Sho! I knew you'd make it! Are you ready to kick butts and take names? I don't remember meeting any C rank SOULs, so I'll be the first person I know to be a C rank! You'll have to honor of knowing me, and fighting alongside me, to achieve greatness!" Londo said, holding his arm out in front of himself for dramatic effect. Then he released Sho and began a thinking pose, "Hmmm, but I wonder what our Rank up Mission will be... My first one was to take down Vulcanus with Lucia and Kim, we accidentally killed him because the creator didn't want us to take him in, but we still accomplished the mission, and-" Londo cut himself off, remembering Maron and how she had gotten killed by the hentai tentacle guy, his eyes burrowed in anger, but he just as quickly slapped his knee, laughing, "Haha, good times! I haven't seen Kim in forever, I wonder if she managed to get to C rank without me knowing... Anyways, what was your first rank up mission like Sho?" |
Sho Kazehaya Health: 150/150 Prana: 150/150 Stamina: 150/150 Air Saber: Not Summoned • STR: B • VIT: E • WIL: E • RES: E • SPD: B • AGL: B • PER: E • REC: B Current Status: +1 Strength Skills Active: Fairy Levitation (Passive), Proficiency (Passive) Current Equipment: Revival Bracelet (Inactive), Warrior Heart (+1 Strength) Lysett didn't accept the bracelet, pushing it back when he tried to give it to her. He was confused as Lysett started saying how she thought it wasn't fair. She thought he'd probably have a harder mission than the escort mission, and that she shouldn't have what he got from the tournament earlier. He understood what she meant, but there was another thing bothering him. "I don't know, I don't really need it...And a lot of people have just been disappearing out of nowhere lately, so I don't want you to disappear too." Sho responded with a worried tone, bringing up what he hadn't mentioned until now but had been bothering him for a while. So many of the SOULs he'd met had just vanished without a trace, and he couldn't even remember an exact number of how many...it was especially bad with the people he'd met in his first day as a SOUL, with Lysett being one of the few ones left from back then, other than that angel lady and Londo who was too crazy to call a friend. If Lysett didn't change her mind about refusing the gift, he'd put the bracelet back on his left wrist. Eukina had tried reassuring him that Lysett could handle herself."Thanks, just be careful out there." He'd just have to leave it up to them to handle that escort mission, since he couldn't join it himself. He already had a lot to worry about anyways with the rank up mission. Right after that, Londo tried to suddenly put an arm around him and then give some egocentric speech about their upcoming mission. "Eh?" Sho backed away this time to avoid it, being almost used to Londo not respecting personal space. "Could you not do that..?" It didn't look like Londo cared though since he kept on rambling about his own previous rank up mission, where he had to capture some guy named Vulcanus but had accidentally killed him- Sho went silent for a little while, shocked at how Londo had gone through the exact same thing as him. Then once he was back to normal, Londo had finally stopped talking, and he hadn't really heard the last of what he said. "Sorry, what was that last part?" If Londo asked him about how his own first rank up had gone, he'd think about it for a little bit before responding. His own rank up mission hadn't been fun to say the least, since he'd had to fight kidnappers in that one too, and only one of their victims had still been alive when they showed up...They'd had to kill one of them too while the other blew himself up, although Sho hadn't had to do it himself. "In that mission I teamed up with Alatar and Amber, and we had to fight some kidnappers...It was pretty tough, but we managed to save the kid they'd taken." He explained briefly what happened, not happy to look back on what had happened back then. Now he'd had to deal with kidnappers twice, and missions with potential hostage situations three times...He left out the part with all the other victims who were already dead by the time they got there along with the deaths of the guys who did it, not wanting to bother Londo or anyone else. |

Lysett's wearing Charisma's hat Sho's argument brought back something that had indeed been happening a lot. Even if there were many new SOULs coming to Yvalia every day, there were many of them suddenly going missing as well. Lysett could easily name a few of them off the top of her head, and those were bound to be only a portion of the ones that vanished. Even so, she couldn't bring herself to accept his gift and once again refused while trying to not hurt Sho. "See? Even Eukina thinks I'm a capable and grown up lady. I need no puny bracelet to keep myself alive out there, haha! No, but seriously, you should keep it for your mission. Thanks for worrying about me, Sho." She smiled at him, sincerely glad for his concern and blushing slightly. Amice's reply came in shortly afterwards, and she seemed confused as if that was her first break ever. It was sort of unsettling that it could very well be the case given how old she was, but Lysett set that aside for the moment being. @Elvario "I'd usually look to do fun things when on a break, especially with friends. What about hanging out with April? Grab a bite with the money you got from last mission, maybe? Or buy new clothes! Those are usually great ways to unwind and relax. There's nothing stopping you from training a bit if you feel like it, though. In the end, it's all about what you feel like doing! I'll probably depart soon, so I'll send you another message once I wrap things up there. Good luck on your day off!" The first healer that came to mind was a perfect fit for the mission, but there was one single problem... "It says here that having a Divine in the party could help Celestia's reputation, and I happen to know one Divine healer, but her relationship with Unholy is a bit troubled..." She recalled Lucia's last encounter with an Unholy and how ugly things got, and started to go over other options. A mention to pixies caught Lysett's attention, and Lysett noticed the dragon lady Amice had mentioned later. She replied after making a mental note to ask about the whole kamikaze thing later. "Yeah, that's Amice. I invited her earlier today, but she just sent me a message saying that she doesn't feel like joining this one... I guess I'll send Lucia a message after all; simply asking shouldn't hurt, right?" "Good morning, Lucia. How have you been doing? I'm sorry for all that went on back there, really... I didn't expect neither of you to react the way you did. Sorry! In any case, do you think you could meet me up in the dorm lobby right now?" "I'll go check if Lucia wants to team up with us, then I'll be back! Send me a message if anything comes up." After that, Lysett left the area and went back to the dorm building. |

Edward Durand Health: 200/200Prana: 150/150 Stamina: 100/100 AG: Not Summoned • STR: C • VIT: B • WIL: E • RES: E • SPD: D • AGL: E • PER: D • REC: E Current Status: +1 Vitality Skills Active: Knight Guard (Passive), Survival Drive (Passive/Inactive) Current Equipment: Knight Honor (+1 Vitality) The teleporter elf girl responded to his greeting while the others kept talking. The red-haired automaton was talking to the elf boy about an upcoming rank up mission, which meant they were going on that instead of the escort mission. Eukina had the same thought as Edward and said how they needed a healer, and also a close-range fighter. He could also fight up close, but him alone wouldn't be enough for a team of six. Even two close range fighters didn't seem that good with a team of six, and right now he was the only one. The others continued the conversation without him for now, bringing up the two candidates they thought of for their team's healer. One was Amice, a girl who could summon pixies which could heal, and the other was Lucia, the Divine he'd met on his first mission. Lysett went off to try to recruit her, but it seemed very unrealistic to expect a Divine to help a vampire... Everyone else here already had met him before, so he didn't need to introduce himself again. Instead, he brought up the obvious issue with Lysett's plan after she left to go find Lucia. "I doubt a Divine would be willing to help escort a vampire, so we should think of a backup plan in case she refuses to join. Are there any other healers who could join our group besides Amice and Lucia?" He didn't know what everyone was capable of, so he asked in case the others knew about anyone else who had healing powers. They also needed another who could fight up close besides him, but overall people who could do that were more common than healers, so it wouldn't be an issue finding someone for that. |
Londo the GREAT! Health: 200 / 200 Prana: 100 / 100 Stamina: 150 / 150 Gauntlets: Desummoned • STR: B • VIT: C • WIL: E • RES: C • SPD: C • AGL: E • PER: C • REC: D Current Status: Wearing yet another cool headlight, turned off. Also wearing Amethysts Earcuffs. Alice can only be heard by Londo, as she is just an observer paid to observe only Londo. Skills Active: Master Guard (Permanent) Sho didn't seem to hear Londo, so Londo repeated himself, "You know, your rank up mission? What was it like?" and after Sho explained it, "Nice! Saving kids is always a good thing! Sometimes they aren't so lucky..." Londo said, turning around and starting to walk away, "Anyways, Imma head out and wait for the mission, be sure to prepare yourself and be at your best Sho!" Then as he left the area, "Because, a future C rank is going to be with you, fighting alongside you!" |
[Mission Receptionist] Ciela Evidently, Eukina had finally decided to apply for the mission that was available. Though she did so wordless, thankfully, she still submitted a paper application, which meant that Ciela had to reply verbally. "Your application has been processed. Eukina Watashi on duty for "Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild confirmed." With Eukina, there were now four of the six people that were allowed to join the mission. So far, though, there were only two races included, the four of them being made up of two Humans and two Elves. Ciela couldn't help but wonder whether they would be able to get enough diversity to satisfy Celestia's desires. Then again, it was only a request; diversity wouldn't matter if Celestia didn't make it safely to her destination. |
Sho Kazehaya Health: 150/150 Prana: 150/150 Stamina: 150/150 Air Saber: Not Summoned • STR: B • VIT: E • WIL: E • RES: E • SPD: B • AGL: B • PER: E • REC: B Current Status: +1 Strength Skills Active: Fairy Levitation (Passive), Proficiency (Passive) Current Equipment: Revival Bracelet (Inactive), Warrior Heart (+1 Strength) Lysett reassured him about the mission and said she'd be fine even without the revival bracelet, and thanked him for worrying about her. "Ah, it's nothing really...I'd better get ready for my own mission. Good luck out there!" He wished Lysett good luck and then left the area, heading away from the mission hall to get ready for his rank up mission. Based on the last time, he'd have at least half an hour to get ready, which was enough to train a little without tiring himself out. He'd need any advantage he could get if it ended up as tough as the last rank up. |
[Mission Receptionist] Ciela Ciela returned to her work after confirming Eukina's application, ignoring the conversation they were having. But before long, another mission showed up already, this time from a mining company that had a CS infestation to deal with. What was unusual however was that they suspected foul play from another company having gone as far as releasing CS to damage their competitor...There was no confirmation of this, but it was definitely something the applicants would need to investigate while eradicating the CS present. They also needed to protect the miner there at the same time, so hopefully this team would be at least somewhat competent. So, Ciela sent out the notification to all available SOULs, waiting to see who would arrive this time. |
Alexander Reinhardt  (Armor unsummoned) It hadn't taken long for him to figure out Lysett was probably trying to recruit that Divine for this mission, based on the mission's details. But it wasn't anything for him to be concerned about right now, so he just focused on his main goal, properly planning out this escort. Along the way, he had started thinking over a strategy, and the roles of the members. They were in an unfortunate situation, as apparently, Astraea could not spare them some Vanibos. But nonetheless, she had already bought and paid for this vehicle-less and mount-less service, so they had no choice but to adapt to the situation. Alex thought back again to the roles of the members, starting with his own. He and Edward would be best suited for direct defense of the escort and her maid. He would still be capable of launching ranged attacks at any attackers as he body-blocked for one or the other. Of course, they would preferably not ever have to fight with her being in a vulnerable, attackable position in the first place, but they had to be ready for this scenario. He remembered Arona, because of her speech to Senza, but not her powers precisely. He remembered Eukina's name vaguely and eventually her face after thinking a bit. Regardless, he knew Lysett's abilties. But it would not be so easy to plan out an escape to rapidly hide their escorts this time without foreknowledge. He would need to have information on what their potential routes were. Having thought about it for a bit, Alex arrived at the mission hall and saw who was there. Edward, Eukina, and Arona were there. Meanwhile, he filled out the mission form on his COMB and sent it to Ciela. Mission Application Applicant: Alexander Reinhardt Applicant RANK: D Mission: Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild Mission Difficulty: D+ With that out of the way, he moved to talk to the rest of the group. All of them had been on the parliament mission, but he didn't really know the abilities of two of them. "Good morning, everyone. My abilities are based primarily on defense, and repairing my armor and sword. I'll likely be focusing on guarding our escorts directly. What abilities do you all have?" He didn't actually know edward's abilities fully, just that he had seen him use a defensive shield to bodyblock against the masked man. The reason he didn't remember Eukina and Arona's powers was because he'd only seen arrows and lightning as distant projectiles aimed at the masked man and not actually seen the senders directly while he was focused on the masked man. And he did not instantly remember everyone based on all the people that had introduced their powers at that time. |
  Valencia Ortiz Health: 150/150 Prana: 150/150 Stamina: 150/150 Peleg - Astral Gear: Not Summoned Strength: C Vitality: E Willpower: E Resistance: E Speed: C Agility: D Perception: D Recovery: C Current Status: Normal Active Skills: Animal Instinct (Passive) - Aptitude (Passive)  It was pretty busy in the mission hall, which seemed to be normal in the mornings. Valencia recognized the red-haired automaton, the dragon-attired elf with the lesser plot, the blue-haired archer, Edward, and a stern looking man whom she couldn't quite recall. She wasn't sure which mission they were all here for, and she wasn't eager to go around and ask about it. She also recalled the automaton behind the desk, Ciela, to prefer keeping any social interaction to a bare minimum, so Valencia figured she'd try to sign up through her COMB. After all, she had gained some experience in using the device. Mission Application Applicant: Valencia Ortiz Applicant RANK: D Mission: Help clear out the mines! Mission Difficulty: D+ |
Eukina Watashi Health: 150 / 150 Prana: 150 / 150 Stamina: 150 / 150 • STR: C • VIT: E • WIL: E • RES: E • SPD: C • AGL: C • PER: C • REC: E AG Status: Bow / Dagger Current Status: Normal Skills Active: Eagle Eye Arona Health: 100 / 100 Prana: 250 / 250 Stamina: 100 / 100 Barrier: Desummoned • STR: E • VIT: E • WIL: B • RES: E • SPD: E • AGL: E • PER: C • REC: E Current Status: Normal Appearence: Wearing Dragon horns and a tail Skills Active: Conservation (PermanentSPELLs require 85% Prana Costs), Static Charge Lysett left, saying she'd go and find a healer for them, Lucia. Eukina vaguely remember Lucia from the bath hall. Wasn't she a divine? It might take some convincing to get her here. Eukina couldn't think of any healers besides Lucia. Arona shrugged and shook her head, "I only know about Amice~." Eventually, the 5th member came into the Mission Hall, a tall person, who didn't introduce himself at all besides his abilities, how bland. Arona stuck a tongue at him afterwards, "Well, mister stranger person, I focus on ranged attacks with my Lightning~." She said, wiggling her fingers at him, "Oh, and just to not be rude, my name is Arona~." Eukina rolled her eyes, "I'm Eukina, I use archery. If you're going to be our fifth, and Lucia our possible sixth, then we may have the team fully fleshed out. We can stay near the VIP to guard her, forming a protective area around her and her Maid. Edward can guard the front, and you if you wish, but until the fighting starts I suggest on of you to be behind us as well. Another one of our members, Lysett, can stay near her. Lysett uses Spacial Manipulation if I remember correctly, and can teleport herself and others through portals and just plain teleportation. She and Lucia can stay near the VIP and her maid to heal and escort them in case and danger comes near them. Lysett left to go try to get Lucia on the mission, but I think it'll work out, Lucia seems kind enough to help, although I don't know too much about Holy and Unholy affairs." |
Edward Durand Health: 200/200Prana: 150/150 Stamina: 100/100 AG: Not Summoned • STR: C • VIT: B • WIL: E • RES: E • SPD: D • AGL: E • PER: D • REC: E Current Status: +1 Vitality Skills Active: Knight Guard (Passive), Survival Drive (Passive/Inactive) Current Equipment: Knight Honor (+1 Vitality) No one could think of any healers besides Lucia and Amice, leaving them little choice but to either hope Lysett could persuade a Divine to help Unholy, or find some way to get by without a healer. Some new people also showed up, including Alexander, the armor knight from the parliament battle, and Valencia. Alexander said his power was to repair his equipment and asked them all to explain what they could do. Valencia didn't say anything for now while Eukina and Arona reminded Edward of what he already knew: Eukina was an archer with various magic arrows while Arona was a typical lightning mage who attacked from afar. Eukina spoke more about their possible strategy, which had Edward and Alexander on defense while Arona and Eukina attacked from farther back, with Lysett and Lucia (if she could be persuaded somehow) supporting them with spatial and healing magic respectively. Now that everyone else in their group spoke up, it was Edward's turn. He knew they might not all remember what he could do, so he explained his powers again since Alexander had asked. "My name is Edward Durand, and my power is to create barriers. Like Eukina said, I can defend the front lines for our group." It seemed like Eukina had mostly the same idea as him, since he would go with a similar strategy of having the most defensive at the front, with ranged attackers behind them, and the most vulnerable supports and the person they were escorting in the safest possible area of the group. Lysett still hadn't returned, so he wondered just how that attempt to recruit Lucia was going...probably not very well knowing how much Divines and Unholy hated each other generally. Even so, they could use any chance to have a healer since it would be a lot more difficult without one unless they could afford enough potions to make up for it. |
'Berto' - The Savant  Health: 100/100 Prana: 80/80 Stamina: 100/100 Astral Gear: Summoned • STR: E • VIT: E • WIL: C • RES: E • SPD: E • AGL: E • PER: C • REC: E Current Status: Normal Skills Active: Conservation (Passive), Overdrive (Passive/Inactive), Tactical Monitoring (Passive/Active), Loop-Cast (Passive/Inacitve), Absolute Defense Territory (Passive) Savant would note that the hall was full of D ranks as he arrived. He did not mind the people and instead walked to a computer, opened it up and started using it. Studying the local politics and history. Things that regular people would just find boring. He considered that being an E rank, he would not necessarily try out a D+ Rank mission again. Despite of the last time being a success. He really tried his best to not be noticed by the people who were doing introductions, and kept on being standby, waiting for a suitable mission to be posted up. |
Alexander Reinhardt (Armor unsummoned) The red haired girl with the dragon tail was sticking her tongue out at him. Apparently, she didn't remember his name, even though she remembered hers. Before Eukina would go on to respond he would respond to Arona. Being a pretty calm person, he was difficult to phase, even if he was slightly irked by this."... I thought you also remembered my name from the parliament mission, Arona. I'm Alexander Reinhardt."Hopefully she would get the context, that he had recognized all of them and thus saw no need to ask their names. Eukina was being pretty rude too. Rolling her eyes, really? These youngsters nowadays. But her plan wasn't horrible, so he'd just focus on responding to the plan. "That defensive formation could work. But if we find ourselves in a terrain filled with dense cover, like a forest, Lysett should be a few hundred meters from the rest of us, in a covered position where she won't be detected at the same time as us. There she'll be ready to set up her portal to a location the enemy won't be able to see, if possible. This way, if the enemy group is far too powerful to fight directly, she can secretly evacuate the VIPs by approaching us in a covert way before launching her portal. While if the enemies are not too powerful for us to face, it will still be fine, as she can just join in the battle quite quickly either way, and our defensive forces around our escorts will still be mostly just as strong for the moment of any ambush. Meanwhile, if we encounter any clear high ground like trees in a forest, or hills, Eukina, your eyesight should make it possible for us to see any CS or others approaching from the horizon far before we normally could, and make better preparations that way." Of course, the same went the other way around, the CS would be able to see her earlier, but as far as they knew that was just 1 enemy, and many of them were not that smart. Only the wolf-type CS would be able to easily detect them if they found a good hiding spot for the VIPs, so scouting was pretty vital. No matter how strong their enemies were, it didn't matter if they lacked the knowledge of where they were to attack them. Naturally it would be a lot better if they were strong enough to fight the enemies head on, but preparing for a hidden escape seemed reasonable either way. The unfortunate bit was they simply did not have any Vanibos to run away with effectively, even if they could temporarily hide the VIPs against a stronger enemy force. That made direct combat the most likely scenario, but they'd just have to deal with it. Hiding them still had value even if the enemies had to be defeated in direct combat by the main force, as it still meant they weren't in the line of fire. They just had to be careful they didn't accidentally expose the VIPs to attack by separating them from allied protection in some way. It would be ideal if they had a Half-Elf Archer, but unfortunately they could not use the keen eyes of half-elves to determine enemy power levels far before combat by viewing them in a far distant horizon from high ground. It probably wasn't going to matter though, this was not an urban mission, they did not have much cover to take advantage of for any possible escapes, and no mounts either. So it was decently likely they could not fully evade combat altogether. |

[Mission Receptionist] Ciela Soon after Ciela released the message about the mine mission, another SOUL entered the room and filled an application on his COMB. Rather than being here for the mine mission, though, he too wanted to join the escort mission. A third human joining the mission left only one more spot for the group to try for diversity, but it was highly debatable whether three of eight races would be sufficient for Celestia's special request. Ciela chose to be optimistic and assume they'd be able to make her happy by finding a willing Divine, unlikely as it might be, as she sent out the confirmation message. "Your application has been processed. Alexander Reinhardt on duty for "Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild" confirmed." Then, another COMB application arrived on her computer; this one from Valencia applying for the mine mission. Ciela couldn't help but wonder why Valencia chose to not sign up for the Escort mission, but it wasn't up to Ciela to decide who went where for missions such as these. A flurry of metal fingers on the keyboard led to the sending of a message similar to the one Alexander received to Valencia. "Your application has been processed. Valencia Ortiz on duty for "Help Clear out the Mines!" confirmed." |
Alatar Irving  Health: 150/150Prana: 200/200 Stamina: 100/100 Astral Gear: Unsummoned • STR: E • VIT: E • WIL: C • RES: E • SPD: E • AGL: E • PER: D • REC: E Current Status: Normal Skills Active: Conservation (Passive), Mind Focus (uncharged, 1/1 use remaining) Alatar made his way to the Mission Hall after leaving his room, only to find a number of people already gathered there. Then again, there were two missions available. While there wasn't a shortage of people gathered, there would probably still be space, unless the missions had unusually small number limits. Alatar made his way to Ciela's desk and filled out a form there, but by now he had decided to limit his dialogue towards Ciela to just a simple "Good morning, Miss Ciela." Even that was probably aggravating to her, but just throwing pleasantries completely out would be too rude. Once his application had been processed, he'd step off to the side to be out of the way of anyone else seeking to apply. Mission Application Applicant: Alatar Irving Applicant RANK: D Mission: Help clear out the mines! Mission Difficulty: D+ |
[Mission Receptionist] Ciela Another mission was available for Ciela's approval. This one was an eyebrow-raiser, although Ciela had neither an eyebrow muscle nor the emotional aptitude to raise it. CS coming through portals was certainly a new one, though. It was in a rural area, but it looked like only CS had shown up through the portals. A hunter was the one to submit the request and wanted to accompany the SOULs he had hired in hunting the CS. Well, no matter how stupid the client, if there was a request to kill CS, Astraean SOULs would respond. Ciela sent the message out to all SOULs available. |
The Harbinger  Health: 100/100Prana: 100/100 Stamina: 100/100 AG: Not Summoned • STR: E • VIT: E • WIL: D • RES: E • SPD: E • AGL: E • PER: D • REC: E Current Status: None Skills Active: Undying (Passive) Current Equipment: None The Harbinger swung open the door to the Mission Hall and stepped inside. He was immediately caught off-guard by the room's interior. It looked so different from what he was used to. From the white-grey colour palette, to the high tech computers, to the strange architecture - everything was entirely foreign to him. It was all very off-putting. Not to mention the various assortment of people inside. He had been right in guessing this place would be populated, he quickly scanned the room and counted 7 of them. Most of them were quite normal looking but a couple caught his attention, one was the girl who appeared to be trying to emulate the appearance of a dragon and the other was a pretty woman with ears and a tail. He also saw an elf with light blue hair wearing a white cloak and tunic, who he had failed to see the first time around. That made 8 in the room, 9 if The Harbinger included himself. At the desk, on what looked to be a stage, stood a strange looking woman with a helmet of some kind on her head. She looked to be like someone who was in charge, or at least a staff member of some kind. The blue haired elf was at the desk, presumably in conversation with the helmet-wearing woman. Four of the SOULs stood together talking, another one was at a computer by himself, and the woman with the ears was interacting with her COMB. The Harbinger guessed that she was a "beastkind", one of the races that he had briefly read about. He made his way over to the beastkind woman, his gait relaxed and smooth. He kept his hood up covering most of his features, the half-mask he wore also helping to maintain his anonymity. His bluish-pale skin was barely visible under the shadow of his hood, his blue eye shined brightly, and his grey hair flowed out onto his chest. He made it to the woman and cleared his throat to get her attention. When/If she noticed him, he would begin to speak in a harsh whisper that was only just audible. "I have questions that you will answer," was all he said. The statement could have been interpreted as rude, but The Harbinger was used to getting his way and never really asked for things - instead, he expected them. He put his hands behind his back as he waited for an answer, gloves covered his hands, his clothes keeping most of his skin unseen. |
Valencia Ortiz Health: 150/150 Prana: 100/100 Stamina: 150/150 Peleg - Astral Gear: Summoned 50/50 Strength: C Vitality: E Willpower: E Resistance: E Speed: C Agility: D Perception: D Recovery: C Current Status: Normal Active Skills: Animal Instinct (Passive) - Aptitude (Passive) Valencia just silently stood in a corner being all edgy and stuff, listening to the others and wondering whom else would end up signing up for the mission in the mines. She didn't like the idea of Amice being forced into another mission, let alone another escort mission, after what she knew the halfling girl must've gone through yesterday. That said, she didn't dare to ask her to join the mines mission either, as Valencia still felt guilty about dying. After all, if she hadn't died, maybe the mission would've been less dramatic for the halfling girl. That said, if Amice did end up joining the mission in the mines, maybe Valencia could try to redeem herself..? The thought stuck. However, she was approached by one of the ugliest creatures she had even had to witness. The half-mask wasn't enough, as it didn't cover the other grotesque part of his face, clearly showing his Unholy nature. After what she had gone through thanks to the Unholy during her life, and with how the two Unholy she had met in her afterlife being barely an improvement, she truly wasn't eager to deal with another one of them. Making things worse was that he had gone straight to her and demanded her to answer a question. Her sole reaction was summoning her weapon to start leaning a bit on it. She didn't even want to look at the gross figure in front of her more than needed. |
The Harbinger Health: 100/100Prana: 100/100 Stamina: 100/100 AG: Not Summoned • STR: E • VIT: E • WIL: D • RES: E • SPD: E • AGL: E • PER: D • REC: E Current Status: None Skills Active: Undying (Passive) Current Equipment: None The woman summoned a lance and leant on it, she only glanced at him, not even looking at him now. Annoyance flared but he didn't show it, keeping his expression stoic. This woman clearly didn't relish the opportunity to talk to The Harbinger, he wasn't the most pleasing to look at and he certainly didn't approach her in a friendly way. However, he wanted answers, he would persist. He briefly contemplated summoning his mother's wand and blasting the woman in the face with a spell but thought better of it. He did not know how much power he had lost in being reborn, nor did he know how strong these people here were. Attacking her for her insolence would be foolish. He thought it would perhaps be better to try a more... tactful approach. He knew people didn't trust those who hid their identities so he supposed a good start was to lower his hood. Slowly, so as not to alarm the beastkind, he moved his hands upwards and pulled the hood back from his face. His features were now visible in the light and illuminated the ugliness of his face. His skin was a bluish-purple colour and the veins were dark red, crisscrossing his face like scars just beneath the skin. His eye was bright blue, shining unnaturally and giving him a surreal look. The half-mask he left untouched, what lay beneath was worse than the already menacing look that the mask gave him. The eye beneath the mask seemed to glow red through the eyehole. The mask covered most of one side of his face but the ear was visible, protruding through his long grey hair. It was rotten and black, almost as if it belonged to a corpse. It hinted at the possibility of what could lie behind the mask. He outstretched his right hand to be shaken, bowing his head slightly - his one visible eye remained locked in an intense stare on the woman. "Forgive me, I have only just been reborn. My manners are not exactly on par with what is customary. My name is The Ha- Lorenzo... I have some questions regarding Astraea and SOULs. I was hoping you could help me," he said, in the same harsh whisper he had used before. Unfortunately, that was his voice and no matter how he tried, he couldn't make it sound hospitable. It pained him to speak so politely, but for now, there was no other option. |
Valencia Ortiz Health: 150/150 Prana: 100/100 Stamina: 150/150 Peleg - Astral Gear: Summoned 50/50 Strength: C Vitality: E Willpower: E Resistance: E Speed: C Agility: D Perception: D Recovery: C Current Status: Normal Active Skills: Animal Instinct (Passive) - Aptitude (Passive) Sadly enough, the creature in front of her forced more of its ugliness to be on display by removing its hood. It even went so far as to stretch out a hand to be shaken, but no matter how much Valencia wished to stay calm and collected, that wasn't going to happen. She didn't want to touch this creature with anything other than her weapon. That said, it seemed to barely manage an act of courtesy, so she figured the least she could do was stay calm enough to brush him off. “You should be able to find most answers through the device on your wrist. If not, the blue automaton behind the desk over there is in charge here, she'll have the answers, provided she'll want to give them.” Considering his entire introduction, and even his name, felt about as forced and fake as it could get, she didn't bother giving him her name either. She just hoped he'd move on, and out of her sight. |
Ryan Zokkendov  Health: 150/150 Prana: 150/150 Stamina: 150/150 Astral Gear: Not Summoned - STR: D - VIT: E - WIL: E - RES: E - SPD: C - AGL: B - PER: E - REC: C Skills: Aptitude(Passive), Burning Spirit(Passive) Status: Normal On his way to the Mission Hall, Ryan munched on the snack that Elizabeth kindly enough offered to him as he was about to rush out the dorms. Quickly eating it as he read the surprisingly fast reply of Bao: Mitigation? Don't you mean Meditation? That's good though! I have a small problem though... I left for Septima yesterday. I transferred to a branch near my old home. I think it would be time for a new teacher, as I wasn't very good to be honest. I think our fighting styles and weapons are too different Once he finished reading, Ryan reduced his walking speed. It was certainly a shame that Bao left, but it was understandable, he must've felt way more melancholic than Ryan thought. However, Ryan was not one to hold people back, especially ones that he had met so shortly. It was still a little sad, since Bao was nice to be around. "Good for him", Ryan thought as he clumsily typed on his bracelet: A shame to read that. It was nice having you as a sparring partner, even if for such a short time. Do not fret, your teachings were quite helpful. I was looking for a way to calm myself, and you provided a good one! Thank you. As he finished to send his message, Ryan arrived to the Mission Hall. As busy as it tended to be around this hour, so he didn't pay that much attention to the people around for now, instead focusing on filling the usual sheet and handing it to Ciela "Good morning, Miss Ciela" By this point, Ryan had clear that it was a lost cause to greet Ciela, but Ryan was accustomed to greet people, even distant ones. Mission Application Applicant: Ryan Zokkendov Applicant RANK: D Mission: Help clear out the mines! Mission Difficulty: D+ Once he got registered, Ryan would turn to the SOULs waiting around. The first thing that stood out was Valencia's lance. Even if she looked as calm as usual, it was certainly not normal to have one's weapon summoned here, especially with a gloomy looking individual facing her. As the guy was between them, Ryan kept his focus on him from where he was standing, in case it actually attempted to attack Valencia with a hand near his shoulder, as if ready to pull out his sword from his back. |
Carolus Rex  Health: 100/100 Prana: 100/100 Stamina: 100/100 Astral Gear: Carolus's Sword, Active 10/10 Status Effects: None Soldiers: 8 Carolus strode into the area purposefully, the men who he had summoned back from death walking in formation in a way that clearly demonstrated hours of practise in marching formations. The uniforms, guns, and unanimous movement of the train of men eliminated any doubts of what they were. A well trained force of troops from some military or another. Carolus leading the column would likely lead other to the conclusion that he was at the head of this army as well. Similar to the way they had done before in the sparring hall, the squad of eight men moved off to the side of the hall and stood at attention in formation. They awaited instruction from Carolus with absolute obedience, and not even their eyes swerved around to look at those in the hall, instead just looking straight ahead. Carolus gave the men a simple wave, and the man on the front row in the left most position spoke a sharp command in his hoarse, raspy voice. "Avslappnad!" All men in the formation went to ease, letting their muskets down from the shoulder position and resting it in front of them, taking up a more comfortable standing position. A few removed the tricorne hats that they so commonly wore and held them at their sides. Carolus glanced down briefly at his bracelet, looking at a notification for a new mission posting. Unfortunately, there was a small message that notified him that he was barred from joining this mission, though it didn't provide the basis as to why he was not allowed to do so. For now, he'd wait and see if any good E rank missions would appear, and additionally began browsing information on the missions posted. |
Aoyama Hana  Health: 100 Prana: 100 Stamina: 100 Astral Gear - Kusarigama: Not Summoned. Attributes: •STR: E •VIT: E •WIL: E •RES: E •SPE: C •AGI: C •PER: C •REC: E Resist: Dark | Weak: Light Current Status: None. The first thing that Hana would notice once she entered the Mission Hall was just how extremely antiquated her choice of clothing was. Not that she was to blame, it was, after all, her cultural attire, an attire commonly used at her time, a time that was long gone for at least some centuries, that train of thought did not help. Hana would raise her head to take some quick glances at those who currently stood at the mission hall, only paying attention to some of those present at the moment. A woman with animal ears who leaned against her lance, and a man close to her, his visage half-covered by a mask, an ominous figure for sure. A man who seemed to be the leader of his own retinue of soldiers, he emanated a taciturn and noble aura, one of times ancient and foggy, she also took a quick look at others at the hall, young ones who seemed to be around her age, Hana instantly felt more comfortable, but not enough to break her shell. "Oh please Aoyama Hana, take a hold of yourself and be more! Be better!" The girl inhaled deeply, and raised her head... Some few degrees upwards, an improvement nonetheless. As evidenced by the COMB and everything else that now surrounded her, technology progressed tremendously since her time, it was all too fascinating, even spawning a new species as she had read from the Encyclopedia. It took her mind to a brainstorm, imagining the capabilities of the now novelty of technology (A novelty to her antique mind). She was snapped from her tiny little world when she recalled what she came to do. "Be active!" She would look at what seemed to be the head of this area, a woman donning a metallic crown, she would also notice that the balcony where she stood was filled with people, enough to keep her away from that place. Hana would bring herself to the less populated area of the Hall, leaning against the wall as she fidgeted through the COMB, her expression focused and stern. "There must be a way for me to accept these quests remotely!" And with some considerable delay, she would finally crack the technological disparity barrier! Filling the form and submitting it. Mission Application Applicant: Aoyama Hana Applicant RANK: E Mission: "Clear the River!" Mission Difficulty: E+ Hana was satisfied with herself, she managed to successfully interact with technology and it was a fulfilling experience, the girl smiled and her posture relaxed, conjoining her hands and letting them rest on her chest. She would await for any orders emitted by Astraea, and would not interact with anyone unless approached. |
Miyu Ogawa  Health: 150/150Prana: 150/150 Stamina: 150/150 Astral Gear: Unsummoned • STR: C • VIT: E • WIL: E • RES: E • SPD: C • AGL: C • PER: E • REC: D Current Status: Normal Skills Active: Aptitude (Passive) After a bit of unintentional wandering, Miyu eventually made it into the Eastern Staff Lobby. From there, even she was able to take the elevator to the Mission Hall without guidance, not that Rinia was all that impressed by her independence in such a simple action. Though the structure of the room was the same as always, it was rather more crowded than it had been almost any other time she had been here. The only time she had seen more in here was when they met the other day for when the city was being attacked, and this looked like it was getting close to a similar number. Some of the people were quite strange looking, especially the old man surrounded by several other older men. And that... whatever... that was speaking with Valencia. Miyu wanted to go over to Valencia, to ask about how the mission went, but with something like that right next to her Miyu was much too intimidated. Get a move on, Rinia's voice commanded Miyu inside her head, stirring Miyu's feet forward in an almost instinctive manner. Miyu couldn't really focus on the situation, still too frightened by the sight of the thing, so her steps were lacking energy and motivation as she walked down the steps towards Ciela's desk. Upon reaching Ciela, Miyu would softly say "U-um, I'd like to apply," as she reached for a form. Saying and doing so would remind Miyu that she actually hadn't read what missions were available, so she didn't even know if she could join anything. Taking the form, Miyu would scurry off to the side, where she would open up her COMB and read the available missions swiftly. After last time, she was decidedly not motivated for an Escort mission. Besides, she'd probably just make the important person more likely to die. That left two missions, one of which was an E+ rank. Miyu was a D rank though, so it'd be rude to take a mission she was overqualified kek for. That left the mission in the mines. Miyu had never really had experience going into a cave or mine or anything, so that could be interesting. Besides, it looked like Valencia had signed up for it too, so there was always that. Decision made, Miyu filled out her form and turned it in to Ciela. Mission Application Applicant: Miyu Ogawa Applicant RANK: D Mission: Help Clear out the Mines! Mission Difficulty: D+ After that was done, she stepped away from the desk. She wanted to go speak to someone, or at least hide next to them while pretending to be their friend, but she didn't really know anyone other than Victorique. Several of the faces were familiar, like Mister Ryan, but she wasn't really comfortable with any of them. So, she just sort of backed off to an empty section, waiting to be spoken to or sent off for the mission. |
Lucia Flores  Health: 150/150 Prana: 200/200 Stamina: 100/100 AG: Not Summoned • STR: E • VIT: E • WIL: C • RES: C • SPD: E • AGL: E • PER: E • REC: E Current Status: Normal Skills Active: Sacred Wings (Passive), Blessing (Passive), Angelic Vision (Passive) Current Equipment: None Lysett asked her to give her a chance to prove her wrong, saying it would be nice to make friends with a former enemy..."You may be asking a little too much there...and please don't ask me to heal her, light magic is not healthy for vampires." She hoped Lysett wouldn't expect her to be friends with a vampire, when she'd basically seen vampires as an enemy her entire life. Even joining this mission was already difficult enough. After Lysett went to drop off her hat and returned, Lucia walked with her to the mission hall, wondering why she was so attached to the hat. Once she was there, she walked into the mission hall and headed to Ciela's desk to fill out the form and apply for the mission once it was her turn in line. Mission Application Applicant: Lucia Flores Applicant RANK: D Mission: Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild Mission Difficulty: D+ "Since Lysett asked for my help, I am here to apply for the escort mission." It was clear she wasn't exactly eager to join, but she still felt a debt to Lysett from the incident a week ago, and this was how she would make up for it. After filling out the form, she moved away from the desk to not bother Ciela and found somewhere to sit down. Lucia didn't have much to say for now, since she was still wondering if she'd made the right choice in signing up. She also did her best to look away from the very repulsive zombie-looking thing, since it was almost painful to make eye contact. It helped that there was someone else in the room with a more handsome face (Alatar), but she tried not to stare... |

Lysett's wearing Charisma's hat Another one of Amice's messages reached Lysett shortly after she left the lobby, reminding her that the girl was from the past and that she should speak more clearly as to not leave her even more confused. @Elvario "It means getting something to eat, Amice. You could go out and try to find something suuuper tasty to eat, and maybe invite someone as well! As for clothes, there's never enough clothes for a girl... Wait, no, I don't mean it literally! Like, there are, but you can always find some new cute clothes to wear, right? Sometimes I just feel like wearing something different, and it's nice to be able to do so. Why don't you try making a list of things you want to do, and then put them in order of what you want really, really feel like doing to what you want to do the least? Ah, I forgot to mention! I'll be borrowing Lucia to help us on the mission, so she won't be there for a while. Sorry for that! I'll be going for now, so good luck with that!" Reading the message before hitting the send button made her realize that she'd been slowly picking up on Amice's habits of writing her thoughts on her messages... She sighed, making yet another mental note to keep that in check before it got out of control. After a short walk to the Mission Hall, Lysett noticed it'd become even more crowded than before. Not only did the amount of people inside grow substantially but two new missions showed up while she was gone, which seemed to explain the former fact. Once again Lysett could notice various new faces around, including the old man who led a small army, an extremely beautiful and elegant lady and a man whose face showed clear signs of exposed flesh. Despite being the most unusual one around, the last one couldn't compete with the lady's sheer beauty, or at least it worked like that for Lysett. She poked Lucia before whispering to her. "That lady is soooo pretty! I wonder where she came from... Have you seen her before, Lucia? People like you two... you're so unfair, you know?" After waiting for Lucia to sign up, Lysett looked around for the mission's squad and went towards them, seemingly triumphant. "I'm back! Lucia agreed to join, but on one condition: she said she won't be helping if Celestia turns out to be a bloodlust obsessed vampire. Assuming everyone is alright with that, we've got out healer right here." |

Plus, if Lysett makes her portal and teleports away with the VIP, what's to say there isn't something waiting at the other side. Your plan is nice, but unless we are in a city like last time, it probably won't work as well. I'd rather Lysett stay with us, as she can also paralyze opponents if they are too powerful, to let us escape more easily. Remember, all we have to do is escort the VIP to the destination, we don't have to win any fights." Lysett finally came back, and brough the divine with her, Lucia. Eukina waved to both of them, then shrugged, "If the VIP is a blood-crazed vampire, we wouldn't be signing up for this mission. I wouldn't think Astraea would accept missions for people like that. On an unrelated note, for everyone who doesn't have others added, let's do it now, in case we get seperated." Eukina said, holding up her COMB and showing and adding everyone who also showed their COMB ID, with Arona doing the same. Eukina then gestured to Alexander, "If you want to go over the plan so these two are up to date, be my guest. You seem to like plans so much. Just keep in mind what I said about cover." It's not like Eukina's opinion mattered anyways, as she was just a regular filthy human archer. I'm also surprised Canaas didn't add multiple scenarios to his plan in case it was dark, there were plains, or everything was on fire so we'd all have to read 2 pages of notes. Afterwards, Arona snuck up behind Lucia, or not, depending on what Lucia was focused on, and grabbed her from behind, "Oh come on dear~, it's not as if all Unholy are bad~. Get with the times~. You don't see me trying to zap these lowly" Arona said, making air quotes at 'Lowly', "Humans do you~? Just relax and have fun~." |

She told him that he would get answers from his bracelet and from the automaton behind the desk. He glanced over at the automaton when she was mentioned, so that's what that particular species looked like. Strange, he had never encountered such a creature before. This world's technology was still foreign to him, and the existence of a robotic entity even more so. The Harbinger turned his attention back to the beastkind but as he did more people began to enter the Mission Hall, he turned his attention briefly as they flooded in. He noticed he was getting a lot of stares, a smaller girl with grey hair lingered a little longer than The Harbinger liked. He made note of the girl and kept his predatory gaze on her for a few more seconds before turning back to the beastkind. The stares he got convinced him to put his hood back up, shadowing his grotesque features once more. He didn't look forward to the reaction these people would have if they saw him in combat, half-mask removed and all. He was used to people staring at him, but it didn't mean he enjoyed the attention. He would much prefer to be in the shadows, watching from the sideline with anonymity intact. He knew this beastkind would not be any help to him, clearly, her prejudice against him was already strong. "Tha-" he started to say 'thank you', but decided against it and simply walked away without another word. He noticed a newcomer with red hair who seemed to be looking at The Harbinger and the beastkind, the boy looked ready to draw his sword. The Harbinger paused mid-step and locked his gaze on him, his hand twitched, ready to summon his wand. However, his self-control - which wasn't very good - stepped in and he managed to continue on his way. He made note of the red-haired boy as he did the grey-haired girl. Potential enemies were people he kept a close eye on. He glanced around, looking for someone who would be of more help than the beastkind. Amongst the newcomers was a man who led a squadron of soldiers, well-trained ones at that. The Harbinger had led a similar force in his previous life, he knew from experience that military men were not easy to intimidate or get answers from. That one would be of no use to The Harbinger. A blonde-haired angel and her friend had also arrived, they went straight to the group of SOULs, however, and The Harbinger had no intentions of approaching those people. That left... the small grey-haired girl and a pretty woman in strange attire. Either one looked like they could give him answers, judging by the prolonged look that the grey-haired girl had given him and the beastkind, he guessed the two were acquainted. He supposed that approaching the girl could incite even more tension between him and the beastkind, that would not be wise. Yet. That left the pretty one. He turned to her and walked over. He noticed her relaxed demeanour, the way her hands conjoined on her chest, and the smile on her face. This one was kind, perhaps she would be more helpful than the beastkind. He stopped in front of the woman, not too close so he didn't encroach on her personal space. He would have to be civil here, it was the only way to get what he wanted. "Sorry to disturb, I was wondering if you could answer some questions that I have," he said in a harsh whisper. |

[Mission Receptionist] Ciela With the addition of the mission to the river, there were now three missions available for SOULs to take. Naturally, that meant that even more SOULs continued to pour into the Mission Hall, filling it far higher than its usual population. And, with more SOULs, there were more applications to approve. Ciela would take the applications as they came in, assigning the SOULs to their respective missions and sorting the names by mission so that she could announce their completion once she had a batch to do. Fortunately, three of the five who applied were all physical applications and for the mine mission, while the one for the river mission was a COMB application and thus even easier to process. Ciela gave her usual brief reply to those joining the mine mission, sending off an almost identical message to Hana as she spoke. "Your applications have been processed. Alatar Irving, Ryan Zokkendov, and Miyu Ogawa on duty for "Help Clear out the Mines!" confirmed" "Your application has been processed. Aoyama Hana on duty for "Clear the River!" confirmed." Finally, there was the final applicant for the escort mission. To Ciela's surprise (not that she showed any physical indication), Lysett had managed to recruit Lucia to join. Lucia added the caveat that she was here at Lysett's behest, but in the end that was irrelevant to Ciela. All that mattered was the eventual success of the mission, so if Lucia was willing to help there was no reason to question the decision any further. Ciela processed the application, reviewing the details she had been provided about the mission so that she could instruct the SOULs as to their next move. As she skimmed, something in the instructions caught her eye. It wasn't major, just something that felt a little off in the assignment. But, her superiors had approved the mission, so it wasn't her place to question. Ciela nodded to herself before turning from her computer to face the SOULs gathered. "Your application has been processed. Lucia Flores on duty for "Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild" confirmed. Attention, all applicants for the mission "Escort Celestia Mayer von Rothschild"! You are to meet Celestia Mayer von Rothschild at the Eastern Outpost; please make your way there after this. As noted in the mission description, everyone involved will be proceeding to Valindral on foot. Celestia has researched three possible routes to be chosen from, but is leaving the decision as to which up to you all. While Celestia may have included a variety of requests about things she would prefer to happen, be sure to remember that the mission objective is only to get her to Valindral safely. Mission failure because you were attempting to protect her maid, because you were concerned about her reputation, and so forth is unacceptable. That is all." After that brief speech, Ciela sat down again, hoping she would have sufficient time to finish another task before any more applications or missions were submitted, only to be interrupted by a beeping message on her console. The lower ranks were getting their fair share of missions today. Not that it mattered to Ciela, as long as the missions were completed successfully. The next one was a unique one, only asking for a single SOUL. It looked like Trinity Inc. needed some help from an outside source to deal with internal matters. Based on the restrictions of the mission, Ciela would only allow specific people to apply for the mission. People with no sense of volume or secrecy (Somehow, Ciela managed not to think about at a certain redhead) wouldn't be able to join. Ciela sent the message out to all SOULs available. |

There were already quite a number of SOULs in the room, and all Hannah could do was pray they were gathered for the other missions instead.

Attributes: •STR: E •VIT: E •WIL: E •RES: E •SPE: C •AGI: C •PER: C •REC: E Resist: Dark | Weak: Light Current Status: None. "I wonder how the mission will play out. I hope I will not be a disgrace to our group..." Hana's thoughts wandered through the empty plains of her mind, constantly shifting and changing. Memories of yore came to surface, and the image of the cloudy mountains of Aoyama flashed through her eyes, bittersweet memories those were. Hana was snapped out of her dream world when the notification that her application had been processed came, she was now 'On Duty', that made her heart skip a beat in excitement. "This is making me anxious, weirdly enough. New things make me anxious, I should take note of that." Once again her thoughts would drift away, her eyes wandering through the room, focused on nothing in particular. She seemed not to pay attention to her surroundings, and as such, the ones that recently came to the Mission Hall passed by unnoticed. This state of daydreaming would come with an abrupt end once the stern whispers of the ominous hooded man took Hana's mind back to reality. Her silver eyes now directed to the visage partially hidden by the mask and hood. Firstly, he stood at a distance the girl considered comfortable enough to not deem invasive, then he would apologize for his interruption, educated enough it seemed. He would then inquire if Hana could answer some questions he had, the man had unfortunately chosen the least qualified person to do that. "I shall try my best to answer these questions of yours. Please, do continue." The girl did not seem phased, if anything, her expression told the observer she most likely had the genuine intent to help, if that would be called kindness or naiveté was up to the beholder to decide. |

He was always perspicacious and thought little of those who were not aware of what happened around them. Reading a room and seeing where trouble was potentially brewing was a skill The Harbinger had honed extensively. She turned her attention to him as he greeted her, she responded in a way that The Harbinger deemed adequate. So far, he had no reason to dislike the woman. He would continue to be civil with the woman, for now, she had earned that at least. Another arrival entered the Mission Hall, one who seemed infatuated with the colour red. He paid her little mind though and focused his attention on the pretty woman. At this close distance, he noticed just how pale her skin was. More peculiar than that, however, was the silver colouring of her eyes. The Harbinger was not one to judge appearances, he cared little for what a person looked like, only how they acted. Even so, he noted these unique features, perhaps it had something to do with the supernatural, not many had silver eyes. This woman could be a wight or a demon of some kind for all he knew. He was wary of her but did not let this show, instead, maintaining his usual stoic expression. "Firstly, I suppose introductions are in order. I am Lorenzo, I was only just... reborn here, I'm a little more than curious about this place, Astraea especially." If she responded with her own name then he would bow his head slightly in acknowledgement. He would outstretch his hand and shake hers if she took it. His grip was firm but not too tight, the glove he wore covered up the skin but the sleeve pulled away briefly, displaying the same black rotten skin that his ear had. Once the handshake was over he would put his hands behind his back. |

Annabelle Korsakov  100/100100/100 100/100 0/0 E | D | D | D | E | E | E | E Annabelle walked into the mission hall, her eyes adjusting to the open window panels and sleek metallic aesthetic of the room. Like her first time here, there were an abundance of people. Annabelle swore she could hear what sounded like someone sitting at his computer screaming bloody murder, anticipating the toll it would take on his fingers and his sleep schedule. There were a few faces that she knew, although she wasn't acquainted with their owners. Some of the people who had been present after her summoning were there, too. The beanie-wearing grey-haired girl, the redheaded boy with the blue headband, the divine with a simplistic white robe... Annabelle didn't know them too well, but she didn't let her eyes linger on them for long. There were a couple faces that she didn't recognize. The first person she saw was a fancily-dressed mage who was smaller than Anna in stature- her fingers were either wrapped in shiny pink latex or were painted as such. The color of her fingers matched her unnatural magenta hair, her bangs fell to her eyelashes with long drapes of hair positioned right in front of her pointy elf ears with earrings that appeared to be some kind of orange-yellow gemstone, and the hair behind her ears were tied with two orange ribbons. On top of her head sat a very wide-brimmed deeply purple mage's hat with a brim at least one foot (.3 meters) long with white frills adorning the circumference. The crown of the hat was adorned with a large brown bow with a shoelace pattern in the front. The bottom side of the hat was made of a fabric of a lighter color; a light violet with a white star pattern. A rigid purple material with horizontal notches etched in every few inches came out of the sides of the hat- no, were they horns? Annabelle studied them carefully. They were horns- they were coming out of the sides of the mage's head rather than the hat itself. Annabelle had never heard of a horned elf before- although it was possible they were just decorations. On her neck was a black choker adorned with an orange bell? Looking closer it was modeled as a pumpkin- Annabelle realized her earrings were, too. Her dress was an odd mix between a traditional German (or Gaean equivalent) dress and a tutu- orange and deep purple fabric alternating in vertical stripes with white frills accenting her chest, with a shoelace corset-like tightness to it around the stomach before turning outwards in a sharp 90 degree angle into the tutu. Right beneath the white frills was the emblem of a bat, eyes glowing and wings wide up to her shoulders, where they were attached to a black hood withan orange interior. She had sleeves that weren't attached to any other garment, oddly enough, with the same color scheme as the cloak and a 7-pointed star pattern covering each end. The wrist had two white frills similar to the hat and the highest region of her dress. A black tail with a spade-like end extruded from the bottom of the dress- Annabelle couldn't tell if it was part of the mage or not. She wore black, knee-high stockings and orange boots with pointy tips pointing upwards such that the entire boot looked like a 'U'. On the back of the boots were Hermes (or Gaean equivalent) wings; except instead of white bird wings, these were wings of a bat. Even for Astraean SOULs, the girl's getup was heavily unusual, as if she had been- Annabelle's SOUL mind filled in the word- cosplaying. It was one of the weirder ensembles for sure, but the fact that Annabelle wasn't immensely surprised scared her in a sense. Help me, I'm getting desensitized to bad fashion. Annabelle tore her eyes away from the cosplayer and looked somewhere else, only finding something even stranger. Here was a man with regal features, with long, white hair billowing out of his hood, cheekbones high, jawline set- the entire thing reminded her of something out of a trashy romantic novel that a friend from her lifetime would tend to read. His facial features were not also concealed by his hood but by a mask. Get your money back. The mask-maker you hired obviously half-assed the job. Indeed, the mask was split in half ala Phantom of the Opera style. The right side of his face was hidden by what looked to be half a human skull, teeth and jaw intact. Oddly, the eye socket glowed red in contrast to his icy blue pupil, making Annabelle involuntarily shiver as she looked at it. The rest of his body was covered head to toe in armor that looked like leather to Annabelle, intricate patterns carved and buffed into the material. The spikes protruding from the torso and from multiple other places were obviously quite sharp, a skull of an unknown animal rested on his right shoulder. To Annabelle, he looked very foreboding, but overwhelmingly so to the point where it had one foot in the category of fear and the other in the category of gaudy. Of course, that doesn't mean he's not dangerous. Next; a woman who looked like she came straight out of a painting. The first thing Annabelle realized was how absolutely pale she was, as if her skin was made of porcelain and powdered with talc. She was likely unholy- what kind of unholy, Annabelle did not know. Her hair was wrapped into a tight bun, brown and almost brushstroke-like in texture, her bangs cut at the level of the forehead. On the top of her head, a decorative headpiece made of some sort of frilly white fabric, adorning her head were flowers of red, blue and white, and white pearls protruded out of the headset, moving back and forth with each subtle movement of the head. White, pointed ears protruded out of her hair- not pointed like an elf but more of a species that eluded Annabelle's name at the moment. Her face's utter paleness was accentuated with blood-red lipstick and eye shadow, her startling silver irises shone as she conversed with the skull-faced man Annabelle had described earlier. Her shirt looked like that of a martial artist's, with a diagonal line where it folded in on itself; it was both dark blue and white, the colors taking and giving ground in a sharp pattern. The inside of the jacket was red. Her skirt was one that was height-wise far too large for her, but somehow made her seem more elegant; the red fabric went over her jacket and above her navel, concealing how far the diagonal fold went. It stopped just above her ankles, not really frilling out at all. Little fish swum in the fabric, and Annabelle could almost see a painting of a calm lake if she stared at the painting woman's skirt enough. Her entire ensemble was made of some sort of smooth fabric- was it silk? Annabelle did not know. Her feet were bare and covered by some sort of sandal- Annabelle gawked at them as she realized that the bottom was not flat, but rather there were two blocks of wood on each sandal supporting the entire shoe and thus the woman's weight. I don't understand how that can be comfortable. At all. Next was man who was flanked by multiple soldiers. The way he handled and acted around them made it obvious that he was their leader of some sort. The man was, compared to the rest of the cast in the hall, refreshingly normal. His beige hair was parted to both sides. He had a prominent forehead and stern, steeply-angled and well-defined eyebrows. His eyes stared forward- the pupils were brown- and with his large nose, defined chin and stout mouth, he gave the impression of a very charismatic leader. His outfit (THANK YOU CON) was quite normal- a blue jacket with brass buttons, underneath that a yellow jacket with smaller buttons, underneath that a black turtleneck. His entire ensemble made Annabelle think of the countries further to the north. Annabelle took the time to study his men. Each held a rifle in their hands, and had a white wig with a blue ponytail attachment. On top of their head was a black tricorne hat with a white outline; their jacket and pants were the thematic blue and yellow of their leader's outfit. They wore simple brown boots, and their belts were loaded with tools for those in wartime- two straps going diagonally, one with what looked to be a sword without a handle, and the other carrying a large black pouch. Their faces betrayed no emotion and they stared at a point in the distance similar to their leader. 2, 4, 6, 8. Soldiers, not quite duplicate. There were two or three more people Annabelle wanted to take in, but Annabelle got an odd sensation that someone was suffering because of her need of absolute description. She'd have to do that later. For now, she walked down the steps, filling out an application which she showed to the ever-monotone automaton at the epicenter of the room.

However, having no nightmares or invasive thoughts this morning, had quite an effect on his mood, a positive one. As the demon stared at him, with an almost violent demeanor, which he easily recognized by the similarities to his own, Ryan lowered his hand. In a warm and almost cheerful tone, Ryan said "I am always up for a challenge, demon! There is no need to be so reserved" as a small smile appeared on his face. Even if what he saw put him slightly on edge, it didn't took much thought from Ryan to realize it was just a rude SOUL, once he scouted the situation a little more. Unlike Valencia's titanic effort to show no discomfort as she saw the demon other than passively threaten it with her lance, Ryan had no problem with its appearance. He already knew that here, not all dark creatures are evil, even if they don't look the best. With that in mind, Ryan showed no lingering tension towards the demon, nor did anger or disgust appear on his voice, not even on the word 'demon', which he didn't mean to use as an insult anyway. With the demon walking away, Ryan approached Valencia, greeting her with his bow-your-head-as-you-put-your-fist-against-your-chest salute. "Good morning, Miss Valencia... I sure hope I didn't interrupt anything important..." The very second he said those words, Ryan's mind received a huge shock. A shock he miraculously didn't let surface. "Did... Did I... just make a joke!?" |

Meanwhile, more people entered the Mission Hall, getting it crowded once more. Luckily enough, the grotesque appearance soon stopped blocking her view and wandered off. Soon enough, Alatar, Agam and Miyu were also on duty for the mines mission. It meant they were waiting on only one more person. That said, it seemed like Agam had his mind set on something else... As he challenged the creature Valencia was glad to to see gone. 'What is that idiot doing? The thing finally turned away from us, and now he risks calling it back...' That said, his comment towards her didn't help much. “Good morning.” She wasn't sure how to interpreted the second part. Was he joking? “Ehm, no. I'm just glad he's out of my face.” Probably not, he didn't seem the type to make jokes like that. That said, with that grotesque creature gone, Valencia would call out to Miyu. “Miyu, good morning. Did you want something?” She still felt a tingle of discomfort talking to her, the same as she'd feel talking to Amice. After all, being a fair bit older than both Miyu and Amice, she had felt a bit responsible for them, meaning she felt bad about how yesterdays mission treated them. That said, there was another concern. If Miyu would also come over, it meant most of their 'team' was at the ready, so she'd bring it up. “We've almost got a full team, but we might need someone with a strong focus on supportive magic if we want to keep that miner safe... The only ones I can think off are Lucia and Amice, but it seems like Lucia has already joined another mission, and I'm hesitant to ask Amice, after, well... how yesterday went.” |

"I am named Aoyama Hana, and like you, I was recently brought to this world." She would politely bow as it was customary of her people when acquainting themselves to others, noticeably her relaxed demeanor would be replaced by one more withdrawn and polite. The girl would lock her gaze to the man's eyes, one crimson and the other azure, the disparity in color gave him a supernatural aura, an unnerving oddity that made his figure all the more ominous. "I assume you are a SOUL as well, like the rest of those in this room, if my guesses are correct." Lorenzo would offer a handshake, stretching his arm and revealing a glimpse of the putrid skin which seemed to sprawl and take over that side of his body. "Skin akin to cadavers, this brings back memories to surface." Now that he was closer, Hana could take a closer look at his visage, and Lorenzo was clearly a man over his 40s, it was either that or he had aged particularly fast. His outfit and demeanor gave a hint of his past occupation, but Hana preferred not to question the man about such frivolities. "Astraea is a so called technological firm, so I've read, but apparently they are also keen about summoning SOULs." She would grasp Lorenzo's hand and accept his handshake, her grip was gentle and her form regal. After such formalities, Hana would once again conjoin her hands and now rest them on top her abdomen. She would pause for some moments, Hana would glance over to the other SOULs that continued to enter the mission hall, her gaze drifting back to Lorenzo. "If anything, you should further check the device on your wrist, the communication bracelet. It did help me with some things, maybe you will find it useful too." |
