The Temple of Artemis(Pre-Event/Intro Thread)

[Dave Strider]

Ryner nodded along to the assassin, who began trying to recruit him into an Institute of some sort. The way it was set up kinda reminded him of Sion, at least before he... well that didn't matter now. It also seemed as if the assassin's words were directly precisely towards his position, was it that obvious that he was new around these parts. Looking around, he seemed to fit in pretty well with all of these, well completely random and differentiating people. Was that a child over there? Ryner shook away all the distracting thoughts as he replied to the recruiting assassin.

"Yeah... I am actually pretty new here. I didn't even make it past the place that was white everywhere before I got pulled in here too. That reminds me, you guys didn't happen to see some guy in some white knight armor did you? He.. um.. exploded into confetti or something when I was being pulled here."

The Alpha Stigma gave a slightly worried look before continuing.

"As for the Institute, I guess I could give it a shot. There might be um... issues with me being a diplomat, I would rather not talk about it, but I am an adept researcher, and I know all sorts of magic. Or at least, I did before I my memory of them got fuzzy. What is up with our abilities here? Are we all working together?" He scratched the back of his head as he looked around at the others.

In secret, Ryner hoped that he was stripped of his inner demon, reaching for a light he had never seen for a long time. Maybe here he wouldn't be a monster. Maybe he wouldn't have to take another life.
