☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- In that case, you need to get a membership card for the club.

"As a rule, in such cases, they provide detailed explanations of what this card actually gives you before presenting you with the need to buy it. It's clear that you can't enter without it, and yet... it's somehow strange. I would have asked myself, but after that, saying "okay, I'll go, I don't have that much money" wouldn't be very good either. But the idea is certainly clever. You can't deny that. They'll extract 1000 mandatory rems from a simpleton. Then other expenses will follow. And he will continue to come, wanting to "recoup" not only past losses but also the expensive card. Perhaps "Predatory Rabbit" would be a more fitting title."
— Thank you. I'm afraid that at the moment, I can't afford such significant expenses with a clear conscience. I apologize for wasting your time.

Lamenting that her attempts to make new acquaintances have once again failed, Alaria decides to wander around the city a little more. Unfortunately, there are practically no places left in Margel for socializing. She has already been to the bar, and she didn't want to overdo it with alcohol. Various guilds of philosophers required OD (Order of Divinity). And "The Thinker" only allowed men, apparently believing that the sight of a trained woman would immediately divert their attention elsewhere. So, what was left for her to do? Annoy tired shopkeepers with her conversations in the evening? That would be a bit rude. Even having a proper conversation with her former boss, given her unsociable nature, would be difficult. Perhaps she should try visiting Kragg, whom Klin praised so much, to find out some things that interest her. Or try her luck with Kreia, although that's not exactly the type of socialization she needs right now.

Since the walk around the city doesn't lead to anything, the girl decides to postpone the two potential options for a while and returns to Carneol, in case Beate or Erefir needs help with some new, unexpected issues.
