"I'm sure after we get enough lumber and funds that we'll have enough to have our own houses, but for now it seems like we only had enough for the second story and a certain amount of rooms." Brume began to walk away, but happened to glance over at the plans that Draco had for his house. "Wow! That place is amazing! Urgh... I am SO making myself something like that after we do enough jobs." He walked into his room and looked around at the beds. There was a set of bunk beds, as well as two queen sized beds beside eachother. The room had a beautiful living area with a couch, small coffee table and a chair, all of which had a beautiful view out the large window in the room. There was a built in bathroom with a shower, luxury sink and obviously a toilet. Brume put his hands behind his head and walked over to the bunk bed. "I'll take the top bunk I guess." He began to crawl into the bed before hearing a familiar voice. -- "Hi! This is already my bed, sorry, Brume!" Leege said, petting Brume on the head before he flailed out of the top bunk onto the floor on his back. "OW!" Brume yelled, rubbing his head. "I'll take the bottom bunk I guess..." Brume stood up but Leege suddenly leaned upside down off the top bunk, so their noses touched as Brume stood up. "Leege!" Brume blushed, as Leege smiled. "Sorry, I'm not bunking with a boy! The bunk will be all smelly and stuff!" Leege pulled herself back up and squeezed Taigor close. Brume sighed and turned around. "Says the girl who literally pissed herself in the street yesterday... But hey! It's fine! And also, what are you doing with Taigor?" He turned and tilted his head, looking at Taigor wiggling around. "Brume- Help... Me..." Brume pulled Taigor away from Leege by the tail and brought him over to one of the aforementioned beds. "Looks like we're sharing, buddy." He took off his shirt and his pants, leaving him in nothing but his boxers and he leaped into bed. "I don't wear clothes when I don't have to. So until dinner I'm going to be in my undies." Brume grinned, leaning back on the bed. "Wait.. How did you get here? Wasn't Rouen carrying you here?" He tilted his head. "Yup! Rouen and I went real fast though, I think he was embarrassed to be carrying a half-naked girl with him or something." Leege sighed and jumped off her bed. "I'm gonna go downstairs to get some milk from the bar!" She happily cried while she skipped out of the room. -- Merri skipped into her room by herself and looked around. The room was much smaller than the Master's Quarters, but it was still rather large. It had a beautiful view out onto the flower field, and off to the side she could even see the forest. The room also had a cute little sandbox in the corner, obviously they knew who this room was going to. Sadly, the rooms that weren't the Master's Quarters or The Previous Adviser's Quarters (now Rouen and Dawn's room) didn't have bathrooms, so she would have to use the community showers that were just down the hall from her room. She shuddered at the fact that anyone could see her naked if she forgot to lock the door. "Well time for a nap-" She said, about to lay down but she noticed out in the distance a man in the forest. It was one of her new guild mates, Canteen, was it? She looked over to see him watching some rustling bushes. "Oh gosh... Am I about to see him get eaten by a bear?" She sat down in the bean-bag chair that she was given and watched from her window. -- Dawn entered her room, of course it didn't have to be anything special, as it's not like she was going to be sleeping in it or anything. She noticed that there was a nice leather couch, as well as a king-sized bed that could be pulled apart to make two smaller beds. The room also had a bathroom, being the previous Adviser's room and all. "I really outdid myself here." Dawn smiled and sat in a chair. The room had one large window beside the bed and a smaller window near the door. One window overlooked the entrance of the guild hall, while the one near the bed looked out onto the neighboring beachfront. Dawn left the room, leaving the key in the door so Rouen could have his key, and walked downstairs to the request board. "All just simple crap... Rescue my daughter, kill this bear, come to my restaurant... Hm? Ohoho... OHOH... this is perfect." She walked over to the counter, where the bartender whom was filling in until the guild got settled in. "I'll take this request please.. It reads 'Wipe out the Bandit Camp living on the mountainside.'" Dawn smiled and was approved, she disappeared in a blast of light, off on her first job.

Do we get to pick rooms?!" Merri yelled out, coughing up the rest of the rose. She paused as suddenly Dawn, still wearing a construction hat, appeared in front of her face. "Well, hon.. You're going to have to choose a roommate or this simply won't work.. There isn't enough rooms... But alas! I tried my hardest!" Dawn put on a fake tear before turning around. "OH, NO! You did great! I'm perfectly fine sharing a room with anyone!" Merri called out, waving her hands around. "Heh... We have just enough rooms for you and you alone to have a room to their self. Not even Master Brume or Adviser Draco get their own rooms.. Lucky girl.." Dawn pet Merri on the head before turning around again. "Shadow, it seems as if you'll be rooming with Opus. Please be nice to him, he is my little darling after all.." Dawn blushed and had a very creepy smile on her face. "Oh, and if the two of you see Starry, tell her she's with Canteen, Leege and Brume in the Master's Quarters?" She grinned and fixed her hair.

If I'm going to be accepted into his guild I should at least talk to him first."

Brume averted his attention to Dawn talking about there not being enough rooms. "Wait... Me... Leege... Starry.... and Canteen... Who is Cante- NO... Oh god no..." Brume squirmed around awkwardly and looked to Draco. "I'm fairly certain you're rooming with Rouen and Dawn. Dawn claims she doesn't need to sleep so chances are it'll just be the two of you." He turned quickly and walked into the Guild Hall. "I hear footsteps. There is already civilians dropping off requests for our guild to complete.. Heh... Better see to those, shouldn't we?" Brume walked in, sitting on the bar counter, and taking a swig from an open bottle on the counter. He smiled, looking around to see the people around the guild. The Council had also sent in some workers to help with their guild's bar and management until they got the hand of it. Maybe they weren't half bad after all. "I'm pumped! First thing tomorrow I want to take a job! My first ever magic job!" Brume clutched his fist and grinned.

"Lucius, if you're just going to be bitter and self absorbed you should just stay back here. I don't need that kind of negativity." Brume went dead serious as he walked away, not even bothering to listen to Antonio about his tome. Brume arrived near Crocus after nearly an hour of walking, it'd turned out that they hadn't been that far from the Capital after all. He noticed Dawn building their guild and immediately had a jaw-drop moment. She was nearly finished building an amazing building, it looked like a club you'd find in any city. It had lacrimas that allowed music to be played, it had a stage and a bar. The thing even had a pool. Brume pondered, wondering how rich Draco must be to afford renovations for this place. He walked in and sat at a table as Dawn continued working on the roof, the occasional tile falling on his head. -- Leege screeched as Brume began to walk away and immediately began to chase after him. "Brume, no! You can't get awa-" She couldn't finish before she tripped on her pants, which were still around her ankles. "WAAAH! Brume! Wait I need to pull up my pants! Come back!" Leege wiggled around on the dirt until Merri walked up. "He's just headed to your guild, it'll be fine, you'll see him when we all go there!" Merri was busy admiring her new guild mark, it was stamped right on her belly, to show everyone her pride for her new guild. "To think I'm in a guild with people I barely know!" As Antonio began to freak out over the rose, Merri grabbed it and threw it in her mouth, making uncomfortable noises as she chewed the thorns. "There you go, Mr. Antonio! It's all gone!" She coughed a bit and walked over to Shadow. "Could you carry me to the guild? I think I'm going to be horking up chunks of flower on our way, so I want to relax my legs." She lifted her arms into the air. "Please" -- Perpe rolled her eyes as Lucius said he was a thousand times stronger than her. "Maybe you'd be that much stronger than me if I was crippled, bled out and being eaten alive by vultures." She groaned. "You don't need battle strategy when you can tear apart the strategist with your bare hands, and plus I'd never gotten to learn that stuff as a kid, so shove off." She watched as Brume and Lucius got into a conflict before Brume stormed off. "Wow, he's flamed. I haven't seen him that unimpressed since he found out that Dragon Slayers can't eat God Slayer magic... kehkehkeh.." She grinned but frowned again. She did feel legitimately bad for Brume right now, as he was trying to be in a good mood but kept getting it crushed by everyone else. "Hey Lucius, maybe NOT get into a fight with the council guy? He can like send you to prison and stuff, and I don't know if I would even want to break you out." She shrugged and looked to Draco and the others. "Go ahead on to your guild hall, I'll drop by once I make sure that Mr. Antonio here and Lucius don't tear each other apart." Perpe gave a little wave and a wink.

Brume signed the forms with no hesitation, albeit with sloppy hand writing. He then looked over to Rouen as he said Leege was the best looking and looked mortified as she pulled down her pants. "Hey! Listen to Rouen" Brume yelled, covering his eyes. He the pointed to his eyelid again. "Guild Mark please!" As he looked over to the symbol he made, Brume realized immediately what mark that was. "That mark is for Fairy Tail! They were known as the strongest guild in Fiore until they went missing 7 years ago. I don't know anything about their members, Mirajane just caught me up to speed when I went to their guild hall last week." He smiled and clutched his fist. "My goal is to take on their strongest members! That'd be one heck of a fight!" He grinned, leaning back. -- Merri burst out into laughter as Brume talked about taking on Fairy Tail's strongest members. "Dude! I don't think you could beat Mirajane if you took her on, let alone their even stronger wizards! They've got people like Laxus who are wickedly powerful, Gildarts who is considered the ace of Fairy Tail, Erza whom is considered Queen of the Fairies and finally Natsu, who is a dragon slayer like you and me!" She smiled and shrugged. "Maybe one day."

Not that I'd be any more helpful at lifting heavy lumber than any of the guys here..." Perpe blushed a bit and looked away. -- Brume made a hand gesture as Lucius spoke. "Talk to the hand, dude. Maybe you're better at putting on clean underwear in the morning than I am, but that's akin to me living in the forest for years and years. Even without my nice clothes, I'm still much more of a looker than you are." Brume winked, sending hearts out around him in that classic hottie sense, making most roll their eyes but making Leege applaud. "You get 'em, Brume! You're the bestest in the entire world!" She clapped and gave the occasional woo. "Well, stamp us with the guild mark, Mr. Antonio. I'd like to have mine right here." He pointed to his eye, and closed it. "Over the lid, please!" Brume gave a smile, as he looked to everyone else who was going to join his guild. He thought to himself. 'Red Rock, eh? Well this guild is sure to have a great time.. Wonder how many more adventures I'll have if my past two days were that chaotic.' Brume smiled and nodded to Antonio. "Whenever you're ready!" -- Leege finished her applauding and leaped over behind Brume, waiting to get her guild mark. "I wanna have mine right HERE!" Leege pulled her leather pants down around her ankles, not having the common courtesy to just roll up the pant leg. "On my thigh! Make it nice and bright red!" She smiled and looked to Rouen. "Where are you gonna get yours, Rouen?" -- Merri sat down on a rock nearby to where everyone was getting their Guild Marks stamped on. "I'll wait my turn, but whenever you're ready I'd like to have mine on my belly, please.. And while we're at it, got any sand here I can eat? Helps keep my magic up and running!"

Where are you going to get yours done? I'm getting mine right on my neck.. Maybe it'll ward off Vampires and whatnot." She chuckled to herself and looked over to Draco. "So.. Adviser, huh? Interesting role. It suits you." Dawn stood up and stretched. "Well, I'll go scout the location for the Guild Hall and I'll even get a head start on building. All this sitting around makes me antsy.. Just stamp me with my mark when you get there. I'll be near the Capital.. Crocus. There is a beautiful meadow near there, it would suit our guild well."

It also makes sense since we Rock!" Brume smiled and looked over to Draco. "I don't think that's quite how it works, but how about this, since I made the guild, I'll be the Master. But since I don't know a darn thing about running a group, you could be my adviser! You could handle everything while I take care of the trivial stuff like meetings and what not."

We came here for a rescue, but this robot man seems to want to interfere. Could I burden you with assisting us? You seem to be a guard, no? It would make sense for you to be hostile toward me, but don't soldiers fight for the people? Under Elis' lead you aren't benefiting anyone. Now, if you would like to assist us in rescuing our friend and getting Elis removed from the Magic Council then by all means be my guest. I would even be willing to bring you to your sister." Dawn smiled, getting tired of having to play nice.

"What the hell is happening to me!? This never happens! Never! Why?!" He was crying through his mask, before he stood up and wobbled back onto his feet. "Ugh... I need to get out of here and process what just happened. Let's get this fight over with..." He kicked a chunk of the wall out and sent large stones flying at Rouen to block his vision before using Eclipse again to move in behind him, this time changing it up by running around him quickly at a speed too fast for the human eye. With Rouen's Satan Soul he was sure he could see him, but that didn't matter for his plan. "Hell's Wake." The Man slid to a halt and pointed his hand towards Rouen before the black lines he'd made around him erupted into black energy and closed in. "Keep up the pressure, Rouen. I know it'll take more than that to put you down, but that's not my intention.. I just want to test my limits..." He closed his fist and looked to Lucius. "Lucius. Assist Rouen in fighting me. A two on one seems like the perfect way to test me, no?"

Merri suddenly gasped and fell forward as she was stabbed through the back with a sword, a non-lethal attack, but it would definitely be enough to subdue her. Above her stood an elite guard, holding his sword down about to finish her before looking up to Shadow. "Well it seems I have two worms to kill." He spun his sword about to bring it down on Merri. "Shadow! Run!" Merri cried out, struggling to get up as the guard kicked her back down and more guards flooded the cell. -- @@dragon4111, @@Techno Universal, Dawn felt the acid hit her back. "Kuh...

"Who are you, why did you throw that at me and give me one good reason not to tear your head from your body." She placed her hand on his throat. "Draco and Canteen, you two might need to team up to take on that metal-head. If you look like you're in trouble I'll jump in." She looked back to Dark Days. "Now, who are you, hon?" -- Brume stopped his attack for a second. Walking through the illusions, not bothering to attack any of them, knowing all of them were false. "Why do you hate Dawn? There has to be a reason to it and I'm sure your reason is a better outcome then your attack on me." He looked to the real Elis, dead in the eyes. "A dragon slayer's nose never lies. Now, explain. I promise I won't attack you unless your reason is stupid." The poison faded from his eye, meaning he was done combat for the time being. Suddenly, Leege jumped out from the building and grabbed onto Elis' leg. "Waah! Don't hurt Brume! He didn't do anything! Don't be a meanie!" She sobbed. "Leege, I'm fine. Let her go so she can explain herself." Brume smiled at Leege, which made her tear up with joy. "BRUME!" Leege ran at him, hugging him tightly cutting off his circulation. "Leege.. too tight.... tooo.... tigght...." He pet her head gently. "Now, Elis, care to explain?"

@@Arid_Blitz, @@Skylord Nexus, The Man allowed the first hit from Rouen to land, and it knocked him back. He was strong. More so than any average person. Maybe his size was partially to blame. As he brought up his right fist to deflect whatever counter attack he'd had planned, he just didn't react. "Are we fighting without magic? I never agreed to such terms.. So if you'll excuse me.... Eclipse..." He muttered 'Eclipse' as a black aura surrounded him, it wasn't simple manipulation of shadows or the dark.. This seemed to be more. Not simply the existence of dark, but the straight up absence of light. Before the thought could process, the man vanished, or better put he moved at a speed that would put someone like Dawn to shame. He quickly appeared behind Rouen, aiming an obviously non-lethal strike for his back. As he turned, he quickly brought his leg up to deflect the oncoming Perpe, who'd only pretended to enter the building. "Rouen! I'll save ya! Let me at em!" Perpe quickly brought her hand up and put it to the man's face. "Poison God's Acidic Rain!" She released small droplets of purple poison out at the man, he responded by blocking it with his cape, which dissolved the cloth and burned bits of his skin that touched it. "Tch.." He only made a slight noise before bringing his fist into her face fully, knocking her back into the wall creating a shockwave. "I decide to not attack lethally to you and you respond with such an obvious attempt at murder? Hmph... You still have much to learn in the ways of combat. That applies to both of you." He brought his hand up and sent a giant blast of darkness out at Rouen to keep him back. "Listen to me.. This fight will lead to both of your deaths. Your energy would be better spent taking on that mechanical gentleman. He just entered the fray near Dawn, Draco and Canteen. I know for a fact that any of them could stand up to him, but he still has much unknown power. You'd best assist them." He pulled his cape up and kept his mask on, looking back at them. "May the next time we meet be on better terms..." The man wandered into a room where Lucius and Alexander happened to be leaving as a man from the Magic Council was hidden back. "Did I intrude on something? Damn it..." He rubbed his cheek. "That Rouen... My fight with him went less effectively than I'd hoped it would but I believe I got the point across.." -- @@Techno Universal,@@dragon4111, Dawn slashed her sword, deflecting one of the men, and quickly stomping on his face. "Does this feel nice? Mortals deserve to be at my feet anyways, I'll even grant you the gift of life. What a benevolent god I am." She stopped stomping on the man's face and looked over to Techno, who'd just landed. "Ugh.. You..." She grunted, making a face of disgust. "Canteen? Honey? Would you mind dealing with him for the time-being? He doesn't understand the situation, so it would be a shame to end his life without at least explaining that we're not the ones who he should be fighting." She smiled and looked back to Draco. "Could you help me deal with the group of elite guards that are about to emerge to our left-" She was cut off by the group of men in full armor with magic weapons running out. Dawn gave a cute smile to Draco. "Well?" -- Brume gave no further warning before quickly lunging at Elis, swinging his fists in a craze. There was NO WAY he would be able to hit her at this rate, as she was much faster than he was and obviously more experienced. "Slow down and let me KILL YOU!" Brume swung his fist, landing it in the wall. He tried to pull it out before getting a better idea. He turned his head to face Elis. "Poison Water Dragon's ROAR!" He let out the strongest attack he's ever made in his life, it was a sharp purple water-dragon's roar that was able to tear clean through the wall and fire off further into the hills before exploding. "So... powerful..." Brume realized that the leverage he'd used for that attack was strong enough momentum to push him through the wall and give him and Elis a bigger playing field. "If there was a better time to win than now, I don't know when it could be." Brume grabbed his wrist, ready for whatever attack she could muster up. -- @@reader8363, Merri, the Receptionist, ran through the halls sobbing. "Waaaah! I can't do anything right!"

My name is Merri... Who are you? I promise I'm not here to hurt you! I-It's just dangerous... and I want to make sure you're okay!" Merri teared up a bit and held out her hand to Shadow.

It wasn't their MAIN entrance, but it was the hidden building in which they kept prisoners being interrogated. Leege could smell the blood from a distance, this had to be the place. "I'll save you, Bru-" She was cut off by Dawn resting her arm on Leege's head. "Here's how this'll go down. I'm 100x stronger than you, and Canteen and this Draco guy are pretty freakin' powerful too. So how about you, Rouen and Perpe sneak in to the other entrance. Not that they're weak, baby, but they need to be there to save you." Dawn cracked her knuckles. "Come out to play, whydon'tcha? I can sense you there." On cue, a group of elite assassins made themselves present from the shadows and immediately rushed the group, Dawn brought her leg up in a very swift manor and knocked the sword out of one of their hands and impaled him through the stomach with a beam of light. "Go! Before I stick you on these tough guys. Draco, Canteen, these guys are tough, don't let your guard down. You two handle the magic users while I take on these sword using brutes." Dawn flung her leg up and kicked the assassin down. "You're an idiot... Fine..." Perpe said breathlessly as her and Rouen caught up. "Leege, let's go. I guess it's only fitting that they distract while we actually save Brume." She began to drag Leege by the arm and ran around a corner to where a familiar hooded figure, but now with armor was standing by the hidden entrance. "Don't tell me... No way..." She muttered to herself, looking to Rouen and Leege. "You here for violence this time? That look on your face is different than the previous one." Perpe growled, knowing this time they would have to fight this loser. "Stand down. I don't want to have to fight any of you.. Believe me... I don't... But if it comes down to it I will have to. Leave your friend here, as morbid as it sounds it's the only way! Elis will capture the rest of you, and to stop that from happening I'm going to have to resort to violence." He raised his hood up further, Perpe noting his scar was still on his cheek. Suddenly an explosion came from inside the building, and flames flew out. "Damn it... Brume! We'll have to worry about him after.. For now this jerk is in our way." -- Brume grunted as he felt the poison going in. He wasn't going to die, not here, not now. She had foolishly given him more freedom, so while acting like he was losing consciousness he quickly leaped off the ground with his chair and hit Elis in the face with his head. "Oh god... If this doesn't work..." He quickly leaned down, tearing back at his wound with his teeth. "Ow!" Brume grunted, as he then started to consume his own blood and the poison. Not the way a normal human was, he was eating it as a Dragon Slayer. "I'm sorry... Perpe..." Brume collapsed to the ground, remembering all of the times Perpe had helped him in the past. "If I can't... Save myself once... Perpe..." Brume was on the doorstep of death, before suddenly his brain flashed to his memories with Leege, as short as they were. "Leege... So innocent... Taigor... I won't let... you see me this way...." Brume's eyes started to fill with the purple color of Perpe's poison and suddenly the shackles began to disintegrate. "I'LL SAVE MYSELF!" Brume looked up and let out a ear piercing roar, firing out water and poison, blasting the roof open and causing a fireball to shoot out of the roof. "Let's see what this 'draggie' can do now..." Brume wiped the poison off his mouth and got battle-ready.

"I'm fine! I just need a minute!" Brume grunted, trying to get to his feet. "You're pathetic! Aquados would be laughing at you right now, puny dragon! Know what the difference between us is? I can slay gods and you can slay dirt! Ahahahaha!" Perpe leaned forward, after having made the funniest joke of her life. "Sh-shut up! I can eat lots of water to restore MY magic, but you can't! C-cause you suck!" Brume retorted, tears welling in his eyes. "I bet I could eat your stupid smelly poison if I wanted to!" Brume cried, on the verge of breaking down. He didn't like people talking bad about Aquados. "Okay, first, dumb dumb, it's POISON. Even if you COULD eat other elements, its even riskier to eat poison because it'll kill ya from the inside out! I have a much higher chance of eating your water than you do with eating my poison.. Not that either is possible. Just never try to eat my poison, okay, idiot?!"
