Talonia, a place where the guildless congregate, a place where those without an affiliation to a greater power will gather, mingle, and take on tasks. In her passing through this place, Iris DuPage admired the sounds of people, the various voices and textures they brought to her brain. With synesthesia, she was getting plenty of sensory overload, but, not to the point she was going to fall over.
She was red in the face, from the stress of trying to focus on something else. But, her brain worked differently. Cursed with blindness, gifted with synesthesia, she was trying to find a place to sleep for the night, even though it was mid afternoon, she would have to wait until the wee hours of the day when everyone was still sleeping, so she could get out on to the streets and get back to her travels away from home. She had left Silver WOlf's halls to take on work of her own and do some exploring, and, in it, she found herself overwhelmed in multiple locations.
Today however, she was being corralled without knowing it. People from the thief's guild of enca had come to check up on her debt. And when they got her off in to a four way alley way, she was cornered on all sides, two men from each path were coming down, toward her.
"Alright kid, we were sent to check in on ya, how goes earning money to pay off the debt? You managing or do we gotta rough you up before we send word back to the boss?"
"Great, just great, yep, I am on my way to turn in a job and make some money! No need to worry! Please don't take what money I have, I need it for a place to sleep tonight."
of course, they weren't going to have that, they were going to have to rough her up, they were eager to show her just what happens when you have a debt to the greatest thieves in earthland, or, at least they called themselves that.
