[color=6ecff6]"Whaaaah Umi, we're super late!"[/color]

Running through the streets was a normal girl with an abnormally large sword on her back. She had a thick leather bag in her arms as she ran through the streets heading towards the guild hall. But not just any guild hall: It was Chrana Guildhall, where a new group of adventurers, warriors, and craftsmen were gathering for an epic quest: to stave off starvation! For most it was just fear mongering, but Yumi has it on good info that there's going to be a famine that'll ravage the lands soon. Already her family was working to capitalize on the disaster but Yumi was given a specific task to join these people and learn all she can from them. Befriend them, get them to help her, to talk to her, so she can help her family and their business. To that end Yumi had already been in town for a short while, having spent a better part of her days preparing gifts for her new coworkers.

Soon Yumi would arrive to the guild hall, which was absolutely bustling with activity. All sorts of people were going out and about their lives, either returning to collect pay, heading out for a quest, or gathering fellow adventurers for a job. Yumi had been here before but this would be the first time she was here for official business, and that context alone made this place feel so much more immense. It almost made Yumi nervous. However she steeled herself and continued onwards. She knew where she needed to go. But while it seemed like Yumi  was just walking straight towards the meeting rooms, she was also listening in on recent bits of rumors, gossip, and other possibly important info. Something about a beastkin masquerading as a spirit, some sort of fight happening, and the general affairs of people's lives and concerns. For most people it was useless info, but Yumi has always learned that there is no such thing as useless info. Anything she learns can always be woven into other tidbits of news to either see the full picture, or fabricate one.

Eventually Yumi would arrive to the meeting room. She opened the door as quietly as she could as she entered, closing the door behind her as she bowed. [color=6ecff6]"I apologize for my tardiness! My name is Yumi Umami, and I heard about the job here! I wish to join, and I come bearing gifts."[/color] Yumi approaches the table and sets down various metal hip flasks, each one embroider with the Yozakura-Kai emblem. There was enough for everyone to have one. She would happily pass the flasks around, and anyone who'd open them would be able to smell the beer inside of them. [color=6ecff6]"My father was a baker and brewer, and I'm skilled in both. My mother taught me how to hunt and handle large swords, so I can assist you in the field as well. However my true specialty comes in alchemy, specifically infusing the drinks I brew with magical properties. These flasks contain not just beer, but also a healing elixir that helps rejuvenate your stamina. I call it the Hunter's Brew."[/color]

As Yumi introduced herself, her [url=https://i.imgur.com/SycolVh.png]spirit[/url] companion manifested behind her, floating around playfully. [color=6ecff6]"Oh right, this is Umi! She's my spirit who helps me brew alcohol and helps me here and there. We'll glad to make your acquaintance and I hope you'll take care of us!"[/color] Once the flasks had been passed around, Yumi took a seat. She had to take her sword off her back and carefully hold it so it wouldn't fall over and hit someone. She looked around to everyone to see how they reacted to her gift. She really wished she wasn't late anymore since now she has to figure out who these people are and what they said while she wasn't here. But she'll learn soon enough.
