[quote=@Raijinslayer] [h1]Nidhogg[/h1] "Meh, I had nothing better to do, and still don't for that matter. What mission are you going to take? Bandits? Cats? Mansion Cleaning? Ah the joys of guild work, being the country's personal errand boys and gophers. For a world recovering from a fear of magic, people sure are quick to make use of those who practice it." Nidhogg chuckled to himself, before turning a crimson eye to Cyare, a bit of curiosity lighting up his eyes as he gave her his full attention. "So,other than looking for work, what brings a lovely young lady such as yourself, and you're companion here, to this shithole of a capitol? Is it only business, cause if so, I do suggest you take pleasure in watching the games, if for nothing else than it's a good way to find out if they're any guilds you wish to join." [@Krayzikk] [/quote] [h1]Cyare Staunton[/h1] "I have no desire to watch a competition of the egos when I could be doing something useful instead." Cyare stated, her tone faintly harder than before. Her eyes slowly made their way off of the board to meet Nidhogg's crimson gaze, face set in a calm, neutral expression. "Time spent watching wizards compete to prove their guild is the strongest is time wasted. It matters not to me which of them wins, and any education on other styles of magic is outweighed by the time needed to glean even the smallest details from observation." "I have no need to see which guild is the strongest, either. Not for professional purposes, and [i]especially[/i] not for personal ones. I have no intention of subsuming myself to the inefficient, bureaucratic nightmare that is a guild. Any guild small enough to actually matter in the grand scheme is too small to be worth much in spectator sport. So why would I bother watching the competitions of such large groupings of wasted talent?" The Tactical Mage paused, taking an almost imperceptibly deeper breath than normal. Her voice had stayed level, without raising a decibel, but she felt like she was shouting. No need to respond to a small comment in such a way. "I digress. My opinion of guilds is not what you asked. Likely the bandits. Monsters, if there's any to be found. Menial tasks do not pay well, and while Rei would no doubt love the excuse to lord his speed over someone else, they take too much time to be worth the effort invested. People do not need our help with house cleaning. They just want someone else to do it."
