First Whip

[flamingbronco]

Huh? Where am I?

This isn't my mansion. And this definitely isn't my bedroom either, since I don't remember needing more than one bed, or it being this small.

I can't get this odd watch thing off either, no matter how hard I pull- Ow!  Did it just...shock me?

This-This isn't Italy at all, is it?

Another person! Sure have been a lot for the past week...

I haven't been here too long, but - wait... Where's Italy?

[flamingbronco]

[And Dino meets yet another person! He really feels better know he's not the only one stuck here.]

I take it people don't usually show up very often around here?

[A bit of a smile crossed his face as he thought of his home.]

It's a peninsula shaped like a boot. It's in between Africa and Asia and south from England.

[All these thoughts about his home was making him hungry. Perhaps maybe later on he's head down to wherever the kitchen was to see what was available.]

[karyuu_no_saiga]

Oh! I think Lily was saying stuff about England. I dunno these places since I'm not from that world I guess.

[Natsu lets out a nice string of laughter at that.]

I've only been here for maybe a week. And there were zombies that were around when I was!

[flamingbronco]

[Well that was new for him to experience. First video games and now other worlds.]

You're from another world? What is it like?

[So far, Dino had been taking things in stride. People coming out of video games? Sure. People being from other planes and worlds? Confusing, but sure. But zombies? He could not fully wrap his mind around. Funny how the mind works.]

Zombies? Why were there zombies?

['Where did they even come from?' he wondered.]

[karyuu_no_saiga]

I dunno. The zombies were here when I got here. I guess they'd been in the House for a while. Some people even died! But they're fine now!

Ah... I'm from the continent of Fiore, and my guild is in the town of Magnolia. People where I'm from use magic! At least mages like me do. mages start guilds and take on missions and get paid money. It's kinda like a family!

[flamingbronco]

[Zombies that killed people who then came back to life? This house continued to get even more bizarre to Dino.]

I see. Well it's good to know that they're alright now.

Dino smiled faintly at the word 'family'. That word was all too familiar to him, with the lifestyle he was involved in.

Ah, so you're a kind of mercenary then?

Mercenary being the closest thing in his mind to fit that description.

[karyuu_no_saiga]

I guess you might say that, though there ARE mercenaries besides mages. Not everyone has the same type of magic either.

[flamingbronco]

Ah, I understand. Well, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of missions does your group do?

[Hearing about the other kinds of magic was sort of interesting, in it's own way. He couldn't help but ask about it a little.]

What kinds of magic are there?

[karyuu_no_saiga]

It can be pretty much anything from getting a cat out of a tree, a fashion contest, to defeating monsters. Once Lucy and I had to get a book back from this mansion. It was kinda too easy...

Oh oh! All sorts! Lucy uses stellar spirits. Gray has ice magic. Mira-Jane can transform... Happy has wings. And I am a dragon slayer mage!

[flamingbronco]

So, you all will basically do anything asked of you? That has to have it's perks, besides getting paid of course.

[Though he'd met his fair share of different people due to what he was, Dino was honestly interested. He never realized how different people could be. ]

Well that seems useful. And you're a dragon slayer mage? What kind of magic can you do then?
