A Token for some Trouble | Leo & Lila

@forlohrn

Male. Around her age, maybe 19. Prince-like. Possibly careless. Definitely had some valuables on him. Tired. Easy to steal from.

With her target in sight, Lila was ready. She had seen this guy in the Grand Hall for the past couple of days during breakfast time, and with the air he had around him, she knew he was going to be a fun target. Not only that, but the reward was sure to be great.

Nobody from Hiraeth was actually from the area. At least, that’s what Lila had deducted. Everyone had come from different worlds, ones that even an Antari couldn’t travel to. She had learned early on that even with her tokens, she wasn’t able to As Travars her way back to any of the Londons. Still, she planned on getting out of the place. And, with whatever she could steal from this guy, she could then use it as a token to travel to his world.

Lila silently followed him as he walked towards the Great Hall. Despite being easily visible in the hallway, there was a slim chance that he would notice her. It wasn’t uncommon for students to walk from the dorms to the hall in the morning, especially for breakfast. The food disappeared at seven on the dot, so nobody wanted to miss breakfast. In fact, there were a few other students in the hallway.

They got to the Great Hall, Lila taking a seat a bit further at the same table, making it seem normal. Then, while he wasn’t looking, she threw what looked to be a bowl of salsa at him. With the target now distracted, she ducked under the table, quickly crawled where he was sitting, carefully slipped her hand into his pocket, and took whatever was there. Before he looked up again, Lila was already back in her seat again, eating her toast with a bored expression on her face, concealing a triumphant smile.

She toyed with the object now in her pocket, not even knowing what exactly it was. Whatever it was, it was now hers.

( hello hello! I was wondering about the acquisition of funds at the academy— we all know money can be exchanged for goods and services, but how would one (specifically the students; presumably the teachers have salaries—) come into money? do students have an eg. weekly allowance, or—? )

Greetings!

Students in good standing* are granted a weekly allowance of 10 Gold, which is part of the currency in Hiraeth. Currency is broken down as such: 

1 Platinum = 10 Gold

1 Gold = 10 Silver

1 Silver = 10 Copper

Now, the cost for various services fluctuates and we are allowing our members to gauge how much specific things would cost (or you are welcome to send an inquiry about something specific to the blog, and we would happily reply with a price we deem suitable!). However, as a general rule, something like a meal at the local tavern would cost a couple copper. A silver weapon forged at the blacksmith would obviously cost more, closer to a few gold. Cheaper company at the Bounitful Bosom might cost you a silver or two, but a more... comfortable, and exclusive type of company, might run you up to a platinum or two! 

Professors earn a bi-weekly stipend of 20 Platinum, at this time. 

We are currently looking into a way to manage these funds and also offer chances to earn more currency, should anyone desire it. However, the system is in it’s basic state for now.

We hope this helps!

* Student reputation will be a future update to Hiraeth Academy’s group. For right now, every student will be considered in good standing and actions will not affect this until the update is posted. This note will be removed once it is implemented, so as to facilitate future FAQ.

Eats the tomato whole.

A prince, are we? Try to remember that nobody cares about your past here -- go ahead and tell all the stories of the good old days, though, just remember you aren’t royalty here! You’ll be housed in room 100, without a roommate for the time being. Take care, now!
