Totsu looked down the streets, walking down the midtown markets and looking at the stalls, spotting a variety of foodstuff as well as a plethora of different variety of items, either gathered, dropped from mobs or crafted by players, nothing that fancy. While there were some things there that would fit her current level they were far away from her current budget which could afford her maybe a few days worth of room and board in the city, with the expectation that she could go do some odd jobs or sidequests for extra chance.

Getting a ping in her system messages they opened it up and chuckled a bit at the overly jovial response, reading it over slowly before looking around, the skyline was rather intimidating now that she was first really sinking her eyes into it and absorbing all of the information around her though there was no doubt which building they were talking about, amidst the various townhouses and city halls there was one which stood out as if flouncing it's significance. 

[quote]"I finished the tutorial, it looks like i will have to learn a lot of things in this game. I picked a Naturalist i think it was, like i absorb plants and it makes my spells more powerful, I'm an Elf, think i did a pretty good job making them"[/quote]

The path towards the objective wasn't that hard but she would have to cut her way through the markets for a stretch and even just from a cursory look it looked like players had a lot of agency over the markets, many of the houses had been converted into shops, tanneries and smithies, a variety of scents barraging her senses while she walked through, some of baked goods, another of tanned hide, yet another of the humid steam coming from the searing furnaces. There were even those who just had smaller stalls along the streets selling whatever, hide from monsters, various teeth, claws, tusks and bones and even raw material such as ores, lumber and other resources.

More curiously there were those who didn't sell tangible goods but rather they sold arguably the most valuable resource of all; Knowledge. They sold maps to dungeons, guides on how to de-activate traps in raids, floor plans of various guilds for use in raiding and general meta knowledge such as today's broken class/skill combo and whatever glitch the developers patched in or out in this cycle of content.

A few tables towards the end just before she took a turn up to the cathedral's courtyard she saw a booth, a large creature, lithe creature with a almost oval looking skull, thin yet elongated with two piercing eyes; front facing. It had four arms, two of which held a book and quill and another two were organizing radiating crystals, their booth sign saying "Scribed Class Crystals" with some of them bearing price tags utilizing currency denomination she hadn't even heard of before.

Suddenly Totsu was interrupted by a game message, opening up the menu and spotting there a small banner saying [color=gold]Guild Invitation[/color] with a timer counting down, 299, 298, 297. Opening it she was prompted with a banner of the guild in question. Offensively pink with white horizontal stripes with two prancing unicorns facing each other and what looked like a rudimentary sketch of the age old trollface between them, with their name up in the header
[h3][color=gold]Rakthor Goldtusk has invited you to:[/color][/h3]

[center][h2][color=00ff00]Large raid guild looking to train new players![/color][/h2][/center]

Blinking a few times, and looking around, not seeing anyone, Totsurugi opened up their system menu and started too type out another message

[quote]Hey Users, Did you just invite me to a guild? I got a message from a "Rakthor Goldtusk" who seemed to be rather fond of pastels and unicorns. Coming to the think of it, you never told me about your character, how will i find you at the cathedral?[/quote]

Totsu finished climbing the set of stairs leading towards the cathedral, coming to a central plaza with a large fountain topped with a statue an important something or other. She slowly sat down on the fountain, using it's ledge as a bench and took out her book, starting to catalog from memory the various spell modifier that they had learned from their time in the tutorial, that is of course until someone approached her;

[color=ce1919]"Hey newbie, my guild and i could use a Naturalist on our team, can you pick ... ... ... ..."[/color]

Totsu knew he had said something, listed off several classes or races no doubt but it just went in one ear and out the other with only a vague recollection of syllables in between, she recoiled a bit and tried to back away from the Half-Giant in front of her. A towering man with gold trims on their armor in every fold and piece, jewels set in their armor in his pauldrons, a large one in his chest and one on his horned helmet all in various different colours, he carried a greatsword on his back which looked ornamental but she couldn't get a clear view of it from here

[color=45bd2a]"I... uh... Sorry i am actually waiting for a friend"[/color] She tried to defend herself, looking around to see if she could spot them around here anywhere

[color=ce1919]"No need to be shy there, my guild is one of the top rated on the server and if you stick with us we can guarantee that you get legendary loot as fast as possible"[/color]

[color=45bd2a]"I'm sorry sir, i'm really not interested... Could you please back off"[/color]

At this point some people were starting to look over their way but so far no one seemed to coming between them, at least no one that they could see past the towering man.
