---

Reize Seatlan has posed:
Finally, it is Fluorgis, the air trade city.
The are businesses there that receives an influx of travelers. While simplistic in naure, the multi-leveled city has steep stairways with complex streams and rivers running like a waterfall.
It was blissful.
Shiki is currently asleep. That is good. She needed a good rest.
Reize decided to step out of the area to get a look around the town. Fluorgis looks very beautiful. It is good to be able to admire its surroundings.

Skoll Ulfang has posed:
Skoll has managed to find his way to Fluorgis after attaining the information that a boy of his description was apparently heading to Fluorgis... well... after a few times backtracking anyhow. It's a bit difficult to 'find' Reize with the way he travels. That is to say, the way he fails to travel. At least he knew from Ivo that he should be showing up at Fluorgis either way.

Still, when the wolfish and punkish young man sees Reize step out into town, he's relieved to finally have found his mark. He ends up walking down a long streets, moving past a few people that manage to get in his way, until he finally finds his way to Reize's side and then softly puts a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey kid!" Skoll calls out.

Reize Seatlan has posed:
When the wolfish person is starting to make his way towards Reize, the boy had been busy surveying the surroundings. Everything looked pretty nice and awe-inspiring to him.
So this is where everyone will try to make their mark in the world. They need to become an official group.
When he is touched upon the shoulder, his body tenses and he quickly turns to face the offending person. When it reveals to be Skoll, Reize blinks and he brightens to a smile. "Oh! Hey! Good to see you again!" Err....
...Did he ever get Skoll's name?

Skoll Ulfang has posed:
Skoll seems to read into the way Reize ends up looking at him as he speaks. "Skoll, Skoll Ulfang." The werewolf answers the youth, and then hands him a rather neat piece of paper. A contract of some sorts, with his name on it, and a neat signature. It's a beautifully written piece of paper, that basically says: 'I, Skoll Ulfang, hereby declare my desire to join and assist in founding the Shard Seekers'. It's that simple. Along with that, goes a small pouch of decent-denomination Gil.

"Figured you might like the help - and could use another adventurer on your side. I heard more about your lil' group from Ivo. I figured - you seem to run interesting lives... may as well see if I can help you guys out." He pauses for a moment, before pointing a thumb to his chest. "'been wandering the worlds for a while now, before you guys I think - and I think I can help you bunch get around where needed." A pause.

Skoll then pats one of his arms. "'sides, you could always use another skilled warrior and hunter - I am sure?"

Reize Seatlan has posed:
As Skoll introduces himself, finally, the boy brightens. "Oh! It's pleased to meet you, Skoll! I finally know your name now!" Reize looks over towards the piece of paper that's presented to him. Quirking an eyebrow, the boy starts reading through the document.
"OH!" The boy blinks, "So you heard about us?" He brightens, then he nods his head, "We're all supposed to be meeting here to get our group official. I know Ivo and Lily are supposed to be arriving soon." Reize notes. He runs a hand to the back of his head. "Hee."
As he presents his wealth of experience, Reize nods, "Of course! We would be glad to have more help, you know..." He considers, "Sometimes, not knowing what to do can be frustratng." He smiles, "But I suppose that's part of the fun."
He nods at Skoll, "Everyone is more than welcomed to join." A smile is given, "An adventure is what we strive for." He considers, "However, the group exists with a common goal: ...Recovering many of the lost worlds that were taken." He looks a bit sad.

Skoll Ulfang has posed:
Skoll glances past Reize for a moment, as if someone might be standing behind him, before glancing back to Reize. He nods his head. "Quite the excitable one, aren't you? But then, I guess I agree. Not knowing can be part of the fun. Though in some cases, it's what might get you killed." The punkish young man puts his hands to his hips and shifts his weight a little, looking down on the youth - physically so anyhow.

"But I do warn you Reize." His expression grows a bit more dire. "Some of the worlds that were lost, were not lost because of heartless. Some are completely destroyed. And others have been within the darkness for such a long time... that which is recovered - may never be the same again." Skoll pauses for a moment, then suddenly pats Reize's shoulder hard.

"ANYHOW! More fun matters! How about you and I celebrate this little meeting of likeminded people - and have us a drink?"

Reize Seatlan has posed:
"Perhaps so. However, that is the way that an adventurer lives!" The boy looks more confident, "My father lived that way and I will surpass him." He rubs against the back of his head. Then, he furrows his eyebrows.
Once the grim warning is given, Reize listens carefully with a frown. Some where destroyed and others may not be the same if recovered. Reize lowers his head, "...Some people are missing their homes. Many of them want to reunite with the people that are without their homes."
Reize's pendant emits a glow. It is a brief glow, but as the determined boy speaks, it resonates with his will.
"I will help my friends find their worlds."
But, when his shoulder is clamped on, the boy blinks, "A drink?" The young adventurer brightens, "Sure! That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all!"

Skoll Ulfang has posed:
Skoll's eyes find the shining amulet that Scar once had held such immense interest, and then glances up at Reize's little emotive hair, before looking into his eyes directly. "My home was destroyed. But it is beyond recovery." He explains. "It wasn't the heartless... and none of my home are around as far as I can tell. So I definitely understand your cause. Your desire to give the homes back to those who lost them - or their friends..."

Skoll then steps aside and tilts his head a little, and starts wandering off; "I heard about a nice bar nearby. A lot of quests end up being put on the board there too. And there was something about a bard Moogle that was apparently interesting there." Skoll introduces the area - as he's wandered it for quite a while by now. After all, he was here before Reize got here. Unless Reize, Skoll is good with maps.

// ONE HOUR LATER //

Skoll hiccups, his face flushed, and slams a big mug of beer down to the table - or rather, an empty mug that once contained beer. "So I asked him, What do you call a lost wolf? And he's all like - I dunno! And I said; A WHERE-WOLF!" After which the wolfman starts laughing exageratedly, apparently finding his own puns hilarious.

Reize Seatlan has posed:
There was great determination in helping his friends. But then, Skoll shares a story of his own: His world. The boy looks directly into the wolf's eyes, listening to the tale of his world. It is what causes him to frown. "Thank you... We will find their worlds."
When Skoll wanders off, Reize starts to follow him. "Oh? So they have quests up for people to do?" He quirks an eyebrow, "A bard Moogle? That sounds really interesting!" He brightens happily.

// ONE HOUR LATER //

It is surprising that they let the boy drink. It is not surprising, however, that Reize is drunk. His cheeks are redden and he hiccups. He looks over towards Skoll as he tells his joke. "Hahahhahahahaha!" The boy laughs along with the wolf man.
"That's funny! This stuff tastes odd, but I am feeling very light! Heeee!" He leans against the table, trying to figure out the next joke.

Skoll Ulfang has posed:
"Oh, you liked that one huh?" Skoll wavers a little, and then asks; "What did the wolf say when someone stepped on his foot?" He pauses for a moment for Reize to take a guess, before he suddenly raises his head and lets out a loud and low-pitched howl; "Aoooowwwwww!" Which ends up attracting the attention of some of those at the bar. Mostly, the bartender. "Okay you two, I am cutting you off." He calls out.

"You both had enough. And honestly, your jokes suck."

"Hey! My jokes do not *hiccup* suck!"

"..."

Skoll then slowly gets up, putting money down on the table, glancing Reize's way - hoping he hasn't fallen asleep, and then starts wobbling to the entrance in order to read the Quest board that hangs up there.

Reize Seatlan has posed:
His head presses against the table, trying to keep himself awake. However, he is a giggling mess right now. He listens to the end of the joke... and he quickly gets it.
Simultaneously with Skoll, Reize howls, "Aoooowwwwww!"
And of course, the grumpy bartender comes in.
With his cheeks flushed, the boy looks at the bartender pleadingly, "But.. but... " He lowers his head, "Aww...." He mutters, then he starts to stagger up to his feet.
Following Skoll, Reize grunts and he mutters, "Stupid man... who does he think he is..?" Then, he looks up at the sign, "What does it say? What does it say?"

Skoll Ulfang has posed:
Skoll squints at the words on the quest board, and then looks up at the barman, who is quick to comment; "Drunkards don't need to apply. Come back when you two are sober." After which Skoll kind of just nods his head. "Seems there's some 'evil tomatoes' attacking people, and are in need of being taken care of." Skoll mutters, before he starts snickering a little. "Eeeevil tomatoes, Reize... eeeevil tomatoes."

Skoll then wobbles to the side and shakes his head. "You know, I am gonna go and *hic* sober up. I will see you in a few days... I got some other stuff to take care of! You keep that money and contract... and sign me up okay?" And off he goes, out the door. And if Reize were to follow him - he'd notice that... well... Skoll is nowhere to be found.

Dark portals, such a good method of transportation.

Reize Seatlan has posed:
"Hehehe... Attacckk of the evil tomatoes..." Reize is nearly about to break into a song about evil tomatoes. However, when the bartender refers to the drunkards not apply, Reize narrows his eyes at the bartender, then he sticks his tongue and he gives a thbbpttt!
However, when he staggers around, Reize looks over at Skoll. "Oh! ---Okay! Will do!" He laughs, then he blinks, "Oh, wait... *hiccup*!" As he runs out of the door, he trips and falls on his face. "Ooof!" He grimaces, hiccuping.
He peels his head up, then he mutters to himself.
Looking around the left and then the right.
"...He's gone.."
He mutters for a moment, then he sighs, "...Weelll... time to go home to Shiki... heeee...." The boy staggers around, trying to make his way back to the inn.
