 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx↪ Theme: A romantic ocean! How I do love the sunset.And onward, she continued.
Throughout the day she'd stop here or there. Asking questions. Seeing if people knew what was really going on. Figuring out what that huge sun thing was. From her understanding, the sun was from the King of this kingdom. Apparently he held the power to make such. . strange beings. "Hm. ." Perhaps there was more to him than she initially thought. Now she really had to go out her way to find the guy. After getting a bite to eat, GoGo hurried along til she heard a man in the street giving out what looked to be flyers. What was this all about?
"Extra! Extra! King says he's pay anyone willin' to help with reconstruction of the Kin'dom! Mov' on along to the castle if you're interested!"
Ha! That was her ticket in. Grabbing one of the pieces of paper, she read it on over before heading along on her way. Her strides long as she hefted with clacking heels until she eventually reached her destination. A large castle in the middle of the land. Grandoise looking indeed. Taking a moment more to marvel, GoGo stepped forward past the guards, giving a light wiggle of the fingers and a wink, in which they swooned to of course. Long as they paid no mind to the blade on her side, cause negotiations didn't go as smoothly as she hoped.
Standing wait, she'd eventually get to the front of the line and speak to a representative.
"Name?"
"GoGo."
". . Pardon?"
"Go. Go."
". . . Occupation."
"Singer. Dancer. Lover. World changer."
"Ma'am, we our policy on brothel work is very low. We're looking for official work here."
"My sincerest apologies. I'm a pirate well worth over eighty million beli and I've come to speak to your King about a possible arrangement."
"Ma'am, we're not here to play games. If you want to help, then pleas-"
As the woman finally finished speaking, she'd realize the room as suddenly cold and getting much colder. Rubbing her arms, she'd look about to see GoGo standing, her eyes flared with a cerulean backtone. "Listen. . My nerves haven't been the best lately. I do not wish to hurt anyone. Just want some cordial conversation with your King. If you could talk to someone for me, I'd certainly appreciate it."
And to the messenger then to the lord, was the beckoning call of a woman ready to risk it all.

 Ever since the announcement that the king would be hiring people of ability, Maximilian received several notifications of people claiming to have the ability to do great things for Lorencia. Even though it was something announced just hours ago, the candidates numbered the hundreds. As such, he cancelled the public meetings with the population for the next few days. Everyday he would listen to requests and complaints of the people who wished to receive the assistance of the king in these turbulent times but, with the change of plans for Lorencia, he would have his hands full with the interviews.
Since it was clear that the letter he was going to write to a certain organization outside of Lorencia would not be finished so soon, he chose to get started with the interviews. "Marin, change of plans. We will start the interviews right now. We're going to the throne room right now so have the candidates enter along with the representatives of the citizens." he gave instructions to his advisor and assistant, Marin Viridis. She was the daughter of the previous advisor who died in a rebellion seven years ago. Ever since she finished her studies outside of Lorencia, she decided to help her homeland with everything she had to offer.
Upon receiving her orders, Marin hurried to the room where the candidates were gathered to after their initial registration. Everyone had informed things such as name, occupation and the kind of ability they had that could be used for the good of the country. Since more arrived every few minutes, the hall would soon be crowded but, fortunately, Maximilian would be filtering them soon enough. "Alright everyone. Our king Maximilian Regis I will begin the interviews right away. You were given numbers so go ahead into the throne room and approach as you are called." she gave them basic instructions and guided them to the throne room.
Some time later, while the interviews were still going on, Marin noticed an anomaly. The temperature dropped drastically at the room where they were registering the candidates before sending them over to the waiting room. The girl quickly reacted to the disturbance and rushed into the reception. What she found there was a woman clad in a very exotic outfit in the opinion of someone born and raised in Lorencia. Marin walked in while the woman said that she wanted a cordial conversation with their king. As someone who could read the mood and was good at handling troublemakers, the advisor stepped in. "Excuse me." she interrupted them, causing the receptionist to stutter. "L-Lady Marin?! This-" she was not allowed to go on though. "I'm the king's advisor, Marin Viridis. Is this your doing?" she would introduce herself first before asking about the sudden cold temperature in the room, enough to make some candidates behind her shiver as they were lightly dressed.
In the meantime, Maximilian was rather disappointed at the candidates who showed up. Although a few of them had adequate skills, there was nothing outstanding or unique, nothing that could be used for the improvement of a nation. He started having doubts about this plan of his but, considering that it was just the first day of interviews and he had not even talked to thirty candidates, there was some hope left. That was why he could persevere and continue with the interviews. As he sat on the throne, with Sol to his left in the form of a small bright sphere and Tormenta to his right in the form of a small white cloud, he listened to the next candidate. A man from Devias. He was a blacksmith whose specialty lied in the construction of traps and cages. He was the first useful one in Maximilian's opinion. Apparently he had many ideas to improve the recently damaged prison of Lorencia. And, if he was as capable as he claimed to be, there was the possibility of him being able to do much more than just that. Maybe he could assist in the development of new cells capable of holding ability users like Hark and his daughter. But that was a talk for another time. He would have to prove himself first.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx↪ Theme: A romantic ocean! How I do love the sunset."Excuse me."
An eye shifted from her current position as GoGo swayed. Long tresses of indigo blanketed her backside with the sudden change while a heel clacked from the drift from place to place. Ho? Someone was asking for her attention, apparently.
"I'm the king's advisor, Marin Viridis. Is this your doing?"
Great. That meant she didn't have to deal with the average riff raff anymore. Smiling, GoGo gave a slight wave before introducing herself. "It is indeed. My apologies though. I was beginning to get a little irate. Your worker here called me a brothel worker and you can guess why that'd set any self respecting woman off the edge." Course, it wasn't like she didn't look the part. GoGo's current attire was skin tight, black, shades with heels that only a more expressive woman would wear. Across her back was a long brandished katana and on her person several other weapons. Clearly she wasn't trying to hide herself in any way, shape or form.
"I'm looking to speak with your King. Apparently he's looking for allies to strengthen his kingdom and I have a proposition for him. The names Gyui Go." Awaiting a response, she'd lessen the frosted aura so the air was much more bearable once again.

At the words of the woman clad in foreign clothing, Marin couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows and send a look at the receptionist that would have certainly meant severe punishment was due of the times were not so difficult and the kingdom was not so understaffed. "I would like to apologize in the name of my colleague." she replied before addressing to the statement where the woman made it clear that she was there to meet with the king and introduced herself as Gyui Go. "His Majesty is currently interviewing a group of candidates like this one. You would be sent to the throne room once those were over but, as an apology, I'll let you join-" as she was talking to the woman, the doors to the throne room were opened. From where they were, in the registration room, it was possible to see into the waiting room as the doors were also open. Consequently, everyone could see as the doors leading to the room where the king waited were opened.
"The next group may enter!" was announced by a soldier who hurried into the waiting room. "I'll make sure you're the first to be heard." Marin corrected herself since her plan to let the woman join the previous group before the interviews were over went down the drain.
Those in the waiting room would be led by Marin into the throne room. Walking beyond the two large doors, they would find themselves in a grand room, with plenty of space for the fifty candidates that were given numbers, Gyui Go and Marin. Like the rest of the castle, the floor was made of cobblestone and the decorations were rather modest in comparison to what one would expect from the abode of royalty. However, they would notice that in addition to there being no works of art or valuables decorating the room where it was possible to meet with the king, there were no guards either, except for the one who opened the doors to announce the next group. He was also the one who opened the doors allowing the candidates to leave the throne room through the side in order to avoid crowding the castle's main entrance. Only the king, Maximilian Regis, could be seen on the throne, with Sol and Tormenta still in their harmless forms beside him.
The people in the presence of the king would usually kneel, however, Marin was the only one to do so as she served him. The rest would not be forced to follow the same protocol as that was an urgent meeting. "My king, I would like to apologize for my insolence and ask that your Majesty hears this one first." she stated her intentions without directing her gaze at Maximilian. The people, who received numbers from 101 to 150, started to murmur as some of them knew Marin as a noble and were seeing her kneel for the first time. However, they went silent as Maximilian spoke up. "That's unusual of you, Marin, to vouch for someone like that. Very well, we shall listen to her, raise your head Marin." he directed his words at his comrade and friend before turning his gaze to the foreigner. "You may speak." he said to Gyui Go and waited for what she had to say.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx↪ Theme: A romantic ocean! How I do love the sunset.Usually GoGo wasn't one to hold a grudge, but something inside her wanted to freeze the woman over. While she wasn't per say, wrong. The way she did introduce herself might've came off that she was a little looser than she appeared, but that was only for the ensemble. It was so if someone looked to her, they understood she wasn't someone to trifle with, but as of late her demeanor when dealing with people had been much, MUCH, nicer than before. If she was still with Galand or Goldi, this woman would've been frozen to the bone. But, war wasn't on the mind. At least, not yet. Not unless this so called King made her angry,
Marine, however, was a sweet and kind woman! Brazenly smiling, the lockes of indigo fell in unison with her head as GoGo bowed out of respect. At least someone knew how to treat guests. "Thank you so much Lady Marin! I definitely appreciate it." Finally, the recognition she deserved. Moving past the others in the room as they gave ample stares, Gyui scanned the people who'd gathered him. There weren't that many, given this was a Kingom and it seemed the land of Lorencia was on much rougher times than she first thought. Thinking back to all the islands they'd left asunder, those people could probably use a home. Lorencia might be the perfect place for them.
Given they weren't so hung up about her destroying their homes in the first place.
From destroyer to savior. If she got the people on her side then undoubtedly GoGo would be able to build a small following herself. Perhaps a crew to take back home to Goldi-sama and Galand. Nodding to this ideal as she stepped forward, her eyes laid on the man everyone here called King. Standing in place with arms under the bust, cerulean hues arched to look him over. The usual regal appearance. Handsome enough. And then, that's when her sights landed on the two figures floating next to him. "Hai! It's Mr. Sun! Fancy seeing you here." Giving the being a polite wave, she'd finally give Regis her undivided attention. An almost catlike grin spread as she stood. "Salutations, King of Lorencia. I am Gyui Go, Pirate worth nearly 100 Million Beli, and emissary to the ones who will soon change this world. I have come here to offer you something." Turning slowly to look over the faces in the room, she'd continue. "These people, while they are here to help you, aren't going to stop anymore war that is to come. I'm sure you can understand the powers that be are much stronger than you would think and so, a deal. My comrades and I will aid you in strengthening your kingdom. In exchange, we see sanctum and the same kind of treatment. If we are in need of you, then we expect you to follow suit."
Course, these were negotiations and a high bounty didn't exactly equate to being strong. However, the world knew of her deeds now and they were nothing small. "All of Paradise's first island was reduced to nothing. My colleagues and I did that. There is no argument in our strength. To refuse our offer, Mr. King, would probably be your most foolish decision. I am open to anything you might want to add or take away from this treaty." And so, she waited silently. But, when she saw Luna in the crowd she gave a light twiddle of her fingers. Always good to see a familiar face after all.

Marin stood up as Maximilian allowed her to, and moved out of the way as to allow the foreigner to speak directly to the king once he made it clear that he would listen to her. Her figure was usually composed but she was now slightly nervous as she expected this woman, who had a supernatural ability like her king, to be of use. Even so, she did not let such nervousness be transmitted to the surroundings. She kept a poker face as she moved to the side and watched the woman who introduced herself as Gyui Go spoke. Having bowed to her in respect before, she expected the woman to be just as respectful towards the king of Lorencia. She could not help but feel surprised though, when the woman greeted Sol by calling him as Mr. Sun. At the same time, the storm cloud sent a glance at him, who simply smiled back at the foreigner, recognizing her from their previous meeting. Sol did not, however, speak up as he knew that was not a place for a friendly gathering.
As the woman continued, Maximilian watched every movement of hers and made sure to not miss a single word she said. Gyui Go claimed to be a pirate worth nearly a hundred million beli and also an emissary to the ones who will soon change this world. A rather bold statement. Should this be any other kingdom, her arrest could have been certain. Fortunately, it was no ordinary kingdom. Lorencia was not aligned to the scum known as World Government. Therefore, Maximilian had no obligation to inform the "authorities". In fact, he would be glad that she existed and brought pain to the Marine and the World Government. But there was more to it apparently. She talked about a war that is to come and said that those around her, the candidates, would not be able to stop it. Once she mentioned the greater powers, he could indeed have an idea of what she meant. There was no way that common people, even if talented, would be able to stop the conflicts of major powers. They were not gathered there with such purposes after all. Instead, they were there simply to assist in the restoration of Lorencia. Dealing with the foreign forces that showed hostility towards his weakened kingdom was a responsibility he took upon himself as king and pirate. Her offer, however, would lessen his burden and allow him to focus more on the restoration of the country.
An alliance, was what it was. Something that Maximilian found most pleasing, he would not mind providing a save haven for her comrades. In fact, he would be delighted if more people sought Lorencia and chose to live there, even if only temporarily. However, her choice of words when she decided to talk about the prowess of her group were not the kind a king would accept without replying in kind. "Interesting, this offer of yours. However, you should learn not to make light of us. We rule the shadow of once a glorious land indeed. But we are not powerless." he would reply while the same sun she saw before, and knew was capable of inflicting severe burns to someone, would be held into his right hand, as if it was just an orange bright sphere and the flames were a lie. "We accept your offer. And, as a proof of good will, won't you share your soul with us?" he would then finish by testing her and how far she was willing to go for this alliance. Maximilian obviously did not say that he wanted her whole soul. A single month of her lifespan would be enough for him to make something. And he would obviously compensate her adequately.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx↪ Theme: A romantic ocean! How I do love the sunset. "Interesting, this offer of yours. However, you should learn not to make light of us. We rule the shadow of once a glorious land indeed. But we are not powerless."
Her eyes narrowed at those words. Almost in a fashion that spoke a smile, though her lips said otherwise as she remained stagnant. GoGo wasn't a fool. She could see this place wasn't in the best of condition and even with this King doing his best, it wasn't enough. Anyone with half a brain could see that honestly. Still, she said little to the remark, only watching in abundant amusement to what he wanted. There were no words at first, only a plain face stare that slowly shifted into a smile that matched her eyes. This Maximillion fellow. . Perhaps he wasn't too much of a negotiator.
"Sadly I decline. My soul is for one person and one person only. Giving even a small piece of it away would be a disrespect to her. As her blade, I'd rather die." Saying this openly, her hues seemed to be fixated in a more prey vs predator manner. There were a few things she understood about this situation. One, even if this man was powerful, he was only one and one man was not enough to protect this place. Two, she'd openly told who she was as both a sign of assurance that she held little fear about this place and a threat. She wanted him to know who he was dealing with and she wanted him to understand just how strong her words held.
"However, I will offer this as a counter. When I find her and bring her here, if she allows this I'll be fine with the offer. Think of it as an IOU, dear. Is that alright?" She wasn't being hopeful to an agreement, but the choices he had were limited indeed. It was best he take what he could without more pressure being applied.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx↪ Theme: A romantic ocean! How I do love the sunset.The answer would be lost in translation.
GoGo stared to the man as she waited, but an interjection from a familiar voice caught her attention. A slow shift with a widened eye as Luna decided to wanted to express herself here of all places. Maybe the girl was rare to situations like these, but that didn't matter. Gyui had things to do and little time to waste. "I'll leave those final words for you, Mr. King. I'll be back in a few weeks to have my friends see if they want to toss this Kingdom further aide. In that time, I'm sure you'll have this place looking as good as new." With a slight bow, she'd shift on her heels to head out the door, stopping momentarily to look Luna over with a slight smile. She was so headstrong. How would that fare in the future for the world?
"I can't say how you feel is right or wrong, but there's a time and place for everything. Remember that." Ushering those words after, Gogo made her exit to the streets. It was time to move on.
