- Opening Post information:
ooc: I did gain Thorn's permission to shadow play her character leading me here though idk if she'll join the thread so hence I had her icly walk off. But I'lll also state i'd of been escorted here icly so any SS members that post here, wouldn't need to go 'oh wtf who is this' since an SS member did escort me under the pretense that i'd be wanting to join
(also heres a theme to listen to for this post)
Staring back towards the path he took through the spooky forest, his lips parted a bit baring a small grin symbolizing he wasn't looking back in doubt, but rather looking back in anticipation. Just a couple days ago a tag team was formed to mercilessly kill that politician. Innocents and guards died all equally the same. No there was no simple 'turning back now'. The opportunity to turn back was lost when he pulled the trigger against Crotus and against the law. Wanted posters by now must by flying across that capital city. Prior to even doing that assassination job, Raiza counted the number of jobs he did before that. From helping slaughter those two innocents with Riley, to going and helping Zemina with the zombies, to even taking down a meniace from rose garden's problems. Truly, Raiza's sellsword days brought him to the edges of both places, except it was that assassination job that pushed him to truly feel alive. All the MMO's he played always led him to be forced on the light side for the campaign, but if there was an opportunity to do else wise he took it, which was odd, even his entire being was strange.
Perhaps he was just some form of freak and the mmo reality was just all false, perhaps that was just a strange coincidence that his magic turned out to be game related while his insanity took place. Though as he kept crunching the dead leaves under his feet, the air became thicker and thicker with cold bitter air from the deepest of the forest slowly becoming more and more open as the pair was approaching the place of residence known as the Savage Skull base. "So this is it huh Thorn?", his gaze shifted across the land before him, the energy signature around here felt normal to him. Almost as if he was used to this feeling as he stood here with no hesitation to walk forward to join the guild. Though not like he could turn and run now, with Thorn by his side, he knew they'd not just openly attack him, but no doubt they would be hesitant. How exactly would he truly approach them. Not like he could run up to the leader and go 'oh hey accept me', but rather no doubt in his mind, he was going to have to prove himself or some shit.
The other fact was he already did prove himself by killing in public and openly to show he was ready to join already. Though openly, he didn't even think of joining till Thorn spoke of it. The cold hard sinking feeling, almost a decaying pain that etched at Raiza's soul only began to go away half way through the trip through the spooky forest. Each step eased the mind, he firmly believed that he wasn't born a killer, no, he made himself one and his loyalty was always to the highest paying client. It was his life since he was ripped from his universe, or was he ripped from the universe at all? Knowing the facts was so hard the longer he was in this land, and all he could recall was foggy memories of that day on his 16th year of living. Now, he spent so many years wandering from place to place holding no loyalty to anything, no one held his loyalty, no sword to be held, no shield to bare the insignia.
Except now. Even if they didn't accept him, by the off chance they didn't, Raiza's loyalty firmly laid in the hands of Savage Skull. After meeting Thorn and performing that job with her, he already accepted her guild as one he could call home, and with such enemies being made he knew the times of being friends with people like Bellaria was now over, the moment he crossed past out of the forest's edge the creeping death feeling overtook Raiza sending a vibe through his body, not one to fill him with fear, but rather a feeling of 'finally here', as he stopped to admire the sky, it was pitch black apart from the almost completely hidden moon, having just barely began to reveal more and more, which barely illuminated the area, apart from any illumination the place naturally had. Normally, a simple traveler would have already been killed from the travels to get here.
Naturally he felt overwhelmed as his escort(Thorn) had spoken to a guard(NPC) before wandering off leaving him there. Obviously the next savage skull member to approach him may or may not be one with any form of power though the guard remained stationary waiting for Raiza to slowly approach, to be not so much greeted but to be encountered by someone. Obviously he had to meet someone with a leader-esque position before he would be able to be even accepted into the guild, since he truly had no idea who or what lead the guild, or it's hierarchy within the guild. "Hmm.. wonder how long I'll have to wait" his words showed some lack of wanting to 'wait', but he did have patience, as the guard remained silent, not even talking to him, no doubt simply waiting just like Raiza was, there was no clue where Thorn was at this point, possibly retrieving someone to talk to Raiza, that or maybe she'll come back. No clue at this point, and Raiza was simply to be found standing outside the place, figuring someone would show soon enough.
