Simon: That took forever.

Josh: It's around midnight right now.

Ethan: Is that GMT?

Josh: What? We're no longer on Earth, Ethan.

Ethan: I seriously don't know what I was thinking.

Simon: Josh and I will cook the meat.

Josh: Sounds good. 

JJ: What are we going to do?

Simon: Look for Vik or Danger.

Ethan: Who's Danger?

*Silence*

Josh: I'll start the fire, first.

Simon: Okay. I'll pick up all the meat and clean them in the nearby river.

JJ: How many pieces are we getting each?

Simon: Depends on how we cook it. Back to work, J.

JJ: Alright.

Ethan: I see Vik!

Simon: Vik? *huffs* Does he have food?

Ethan: *hesitates* No. And I don't see Harry with them.

Simon: He probably went hunting on his own like he said he would.

*Vik approaches the group*

Vik: So, we failed.

Wizzite: Technically, Vik failed.

Vik: Really, Wizz?

Wizzite: Just stating the truth.

Simon: What happened?

Vik: I asked around for leftovers.

Vik: None of the townsfolk had any spare, some were also starving, and once we reached the guild hall, we saw a party having a feast.

Vik: We begged them for food after approaching them, but they said only party members were able to eat at the table.

Simon: What happened after that?

Vik: Wizz suggested us to join them and then leave them.

Ethan: And?

Vik: The party used their magic and figured that we were lying through some truth vision and kicked us out of the guild hall.

Wizzite: But the magic didn't work on Harry, and he got to stay.

Simon: Wait. You're telling me. Harry begged and got in the party to eat?

Lachlan: Yes. And we saw Tobi in the party too. He looked like he got better gear than us.

Simon: Tobi was there too? Tobi and Harry. They've both betrayed us.

Ethan: I wouldn't say that. They're our friends after all.

Josh: They're being smart. Using others as a launchpad.

Vik: So? Simon, do you have any food?

Simon: Not for you guys.

Vik: What?

Simon: We got this meat on our own.

Vik: Didn't you say we were friends?

Simon: This was a lot harder to get then begging for food, okay?

Vik: Please, Simon.

Simon: Fine, but the hunting team gets priority in selecting our meats.

Vik: Thank you.

Simon: Alright. It's done. One for each of us hunters. One for the beggars.

Lachlan: We have to share one piece?

Simon: You're lucky, you're getting one.

Wizzite: Why do I feel like, we're not being friendly here?

Vik: *mutters* Place them in a new world, and they think they're better than us.

...

Chilled: Why do I hear laughter?

Smarty: I hear that too.

Galm: Tom and I will go in first. You guys stay here.

Ze: Got it.

Galm: *opens giant double Guild Hall doors*

Brian: *from a distance* And he said "Phuk-Et".

*Group laughs*

Galm: *approaches the group* Hey, Silver Wolves...

*Groups stops laughing*

Brian: Hey there, Galm and Tom.

Galm: Can I ask you a favor?

Brian: Sure?

Alissa: Wait! Brian, are you sure this isn't a trap?

Brian: *looks around* Ava?

Ava: *eyes turns red* I see four adventurers at the entrance of the Guild Hall.

Brian: Galm? Care to explain?

Galm: They are my friends.

Brian: Why did you leave them at the door?

Galm: *sweats* Only Tom and I know what you guys looked like.

Brian: Ava? Their levels?

Ava: *eyes focused on wall* Only level 1's.

Brian: Ah. I see now. *puts chin in hand* What do you need, Galm?

Galm: Do you know any inns around here?

Brian: Yeah, there's a couple around the Guild Hall. The Guild Hall also serves as a hub for parties and their rooms so if you have a party signed up at the Guild Hall, then you will get sleeping areas too. 

Galm: Can you show us the inns, then?

Brian: Sure. No problem.

Yumina: I'm coming, too.

Brian: I'll be fine, Yumina.

Lynn: It's okay. Ava confirmed the figures.

Yumina: But...

Brian: Alright. Let's go, Galm and Tom.

...

Brian: So what type of inn are you guys looking for?

Ze: Are you Brian?

Brian: Yes.

Chilled: Where's Galm and Tom?

Brian: They should be behind me.

Galm: We're here. *gasps*

Tom: Sorry. I wanted to look at some quests.

Brian: So what type?

Chilled: Cheap?

Smarty: I want to be comfortable.

Aphex: I want a big room.

Ze: Anything's fine with me.

Brian: Tough.

Smarty: No. I want a soft bed.

Brian: Is he serious?

Chilled: He is.

Brian: *sigh*

Smarty: What? All I said was that I wanted a soft bed not a tough one.

Brian: When I said tough, I meant that it's hard to find an inn with all of your needs in mind and not how the bed feels.

Smarty: Oh. I'm sorry.

Brian: Galm? Tom? What type of inn would you like?

Galm: Place to sleep.

Tom: Food.

Brian: Hmmm. Let's try the Sheep's Fur.

Galm: Sheep's Fur?

Brian: It's the name of the place.

Brian: It'll be this way.

Tom: *looks up* It really is called Sheep's Fur.

Ze: You can read?

Tom: Yeah. I was trying to learn the language since you saw that first sign at the boars.

Ze: Can you teach us?

Tom: Sure. Later though.

Galm: Thanks for taking us here, Brian.

Brian: Wait. I'm not leaving yet. I have a special deal, I just received so you guys can use it.

Galm: Are you sure?

Chilled: Special?

Brian: Yeah. It's totally fine. I don't use the inn because I have the Guild Hall and all.

Galm: Thanks.

Brian: Hey Tyrone!

Tyrone: Hi there, Milord.

Chilled: Milord?

Tyrone: What can I do for you?

Brian: Three adjacent rooms for seven nights on me, please.

Tyrone: Got it. Here are the keys.

Brian: Here, Galm.

Galm: Me?

Brian: I'll be leaving now.

Galm: Okay. Thanks.

Ze: How are we going to divide the rooms?

Chilled: By luck! Let's all put the keys here and shuffle.

Chilled: Then without opening our eyes, we all choose a key.

Tom: I got room 2.

Ze: Same. Roommates for life. *high fives* *opens door*

Chilled: Tom and Ze in Room 2.

Aphex: I got room 3.

Galm: I got room 1.

Smarty: I got the same.

Chilled: So Smarty and Galm in room 1.

Smarty: No. I got the same as Aphex. 

Aphex: *opens door*

Chilled: So Smarty and Aphex in room 3.

Chilled: Me and Galm in room 1.

Galm: *opens door*

Galm: Wow. Look at this, Chilled.

Chilled: *turns around* What is that?
