“Finished for the day?” The [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gensin-impact/images/b/ba/NPC_Katheryne.png]receptionist[/url] behind the counter did not look surprised, but given how little Katheryne tended to emote for any occasion, that couldn't necessarily be counted as praise for Frog's adventuring ability. His skills, however, spoke for themselves. Not many adventurers worked in Limsa at all, and fewer still could match his ability. Every day he arrived here at the Aftcastle to get the day's commissions, and if in good form he'd be done with all four and back to collect the rewards before lunch. After jotting down Frog's name and the time in her ledger, Katheryne handed over his rewards. In addition to the typical handful of gil, he received a few shards of purple crystal, which supposedly harbored strengthening properties. Just how to use them, however, was anyone's guess, so those who went to the trouble of earning them typically kept them as pride points.

“Farewell, and see you again on the morrow.” So saying, the receptionist waved Frog away. Whatever the rest of the day held was up to him. In Limsa Lominscuttle Town, there was seldom a dull moment. Even putting aside the constant activities of the navy, a capable warrior could find plenty to occupy his time. Whether that took the form of undersea expeditions into the nearby ocean, a sortie with the seastack city's Half-Genie Hero, or just undertaking maneuvers with the Maelstrom guard, who could say.

Today, however, things were a little different. Whispers abounded among the commonfolk of strange new arrivals, who moved through the hubbub of the city with both wonderment and urgency. This wasn't too surprising, given how rarely the city greeted total strangers, but apparently those newcomers had been carrying around some serious coinage. Stunned townsfolk murmured of sacks and carts stuffed with gold coins, ferried to and fro, but never to the stores and stalls of Hawkers' Alley and beyond.

As Frog left the Aftcastle behind, with no need to deal further with the Maelstrom today, he happened to overhear an exclamation from someone close by. “Look, there's one now!” [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/Aquaria_-_Naija.jpg/150px-Aquaria_-_Naija.jpg]She[/url] pointed out to her [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dota2_gamepedia/images/2/2f/Naga_Siren_Concept_Art1.jpg]friend[/url] excitedly, indicating with less-than-perfect subtlety a certain redhead a ways away. Indeed, the man was a stranger to Frog, both in terms of his appearance and the style of his equipment. He looked ready for battle, and no stranger to it, but he boasted an easygoing and personable face. Right now the face turned this way and that constantly, as if he was searching for something or someone.
