If you need some idea on what to post, you can put in your post that once they head to the notice board some higher classed adventurers decide to cause trouble. Like, your typical bully type bumping into you then pretending you bumped into them and wanting compensation or something. I intend to have that start a small chain of events for the future, but it doesn't have to be in my post. :)

Bio
I have been actively roleplaying for around 18 years now, since age 15. Which, as you might have guessed, makes me 33. I've done most of my rping on forums, averaging 2 to 4 paragraphs. Though I also LARP, and have played D&D for about 17 years. Real life has become a larger part of my life though, so my activity has lessened. Even so, I don't think I'll ever stop rping. :)

"Even cities have a game feel to them." Sanguine commented as they arrived at the plaza. "I used to play a game where you'd also get quests at an adventurer's guild. Kinda brings me back. Anyway, let's go." She then added, just wanting to voice her thoughts as they headed to their destination.
Once inside the large building it was everything Sanguine had expected and hoped it would be. A bar to get some simple food, drinks, or apply for jobs. A large notice board filled with notes, wanted posters and other such things to take on as quests, and the rest of the ground floor space being occupied by tables and chairs. If her guess was right, the first floor would probably have things along the lines of sleeping rooms, private rooms, or the place where the guild leader or leaders would go to. As the two walked in immediately a dozen or so eyes pointed to their direction. Some of them looked more like thugs than adventurers, so the vampiress figured the quests didn't consist of entirely legal ones. But those kinds of quests were unimportant for their goals anyway.
At the bar a very short, yet rough and strong looking man looked at them curiously as he saw them. "Newcom'rs eh?" He spoke. "If yer 'ere te sign up it'll cost 10 silv'r each an' I'll grab some forms. If yer 'ere te put up a quest it be 2 silv'r." Sanguine stared at the man for a brief moment, surprised at them running into of all races a dwarf already. She had expected they would live near mines or underground, yet this man was clearly a dwarf! "Oh! Yes...we're here to sign up. Bartholmew Burgresh said he'd recommend us." She finally spoke. "We don't have any money, but we can pay you in actual silver." The woman reached inside her bag of holding and took out a rather cheap silver ring with a small gemstone in it. One of the many items she had randomly looted while the two of them were playing the game a bit before it shut down. In the game she would have sold it to a random vendor for 15 to 20 silver depending on where she would have sold it. But right now it might come in handy as a bargaining tool.
The dwarf was definitely immediately interested. So it looked like dwarves in this world liked metals and gemstones quite a bit too. Looking over the ring carefully for ten seconds or so the dwarf decided it would suffice for their payment. In truth the ring was of high enough quality that it could be sold for at least 24 silver if you knew the right buyer, so the man saw a this as a way to make a little profit. "Bartholmew eh? I'll hav' te confirm tha' la'er. But fer now it'll do." He spoke. "Name's Caddoc Blackcarbon. I deal wit' th' standard guild stuff so ye'll be dealin' wit' me fer questin'. I'll go get yet forms." Not exactly the friendliest of types. Straight to the point, to say the least. But at least it looked like there wouldn't be any problem in them joining the guild, even if that was possibly only because she had mentioned Bartholmew's name.

Yea, I kinda noticed it, though didn't realise it yet. And it's one of the reasons why I wanted to move through the 'downtime' parts a bit more quickly. Since being on the road adventuring and fighting is easier to write for and get inspiration for in my experience. Plus I think it's a shame that we generally don't get past the beginning parts of roleplays before we move on to another.
Right now though, you don't have to post about much. The city has large main roads leading from the 3 gates (north-east, north-west and south) to the center with more specialised shops here and there on either side. (luxury clothing, sweets, jewellery, furniture, some bars etc) The center is a very large circular plaza with the more important buildings surrounding it. (church, adventurer's guild, blacksmith, general store, grocery store, etc) You could incorporate that into your post and get us to the adventurer's guild.

When Kali returned Alakai was sitting upright in his bed, still trying to fight off his sleepiness. When he was handed his cup of coffee he quickly took it and took a few sips. The taste was just as he expected. Hot water. He sighed a little bit, mentally noting that he should maybe try to make real coffee. It luckily wasn't that hard. You just needed the right type of seeds, crush them, and pour hot water over them. Now if he could only find the right seed...
"Thanks... Tastes like water, but at least it's coffee." He spoke with a smile. Kali asked what they were going to do for the day, and in truth, Alakai wasn't sure. There were plans to start grinding again, him wanting to always be at the top. But he was also curious about the guild. They hadn't really talked to half the members yet, and he wanted to discuss about going to the dungeon in the very near future. "Let's see...I kind of want to start levelling again, but I also want to know more about this guild. Maybe we can do both? First we can take it easy and find out about the guild a bit more, and then we can go out to level a bit more later in the afternoon? In truth...I think some levelling will help me sort out my thoughts as well. I haven't even considered joining a guild in quite a while..."

Ah ok, no wonder. :P I don't think I could ever get myself to get that... Luckily I can still mostly see fine without glasses.
Ansel just stood there a little dumbfounded at the sudden shouting. He had no idea what was so bad about walking around topless. Heck, that other dragon slayer Natsu was almost topless all the time. He sighed once the door slammed closed, wondering what to do. Though after a few moments he shrugged his shoulders and decided to just forget about it. "What was that all about, huh Valier?" He mused. At which Valier answered "You've never understood girls, no point in starting now."
Unlike Taunie however, Ansel wasn't going to bed yet. He had his usual evening routine to do. "We'll deal with whatever tomorrow. Time to train." The man dried the rest of his hair as best as he could and got dressed again. He saw where Taunie had dropped the house key a bit earlier, so he grabbed that before going outside. Now it was time for training. First, a few laps of jogging around the block to warm up. Then 50 sit-ups and 50 handstand push-ups. And finally he would find something not too heavy to lift for another 15 minutes. It usually took him around an hour to do all this. Galzra had a habit of staying up late and sleeping in. On top of that the dragon always kept on training Ansel well into the evening. As a result he had gotten so used to it that, these days, he couldn't get to sleep unless he tired himself out in the evening through some 'light' training.
After he was done Ansel still didn't feel too tired. Even so he decided to go to bed anyway. He had a feeling that he wouldn't be able to sleep in tomorrow morning, so it was best to at least try to go to sleep right now.
-----------------
The next morning Ansel was still sound asleep by the time Taunie woke up. He had laid awake for another hour after going to bed. Valier was laying on top of Ansel's stomach, snoring softly. If it was up to them, they'd stay in bed for at least another hour. Though that would probably be hard while being a guest in someone else's home...

Hmm, I plan to post a tiny bit more for the day. But after that I'll skip to the next day or something. :)
Ergh...forgot to put something in my post somewhere... She's hiding her slightly elongated ears and her red eyes with magic again. Just pretend I wrote that little part in too. xD
It wasn't hard to notice Oliver's eyes on her backside as they walked up the stairs. But Sanguine chose not to say anything about it. After all, if anyone would ever be allowed to stare at her figure, it would be her boyfriend right? Plus he seemed to be enjoying himself quite a bit.
Once at the portal room Jeeves and Danïelle were waiting for them to arrive already. They both bowed as the couple entered, wishing them a safe journey. Both npc's were worried about something happening while their leaders were away. But they wouldn't dream of disobeying orders, so this was all they could do. Sanguine didn't really pay attention to them apart from assuring them that they'd be fine though. She quickly headed to the navigation crystal, moving the image around until she found the city of E-Rantel. There was a forest reaching almost all the way to the south city gates so that's where she decided they'd go. It would get them close to the city while also hiding the fact that they used teleportation. Soon after, the portal opened. So the vampiress joined Oliver in front of it and stepped through together with him a moment later.
Once they were on the other side there was indeed a forest around them. Though it was a little unexpected that they now stood in the middle of the dirt road that headed to the city. Luckily there was no one around, or two people suddenly appearing would have probably caused quite the commotion. In front of them, if they looked carefully through the trees, the city walls were already visible. So it would only be a few minutes of walking. "Well, here we go then. Time to see what it's like to be an adventurer in this world." Sanguine spoke, getting excited once again.
After a short walk to the city gates they were stopped by two guards at said gates. One of them stepped forward, holding out one of his hands. "Identification please." He spoke, looking a bit disinterested. "Identification..." Sanguine mused, sighing a little. She should have asked about such a thing while they were in the small village the day before. "We don't have any yet..." The guard nodded, waving for the other guard to step closer. The second guard took two small scrolls out of a pouch on his belt and handed them to the couple. "Since you have no papers, you'll be issued this temporary document. With this, you can stay at most one day in the city before it expires. Make sure to register at one of the guilds or at the castle before then." It seemed pretty weird. Needing identification to enter and having closed gates during the day, yet being allowed in for a day for free if you didn't have any. But Sanguine wasn't about to question the kingdom's customs at this time. "Thank you. We plan to go to the adventurer's guild straight away anyway." She told the guards. And with that the gate was opened for them.

I figured as much. Of course I'd like it if you post more often but there's no rush really. :)
