Yumi opened her eyes to see nothing but darkness and a faint headache. "H-hello?.... Is anybody there?" She called out. Her own voice surprised her as if she was just hearing it for the first time. It was soft and fragile sounding with a shakiness to it. The floor flat cold and hard like stone and the room smelled of a muskie mildew scent.

Xiomara groaned softly as a voice pierced her consciousness. "Five more minutes" she mumbled reflexively. Her head hurt and she didn't want to wake up... but as certain things drifted into her awareness, she bolted upright, eyes wide open. Not that she could see anything. Or remember how she got there... or anything at all.
Remembering the voice, Xiomara flipped over onto her hands and knees, feeling around for the other person. "Who's there? What the hell is going on?"

There was something familiar in waking up with a splitting headache and dry mouth. Madeline felt like she'd been run over by a, a- She couldn't find the word, and that bothered her. She thought back to last night, expecting the memories of alcohol and poor decisions to come rushing back, but the trouble was that nothing did.
She rolled over, felt a hard surface, smelt something decidedly not flowery or pleasant, and her eyes snapped open.
She sat up in the dark, hand pressed to her forehead to center herself, she heard voices and she nearly hissed. "I- Which one of you did this? God, explain yourself please, I swear this isn't funny. I'll gut you with my ma- my uh- my mani- my nails? What is this?"

"I... don't know what happened.... or where we are... my names... Yumia.. Yumia Tomoya..." she said timidly.

Madeline clapped her hands together, heard the noise echo, cringed at how loud it was. "You know, that's just excellent. This is actually shaping up to be a wonderful day! First that uh- that guy with the biceps? The- Oh jesus christ I know I didn't make the most responsible choices last night but I couldn't possibly drink myself to amnesia."

Greeds eyes slowly opened, feeling like he was half asleep. He heard Voices and decided he would try and figure out where he was before thinking about going back to sleep "Can one of you turn the lights on?" He asked "Or am I blind?.." he asked scratching his head in confusion

"Oi vey..." a heavily accented voice joined the chorus of confusion, "Did anyone get the name of dat...? Hmm.... I seem to also not remember anysing..."
Cyril sat up, half expecting to hit his head in the dark. One girl introduced herself. So she had that at least. And... so did he!
"I am Cyril Nowakowski." he replied calmly around the others' complaints. Was this a strange situation? Yes, should he be worried? Probably. But it seemed the others were panic enough, and it wouldn't do to just be another hysteric, "Anyone else remembering deir names?"

"I'm Madeline. And I believe that's all you need to know for now." Here's the thing: Madeline did not like helplessness, she picked at her clothes and didn't feel the silk she was used to and scratched at her palms and her voice took on the haughtiest of tones. It's wasn't her thing, its not her brand, its not something she vibes with.
She stretched, and god, she hated this whole situation, she hated the pit in her stomach and the seasick sways, and so she tossed her hair over her shoulder and smiled.
She probably didn't have lipstick, wherever she was. (Nobody could see it in the dark, anyway.)

Xiomara forced herself to take several deep breaths to calm herself as more voices made themselves known. She tried to think practically, and felt her way to a wall. She was very disoriented, terrified, and wanted to freak out some more, but that wouldn't solve anything.
"I'm Xiomara Cassidy," she said in a calmer voice, though it still shook a little bit. "Maybe we should get out of here... somewhere we can see... and then take stock of the situation? I don't want to find out if there is anything sinister in here with us."

Greed sighed at the introductions, he never was good at it "Greed" was all he said holding his head in frustration. He piped up again "If this is some sort of set up im gunna kill the person that's in charge" he mumbled to himself as he started to clench and unclench his right fist repeatedly, slowly losing his temper

"I see a light over there. maybe we can all head toward it and figure out where we are.." Yumi said as she started to stand up and carefully walk toward the light hoping not to trip over anyone. As she got closer, her blonde hair became slightly more visible as it reflected light. Her Amber eyes seemed to glow in the light like a small flame.

"AN excellent suggestion," Cyril agreed with Miss Cassidy as he carefully stood himself up. At Miss Tomoya's observation of the light he found it as well. It blinked out for a moment as the girl's outline obscured it, but he stumbled after, hands waving out before him as he moved after her whispering footsteps.
More and more of her became faintly apparent, as did the others who followed.

((Sorry, I have a terrible habit of procrastinating, especially with introduction posts. Thanks for waiting for me.))
Lex's eyes shot open and he sat up straight, as if he just woke up from a bad dream. Lex tried to look around but all he could see was darkness. "Where am I, what's going on?" He called out in a panicked voice. "What is this place? Where's my wife? Where's... where's...?" He couldn't remember a thing. All he was able to recall was his own name.
Lex could hear other voices around him, but none of them sounded familiar, nor did he recognise any of their names as they introduced themselves. It sounded as though the rest of these people were just as confused and clueless as he was. As a female voice mentioned seeing a light, Lex finally noticed it as well. "Yes, I see it too! My name is Lex Krason, and I'm heading that way." Lex introduced himself as he got up and carefully but quickly started making his way toward the light.

Brittany, the commanding leader of Altana Reserve Force, introduced them to Grimgar and gave them an option to join the reserve force for ten silvers. Having no other options, they all accept and Yumi formed a party with her fellow recruits: Xiomara, Greed, Cyril, Lex, and Madeline. Her teammates chose their respective guilds while she chose the Mage's guild. The group will ha ve a slow start, still adapting to their surroundings. They will probably hunt in Damlow and kill 0 - 2 goblins everyday to get by for awhile until they can afford to upgrade their skills and get stronger. The strange woman had explained all of this to them. As they enter the town, Yumi finds herself staying in the back of the group. Her head kept low and her eyes on her feet as the passed shops and stands. "So we have seven silvers each... And a house costs 14, 18 with a bath house... We'll have to pull together on this... We just have to find the right shop.. any ideas.." her soft voice range out in the cool morning air. The streets were dirt and the building simple. It looked like something out of an RPG safe zone. 'whats an RPG?' Yumi thought to herself as the idea of the place drifted by. These things seemed to happen now. Memories of a world she can't remember. It mostly happens with words that feel right but make no sense to her. Brittney-  |

Greed calmed down after seeing the girl who called herself Brittany, he knew she didn't mean any harm. After the explanation of the situation he mumbled "Dark knight..." to himself. He wondered what his life would be like after choosing his guild but quickly dismissed the thought when the talk of money came up "I ain't spending a single silver unless it's for me, myself, and I" he said with his chin up and his hands in his pockets

"B..but we all need a place to sleep.. we are supposed to be a party... we can't survive here alone, that girl even said so.." Yumi replied nervously. The poor girl had about as much spine ass jelly fish when it came to conflict with people.

There was something decidedly off about the world. It felt unreal, made up. Not like a dream, but not normal. Cyril felt that there were certain natural laws he was accustomed to that were now askew, but he could not put his finger on it.
As they walked down the street looking for the next place to go he was quick to get on the case. Several feet in front of the group he approached one of the people milling on the street and spoke up at once.
"Hello, pardon me but we are looking to purchase a house, could you point us to the person to buy from?" he asked brightly, having no reservations about approaching strangers.

Madeline narrowed her eyes, taking in her... What? Partners? She didn't like this world, but she felt it suited her more than anything else would. It was hard, it was bitter, and she was going to build herself a villa.
It was a fantasy world, wasn't it? She fancied herself a queen.
But back to the point, Yumi bothered her, and Cyril's whole friendly schtick set her off, Lex seemed... Okay. The tall mean one, who she'd been calling biceps in her head, he seemed dangerous. He seemed like competition.
She nearly shoved Cyril out of the way, sidling up in front of him with a gentle hand playing with her hair. It was no longer bleached blonde, she didn't know what bleached meant but she knew she wasn't used to her natural black and she set some goals. First: the house. Next: Find some way to change her hair.
She pouted at Tall Man, sickly sweet, traced the edge of her neckline with a finger. "Well," she said, "Any little bit of change does help as well, considering we're... new around town and perfectly stuck as to how to get any."
She liked the clothes here. She thought she could perhaps make something of herself. "You'd be our hero, actually."

Greed gave Yumi a dirty look for a minute before turning his head to Madeline as she spoke he could tell that the way she held herself was trouble, he knew that if she was around he would have to keep his mind right or she would take the opportunity to squeeze any bit out of him...or anyone for that matter "...Fine...but just the house, after that my silver is MY silver" He couldn't tell if it was Yumis innocence or if Madelines little trick actually worked despite him seeing through it but none the less he gave in.

Xiomara danced up behind Greed, reaching up in an attempt to slap the back of his head. This was a feat made rather difficult due to him being very tall, and her being somewhat on the shorter side. "Behave, Greed, or I'll tie you up out back at night," she said in a stern but cheerful voice. "Everyone pitches in, no exceptions."
Xio looked around with delight at everything. Nothing was right, and she couldn't remember why, but she might as well enjoy being here. It was so deliciously rustic.
She was worried about Lex, she couldn't forget him asking for his wife when they had first woken up in that dark room. She looked over at him now with concern in her hazel eyes.

Yumi smiled with a soft blush touching her cheeks once greed accepted the request to all chip in for a house. "Oh thank you. I promise I'll use my extra to buy food to make us all dinner.. it might be simple though seeing as I don't have much..." Yumi said in her soft timid voice, but this time there's was a bit more excitement and confidence in her words, but only a touch of it.

Madeleine smiled, button nose and big eyes all deceptively pretty, "No exceptions," She cooed, "I'm glad we have the money problem all sorted out."
The short girl jumped at Biceps, Yumi was viscerally the most exhausting person Madeline had ever had the displeasure of meeting, god, she acted like she was so afraid of everything. Madeline didn't remember anything, but she thinks of rumors and a girl on the cheerleading team and an unopened pregnancy test and a lie on her lips.
Not one of the words made sense, but had her life ever had a semblance of normalcy? She wouldn't be Madeline if she didn't put up with cosmic amounts of bullshit.
She squared her tiny shoulders, giggled airily at Xiomara high pitched like a bubbly hair-spray ditzy idiot.

Focused on the local yokel, Cyril tuned out the conversation behind him. Turning back to the... hmm, he had a name for them but he did not think they would appreciate it. But turning back to them he set about enlightening them with the information he had acquired.
"We'll fine a seller two blocks back the way we came and three blocks over."
Having said his bit he strode swiftly through them and led point again. If he had some more clues about the world and the measure of safety that could be found he would have suggested sleeping under the stars until they had got started on gaining some more income. But it seemed unnecessary to voice his frugal (miserly?) opinion when the others were at last agreeing on a goal.

Greed gritted his teeth when Xiomara smacked the back of his head, it wasn't hard seeing as she could barely reach it but it annoyed him nonetheless. Madeleines response didn't help either, he spoke to Yumi and glared at Madeleine as well as Xiomara before turning his attention to Cyril "House better be the cheapest one" he mumbled to the party member in a grumpy tone

See, the thing about all the arguing was that she had not commented beyond vague agreement and had not yet actually chipped in with cash. No one noticed, as of yet, and she preferred to keep it that way. Honestly, about two of them were all that was needed for the house anyway.
Biceps was glaring st her, she widened her eyes and pouted, eyebrows flicked up.
"Actually, who was that girl, by the way? Brittany or whatever?" She sighed, examined her cuticles, "No offense, really, but I don't believe she's some pretty little girl when she clearly orchestrated this whole situation we're in and stuck me with people like-"
She glanced up at Xiomara, unimpressed, "What was your name again?"

Yumi didn't like the rude and bitter tone of Madeline's voice and body language displayed but she wasn't about to start conflict. She jogged her way up to Cyril and smiled "thank you for taking charge a bit. I'm not good with taking charge... or really even standing up for myself even..." Yumi said nervously. She could tell that Xio and Cyril were kind and more trustworthy out if the group. Greed seemed to put on a strong front but seemed to be capable of being a decent human being.
