No sooner had Salem began relaxing, that it was interrupted by the sound of his phone, vibrating against the countertop of the bathroom. He lazily opened one eye to peer at the light emanating from the phones side. It wasnt Pink, nor Purple, nor Green or Yellow, therefore it wasnt a text from his family. A long sigh escaped him as he closed his eyes again, only to reopen them as he slowly got out of the water. Salem reached for a soft green towel and dried off his hands before grabbing his phone.
Mr.Spellman,
Your presence is expected for dinner tonight at Princess Ryner’s manor. A guard will be along in an hour to guide you there. Black tie attire is expected.”
Salems eyes widened as he read the message. It was one thing to host parties, but to attend them? He hadn't done so since he was a child. Salem shook his head and quickly went to his contacts to search for Aaron, surely hed know what to do. After a moments search he began to realize that not only did he forget to get Aaron's information, but Lilies and Lucans as well. All right, one hour, that's all the time given to prepare. As if he was in auto drive, Salem quickly made his way towards the room, reaching beneath the bed, and pulling out a vintage suitcase. Upon opening it, there sat a tuxedo. The jacket was a beautiful forest green colour, with tail coat that ran down to above his knees; it had antique golden buttons and some golden embroidery along the seams. The waistcoat was an earthen brown with the same antique golden buttons as the jacket. The dress shirt was a lighter shade of brown that seemed to gradient from the waistcoat. The pants matched the jacket in forest green colour and finally the shoes were a beautiful Oxford, tan leather dress shoes.
Salem smiled at the familiarity of it all and quickly began to get dressed. He moved over towards his desk and grabbed a few items, a pendant hidden beneath his shirt, a set of jade beads to tie his hair up, a quick pet of cricket for good luck and then finally a green apple. He took a quick bite, as his grandma always told him it brought serenity for special occasions. The rest was left for cricket to eat at his leisure. The whole ordeal took him about 20 minutes. He stepped out into the living room and awaited the driver.
Salem began to explore his new dorm for a moment, attempting to spy a glimpse of Lucan if he was there. Silence. Nothing but the sounds of cricket chirping could be heard in the distance. A soft sigh was let out, slightly disappointed at the whole ordeal, but he could try to make the most of it. Salem headed back into his room and opened the lid to his Record Player. He pulled out a Vinyl of Lana Del Rey, dropping the needle to a familiar track. A soft thud could be heard just before the small sound of a click. The slow and melodic sound of needle on vinyl just before the notes to "Lust for Life" began to play. Salems bedroom door stayed opened as the sounds reverberated across the building, drowning out any loneliness and creating a space of indulgence. He slowly made his way towards the tub as the record continued to play in the background
"Take off, take off Take off all your clothes Take off, take off Take off all your clothes Take off, take off Take off all of your clothes
Salem slowly undid his top, letting it slide down his shoulders then against the bathroom floor. What appeared to be a slender body was revealed to be fully toned muscles with a few scars, his hair was let down, cascading onto his shoulders as he finished undressing and stepped into the hot bath. He lazily reached towards his left and opened up a small chest that contained some homemade bath bombs his aunt made for him. The smooth scent of Chamomile permeates the air as he sunk lower into the tub, now chin deep, and allowing the music and atmosphere to take him away.

River stood there slightly agitated by not only ZKs recklessness, but also Cecilias agreeance with him, and what's more...that she wasnt wrong. He watched at Willow and her civally traded and discussed the wolf pelts while Prome snatched away a crystal before his mind was snagged by ideas of grandeur again. He snapped his fingers loudly to get everyones attention, including Prome. If there was one thing his last guild taught him, it was that some semblance of structure is needed. "Alright. Moving forward I think it's best that all loot is discussed before we go pawing at it. Any loot that isnt needed may go into the guild chest, and our lovely leader Karuu here can help settle any disputes. That sound reasonable to everyone?" River walked over to the last remaining crystal and tossed it towards Karuu "Think fast! Crystals are a vital item, they help casters, like me and Willow, repair our gear. That includes our wands that are crucial to casting. Things like this we may want to keep in guild storage so that we can use them as needed to repair gear."

The fight had finally ended, or so River had thought. A sound came from their right, a rustling in the bushes, as soon as ZK stepped out of the bush, River cracked his whip by Zks feet, signaling a warning. His eyes finally realised who it was and his expression completely changed. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Zeke! I didnt know it was you!" there was a slight pause as he then realized his absence in the entire fight. "Sorry I didnt hit you! Where were you?! You could've been killed! What if those wargs and Trainer appeared at you and not us? Youd be dead! D.E.A.D. Dont you dare rush ahead of us like that again...but good job on finding the totem. Saved Pepper and me some time I suppose. Did you destroy it or just find it and report back?"

River watched as the battle continued, the enemies weakening, some actually dying. The first warg seemed to get cocky and pounced towards Willow, that wouldnt fly in Rivers book. With a quick, swift, motion, River cracked his whip to his left in front of where Willow stood. "Ubi, to Willows front! Attack the Warg. Pepper, to me. You've done great girl." Ubi, the genie, moved towards willow, a schimitar in each hand. He slashed at the Warg with elegance, first a strike with his right and then his left as he spun around to deal the blow. Pepper flew back to Rivers side, perching on his shoulder as he began to raise his wand towards Tower. Small green swirls began to encircle Rivers feet as his wand lit up green at the tip. A quick flick caused the glow to stretch to a beam and hit Tower, causing a brilliant green aura to shine off him for a moment. "Healing Beam!"
River took a second to assess the situation and who he should attack next and with that a cooldown popped off again. perfect River once again lifted his hand up toward the sky, arcing it downwards as Lightning began to form at its tip and then became consumed "Recharge!" His wand quickly jutted towards the Trainer as a brilliant bolt of Lightning Shot out and struck him. "Lightning Bolt!" >>Energize Proc A second bolt erupted from the want and diverted itself to Warg 2, dealing double damage, the scent of burnt fur and flesh permeating the air. As a final measure River lashed out his wand towards the Trainer "Shock! River was now coated in more static the before, his movements seemingly getting faster as faster.
