Coty's Recruitment Speech

A wide-eyed Coty, clutching a tattered parchment appears on top of a pile of creates in the middle of the city.   “Um, hello, everyone! I’m, uh, Coty, yes, that’s my real name! So, um, you know how sometimes you’re walking through the forest, and you see this, like, shimmering curtain of mist? And you’re all like, ‘Whoa, what’s behind there? Is it a magical family doing a tea party with talking squirrels?’ Well, guess what? That’s kinda what joining The Veil feels like!”   "The Veil Is… Well, Veily" Coty gestures dramatically, nearly knocking over a magical lantern. “See, The Veil isn’t just a bunch of folks in cloaks. It’s like a super-secret club where we wear hoods and stuff. But don’t worry, we’re not, like, evil or anything. We just like to involve ourself in secrets, you have never heard about?”   Perks of Veil Membership (Totally Not Boring)

• Coty squints at the parchment. “Okay, so, we’ve got this, um, secret handshake. It involves wiggling your pinky toe while humming a tune only bats or something like that can hear. It’s, like, super exclusive!”
• “Also, we have a chat channel where we discuss important things like whether dragons prefer strawberry or mint-flavored hoards. Deep stuff, really.”
• “And guess what? If you join, you get to be my little brother or sister! That’s an amazing deal!

  Our Mission (It’s Kinda Hush-Hush)

• Coty leans in, whispering. “Okay, so, The Veil’s mission is to…um, well, we’re not sure. But it’s definitely important! Maybe we guard the world from invisible evil men or protect the moon’s bedtime stories. Who knows?”

• “Also, we’re super chill. Drama? Nah. We’re more like a cozy blanket made of secrets. And sometimes, we bake cookies. Secret cookies.”

  How to Join (It’s Easy, Promise!)

• Coty claps hands together. “So…………, I don’t actually know. But if you contact Sylward over there… I am sure he knows.

  Final Words (Because We’re Almost Out of Secrets)

• Coty beams. “So, come join The Veil! We’re like a family of curious squirrels. And remember, when life gets tough, just pull your hood over your eyes and whisper, ‘I’m part of The Veil.’ It’ll make you feel all mysterious and stuff!”

  Coty curtsies, nearly tripping over herself. “Thank you, thank you! And may your dreams be as veiled as …… em as the moon!”   ______   The speech gets off to a rocky start, with people mostly trying to get the autograph of Sylword and Bucket. However, towards the end of the speech, several people offer their services right now. Among others, there's two brothers, a seamstress, a smith and a knight offering to break their current oath to work for us (red flag). Stories about our deeds begin circulating, and another guy tries to compete with us.
