The Love Hotel Online: Open Beta || Aphro depends on situation

Dec 01, 2011 13:16

It didn't take long for the simple project to become a notorious one. A guild, little more than just a gathering of like minded players, soon turned into a properly large entity. An entity that reached into the various towns that this game had, and would undoubtedly spread as time continued. And while the guild had a proper name, there was a very ( Read more... )

A new recruit? orange_beats December 3 2011, 04:50:12 UTC

Jake, or as he was known in the world of the game, DJ Orange, was doing pretty well. He'd been gaining levels pretty quickly and having a lot of fun doing it. He''s heard about the Guild and had decided to check them out. When that led to an invite to join, he certainly wasn't about to turn it down. The group seemed like a good fit for him judging by what he heard.

His character looked mostly like himself in leather and chainmail. He'd even managed to find a pair of headphones to complete his look. Leaning against a wall, he waited. He'd been told he was going to meet the man in charge of the whole guild before he would join the group or not so he was being patient.

Fantasmic! chrgin_my_sword December 3 2011, 07:44:58 UTC

New members were good, though recruits had a tendency to leave shortly thereafter. They had a good way of going about that, keeping the meat and potatoes away from the whelps until they've taken the oath. Weed out the ones looking for instant gratification instead of the ones dedicated to work. Still didn't mean they couldn't have fun with the people that came a looking. And they often did.

King Crownless always met newcomers personally, and separately. So sometimes it did take a little while to get to each recruit. This time, however, he tried to be at least a little punctual about it, and soon enough he was there to greet his new talent.

"DJ Orange, huh? Sup."

orange_beats December 3 2011, 13:34:41 UTC

"The one and only, man," he greeted with a grin. Pushing off the wall, DJ Orange smoothed out his clothes and stood up a bit straighter. His grin got a little wider when he noticed the man's sunglasses. He liked when a leader had style.

"Not much right now. They said I'd get to meet with you before I sighed up. "

Anyone would tell you that the boss was big on the whole guild doing what it was always intended to do. It was kind of his thing and all. But that didn't mean that he couldn't have fun. Quite the contrary, actually.

He had to give this guy one thing. He had spunk.

"Yeah, that's how we do it around here. I meet with new blood, we do a little song and dance." He waved his hand dismissively. "Good times abound."

orange_beats December 3 2011, 19:53:26 UTC

"Hope its not a literal song and dance. I can lay down some phat beats and tear up the dance floor fierce but I can't say I'm much of a singer," he laughed. "Good times sound great to me. So what's do we do for this number?"

chrgin_my_sword December 5 2011, 00:56:09 UTC

"Well it was a figure of speech, but now I wanna see if you can actually out dance our dancers branch." Whether or not he was making that up, one would certainly never know. Although the thought of sticking him in typical Dancer garb (one of his few all female sub groups) didn't disappoint as far as hilarious mental imagery went.

"Well, here's the thing. You got three options, really. We don't do none of that twenty bear asses shit here, so if you're getting in, you're getting in deep. That whole "throw your kid into the deep end to teach him how to swim" mentality."

orange_beats December 5 2011, 02:57:44 UTC

"Dancers branch?" he's not quite sure he heard that right. "There's seriously a dancers branch here?"

He laughs. "That's how I learned to swim actually," he says. He's glad he doesn't have to hunt down any bears. The item farming annoys him sometimes. "So what're my options?"

chrgin_my_sword December 5 2011, 03:05:16 UTC

"Good question, save it for orientation." ...Wait, he was orientation. Oh well, roll with it.

"The first option is the same option I give every young buck to show up here. There's the door, get to stepping. Go find one of those guilds that'll coddle you or some shit. We're pretty damn strict and big on the tough love here, so if you're looking for something kind, then you missed the brothel two alleys back."

orange_beats December 5 2011, 03:15:43 UTC

"There's a brothel?" He glances over his shoulder and makes a note to check that out some other time.

"Well, option one kinda sucks. What're the other two?" he was good at rolling with it.

chrgin_my_sword December 5 2011, 03:21:11 UTC

"Yeah, it's kind of supposed to. You know, teach you a life lesson, blah blah blah, pretentious bullshit here and there." On average, all of two people out of any fifty ever took option one.

"The second option is we throw you one of our contracts. We expect it to be done to the letter, as even the slightest mistake reflects poorly on us."

orange_beats December 5 2011, 03:25:46 UTC

"Damn...someone actually took option one? What kinda fool passes up a sweet chance like this?" he shakes his head.

"Seems simple enough. Sounds like I could rock option two real easy," ever confident. "Gotta know though. What's option number three?"

chrgin_my_sword December 5 2011, 03:29:50 UTC

"Sweet chance. Aw, you're adorable." It really was a sweet deal, but it definitely came with some expectations. Did he think this guy was up for it? He'd long since stopped trying to eyeball recruits.

"Option three is the simple one. A test of endurance. Basically, myself and a few ranking members take turns putting you through your paces, and seeing how long you can keep it up."

orange_beats December 5 2011, 03:37:48 UTC

"Adorable?" he just smirks. "Well thanks. Not that bad lookin' yourself," he adds.

Eyebrows arch up as option three is explained. He tilts his head and nods a bit. "Option three's sounding like a good one to me. How're we gonna do it?"

chrgin_my_sword December 5 2011, 03:44:00 UTC

"Well aren't you charming. There's a use for that, oh yes there is." Again, dancer branch.

It was a good thing the mask he was wearing his the smirk, because it did not look like the kind of smirk most people would be happy to see. While option one was the least picked, option three was the most picked. And really, there was little reason for it to be. If you make one mistake, however small, during option two, you're shot.

At least in this case, it all depended on you. Not many lasted long, but those that did were set. There were other benefits to this way as well, though those would become clearer soon. He just had to get him to where he needed to be first.

"You'll see. But first, you're gonna have to follow me." And then, after a moment, he tossed him a mask of his own. Only this one had absolutely no eye pieces. "Also, you'll have to wear this. You're not one of us yet, so until you are, you're not allowed to see sweet fuck all."

orange_beats December 5 2011, 03:54:25 UTC

"Oh you know it," he flashes a grin.

He's hoping that his choice of option lets him see just what King Crownless and the other ranking members can do. Rumors are one thing but seeing it for himself is something he's interested in.

"Lead the way, man," he replies simply. The mask is caught easily and he looks it over. "So what, I follow you by sound?" he's a little confused but still putting the mask on.

chrgin_my_sword December 5 2011, 03:57:47 UTC

"You can if you want. Just be careful not to stumble into one of the training rooms. That happened last time, and well...very messy. VERY." And without waiting for a smart ass remark, he ponied up a length of rope from his inventory and planted one end of it into DJ's hand.

"Now we're set."
