Departure (A) - Nelo It doesn't feel long returning back to Beovault. Going back-and-forth, a part of me seems to have already accustomed to the travel time. Upon leaving the Station, all I see is the somber faces of the citizens, Beovault's flags being lowered, and just generally a quieter atmosphere, a far cry from Beovault's bustling atmosphere. It must be about Sophie. Red bit her lips upon entering Beovault territory, her hands were shivering. "You're gonna be alright?" I asked. "O-oh. Yes." Red's fingers wrapped into fist, and pumped them energetically in an attempt to psych herself.

Come to think of it, I should change back the value Veris to Beovault. Hmm...the exchange rate is, jeez, still 2:1. I guess Sophie's death reseted the value back down. Let's see...I have 100 Beovacs left from the train ride and 70 Veris left, so I now have 240 Beovacs. Since Beovault also dabbles in providing in PMCs an information hub, I decided to hire a guide that would take me to Beovault. Phew, I hope the hiring fee isn't going to bleed me dry.

I decided to pay a visit to Cylia's office. Red, who have nothing else to do, decided to follow suit. Entering the office and taking a number, I've decided to check the news while I wait. Just as expected, most of the headlines are either about Sophie's death, or tributes about her. Apparently Beovault is entering a 7-day mourning period and holding an open funeral event for her. Red peeked at the contents of the news, then went on to take a copy of her own. As she reads about it, a sad smile can be seen in her face. Eventually, my number is up.


 * Cylia: Oh-! Hello, Solvei, it's good to see you again.
 * Nelo: Hello. Sorry about Sophie.
 * Cylia: Thank you. I'm sure the Lady Shaman would appreciate it. Anyway...how can I help you today?
 * Nelo: Is it possible for me to open a request to hire a guide through you?
 * Cylia: Certainly. This office handles ID registration and mercenary contacts, though we do not take responsible for the results.
 * Nelo: Alright. I'd like to open a request to hire a guide to Melius.
 * Cylia: ....Melius? A-are you sure?
 * Nelo: Yeah.
 * Cylia: W-well, alright. What will your payment method and currency be?
 * Nelo: 140 Beovacs, cash.
 * Cylia: I'd recommend increasing the payment considering you're hiring a guide to Melius. It's not impossible to find help at ~100 Beovacs range, but you're likely to get no response for a long time, no matter how high the priority is.
 * Nelo: Fine, 200 Beovacs.
 * Cylia: Understood. For the notary service, you will be charged with 25 Beovacs.
 * Nelo: *sigh* alright.
 * Cylia: I'll need your ID for registration and verification.
 * Nelo: Here you go.
 * Cylia: ..... .... And we're done! I've programmed a marker on your ID; the top-right corner glow to signify any updates about your request. If you need additional information, you can also browse our public datalog. .... Just between you and me, I wouldn't get your hopes up. I'm sure you heard of rumors about Melius, so....
 * Nelo: I'll be careful, thanks.


 * >Nelo now has only 15 Beovacs left.

15 Beovacs....man, I really wish the request is picked up soon. Can't imagine even living a day here with only 15 Beovacs.
