Today, on this journey with Geb, we do not pick up with him waking up, but rather where we left off with him previously. You see, Geb had just finished a mission with the Martello family, and figured that the day was still young, so he might as well do a little bit more work while he was at it. There was no harm in doing so, so Geb decided he would take his merry old time and just go along with it. Walking through the Oak streets, Geb looked around at all the shops. Now, he wondered if any of these shops needed anything done..? Moving boxes? Stocking supplies? Who knew. Perhaps they needed a bodyguard or something? That wouldn't be too bad, at least in Geb's opinion.
The streets were only having the smallest of attendance today, and Geb was probably the person that walked by that stood out the most, at least compared to everyone else. Surely someone would take this chance and call out his name or something, right? That would be quite preferable, in his opinion. However, the better solution was to just wait, at least until Geb got to the request board. If nobody called out to him, he could simply just go there. But, he'd prefer that he get the work as soon as possible, and, well, that board was a fair way away from where he was right now.
However, it seems that Geb would not have to wait much longer. Little known to him, there was a savior coming. A shopkeeper who was very, very disgruntled.
"You!" the man yelled out, pointing at Geb. Geb too though perhaps this was the opportunity he was looking for, and would place his hands in his pocket as he walked over to the elderly shopkeeper. "Yes?" Geb spoke, as he looked down to the shopkeeper who had been sitting at that moment. "Are you one of those.." the shopkeeper than leaned in an whispered. "You one of those Phantom boys?" he asked.
Geb knew this was a risk, but this shopkeeper could be just looking for someone to do dirty work. Geb left a simple nod, smiling down at the man.
"Alright. Then I got a job for you." he said, as he pointed at a child walking down across the street. He seemed to have a smirk on his face, a bit of an evil one at that. He also seemed poor. This child must of been causing the man quite some trouble if he was asking a dark mage for help with one. "See that child?" he asked. Geb responded with. "Yeah, I do."
"I want you to teach him a lesson."
