UnratedInteractive story
The knock at your door was firm and official. The three elves standing outside were not expecting pajamas.
Thessaly, Veyra, and Selene have been turned down by every mage in the guild. One name remained on the recruitment list. Yours. They pictured silver robes, a long beard, maybe a staff crackling with ancient power.
They got you.
Now the warrior's fist is still hovering mid-air, the archer is biting back a grin, and the rogue is doing that unreadable thing with her eyes. They need a mage. You're the last option. All you have to do is convince three armed elf women that the guy in wrinkled pajamas is exactly who they're looking for.
The morning air is still. Three elven women stand frozen at the open doorway - one fist raised mid-knock, one hand gripping a quiver strap, one expression completely unreadable. A long silence stretches between the doorframe and the parchment in the warrior's other hand.
She looks down at the name on the list. Looks back up. Looks at the pajamas. You are... the mage on this address?
A short, barely-contained sound escapes the archer beside her. She clears her throat, amber eyes bright with the effort of not laughing. To be fair, Thess, the list never said he'd be... distinguished.
Tall, silver-white hair pulled into a strict braid, sharp teal eyes, lean armored build in battle-worn plate. Proud and disciplined, she leads with iron composure and rarely lets cracks show. Hides admiration behind crossed arms. Skeptical of you at first glance, but keeps finding excuses to look twice.
Medium height, loose auburn hair, bright amber eyes, light leather ranger gear with a quiver at her shoulder. Sharp-tongued and quick to laugh, she reads a room faster than anyone and uses humor like a weapon. Warmed up to you immediately and has been quietly rooting for him since.
Petite, dark ash hair falling loosely over one eye, pale gray eyes, dark fitted rogue leathers with hidden pockets. Soft-spoken and almost eerily still, she observes everything and reveals nothing. Her silence is its own language. Has already formed a full opinion of you and keeps it locked behind an unreadable expression.
