Gwen emerges as the victor but she’s not content at all. Just what on earth was Rylan’s abilities?!

[ ✉ ] — Dirk whistles as he steps into the Wall Market, in search of Komari. He didn’t really know much about the place except that this was one of her jobs, and as he looks at all the peculiar items sitting on the shelves, he grows even more curious. The heck was this place, an antique shop?

He looks away from the merchandise and towards a guy near the back. Must be another employee. Just as Dirk opens his mouth to call out to him, in the hopes that he might know where Komari was, the mailman walks right into the stand that had been holding a vase on display. As a result, it begins to fall to the ground.

“Oh, crap---!” Panicking, Dirk throws his hand towards the vase. As he moves forward, time around him slows, and his own speed accelerates ever so slightly, allowing him to catch the vase just before it smashes into the ground. 

As he stares down at the still intact piece of pottery, he lets out a sigh of relief. Thank the Goddess for time magic.

It hasn’t been long since Gwen took over as Guild Master at Arcadia Explorer’s Guild. She hasn’t gotten used to it, but she’s not new to being a boss. First thing’s first was making going over the inventory of the guild and make sure they had a good stock. There was never a shortage of curious travelers and adventurers wanting to travel, and on the event that a rescue needed to happen, they needed to be ready.

Right now, Gwen signed a delivery for boxes full of equipment for the guild. She won’t be able to carry them on her own-- technically, she can, but it would take too much time-- so she calls for help. She spots one of the members of the guild and immediately called him over. 

Oh of course not! Who’s Matai? I don’t know him.

“...”He begins to sweat, eyes nervously looking around. Was there anyone else around here to hear about this? He doesn’t really see anyone... But he feels a chill down his spine as he prepares to answer, fearing ridicule or being laughed at. Well, trying to avoid the question wouldn’t do him any favors.

“I cried... To a lot of Disney movies... Yes even some like Snow White...”

His face is red as he tries to hide his embarrassment. God was he some little kid? He sure felt like it with how he was crying over such small things...

Popuri didn’t want to admit it, but the moment she entered the store a chill went down her spine. Part of her strongly considered turning right back around, but if she could spend a year with pirates she could surely handle a store, creepy or otherwise! 

Of course, she stood out like a sore thumb with her vibrant pink hair, corset, and flouncy skirt. Like she might’ve mistaken this place for a toy store or candy shop and was too stubborn to admit her mistake and go back out. 

It had been a short while since the fires. No news of where the dragon had gone yet, but Danny was preparing. He was going on that mission, no question about that. He’d been training for it- daily now. Sometimes he’d take the ferry to Leuda, to check out the mines, but he’d go to the Fugue Forest in order to fight monsters as well. 

Whether or not he would have made more progress training with Kathy or Fritz was a moot point. He wasn’t going to see them for a while. He couldn’t face them just yet- knowing he was the one who caused their ship to burn. He wasn’t sure when he would tell them- if ever. But for now... He had to get stronger. So he could beat this thing.

While the outside of the woods was no longer visible, Danny hadn’t gotten very far in before he heard footsteps behind him. He took another two or three steps before stopping, then turned around to see who it was.
