"Huh..interesting.." They respond and look down at their hands, thinking to themselves for a bit and biting their lip. Maybe they could just, very discretely work their way up to asking if they could join 'The Order of the Wisteria'. It would be the ultimate way to pay Belladonna back for what she did for them-
"Brush it off, you'll be fine." "I'm covered in blood!" "Get used to it, luv. It's part of the job." (CLOSED) (MATURE)
Belladonna nods. "Yeah. I don't think I really started training until I was 9… It was after mom's accident if I remember correctly." She hummed and stretched a little bit. "It's a pretty crazy life. You don't even exist in the eyes of the government." She chuckles, "Which is why I need you to forget me when I leave, okay?"
She paused and glanced at Orion and sighed heavily. "It's… not all fun and games." She says quietly. "You can die and it's dangerous. Granted you have spunk in you. But… It's dangerous. Are you sure that you want to do this?" She glances at Orion. "You will never have a normal life the moment your step through the doors of the Order of the Wisteria." She pats the others hand.
She sighed deeply before nodding and smiling softly. "Alright… if you say so. I can take you in the morning…." She sighed deeply. "Are you sure you want to do this?" She asks quietly, dead serious. "This… isn't the easiest life. But if you want to you're more than welcome to train." She chuckles and leans back, assessing the other.
She nods slowly. "Alright then. We'll go in the morning. Pack only the essentials." She murmured quietly. "You'll go through orientation and training for a few weeks. Most of the time it's you learn on the job." She shrugged. "And then you get your weapon." Belladonna stretches. "Any questions?"
She nods a little bit before humming. "Well then. You should probably get some sleep then. I can give you tips when we leave in the morning. Remember. Pack only what you need. No more than a suitcase and a backpack." She says simply. "You'll be on the road a lot."
She glances at the other and smiles softly. "Hey, you don't have to if you don't want to." She says quietly. "Give it some thought tonight. Make sure to breathe and relax, okay? Think it through and I'll check on you in the morning." She stood and stretched. Belladonna didn't really have a choice, but she could easily offer it to others.
She nods and watches them carefully before nodding and nudging them gently. "Alright. Sleep well and take care of yourself, okay?" She says kindly, settling back onto the couch and slowly settled her head down for some sleep.
"Ok" they smile and watch her for a few seconds before walking towards the stairs and up to their room, opening the door and just looking around. Only like, one or two hours ago they were cowering under their bed hiding from that beast. They purse their lips and walk into the room, sitting on their bed. They don't want something like that to happen to anyone else..they were definitely going with Belladonna tomorrow, definitely.
(Time skip?)
(You're all good lol. Do we want to skip to when they arrive to the Order of the Wisteria, or during the car ride?)
(Sounds good! Anything specific, or just questions and answers to give background on the Order or?)
(Sounds good!)
Belladonna hummed as she glances around the house one last time. Last night had certainly been interesting. She glances over at Orion. "You ready to go?" She asks cheerfully as she slings her katana over her shoulder. She looked rather relaxed, keys in hand. She had already changed, but she was wearing her usual jacket.
Belladonna smiles warmly at Orion. "Alrighty then! Here, I'll take your stuff." She gently grabs the bags and places them in the back of the car, letting Orion decide what to do with their back pack. "Go ahead and get comfortable." She hummed quietly after making sure everything was secured before walking to the drivers seat and settling in. "It's about a 4 hour drive from here back to one of the bases." She hummed. "But we need to get you to HQ."
"Alright" the nod and smile, opening the passengers seat door and getting in,closing the door and holding their backpack in their lap. They were a bit excited, but obviously very nervous- they glance at Belladonna and smile at her, before looking away and buckling themselves up
She buckles up as well before she starts the car and hums quietly in content. "Alright. Time to go then." She pulls out onto the street and onto the road. "You should probably rest, or at least make sure that you're prepared. The Order of Wisteria is no joke."
She nods and smiles softly. "Alright then." She hummed along with the radio, her eyes scanning the road a little bit as she did so. She sighed deeply. "So… what do you want to know?" She asks curiously.
She hummed at that, a small smile on her lips. "The Order of Wisteria started centuries ago. Wherever demons and creatures of the night went, the Order of Wisteria followed. Some family lines can actually trace back to the founders. Usually those families receive a tattoo of a wisteria marking their bloodline." She leans back in her chair slightly, "Of course, the Order of Wisteria always keeps an eye out for recruits and people that might want to join. Those who have lost their families, or witnessed something of the sort usually join the most. Our ranks are all over the world."
