The Lady Takes The Stage (OPEN)

[Cecelia Riddel]

So this was Cabal.  Some or Cecelia's reservations flared to the surface as she looked over the lawn, her multiple trunks and baggage at her feet as she took in this place that was supposed to be a new home and chapter in her life.

She already disliked it.  She wasn't even sure how these people did it, mixign military and civilian.  What if some random brute just came up to her and demanded a fight? 

But she was here for a reason, and fussing now wouldn't help.  She could fall apart after she found her room.

"Oh dear..."

[Donovan]

Donovan would be walking about when he saw a girl standing around looking lost. He decided to greet her!

"Hello! What brings you here? To learn? To teach?"

Then he would get excited.

"To fight?!"

[Cecelia Riddel]

Oh, a friendly face! Celia heaved a small sigh of relief, keeping the sound to herself as the one-armed man appeared. She wondered if he had been injured in battle, but refrained from asking or staring at the missing limb. A weak smile touch her face as she started to answer - right up until he asked about fighting.

"Me? Gracious, no." She linked, wide-eyed as an owl and recoiled slightly at the thought. Clearing her throat, she continued with fiery red cheeks.

"Please forgive my rudeness. My name is Cecelia Riddel, and I'm a new transfer here. Are you a resident here?"

[Donovan]

Donovan would frown at the sudden obvious displeasure towards fighting. But she was a girl, a girly girl at that, so it was not that surprising in hindsight. Either way.

"Ah... sorta? I'm new here too, I only just got here after that explosion. They treated me here and... I decided to stay and learn."

[Cecelia Riddel]

"I see." She seemed dismayed at the mention of the explosion, nodding to herself as she continued.

"Well I am glad to see another who survived. Tell me, where do I find the servant, Mr....?"

[Donovan]

Donovan blinked.

"Uh... the names Donovan. And... what servant?"

[Cecelia Riddel]

Did he...not know what an introduction was? Concerned and confused both, Celia let his demeanor slide and noted the question about no additional staff. It made sense; such places were full of all kinds of people, and if she was going to have to reside here, she would have to get used to it.

So long as no one asked her to like it. Clearing her throat, she shook her head.

"I merely wondered if there was someone who could assist me in moving my things to my room? I'm afraid I'm a touch too delicate to do so on my own." She blushed prettily enough, laying a hand on her travel trunk and the two bags, the latter which she could probably help with.

"I just arrived so I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure where to go from here. I assume I might find the information I need inside that building there?" She lifted a delicate hand to point towards the two front most buildings. She hoped it would be a common sense decision, but he seemed like he might not know much himself.

[Donovan]

Donovan would look at the buildings she pointed out and back to her, shrugging.

"I dunno, like I said. I typically end up getting all my info from that building."

He would say pointing at a building that had a big red cross on it indicating it as the infirmary.

"But I doubt that's where you're gonna find the answers your looking for. Well, tell ya what, I don't mind traveling with you to find where you need to be. Go ahead and get your things and let's go check out those buildings!"

He would say as he turned around and started walking towards the buildings she pointed out.

[Cecelia Riddel]

She looked over to the buildign with the red cross and shook her head, already knowing that her answers weren't found there and getting all she felt she needed to know from Donnovan in that moment. He was too knew, and seemed woefully ignorant. More concerning was the fact he seemed okay with it, walking off after she'd just said she didn't have the might to tote around all her luggage.

"I'm afraid not. " She shook her head, staying where she was with her hands folded in front of her. "Would you perhaps mind waiting here? I can go check myself, but I'd rather not have reminders of home harmed while I'm away."

[Zack Asiv]

"And in her time of need a hero shall appear!"

A young man with blue hair would come running up, sliding to a halt near Celia.

"When a maiden calls for help, when she requests protection for vile injustice! A warrior for light, good, and all things innocent will appear!"

The young man poses a few different ways while he monologues about his reason fro arriving so swiftly!

[Donovan]

While the random man showed and was doing his poses Donovan would promptly grab all the luggage. Placing the bag strap around his neck he would balance the smaller case on top of the larger suitcase and pick it all up under his arm.

"Alright, I'm ready when you are."

He would say to Cecilia.

[Cecelia Riddel]

“Oh!” Celia let out a startled squeak, hands going to cover her mouth and the bubble that slipped out with the sound. Her skirt swirled with the rush of his entrance, but her hands fell in front of her as she gave the new young gentleman a pleasant and grateful smile.

“Thank you for your kindness, sir. We seem to be alright, just at a loss. We are both rather new here. Do you know which building is for administration Mr...?”

Hopefully he would be able to guide them, even if Donavan seemed rather ready to be on their way.

[Zack Asiv]

The blue haired man switches poses quickly before he responds.

"Shino Yuy, at your service, I shall escort you safely to the administration office!"

[Donovan]

Donovan would walk over to Shino.

"If you're walking with us. Make yourself useful."

And he'd toss the girls smaller suitcase at him.

[Cecelia Riddel]

“Thank you, Me. Yuy. Both of you, truly. I—“. She inhaled a sharp breath as one of her trunks got tossed like a rag doll. Or a weapon.

Something in the tossed baggage crunched as if glass had shattered. She let out a small cry of dismay and took a step forward, some of the sweet lilt of her voice fading with her minor heart attack.

“Oh! Please, be careful!”
