From the gates of the Cemetery of Lost Souls, a figure emerges. He is dressed in a fine dark blue overcoat that doesn’t quite touch the ground. He has a black undershirt, black pants, and dark brown boots. The figure has long, wavy brown hair and a pair of glasses sit on the bridge of his nose. He adjusts the diagonal strap of the satchel hanging on his hip before his boot touches the ground outside the graveyard.

Then he reaches into his bag and withdraws a single sheet of parchment. “Hmm…” Spotting the sign for the Adventurer's Guild, he steps through the door.

“Ho there! Welcome!” Julien says loudly, his voice carrying through the mostly empty building.The man with glasses steps inside and looks around. He takes note of the large counter to the left and the few tables spread out through the rest of the guild entrance. Beyond is a doorway leading further into the guild but the faint shimmer over it indicates it may not be easily accessible.“Hi there. I’m looking to receive some assistance.” 

Julien steps down off of a chair he’s using to help him reach the top of the large board bounty board. “Well, you’ve come to the right place. We’re the new Adventurer’s Guild. Come have a seat and let’s discuss the details of your request.”

The stranger steps further in and takes a seat at the table closest to Julien. He adjusts his glasses and looks at the blonde man expectantly. Julien takes a seat across from him and they begin discussing business.
