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!]

[That's Sheena for you. Reacts badly to surprises and perceived kidnappings.]

[Seeing the other woman's reaction, however, confuses Sheena enough that she does calm down. Since when do abductors flail?]

All right. I'm sorry about that; it's just that I was doing something very important back home.

[ofthefullmoon]

[ Estelle sighs a little in relief, then takes a seat, offering the other empty seat to the other woman in the room. ]

I understand. A lot of people arrive here in the middle of something important. Unfortunately, the Castle doesn't seem to care much about that ...

[ She pouts a little. ]

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena takes a step towards the offered chair, but freezes as the woman continues, giving her a mixed look of anger and concern. With a little confusion thrown in.]

You and others were taken, too? You mentioned an army... [The other woman seems to be upset about being interrupted back home (which probably means the others are, too), so why is she helping their kidnappers by explaining things to Sheena? Just how are people being convinced?

Well, there's only one way to find out, and the ninja lowers herself into the chair, her look determined.]

Yeah, I'd like to hear about what's going on here.

[ofthefullmoon]

[ She nods. ]

I'll do my best to explain ... there are parts of this that even those who have been here for a while don't understand.

[ Estelle clears her throat, then continues. ]

This place is known as Toran Castle. The Castle itself is preparing for a war, and as such, is bringing people from all sorts of different worlds and timelines into its army. Some people who arrive here accept the news better than others ... regardless, we haven't found a way out. The castle chooses who is brought here, who stays, and on occasion, who leaves as well.

[ She leans forward a little in her seat. ]

May I know your name, Miss?

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena is so intent on the information being given--not to mention confused and doubtful--that it takes her a moment to realize the other woman had asked a direct question.]

Huh? Oh, sorry. My name's Sheena; Sheena Fujibayashi. It's nice ro meet you.

[Yes. It's an odd situation to say it in; doesn't make it any less true" however. A certain friend taught her that.]

[ofthefullmoon]

Nice to meet you, too! As I've said before, I am Estellise.

[ Anyway, let's get back to the topic at hand. ]

In any case ... Do you have any combat experience, Sheena? Combat experience isn't necessarily needed; everyone has a place here in the army. We could always use extra healers, or chefs, or other support staff.

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena can't agree more and smiles wryly at the question.]

As a matter of fact, I do. But wouldn't someone in the castle have known that so the right people could be brought here? [She's used to fortune tellers, but...]

How was I brought here, anyway? That didn't feel like the transporter I used recently.

[The more she knows, the more she might be able to help someone out of here, and not wait for someone in the castle to decide.]

ACCEPTED

[ofthefullmoon]

My asking is more so that we here in the Castle know who we've got and what they can do. Though the castle might know these things, we are ... unfortunately, largely in the dark for the most part.

[ She sighs a little bit. ]

As for your question, I ... can't say for sure if I know that. There's still so much about this place that I don't know, even after reading as much as I could in the library ...

[ She trails off for a moment, then shakes her head and stands up. ]

Here, let me show you around. I'll do what I can to answer any other questions while we're walking, okay?

[ She smiles at Sheena, trying to be reassuring. ]
