Everyone
After a few moments of casual conversation, it's time for the banquet to begin. The other guests trickle in. Soon, a horn cuts through the air.
A greying man with a long beard walks in with a regal red cape, accompanied by a sizable cadre. Even without the announcement, you immediately know this to be King Ferran. He stomps to the head of the table of honor with a royal scowl affixed to his wrinkled face.
Right behind him is the crown prince, Abran. He's a blond, muscular young man with curly blond hair. The next in line for the crown wears a winning smile in sharp contrast to his father. He gives everyone a small wave before sitting at his father's side.
The next three to enter the room, all in a row, are the three original demon hunters. Rinoa Heart is first. Instead of her stark-white plate mail, she's currently wearing a blood-red military uniform with white pants and tall, high-heeled boots, and her black hair is tied in a simple ponytail tossed over one shoulder. Her famous rose whip is tied to her hip. She has a gentle smile on her face and calmly takes her seat on the end of the table.
Next is Klein Herald. He's dressed similarly to Rinoa, with a matching uniform in a dark shade of green. His pink hair, normally messy, is straightened and smoothed down. A bow is slung across his back, along with some arrows on his hip. He follows Rinoa's lead, constantly staying close to her side with a smile on his face.
The last is Una Yggdris. She's wearing a brilliant blue ballgown that sparkles in the torchlight. Long, curly, blonde hair flowing down to her hips bounces wildly as she prances in wearing matching blue heels. A belt strapped to her hip holds several small sticks that can be snapped together into a spear if need be. She sits next to Prince Abran and smiles broadly.
This leaves one of the six chairs empty. The king cuts his eyes towards Zhera for a moment, then returns to his impassive glare.
Zhera
You realize he's actually staring at the girl next to you, the one who had yet to cease her senseless prattle when the announcements start. And looking at the king, prince, and empty chair, it suddenly it clicks. This would be the king's youngest daughter, Yuna.
Everyone
The king's speech is short and curt. "We have gathered to welcome the third assembly of Demon Hunters. Congratulations on completing your training. From this day forward, you all have the official capacity to act as official agents of the kingdom to enforce its laws and protect its interests. But that is for tomorrow. Tonight, enjoy the feast."
Klein is next to speak. "As the king says! Enjoy the party, rookies, because I'm putting you right to work at dawn. We've got a lot of missions stockpiled after all the manhours we spent training you. So you better be ready!"
"Don't worry, it won't all be work," Yuna promises. "You'll get to see far-off lands, meet interesting new people, fight the most vicious monsters. So don't decide to run off or anything!"
Rinoa gives a small laugh. "There will be time for that tomorrow. Just remember, above all, what we stand for. We transcend our nature as Cursed and turn our demonic strength in service of others. Keep that mentality in your hearts above all else."
With that, the food is served, and the party turns to casual conversation. You have a short time to converse with others, if you wish...
