I'm looking for more information outside the basic brochures on the guilds. While remaining independent would be preferred, there are certain issues that need to be monitored, and the guilds seem like they might have the resources needed.

Information from those who are or been previously involved with the guilds would be incredibly useful to make a final decision.

An insider's look on how they operate mostly. The Society struck me as rather loose on that front.

Both Guilds keep us housed and taken general care of, I believe. I don't have any special inside view of them.

[And even if he did, they probably wouldn't want him to disclose what goes on...]

I doubt we're allowed to stay in a luxury hotel after joining. Could you explain the housing at least?

[He's getting the impression the "how they operate" question isn't going to get answered, and it's not like he has any leverage to force a response.]

The house I was given is like an old gothic Victorian house. A little rundown. A little spooky. But that's likely because it's in Sunset Falls. I think the accommodations vary from city to city. But it's roomy and private and out of the way which is what I was looking for.

[sixthdeadliest]

Sounds reasonable.

What did you mean by us being "taken general care of"?

[makeanentrance]

I just meant they give us support in finding housing and jobs and if we need any other special requirements. Like when we arrive. It continues rather than immediately ceases.

It's good to have a support system, don't you think so?

[sixthdeadliest]

That's what I expected. I talked with someone who seemed to think there would be special protections under a guild's banner and was disappointed when that wasn't the case. I'm wondering if maybe that was the original pitch that changed to something more realistic as time went on.

[makeanentrance]

What sort of special protection were you expecting?

[sixthdeadliest]

I wasn't expecting any. It's just the impression I got from the first person I talked to that they expected something more and were disappointed.

[makeanentrance]

Are you the rebellious type?

[sixthdeadliest]

I suppose I used to be. Put that behind me when circumstances on my world changed.

[makeanentrance]

There's a time and a place for rebellion.

[sixthdeadliest]

There is. But I'm not sure here and now are good ones.
