[Story] A Call to Arms

[LuEngel]

Duncan frowns and Logan stands from his seat.

Logan: "How dare you question - "

Duncan pulls him back down.

Duncan: "I understand your curiosity and wonder, but you have more than just skills that I'm after. You claim to care about nature and the world: daeva are a deviation from the natural order. They disrupt and destroy the fabric of nature. You seem more capable of the requiset will to pursue this. Skills can be taught, passion cannot."

[Achylleus]

Barry walks forward standin by Fëanor. "My sword are yours. Where he go, I go."

[QueerSpaceWitch]

Zuri smirks. "Well this is refreshing, someone who sees the larger picture and not just the corner they are staring at."

[LuEngel]

Ina smiles kindly at Barry and Fëanor. "I wish you luck and safety, dear heroes."

Duncan grins at Zuri: "It is my duty to see the larger picture." Several of the family heads voice their agreement.

Zsa laughs: "Ah, but we've got a feisty bunch! It pleases me to see that young ones can still be so hot-blooded!" Azari smiles: "Indeed, dearest, I have high hopes that they'll make fine heroes yet." Zsa blushes slightly at her wife's tearm of endearment and takes a sip from her goblet.

[Mallen]

"I also find myself questioning why I was called. Of course I'll do what I can to help and learn more about our enemy but I acknowledge that I'm usually more suited to research and machinery." Elara never moves her gaze from Treasa.

[LuEngel]

A high-pitched giggle is heard. Treasa uses her arms to lift herself onto the tabletop: "I was the one who called for you! I had to make sure that my companions understood the Vinci could make just as good a showing as any other! Besides, a researcher's eyes are often the most keen for detail."

At this point Connor chooses to speak up: "All of you have been chosen for a reason and all of the clans had a say in your choosing, even if you were the suggestion of only a single leader." He twirls a pen in his hand and doodles on a piece of paper in front of himself. Elise frowns at his drawing but remains silent.

"We have the consent of all but Rina and Astrid. What say you both?" Tsu's voice rings out across the room, demanding an answer.

[Achylleus]

(What does the table look like?)

[Incendia]

Astrid glances up, a distant memory passing from her gaze. She smiles at Tsu and bows slightly, saying in a soft but determined voice, "It would be an honor to serve the clans in this way. You must forgive me as I am not accustomed to working so closely with others, but I look forward to having such esteemed colleagues by my side, and I will do everything in my power to aid you all in this cause."

[LuEngel]

Table description:

The table looks like a cricle that got cut partway in half and then pulled to form an almost-half circle so itcurves away from the door. It's clear that it is designed to be a round table for clan meeting but is built in section to create this more cresent-like formation for interviewing guests and those summoned here. It's a very big table made of mahogony.

Small note: GM does not specialize in furniture and apologizes for poor explanations.

[LuEngel]

"I understand, many of us work best alone, but in this world teamwork can be vital." Tsu's tone is a bit strange, but his point is made.

[Incendia]

She nods respectfully, and looks curiously at her new team once more.

[Achylleus]

Bartholomew is obviously having trouble paying attention. He begins to hum to himself as he walks in cicles.

[AllytheOutcast]

(Sorry guys due to my work schedule I don't normally stay up past 10:30. So if I don't respond to something like this it's because I'm asleep, haha.)

Rina bows in her deepest dance curtsy. "It would be an honor to not only go on this quest, but to and represent those who have had to fight to live. I hope to not disappoint whoever chose me."

[LuEngel]

(No worries, at all: This is stress free! I just want to make sure nobody falls behind. If someone does, I can add side-quests very easily though so if you ever need to take a break or can't post for a bit, I'll handle it )

Clapping his hands once, Tsu speaks again: "Perfect! All of our champions have voiced their consent. Ina, if you will guide them to the selection chamber, I will call for the Sacred Gifts."

Ina nods slightly, takes Bartholomew's hand and leads the party to another room. There are chairs and tables with refreshments.

"Please, champions, eat your fill for the journey before you is long."

[QueerSpaceWitch]

(Yay cor 10 minute breaks to post before 9PM!)
Zuri loads a plate up with fruits and bread and meat. Cause flying uses up a whooooole lotta energy y'all!
