Your first meeting with your familiars, written entirely as dialogue. Don’t you want to take a peek at your future together with them, from the start of it all?
(under the cut: dialogue from all the groups, upon their first time meeting you in person. short, as it’s from the discord server!)
Heartslabyul
Ace
"You're kidding me. You've got to be kidding me, are you serious?! Grim--I thought this was your Master, not... not mine! I... I... Uh, it's... nice to meet you. I'm Ace... Your, uh, other familiar. If you'll have me."
Deuce
"Ow ow ow ow... Ah--!! Um, I-I'm Deuce! It's my pleasure--it's nice to--I'm honored to be--UH--THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING MY MASTER! ...Ace! Shut up! Stop laughing at me!!"
Cater
"...Huh. You really do... exist. ...Oh! I'm Cater, it's super cool to finally meet you, Master! I'm an old fox, but I've got nine tails, so I'll definitely make you happy~! ..Really, I'm so happy to meet you!"
Trey
"...Sorry, I was staring, wasn't I? I'm Trey, a tengu. You must have walked all the way here, right? Come in, the temple's always stocked with refreshments and snacks for any surprise guests. I'd like to know your preferences, if that's alright? We'll be together in the long run, after all."
Riddle
"--Welcome, do make yourself at home, Master. It's my honor to be your familiar--I'm Riddle, the head of the Heartslabyul Temple. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have about anything, but first... well, could I ask you to tie my rope for me first, please?"
Savanaclaw
Jack
"...So this is... I'm Jack. My name... it's Jack. To think I'd meet you in a place like this... My luck is really awful. Still... No matter the location, no matter the reason... It's my honor to finally be your familiar, Master. I'll serve you with my everything, just give me the order."
Ruggie
"O-oh, you're... haha, you're my, my master... No, no, I'm okay, I'm sorry for suddenly... it's just... I wanted to meet you for so long, and I thought maybe even if I did, you wouldn't want me, and... I'm sorry, the tears just won't stop, I'm so.. I'm so happy... I-I'm Ruggie, and I'm yours. I'm yours, Master, so I'm begging you, won't you take me in..?"
Leona
"...Well, this complicates things. Now that we've met, I'll have to hand down the Savanaclaw group to someone other than my top two candidates. Really, what is my life, that even my Master would be extraordinary..? Heh, no, it's fine. From now on, we're family. I, Leona, will protect you with my life, Master. Of course, you'll accept my vow, won't you?"
Octavinelle
Floyd
"Aha--! So you're my Master? You look so weak~! Mm... Humans are so terrible at taking care of themselves. Are you eating right? Humans have really specific needs with nutrients and stuff, right? How 'bout exercise? Wah... you don't look like you'll last a day outside... But that's alright. That's what relying on us is for, right? Hm, me? I'm Floyd. You're my whole life now, so don't get angry at me for getting into your business, okay, Master~?"
Jade
"I was informed beforehand, but you do seem worryingly brittle. Ah, have no fear, we're well-educated on the requirements for a human to achieve a healthy state, so you may leave it all up to us... Or perhaps, you're the sort who cares nothing for such things? Then you wouldn't be averse to being locked up inside all the time..? --It was a joke, Master. This Jade wouldn't do such a thing... without your consent. Let's get along from here on out, yes?"
Azul
"Welcome, welcome, my dearest Master! I, Azul, of the Octavinelle Information Brokers, have been long awaiting your arrival..! To best fit your human lifestyle, I've been intensely studying human behavior all this time, just to be of service to you! Please, feel free to ask me anything you want to know, about anyone at all! I guarantee you, I'll have the information delivered to you within the day--! Ah, no, this is a personal conversation... I am Azul, and I'm delighted to be your familiar at last, Master!"
Scarabia
Kalim
"Oh, I'm so, so sorry..!! That must have been really scary, right? I just--I saw you from afar and I got so excited 'cause it's so difficult for youkai from the Scarabia area, that is, my area, to meet their Masters, so I thought I absolutely couldn't miss this chance, but the entire trip here must've been really scary, right..? I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you..! What do you want?! Despite my looks, I'm really good at making things, you know! You can ask for clothes, or small items.. --I can make weapons too, so--!! Oh! I haven't introduced myself! I'm Kalim! Nice to meet you, Master!"
Jamil
"...Sorry, Kalim dragging you here is partially my fault too. I riled him up too much on how this might be the only chance he gets, and he just sped off when I wasn't looking... You're not injured, are you? ...That's good. I'm Jamil. You really didn't have to follow Kalim into a place as dark and heavy as this, but.. I'm glad you're that kind of foolish human, honestly. I didn't think about revealing myself to you, but my hand has been forced, so... Won't you accept me, as grotesque as I might be, into your service, Master?"
Pomefiore
Epel
"Hah? Huh? Master? You? No, I'm not--dissatisfied, or nothing, it's just... This feels like it's happening way too fast, so I don't know how to react at all... Uh, I'm Epel, and I'm wonderin' why you're wanderin' around a place like this..? Ah, you got in trouble with the Queen of the Cliff, right? Right? Can't be helped... Don't worry, Master, I'll come with you and smack some sense into him. I've got a whole list of things I wanna throw into his face anyways! Let's make a scene, yeah?!"
Rook
"I heard about your little plan to overthrow that lonely Queen, and I must say, your courage is absolutely commendable! Humans don't wander into that area in fear of their lives, yet here you are, throwing yourself headfirst into danger! You must have heard the tales, no doubt? As brave as you are, I'm afraid as your loyal familiar, I simply cannot let you wander into such treacherous territory alone..! I implore you, won't you utilize the powers I, Rook, possess? I'll ensure every plan of yours is a success worthy of a standing ovation, Master, all you have to do is take my hand!"
Vil
"..! You're..! You have some nerve, taking this long to find me..! What? No! I'm not going to fight you now! It's canceled, canceled, I say! I will not have my Master participating in a fight involving this many high-power youkai, even if they're all your familiars..! Ugh, listen here, Master dear... You're the master of the Queen of the Cliff, Vil of the Pomefiore folk. Stand tall, for I hold you in the highest regard! I won't stand for you to be slighted in even the smallest of matters! I'll make this world positively beautiful, all for you, so accept my promise here and now!"
Ignihyde
Ortho
"Hello, Master! I'm Ortho! Please tie my rope! Oh... you seem very startled. Ah, of course! It's because the ritual isn't finished yet, and something has already appeared, right? Don't worry! This is part of the normal process! I'm a good sign that you're almost there! Please do not give up now, for there's one more person you have to meet! Actually, me appearing isn't a normal thing, but I couldn't stop myself from wanting to meet you in person as soon as I could... Don't lose steam now, Master, I'll help you with the final part, so let's call him together, and be a big, happy family together!"
Idia
"...I was wondering what kind of dumb group would manage to summon me after all this time, and it ended up being my Master and Ortho... Ugh, there's no way this is happening, are you kidding me... I spent this long not being in service anywhere and just existing as I pleased, and now it's all over... I'm not upset, Ortho, I'm just mourning my former lifestyle for a bit, okay? Okay. Al--right, I'm done moping. ..Hello, Master, I'm Idia, the amalgamation of the Ignihyde phenomenon. Mm... this might be fun. Use me as you please, it's more exciting that way, Master..."
Diasomnia
Sebek
"I'm... I can't apologize enough! I am aware that a simple glimpse of someone's face causing a stranger to burst into tears must be very off-putting--!! It's just--!! I am beyond honored and delighted to finally meet you, Master! I am Sebek, and I work for the Diasomnia Shrine! --Wait! Now that I have a Master, do I just resign from the shrine now?! Can I just leave without informing them--?! Err, Master, I understand it's incredibly rude of me to request something of you all of a sudden, but could you possibly accompany me back to the shrine so I can hand in my formal resignation..?! I want to be by your side for the rest of my life, so even one moment away from you is just..! Impossible for me!"
Silver
"I heard Sebek shouting from the other side of the shrine, so I thought he was dying and came to look, but... This is a far more welcome big incident. It's a pleasure to formally meet you, Master. I'm Silver, one of the guards for the Diasomnia Shrine. You'll have to hand in Sebek and mine's resignation to Lilia specifically since we're both under his care... He's hard to pin down though, so I'll tag along with you. ...You don't mind me being around, do you? I don't think I'll be able to leave you even if you asked, right now... Truth be told, I'm so happy I wouldn't mind dying at this moment. So.. let me stay by your side, please?"
Lilia
"You found me! Congratulations, little human! I've been waiting for you to notice me this entire time! Now, this is where things will finally get exciting..! I was pondering on what I'd do if you never found me this time, but I see my boys have resolved my worries in a flash. Indeed, I am Lilia of the Diasomnia Shrine and a very, very good friend of that cat of yours. We used to travel all over the world together, making preparations for your birth... I'm glad it was all worth it. Master, don't die anytime soon, okay? ...Don't be scared. There's just one more little pet of yours you must meet, after all!"
Malleus
"..Finally, finally, at long, long last... You've come for me, Master. All these millenniums I've spent waiting, the misery of being alone, the yearning for your person to enter my sight... How I wished you'd appear in front of me, so many times in my long lifetime, that I've completely lost count of the prayers I sent to the stars... Everything vanished in an instant, the moment you walked into my shrine. All the agony, the pain, the sadness... At long last, you're here. I am indescribably grateful to the fate that bound us together, that brought you to me.
Now, Master, please accept the solemn vow of this unworthy dragon revered as a god by the human masses, yet fails to even be enough to deliver all that you deserve in this world... I am Malleus, the dragon god of the Diasomnia Shrine, and your most loyal and eager servant. With this vow, may the world crumble to its knees and beg for your mercy, may all life depend on your kindness to survive, may my humble life be dictated by you alone, and may everything end with your final breath.
From here on, let's make a forever to fester this love, Master. I'm looking forward to it."
