[h1] [s][color=fff200]Perry[/color][/s] and [color=ed1c24]Elena[/color][/h1] [h2] Location: Phoenix Wing Guild [/h2] Jane Addesson [@Zarkun] Karn/Edo-Karn [@Silver Fox] Elena was surprised by Jane, who had left the stage to approach her. [color=ed1c24]"Yep, that's me."[/color] she said scratching the back of her head. [color=ed1c24]"I, uh, hope it didn't put any bad rumors about the guild out there."[/color] She held her hands up in semi-self defense. [color=ed1c24]"But partying it up like that makes me feel young again,"[/color] She then pointed to herself with her thumb [color=ed1c24]"Plus, Perry's a lightweight and passes out from alcohol, so I get full reign on the body."[/color] She gave a wry smile, [color=ed1c24]"In fact, I bet I could drink anyone at this guild under the table. If you know any jobs like that, I'm your gal.[/color] A cheering caught her attention as she watched a boy bound over to her. She turned towards the approaching face, ready to answer any questions.. She knew there would be a lot of questions and concerns, but she was ready for them. But, she wasn't ready to hear that someone else was in there with Karn. She simply sighed as the boy sniffed at her. [color=ed1c24]"So you two got stuck with each other too, huh?"[/color] she asked crossing her arms which unintentionally accentuated her chest. She was trying to remain calm, because she and Perry had been burned before on people making similar claims, but this one seemed different. [color=ed1c24]"Wasn't because of a botched take-over spell like ours was it?"[/color] she asked raising an eyebrow. She hoped that the other two in her situation might be able to help. If they were like Perry and herself, then they've probably tried studying how to undo this too. [h1] Xing and the food of Magnolia [/h1] Galdin [@Dezuel] Xing had been walking around the town for a few moments, when she spotted a rather regal looking man eating cake. She could tell he was very discerning, from the way he moved and seemed in thought while eating the cake. [color=f7941d]"Aha! Cake! Just one of the many hurdles I will have to overcome to surpass cooks here."[/color] She had never been much for baking the types of cake that were here in the Western lands. She was so used to sweetened bean paste buns instead. It was one of the many things she still needed to learn to cook. Xing raced over towards the man, believing him some kind of food critic, based on the opulent uniform he wore. [color=f7941d]"Western Cakes, huh? How are they here? I tried a couple in Crocus, but thought they weren't anything special."[/color] She asked him, trying to confidently break the ice. [color=f7941d]"You must be quite the connoisseur, given how deep in thought you were."[/color] She was hoping to goad him into revealing more about himself so that she could surprise him with a taste from her food cart. Besides, if a critic this well dressed gave soaring reviews about her food, that may draw out some rivals.
