Hey, We’re Opening This Door!

Let’s absolutely get the first and most important part out of the way: Three was the magical number of Luminous Rose. Those who disagree are absolutely ignoring the evidence that was before them. At this point, it’s empirical; things coming in threes are very numerically superior, and there’s probably something about triplicate magic being very important. You know, power of three or whatever. And, sure, roses typically had five petals, but we also don’t have quintuplets or whatever running around here. Take the three metaphors, and run with it. We’re using it and that’s final.

So, Lyra knew that by the sheer fact that the grand hall had a number of voices outside it that there were newcomers to the guild turning up. Well, there was this thing I guess, when it was kind of easy for a Slayer to hear things. Three voices, very loud outside the door to the grand hall, were something you didn’t just miss. And, as the new kid (or one of them), it ended up being that the newbies tended to be around the place. Besides, brand new C-rank mage coming through and all. This was a good day to be alive.

Needless to say, the first thing the Erynel sisters were met with behind the opening doors of the Grand Hall of Legends was the pink-haired girl in red jacket and tie, looking at them very expectantly.

”Hi! Welcome to the Grand Hall of Luminous Rose! What can we do for you today?”


The voice was bounding and vibrant, full of life and energy; Lyra was always actually very happy for new people to turn up for the sheer fact it meant new friends.

Can we force the newbies to be friends?

No, Lyra, you can not. You cannot and will not force people to be your friends. The voice in Lyra’s head was exceptionally specific on that point.

Boo. Fun police.

Regardless, Lyra stepped back to allow the sisters entry into the Hall, so that they could see its golden splendour for themselves. Statues of the greatest members of the Rose lined the hall, so that all could see them in their mighty glory. Would they all be up there one day? Well, if you were here, you certainly wanted to be. Time would tell.

Hey, We’re Opening This Door!

Whoooo. That was one hell of an introduction. And an absolute lot to take in, which was sufficient to rock Lyra. She was normally so good with people, but wow, they were very up-front and in your face about who they were. Well, it wasn't like that was a bad thing at all, however... The way they interacted was certainly different. That was a choice word for it, all things considered. It was certainly written on her face with an awkward smile that she wasn't entirely sure how to handle this.

Well. No point complaining about it, considering the situation. It was nice to just have some new faces around the place.

"Well, I can say the food here is definitely very good," Lyra finally had the ability to say when it was probably the most normal thing they'd said other than their names. Which, for the sake of being polite, she was going to try and at least do a good job.

"It's nice to meet you, Talia, Mei and Astraia. I'm Lyra. I'm new here too!"

Standing back from them, Lyra swept her arm through the grand hall, indicating everything that was before them. It was... a lot of gold to take in.

"So, I guess we should start walking around until we can call the guild master," the pink-haired girl offered helpfully. "You'll like her. She's very nice. Everyone here is, honestly, but that's one of the perks of being one of the best guilds. I guess I should ask if you had any questions before she comes?"

These kids certainly seemed like they kenw how to have fun. The fact that they could launch into a food-related tangent with little to no consideration for the people around them was amusing at least and hilarious at best. It was heartwarming to watch, if truth be told. There was a certain strength to having the entire family in the guild for a few reasons, all of which was for their benefit; to be able to learn, nurture and grow as a single unit provided a strength that a single person could not provide on their own. The Faulkners were already proof of that. Another three-person unit would simply serve to bring strength to the guild.

However, to broach the subject of Sakura, Lyra actually had to pause and give thought. There was a certain level of memorisation of fellow members that a new member of the guild was expected to undergo, and also a certain level of idol secrecy that was expected to be maintained. While, yes, these were potential candidates for the guild and once they were actual members the secret would inevitably be out, what was to say that everyone who turned up at the front door would be honest about their intentions to the guild whilst they truly only sought to get closer to those with fame? There was definitely a tightrope to be walked here, but on the other hand, some of these were kids. Not too dissimilar to her own mentors, who were of varying ages and levels of fame themselves, it was a situation where one had to choose their words incredibly carefully in order to ensure that things went okay. In this instance, Lyra was going to have to do a lot of soul-searching in order to answer that particular question - but all things considered, she was getting a fairly good read on all of them and, frankly, it wouldn't hurt this one time. It would in future be an issue brought directly to Desiree, because this would inevitably come up again and again and again. Fame was such a fickle thing that it brought with it the necessity of protecting the identity of others.

"She is," Lyra said with a wink, "but don't tell her it was me that told you. You'll all get a chance to meet her at some point, I'm sure."

A deep breath out. Lyra was entirely glad to change the subject to something else and distract them from that line of questioning.

"As far as purpose goes? Our mission is threefold - strength through knowledge, goodness through kindness, and unity through family. We are proud of our mission statement! It's very simple. As members we're expected to push our limits and improve, to show benevolence and charity to the world, and show solidarity with one another when times are tough. I guarantee you every single person here will drop whatever they're doing for you if you just ask."
