The day has finally come~
You're ready to board the grand City. Not many people do this, you know. As you'd enter the spectacular, you'd probably feel it- An odd feeling under your feet. As if gravity itself is repelling you, yet dragging you towards it at the same time. Everyone feels it, but soon becomes adjusted to it. Another odd thing you might notice may be the excessive amount of signs, forbidding you to enter various buildings around the entrance. No, they were more like small sheds if anything, locked so tight, that it seemed impossible to enter. What... Was in them? Bah, that's not important, huh? Your new life is before you! Explore! Run wild! But remember, kids, don't violate the rules!

She was a traveler of sorts, had been for some time now, she boarded simply to see the sights and stay for a bit, and then get back to the mainland once she got disinterested. Wanderlust as they say. It was then time to board the floating city...

With wide grin, The "Elf" stepped off of the airship that brought her there, onto the city, and through the main gates, she was dawning a black cloak, with the hood down of course, glancing around from tine to time to see the wonderful sights while slowly, walking ever more-so into the city, taking it all in, one step at a time,..

A sky city and an archeologist. Why wouldn't this be a dream come true? Nova had boarded the airship without question, only a few bucks and a sack slung over her shoulder containing two changes of clothes (two extra pairs of socks, dark blue jeans, a black T-shirt, pair of moss green cargo pants, a light blue T, and two different bras, a black sports bra and a white lacey one.), a fold up shield, a rope tied to a grappling hook, a larger container of dried fruits and meat mixed, and three bright red apples.

Nova wasn't the first one off, but was Damn well second as she came off after the elf, eyes opened wide as she stared at all the architectures. A gaped open mouth and a single "wooow" was all she could contemplate in her expressionary vocabulary at this time.

A squadron of airships loomed behind the clouds, camouflaged by a particularly large cumulonimbus. They were stationed there for now, like they were waiting for something. A signal, perhaps. Below them was a civilizatuon situated on a floating island, one that was bustling and full of life.

Down below a man watched a ship dock and observed the passengers getting off. Most of them looked fairly well off. It should prove to be a good harvest today. He smiled and figured perhaps he could maybe swipe something for himself before the other guys came. Drake slipped into the crowd, his eyes trained on a particular hooded individual.

Jackie was bouncing in her chair like a child. She'd been told stories of this flying city, and she was very eager to arrive. She was riding on her own airship. Soon she reached the city, docking at the port and locking her ship onto a landing pad, before heading off to explore the city.

As the adventurers wondered on to the magnificent creation, the City began to move. Up it went, climbing an unknown ladder to great heights. The faint hum of the engine(?) and the clicking of the great fans could be heard, as a fleet of Skyships followed the larger one like bees. People bustled about hurriedly as vendors began setting up shop. Buildings tall, short, curvy and square lined the roads, multiple signs hanging down over them. There were people waiting for the newcomers, a group wearing clothing suited for exploring, another looking rather refined and top-of-the-class. One had a knight-like attire and one even had creatures like griffins and small dragons about. It seemed they were examining the newcomers, and despite trying to seem welcoming, some who noticed steered away from them with glares. But that is to be expected, yes?

So, you have three groups presented to you. The Guild for adventurers, the Scholarship for tactical, practical and factual people, the Defenders of the City for those who want to... Defend, and the Tamers who, well, tame creatures. 'Cuz why not. Will you join one of these groups, or rather continue on and ignore them?
