A Chain Reaction

Forming the Links
Takeshi Kaneko and Ash Davies stood conversing in front of the job board at the Libertus guild. The two had become rather close during their time spent together at the guild and during the war; some would say they acted more like brothers more than anything. They both stood in front of this paper filled corkboard in order to find a job worthwhile to cure their boredom at the sudden drop in excitement during this post-war peace. The task directed conversation was interrupted only by jokes, often at the expense of one another, poking fun with silly quips. Yet from the dialogue that followed it was clear that no offence had been taken, quite the contrary. They enjoyed the banter, the witty and not-so-witty put-downs. They teased and jibbed one moment and discussed team strategy the next, taking one another seriously and giving well thought out responses. This continued for a few minutes as their eyes mindless browsed over the words plastered up before them until something caught Takeshi's attention.

"Hey Ash, check this one out." Takeshi says as he points to a post that asked for help in ridding the town of thugs who had claimed to take it as their own. It was one word that caught the black haired mage's attention though, "The man says these thugs are from Aeternum... you think a few of them still fighting the war despite their loss? They probably aren't one of those Elementals we had to face if they only took over this small town, right?" He asked, conveying his interest in the jobs premise as they both shared a brief history with the members of the mentioned continent.
