Day 3

~Active Event Recorder~

Xzander>> Hello?
The screen turns violently onto Xzander’s face upside down.
Xzander>> I think it’s working.
Female Stranger>> Herrre, lemme see it again.
The screen shakes around.
Female Stranger>> Rrrrr… it’s a bit old, but it worrrks fine, you just have to hold it.
Someone’s belly is blocking the view. Lots of rustling is heard.
Female Stranger>> Try pinnin’ it onto yourrrself. Let’s see herrre…
Xzander>> Ow! Easy.
Female Stranger>> Oh quit yourrr whining.
The screen stabilizes and shows the female stranger who resembles a feline with ears and a tail. Her dyed blue hair was the second aspect you would notice.
Xzander>> Ok I think we’re good. Now how do you turn it off?
Mithra>> Right here.

~~~Recording Ended~~~

~~~Journal Entry 0900~~~

I probably caught that recording down in my journal, this thing is pretty neat. This Elven guy just came up to me when I finished writing yesterday and presented me with this recorder. It’s just a little magic and it records straight into my journal. He also told me that if I do like it, I should purchase a more recent model, one that floats around me and records on its own. That just sounds cool. 60000 gil though… not anytime soon I guess.

Anyway, this cute Mithra taught me how to use the recorder. Her name is Lahlee-Mihngola. She’s an adventurer too. I’m just waiting on her now, she’s going to show me around and help me settle in a bit more.

~~~Active Event Recorder~~~

The screen follows Lahlee into the guild. Lots of adventurers of all sizes are seen standing outside and inside the guild.
Male Hume bartender>> Mornin’ Lahlee, how are ya?
Lahlee>> Morrrnin’ Ron, I’m well. How is business?
Ron>> Ehh… can’t complain. Who’s this you got followin’ ya?
Xzander>> I’m Xzander.
Lahlee>> He’s new herrre, Ron. Any chance on teaching him the rrropes?
Ron>> Sure! Would you like a drink?
Xzander>> Sounds goo…

~~~Error – Recording Ended~~~

~~~Journal Entry 1600~~~

So my recorder exploded on me…. Not fun. Lahlee is trying to fix it again but it might take some time. I should take this time to recap on what I’ve learned from Ron the bartender. Ron is also the guild owner. It seems that people come to him and pay to put up requests. Adventurers then stop by and choose requests as they deem plausible to their abilities. It can be anything from gathering items, monster slaying, errand runs, or even repairing or making items. Sometimes even adventurers post something in the guild. Anyway, Ron’s workers act as the middle man the entire time. When the person brings back what was requested or finishes the task that was asked, Ron’s boys will swap out for the reward. Sometimes it takes a while to receive though. I’m going to hang around for a while and try to make some friends here.

~~~Journal Entry 1900~~~

Crystals are quite important around here. Lots are always on demand. It seems like they are used for just about everything! Lahlee told me that if I find any, make sure that I hang on to them rather than selling them first chance I get. Its dark out so I’m debating whether I should go out and hunt some more, or just call it a day.

~~~Journal Entry 2100~~~

I’m back at the inn. No hunting tonight. I visited the guild to try to find something quick to do, instead I ended up talking to the people there. I learned about something called an Itemizer. Apparently it makes it very easy to carry everything by storing it inside this little disk no bigger than the palm of my hand. I should invest in one. I can see it making my travels a whole lot simpler. Until tomorrow…
