Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alister watched the blind man remove his blindfold and put it away showing his bluish eyes, he seemed to be looking at him but not at him, it was strange"Xaldin huh, yeah your a little on the odd side"he took a small pause "what did you mean back there?" Alister smiled at the man to then hear Noise on the floor coming round with a cough or two, Alister put his hand on Noise's shoulder "you'll live", Alister thought briefly on weather or not he should get changed and leave he desided not to. Noise seemed to be ok but still he was a slave to that noble although Alister could think up better names for someone like him, then at that moment Noise's slaver made his way over, Alister jumped up to his feet and gave the man a dirty look as he got closer, Alister stood a little calmer then the first time.

Alister continued with the looks that he gave the man as the noble spoke of his porposal, and then removing the symboled ring from his finger at which Alister now realized that it was that, that was causing Noise the pain, once again Alister thought monster, the noble had his say and Alister was willing to make this deal, "and what matter is it that you speak of?", Alister was willing to help young Noise here but of course it came with a price everything did these days, what ever happened to goodwill, as far as Alister knew good will was now a myth that on certain moments may appear just a Xaldin had just shown to Noise.

Lunia looked at Casidy, she was slightly aggrivated by her bringing up the eyepatch. "No.." she said, turning her head away. "My entire appearance, it just seems to annoy people... i really wish i was normal.." she added. Standing up slowly, she held onto her head again. She let out a moan, and closed her eyes again. It wouldn't go away, and it was getting worse.

Leonardo nodded and said. " I understand, I'll send the SPecial Task Force out to take care of the issue. Rine, if you would, Iwould like you to lead them to find the Jester. However I won't force you to do it. " He looked back towards the regent and said. " Sir Ithinkyou should take a day off. You appear to be more tense then usual. Why not relax a little while we handle these affairs? " He asked as he unfolded his arms. " I know that we all must be on our best but sleep nad rest allow us to stay our best. "He looked toRine and smiled. " Besides with a fire cracker like Rine and myself taking care of business things will go smoothly. "

Xaldin raised an eyebrow at the Lord. He thought for a moment and then laughed a little. " Agreed. " He stood up and gently took the ring. " Noise. What do you like more. Magic, or Melee combat? " He assumed this would be a better way to think of what to do with him. If he liked magic ore then he could watch after him for a while, if he prefered melee then he would ask Alister to act as his brother, this was assuming Alister was a melee user. He looked down at Alister and smiled. " So what do you say? Do you want to watch over our little friend? I'm afraid my line of work would lead a rather boring life I don't think I'm suited to watch after him. Besides I'm blind I wouldn't be able to develop a friendship like you could. " He laughed a little andd then continued. " Besides it's not like you'll be his father, just his friend I'm sure he could use one of those right now. " He turned to the Lord and smiled again. " I can see that you're smart, you know when to cut your losses, for that I want to thank you. Now I believe it would be best if you were to explore the town, people around here wil only see this one event and immediately judge you to be a harsh slave owner, for the sake of your reputation I would say just walk around until tomorrow. " He glanced over his shoulder when Alister adressed him.

" What did I mean? " He laughed lightly and looked back. " I meant exactly what I said. I can't have either of you dying, or being locked up right now, it would ruin everything. For now just try to be careful, believe me all of my cryptic clues will become clear later. For now you'll just have to live your lives normally. Enjoy the normallity, eventually it will all go on a different road, and the world will change. " He looked down at Noise and back to Alister. " So for now live, and try not to get the guards angry, the Regent has been abnormally on edge I wouldn't want to test his temper. "

Rugalia was thoroughly confused by the man who had just run off, but he didn't have much time to think about it before he was being spoken to by the man he had previously ignored, "No, I'm not one of the Regent's guards. I carry these weapons because I...like to." He told the truth, as he really didn't have much more of an explanation. As he turned to get a good look at the man, he noticed that the man was quite tall, standing almost a head taller than him; he also had peculiarly sharp teeth. After his quick examination, Rugalia continued, a bit offended by the man, "For your information, I am not a 'Merc'. I fight, sure, but I'm more of an...adventurer. I go places too dangerous for..." The man cut him off with speak of a clown butchering people; the description matched that of the body he saw, but before he could say anything, he was being assaulted by the man. Luckily, his guard was still up due to his increased suspicion. The man's attack left him extremely open, which, while somewhat confusing, allowed Rugalia to throw a punch to the man's stomach with a high chance of success before he could plant his attack; of course, Rugalia was still exhausted from his travels, so the punch didn't have very much power behind it. The man's arbitrary attack confused Rugalia, and he didn't want to seriously harm him before he knew the man's intentions...that is, if he could seriously harm him.

Everybody was acting confusing today. Rugalia was now very confused, as the man immediately stopped and put his arm around him. His speech implied that he had been testing Rugalia to see if he was one of the Regent's guards, who the man seemed to have a strong hatred toward. The man then brought his head down to Rugalia's ear, and seemed to try to scare him, though Rugalia didn't respond; this man may be big, but Rugalia was confident in his skills, and wasn't sure that the man could defeat him so easily. He then proceeded to 'pat' Rugalia's back, something that made him flinch behind the power in the pats. Maybe...this guy is pretty strong. All else aside, the man asked Rugalia why he was scared, something the man was able to tell. Rugalia looked up at him, and spoke, "Well...I guess you could say that. On the way here, I found a blood trail and, for whatever crazy reason, decided to follow it. I came across a house with a very badly butchered body in it. That's why I'm spooked." Rugalia then continued, in a more light-hearted tone, "Of course, I'd like to investigate, but I haven't had a good bed or food in days, and I'm dying to have a drink." He then smiled devilishly, "Not to mention meet a few ladies while I'm at it...care to join me?" He held his hand out to the man, awaiting a handshake and a good tavern.

The Inferer RED

'I am Rine~<3'


“I know. But they are so fun,” Rine grinned as she paced backwards listening to the others speak.

“Ominous? Me? Why thank you. It seems as though your blade is sharp as well, just to give you a complement,” she said after walking, backwards, past Leonardo. “The Red Death was terrible, you were fortunate to have escaped it. It caught other races, too, not like the human's normal plague.”

Rine relaxed her face muscles and stopped walking, arms now off her head and crossed. Cyrus was beginning to speak.

“No, please don't destroy the world. It's where I keep my victims,” she jested hearing the Regent's words.

“Ah, my informants. The one in Ruthbar said that there were some families being killed off that were connected to the guard there. And a few of the troupe were under my surveillance earlier for rebellious activity. So it is true that the jester has been killing rebels. On the other hand there has been some attacks on some nobility in another town. I'll have so pin point an exact city where he may be. But I would check out Ruthbar first,” she said more serious before.

When Leonardo spoke again she listened closer since her name was said, “I'm up for a little exploring,” she nodded, “And I'll try not the leave the force behind. Besides, if there's a guy called the Jester I'd love to meet him. And crack him up.”


'Now meet your demise~

Rugalia turned to the girl and bowed, giving her a sly smile before turning to follow Clad. They walked for a bit down a solitary road before arriving at a simple-looking tavern. Rugalia followed Clad in, and sat down at the same table as him, which was covered in scratches and dents, and alarmed Rugalia somewhat. Regardless, the tavern seemed to have food, drink, and some girls, and that was all that really mattered; besides, if the need arose, Rugalia figured he could take care of himself, and even if things got out of hand, Clad seemed like a perfectly capable fighter. He turned to Clad, realizing he didn't know his name, "Ah, sorry, but I don't think I caught your name, mine's Rugalia." He said in a friendly manner.
