— Adventurer’s Guild —[/center]

Vira woke up grainy eyed in the small room she rented. It was crammed into the corner of the top floor of the building with just a single, small window in one wall opposite the bed. That same wall also held a work table below the window. The intervening space was home to a dozen or so haphazard piles of textbooks and large jars of solutions and chemicals.

Were she to consider it, Vira would care very little that her studies carried the potential to destroy the entire building were she to make too careless of a mistake. Her neighbors would possible be dismayed to know that it was unlike that she would ever consider their thoughts on the matter. Her only thought in that room was typically that of whatever project had currently caught her interest. Right now was an exception.

The first thought on her mind was what to do to make this pounding headache go away and the second was what she should do to make some coin to keep herself afloat for the time being. She reached blindly across the floor, grabbing a slim glass phial and pulling the stopper out. Pulling down the mask that covered the bottom half of her face, she sniffed it and then drank the entire contents.

Vira laid back down again with a blissful sigh, covering her face with an arm. This lasted for just a couple of minutes until she sat up again, remembering that the adventurers guild should already be open and that if she didn’t go now then anything that she would be qualified for would be taken already.

She climbed out of bed and grabbed her satchel from the door.

Vira walked into the guild hall, upright and confident and not at all betraying how terrible she actually felt. Around the room several other adventurers that might have worked with her in the past averted their eyes in an attempt to escape notice. She strode to the desk and tried to peer around a rather short girl with a large axe. Though she couldn’t see most of the content of the posting, she caught the last and most important line.

“I’ll be interested in joining you for that.”

It didn’t matter how many signed on for it, they would all get the same amount.
