Monstrous Guild vs Small Apartment
What really happens on SHO.
Day 1.
The six of them stood outside their new apartment. Seven, who had the keys, stepped forward and unlocked the door. They walked inside and looked around.
"We could afford two apartments, you know." Mars pointed out as she put down her stuff.
Scott just shrugged, "What would be the fun in that? Now we're all roommates!"
"We'd say flatmates in England." Mars muttered, Scott just responded by throwing a bone at her.
Tanadin was rummaging through the chests they'd been provided, "Well, we've got some cool stuff, lots of bread."
They all started to busy themselves with settling in. There wasn't a lot of space in the apartment and there was six of them. Shields were stacked in a corner and after Scara tripped over a sword that someone had left on the ground, so were swords.
The first problem they came across was the lack of beds. Six people couldn't fit in a single bed, especially given they were all rather tall. Scott made a joke about Tanadin and Seven being cyborgs and that they could just be plugged into a socket. The same bone he'd thrown at Mars got thrown back at him for that comment
"We'll just have to buy beds, until then some people can sleep on the floor." Tanadin said, taking charge. She was the guild leader, what she said was what happened.
"Nice of you to let me sleep on the bed," Scott said, flopping down onto it. Generally speaking what Tanadin said was what happened, unless you were Scott.
Shawn raised his eyebrows, "You're a sheep, you shouldn't sleep in a bed."
"A mafia sheep, there's a difference."
"You can't be in the mafia when there isn't a mafia," Shawn sighed.
"I can and I am." Scott said defiantly. Mars whispered to Shawn to give up, he did so begrudgingly.
Day 5.
They'd been living together for five days. They now had a bed for everyone to sleep on. This had happened very quickly given the foul mood Mars was in after sleeping on the floor. It was a three tier, double bed bunk bed, which was apparently practical.
Tanadin was scared of heights so she and Seven took the bottom bunk. Mars and Scara took the middle because they both decided they didn't want to sleep with a sheep or a zombie. Then Scott took the top. Shawn, on the other hand, opted to sleep on the floor rather than next to Scott.
"Breakfast's ready!" The neon haired girl called from the kitchen. This was followed by a stampede of the guild members, all hungry for breakfast. They'd already had two noise complaints from the tenants of the floor below them.
Mars put French toast onto the brand new table. The one that had been provided had been far too small. Four pairs of hands and a pair of hooves grabbed at the food before Mars had even sat down.
"So, what's the plan today?" Scara asked.
"Well," Tanadin begun, "I was thinking we could try going to the dungeon, we could use some new loot, plus Scott broke his shield yesterday, we need the gold."
"I didn't break it!" Scott said defensively through a mouthful of food, "It was that damn zombie."
"Hey, watch your mouth!" Shawn scolded
"I've heard you say worse words than damn." Scott replied with a smirk.
"Not that, the zombie comment, we're not all like that."
"Not all men." Mars muttered under her breath.
"SO," Seven said loudly, "back to what Tana was saying." The rest of the group nodded and listened intently, "We're going to raid the dungeon, we've got the supplies thanks to yesterday's grinding session."
The rest of them started to laugh, but Seven just looked baffled, "What? What did I say?"
Tanadin put a careful hand on Seven's shoulder, "Grinding, Seven… you shouldn't say that, especially not in front of these guys."
"Oh, right." Seven said in realisation.
Day 16.
"Bloody, fucking, stupid, damned!" Mars jumped out of her bed yelling a string of swear words angrily.
Scara, the only other person in the apartment, looked up from her baking, "Did you die?"
"Yes," Mars said angrily, going through the chests looking for stuff to gear up and grab her stuff before it was lost, "Skeletons are the devil's work!"
"Vechs is often compared to a devil…" Scara said, returning to her baking.
"Seven was near me, he probably got my stuff for me…" Mars said hopefully as she pulled on a pair of leather boots and a chainmail vest.
"Go show those skeletons who's boss." Scara said in the way you'd talk to a child having tantrum.
"Like hell I will!"
Ten minutes later Mars was back swearing again.
Day 23.
"That was your fault." Scott said as he pushed open the door to their apartment. Scott and Shawn had gone out to get food for their dinner and they'd just returned, soaking wet.
"How was it my fault?!" Shawn demanded, "You were the idiot who ran at the damn thing!"
"I didn't know it was raining." Tanadin said with a smirk.
"It's not." Shawn said, pulling off his sopping wet armour, "Wool brain over there decided to take on a guardian!"
"No, you decided to take it on, I was helping."
Shawn scoffed, "I remember vividly seeing you run at it, it was ignoring us until you went to say hello."
"I thought it was attacking Clash!"
"Clash isn't in Valgarde you idiot! And it was attacking a burning skeleton who'd accidently shot it!"
"It could have been Clash."
"It wasn't." Shawn muttered. He sat down next to the furnace, "I refuse to go fishing with him again, that's twice I've been thrown in."
Tanadin frowned, "Guardians don't throw you into the water. Or pull you in for that matter."
"Guardians don't even spawn naturally." Seven added.
"He's right, Vechs must have been shitting himself watching you two." Mars said.
"But back to my question, how'd you get thrown in?"
Shawn mutter a string of words before he spoke up properly, "Scott tripped and pushed me in while doing it."
"The floor is very uneven." Scott said matter-of-factly.
"Your face will be uneven in an minute." Shawn replied.
Day 37.
There was a loud thud, shocking everyone awake in the middle of the night. This was followed by a loud cry of pain.
"Scott," Tanadin's voice could be heard in the dark, "Could you die quieter?"
"I think I broke my rib." Scott squeaked.
"Well go to hospital or something." Mars said grumpily.
"I can't walk with a broken rib!"
"Sure you can, it's like walking normally, but with a lot more pain." Tanadin replied.
There was the sound of footsteps then the bed creaked, followed by Shawn's voice, "Top bunk's mine now."
Day 42.
"I have sand in places I didn't know I had." Mars said as she tipped sand out of her boot. Vechs had created a new area, this one had sand. A lot of sand.
"Well if you hadn't fallen into that pit you probably would be less coated in the stuff." Tanadin said pointedly.
"There was a skeleton, it was the only way to escape."
"I think there were at least twelve other ways that didn't include you jumping head first into a sand pit."
Mars just shrugged, "I'm having a shower, I want to feel a little more human and a little less Sandman."
Day 50.
"To fifty days of madness!" Tanadin toasted.
"To fifty days of madness!" The rest of them cheered and clinked their glasses.
"I feel like we should do something special for this," Scara said.
"I think the dinner you and Mars prepared was special enough." Tanadin replied, "Best meal I've eaten in a while."
"I think not dying for a while is also good enough." Shawn said, making the rest of the group laugh.
They'd had a full meal and dessert for the first time since moving into their apartment, until then they'd just been eating bits and pieces they could afford.
It had been a mad few weeks. From Scott and Shawn's encounter with a guardian to Mars falling off a cliff because she was walking backwards.
The monstrous guild had had quite the time.
"I look forward to the next fifty days." Mars said with a grin, "And less death to baby zombies!" They all laughed and agreed, raising their glasses again with a cheer.

"I can and I am." Scott said defiantly. Mars whispered to Shawn to give up, he did so begrudgingly.
My favorite dialogue. (Everything between Shawn and I is my favorite actually, but this is the best)
