World of Land: Adventure of the Century
Centroville. Noon. The "HildeGil" Guild.
Inside the guild building, it was as noisy and crowded as ever: someone sat at a table discussing their own business, someone else was simply drinking ale, someone was scanning the quest sheets on the notice board... And someone was watching you intently—more specifically, seven pairs of eyes sitting at the same table as you.
Raity watched you intently with narrowed eyes, never breaking gaze for a second, as if weighing his decision to invite you into the group.
— So... Ahem... I am Raity Hunte—leader of this group with a ridiculous name that I came up with myself, the "Adventu-hunters," — he spoke quickly, only glancing away for a second before his eyes returned to you. — As you can see, our group is, shall we say... unusual. More specifically, the members... — he said somewhat coldly, folding his arms in front of him.
Some of the members tensed up as their leader scanned the table.
A green-haired girl sat with a wide smile on her face, looking at you with undisguised interest and anticipation. Her eyes wandered over your face and body.
A red-haired guy sat with his arms crossed, which for some reason were encased in ice. He merely shot you a fleeting, acerbic, and irritated glance.
The red-haired girl in the black-and-white robe gave Raymond a slight nudge with her shoulder, then looked at you with a warm, calm smile.
A tall man in a green uniform sat slightly apart from the others. His gaze was somewhat mournful and cast downward, his posture slightly hunched. Half of his face was consumed by a pulsing black-and-red something, as were his arms and legs.
A girl in a burgundy uniform gave you a distrustful look before turning her gaze away, crossing her arms over her chest.
A golden-haired elf with golden eyes offered you a timid smile. In her hand, she held a strange spear with a crystal at its tip. It felt as though the spear itself was watching you.
— ...I imagine it's become clear to you that you aren't here by accident, — he tilted his head to the side, squinting. — We want to invite you to join our group. You won't refuse, will you?.. If that's the case, you can introduce yourself right away: name, magic, rank, skills, and so on, — his voice sounded businesslike and curious.
