In the waltzing windy streets of Baska City Squara, Ikanbi silently walked about. Well rested and well refreshed, she had stayed at a small quaint inn not far down the road and the food, drinks, and bed had been quite refreshing, she hadn't known how much she had needed it, truly. The journey by carriage had been all to nice and easy, as Kirari had made it oh so spacious inside. Indeed, in no time at all they had made it to Baska and they had partied the night away with the locals and a few hunters that Ikanbi had contacted before. Looking for a bit of work to pass the time, Ikanbi made her way to the local request board, slowly and quietly walking amongst the crowds along the streets. She made her way around the corners, maintaining her distance and avoiding collision and eventually she did truly find the request board, plain as day.

Also plain as day, several requests, several tasks from which Ikanbi could choose from to do for some quick odd money. Perfect, she thought to herself and she scanned them, but truly, admittedly, the bright pink flier caught her eye immediately. It wasn't even on purpose, it just happened to be the first one she saw, she giggled at the thought. Pink is perfect, after all. She thought on it and realized that it could be a Wednesday, and giggled again. What an oddity, she admired and took the flier. Truth be told, it wasn't entirely what she was looking for but it seemed easy enough. She made her way to the boutique and Fernando spoke to her, detailing a list of strange sounding fabrics that he desperately needed from down the way. He showed Ikanbi a few examples while they talked and his hands ran the length of the fabric in flamboyant flourishes as he squawked from his face hole.

Ikanbi nodded and listened, but was mostly silent other than telling the man, "Okay," and then immediately turning heel and leaving the premises. Ikanbi grabbed a cart from outside and immediately headed to the flea market, and as luck would have it she found one of the fabrics she needed immediately. She paid for it after haggling the price down, and loaded it into her cart. Several stalls away, another street merchant had something that Fernando needed, as well as something that Ikanbi just admittedly enjoyed herself, and she grabbed them both and got a discount she hadn't considered even haggling about. It was what it was, and she accepted the fabric. She made sure to use her own money for her own purchase however, and kept it in a separate pouch on her person as she shopped.

She continued to buy fabrics, going up and down the flea market and using her connections to help her haggle prices down the best she could. In the end, she wound up getting Fernando more than he wanted, and saving him a fair amount of money. He was quite pleased, and gave her reward and she was on her way.

Here she was. A single girl in the wide world of Fiore. It was amazing how much free time one had when they were not in service to the ruling family. In fact, she was worried about not being able to join the prince's organization. However, the gods blessed her and her family and now she had this snazzy tattoo which served as her guild mark for Paradise Dawn. Her family was going to be so proud of her and so she seek to write the a letter of her accomplishments. However there was a tiny winy problem.

She stood at the post office in Baska's Square with a red face as the clerk repeatedly asked her for money. Why would she need money? She was a servant of the ruler. Everything she did was in the name of the king. Only then did she realize the true struggle of her life mission. She was on her own and thus, she was going to need to find a way to make money. The girl took her letter and ran out embarrassed. She was not going to give up though. She had The Power of Friendship, the strongest magic in the world that rivaled Ancient and Nightmare Dragon slayers. All she had to do was find a job that she could use her super uber powerful magic on.

It was then that the gods sent her another message that would help her own her quest. She saw another Desertian woman walk up to a board with lovely papers and then take a pink flyer. Koi eyes went starie as she imagine having her own pink paper. So she rushed there to take her own copy and on it was... A JOB! Not only did she get a lovely pink paper but she now had a mission. Following the instructions, she went to this boutique and discover this fabulous Fernando Milano. She did not know who this man was but wow was his skin nice and smooth. His hair was like so pretty. He was so nice too. He told her that he was looking for a rare fabric but he already sent another woman on the mission.

Koi was worried but brought up an interesting point. What if he made something so fabulous that he might need more material. The man was in sync with her and thus sent her off to get more. After receiving some examples she went off.

Koi saw the the other woman enter the market with a cart so she followed her hoping maybe she would lead her to the required mission item. Lucky for the girl, she would catch a glimpse of a merchant in a dark alley that was selling some lovely fabric. It was a bit expensive but that was okay cause Fernando gave her plenty of money. So Koi  bought up the whole stock and then brought it back to Fernando. The man was really pleased with her work and paid her. Koi smiled took the money and then Ran off to go sent off her letter. Only, the girl would then run into the woman she was following.

"Oh hi there. Thanks for helping me get a job. My name is Koi! Wanna be friends!"
