Raquel, Norris, Aryana, Felix
You reluctantly take off your new armor, but at least you get to keep the weapons. You head out into town, down the street a block, then around a corner and a then a short ways down the road.
You find the tailor you were instructed to find and head inside.
A thin, almost skeletal woman with poofy red hair and long, bony fingers, wearing a grey suit and red tie, is waiting for you. "Finally, finally! I knew there would be more. Excellent, excellent. Let me just get your measurements, and... Mmm-hm! Great! So, what exactly did you have in mind? We need you to look your best for when you meet the royals tonight!" She looks between you all expectantly.
This is your chance to describe your characters' appearance and casual outfit.

Raquel adjusts her dress a bit, seemingly unused to such lavish fabrics. The silk, green and white dress contains a golden trim in certain spots and feels as silky soft as it sounds. The green heels and white gloves complete the outfit, giving off a very noble feel. "This is...well. I prefer the armor, but if this is what I have to wear for the nobles..." Raquel's light brown hair is worn down with a crown-like braid on her head as opposed to the usual low ponytail. Her eyes are completely white, a mark of her demon curse. A golden necklace pulls the entire look together, making her presentable for official events. "...I think I will stick to wearing my armor outside of these events..."
Norris, meanwhile, seems rather comfortable in his new clothes. Long, white, priest-like robes are worn by him with a brown scarf loosely worn on the shoulders. Silver cross symbols can be seen on the front and back of the robes as well. Among his spiky, white hair, goat-like horns can be seen growing from his skull, adorned with silver bracers. "The robes are nice, but did you really have to draw attention to the horns with those bracers..." His eyes are a crystal blue color with small, brown markings just beneath along the top of the cheeks. "I'm not actually a priest, you know. You didn't have to dress me like this..."

Without paying attention to anyone or saying a word, Zhera begins to select her desired outfit with pinpoint precision. First she braids the back of her raven black hair into a sort of laurel crown, with some of her hair still flowing freely underneath. She picks out a white underdress, that's somewhat plain, and adorns a large royal blue and silver overcoat on top. Next she grabs some white fabric gloves with royal blue trim on the wrist. She dons an elegant silver, blue, and gold skirt, with the main body being royal blue and the trim on top and bottom being gold then silver respectively. Finally, white, lightweight stockings that go almost to her thigh and some black boots like the ones from her combat uniform. Actually, they might be the same ones. "It is quintessential to warriorhood that one is precise in everything. Including the style of one's dress." Her voice is not condescending, airy, or even snobbish, but rather factual and level.
Aryana is a bit in awe over everyone's outfits, not being used to more regal manner of garb. It takes her a moment before she decides to select a rather plain-looking dress boasting a black body with spiralling red designs on it. Both colors share the canvas of the cloth equally, neither overpowering the other. She picks out some more dainty black shoes and some short stockings that match the dress. Overall, her outfit is both bold and plain at the same time, without much masterful composition but more of a simple touch.

Raquel
"Your appearance - how you present yourself - is extremely important, young miss. It speaks a lot of not only yourself, but also your allies. This is as much your duty as fighting."
Norris
"Hush, now. I think the horns are cute. And no, you aren't a priest. You're a demon hunter now. Act like it. Run along, now."
Zhera
"Yes, exactly." The tailor nods sagely. "Good taste."
Aryana
The tailor pinches your cheeks. "My, aren't you just the most adorable little thing?"
Raquel, Norris, Aryana, Felix
With your outfits finished, all that's left is to head to meet the others for the official recognition of your new status... and your first assignment. You adjust your armor and weapons, then head out towards the castle.
While you head towards the castle, you hear the sounds of combat coming from down an alley.
"You damn demons think you're better than us, huh?" Peering around the corner, you notice a group of six town guards surrounding a human figure slumped over on the ground. A human figure with a demonic tail. You recognize him as one of the other new demon hunters. He seems to still be alive, but he's collapsed on the ground and the guards are beating him. "Just because the king recognizes you doesn't mean we've forgotten how many your kind have killed! Huh? Come on, don't tell me you're dead already? I thought you were supposed to be tough or something!"
If you're planning to intervene, you should probably hold back from using any Invocations against these guys.

(Anyone calling Aryana, a tall, muscular she-hulk adorable is funny to me. Her red hair is her "demon trait", I guess if we need one.)
Aryana steps over to them, using her sheer presence as a domination tactic as she fiercely scowls at the perpetrators. Her voice is calm and resilient as she addresses them. "Step away from him. Now. You have no power except that in numbers, which is no true power at all in this situation. I suggest you all leave before things get ugly."
Zhera frowns and watches things, taking them in.

"Damn," one of the guards says. "First one escapes, now we lose the element of surprise..."
"They should've been coming one at a time!" the one who seems to be the leader protests. "Whatever. She's right, we still have the advantage of numbers. And they don't even have armor! Come on, get those damn demons!"
The guards form two rows of three and start advancing at a moderate pace.

You follow the direction towards the tailor's shop. A skeletal older woman in a suit greets you at the door. "Another hunter? Good. Come in, come in. Tell me what you want..." She brandishes a pair of scissors and some thread.

Mik takes the short time to describe how he likes to appear. An Average skinny Man with some decent muscle(how else is he supposed to be in some heavy armor), he has brown short and messy hair, he wears some painfully average clothes, Brown shirt, khaki pants, brown boots....
the point is to not stand out.

"...I knew I'd end up fighting in this stupid thing." Raquel pulls out her harpoon and turns to the others. "Disarm them and they can't fight. But don't kill them." She takes aim with her harpoon, throwing it at one of the guards legs to stop them from advancing.
Meanwhile, Norris heads to the front, using Reinforcement to raise his defenses. "I can handle them. Focus on attacking."

Aryana draws her sword anand takes a step forward, allowing her presence to speak for her. She uses Brilliant Lights.
Zhera sighs. She uses Invocation of Wellop, cursing her enemies as she holds out her right hand at the guards.

As Zhera starts using her invocation, Raquel calls out to her. "We can't use invocations on civilians! Stick to using something else!"

Zhera takes a moment. She eyes Raquel and lowers her hand.
Instead she simply Analyzes the enemy.

"My, you certainly look... existent," the tailor says. ".........Well, off you go, then. To the palace."
As you leave, you nearly crash into another of the Demon Hunters. Looks like some of them are catching up. While you head along towards the castle, you hear sounds of fighting - screaming, specifically - coming from an alleyway. You look down and see 4 of the new Demon Hunters squaring off against some of the town guards.
Calaveraera
You walk into the tailor, nearly bumping into a brown blob of generic-ness as he walks away. Inside, an eerily skeletal woman greets you. "Hello, dearie. Another of the new Demon Hunters? Good, good. Let's get you all dressed up for tonight.
This is your chance to describe your characters' appearance and casual outfit.
Raquel, Norris, Aryana, Felix
Zhera analyzes the enemy. The guards have no resistances or weaknesses. Their special attack is Charge Slash, where they take a round to prepare a powerful attack. Their threat level is extremely low.
Norris readies his hammer and takes a defensive stance. A pair of guards raise their swords and rush at him, trying to slash him. Their attacks don't even break the skin, though they cut through his nice new outfit.
Aryana uses Brilliant Lights, causing a series of small-but-harmless explosions to erupt throughout the alley. Three of the guards throw their arms up over their eyes to defend themselves, distracted.
The last, the apparent leader, raises his sword and begins preparing a Charge Slash before Raquel puts a harpoon through his leg. He immediately drops his sword, drops to the ground, and starts yelling while gesturing at his leg. "AAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
The other guards look extremely shaken.

Raquel pulls on the harpoon chain, retriving the harpoon. "Would anyone else care to fuck with me?"
Norris looks at the two guards that stabbed at him. "I don't mind knocking you out if I have to."
"Retreat now and bring your friend to the closest healer or the rest of you will meet the same fate."
