The woman behind the desk looked up at Silva, then reached into a drawer of the desk and pulled out some papers.  "I can see you're new here, so I'll explain a bit about how we work.  Missions we take are on a first-come, first-served basis; we don't want to encourage fighting between groups, so only one person or group can be on a mission at a time, so because of that we only let new members take on one mission at a time.  And yes, you have to be a member of the guild in order to take any jobs, so I'll need you to fill these out," she said, handing Silva several sheets of papers.  They seemed to be rather routine questionnaires, asking her own personal information, contact information for any beneficiaries in the case of an untimely death, whether or not she had adventurer's insurance, if she had been afflicted with mummy rot in the last six months...<br/><br/>Before Silva could go to fill out the entrance paperwork, the lady continued explaining the guild.  "Basically, how we work is, a client comes in and gives us a job, as well as pays the reward and our guild fees up front.  We don't want someone offering a job they can't pay the reward for, after all, although some request that the actual reward is based on what work was done.  For example, the basement job's client may only pay part of the reward if the information is incomplete.  Adventurers come here to take on these jobs, and we try to match the job to the individual's skills.  We also offer a few other services, ways to get in contact with other adventurers or ways to be contacted if someone picks up a certain job, as well as helping adventurers find certain services, like magic items, teleportation, and so on."
