I'm really interested in this, but a bit wary about throwing in my hat, because I'm not sure if I would be as dedicated as what your looking for.
"Oh. Good." Jyonmi sighed, obviously relieved they were going on a mission with a better chance of survival. "Very good. I think we could actually be of help in that."

"And your using that word again." Lemmy pipped. "Some people have no shame." The doll crossed his thin arms across his small chest, and shook his head. "Such a shame." He paused, and turned its attention towards the newcomer. "Hey, he's new, right, or is he someone else we should know, but don't?" Before Jynmi could say something, the doll hurried towards the bar and took a seat towards the new arrival. "Hey, are you someone we should know. We don't, just so you know, but it's just a thing with us. We didn't really do too well, paying attention or asking questions the last time we were around people. I'm not saying it would matter if we got to know each other. especially if you got to know him." The doll pointed at its partner. "But it might help one day. You never know. For example, some random lunatic, with a pension for guild trivia, could one day corner one of us, put a knife to our throat, yours or mine, whichever, this is a hypothetical thing so its doesn't matter, and demand that we name all the guild members we've ever had the opportunity to meet, or we'll get the blade shoved through our neck out the other side." The doll paused for a moment and compared the wood of the bar to that which it was made of. "You know what. I don't have a throat, so it would probably make more sense if you were threatened?"
The doll stopped again, and noticed the other character at the bar, the one drinking apple cider. "Hey." Lemmy waved over at the character from where he was seated. "Same question. If not, you were being polite, and didn't ease drop on what I was saying, what's your name? There's more to it, but I think that's the core of the question."

"Alright Sophia, I guess I'll see you in an hour then." He nodded a farewell, and moved over to the corner, and stared at the wall. He did this, in full knowledge that someone might stop and stare, which was nerve wrecking, but it was the best way to allow him to concentrated. Jynmi didn't bother paying attention to Lemmy because it would only make him blush, and instead he was focused on the mission. Sophia said she should get prepared, and it seemed like a good idea, but he didn't know where to start, or what he should try and get. He took a good long time before he accepted the fact he had no idea, and decided to ask the guild master. "Excuse me, ma'am." He said as he stood behind the woman. "This is kind of going to be our first mission. I mean, we've done jobs before, but nothing so, how shall I say, combat heavy, and I was wondering what you would suggest for preparing."
What kind of magic would come about from the conceptual dichotomies?
Oh cool. Then, I'd prefer black.
Eh. Either is fine with me. I could always create a female character.
What beetle does that leave?
Is my spot still there, or did someone else fill it?
"A team up, huh?" Jynmi put his hand to his chin and rubbed it like he was hoping for a genie to come out so he could wish for the decision to be made for him. "The S class would be more than enough money for each of us to split. Then, there's the danger." There was also having to deal with so many new people at once, which scared him more than the danger, honestly. "Could work out ok."

Lemmy watched him, patiently, for a few seconds, before he lost his. It takes an average of four seconds. "Oh for crying out loud! How difficult of a thing is it." It, he(it prefers he despite the like of anatomical structures which could be used to distinguish gender) threw his hands up in exasperation. "Why do you need to make things so difficult?" He turned his back on Jynmi to look at, or position himself in the direction so that the painted on eyes were aimed towards, Sophia. "Young lady." It said, trying to puff out his chest, but only succeeding in leaning forward. "You've got yourself a few extra hands on board. Well, technically, you only have two since Jynmi here." He cocked his thumb back at the human. "Isn't really good for the heat of the moment stuff. He's more of a." A short pause. "He's more of a tinkerer, and a builder, but he'll make good cannon fodder if worst comes to worst. Don't worry, I'll see to it that everyone is well guarded with his life. "

"Gee thanks." Jynmi muttered, glaring at Lemmy. "Well, I guess we're in. I can't think of any really good reason for us not to be."

"Right, and besides, if this makes things easier on you. You don't have a say in the matter, because I'm the one that's going to be doing the heavy lifting."

Jynmi shrugged, realizing there was a silver lining. "Eh. He's abusive, but at least I can reserve the right to say I told him so if this goes bad. "
Ooh. This looks like it has potential. I'm in(terested!)
Jynmi didn't see the warning above the guild master's head, because he was too busy trying to remember where he'd seen the woman's face before. Lemmy didn't see the message, because he doesn't have eyes. There were other ways he could have detected the letters, but they only worked if he was paying attention, and he preferred not do to that, because Jynmi becomes dependent and starts asking him where things were left.

"Oh!" Lemmy said, hoping a little, and swirling around on the ball of his foot. "Jynmi, apparently she's the boss. So, yeah, you didn't know she was the boss. Ha. Wait?" The head titled, and swirled back without the rest of the body following. "Uhm, did you call me a doll, ma'ma?"

The tone was enough to get Jynmi's blood to bounce around inside his veins like little panicked mice that wanted more than anything to jump ship. "Lemmy!" HE quickly moved in front of the little doll so his back was to everyone else's, at least the guild master's, and gave the secret sign for Lemmy to drop it. It wasn't much, but if anyone else were to see it, they would just think he was adjusting a zipper.

Lemmy paused for a moment. It was a long moment, closer to a minute than an actual moment, before he let out a long sigh that sounded like there might have been some real lungs behind it, possibly from a backdoor vendor, and clapped his wooden hands together. He rubbed them vigorously in sarcastic excitement. "Well, enough introductions with the hierarchy, let's take a look at those jobs and see what's the easiest bang for our buck. Not that we have any bucks, mind you, we're not hunters, farmers, or regularly employed." He turned, and strolled over to check out the jobs on the board.

"Oh. That was close." Jynmi shook his head, and let his head hang uselessly against his chest, which was when he saw Sophia's message. At first he didn't get it, but then he did, and his head filled with the failure of an awkward start was no longer too heavy to be held up right. He looked up and smiled at the young woman, and gave a small thumb's up. "Jynmi, me boyo." Lemmy called. "Did you want to get this done, or not? If so, just say it, and I'll be as limp as useless a man without family's life insurance." To which Jynmi could only respond to by hurrying over, because he knew Lemmy would do it, and wouldn't stop till he thought his point was made.

"Okay. Okay. I'm here." Jynmi said.

"Yes you are, but you should've beaten me. After all, you need the money more than I do."

That was true so Jynmi decided not to debate it. "So which job should we do?"

"What do you mean we? What's this we? When has it ever been a we?"

"I help, equally."

"Oh yes, you do. I forget. Tell me, remind me, because I forget. When was the last time you got a slash across the chest."

"Tuesday."

"oh yeah. That crazed slasher's wife. Okay. That's one. When did you get a slash before that?!"

"Last week."

"Oh yeah. The crazed slasher. He was an odd one. Man, the things people do just to spend some a lone time with cows." The doll did its best impersonation of a shudder. "Alright, you win this round." The doll paused. "Well then, I guess its we, for now. What job do you want, because I don't care. They all look like their going to require a lot of effort so its all the same to me."

"Hmmm." Jynmi rubbed his chin, trying to look like he was carefully weighing the options. It was then that he noticed Sophia, who didn't look very pleased at the jobs. "Hey?" He said, turning to her. She looked like she was worried about something, and he thought it was possibly the fear of loosing the job she wanted.. "What job are you going to take? Don't worry, I'll let you have first dibs."

malmshodes, I honestly find your posts entertaining enough to compensate for nearly a day of posting ='D Lemmy's just... awesomeThanks for the head up though! Also, I would have replied in IC by now, but I'm waiting for others to pipe in. We haven't heard from some at all, so I'll wait a little and hope they post.

Awe. Thank you. ^.^ I'm always happy to hear stuff like that.
I'm also going to wait to post. There hasn't seemed to have been a lot of action since I've been gone.
