We should discuss that in the OOC thread. You can have weeks of absences as long as your reason is valid, such as yours right now. Your character would simply be away from the fantasy world and living his normal life on earth.

edit: please reply using the OOC thread instead.

Alicea became sad because of what Apollo did. In not believing of, what she said. Alicea spoke before he followed her saying * Wait..... you still don't believe, me do you?......if you did that rock would, not be in your hand.....and you gave me a fake smile too......so maybe it was wrong of me to find you....* Alicea never felt so sad, in her entire life. Because Apollo didn't believe what she was saying. Then she said *If that's how you see me, then there is no point in following me back. You can find a way back on your own....* Before she left on her own, to go back to the mansion. She said to him *There will be times you will have to trust, and believe people from this world. Especially the people who were brought here just like you......so if you don't mind, I want to be alone now....*So Alicea left by herself, to go back to the mansion with a sad face.

   The young man who had slipped away, not entirely unseen, had not evaded Atlas' observant watch as he spoke to the flying dragon, something he would never have imagined doing in his wildest dreams. He would wait and see how this runaway would fare making his escape in those dark strange woods before he attempted making any escape himself.

   Much to his surprise, both a young girl, and the man who had ran away earlier came out of the menacing forest.

   "They came back?” he thought in astonishment, “What could be worst out there than here?”

   What seemed to be the owner of the dragon then came out of the building, and casually spoke to not only the beast, but the lot of characters that had been going to and from this… mansion. She seemed so young; how did she have the courage to speak up so sternly to some of these terrifying looking people, people who Atlas now noticed almost all had a similar necklace to his own.

   “Kids…” he jokingly said to her, referencing the group of various men and woman she was speaking to, “don’t you have GPS bracelets to match their necklaces?”

   Atlas, while using his gentlemanly charm and confident graceful attitude as he usually did, was, under the surface, a man desperately trying to place the pieces of this outrageous puzzle together.

Alicea managed to return back, and head straight into the mansion. she opened the door to see many people inside. but, she went to go and find where the others were. she finally found them, and joined without saying a word. she found a place to sit. awaiting on what will might happen next.

Marcus woke up.

"That was a nice nap. Had a great dream."

Marcus looked around. "Looks like everyone's here. We can finally get started!"

Emmy yawned. "They are sure are taking their sweet time deciding what to do..." he said as he paced between the garden and the foyer of the mansion. (It was hot, the door was propped open.)

The man who had revealed his name as Terran started pacing back an forth in the main hall of the guild as he appeared deep in thought at the moment he may be puzzling the new recruits of the guild with his somewhat unusual behavior.

~ Why am I here again? Why did Ellie ask me to come here and not hand out a mission already? It must have something to do with recruits if I would have to guess~ Terran thought to himself. (That is how I was taught text that describes thinking, if I'm supposed to use something else Juley let me know please.) ~But what could that be? There are a few things I can think of and a few of them I might actually enjoy, the others... Not so much.~   ~I just wish she wouldn't be keeping us in the cold like this here, at the very least she could tell me what's going on since she personally asked for me.~

Marcus saw the man walk out of the mansion, and thought to himself "Oh come on. We just got everyone here..."

He stood up and walked toward the mansion entrance, yelling "DUDE! WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU GOING?"

He began to follow the man, shouting "GET BACK INTO THE MANSION, DUDE! WE NEED EVERYONE TO START THIS BRIEFING!"

Marcus looked around, his sword held firmly, looking around for the man who had disappeared. "What a weird guy..." he though to himself, as he walked around looking.

"FINALLY!" Emmy shouted excitedly.

~I guess that guy will being everyone in. Good timing too. My house of cards is done!~ Emmy thought as he sharpened his sword.

Alicea, was wondering what was taking so long. So she said in thought *I wonder when it will start.....* She looked around again, then she looked at something else. Alicea had no choice but, continue to wait, for what will happen. She noticed two people have gone missing. Then she said to herself *Not again.....I'm not going after those two....they can come back when they want....* actually Alicea wanted too but, she thought if she did, that she would get the same treatment. Of what happened before, to do with her and Apollo. So she said *I'll stay here and continue to wait....* So, she stayed where she was, and minded her own business.

Alicea, didn't want to introduce herself to the others. So she just kept quiet and listened to what, else was going on.

Marcus put his sword away.

"Where is that guy...," he thought to himself. "Hmm...he probably went back to the mansion."

Marcus walked back into the mansion to see the cursing man blaberring about stew. He laughed out loud, and said "STEW!? You really think you can turn ME into stew? Huh...that actually gave me a good laugh. For a foul-mouth..." Marcus pulled his sword out. "...you can certainly tell a good joke. Of course...I'm willing to bet you wouldn't DARE fight me. Am I right?"

Marcus pointed his sword at the foul-mouthed man, awaiting his response.

Terran grinned as he turned to face Marcus who had just challenged the man who had been rambling on with talk about how he would kill absolutely anyone who got in his way and grinned slightly. "Is it just me or is almost everyone here itching for a fight." Although he didn't say it as if he were asking it as a question but rather stating it.

"Don't worry newcomers, you will get your fights soon enough, we all will." He said as he turned his head and stared directly at Alicea. He turned his attention on the man who had been talking about stew. "Let me make this clear to all of you, you are about to join a guild," He said. "That means these people are your companions, your family, your best friends and your greatest allies."

His expression and voice turned a little more grim as he spoke his next words. "But the next thing you need to know is that if you betray your guild members in the slightest they will hunt you down like game and end you." "So let's not fight among yourselves." He said hoping to have defused the situation a little even though he himself is not technically a guild member.

"Oh, and let me add this." He said still looking at Danny. " It doesn't matter how powerful or skilled you are, there is always and I mean always someone better. And if that's not the case there is always someone who will at the very least be able to best you due to personal abilities and traits, just remember that."
