Fable: The Ties that Bind (RP Thread)

[Haylie]

Scarlet takes the letter and looks it over for a moment. Then, looking satisfied, she turns back to Aloena and says, "Very good. Just choose a bed and get settled in. Training begins in the morning."

To Robin she says, "The... dormitory is your room. You only need to choose a bed."

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena selects a bed and sits on the nearest empty bed, unpacking her spell book, her Iron Mace, and other items. "Thank you very much for letting me stay." She senses Robin's uneasiness..."Is there anything wrong? You know, I am a bit nervous, myself...."

[muffinstud]

Cletus throws his possessions on one of the lower bunks and stretches. "Thanks for the accomodations, master Payne. That tavern sounds like a good idea. I could use a couple pints myself." He stretches his arms out in a welcome fashion at the other would-be heroes. "Come on boys, last night of freedom before training. Let's get pissed!"

[Haylie]

No sound from Crimson. No telling what's going on upstairs.

Scarlet speaks to the girls. "There's really nothing to worry about. It's very simple once you think about it. I only really get nervous when I have to speak to large groups."

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena nods..."So, what is your name and are you the Guildmistress that I heard much about? My mentor said you'd be able to teach us many new skills for whatever quests we are put up against." She looks over at Robin. "Hello, I am Aloena. What's your name and what profession did you choose? I'm going to be a healer...a priest, actually. I'm kind of new to this, since my mentor taught me thus far, and this is my first time away from my home, or what's left of it." She sits on her bed, feeling a bit sad about why she had to leave her home and stay with Vera, her mentor. Vera saved her from the destruction of her village and brought her to the Sanctuary of Priests, her home for her formal training. Now, she'd be working with others, like herself, who would depend on her healing powers to keep them alive in battle.

[Haylie]

She nods underneath her hood. "I am. My name is Scarlet. I will do my best, but my husband Crimson does most of the mentoring, even though he's an emotionless pig."

She smiles a bit at this, amusement tinging her voice.

[Tiffany Grimm]

Scarlet takes the letter and looks it over for a moment. Then, looking satisfied, she turns back to Aloena and says, "Very good. Just choose a bed and get settled in. Training begins in the morning."

To Robin she says, "The... dormitory is your room. You only need to choose a bed."

"Which I will ma'am!" Robin salutes and scurries off to her chosen bed.

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena looks over at her roomate, and the others. She then heads over to talk to Robin..."Hi, I'm Aloena Veratana. I just got in after my mentor, Priestess Vera, finally gave me the okay to come. I'm really nervous about training tommorrow."

[muffinstud]

Cletus wedges the necks of his two closest roommates into his elbows and drags them down to the tavern. One is the kid he spotted earlier picking his nose. The other is a scrawny, depressed looking kid with long bangs on one side.
"So, what'll it be?" asks the bartender.
"Five pints, my good man. One each for them and three for me!" Cletus gives off a hearty laugh.
"Marmalade!" shouts Nose-Picker.
"But I don't drink," eeks out Side-Bangs.
Cletus gives the boy an odd look and squeezes his neck a little harder. "Then start. Now."
Side-Bangs sighs. "My father died because of alcohol," he mutters, a tear starting to form.
"Chalkboard!" toasts Nose-Picker with his newly aquired beer-skin.
"The overgrown Hobbe is right." Cletus lets go of Nose-Picker and grabs a skin of his own. "You need a proper teacher. Me!"
With that, Cletus plugs Side-Bangs nose and starts pouring golden liquid down the kid's throat.
"Nothing like a hands on education, eh friend?" Cletus chuckles.
"Dogpaddle!"

[Haylie]

"Which I will ma'am!" Robin salutes and scurries off to her chosen bed.

"Jittery thing, isn't she?"



If the nose-picking lad (hereafter known as Hood) were to look several paces behind him, he might see a rather lovely young woman with jet-black hair and equally black Assassin clothing. He can't see her face, however, since she's paying absolutely no attention to anything beyond the three pieces of chicken on the plate in front of her, taking small bites and chewing slowly, as if poison-testing.

[Tiffany Grimm]

Aloena looks over at her roomate, and the others. She then heads over to talk to Robin..."Hi, I'm Aloena Veratana. I just got in after my mentor, Priestess Vera, finally gave me the okay to come. I'm really nervous about training tommorrow."

Robin nods. "It's nice to meet you Aloena! I'm Robin Locksmith, and I know JUST how you feel. These instructors... Well, to tell the truth, they kind of frighten me..."

[muffinstud]

All five skins have been drunk. Rather, most of them have been shoved down the throat of the depressed kid, who is currently smiling and dancing by himself.
Cletus is snapped out of watching his rather entertaining show by Hood, who is pointing towards someone eating at one of the tables.
"Filly!"
Cletus scratches his chin. "You're right, man. I should go talk to her. It'd be a shame if I didn't." He downs another swig of liquid courage and approaches the darkly clad woman.
"You know, last time I checked, chicken didn't bite back."

[Haylie]

Upon closer inspection, her hair is tied back in a long ponytail that almost reaches her hips by a shiny black clamp of some sort. Her ears are pierced, and hanging from the holes are two odd symbols that would remind someone of the Triforce, only the three points oblong and black. The outfit is obviously modified, for it shows much of her midriff and arms, and she's not wearing gloves, nor is she carrying any weapons.
She seems older than the first impression gives away, as is possibly the intention. She's certainly no older than 15.
She barely turns her head, just enough for Cletus to see the corner of her eye, half-closed with boredom. Her long ponytail shimmers in the lamplight.
"I think I would know that. What do you take me for?"

[Kris_Roth]

Aloena nods,  "Yeah, thanks.  I just hope I can keep up with the healing and keeping everyone alive.  Maybe I should learn to look for herbs that can be used to create health potions for those who fight in melee style, and mana potions for the magic users."  She hopes her and Robin can be friends.  She stifles a yawn..."It is getting late, Robin Locksmith...so, what are you training in?"

[Tiffany Grimm]

"Archery, it's what I'm good at... That's about all I'm good at..." *Yawns* Wow, you're right, it is late..."
