It's [The Newest Vice Region Association Elite Squad] in bold letters with all four of our mug shots posted and bounties labeled underneath them.

Our time in DryRock is not going to be as easy as I thought it'd be.

I turn to Issac, now peeking my disguised face out from my hood.

"Hey, I need to check these out."

He stares for a second but recognized my voice. The fire wielder looks me up and down, then mutters under his breath.

"You really are full of surprises."

I turn left to walk over to the wall with our posted bounties to take a closer look. Next to our pictures, there are notes and prices for our heads.

I get a chuckle out of Abby's full name, sometimes I forget she is usually referred to as Abigail in more professional settings, but it must have slipped my mind.

She's the most wanted because she's been with the Association the longest.

Maria and I have lower rates and only have basic details that are noted in the Association's system. Most likely these are what have been publicly shared, considering we're the new Elites.

I should get around to reading the paper again, It's a habit I broke once I started hunting more.

Arie's poster stands out as well.

He's marked down for 1 more gold than Maria and I, plus he's only wanted alive. The rest of us have no preference marked down

I scan the posters back and forth taking in as much information as possible, then I hear the fire user gulp behind me.

He whispers in a low tone.

"Can all your friends do that same trick with their faces... because... it looks like the bunch of you are going to need it."

I pause, then finally look away from the posters and back to Issac.

"They can't, it's a- special item. I only have one. We'll just have to lay low and hope no one's examining us too carefully."

I let out a sigh, knowing this is far from optimal in a time like this, but I'll just have to think of a better plan before we have to meet any people face to face.

I get a nervous look from the grunt, but he just nods, then turns to the back of the room.

"Well, figure it out soon. This is getting way too complicated for me. Come on, let's accept the quests and get out of here."

He starts to walk over and I follow. We approach a long wooden counter at the back of the room, polished beautifully, with 3 quest office workers standing behind it about 2 meters apart from each other.
