star recruitment post | toran_castle

[ofthefullmoon]

Oh, hello! Are you here to join our army here at toran_castle? Wonderful! We could definitely use all of the help that we can get. My name is Estellise, and I hope you don't mind if I ask you a few questions and brief you in on what to expect here in the Castle.

Before we begin, though, here are a few things I have been asked to remind you of.

Please view the Guidelines and FAQ.

Please remember The Prime Directive. The Prime Directive is: Be excellent to each other.

Also, your player must be at least 18 years old.

And finally, the following types of characters are not allowed:
*Original characters
*Alternative Universe characters
*Real life people, unless they are historical figures in a highly fictionalized context
*Duplicates of characters currently in play
*Characters who appear solely in a webcomic

Now that that's taken care of, do you have any preliminary questions for me? I'll do my best to answer whatever you ask of me.

[OOC: Please put character name and canon in subject of comment!]

Comments

Duke Pantarei | Tales of Vesperia | I feel like I ought to be sorry for this-

[radiantwingedone]

... I know who you are, Child.

[ He's tired enough that it comes out as flat as a voice can get, and he half turns to look about. Stiffly, even.

This wasn't where he ought to be. Did Tarqaron drift? No, it couldn't be, he recognizes near everywhere on Terca Lumireis.

This was about as unwelcome as being recruited for another army. ]

And I doubt that last.

NEVER APOLOGIZE. Also orz, I forgot to change a few portions of her recruitment post before ...

[ofthefullmoon]

[ Estelle recognizes you, good sir. And the fact that she's seeing him after ... well, everything, is making her job a little more awkward. She puts on a smile, though, and nods in response to him. ]

Yes ... Yes, I know who you are as well. It's good to see you again, Duke.

[ Awk-waaaard. ]

... Would you like to have a seat?

[ She gestures to a table nearby. This might be something best talked over while sitting down. ]

But what if im apologizing for Duke- Oh, oops. /throws that last comment of his out a window-

[radiantwingedone]

[ Uh-huh. Sure it is. Duke studies her a moment, and decides that was social ... something, that had her say it was good to see him.

Unless it was just how awkwardly nice the girl was. That was always an option. Just a more uncomfortable one...

He finishes looking about, and not really seeing any way to get back to Terca Lumireis, or even Tarqaron, he steps over to the table with a look of 'doesn't seem like many other options'.

But he stops and stands next to the chair there. Give him a moment to get some rusty gears turning - ought he try to have a semblance of manners or social ability, or remain as.. whatever he was normally.

Duke doesn't take the seat he stands by, but pushes it somewhat away from the table, like he might, before turning and taking the other seat. ]

Frederic Francois Chopin | Eternal Sonata

[poeticpianist]

[Frederic was not one to involve himself in wars, considering what ordeals he had come from prior to his arrival in this castle. However, he bows politely to the young lady and addresses her.]

Thank you for your greeting, Miss Estellise. My name is Frederic Francois Chopin, it's a pleasure to meet you.

[ofthefullmoon]

[ Oh, what a pleasant man! Estelle couldn't help but smile a little more at his manners and the polite greeting he gave. She bows a little in return. ]

And you as well, Mr. Chopin! May I call you Frederic?

[poeticpianist]

[He nods and gracefully takes a seat in front of her before answering.]

Of course you may, Miss Estellise. So what exactly are these questions you wish to ask me? And I'm rather interested in knowing more about this castle.

Cinque Izumi | Dog Days

[biscotti_ace]

[Okay..Cinque is here, looking a tad confused of his current surrounding. He is not afraid, though. Well, considering that he was once being summoned to a certain Kingdom by a cute princess to join their army force in a war, this is getting old, isn't it? He'll adapt quickly.]

[Cinque looks closely at Estellise with an enthusiastic face. He takes somehow a minute long before he gets to reply her.]

Oh! Hello there, Nice to meet you!

[He waves at her casually and smiles, looking cheerful as usual. Then, he scratches his blond hair, somehow nervous.]

Uhh..sorry for my late respond. Actually for a moment back then, I thought you were the princess...heheheh.

[Can't help, because by a quick glance, you really remind him of a certain Princess he is really familiar with, Estellise. Your speaking manner, gesture, tone and everything]

Anyway, I'm Cinque Izumi! Just call me Cinque.

dkrngkrng this was the best thing to see in my inbox

[ofthefullmoon]

[ The Princess? Well, she was a princess. Perhaps this person is from Zaphias as well? Regardless, that's not important not. Her social status isn't a thing of importance in this place (Flynn's view of things aside). What was important was helping those who were summoned here to adapt. She smiles and gestures to a table in front of them. ]

It's nice to meet you, too, Cinque! Why don't you have a seat?

Eiko Carol | Final Fantasy IX

[tiearibbon]

Yeah.

[Curiously, Eiko leans forward in her seat, swinging her legs back and forth.]

I wanna know more about your castle. What's it like? How big is it? I've only seen Alexandria's before, and it was big. [To illustrate, Eiko holds up her hands.] Like really, really big. And they had lots of neat stuff too.

[Well. By Eiko's standards, anyway. When you come from what basically amounts to a ghost town inhabited with no one but yourself and and a bunch of moogles...!]

hello my beautiful Lukey-ukey-ukey! ♥♥

[ofthefullmoon]

[ Tiny child.

Tiny cute child.

Estelle has to wonder why the Castle would want to bring such a tiny child here ... but, she couldn't deny, she had seen some amazing strength come from children before. Still ... this girl was even younger than Karol, from the looks of her.

Estelle smiled and leaned forward a little in her own seat, smiling sheepishly and shaking her head. ]

O-Oh, no, it's not my castle ... the one I was raised in is back home, in Zaphias. I can tell you a little about Toran Castle, though.

It's rather big. There are still many things I'm finding out about the castle myself, and I've been here for a while ... though I've seen just about all of the major rooms, this castle seems to sometimes expand and add new things whenever it feels like it needs to.

saber alter (arturia pendragon) ✘ fate/stay night

[black]

"Who will I be fighting?" the knight clad in black asks, holding her darkened sword in front of her. Its tip is pointed into the floor, and her gauntlet-protected hands rest on its hilt.

As a hero, and one who is to carry All of the World's Evil, Saber is ready to accept her position to fight. The knight will simply cut down any foes she encounters.

Even with such determination, there is little emotion in her question. She'll record the answer as fact, caring little about what the actual answer is.

[ofthefullmoon]

Estelle couldn't help but stare at the woman before her for a few moments. It wasn't that the woman was strange ... well, okay. Perhaps a little strange. That wasn't the point, however. No, the point here was more that this woman was unlike most of the other people she saw in this place, in that she was ready and willing to fight.

She had to admire that, on her first meeting with her.

Estelle gestured to the empty seat at the table she sat at, offering the woman a place to sit.

"Unfortunately, the Castle hasn't made it clear who our enemy is," she answered, sitting up straight and donning a more professional demeanor.

"We only really know that Toran Castle is preparing for a war, and that the threat is quite real."

Yeager | Tales of Vesperia | Maybe I /really/ ought to be sorry for this one-

[inexplicablygerman]

Well, if the help is needed that badly, leibchen, I cannot say no.

[ He didn't exactly expect to see you again, Princess, so he busies himself with the task of fixing his shirt collar and tying his cravat again. He doesn't have the pin but.. ah well. ]

.... this'll be good.

[ofthefullmoon]

[ Nor did she expect to see you! Her eyes widen, and she subconsciously prepares for ... well, anything. ]

Yeager!

[ She can't ask him what he's doing here. It's not his choice, just as it hadn't been her choice to be here either. She does have to wonder, however, just what the Castle might be thinking.

Estelle sighs, and relaxes a little. This shouldn't be a battle between them. Now, they were supposed to be on the same side. ]

... It's nice to see you again?

[ She didn't mean for it to be a question, but given their history in Terca Lumireis ... ]

Chizuru Yukimura / Hakuoki

[chizuru]

"Hello, Estellise," Chizuru starts, bowing her upper form. Even though Chizuru is .. not exactly so sure how she got .. where she even is, she remains calm about it.

"My name is Chizuru Yukimura. It's a pleasure to meet you."

After she stands back up, Chizuru waits with her hands folded politely at her stomach. She'll wait to be invited to sit first, and won't initiate further conversations until introductions are done.

An army, though. Well.. she has experience with that, but..

[ofthefullmoon]

She can't help but smile at the polite young lady, nodding and giving her the invitation to sit with a gesture to the empty chair.

"It's very nice to meet you, Chizuru!"

Estelle relaxes a little in her seat ... as much as she would allow herself to. She was far to accustomed to sitting in a more poised, polite manner, as she was taught to do as a Princess.

"This sort of thing isn't easy to explain, so I like to start things off by answering whatever questions you have, and then going in and filling in the details that weren't covered by your questions. So then, with that in mind ... I'm sure you have some questions about what's going on?"

Chikage Kazama - Hakuoki

[kazama]

Skepticism and amusement were masked by the piercing gaze that came from a rather annoyed man. Kazama appeared disinterested in the situation while attempting to keep his composure from being pulled.

After all, there was not much to be said when you arrive in another area against your will.. The red eyes shifted in a rather collected manner that approached the woman before him.

"Spectating appears impossible."

The sigh came suddenly, as if he was truly bothered to state the obvious..

"Do I have you to thank for this inconvenience?"

Kazama's eyes would narrow, as if he was hinting at something greater that was known by neither parties. Debts were to be paid, yes, but only if the situation was correct. An army is easy to build with numbers, but the truth remains; dogs will die while men survive.

hello there! ♥ welcome welcome welcome!

[ofthefullmoon]

Estelle had met a great many people during her time here, especially during the recruiter duties. The man who was before her now was the type of person she didn't come across too terribly often; still, despite the instant accusation, Estelle faced the man with a pleasant smile and a polite bow.

"I'm afraid not," she said in response to his question. She gestured to the empty seat in front of her, indicating that he was free to sit down if he so chose to. As for her, she was going to sit.

"The castle is the one you're looking to blame. I was brought here in the same way you were. Many of us were."

Sheena Fujibayashi | Tales of Symphonia (1)

[ninjainviolet]

Army? What army? Toran Castle? There's no place like that on Tethe'alla or Sylvarant!

[Fingers flexing and eyes narrowing dangerously, she takes a reflexive step towards the woman.]

Where am I?! And what's going on here?!

[ofthefullmoon]

[ ohcrap, she looks angry. Estelle's hands wave in front of her. She's flailing. ]

P-Please, calm down, Miss! I promise, I'll do my best to explain everything I can!

Akihiko Sanada | Persona 3 Portable

[emperor_with_no_groove]

......

[Join the army? Akihiko’s brows furrow with confusion. He had fallen asleep after the Dark Hour last night, and then… What the hell happened?

Despite his utter bewilderment, he hasn’t completely forgotten his manners. He tries to keep his cool as he asks the first, most obvious question of importance.]

Where’s Mitsuru? And everyone else?

[But he can’t help feeling intrigued by the first thing that the girl had mentioned… Fighting, after all, has been engrained in him for the past few years.]

And what… exactly are you guys fighting against, here?

XD I love the username!

[ofthefullmoon]

Mitsuru? Is Mitsuru a friend of yours?

[ Estelle didn't know everyone in the castle by any means, but she knew a fair amount of people. She thought for a moment, then shook her head. ]

I'm afraid I don't know of anybody named Mitsuru, myself ... but that isn't to say that Mitsuru isn't here in the castle.

As for fighting ...

[ She straightens up and looks to him seriously. ]

The Castle is building an army to fight an enemy we don't really know anything about. Many of us have tried to research possible enemies, but to no avail. All we really know is that there is an enemy, and that we need to keep on our toes.

Ludger Will Kresnik | Tales of Xillia 2

[opting]

[ SPOILER-FREE I PROMISE.

...Of course, after what just happened to himself, it's not going to be anymore confusing for Ludger. It's awkward, but he returns her gesture, albeit his smile is definitely a faint one. ]

Thank you very much, Miss Estellise. I am Ludger, Ludger Will Kresnik. [ Hey, a professional young adult over here. Did you expect less? ] What is it that you wish to ask me?

[ He have fuckton of question himself, but eeeh, he can wait for a moment. ]

[ofthefullmoon]

[ OKAY, THANKS BRO. Also I apologize for any slowness on my part for this thread, my birthday is this weekend so I've got a lot going on this week school and work-wise before I have the weekend off.

ANYWAY, onto the thread. Estelle is happy to be talking with such a nice, polite young man. She bows a little, politely. ]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Ludger. I was actually wondering if there were any questions you had to ask me. After all, it's my job to inform the people who come to this place about it.
