Chloe had ordered herself a drink, well, several of them after she had taken a seat at the bar as per her usual routine. Get to the guild, drink all the alcohol, and then possibly go on a job if she wasn't so drunk she was making holes all over the place while thinking she was fighting a dragon. That was always a riot. Well, until Alicia made her stop because she had no sense of humor. And speaking of the humorless party pooper. Chloe managed a sheepish grin while Alicia berated her for her antics. The green haired girl rubbed the back of her neck as a small amount of embarrassment washed over her. Any embarrassment she felt though, was quickly washed away by the guild master patting her on the head and praising her for her magic. She was of course, not going to tell him she had been aiming for the cellar where they kept the alcohol. [b]"See Alicia, you need to lighten up a bit!"[/b] Chloe boldly stated, her grin getting bigger as she gained confidence from the old mans praising. [b]"Yeah, see, I need to practice. Have someone from the guild fix it or something. That should save you a few jewels!"[/b] She chuckled mischievously. However, before she could get a reply, Alicia mentioned something about some girl named Yukiko. She didn't know that name. Was she a new member? Of course, Chloe didn't really keep up with the name of everyone in the guild, so maybe she just didn't know the person that well. Her thoughts were interrupted as a quiet voice brought her attention towards the ceiling. Chloe looked up, and she saw what could only be described as the most adorable thing she ever saw. A girl, with white wings was floating above them. So this was 'Yukiko', then? Well, she must have been a new member because she would have remembered someone like the little girl. She had to briefly wonder if it was legal for someone to be so adorable. Ignoring the new person who was addressing Master Pollux, Chloe began to address the small girl. Had she come up under this girl?...oops. She should probably apologize. [b]"Heh, sorry about that!"[/b] Chloe called up to the girl. [b]"Thought I was heading for the cellar where they kept all the alcohol! Didn't expect anyone to be there. You alright?"[/b] She admitted, right in front of Alicia and the Guildmaster. Ah well, it wasn't like getting a verbal abuse from Alicia was anything new for her. It happened on a daily basis. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Blue Pegasus Guildhall~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [b]"Hmmm. So this is what a mages guild looks like."[/b] A rather confident looking woman dressed in a long purpose dress commented as she walked up to the building. [i]'pathetic'[/i]She stood still and surveyed the building, as though she was casing the joint. Well, that was because she was. Acacia Cornet. That was her name, and this guild had something she wanted. For all the guilds talk of keeping the peace and getting rid of dark magical items, they sure liked to hoard them. Kinda reminded her of her parents a bit. They liked collecting magical things. At the thought though, she simply frowned and grumbled to herself, dismissing the thoughts. She needed a way into the guild without arousing suspicion. Easy enough for someone who had a bit of talent in teleportation magic. In the blink of an eye, the girl was gone. Teleportation magic was a weak magic, but it had its uses when one wanted to move about unseen. With a few uses of this, she had managed to get to where she wanted too without alerting the guild members. The Archives. Now, all she had to do was find the tome and get out without being seen. Should be easy enough to find it. Those fool mages probably didn't even try to protect it from anyone taking it. idiots. You always protect anything of power that you might have, otherwise, someone is going to steal it from you. Moving quietly through the archives, she found herself looking over several books as she searched for the tome she was looking for. Now that she had the place to herself, she wondered what exactly guild mages read. Most of them weren't anything of great interest to her, but she found it amusing that such things entertained these legal guilds. Ah well, enough fooling around. Quickly, Acacia replaced the book she was holding and walked over to where she believed the tome she was looking for was being held.
