16 Guild Registration (1/2)
In front of a large, imposing building, a young incubus and barbarian stood side-by-side as they looked at the entrance. Asking her young succubus companion, ”Are you ready?”
Kalin nodded with conviction. Even with all the butterflies in his stomach, he smiled and replied, ”Yes, I'm ready.”
Pushing open the doors, Kalin entered the Adventurer's Guild for the first time. It was a large room filled with various bulletins and reception counters. As they approached one of the counters, they were greeted by a young woman, wearing a white dress shirt and grey slacks, with a red bow around her neck. ”Welcome to the 18th branch of Den. Are you here for a request?”
Mei smiled at the young woman and responded and rubbed the top of Kalin's head affectionately, ”I'm here to get this one registered.”
”One moment, please.” The receptionist reached under the counter and grabbed a plate similar to the one that appeared when Kalin got his status. ”I just have to ask a few questions before we proceed, is that okay?” She asked as she turned to Kalin.
”Yes!” He responded somewhat loudly, causing the receptionist to smile at his nervousness.
”Have you ever been registered in any branch of our Guild before?”
”No.”
”Have you ever been arrested for a serious crime or gone to prison?”
”No.”
”Do you agree to follow the rules of conduct according to the rules of the Adventurer's Guild?”
”Yes.”
”Do you understand that the Guild reserves to take away or give privileges based on your performance and character?”
”Yes.”
”Do you agree to pay a mediation fee to the guild upon completion of a quest?”
”Yes.”
”Do you understand that you may be subject to fines if you are unable to complete a quest.”
”Yes.”
After writing a couple thing on a notebook, she said, ”Alright, the only thing left is insert some mana.”
Kalin placed his hand on the plate injected some mana. On the slate appeared the following:
Kalin
Rank: 0
Quest Points: 0
”Simply enough, your rank corresponds to how many digits of Quest points you have. There's no limit, but the higher your rank, the better the benefits.” The guild lady informed Kalin of the rules. ”There are no real restrictions on who can receive what quests, but you have to be approved by the Guild and additionally requestor approval (depending on the nature of the quest) before receiving a quest. Though you can change it later, I will be acting as your advisor for now. My name is Pauline, and I'll be in charge of approving quests for you.”
Pauline was an attractive human woman with blonde hair and glasses. Her hair was wavy and pulled into a bun. She was slightly taller than average and had a somewhat large pair of breasts.
Kalin held his plate in his hands and became unable to hold in his excitement. Turning to Mei, Kalin exclaimed, ”Look, I'm an adventurer now!”
Ignoring the surrounding people that turned their heads to look at the commotion, Mei just patted Kalin's head before saying, ”That's amazing, isn't it?” After saying that, she turned to the guild lady and said, ”Is there anything else? If not, we'll be heading out for the day.”
Pauline just smiled and said, ”No ma'am, that's all. Have a great day.”
Having accomplished what they needed at the guild today, Kalin and Mei headed back to the inn where they were to meet up with Liliana. They walked with their hands clasped as Mei smiled at all the different facial expressions Kalin had as he observed the city. As was common when he was in awe or excited, Kalin wasn't talking much, but there was a large crooked grin on his face and a sparkle in his eye. Mei guided him through the streets as he somewhat absentmindedly followed her.
Though they didn't take long to arrive at the inn, when they arrived that the inn they were staying at, Liliana was already sitting at one of the tables, waiting for them to arrive.
