My secret stash (C)

[Lissandra Chikaru]

Bills… It was a strange thing to assume that living was completely free and that Lissandra would get to keep all the money from her jobs for herself, although she still had to spend a penny on anything that wasn’t vital to survive. Yet when someone in a friendly conversation pointed out to her that she actually had to pay rent for the small room inside Fairy Hills she completely fell out of her clouds and immediately had to check if she still had enough money to pay her first rent once it was due. Lissandra still had enough money from her first mission to not even worry about not being able to pay her bills, but it was definitely a reason to go out there again and do another job just to make sure she was well off financially and wouldn’t become a burden to the guild or maybe even get kicked out. Lissandra didn’t know that Fairy Tail wasn’t known for kicking out members just because they couldn’t pay their rent on time and that even if she fell behind she would always have a place in the guild hall until everything calmed down and she was fluid again.
Unlike her first time Lissandra walked up to the request board with her eyes closed, actually almost running into it and just grabbed a job without looking at them first. She could still put it back right if it didn’t suit her or she just didn’t meet the requirements. //Let’s hope it’s not a weird one again.// Lissandra smiled when she read through the details. It was a simple request to retrieve some stuff from a cave, nothing special, nothing weird. Well since she seemed to be lucky today she just decided to take the job and gain some extra money just so she could maybe even spend some of her money on a new dress or stuff…well other stuff you know people of her age spent their money on like…well cake! Lissandra knew that she still had a lot to learn about living or rather living on her own and it was in moments like these that she got a bit sad, although not for long as she felt how the paper suddenly slipped out of her hand and flew through the room. //Wait where are you going!?// Lissandra began to chase the poster through the room and stumbled over her own feet in her rush. She wasn’t very pleased that she found herself on the cold ground just a few seconds later, but at least the poster landed right in front of her eyes, almost like it was taunting her to grab it again. She wasn’t hurt and actually didn’t feel any pain, it seemed like her luck was a bit choosy today.

[Naz Blackwood]

Naz sat causually eating on his own, he had only been in the guild for a short time but he was enjoying himself so far even though he had done nothing to start earning money! He was used to living on the bare minimum, it was just how he was but being in the guild had forced him to rent a small place of his own and with the rent coming up he was beginning to worry a little about how he was going to pay it!

It was then that he saw a rather uncouth attempt to chase a leaflet of some kind by a skinny girl. His knowledge of this girl was zero but watching her dive and duck in attempts to snatch the sign up she fell. Naz couldn't help but roll his eyes as he took a few steps before leaping to land just in front of the girl with his foot on the curious bit of paper!

Naz's eyes opened wide as he saw a job application! This girl was in the same boat as him?! He cocked an eyebrow at her as he stood back up fully before offering a hand; "You dropped this I think?" He gave a small smirk keeping a firm grip on the job.

Pesky paper! Why did it do such a good job at making her look like a complete idiot? At least it wouldn’t be able to mock her once it landed, although she did a great job of doing the same. Lissandra growled quietly when she suddenly saw a hand reaching out in front of her and grabbing the paper. She had to put her head back into her neck to look up to Naz as she was still lying on the ground. In the first moment she assumed that he was going to take her job and run away with it, although it was more of a fleeting thought.
Lissandra noticed his hands, but choose to ignore it as her got on her knees and began to swipe the dust of her dress. “Yes, thank you.” She answered and carefully stood up. It seemed that she didn’t hurt herself on accident, which was nice since she intended to go on a job if she could get the paper to behave her way. She reached out of the paper and pulled it with as little force as she could out of his hands so if he actually wanted to read it she would have no chance to just snatch it out of his hands. //I should be more careful or I might one day take out the whole request board if I crash into it.// It was probably nothing Lissandra could really influence, but she could at least be more careful. “I was considering to do this job. It’s just about getting some chest from a cav. It sounds easy.” Lissandra now explained and looked down at the poster again. There were far more difficult jobs at the board right now and maybe it was some easy money. //I wonder how heavy that chest is.// Lissandra suddenly noticed that there was no description on this point what so ever. So what if she couldn’t move it? She couldn’t do anything about her weak physique so maybe magic? Well she could probably pull it right? it wasn’t like the job expected her to carry it. “I am fine now, sorry I interrupted whatever you did before.” Lissandra apologized and began to look at the job again. Maybe it was a good idea to take someone with her? The reward was high enough so she would still make a good amount for her standards even if she would have to split it with a guild member. “Hmmm…” Lissandra let out a deep sigh, almost becoming a statue as she was thinking what to do next. //Why do I have to make so many decisions?// Maybe these things got easier when she had a few jobs under her belt and could determine which jobs suited her best.
