The Start of Heroicness and Other Tomfooleries

Silk had been wandering the Guild for a good hour. At least, she thought it was an hour. She had arrived in Grassveil just recently, and was intent on joining the Guild and starting her own exploration team. Sad to say, her goals seemed to have been set aside in favor of touring around the building and talking to idling exploration teams. Although it was time consuming and rather pointless, the buneary had been able to get a bit of information and insight on what was to be expected once she joined the organization. Luckily, they didn't go by anything too strict. Just sign up at the Guildmaster's Quarters, get your starter stuff, then go about business by choosing missions from the nearby Bulletin Board. Not only were you supposed to receive Starter items, but your team would also be able to stay in their own designated rooms.

With a few more hops, the young female found herself in front of what was supposed to be the door leading to the Guildmaster's office, the place where she had been guided to for her registering. It wasn't too flashy, just a normal door. But even so, the Buneary felt so excited as if she were already in the presence of the well-known Faye. Raising a paw, she prepared to knock. Her fist stopped just inches away from the wood, realization dawning upon her.

'Wait... I don't have any team members!' She looked around, slightly frantic. Going solo was alright, she didn't have any doubts on exploring on her own. But having team members to back you up and enjoy the adventures with seemed much more charming than having to brave missions alone. Her ears stuck up high, twitching as she faced this way and that, searching as if someone available would just pop out of nowhere.

"Aw... Oh well, going alone isn't that bad." She said, sighing for a brief moment. She turned her attention back to the door, slightly reluctant. Maybe she could still head out and look for a partner. It didn't seem like anyone was teamless when she went around earlier, though. She could probably be able to recruit more members anyways. Taking a deep breath, the rabbit raised her paw once more, knocking on the wooden door and preparing to face the Guildmaster.

Although George had no room in the guild and he didn't have a team, he liked to scope out the guild. Hoping to find a team or a person who'd like to make a team. Every once in awhile he did think of just making a solo team but thought it was a bit odd. Although he saw plenty of pokemon who signed up for solo teams. Every time that happened he either got the urge to ask to join the person's team or just make one of his own. He kept trying to think of plans to join a solo team without making it seem so upfront and awkward. Like a subtle way. Okay, new plan... This one will be a good one I shall actually attempt. I'll just coincidently ask to sign up for a solo team at the same time someone else does. If they overhear, they may ask me to join. George personally had a large amount of doubt in his plan. It depended upon the variable of the pokemon asking them. If that variable wasn't going to happen, the plan would fail, but he decided to get in a line of sorts behind the buneary.

Skylar the Eevee walked into the guild. This was it, she was going to join a rescue team and begin helping others. She wasn't in it for the rewards, but the thrill and adrenaline rush of rescuing others, along with being able to save people in danger. She didn't want to have anyone hurt, especially Pokemon who ended up lost and unconsious in dungeons. Still, the thought of failure crossed the Eevee's mind. What if she failed a mission, or got lost in a dangerous dungeon, never to see the light of day again. Sky shivered at the thought. She wanted a partner, just in case something like that did happen. It would definately make her feel a lot more safer and comfortable while doing her future rescue work.

As Skylar headed to the Guildmaster's quarters, the din of the other explorers softened and it was a bit more quiet, as the guild member's quarters were definately less populated. As she stepped in front of the door to Guildmaster Faye's room, she noticed to other Pokemon already there. They probably weren't together, as they seemed to be lined up. The Pokemon in front looked to be a Buneary, and the Pokemon Skylar waited behind was definately a Buizel, as she had met one before on a previous adventure.

"Oh? Tally, is that you?" Skylar asked to the Buizel in front of her out of curiousity.

Silk shuffled her feet for a few seconds, attempting to distract herself as she waited for the Guildmaster to finally answer the door. 'Faye must be busy.' She thought, beginning to tap her foot. The excitement and adrenaline she'd begun to build up was becoming difficult to contain. She had to start moving, else she may end up busting in the office herself. She shook her head, knowing that wouldn't help at all. Although, the thought made her grin with how funny it seemed. Just bursting through that door and seeing a very surprised Meganium.

Her ears twitched upon hearing footsteps. She turned her head, watching as a Buizel made its way towards her only to stop behind her. Was it waiting for a line? The rabbit smiled, thinking the water type would be planning to join the Guild as well. From the looks of it, however, it seemed she wasn't the only one planning on joining on their own. Maybe this was her chance. "Hi there! Are you planning on making a team too?" She asked, voice chipper as usual.

It wasn't long before another face suddenly padded over to their pretend 'line'. An Eevee, it seemed. The brown fox spoke out, uttering a name towards the Buizel. The rabbit tilted her head in confusion, waiting patiently for the water type's reaction. Did this Buizel already have a partner? The Eevee seemed familiar with it, so she took that as a yes. The buneary still wanted to find out though, as  this could possibly be her chance to recruit 2 members if these two weren't planning on joining forces.

George stood in line for a good 5 seconds before conversations were begun. He first replied to the buneary in front of him. "Actually yes I am planning on making a team. Solo to be specific. Hopefully it changes to a team of two or three." George said hoping he didn't make it too obviously he needed a teammate or two. He heard a voice behind him ask if he was Tally. He knew it was directed towards him given he was the only buizel in the area at the moment. George turned around to face an Eevee. He would guess the Eevee would've most likely known that George was not Tally given the voice differences, but to be a bit more towards the side of making sure, he spoke anyways."Actually I'm not Tally. I know her, but you must've gotten me confused with her." George smiled a bit to hope it made it a bit less awkward for the Eevee. Plus it would look a bit more casual to people walking by the three so they wouln't have as much attention. Minus the fact new members does that quite a bit.

Skylar nodded in understanding, slightly embarrassed but otherwise fine. The Buneary also seemed to get into a conversation. Three strangers talking together... This is how friendships are built! Skylar thought, smiling.

"Isn't it interesting that we're all making our own teams at the same time? We all seem to be going solo, too..." Skylar said, drifting off a bit. Her ears drooped slightly. She wanted to ask them if they wanted to form a team with her instead of separately, but these were strangers. Skylar didn't really mind that herself, but even she had enough common sense to know not to go asking random strangers to just form a team. They might have other plans or think you're a weirdo. The Eevee kept quiet for now, waiting for the other two Pokemon to respond.

Having just woken up from a tiny nap, Faye was slightly embarassed to hear someone talking in front of her door. Had they been knocking? For how long had they been waiting? Hopefully she hadn't caused any inconvenience for them...
Hurrying over to the door to her quarters, the Meganium was relieved to see, that the Buneary, the Buizel and the Eevee on the other side seemed to be quite some friends, who managed to entertain themselves and each other for the time they had been waiting.
With the usual warm, almost motherly smile on her face, she began with her routine:
"Heya, dearies! My name is Faye. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yeah, it is!" The Buneary giggled, before finally realizing what the Eevee had hinted. "Hey wait, how about we all make a single team together?" She suggested, now giddy as the opportunity to team up with others had presented itself. These two didn't seem too keen on going on their own, hopefully they wouldn't mind teaming up with complete strangers. Not entirely complete strangers, really. They all seemed to be getting along alright. No one's cheeriness ticking someone off, and no one brooding too much that the room turned awkward.

It was then the rabbit picked up the sound of footsteps from behind the door. She hastily turned towards the wooden entrance, watching as the door opened to reveal a large Meganium. The Meganium's face was warm, welcoming, but had a wise air to it. Actually, the air could just be the smell of flowers and ferns. There seemed to be quite a lot of them littering the room, or it was just a natural scent that grass types like Meganium had. Either way, it was sweet and definitely brightened up the atmosphere.

"Hi Guildmaster Faye!" The Buneary greeted, sounding as if she had known the grass type in the past. "We're here to join the Guild!" She looked over to the other two, waiting for some kind of reaction. Depending on how one could look at her words, it may suggest that they were signing up as a team, or they were all simply signing up at the same time. Either way, the Bueary wanted some sort of signal that showed whether they would act as one, or continue on with their separate teams.

George was happy to hear that the Buneary was glad to have a team with all three of them. However he didn't know about the Eevee. But he knew by saying 'We', it could mean any combo of the three people. Him and the buneary, Him and the Eevee. The Eevee and the Buneary or all three. So whether or not the Eevee wanted to be part of the team, George wouldn't put her on the spot to decide if it was awkward thing to say no or not. George noticed the Buneary decided not to continue with the signups. George thought it was to give them time to think of being a team. But it seemed nobody was talking. So George decided to get it started a bit. "Oh hello Guildmaster Faye. We were wondering if you could sign us up as a team. George said a bit quick. He hoped the Eevee would hopefully join in and decide to be a part of the team also.

The Buneary's proposal of making a team together was the question on Skylar's mind, and she was glad she didn't have to ask it herself. She smiled and nodded, and as Guildmaster Faye came out, the brown fox peered up at the fragrant grass Pokemon and continued to smile. As the other two Pokemon had agreed to join together, Skylar decided to follow. "Yes, pleace sign us up for a team," she agreed. Even with such a short time with her, Skylar felt warm and safe around the Meganium guildmaster.

"Oh, that's just wonderful, dearies! Of course I can sign you up!"
Seeing, that those three Pokémon hadn't been friends from the beginning, but rather decided to form a team together from what seemed to have been a single conversation in front of her door, Faye became even happier than she had been before.
It proved, that even in difficult times like these with the Mystery Dungeons everywhere, friendships could blossom from as little as a coincidental meeting.
"Now, if you would please follow me in, sweeties? It won't take long, I promise."
As the guildmaster had finished her sentence, she turned around again, slowly walking back into her quarters and waiting for the trio to venture inside as well, her usual friendly smile on her face.

After witnessing the Eevee and the Buizel agree to creating a team, Silk felt like taking the hugest leap possible and hitting her head on the ceiling out of sheer joy. Her feet ached to take a large hop, a common habit of hers when she felt an overwhelming surge of excitement. She couldn't do such a thing of course, especially not in front of someone of such high rank as the Guildmaster. Nonetheless, a grin grew on the rabbit's face face, presenting her gratitude towards the miraculous turn of events. Looks like she wouldn't be needing to work on her own! To top it off, her new teammates seemed really friendly.

She followed the Guildmaster into the room, taking some time to observe the area. A pretty normal room, with a few wooden furnitures, a few bags here and there, and minimal floral decoration. It was very much fitting for the Guildmaster of the Grassveil Guild. She hopped lightly on the wooden floor, releasing some of the excitement she had gotten from earlier. She sniffed the air, picking up the calming aroma of the flowers and herbs put on display. It was nice, and did help her tame her energy.

She stopped, remembering an important detail that she had forgotten to ask. She hopped towards her two teammates. "Hey! I don't know any of your names yet!" She said, laughing lightly. How silly of her to not introduce herself, and to her teammates nonetheless. "My name's Silk! What're your names?" She asked, voice sounding as chipper as ever. It was slightly rushed, as she knew they still had to pay attention to the Guildmaster with the sign ups and all. The idea that they'd introduce themselves while signing up seemed a little odd for the rabbit. She wanted introductions that were by will, not by the need to have their names written down. That wouldn't be a good start for friendship, at least for her.

George saw the face on the buneary and knew that all three of them were going to be on a team. He didn't notice none of them introduced themselves. George was a bit too excited to once again be on a team. "Oh yes, I completely forgot about names." George said while in his mind he semi-yelled at himself. "My name is George, nice to meet you Silk." George looked towards the Eevee to hear her name before the guildmaster continued on with the team registration.

Skylar smiled and nodded as she walked into the Guildmaster's room. She realized that she hadn't given her name, either. She figured it really didn't matter until this point. "I'm Skylar," the Eevee said. "Pleased to meet you both~!"

Now that that was over, Sky walked a bit farther in the room, closer than she was before, signalling that she was ready. Or, at least semi-ready. The Eevee knew they would have to pick a team name, and they would have to agree on them. She was sure Faye would be patient if it took a long time to figure something out, but she continued to wonder what the team name could possible be. She hoped it would be something original that fit the trio, but what?

As she heard the three friends happily introduce themselves, Faye couldn't help but smile as she found herself reminiscing about her time as an explorer. Wonderful times they had been indeed, but now it would be the young recruits, who would be exploring new areas and helping other Pokémon.
Calmly the Guildmaster retrieved a rather large tome from one of the bookshelves, which were adorning the back wall of her quarters, before setting it down on her desk.
"Since you three have already introduced yourself, I think we can skip that part, sweeties. The next step could get a bit complicated, but I'm sure you can find something. You'd have to agree on a name for your team now. Don't worry if you can't find anything immediately. You'll think of a name you three will all like. I'm sure of it."
Patiently the green dinosaur waited behind her desk, watching the three new recruits parttaking in their discussion.
