[I]Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred.[/I] Maddox dropped down from the pull-up bar he positioned towards the top of his bedroom doorway. With that last exercise, he was done with his morning warm-up. Aside from the morning jog, that is. But like always, he was going to get that one in on his way to the guild hall. The red-haired mage grabbed his signature coat and headed for the front door. The sun was already out, but he enjoyed his sleep anyways. He went to bed early the night before just to get that extra rest rather than sleeping in today. Once at the street, Maddox let out an exasperated sigh. [I]I smoke and I jog. Almost redundant,[/I] he thought to himself with a chuckle before adjusting his coat and beginning his brisk run.

To make it worth the effort, he ran around the outskirts of Magnolia in the direction that would take the most distance to reach the guild hall. Simply jogging straight toward it wouldn't do anything for him, so this way was the best in order to compromise effort with time. Once Maddox reached Phoenix Wing, he stopped at the front doors and let out another sigh. [I]At least I'm alive.[/I] With that, he chuckled and swung the doors open. Inside he could already see several people. Somewhat surprising to him, considering it was still early. Perhaps they were eager for today's mission? Or since he only really knew Sasha and Angelo, perhaps this was their normal hour to start their days? Regardless, Maddox let the front doors close behind him as he walked over to the table that Sasha, Damien, and James sat around.

"Everyone here seems ready so far," Maddox noted aloud as he stood by the table, not quite sitting down yet. He only took a seat after adjusting his fur coat. "We probably won't get started for another few hours though." He contemplated withdrawing a cigarette, but fought the drive. It was too early for him to start smoking, as addicting as it is. "I slept good last night though. How 'bout you guys?"
