"Thank you sir."Rosalina nodded to the heliolisk, waiting and watching as the Shinx and Nidoran started off again. Best not follow them too closely. If they get tangled up on each other again, that'd end badly for all of us. She, of course, let them take a lead of a few feet before following again, using the moment to brace herself to meet the guildmaster for the first time.

The heliolisk nods as the group exits to find themselves at the translucent strands of light that circle the tower, they seem solid for the most part, surprisingly. A rather large staraptor is perched a short distance away, overlooking the city, it still bustling with people.

Vim keeps to the back of the group. Contrary to here snide comment before, she does actually want to make sure no one takes a tumble. Plus then the Guild Master might not notice her so quickly. She still had a sneaking suspicion he had seen her arguing with Nidoran. He always seemed to know when she got into trouble.

"E-Excuse me. Are you the guild master?" Rosalina perked up, seeing the large bird Pokemon ahead, carefully stepping forward. "We've come to register to the guild."

Adding to what his newest companion had said, Marcello eagerly continues, "We're adventurers and explorers from far off lands, hoping against hope for a chance to follow our dreams as members of the finest Exploration Guild in the land, sir!"

Jackie was already standing at the front of the arrangement, and felt awkward about saying nothing, so when Marcello did what he did best, she just shrugged and added "Yeah, that." with less than a fraction of the feeling her hammy friend threw in.

The Guildmaster glances over noting the presence of the group, before nodding at the petilil's question, before looking over at the trapinch, it was clear flattery wasn't going to work on him as he turns to face the group. "Before I consider allowing you in, you will need to answer a few questions for me..." The guildmaster towers over the party, quite intimidating waiting for them to be ready.

Rosalina was a bit shaken by the size of the guildmaster, and took a moment to puff up a bit, in her mouthless form of a deep breath. "A-Ask away!" She was more than just a little nervous. Beyond the natural, intimidating look of the guildmaster. If she didn't answer the coming questions appropriately, it'd be the difference between joining the guild and not. She braced herself, shaking slightly as she awaited the first question.

Jack didn't want to admit that she was put off by the esteemed behemoth before her. The nidoran tensed up, but nodded, prepared to answer whatever the giant bird had in mind

Vim carefully makes her way out of the line of fire. She'd already been grilled once. No need to feel the full heat of his judgey gaze again. She felt bad for the trio. Well two of them.

Finding himself oddly... tense, under the stare of the Guildmaster, Marcello plods in place a little as he awaited the questions. He wasn't worried, of course, but it was still a lot of pressure, under his watchful gaze.

The Guildmaster takes a deep breath and begins; "What do you seek out of joining this guild? What does being an explorer mean to you? And lastly Would you be forming a team?" He doesn't seem to care about the last question too much but his gaze rests on Vim.

Giddily, Marcello answers, "To join your guild would let me work with, and more importantly, learn from the greatest explorers of our generation! Accepting any lesser guild would be disrespecting the entire profession, settling for mediocrity!"
He has to pause to think about the next question, but eventually says, "Explorers... should search for lands and treasure unknown, to uncover the World's mysteries, and to help all those we meet along the way!". He adds afterwards, "Of course, imagine all the things we would be able to do as a team of explorers, than independent agents."

Jack shuffled uncomfortably. The nidoran already felt the weight of the planet in the Guildmaster's gaze, but now her motives were under scrutiny.
"I want in on the guild partly because I need a job, and I think I'd be good at this, but I'm also hoping to find some...answers..."
The punk let the silence hang in the air, now more aware with what her situation implied, and severely uncomfortable with sharing that vulnerability.
"To me, an explorer is an outdated term from back when we didn't have the whole world mapped out, ...I mean...I guess a explorer would just be someone who goes where they probably shouldn't. As for teams.. Well, I tend to do things my way, but I came to this dance with a partner, and I wasn't planning on leaving him."
Jack took a deep breath after letting it all out. It sucked not being the strongest around

Vim also shift uncomfortably under the Guildmaster's stare. It wasn't something you got used to, even if you'd been around aggressive birds before. But why was he staring at her? He already knew why she'd joined but she really hadn't had a team before now. She looks at the other three. They might not be her first choice...but she could try to tolerate them. Vim nods slightly, oddly timid around the big bird.

Rosalina timidly waited for the others to finish their answers, trying to find the words for her own. After taking a moment, she finally spoke up. "Th-This guild is the key to becoming an official explorer, to me. As well as a place where explorers gather, to share information and stories, and to ask for help when needed." She paused for another moment, trying to brace her nerves yet again. "And an explorer is someone who explores the unexplored, and helps others in need. I-I, especially, hope to find new potential medicines, in the places we explore." Rosalina then tilted her head, thinking on the matter of the four of them as a team. "W-We kind of all bumped into each other on the way here. Literally, in some cases." she took a moment to glance at Vim. "But I wouldn't be opposed to being a part of their team, if they'd allow me."

The giant bird looks to each as they give their answer nodding slightly at each as if mentally noting each's response before going silent, he'd look away after a few moments and stare into the distance. "An array of outlooks, interesting. None of your answers are wrong, as there is no real defining term for an explorer. We don't only explore the unknown or transverse some dungeon. We protect the weak and aid the public in what they cannot do, we bring balance to this unstable world and find answers to mysterious questions..." The guildmaster looks back at the group. "I did not necessarily mean you all being on the same team but if that is the case, what will your team name be?"
During the guildmaster's speech, Heliolisk comes to the doorway to observe.

Rosalina looked back and forth, amongst the others. She was obviously pretty excited, and was even more excited to see what this new team's name would be. "Have you two picked a name for the team, already? S-Sounded like you were already planning to start a team, and all."

Jack gave a half-shrug at the walking salad's suggestion. "Y'know, I honestly hadn't thought about becoming an adventurer until we ran into you guys anyway, so I haven't had much time to think about it. Honestly I'd rather do this after we've had time to get to know each other, but I get the feeling that we probably can't do any missions until we have a name. What if we went by color scheme? You're a literal plant, Claptrap is the color of terra cotta, and I've got this sky blue thing going on...What if we went by "Team Heaven and Earth"? Also it kinda works because Claptrap and I are kinda brutal and you seem like a sweetheart, you're Heavan, we're Earth. "

Marcello listens to Jack's explanation... and then keeps listening, as the Nidoran expounds on their team name. He was rather surprised by the end of it, and thoroughly impressed. "A very mighty suggestion, Nidoran! We could be known far and wide as 'Team Heaven and Earth', undaunted by either!". He didn't mention that actually picking a name for his team wasn't something he'd considered... but in hindsight, perhaps he had thought too far ahead of himself.
