Client’s Name: Katy
Location: Magnolia Town
Information: Me and my husband are going for a big party and it’s out of town. Our son, our naughty-inhumane-son, is going to spend the night alone if he doesn’t have any babysitter to take care of him. We need you to take care of him and when we come back we expect him asleep; or else I will not reward you. This may sound like an easy job to do, but in fact it’s hard. The fact that I say that is because; he’s an inhumane baby: he’s very naughty, and dangerous. This one time, I saw him taking a knife and nearly cut his cute fingers off. Anyway, good luck!
Rewards: 750 jewels each.

With a sudden halt, the train came to an abrupt stop. It's chimney bellowed smoke from the burning coals within its engine, as dozens of people crowded the machine. Within moments, dozens more began piling out of it.

"Excuse me, lady, but this is the train's final stop." Mythica's eye shot open as she heard the unfamiliar voice calling to her. She sat up in her seat to see a man in blue uniform, dressed like one of the train's crew.

"Oh, right. Sorry."  She said rather flatly, still recovering from her afternoon nap. She silently picked up the bag that lay underneath her seat, and walked passed him into the hallway. The smell of smoke and the sound of dozens of people immediately invaded Mythica's two senses as she stepped out onto the platform. She wore an unusual black dress, with rose pendants attached to her collar. Her hair consisted of a deep black colour, drawn into twin tails which fell over her shoulders. Her only visible eye was red tinted, while her black bangs covered the left side of her face. Her odd appearance got a few looks, but nothing she couldn't ignore. The girl silently stepped out of the station, her expression remained calm and collected. Mythica turned her head to observe the town that lay before here. A peaceful community to say the least. It was much different from the usual bustling city she had been used to whenever she was graced with the chance to visit civilization.

She reached into the bag to take out a small pocket watch attached to a chain. She flicked it open, and held it in front of her head. It was 4:48 PM in the afternoon. Mythica sighed. The train had arrived later then she hoped. She continued to stare deeply at the watch for a moment longer... Before the constant ticking made her snap it shut. It was getting late, so her plan for the rest of the night was clear. She may as well find an Inn to stay in for the evening...

As the girl traversed the long cobblestone streets, she paid little attention to the detail around her. Until she was forced to by a what seemed like a random woman. "Hi there! You seem to be a well mannered girl. Could I ask a quick favour?" The woman said suddenly and without warning as she stepped into Mythica's path. Mythica's eye widened by the sudden surprise of the girl's intrusion.

"Ummm... I uh-" "Terrific! I knew you'd listen!" Mythica began, before the woman interrupted her.

"You see, me and my husband are going to throw a party tonight, but we can't leave our young son by himself! Could you maybe watch him for us until we get back? I'm willing to pay you!" She spilled at Mythica before she had time to react. She took a moment to soak in the request and then put a hand on her hip.

"I'm not some kind of babysitter lady. And why are you trusting a random stranger with your kid?" She responded flatly, a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Oh come on! It'll only be for a night! Plus I'm offering to PAY you. How does 750 jewels sound?"

Mythica was about to completely deny the random request, when the subject of money halted her tongue. 750 jewels just for a babysitter? I could use that money... She thought silently to herself. She looked back up at the lady. "What's the catch?"

She carefully wandered into the rather large manor of the lady as she closely followed behind. It was very large, not at all what Mythica was expecting. Which made her all the more curious. Judging by the looks of the place, this couple was wealthy. Why did they need a random person to babysit? She wondered.

"Now then! Our son SHOULD be upstairs in his room. It'd be best if he stays there. Make sure he's asleep by the time we get back." Mythica's mind snapped back to her once she began speaking again. "Huh? Oh yes, of course." She answered. Soon, a well dressed older gentlemen came down the stairs, a look of anxiety in his eyes. "All right, let's go." He said nervously before nodding to Mythica, not saying anything to her. "Right then, we'll be seeing you tonight! I'm Katy by the way." Mythica nodded, and waved them out the door.
