It was dead quiet in the guild building not just because it was not yet 7 o’clock but because today was Monday, the day when a representative of the Magic Council made their weekly visit to make sure things are running smoothly. While the majority of guild members would rather not come in at all, the presence of everyone was compulsory and even documented. If someone was missing after 10 o’clock then they were found and disciplined for their act of insubordination. Punishments varied depending on the reason for absence and are thus classified into differing levels of severity. The lowest being a strike against a mages name and the highest being where magic is stripped from a mage for a week using a bracelet of Magic Sealing Stones.

While the guild was in silence it was not entirely empty, a few mages were already present. One mage in particular, a [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/54886/posts/ooc?page=1#post-1688933]Lola Joyrani[/url], was this early for a very specific reason. The Magic Council representative placed new jobs on the request board every Monday and while they tried to make it as sporadic as possible, Lola who had observed this action for the last 13 years has managed to pick up a pattern and knew for a fact that today, the new jobs would be placed on the request board at exactly five past seven.This left her with 20 minutes to read another chapter of her book, ‘How trains work,’ it wasn’t everyones cup of tea, but Lola found it absolutely riveting. 

Taking a seat at a table closest to the Request board, Lola used her Requip magic and the book suddenly appeared in the table right in front of her with a puff of smoke. The tactic of reading was secretly a diversion for what she was planning. Since she had a rent payment due in the next few days, Lola needed a job that was well paying and the only way to get such a thing was to be the first person, otherwise all that would be left are the jobs paying under 100 Jewels for doing what was considered to be no less than house work. 

Shivering almost involuntarily at the thought, Lola opened her book and began reading, instantly becoming enraptured by the words on the pages. Unfortunately, not even a page into the new chapter, the doors of the guild burst open and with a startled jump in her spot, Lola looked up to see another guild member.

“G-good morning!” She called out with a smile and the slightest of stutters and waved a hand in greeting. If she didn’t say good morning to her fellow guild members then she feared that they would become suspicious by her unusual behaviour since she always greeted everyone as per her friendly personality.
