Try as she might, Xivion couldn't hide her surprise.
Good grief. This place is a madhouse! How many people want to join? This... this is crazy!
She blinked, watching the chaos around her, and blindly trying to make sense of any of it.

Post by Vyt: Down, but Not Out on Jul 5, 2007 0:09:47 GMT -5
Fen, not amused by Vyt's attempt to gain attention, turned and said, "Duck? Is that all you're good for? Yelling duck?"
"Aww, you're no fun, Fen", Vyt sadly said, followed with his traditional smiley-style frown as he ignored Fen's introduction to him and Shiloh's threats. He hated people who had no sense of humor within them.
Suddenly, his face turned sour, revealing Vyt's side of seriousness. He wasn't happy with how things were going on: lots of newer mercenaries have appeared in the guild. With his stained reputation, Vyt was worried about his ongoing mission as a new recruit.
Still retaining his face's expression, Vyt turned towards Xivion and asked, "... I'm curious about you... Are you strong?"

Xivion wasn't expecting a question like that. She tried to scrape together what composure she had.
"It depends," she said evenly. "What do you consider strong?"

Leo, a bit annoyed at the lack of welcome, entered the base.
"Did I hear someone say 'Duck'? Speaking of food, I hunted us a deer. It should last us a couple of weeks," gesturing to the deer he was carrying with him. "Who's the catboy, by the way?"

"It depends," Xivion replied. "What do you consider strong?"
"... Good question, though I really was expecting a straight answer from you", Vyt said as he scratched his head. "Well, if you're really curious, my definition of being strong is-".
Just as soon as he was starting to pick up a conversation full of wisdom, the half-feline was interrupted by someone who had recently entered the guild. Judging by the dear behind him, it looked as if he was from a hunt.
"Did I hear someone say 'Duck'? Speaking of food, I hunted us a deer. It should last us a couple of weeks," Leo gestured to the deer he was carrying with him. "Who's the catboy, by the way?"
Vyt just stood there, looking towards the ex-knight as the half-feline shutted his mouth closed.

" He's Vyt." Cyborg declared. " That looks tasty." Cyborg added looking at the deer.

Arista's small nose picked up the scent of meat as the door was opened. She almost stepped out of her hiding place, but held herself back.

"Oh, good," said Elcie, glancing over at Leo. "We're beginning to run a little low, after all, and finances are... not what they should be." The girl grimaced. She turned and gave Jakie an approving glance. "Cat person," she noted. "I'm always happy to welcome a cat person, provided the cat doesn't get on the nerves of the ones we already have."

Fenrix smirked calmly and waved a hand. "Well come on in, before I decide otherwise." To everyone else's horror, she grabbed the deer's eyeball and bit into it. "I like my meat raw thank you very much." She licked her fingers and cast a coy look at Vyt. "Too bad I'm not in the mood for cat-boy."

I expect for you to answer me straightfowardly...
What was that supposed to mean?! How could she, when people either engaged with her, or ignored her, switching every second. Xivion had the sudden urge to start screaming at Vyt, "Of course I'm strong! I'm strong, you idiot!".
That...probably wouldn't help you get in, you know...
She bit her tongue, digging her fingernails into her palms so hard that they nearly peirced skin. Xivion was dangerously close to loosing it.
Bzzzt.
Bzzt.
....warning....
Echoes?
Xivion's head began to swim. She blinked furiously. Fen, that vampire.... what on earth was she doing? She was eating something. Something nasty, Xivion could tell. Her stomach twisted in digust; her eyes narrowed.
Ehhhh.....choooooo....

Cyborg was kind to introduce a rather unbiased introduction of the half-feline. "He's Vyt", the Kougra simply declared.
Elycien glanced towards Jakie and said, "Cat person, I'm always happy to welcome a cat person, provided the cat doesn't get on the nerves of the ones we already have". Somehow, Vyt knew the remark was for him and it ticked him off, but not because he was still being degraded. Deep thoughts of his terrifying experiences as a child haunted his mind, causing Vyt to shake his head off.
As if Elycien's remark was insulting enough, Fen looked at Vyt and added, "Too bad I'm not in the mood for cat-boy". In reaction, Vyt's mind was blocked as his body suddenly moved fast towards the vampire, his hands acting as if there were claws unsheathed from them. However, before Vyt could slash Fen's face with his hands, the half-feline's mind came back to reality as he suddenly stepped back and fell on his knees, trying to turn his back towards the crowd.
"... Please... Don't call me 'cat-boy'...", he said. His eyes were filling with tears. Vyt was known for being able to withstand conversations like that, but little was known of his actual sensitivity.
Vyt tried to murmur the words, "... I never was a cat-boy at the start...", but his statement was soft-sounding, if not inaudible. Not being able to express his feelings strongly, his body started to shake.

"He's Vyt." Cyborg declared. "That looks tasty." Cyborg added looking at the deer.
"Right. So he's Vyt," Leo replied. "Nice to meet you, Vyt," Leo added and upon seeing the crying mercenary, he hastily excused himself to stow away the meat.
"A mercenary who cries after being called a 'cat-boy'.... I sure hope he knows better than to emote like that when we've got a job," Leo thought to himself as he left the room.

"Sheathe your claws and tears, I was only teasing you." The vampire's voice was softer than usual. Her quick eyes saw his tears and put a surprisingly gentle hand on his shoulder. "Vyt?" Sighing she straightened. "Elycien? Wouldn't everyone be more comfortable if we had something to eat and a place to sit down? Unless anyone else wants to show up and be a merc."

"Oh! Right!" She shook her head and glanced at Rain. "Is there anything left in the pantry, or is it venison for breakfast now? Ah, well... The, er, dining hall is this way, although given the state of it perhaps 'mess hall' is a bit more appropriate." She colored slightly, surprised at herself. The appearance of the interior was generally not much of a concern to the mercenaries, as they were the only ones who ever saw it (and lived). Now, with the sudden flood of new recruits, she found herself wishing they were a little less disorganized and more... well, more professional-looking.
But there was no helping it now. Perhaps once everyone was settled in, she could work on giving the place a little class.

There came a tiny knock at the door. " Open up!" the tiny voice said. "I'm always happy to welcome a cat person, provided the cat doesn't get on the nerves of the ones we already have." "Calm down Vyt. I'm a cat person, well kougra if you can call me that cause I'm also half cyborg, but anyways you don't see me cryin." Cyborg said. " Anyone else hear a knock cause I think that might be Hazel." he added.
