Hey- it's Karry, right? The guide says your guild does odd jobs and stuff like that. You guys still in business?

Got it! Then we'll start on it... next week?

[Locked]

[markofthewise]

Well if that's the soonest we can start...

[Locked]

[rending-drop.livejournal.com]

Well, we need to finish up this other project first...

[Private]

{Oi... Sokka changes the filter to private.]

Look, you can't tell anyone about this, but this project isn't just for New Feathers. My friend was returned from dying, but he's lost his sense of direction. These signs might be the only way he can navigate the village without getting hopelessly lost for hours.

... [Ooh, that's heavy. But it's a noble purpose.]

...It's not a guild's job to worry about their client's motives, and it's definitely not any of our business to tell other people what those are.

So your secret's safe with us.

[Private]

[markofthewise]

[That's all very professional, but...]

So you get why I want to start as soon as possible, right? Until it's done, he can't go anywhere on his own.

[rending-drop.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we'll get it done, don't you worry. You won't regret asking us!

[Private]

[rending-drop.livejournal.com]

I guess I should make this official, then.

I accept this task in the name of the brightest star in the sky, Brave Vesperia!

[Private]

[markofthewise]

[... uh huh. Sokka just raises an eyebrow at that.]

Scientifically speaking, you could just shorten that by saying "in the name of the sun in the sky", given that on just about any world, the sun is the brightest star in the sky.

[Private]

[rending-drop.livejournal.com]

That sounds dumb. It doesn't have the same ring to it!

Besides, on my world, Brave Vesperia is the brightest star in the sky.

[Private]

[markofthewise]

[He'd argue the point about how a star could be brighter the sun without effectively causing the world to have very little night time, but whatever.]

Just let me know when you get started, I can help out on the work.

[Private]

[rending-drop.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll make an announcement on the journal.

[Private]

[markofthewise]

Thanks! And if you ever need anything at the smithy, just let me know!

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

A little bit of everything, I guess? I do my best to help out!

[markofthewise]

... right. What do you know of carpentry? Or lettering signs?

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

...Nope! I can learn though.

[markofthewise]

Yeah... well that's good. Great. [Maybe he hired the wrong people.\

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

But everyone else in the guild is amazing. I'm just trying to keep up...

[markofthewise]

Maybe you just need some help learning. I understand the great Wang Fire is something of an expert at making signs.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Who's Wang Fire?

[markofthewise]

[... oh right.]

I'm his Sausage Apprentice.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

...He can make signs too?!

[markofthewise]

He's a natural at it!

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

Then do you think I could talk to him, please?

1/2

[markofthewise]

Just a second, I'll go grab him!

[He scoots away and there's some noise in the background...]
