[size=10pt]"Okay, this is getting rid-ridic-redi... really dumb!" Elliott complains to no one in particular as he gets to the top of the small incline only to find more, larger hills he has to climb. "Whose genius idea was this?"

Oh, right. It was his. There was no one else there suggesting where they should go, or what they should do because he was on his own. Once again. The maned wolf sighs, dramatic and heavy. "Well, don't get your tail in a knot. We're almost there." 'There' being Elysium's territory.

And he needs to pull it together before he tries to introduce himself to these fine people. His paws stop for a moment as he takes a deep breath and smiles, "Come on. We're good-looking, funny... good-looking. They're gonna love us!"

He keeps moving, head held a little higher now. Then promptly trips over himself. He stumbles, but is quick to catch himself. All part of the plan, of course. "Woah, off to a bit of a... rocky start." He laughs at himself now.

[size=10pt]When he thought about who would meet while on this venture, he never thought about a huge brightly coloured bird that made him look up just to talk to her. It's a pleasant surprise, though. In fact, he looks mesmerized."Wo-ah! Wow. Look at you! Y'know, you're probably the prettiest thing I've seen in a while," he says to Nemhain.

He almost forgets he's being asked questions. "Woof, Elysium Territory? Finally! Man, what a journey that took. I mean, you, you're lucky. Great big wings and all. I gotta dirty up these paws and tire myself out getting around!"

Momentarily distracted by Lemy now, the maned wolf turns his attention away from Nemhain. Less amazing than the bird, but he's still glad to see people coming to talk to him. "A who now? Me? No. Though, I did know this one guy..." Suddenly, he remembers he needs to be answering those questions. "Oh, right! Cool coat thingy by the way-"

Elliott turns back to Nemhain, grinning at her. "The name's Mirage. I was hoping I could come up here, cozy up with you lot. I mean, I've got nothing else going on, might as well see what it's all about! What do ya say?"

Videogames hasn't been back for long, but even so, the fact that he couldn't actually remember what happened between his disappearance and his reawakening somehow made it easier to jump back into things without a second thought. Which is part of why Videogames found himself drawn to the voices -- of which at least one of them was talking. A lot. Videogames can relate -- well. Okay, he doesn't chatter as much but he still gets it.
"Yeah, no problem!" Videogames chirps as he appears, carefully skirting around the other two as he regards Mirage, his grin bright on his face. He assumes its not a problem, anyways. As far as he was aware, there was effectively an auto-acceptance policy in basically every group. .. Not that Videogames had ever bothered to ask, but anyways. "Nice t'meetcha! I'm Videogames," He chirps, all the while wracking his brain for important information. He's sure he knew this stuff well when he first arrived. Why was it so hard, now? "If you're looking to be a fulltime member I think you'll hafta swear an oath at the next assembly, though," The serval tilts his head thoughtfully. He thinks he missed the one meeting where he'd have been sworn in -- he'd have to do it properly next time one was held.

[size=10pt]What a welcoming party, and all for him! Mirage turns to the next person who wanders up and joins their conversation. Although he really wasn't sure what he expected when he came here, this was all a pleasant surprise and the ease of just being accepted. Or at least, being allowed to crash there for the time being. The whole full member business didn't really make too much sense to him, but he just nods along like he does get it.

"That's all I needed to hear! Oh man, this is gonna be fun. Like we're roommates or somethin', huh?"

Now he's getting the names of everyone and he has to keep his mouth shut just a little longer than he likes. The only thing worse than being able to talk to these fine people would be to miss someone's name, and skirt around it for months in hopes that it came up again so he didn't embarrass himself.

"Videogames. Really interesting name. And you have a cape thing, too! Is this a thing? It's not a thing, right? I mean, I'd probably look totally amazing in one, but they're really not my thing. Y'know?"

His eyes are quickly back on the big, bright bird. "Nem- Nemhain? Can I call you N? I'm gonna call you N. If it's okay with you, of course. Exce-excel-ex-eggs... ah, really good name!"

Looking at Lemy again, his eyebrows raise a moment. He isn't sure whether it draws him in or pushes him away more, but it definitely interests him. Ah, maybe their leader being the target wasn't the greatest, but he's sure it's all fine and good. "Well, I'll definitely be on the lookout, Lem! I might just be too pretty to die, I think I'm safe." He finishes that with a wink, shaking his small 'mane'.

And then there was the cat. There's not much said, but Mirage is already ready to launch into another tangent. "Oh, Rin! Like Rinny! You're the leader?" Like he really knows what the means in this context. "Awesome, super cool to meet you, then! I'm Mirage. Maybe you heard it, maybe you didn't. Just in case, there it is again!" He pauses, watching as she continues by him. For a moment, there's a little dip in his smile, but he quickly brings it back when he looks back at the others. "Well, thanks, everyone!"
