Human & Humanoid Roleplays / Re: Land of Lynthia (Accepting Members now on Hold)

(This'll be my filler as well :P)

Vell released a held breath at her acceptance into the mission. After her new temporary employer was done talking, she gave a curt nod to them and the others before quickly spinning on her heels and walking a couple of steps to her room. She hesitantly stopped, turning back for just another second. She had forgotten to tell them her name, "My name's Velleity. B-but just call me Vell." She waited a moment, staring at the others awkwardly as they went their separate ways for the evening. She wasn't even sure they had heard her. Oh well, it really isn't important anyway... She thought before walking off with her key in hand, her mind drifting off to the prospect of finally getting some rest.

@Shadow: So far only normal humans have the most people.
@Katsa: Thanks!~))

Vell smiled slightly when she was acknowledged, but that quickly faded when she was asked about her abilities. This question brought along with it more internal conflict on how to respond. Oh crap, what do I say? I can't say what I do, or what I'm good at or it'll be like raising a giant sign saying 'Don't trust me!' And this job could help me. I might not have to make another trip for a while if I'm paid half of what that other guy was. She shifted a little in her spot, preparing what story she was going to tell to the stranger. I could always just make it vague... No, I got this "I am usually a... messenger. I-I carry important messages or small packages from one city to the next. So... I'm fast, and... I've learned to defend myself. Oh, and if the situation demands it I'm good at being quiet." She said, loosening up and speaking more clearly with the believability of it all towards the end of the story. She gave a small smile when she was done talking, but still gripped the key tightly in her hand and practically radiated of nervousness.

She looked back to the wolf and the other guy, glad that they didn't seem to be watching her talk to their employer. Or at least not yet. Speaking of that, this group was growing pretty quickly. She hoped that the hooded stranger had enough to pay them all. But, why wouldn't they be able to? They seemed to be certain in their available funds, so she decided to push that concern to the side.

"If the real question is if I'm worth hiring, I'll simplify it and say yes, I am worth it." She added with a certainty to her words. This sudden self-confidence came about with the knowledge that the hooded figure was the only one seeming to listen to her. The less people around, the more comfortable she felt speaking.

Vell, after more than a minute of indecisiveness, took in a deep breath and forced herself to stand up. It was a hesitant movement, slow and unsure, but one she felt compelled to do. With equally as reluctant steps she made her way over to the group of strange characters that she had been watching. Her eyes darted from one corner of the room to the next before gathering the courage to look straight at the group. Come on Vell, you want to do something different for a change. Just ask them. Vell made a small cough to signal her approach before speaking in a quiet voice.

"Uhm... I- couldn't help but notice..." She began, forcing herself to look at the hooded figure. She still couldn't tell anything about them, even from right up next to them. Vell brought her hand up to her opposite arm, rubbing it as if she was cold. It was simply out of nervousness though. She hated speaking to others. It wasn't necessarily that she was shy either, she didn't mind being around others; but when she opened her mouth, she tended to say things she instantly regretted. "That you..."

She noticed that she had begun gripping the room key that she still held in her other hand. God, why was this so difficult for her? Oh, come on! The talking wolf can speak better than I can. She took in a deep breath and opened her mouth, but was cut off by a loud thump, followed by the sounds of chickens, and a small crowd outside. A moment later, a disheveled elf walked into the inn. She watched him curiously, relaxing a bit with the momentary distraction. I wonder what that was about... Gah! I'm standing here like an idiot- just finish the sentence.

Vell coughed to clear her throat, her voice growing slightly steadier, "That you are looking for some... assistance. I-I could be useful, if you need a-anymore help." She waited for the reply from the hooded figure, her eyes darting over to the guy with the axe. She noticed how tense he looked, but couldn't put her finger on what she could compare the look to. What's got him on edge? Next she turned to what she had decided was a wolf, and not a dog. A faint red churned around him, signaling aggravation, or something of the like. This red informed her of two things. One, that the wolf was easily irritable, as she hadn't heard anything that would have been insulting to him. And two, that she could also read the emotion of animals.

She had never gotten a color of emotion from an animal before. It was always just a faint grey of neutrality, or another boring shade of nothing. Never before had she seen something so distinguishable as the red on the frame of the canine. It fascinated her, but she forced herself to look back to the hooded figure. She didn't want to stare like that. That would be rude and weird; not a very good first impression.

(I tweaked Vell's form a bit. Edited in the code too if you want to place it over the one on the character list ^^;)

Vell's quiet laughter subsided shortly after, replaced by an extreme curiosity. She felt herself leaning forward a bit, her eyes drawn to the two strange characters as they conversed, her previous efforts to be subtle while listening tossed aside. At this point she just couldn't help but watch them. "I will take it, do not even explain." Vell picked up the wolf reply to the hooded figure, Quite obviously they offered a job. But what can a wolf do to help? Maybe it's just cheaper to hire than a person. But they paid that other guy a ton of money... Wait, why would they hire a wolf anyway? She was stumped as to that. Maybe it wasn't anything difficult. But then why did the other man quit?

"I couldn't help but notice you're looking for some help." She was pulled from her thoughts as the guy with the axe stepped up into the conversation, quite confidently, she might add. I couldn't help but notice that too. She added mentally, although didn't catch her assumption through direct words. She hadn't heard the hooded figure's proposition to the wolf, but her guess on work was correct, so the specifics didn't matter.Is this something I could help with? Because if they need another person... maybe I could volunteer too. I could be useful. She fidgeted in her seat with the thought, the key beginning to loosen up in her grip again. Should I go over there and say something? She gave the idea a good three seconds before inwardly scolding herself. What am I talking about?? I don't take jobs. I don't even know what they are needing done.

Vell decided to just wait and see if she could pick up anymore information about this task that needed completing, or the soon-to-be hired help. And who exactly was this mysterious person giving out such a vague quest? Vell couldn't really tell anything about them, even from such a short distance separating them. Heck, she didn't even know what gender they were!

(That idea sounds cool Katsa. I don't have any amazing suggestions, but maybe you could have her ability be simple magical healing but add a twist where when she heals someone, it drains her own health? Similar to Micaiah from Fire Emblem maybe. Or if you want to use something pertaining somewhat to emotions, why not allow her to see/manipulate other peoples recent/old memories? I don't know, just thought I'd help out a bit ^^;

And yeah Kuta, go on ahead ^^)

(I hate to be the bad guy here, but I really am skeptical about you saying it is unintentional. I'd like to ask you to change those things (even if it was unintentional) considering just how similar she is to Vell. (And because I'm a snarling pitbull at protecting my characters.) And I'm sorry, but you should have read the other forms in case you did accidentally did make a character that was a young, quick and agile, bare-footed girl with a hood over her face, the power to change emotions, no parents, and the inability to read. Speaking of, I don't mind that she is illiterate since Katsa makes a good point and Vell and Carina could be bffs cause of that or something.

But if ya just give her shoes, maybe take off the cloak since everyone seems to wear one, and change that power (Although it was very creative; I dare-say more fleshed out than mine too ^^) and she'll be amended enough in those little things and I wont feel like you might have read my form first.

I love her personality and history, btw. Very unique! ^^;

Oh, and has Kutanra been on? I was waiting for their reply, but I might just go on ahead.)

(I'm not sure exactly what Vell is going to do, but I like the idea :] Oh, and I fixed the colors. Sorry about that ^^; and thanks for the suggestions!)

Vell nodded to the waitress, only half-interested in what she was saying. Her hand reached out to grab the bronze key, but she didn't put it away. She spun it around lazily on the table, her head propped up with one arm. Her real focus was on the talking wolf-dog and the hooded figure speaking with it. She saw no colors of interest; a neutral air around both of them. But something was up after that spat with the angry man. Who was the hooded person? Why were they interested in the talking canine? And what sort of money did they carry around with them. That certainly wasn't a small sum of money they paid for that piece of paper... I wonder what the actual job was? I could use some money myself... She thought with an inward sigh. She always got by by herself, but was it just her, or were people getting more cautious with their valuables? Safe-boxes that vendors had in their stalls had more advanced locks, at least here in the castle town, and some people were learning how easy it was to get pickpocketed. She knew for a fact that the man with the necklace wouldn't keep things so much in the open in the future. Unless, of course, he blamed his loss on it falling out of his pocket and not so much stolen.

Vell turned her attention back to the stranger with the battle axe who had been watching her before. He seemed to be interested in the wolf-dog and the hooded figure as well. Or at least a little bit interested. This brought her thoughts back to him, How does he know I'm a thief? Ugh, thief is such an ugly word... Wait, was he tipped off by someone? No, I haven't been seen in any of my visits to this town... And nobody could pinpoint one young girl trying to make a living in this place. Good intuition maybe? Her mind stopped there, her fingers closing around the bronze key. She didn't care anyway. Her bare foot involuntarily began tapping and her stomach growled at her to eat the second apple. Why was it so hard for her just to sit still and relax sometimes? Needing something to keep her attention, she looked back to the three figures near the bar, her grey eyes catching the axe-wielder's quick, panicked struggle with the stool.

Vell couldn't help it. The momentary flash of bright orange signaling the what she assumed to be embarrassment lined up perfectly with his quick shrugging-off of the display, the entire thing comical enough to have the young thief holding back a full on laugh. She chuckled, hoping it wasn't loud enough for anyone to hear, her grey eyes lighting up with amusement. Alright, that was worth not turning in early.

((:'D Okay))

Vell reached a hand into the pouch, pulling out the requested amount while the innkeeper's attention was caught by another voice. With a hint of a frown on her face, and with much hesitation to part with her money, she placed it on the counter. God, she barely had enough to rent a room for one night. To get a good meal and maybe a few things to take home, she would have to get out and work for it later, and for most of tomorrow. At least you can catch up on some rest in a little bit. she thought with as much optimism as she could muster. She would have told the innkeeper that she would not be buying a meal, but came to the conclusion that the amount on the counter would be enough to show that, and so didn't bother. And to not interrupt, she decided she would hang around down around the bar for a while before asking about which room would be hers for the night.

Her grey eyes followed to the other voice that had spoken next to her, a quizzical look appearing as she noticed it was a dog... or wolf? Vell really couldn't tell which. She blinked in confusion, knowing for a fact that she heard it say something. Okay, I need to go sit down. she thought, shrugging it off and making her way over to one of the empty tables away from the bar and taking a seat. She took a bite of her apple before digging around in her pouch and pulling out the necklace that she had pick-pocketed earlier that day. It was quite a simple piece of jewelry, but nice. Gold, with a small pendant that looked like a leaf, a decent sized emerald in the middle. I can't believe how lucky I was. She couldn't help but let herself smile while staring at it, but her attention was drawn away as a man entered the inn, obviously searching for someone. She watched him while she slipped the necklace back into the pouch.

He seemed to have found who he was looking for, as he walked over and took a seat next to them. As soon as he had finished a drink, a faint red swirled around him. Curious at the man's sudden anger, Vell allowed herself to listen in. "You will not believe my day today!" The other one replied, but Vell was too far away to hear the words clearly, and the noise from the dwarves did not help her concentration. After a few more moments, the man handed his companion a piece of paper, and they replied with a pouch of what Vell assumed was payment. She hadn't caught any more words of the conversation before the man had already left the inn. How interesting... Vell looked away from them for a moment, taking another bite of her apple and let her eyes wander over to the wolf-dog again, wondering if it would say something more, or if it had really said something in the first place. Well, the innkeeper did reply to it, so I can only assume that I'm not crazy.

She attempted to take another bite of the apple before realizing that all that was left was the core. Slowly, she got up again and walked over to a bin, throwing it away and turning back to go sit down. She stopped, noticing the man that had been over by the dwarves from was staring at her warily. She watched him back for a moment, her eyes catching the move he made to secure any valuables. Vell couldn't keep eye contact very long, feeling a hint of uneasiness. Did he know something, or was he just cautious around all strangers? But I'm halfway across the room. she thought. Her eyes darted off back to where she had been sitting, her body following its path. She plopped back into the chair and inwardly sighed. This place has some really strange characters. I think I'll make my next trip to Rien.

Bare feet kept a brisk pacing for the young thief while grey eyes shifted to each figure in the crowded town. She wanted to pull her hood over her head, but didn't want to stand out with something that said "I'm hiding something." so blatantly. The market was busy at this time. People bought from the various vendors who were selling a multitude of goods ranging from practical, to luxuries. Bright colors of yellow and green danced in her eyes of happy souls eager to spend some of their hard-earned money. Soon her color would be that too, but she would be spending a good deal of her money in the Inn to rent a room instead of on trinkets in the market. Maybe a bit would be spent on food too if she avoided those areas while walking around.

The crowd brushed against her, the mumblings of apologies barely reaching her ears. Why they apologized for tapping her shoulder accidentally was beyond her comprehension. It didn't bother her at all, much like her hand brushing against a back pocket or open satchel didn't seem to bother them. At least for the moment. She had occasionally pinpointed a voice in the crowd, "I swear I had my money pouch!!" They would cry despairingly, "I can't have lost it! That was a month's pay!" She could never hold back a smirk as she walked off, their pay rattling in her pocket.

But on her first day of her visit to the Castle Town, Vell was having no such luck in finding a neat pouch containing that much. She had retrieved enough sherlings for a room though, and a small golden necklace that a man had been too foolish as to leave half-dangling from his pocket. It was probably a gift for a special someone. But it was hers now, and it would probably be re-sold to someone that could hold onto it better. Maybe for some sweets. She loved sweets, but usually didn't get enough shellings to waste them on a treat. And sweets were usually sold inside bakeries and other shops as they would melt out in the heat. So there weren't any easy ways to get them during the day.

She let out a long yawn, her trip to the city having exhausted her. Maybe she would turn in early and actually get to work more tomorrow. She didn't want to be too tired to focus, after all. She began walking to the direction of the... what was it called? Cropper Fish Inn? What a terrible name. She thought plainly before her eyes hit the fruit stand. Hey, it was on the way, so why not? She went over to the carts full of apples, her eyes looking up towards the man running the stand. She scanned the apples, picking out a couple of good ones and examining them like she was planning on purchasing them. The vendor watched her for a moment until another potential customer began asking about prices. Discretely, Vell placed two red apples in the pouch with her hand opposite the man, her other hand closest to him setting back down the one he saw her pick up, just for good measure in case he was watching her out of the corner of his eye.

She simply walked off with none the wiser, her stomach immediately grumbling. I know, I know. I'll eat these in a minute. She promised to her stomach quietly as she sped up her pace to the Inn. As it came into view and the fruit stall disappeared from her view, she dug her hand into the pouch and pulled out one of the apples, wiping it off on her shirt before taking a bite. She pushed the door to the Inn open, her eyes catching each figure. The innkeeper tending to some people at the counter, the dwarves laughing at a man, and a few more un-noteworthy people sitting in the chairs. She went up to the counter as the people walked off, looking to the innkeeper, "I'd like a room."


(Gah, long post x-x Sorry, I'll try to shorten them in the future xD)

So, are we going to wait for any more people? Or can we just go on and start RPing?
