As you step out of the long black limousine that chauffeured you to the Guild Mansion, your eyes are met with a beautiful, freshly painted, white building. Walking up the sidewalk to the doors you can see beautiful arrangements of flowers edging the path. Roses of many different colors along with daisies and many other lovely flowers paint a tapestry of color and decorate the blissful walk to the doors. Two men dressed in matching, elegant, black-and-white tuxedos hold the two giant doors open for you as you pass through the doorway.
Once you enter the main ball room the first image to reach your eyes is a lavishing display of brilliant lights. A large chandelier hangs from the ceiling, sprinkling the room with wonderful new textures from light that seems to dance across the room. Tables are set up around the dance floor, give plenty of room to dance and walk while still leaving plenty of space to sit and talk with new and old friends. The dance floor lies in the main area of the room, with two curving staircases on either side leading to a balcony. Up on the balcony resides another place to socialize and look down at the other happenings of the party. The floor of the entire room is a deep, dark oak, which has been freshly cleaned so that the lights in the room glisten on it. The tables are all covered with a blue tablecloth that is draped across the table, with shining silver dishes in front of all the chairs and a silver vase in the center containing a mixture of blue flowers, and crystal glasses which help reflect the light around the room. In the very back of the room rests a long stretch of tables with many different types of food from all over the world, prepared elegantly and made by our spectacular chefs. Bottles of some of our finest wines are placed in the center of each of these tables where they are surrounded by the food, creating a wonderful scene of food and drink.
However, none of these displays mean anything without all of you, the guests. Using the dance floor and dancing to the orchestra that serenades the party, and at the same time adding new forms of beauty, grace, and elegance to the party. And furthermore, the people sitting at the tables, drinking and laughing with their friends, help to add a new sense of community to the party. Even the people on the balcony, watching the people dance, looking at the wonderment in the people’s eyes, and enjoying the company of those around them. Everyone that has walked through the two giant doors brought something with them, whether it’s the happiness in their heart, a sense of love for the person that may have came with them, the ability to make others laugh, or even just the gift to make someone smile. The sights and sounds that each and everyone of the people that enter the room bring creates the true feeling of this party and what this guild and Gaia itself is about. So come in, join the fun, and enjoy yourself in celebration of The Hangout Guilds Four Year Anniversary Ball! Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Today's Events 3. Today's Winners

*He makes his way to the two giant doors leading to the Guild Mansion’s Ball Room. Pulling a small silver key out of his pocket, he carefully slides it into the lock. A loud click can be heard when the key is fully in place. Turning it gently, an even louder click echoes through the Ball Room. Pushing the large doors open, life floods through the doors and into the Ball Room and everyone knows that the Ball is ready to start.*

I take it you mean your mule. Takes a sip of the Vodka. But you have to remember, I've been clearing out my inventory. Soon enough I'll have sold off all my letters. I don't know what I'll do with all the money....
Charity work, I suppose. I just wish it were cash. xd
