[quote=@PaulHaynek] "[color=f26522]Well then, welcome aboard Ozmandius Skyway.[/color]" Bart shook your extended hand. "[color=f26522]I'm sure you'll be a big help to The Guild.[/color]" "[color=f26522]Now then, it's getting a little too late for you to undertake a quest so I suggest you just sit back and relax for now.[/color]" Bart suggested to you. "[color=f26522]Although, can you tell me more about yourself? Like why you want to explore this... monster-human-economy things? And in turn, you can ask me anything about The Guild though I cannot guarantee that there's an answer for all of them.[/color]" "[color=f26522]You can also see our members who are still here. I believe Haley and Talia are here. They're a Siren and a Cyclops respectively.[/color]" [/quote] [color=orange]"Heheh, Ozzy's fine Master Bart."[/color] He grinned, his teeth kind of showing a bit of fangs to them. The news came as a bit troubling but he completely understood. [color=orange]"I appreciate it, but while I wait for a new job to come in, I could tidy up around here. Maybe if you have a broom."[/color] He offered taking a minute to observe the room and trying to pick up some intuitive evidence of how these folk live. When Bart asked about him, Ozzy wondered a moment. His cape seemed to unfurl into a pair of owl like wings, he gave them a good flap before letting them come to a rest. [color=orange]"Im actually a harpy myself. Owl subspecies. My parents are both scientists. My dads an anthropologist, my mother is, well she was a librarian. She could call herself a diplomat now. Ever since the Demon Lord showed up, there's been entire monster cultures springing up all over the world. Some monsters are more communal then others, while others a secluded, or even predatory. Plus you have magic adding in a whole new chaotic pile to the mess of things that could effect society. And you know the Church has been against them since the beginning. My parents, and a few others have proposed developing diplomatic liaisons between the different cultures, even developing something they are calling embassies in Demon, Human, and Monster Lands so that differences can be worked out peacefully. It's like neutral territory when cultures could meet and discuss. It's gotten alot of popularity in the Monster Friendly lands when we brought the ideas to officials, not so much in lands that are under the Order's and Churches' Thumb."[/color] He took a chair nearby Bart, quite happy to give his wings and legs a break. [color=orange]"My job is just to study up on Human Monster Relationships. As cultures become bigger or more advanced, or monster populations become bigger with the propensity to produce more female populations. There's going to competition for land, resources, even husbands eventually. The idea is to nip the problem in the bud and prevent conflict before they even start. That's the theory anyway. My family and the others are playing the long game I guess. I know its kind of a wild stretch but it's a great reason for people to come together around something you know?"[/color] He tried to smile, waiting for any questions Bart might have. [color=orange]"I do have questions, alot of them. What kind of jobs does this Guild take? Who started it? How long has it been running? How many members do you have? What kind?"[/color] He stopped himself, taking a deep breath. [color=orange]"Well... ahem, I mean. What kind of jobs does the Guild take. Hehe."[/color] He blushed with embarrassment. [color=orange]"A siren?"[/color] His head cocked to one side as he wondered about that before going back to his friendliness. [color=orange]"I mean. I'd be happy to meet them. I like to make friends with those I interview. And trust me, It's nothing too personal."[/color]
