Elaine had spent the last few hours in the back of the theater sweeping and generally tidying up from where she had been practicing her flute.After eating lunch there she figured she might as well clean a bit. It would do the theater some good backstage. She had overheard a big fuss earlier about some lost pages of some great book. People had been coming in all day looking for stuff and she had to chase a few off with her trusty broom. A sound nearby of a door clicking open. Surely none of the others let someone down there? Maybe it's a member. Probably looking for the next meeting or mission. Snoopy. Elaine sighed. "Ey, Lainey!" One of the nearby actors held up her flute. She had laid in on top of one of their props without thinking. "Sorry!" She waved and walked over to get it. "And it's not Lainey, for the hundredth time. It's E-laine." Emphasising each syllable. "Whatever you say Lainey." The boy grinned and picked up the large prop and carried it off. She couldn't help but smile and she swatted at him with the broom.
His protest was lost in the bustle of a group of stage girls. They were talking excitedly about something. Returning to her chore she couldn't help but over hear. "500 EMP! That's enough to buy me a new dress with." Another woman scoffed. "That's enough to get out of Lodan for good. Forget those fancy dresses. You could finally see the world." 500 EMP! Wow! No wonder everyone's so excited. But the "see the world" thing is a bit far-fetched. One of the girls noticed Elaine stopping and whispered to the others. All five of them turned on her. "What are you looking at?! Get lost."
"Why? I'm just sweeping. It's not like I'm breathing on your perfect hair or anything." The older woman who wanted to "see the world" stepped forward. "How dare you speak to us that way." She raised her arm as if to strike Elaine. "Touch me and I swear I'll rip your arm off. I'm not joking, in fact I've got people who will help me do it too. We will dismember you into separate pieces and throw you into a river. You'll never be found. Maybe we can feed you to our dogs. They would like that." By now half of the other girls had stepped back in horror and the woman was speechless. Elaine turned with a flick of her curly hair and gave a creepy cackle as she walked away. Lord, I love doing that! She approached the door to the guild hide-out and tried to peer into it's depths. Wouldn't hurt to see who it is would it? She descended and grinned. Surprise! "What you snooping about there Z?" She asked with a smirk.
