Karen: "...that's not the impression I got...as far as I could tell, I think she meant that teams generally don't help each other because there isn't enough resources to go around, or something like that?  She didn't specifically say teams aren't allowed to help each other...I think..."

"Still, leader should encourage your Guild to fight together, even on missions. Not encourage them to fight against all of them. And dont give me that "there isn't enough resources'' to go around. Bullshit. There is not necessary that much resources to guide everyone."

"I am against his way of Leadership. And I gonna out of here in the first opportunity I got. I a ninja. And I prefer freedom."

Karen:  "I really don't think this place is 'evil' or anything like that.  At least, it probably isn't...I mean, why would they have job boards where the local community can post requests if they were?  That doesn't sound very evil.

"I could give a couple of reasons for that. But I will remain silent. Lets see long it will take until we kick the bucket."

[no one]

Dax looked at Kogeki and began suspecting that he and Kogeki might end up in a proper fight at some point. He hoped it would never reach that point in time. The same with Pyra in all honesty. Both of them seemed volatile and had the potential to piss important people off.

"If it turns out these guys are the type to kidnap babies and sell them, I'll fight alongside you mate. Until then, I'll behave in a civil way, and be friendly to the rest of them. Or neutral at the very least. No matter how rude they are to us. Respect has to be earned, and if I have to endure some sass and sarcasm along the way, so be it. I happen to like Delphox. She's got a powerful sort of personality. I think I'll fit right in here."

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Oh, Ziggy Kee makes extra-sure to remember that 1. no battling within the Guild is allowed and 2. field experience = taking and completeting job requests is best experience. His fine fur bristles in eager as he's already anticipated and exicted for the next given missions!! If he weren't so tired and hungry, he's totally be up to explore another mystery dungeon...


Towards Kogeki's words and opinion on the whole Guild and the way its led, Kee is kinda

like this.

"Daaaaaamn K'geki, ya were SO EAGER 'bout joinin' a Guild, havin' changed yar mind now?" He can't help but to facepalm with one of his paws. "Ya're quite fluctuating in yar mood 'n opinions, ya know." And then he shrugs in a non-chalant way. "Well, ya can do what ya want, but I will STAY HERE 'n I will work t'wards b'comin' an Adventurer who's respected 'n looked up to, a valid 'n proud member of Delphox' Guild. Got a reputation t'keep up? No problem for me!~" He looks thrilled and super-curious about the whole deal of 'we are a prestigious Guild'!

"That, and none said ya're PROHIBITED from workin' with another Team of tha Guild... It's soundin' more t'me like it's a thing that's usually frowned upon 'n not agreed to. Actually, ya know, what's so baaaaad 'bout that? Is it yar pride tellin' ya t'better do things by yarself? Well, in that case I kinda have that bit of pride within me, I fear... Where's tha adventure 'n thrill if there's no challenge? I'm... my, I'm heckin' CURIOUS 'bout what we - or I - can accomplish on our own, hehe~" ☆(^o^ ) "B'sides, would YA want to share precious loot 'n rewards with another Team? I know I would be... hesitant 'bout that."

He stretches himself like a housecat. "Well, I'll be off 'nto that dinin' room dear Floette mention'd. Anyone comin' too?~"

Everyone's stomachs rumble simultaneously now that the topic of food has been brought up.

"...ahahaha.  I guess we haven't really eaten anything since we went to that dungeon, have we?  Count me in on getting something to eat!"

"No, I have not seen any pokemon that match that description, either.  If you can anticipate what my answer will be, then I'd rather you not waste my time with the question."

"As a Guild, offering training is part of our job, and there is a local dojo where you can practice your skills.  Learning is not a quick process, though, particularly since you all look to be rather young.  There is no good substitute for field experience, either.  Taking on jobs is how you will learn the most quickly.  The badges and bags that Floette provided you with are yours to keep so long as you are members of this organization.  The guild also provides one meal each day for members."

Delphox gives Pyra another narrow eyed stare when she asks a second round of questions.

"Fighting within the guild's walls is strictly prohibited.  You would do well to remember that."

"I have no time for personal questions."

"Anything related to crafting, you'd be better off talking with Marcus about.  He's the local expert on the trade.  I'll have Floette summon for the local healer once we are done here as well."

"Any further questions, ask Floette later.  I'm afraid I am out of time for entertaining you, and must get to other business.  You are dismissed.  Floette, a moment, please?"

The little fairy snaps to attention as soon as Delphox mentions her name.

"Hm?  Oh, absolutely!  Alright everyone, shoo!  I'll be with you again in a little bit.  In the meantime, one of the hallways in the lobby leads to the dormitories and the dining room.  Wait for me there.  I'm sure you can find it on your own!"

Floette quickly ushers everyone else out of the guildmaster's chamber, and the large door shuts in front of them, leaving the hallway outside silent except for the crackling of torches on the walls.

Karen blinks a few times as the door is shut in the group's faces, somewhat awestruck by the atmosphere of recent events.  "...well, the guildmaster is certainly...authoritative.  I wasn't really certain if I should have tried to say something..."

Pyra can't help but tilt her head in minor interest as Delphox reveals little by little their public persona to the group as she finishes answering their questions. Stern, aloof, curt, a bit condescending and somewhat impatient, and seeming to have a problem with her and/or too many question (Judging from how they glared at her again.....), yet also reasonable, professional, straight to the point, and willing to be amiable despite any issues they may/may not have with someone. Overall, the Kitsune Mystic a tough but fair figure of authority. Hopefully she'll get the chance to learn more about them later without threatening to incite whatever sort of fiery temper they have, but given they seem to have some sort of disdain or fey interest for her......perhaps not.

The lil' demoness has nothing to say as both the fiery fox and their flowery subordinate dismissed them and secluded themselves away, only give the former a bow farewell and joining with her friends outside. One the doors closes she immediately regains her chipper attitude, smiling brightly to herself as she looked at everyone and gave them a enthusiastic nod.

"We did it, we did, oh yes yes yes! All of us are now Adventurers of this Guild, completed another step on our personal quests! May our futures be bright as Fire, and Dark fates be with us! But today, let us be happy and celebrate, yay!"

Well, someone is certainly getting in the swing of things! Go go Team ??? !

Karen's comment about Delphox gets a sympathetic nod, as that was almost the exact same overall impression she got. Kogeki's angry rant about them and the Guild, however, surprises and confuses Pyra, as she couldn't really understand (well, maybe a little, but not enough in this case) what he was getting from their meeting with the furry psychic to be so vehemently against them. Still, she tried to be supportive none the less - she need not understand to serve their best interest and fulfill their dreams and wishes.

"....I do not know why you revile and despise Superior Delphox and their Adventurer clan, no, but no matter what you will always have my support with whatever you now-future plan. *Reaches forward to grab one of their paws* This I promise to you now and always, Ninja Master Kogeki. *Smiles* Until that moment possible-when, let us do our best to grow strong and capable for our jobs and Quest ahead, yes, and get along and abide with the Guild the best we can. We have no reason to quarrel with them, nor are we prepared and ready for consequences of quarreling. Patience, patience, until we are ready, yes?"

Dax's attention doesn't go unnoticed, and she gives him a curious look before sharing with them a bright smile and thumbs up for their positive attitude.

"Yes and verily, that is the exact right idea indeed! Thank you for sharing it, my frilled friend!"

Kee's overwhelmingly eagerness and optimistic outlook for their new lot in life, on the other Pokehand, isn't shared by the brimstone imp, as becoming an Adventurer is their dream come true, not hers. For now, being an Adventurer to her is just a means to improve herself and her friends for success and survival in their Quest against The Darkness and chase/find leads towards it, nothing more and nothing less. Still, that doesn't stop her from being absolutely thrilled too, as she helped them achieve one of their dreams and is just happy for them too! So much she go over and leans over to give them a little half snuggle hug with her good arm, smiling at them from horn to horn.

"And you will have my continued and persistent aid in your dream-dreams  I can best give you, my Ziggy Kee. It and them is not mine, no, but if they are precious to you I shall ceaselessly make them realized and true. Because all that is treasured to you is priceless to me too."

Then, in a fit of impishness, gives them a quick kiss on the nose before skipping away, giggling to herself as she did so! Surprise affection, what fun, hm hm~!

Their assessment of inter-Team cooperation gets a quick nod and pleased/supportive smile from her, as that idea sounds most logical and reasonable to her, because if they were right then negotiations with other Guild mates were not a total lost cause, provide she can convince them through persuasion and/or rich rewards!

Lastly, Pyra would of course join Kee, Kathern, and everyone else to visit the mess hall for some grub. A young lady like herself needs all the fuel she to replenish herself after a hard day's work too, so let's get to it so she can fill up!

[Spiritmon]

Kogeki when everyone opinions try to calmdown his head. Including Pyra, Daxter and Kee words. "...I guess you people are right. I just dont like that...air of superiority whos kinda annoying. But I suppose I should try to temper things a bit about my mood. Dont agree about her attitude, since a Leader should inspire people to work together, not divide them. Perhaps call her evil its a bit radical."

"Maybe I a little hesitant about this guild thing. When we join the Guild I expected...I dont know, some kind of a bit more warm welcoming. And maybe some members a bit more social or something. And seeing Team Gallop style of action and then look at Delphox way of guide the Guild...well, its not need to get smart about the style of leadership she do."

"Still dont like one bit that Delphox, but I think for now, I could try calm my mood. I would prefer a more welcoming place, but this guild will to do. Guilds didnt suppose to be places where the members could feel like home or comfortable?"

"And yeah, I pretty much hungry. Lets go."

Ziggy Kee shrugs towards that. "Eh, Guilds can 'ave aaaaall different ways t'accept, recruit 'n welcome new members, I guess ┐(︶▽︶)┌ I for mah part already like it here!~" He smiles, there's a certain amount of PRIDE in this smile. "Same with a Leader, how our Guilmaster leads is HER matter. Encouragin' her guild members to get stuff done by themselves isn't bad at all, quite the contrary actually: We get t'learn to take care of ourselves quickly, aka the hard way. Wheeee, imagine the challenges ahead!!!~" ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ"

"Nah, 'nd dontcha judge other Teams just by how Team Gallop acted!~ Competition 'mong Teams 's fine t'me, that doesn't necessarily mean we can't try t'get to know or shouldn't familiarize ourselv's the other guild members. We're new here, after all!~ So, cheer up a lil' bit K'geki, will ya?~" He gently pats the deltadoggo on the shoulder, giving him an encouraging smile as he does so.

EEEEEEEHHHH!!!!~~ Insta-freezing, blushing faintly and grinning oddly to himself is Ziggy Kee's reaction to Pyra's suprise affection and nice words. His fur floofs up a bit and his heart and mind get into a turmoil! D-does his fierly demon-lady just enjoy to play around with him, does she just like to see him flustered like this ??

He pats and rubs his nose with a paw of his after Pyra skipped away and gives her a rather sappy yet honestly delighted smile in return. "Hehehehehe....~ Y... Ya shouldn't have!~ How sweeeeet of ya, thankies! (≧◡≦) ♡ ..... B-but I'm nat 'your' Ziggy Kee! (>o< )"

@Lord Windos

Kogeki do blush a bit when Pyra hold his hand a bit. He didn't know how to react, only a little thing. "...Thank you Pyra. I...not exactly a Master Ninja, but...I like the sound of it. If you...don't feel about our...hunting, we could do it other day when you're arm feels better."

"I could train in some room in this Guild if they have some training hall or something. Or maybe going to the dojo. Today was a crazy day, but I still have some energy left."

@PhantomUnderYourDesk

Kee optimistic personality make Kogeki a little better. "...Yeah. I think you right. And see so many strong people going into competition might help sharp our skills. And to reach out goals. Like find each of our friends. Gama and Susano'o are damn strong."

"I hope the next mission don't took a long time to complete. It felt like we been doing that Dungeon on a longer time. Also Daxter/@no one and Karen how about a training session before sleep? One of you guys will probably be team leader in the next mission so sharp your claws and voice could be good."

[no one]

Training... Hmmm... I'm tempted, but I also really want to take a dip. You might not be feeling it, but I really am not loving of this heat. I think I'll go for that dip instead. Have fun though, mate."
