Charles chuckled in a subtle manner and fixed his sunglasses "This is the first time you've been informed about it." still with the key-in-hand Astra would soon enough be able to head to her very own room!

Indeed, the girls appearance certainly seemed to draw a fair amount of attention. Had it not been so late in the day, it was likely the girls arrival into the town had been met with far more stray gazes than her current return.

Though it was certainly a mixed relief, as considering how incredibly late it had been... no shop would be open! Clothing shopping would have to wait for tommorow!

If Astra headed to her room, she'd find it on the second floor of the building, in a hallway consisting of atleast 12 rooms total, each one bearing a clear number. Reaching the room marked 8 would reveal it to be quite humble indeed.

There seemed to be a dresser, a large chest for item storage and a single simple bed with a small window above it. Without a rug or any pictures on the walls its simple wooden build dominated the room with only the linen sheets adding some color to the room. The girl would certainly need to put a bit of work to truly make it her own!

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

As Astra thought about it, she realized she probably couldent get away with shopping so late. Oh well, I'll just have to put it off till tomorrow, or later. Astra continued on her way as she thought, and by the time she reached her room, she was on the second floor.

Opening the door, Astra looked around and saw the few things in the room. Hmmm, well then that just means there is potential to make this my own! Astra was excited, if she stayed here according to her plan to establish herself, then she could have some time to decorate.

She decided to quickly take off her upper clothes and makeshift shirt and jump in bed. She to get up early to get done all the stuff she wanted to do. Shopping, maybe some exploring, and doing some waitress work. Over all an easy day, unless something unexpected happens!

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

With that the girl would soon enough finally lie down in her private bed and after days of adventuring went for a rest, hoping nothing unexpected or bad would happen while she all too helplessly slept... Her door left unlocked.

Astra would subtly open one eye, quickly looking over the morning-light room... Any creepy bandits? Devilish demons? Sneaky perverts?! Yet with the single birdy singing at the girls window, seemed just as Charles promised the girl was completely and utterly safe while she rested in the guild.

Doing her morning stretches, Astra would soon enough be ready to go! And with her hefty coinpouch all filled up, the girl could hardly wait... It was time to buy herself some upgrades to her kit!... or well at the very least something comfy to wear once again.

Astra knew there was an armorsmith, a leatherworked and a tailor in town. Yet to whom she'd head for her new armor was entirely up to her!

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

When Astra woke up, she had the sudden realization, she forgot to lock her door! Sitting up in a fright, Astra looked around. Luckily it was as Charles said, this place seemed safe.

Astra quickly got up and began her morning rituals. Starting off the day in a good way, is the best way to wake up! The stretches and workouts that she was doing, we're all taught to her by Evan, naturally Astra thought of him while doing them. It's been such a short period since he has been taken, but so much has happened. Astra was reflecting over what had happened so far.

Let's start off a new day! Astra thought to herself as she walked out the door, dressed and with her trusty sword. Oh and with her coin purse, can't forget that today!

Astra had thought up what she wanted to get. She actually grew found of how her recent clothing had allowed for such movement. Although it was embarrassing, she couldent deny she didn't feel a little rush at how everyone looked at her. If she combined her previous outfit and the recent one, then she would have her leather protection, and her free movement.

Onwards to the tailor's, and then the leatherworker! Astra had a little hope to her step as she moved out into the town.

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

Seemed recent events certainly change Astras reluctance to ever show off any bit of her body! Be it Zanas magic... or Zanas activities with her, after that days events the girl certainly felt like a whole new her! Yet... even this new her felt a little embarassed walking around in the patchwork clothing, if only due to its low quality!

Astra knew that the Tailor was in the North district of town, thus after a brief walk soon enough the girl arrived to the "Golden Needle"! Designs and styles of all manner seemed to be on display! From basic shirts to evening gowns, from skirts to jeans and even whole lingerie displays in the more tucked away corner of the shop... the tailor seemed to have absolutely everything! Albeit... most of the clothing was certainly not shy about showing at the very least a little bit of skin.

"Hello~" a pleasant voice echoed out as a quite cute blonde girl approached Astra and seemed to freeze up upon seeing her proper "Oh... Someones in need of a wardrobe upgrade, huh?" she'd giggle cheerfully and beam her an encouraging smile "If there's anything you like just let me know! I'm Sara by the way!"

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

After a short period of time, Astra managed to make it to the north of the town, where the tailor was. Everything about it screamed high quality. It had amazing and beautiful clothing of all kinds, and just amazing sights! When Astra was stunned slightly by the sight, a cute girl suddenly appeared next to her. Jumping slightly at the girl speaking, Astra says, Haha, yeah. My last outfit was destroyed in battle so I was hoping to find a new one here. I'll call you over when I find something I like! With that, she begins to look at all the different clothing.

When she got a closer look at everything, all of the clothing seemed to show off the wearers body! Although Astra still found it slightly embarrassing, she still wanted the agility she would get from them. She would spend some time looking around, before she a found a

she liked. It was composed of a white shirt and short skirt. The shirt only really covering the front of her and her lower back, while managing to emphasize her breasts! Astra kinda grew fond of her last short skirt, as this one was just like it. Like the last, this one basicaly shows all of her legs.

Deciding to buy this outfit, Astra calls out. Sara? I found one I like! When she arrives, Astra holds out the clothes, and asks, What do you think?

 

[Ubberific]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

Sara would quickly appear once again "Oh~ God eye! I've modeled this following the stories of the Elven Queen, Izzalith. They say one glance at her would turn most mortal men to stone, yet few resisted the temptation." she'd giggle "But don't worry, this is just an outfit. No petrification spells included." she'd wink to Astra and take the outfit off the stand, before leading the girl to the changing room.

The outfit fit like a dream! Infact, looking over herself in the mirror Astra couldn't help, but feel her confidence absolutely soar! Sure it was a little showy, but the way it fit her body was just far too beautiful to pass!

Stepping outside, Astra gave a spin and a smile to Sara as well as the question "What do you think?" though the tailor was already clapping mere second after appearance "Thank goodness it fits!" Sara smiled sheepishly "Usually my standard outfits dont fit the local girls upper bodies..."

Still it was the easiest choice Astra had to make yet, the price however... bid to disagree. The girls face quickly turned pale as she'd note the actual price tag of the outfit... at 80 denarii?!! "Don't worry, Adventurers guild discount will reduce that to.... 30 denarii." Sara quickly rushed to calm Astra down!

"But... You're an adventurer right? And judging by your story, you're not one to shy away from danger." Sara caught Astra attention, before the purchase was made "It's always heartbreaking to find out my works were torn to shreds by the wildlife, burnt by magic or just ruined from the dirt."

"Perhaps you'd like to purchase an enchantment?" Sara beamed Astra a smile, as she'd take out what seemed to be a small patch no bigger than a coin with a single rune on it "They're expensive, but with this even if your outfit is ripped apart so long as the rune remains intact it reconstruct itself."

"But even with the adventurers discount... it will cost a hundred denarii." Sara innocently rubbed the back of her own neck "S-sorry... it's a rare and powerful enhancement. But! You can buy it now and pay me back later!" seemed Sara noticed that Astras coin-pouch was far from bulging.

 

[theguy09]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

Astra giggled at Sara's sense of humor. Haha, I have a feeling that enchantment would be pretty bad around here. Astra quickly followed Sara around. She was excited for trying out this new outfit! When she got into the changing room, Astra was astounded by how good it fit her! She looked absolutely gorgeous in it! She would be lying if she was to say that she couldent help but have more confidence in her looks.

Taking a step outside, Astra shows herself off to Sara, and was a little embarrassed at the compliment to her own somewhat generous bust. W-well then I guess this was practically made for me then! Astra says as she couldent help but do another twirl.

When Astra finally got a look at the price tag, her face fell in sadness. She couldent afford that! But it quickly recovered at Sara's discount, and at the explanation of the rune, Astra started to contemplate it. Hmmm, I probably will get this damaged easily again, and I don't want to have to keep looking for new dresses. Ah, it will just have to be an investment for now then! With her decision made, Astra agrees to buy it now and repay it later! Ill do it! Do you need me to take it off so you can put that patch on?

 

[Ubberific]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

Sara seemed to light up at Astras agreement, as she'd quickly duck under her counter to pull out a small parchment, writting down something on its "Alright... Just sign here. Think of it as an assurance of paying me back." she'd nod sliding the piece of paper to her...

Looking over the parchment there was just too darn many words to read and with Astra as excited as she was, the girl likely just signed... if only so she could celebrate her new wonderful appearance!

"No need. Just don't move..." the girl took the rune and placed the rune on her new outfit, only for it to glow briefly and disperse into brilliant azura dusty trails. Trails that seemed to quickly rush to the outfit!

"There! Now... Dont expect it to recover from absolutely all damage quickly. The rune has a limited amount of magic to it, which it may need to recharge. Just so long as even a little bit of the outfit survives you should be fine." Sara smiled "Trust me, you'll know how it works, when it needs to work." the girl gave Astra a smile.

Paying the 30 denarii for the purchase and signing the contract for the rune, Astra was free to go wherever she wished! Now donning likely the most beautiful outfit she ever had!

 

[theguy09]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

Astra watched in some interest at what Sara was doing. She seemed to be grabbing a contract, I've never really signed a contract myself before. Astra thinks to herself as the contract was put in front of her. Ughhh, there's so much on the page. Astra just skimmed the page quickly before signing it!

Astra stayed still as she watched Sara putting the patch on to her new clothing! She actually owned this now! She was astonished at how the magic worked, it actually dissolved and spread through the outfit!

Thanks Sara! Astra said as she handed over the denarii for the purchase! I'll see you later! Waving good bye, Astra headed to the leather worker to grab her some protection!

 

[Ubberific]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

Once again outside Astra would give her new outfit a once-over, spurring a pleasant goosebump up her body... Still if she was going to make its all-purpose it had to have some protection to it as well! Or perhaps the girl could buy a whole new armor set when she sets out to danger!

Whatever her goal Astra would head back to the Western district and to the armorer there! Finding the shop proved relatively easy as it seemed to sell both plate, chain and leather armors as well as quite a few reinforcements for most any clothing or armor "Hello?" Astra called out... and just when she thought she escaped the particulary 'gifted' girls of White Lilly, the owner stepped out into view "Whatsup?" she'd ask with a cheekily smile, before quickly looking over the girls outfit "Can I... help you with something?" the girl coughed, her tone subtly shifting but in a way Astra couldn't quite pinpoint.

 

[theguy09]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

Once outside, Astra had so many goosebumps running up her back. She couldent tell if it was because of her plain excitement, or because she was wearing such an outfit! She started off, heading to the leatherworker's, she needed some armour, either for this dress, or on its own!

When she arrived at the shop she called out for the owner. At first she didn't get a reply, and Astra’s minstrel wandered for a second. I wonder who the shop owner will be this time. Finally Astra saw the owner, another beauty! With her own beautiful smile, Astra says, Hello! I'm Astra, and I was wondering if you could help me get a set of leather armour to go with this outfit? Like some leg guards, and arm guards.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

The girl approached Astra and quickly looked her over, before leaning out and nodding, yet a subtle blush had clearly appeared on her face "Well depends what you'd want to do with it. I could craft some bracers, shoulders, knee and shin guards." the girl seemed to think briefly "Either silver and white or gold and white would work."

"We could try and overlay some leather fittings as well, it would give you more protection, but it wont make the er... outfit as flexible." she'd explain, looking for Astra to make her order.

 

[theguy09]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

Astra stayed still as to allow the girl to look her over. Astra was surprised to see a small blush forming on the girls cheeks after she looked Astra over. H-huh, I wonder if she thinks I look good. Astra thought to herself. She herself couldent help but find the girl to be good looking also, and with the girl's interest in Astra, Astra’s cheeks also blushed slightly.

Ahhh, I-I guess the gold and white sounds good. I think it would go well with this, as for the leather fittings, I don't need them. I rather like my mobility. Astra smiles to the girl as she talks. Do you need to get some measurements from me? Astra asked

 

[Ubberific]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

The armorer girl smiled wryly "The gold enhancements is more for showing... you'll likely to lose them. I'd suggest either silver or steel, up to you." she'd nod firmly "M-measurements? No, it's just standard reinforcement it's almost like a fits all. I'd just need to custom craft them to fit your outfit." the girl smiled kindly to Astra, still with a lingering blush "But I could get to work on gold-based enchancements for 80 denarii, silver for 30 and steel for 15."

"I'll need a day or so to craft them, but drop by then and I'll help you fit them." the girl gave another nod, before quickly adding "I'm Melly by the way."

 

[theguy09]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

True, I didn't really think that one through, did I? Astra asked the girl. After listening to the rest of what the girl was saying, Astra says, Yah, I'll go with the silver instead. And alright price and still looks good! I can pay for them now by the way. If she wanted the down payment, then Astra would give her 30 denarii and say, It was nice to meet you Molly! I'll see you tomorrow I guess! With that she waves goodbye and heads for the door.

I spent a lot of money today, guess I should go make some of that back! Though I probably shouldn't leave the town till I get that armour, so an easy job it is! Deciding on her next move, Astra heads for the Guild.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

"It's... Melly." Melly glanced aside and smiled kindly to Astra, even giving back the additional coins the girl gave by accident! "Alright, drop by after or right before lunch. I'll have your upgrades ready!" the armored beamed her a confident smile, before Astra was free to continue...

Counting her coins, the substantial sum she had certainly took quite the major hit! As the 70 coins she had now turned to a measly 10... as well as the debt of a hundred coins to the tailor! She really needed a well-paying job!... yet without armor the girl was unwilling to leave the safety of the city for now.

Whatever the case may be, if she was looking for a oddjob or an adventure, she knew exactly where to look! As usual the Adventurers guild had its fair share of acivity and as even more usual... or perhaps just a little bit strange Charles was in his usual spot "Welcome back." he'd stand up and greet the girl "Looking for a new job?"

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

Hehe, sorry about that. I'll see ya around lunch time then! With that, Astra runs off, embarrassed at her mistake! On her way to the guild she couldent help but look at her significantly diminished coin purse! Time to find myself another job! Astra thought excitedly to herself as she soon arrives at the Guild.

Inside, there is still the rambunctious crowds of adventures gathered around tables and such. Oh and as always Charles doing his best at his position. Greeting him, Astra says, Yep, just spent all my money so need some more! With that, Astra starts to look through the book of jobs available.

Inside she sees three jobs that interest her. She asks for the descriptions of the jobs, Bar Waitress, Bar Dancer and helping out for the festival!

 

[Ubberific]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

Charles would nod and with a swift motion of his hand pull out three pages from the massive book "While these are unorthodox jobs for an adventurers guild, it is not uncommon for us to aid the town in much more simpler tasks."

He'd point to two pieces of the paper "These two jobs are looking for young female adventurers to aid as entertainers for the Silken Embrace. The jobs do not include any other tasks than performing as a dancing talent or just as a waitress in the club." Charles would fix his glasses adding "The Waitress tasks rewards twenty denarii, while the dancer job rewards forty denarii."

Next the man moved to the final piece of paper tapping it "This is a private request from the town mayor. It includes assistance in preparation of the town festival. Completion of this task will be rewarded by twenty denarii."

 

[theguy09]

Re: The Rogue Knight (theguy09) GMed by Ubberific

Hmmm, these are some pretty wierd jobs for Adventurers. Astra agreed in her mind as she continued to listen to the descriptions of the jobs. She was interested in them all, though she didn't really know much about that dancer thing, as she had never danced before. Though it did offer some good money. After thinking it through, Astra still had a huge debt to Sara. So she might as well try and pay it off sooner than later.

I'll take that Bar Dancer request Charles. What's the time and place? Astra asked.
