Video; un: warder

[ The video begins with what's probably a familiar sight for a lot of Restless: the notice board in the harbor. A breeze causes the notices to flutter and in response, a hand reaches from behind the camera to press against one near the edge of the board, making sure it doesn't go anywhere. ]

--there.

[ Once the wind dies down the hand withdraws and the camera turns with it, held at arm's length to reveal a young looking man with dark hair...and bunny ears. He gives the lens a big smile! ]

Good day! To those I've yet to meet, I am Cedrik Reede, an adventurer. If you'll indulge me, I'd like to share with you all a project I've been working on.

[ The camera turns again, showing the road ahead as Cedrik walks past the board, heading for a building nearby. It's close enough that not even a minute has passed before he tuns down a stairwell built into an alley, leading to a door.

There's a sign painted above the mantle and a square of parchment nailed to the front, all painted with large, easily readable letters...if you know Eorzean script. Thankfully, Cedrik reads it out for the benefit of those who can't.

For the sign on the top: ]


"Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild."

[ And the notice on the door: ]

"Rule one, joining is optional.
Rule two, members add their names to the ledger.
Rule three, do not give cause to make more rules."

[ With that he pushes open the door, revealing a dimly lit but clean room, set up to serve as a bar. The furniture is all piecemeal, scavenged from around the harbor and beyond, but it's clean and sturdy...at least for now. There are even a selection of bottles on the shelves and, resting on the bar top, an open book with quill and ink.

After sweeping the camera around to show off the little space, he focuses on the book and reaches for it. Taking the quill, he dips it and writes his name at the top of the first blank page. Finally he turns the camera back on himself, his smile having turned into something deeply proud. ]


Some of you I've spoken to before about this and I must apologize for taking so long to get everything together. I pray you still have an interest in joining. Of course, all are welcome! It is my hope to see your names alongside my own in the near future.

[ He presses his hand to his chest and dips his head forward in a bow before ending the broadcast. ]


(OOC: More details to be found here! The Adventurers' Guild is officially open!)

[don't catfish the youths like that it ain't fair]

It's way too much leeway and you know it. You're practically begging to be exploited.

Yes. I'm surprised you remembered me.

Even good intentions go awry. Don't underestimate the power of stupidity.

Why would I be angry with you?You wasted all that effort saving me when you could have gotten away alone so easily. I just didn't want to be a pest.

It's good you didn't die. I wasn't sure.

[is it tsundere or is she just a rude ass

It's a mystery]


I know a lot of people who'd disagree.

Did you catch up to that thing?

[Thinks of Hagakure and Asahina....]

I won't argue with that.

That's still very admirable of you. There's plenty of people who'd rush to save their own skins and leave everyone else to bleed.

I know that. It's unfortunate but there are some circumstances where it can't be helped.

Still, I think it was good of you to try helping. I was speaking more about those who wouldn't care at all.
