everybody gonna dip {joiner} - Flora - 11-06-2024 The crunch of her footfalls on the ground was the only sign she was there. Stealth had always been her thing. The cougar was trained as a cub for her line of work. Yet, here she was. Running from said job and leaving the past behind her. She hated all that her past had brought to her. Losing her kids, her husbands all trying to kill her, and now she walked with a limp. Her left leg. Damaged from a bad fall during a fight. She had never been the same sense. She hoped her luck would change. She would find a new home and live there without fear. She was not sure about finding love or a family. After all, once bitten twice shy. So, she avoided the thought all together. Start small and work her way up to such daring things. The woman snorted at the thought. Paws coming to a stop as she smelled a scent. A border. She knew that smell was a clear sign of a group. So, she sat. Patiently waiting. RE: everybody gonna dip {joiner} - Project K - 11-06-2024 "In all of my years, you types haven't gotten much stealthier." The grizzled veteran spoke from between two golden clad warriors, the white mask hiding stained bandages. The armored trio approached slowly, the Captain reduced to a stiff limp as he was getting used to his new leg. "Need your name and business, little miss. You find yourself on the border of The Horde, ruled over by the Lady Rosencrantz." Project requests, giving an inquisitive search over Flora with his remaining eye. She wasn't one of the usual refugees, deserters, or traders, no. She carried an edge to her, one that he recognized as a killer's posture. "Let me guess, you're here to join the merry band of mercenaries? Ah, shit, that's good. I'm always needing more recruits, and Lady Rosencrantz would be elated to see her knight corps grow more." The wolf assumed, sitting before Flora whilst he waited for her response to his slight interrogation, getting weight off of wounds he wasn't supposed to be aggravating yet. Rosemary would skin him, should she find out. RE: everybody gonna dip {joiner} - Flora - 11-07-2024 The woman let her eyes shift to the male as he spoke. Ears flicking as he asked her questions and then answered one of them himself. "If I wanted to be sneaking I would be. I am not here to sneak, but to be found." Her reply was calm and quiet in nature as she looked at the trio before her. Tail swishing behind her until she finally stilled it. "I am Flora Flamincato. I came here to join, as you have guessed." She answered with a rather amused tone to her voice. He was interesting, that was for sure. RE: everybody gonna dip {joiner} - Project K - 11-07-2024 "Yes, yes, I could figure this out. Brass tacks, my dear, I am an old man." Project laughed, nodding happily. "So, you wish to join us. This is good. You are more than welcome to our order, Miss Flamincato. As a knight, I presume, so I'll get the introduction out of the way, I am Knight Captain Project K. This means I will end up being your boss, should you stick with us." He continued speaking, shifting back and forth on his paws. "I know, I don't look all too well fit, what, with my missing leg, but hey, shit happens, no?" Another breath was taken, let out as a sigh. "Anyways, anyways, before I get ahead of myself, I take it you used to hunt, let it be hunting others or hunting game, you walk like some of the inner circle companions. How old are you, Miss Flamincato? Or shall I call you Flora?" The mercenary asks, mismatched eyes flicking from the newcomer to his two Praetors, then back to her. RE: everybody gonna dip {joiner} - Flora - 11-08-2024 The woman eyed the man a moment longer. Studying him with a curious gaze. The assassin would offer a smirk before speaking again. "Boss, eh? Fine by me. Anyone that can survive an injury like that and still be limping about while healing has to be tough." She mused with a flick of her ears. Letting the words hang in the air as she took in his next question. The newly named knight would stand and stretch her pale frame. Muscles rippling under her fur. "Bold question, Mister K." She almost purred the word as she took a step closer to him. Eyes flicking with mischief. "Flora is fine. I rather not be formal about things. Makes life messy for me." She let out a soft sigh before speaking once more. "I'm six. Old for my profession, or, well at least where I came from." She mused as she looked away from him. Almost lost in thought. RE: everybody gonna dip {joiner} - Project K - 11-09-2024 "I hesitate to say I'm tough, Flora. At most, I'm just hardy enough to survive things." Project said with a nod of his head, a smile growing across his face. Once she told him her age, he stopped, taken aback by her words for a moment. "Oh gods, if you're old, then I must be ancient." He comments, laughing before shaking his head softly, amused by the circumstances he found himself in. As she stepped closer, the Praetorians stepped in towards the Captain's flanks, a defensive show of force. "We do not recommend approaching the Captain, newcomer." Spoke the taller of the two, to which Project simply bumped them with his shoulder. "No, Knight Praetor, there is no need for hostilities, this is a new Knight Apprentice, she came to join us. I appreciate the caution, yet there is no need." He spoke softly, unbothered by the potential harm that Flora could very well pose to him. "Anyways, Miss Flamincato, I would be honored to answer any questions you may have about the Horde, all you need is ask." RE: everybody gonna dip {joiner} - Flora - 11-09-2024 "Humility keeps us alive." She retorts calmly as the guards stepped towards her. Her gaze shifting slightly to them, but almost dismissively. "Please. If I came here to harm someone, I would have and would be long gone by now. I simply stepped closer as a show of respect. It is common in my old home." She snorted before turning her eyes to the male before her. Head dipping slightly. As if she was thrilled he had not flinched. Respect shown to both parties. At least from her view. "You live in a different world, warrior. We both have out lived most of your kind." She would lift her head and move to walk past the three. "Where should I make my home? I have travelled far and could use some rest." She mused softly. RE: everybody gonna dip {joiner} - Project K - 11-10-2024 "Violence of action is what keeps us alive. Humility just makes the violence that much more effective." Project countered with a soft smirk. He already liked this recruit; she had a good head on her shoulders and the fire in her belly to back it up. When she had commented about them both having outlived their people, the Captain laughed before sighing. "Right you are." As for her further question, Project would nod and raise his prosthetic limb to aim a paw at the gate they stood before. "Through here, make a left, you should see all the red banners hanging off of the building? That is our standard barracks, but you may claim somewhere down in the city outside of the manor to call your home. Personally, I sleep in the barracks, as I want my Knights to have the ability to speak to me at any hour they need to do so." He spoke, shrugging as he set his paw back down, standing up to lean against his Praetorians once more. RE: everybody gonna dip {joiner} - Flora - 11-23-2024 The woman would glance over her shoulder at him a moment. Noting how he leaned upon the guards. He was not his best right now and she knew it. The guards were fools for letting him out here. The woman paused in her step and turned her frame around to face him. It is not my place, but.. You should come back with me. You look worn thin and could use a rest. Perhaps once I am settled in we can have some tea and chat? She offered as she glanced at the guards. |
