"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 walked the halls confidently, a small smile on her lips as she did so. Many of the people within the halls all had visible wisteria tattoos, only a few had them hidden because of their clothing. This had been Belladonna's life since she was born. She had grown up within the Order of the Wisteria. She made sure that Orion was always at her side, since it was rather easy to get lost.
She offered a gentle smile to Orion when they stopped in front of a door marked with a rose and knocked. The door was still for a moment before a man answered the door. His hair was a raven's black, wove into a loose braid down his back. A mask covered the bottom half of his face and his eyes were a lime green. "Well well. Welcome back Belladonna. It seems you brought a friend with you. Are they one of us?" Belladonna shook her head. "No, but they soon will be. Think you can take them under your wing like you did me?" She tilts her head a bit.
The man's eyes soften and he nods. "Of course. Bring them in." He opens the door and guides them into a rather nice looking office. It was stocked with books, a desk neatly settled in the middle of the room. Weapons of all sorts settled on the wall opposite of the book cases. "Make yourself comfortable." He waved to a few comfortable looking chairs. "Tea?"
The man nods and smiles a bit before wandering to a little hidden crook and returned with two steaming cups of tea. "Belladonna was never a fan of my tea." There was a bit of a smile in the eyes. Belladonna chuckled, "I like the sweeter teas." She said simply as she settled down in the chair beside Orion. The man nods. "Of course. Ah, my name is Clover." He says, handing Orion the drink before settling at his desk.
"Just Clover is fine." Clover raised his hand kindly, however he did not remove his mask to sip at his tea. "It's been a while, Belladonna. However, we will catch up later. Orion. Why did you chose to join the Order of the Wisteria?" He asks quietly, his full attention on Orion.
He nods in thought, "No one should go through what you have… May I ask what happened?" He folds his hands on his desk. Belladonna settles into her chair and leans back in the chair.
Orion shivers a little and sips their tea since it was cool enough, sighing quietly and watching the tea cup for a bit. "..mm..my family got killed, and since I had noowhere else to stay I had to stay in the same house that they got killed in. Then the thing that killed them came back to finish the job and kill me"
He nods at the others words, "I apologize for what you've been through. It's an experience that you would never wish on someone, not even your worst enemy…" He glances at Belladonna, and she had a guilty look over her expression. He could practically read her mind. If only I had been there sooner.
Clover nods. "Some of us are raised in this life. Others find it and don't want to turn back. Some join this life to become rich. And there are those, such as you, who don't wish anyone to experience what you have gone through. Very well. I'll take you under my wing, Orion."
Clover nods and glances at Belladonna. "Alright, Donna. You're dismissed." She nods and stands slowly. "Good luck. I'll be seeing you around." She winks and exits the room quietly.
Clover watches her go and shakes his head, a small chuckle leaving his lips. "She's an interesting soul. Now. You'll have to go over some papers, and we'll start training in the morning. You'll also recieve a handbook with known information on the creatures."
He nods, "We'll get you set up with a room tonight, as well as clothes to change into. Training starts at 9am. Once you've reached a certain level in training, you will chose a weapon to use in the field. Then, once you pass coronation, you are given the Wisteria mark. Of course, it's completely a choice."
(Shall we time skip?)
(Hey, hey. No worries! Hm, when should we skip to?)
(Sounds good! Would you like to start?)
