Freyr's shot was true. The arrow hit the apple but did not pierce through. The people surrounding the guild members relaxed, some disappointed that there would be no chance for a quick shot at fortune and glory this day.
Saburo invited
Freyr and the other guild members to talk with him while the competition resumed. The Zipanguese Lord gifted the Guild with a couple of his handcrafted arrows. The quest was a success!
------
Night had fallen when the guild members handed over the arrows to the strange old couple back in Ambran. They were delighted and happily forked over the reward before frolicking away to their next venture.
"
I swear, we always get the weirdos." Haley could not help but remark. "
Still, that was pretty cool, Freyr. I totally didn't doubt you for a second." The Siren snickered at the self-jab. "
A job well done if I do say so myself. You guys wanna hang around here or do we head back to the guild?"
"
And hey there, the two of you." Haley turned to
Nagare and
Ditzy. "
I do believe we haven't been introduced to each other yet. I'm Haley Wellington and I've been in the guild longer than the two of you so that means I'm your senior and you have to do whatever I say. Hahaha!"

With Eilidh pulling Bast away,
Titanica and
Vară was left with the local populace who were noticing what was happening.
"
Oh my~ These two look like they've eaten a little too much of the local cuisine~"
"
They look like they're about to rampage..."
"
That's not good. They might cause trouble with the 'closed' couples here."
Titanica and
Vară were attracting a crowd of Angels and Houris and Cupids and soon enough, the local authorities. "
Hey, hey! What's going on here?" Arrived was
a Valkyrie of long, blonde hair and shiny red armor and, of course, clean white-feathered wings. She pushed through the crowd to get a clear look at the scene. "
What's the ruckus about? What happened?"
"
Oh, Officer Valerie~ This Dragon and Succubus went a little overboard with our food~"
Valerie sighed. "
Not again..." The Valkyrie then addressed
Titanica and
Vară. "
Alright, you two. I don't know if you can hear me but this has happened before so don't worry, we know what to do. However, we will not be at fault for what happened to you here." Valerie said before clasping her hands together and uttering a prayer too quiet for
Titanica and
Vară to hear.
Suddenly, a pillar of light enveloped both
Titanica and
Vară and once it dissipated, the two found themselves in a large stylishly cute bedroom of pink and comfortable colors. Also with them, however, was a familiar face. "Titanica? And who are you? Vară?" Neil looked around confused. "Where are we? W-What's going on?" He was beginning to panic. "What happened? Why are we here?"
Looking at the two in-heat monsters, he was beginning to worry as to what's going on. "Titanica, Vară... Are you two, okay?"

"And no doubt you're Mr. Bartholomew Baker, my new employer. And these must be the guild members. I like the variety. It wouldn't trouble you if I had a bit of dinner too, would it? I'm actually a little famished since the ride over here."
Bart shook your hand. "
New employer?" The guild leader repeated. "
Oh, you'd like to join the Guild? That's awesome! The more the merrier!" He then chuckled. "
Sorry about the sad state of our guild right now. Especially our entrance. There have been... complications last night." Bart continued sheepishly.
"
But hey, I'm glad you'd like to join anyway!" Bart returned to a more cheerful mood. "
Here in the Guild, we do requests and get paid if you didn't already know. Although, there are some quests that are..." He trailed off, not finishing the sentence and breaking off the conversation.

"K-Kyle's launch...everything was going fine, then suddenly he...his machine broke down mid-air, and he crashed. By the time we got there he was already...already dead.
Talia was silent, mouth slightly agape. Then she closed her eye and sighed. Then she smiled at you. A sad smile. "
Hey, don't beat yourself up over it. It's not your fault." She assured you.
"
I feared this, you know?" Talia began. You could see her eye was watering. "
We've done all the calculations but... I always had a feeling that there were factors we weren't considering. I suppose that's what testing is for, isn't it?" The Cyclops wiped a rolling tear. "
Looks like we're back to the drawing board, aren't we?"
Talia stood from her chair. "
In behalf of Kyle, let me say... thanks for being there... and helping us out." She then left the dining hall, her dinner unfinished.

"
It's nice to see the newcomers are getting along with everybody." Bart announced after talking to
Teelfa.
"
But we've yet another member joining our ranks. Everybody, meet Teelfa." Bart introduced the Panther Wyvern. "
I'll let her give the details herself. Looks like we're getting new members one after another. We're getting close to our original number no?" Bart gave out a hearty laugh.
"
And what about you, Miss Moth? Morgan right?" Bart then addressed
Morgan. "
I'd like to thank you for healing Talia. How'd you meet Neil and the others in Mahigan anyway? The village isn't large but I think it's unlikely that you two just bumped into each other in the village." He asked the Kaiju. "
That reminds me, we also have Mothman members recently but they had to leave due to some family matters, I think."
"
Also, you're looking for Titanica? What do you need with her?"

@The Irish Tree (NEP)~
Watching Talia leave the table and the dining hall, Neil sighed. "That can't be good."
As Bart called out the newcomers to introduce themselves, you were poked in the shoulder by Neil. "Hey. So uhh, found anything about my... predicament?" He asked you. "You know, now that Talia's alright. Physically."
"The library here isn't much, that much I know." Neil said. There was a brief pause before resuming. "...I actually thought we could dig something up in Mahigan. I thought..." He sighed. "I thought we could find a more detailed lead there, you know, while Talia's getting help." Neil shrugged. "But... well, one thing lead to another and... we were going home."
"...It was surreal, you know?" Neil added. "Seeing a village like that. There were Humans, there were Monsters, and they all act like, everything's normal." He continued. "I guess that's normal, isn't it? It's me who's not normal. That much we know." Neil forced out a chuckle.
"Hey uhh, sorry for rambling."

Having been invited to join a guild, you emerge from your dungeon dwelling and journeyed far to the location the orange-haired man gave you if you were ever interested in joining.
After days of traveling, you finally reach your destination. There, in the middle of the night-blanketed grassland, stood a structure of stone and metal and lit up like a beacon amongst the darkness.
You approach the great structure and you find a gaping hole for an entrance which gave you a peek at the main hall within. You get a feeling that was not part of the building's design. Regardless, you hear voices and conversation inside somewhere. From what you could see and hear, it seemed to be coming from the hall right of the main hall.
How will you make your entrance?
