[h2] Perry the penniless... Again[/h2] A cold wind blew through the streets, causing a sleeping teen to shiver himself awake. The surrounding was much different than he remembered leaving it. The night before he had been able to gain a room at a local inn, a comfort he seldom got. He slowly rubbed his eyes, thinking that perhaps that would clear his vision of his room. But this was to no avail. [color=fff200]"Oh great. I wake up in an alley again."[/color] He said as he got to his feet, but a sudden wave of nausea caused him to nearly topple over, if not for the nearby trash can that he managed to catch himself with. Upon doing so, the lid was dislodged from its resting place, causing it to fall onto the ground in a clatter that to him sounded like an explosion. [color=fff200]"Ugh. Another one. Elena come on!"[/color] he yelled before noticing that he was not in his usual attire, but a red dress that he didn't recognize. [color=fff200]"What the hell am I wearing!?"[/color] [color=ed1c24]"Hmhmhm,"[/color] A voice came from inside his head, each chuckle like a hammer to the poor boy's head. [color=ed1c24]"Come now Perry. I think that look suits you."[/color] Perry knew the voice well, as the two had become inseparable after a botched spell a year ago. [color=fff200]"Elena. Please."[/color] Perry pleaded with her. [color=ed1c24]"Oh fine. You're no fun when you are like this. You can't even enjoy my master prank."[/color] She said. The boy's hand raised to his temple with a small glyph on it. [color=ed1c24]"Healing Magic: Hang Under."[/color] Perry began to feel a wave of comfort go over him, releasing him from the effects of Elena's partying. [color=fff200]"Thank you. Now... WHAT AM I DOING IN THIS DRESS?!"[/color] He yelled as he requipped his standard clothing...and a scarf. Elena burst out laughing while Perry discovered that his wallet was now barren. The realization caused Elena to quiet down. [color=fff200]"Elena. What happened to all of my Jewels?"[/color] He asked rage building. [color=ed1c24]"Well...,"[/color] she began before taking a deep unneeded breath. [color=ed1c24]"After you went to sleep I took control because I remembered seeing a magic item shop, so I spent 5000 Js to buy that dress you had on and went to a Tavern because I wanted to test the dress and it works really well but I ended up drinking too much and got into a brawl with some guy because he grabbed my butt so I knocked him out with a Table, but the Bartender demanded I pay for the damages and drinks.[/color] Perry sat grasping the bridge of his nose in annoyance, took a deep breath and gently asked, [color=fff200]"Alright. That's par for you. What does the dress do?"[/color] He could practically hear Elena smile sheepishly, [color=ed1c24]"It has a charm spell on it that makes the opposite sex attracted to you."[/color] Perry rolled his eyes saying, [color=fff200]"Typical."[/color] before hearing his stomach growl. [color=fff200]"Aw man. We don't even have enough to eat right now."[/color] [color=ed1c24]"Well, I mean, there are some local Guilds here. Maybe you could find an easy job to get some money. Plus, there could be a Wizard in one of those guilds that can help us in our little predicament."[/color] [color=fff200]"That's...Actually a great idea!"[/color] Perry yelled as he left the alley and began running towards what he thought is the nearest guild, a shining smile on his face. [color=ed1c24]"You have no idea where you are going do you?"[/color] Elena asked causing Perry to slow to a halt. [color=fff200]"Nope. Not a clue."[/color] He could feel Elena face plant inside his head. He noticed he has ran straight into the market area of town. He then turned to a nearby vendor. [color=fff200]"Excuse me. Do you know where the nearest Guild is? I'm a traveling Wizard and need a job."[/color] He asked politely.
