🎀 Wisteria 🎀

Rogdan paced back and forth, his hands clasped behind his back, waiting for all the mercenaries to arrive at the top-secret meeting place. Once everyone was assembled, the baron quickly scanned them with a brief glance, then allowed himself to speak first: “Gentlemen! Comrades! Allies!” he began with undisguised enthusiasm. “I congratulate all of us on successfully reaching our planned destination and on our first day in Clematis! I hope that no one, ahem... has encountered any further problems and that everyone is satisfied with this wonderful city!” Rogdan paused briefly, looking at the setting sun, and then continued: “However, we are all tired from the long journey, so let’s get straight to the point.” He pulled a slightly crumpled notebook from his pocket and opened it to a bookmark. “For the official registration of our unparalleled organization, I need to fill out several information forms, including details about each member of our squad. I am, without a doubt, capable of handling this myself, but if anyone wishes to provide their own information, feel free to do so! Since we have all the necessary documents, each of you only needs to put your signature next to mine, or, if Mr. Kosto or Mr. Carafa wish, their name as the official representative of the squad. Regarding the unpleasant incident with the latter... I hope, no, I am sure, that everything will be resolved favorably very soon.” The baron closed the notebook and, giving the others a chance to absorb and process what he had said, moved on to the next point: “Now, regarding accommodation. As I understand it from Mr. Zerek, ‘The Floating Wave’ and ‘Sterling Sea’ can provide lodging at appropriate price points, but it is quite possible that Mr. Kosto has a better offer. As for currency, I was told that paying with jewels is extremely, uh... disadvantageous. So, at the first opportunity, I advise you to visit the local bank and exchange at least part of your savings. Oh yes, I almost forgot!” Rogdan clapped his hands. “If anyone is interested in ordinary work or performing other tasks in their free time, don’t forget to contact the workers’ guild! That’s about it. I am sure that very soon fame, exploits, and wealth will be in our hands! Hooray!” Having finished his speech with a gallant bow, the baron yielded the floor to Raphael from Linderia, as well as to all the others who wanted to share any useful information.
