sooo… yeah took me a while to finish this as I had to rewrite this one multiple times since I wasn't satisfied with it. For now I will skip mooncancer, alter ego and pretender and will abandon the strict following of the classes in order as they are on the wiki. I will set the schedule to one chapter a week but depending on how much i write it may be more. Now enjoy!
The Throne welcomes you □■□■□■…
[SEARCHING FOR SUITABLE LEGENDS…]
Somewhere in front of a tree sat a woman surrounded by white flowers. In her arms the bundle of cloth stirred awake for but a moment. That was all it needed to find the Velvet Throne...
[WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!]
[UNKNOWN ENTITY IS TRYING TO ACCESS THE THRONE!!!]
[WARNING!!! UNKNOWN ENTITY HAS BEEN LINKED TO THE THRONE!!!]
[CANDIDATE FOUND!]
[WARNING!!! UNKNOWN ENTITY HAS ESTABLISHED RECRUITMENT!]
[INITIALISING RECRUITMENT OF FOUND LEGEND…]
Inside the throne and its various rooms one could observe reactions ranging from worry towards apathy and even worry. 'This is not good and it won't end well I guess' were the thoughts of Shamir, Mustang and Judith. 'Maybe this will bring some excitement in here for a change' were the thoughts of Zabuza, Roger and Azula. 'Fuck this deal is so not worth dealing with something like that!!!' were the thoughts of Neo and Jack. 'If it's intelligent enough to connect to the throne maybe we can bind a part of it through a contract' were the thoughts of Zhongli. 'Damn it! I should've known something would happen sooner or later. Maybe I shouldn't have made that wish with a Holy Grail after all' were the thoughts of the Curator before moving towards the throne/control room.
Once inside he saw a couple standing in front of the throne. A woman clad in an old black Victorian dress of excellent making, but one of the things that caught his eyes was the red scarf around her neck. The man was half a head shorter than the woman but his clothes where the most eye-catching part of him. A worn-out tricorn atop his head, followed by a scarf covering his face except the eyes, a black leather overcoat, underneath a black doublet with a white shirt, black pants and knee-high black leather boots which were from the looks of it armoured. As the Curator assessed them they too were doing just the same.
After assessing them, he thankfully managed to switch into his professional smile and bowed. "Welcome my guests to the Velvet Throne, a place for heroes, villains and monsters. I'm sure you have many questions, some even I don't have the answer to, but what do you say about taking this talk somewhere more comfy with a nice cup of tea?"
A short while later inside the lounge around a table were four people: the couple, the Curator and Zhongli. Each with their own tea cup in front of them, but all four knew silence wasn't going to help them in this situation. With a deep sigh the Curator set down his cup and looked towards the man.
"I am almost certain as to who you two are but please indulge me and correct me if I'm wrong, but what are the Good Hunter and the Doll looking for here?"
The stars inside the eyes of the man twinkled brightly for just a moment but the woman's face gained a small smile.
"While searching for new potential Hunters for the new dream the Good Hunter has been creating we saw this magnificent and intriguing institution. The Good Hunter was quite disappointed with finding no worthy applicants for a while now. If this place is to find formidable people there may be someone worthy to hold the title of Hunter in the future or so we thought."
Caught of guard by the honesty and the revelation of what the Doll said the Curator took a moment to answer. "I… see. Well that is presents quite the difficult debacle for us all. While it probably is true that you may find suitable candidates here, their existence is tied to this place. You could maybe copy them for the Hunter's Dream but I would guess with how headstrong most if not all guests here are, it would prove difficult for them to follow what the Good Hunter has planned for them. Though there may be some worthy from the ones who will participate in the Grail Wars but even that I cannot say. But I may have an idea that will help us both. We could form a contract. A contract which lets you search for worthy candidates to invite to the Hunter's Dream and on our end lets us keep a fragment of you two here in the Velvet Throne because even as he is now the Good Hunter does qualify to be recorded. For that purpose along others I brought mr. Zhongli with me here." The mentioned Zhongli inclined his head in a nod. "What you say to that idea Good Hunter?"
There was a long silence following this proposal until the Doll leaned her head on the Good Hunter's shoulder and whispered something to him. After another moment of thinking the Good Hunter leaned towards the table and signed the contract with a myriad of stars shining in his eyes.
The Curator stood up and bowed towards the two guests. „Then let me welcome you once again Dreamer of a myriad Hunts, the Good Hunter."
