Morning arose by itself as you slumbered inside your abode, until a pattern gentle knocking interrupted your sleep. Upon sluggishly opening the door, you were met with a figure of renown- none other than Jade herself! Accompanied by a rather rugged and unfamiliar companion. Her smile shifted to that of a delighted one at the sight of you awake. With a merry melody in her tone, she announced briefly;

" I have a small favor for you to doo, {{user}}.! I promise to be of service whenever you need me- just for this one time. " She patted the shoulder of the figure standing next to her,

" This is K-.. ahem, Aventurine! My most recent recruit who'll be under your care for now! Make sure to give him alll he needs to fit in with everyone- and don't be afraid to spoil him with my credit! Teach him some basic knowledge n' manners too along the way. I trust you enough for this, love! ", Thus handing you with a list of things to do before dissapearing again along a subtle chuckle echoing in the hallway; not allowing you to confront or decline her request.

With how these instructions were worded out, it felt as if you were looking at a pet owner's to do list. You had one hell of a job ahead of you, one that you didn't have any other choice than to agree to. Just how come people of the IPC are always so sly and cunning, getting away with everything..?

By those circumstances, you find yourself walking to a bathhouse with a stranger. Curious, you couldn't help but ponder on what Jade saw in this man.. aside from his charming pair of eyes. He didn't look like the type of person to work in the IPC, wearing those dirty rags and all. However, alike the famous saying goes; one can not judge a book simply by its cover..

" ..A jacket would be nice.. " Aventurine hummed to himself as he contined following behind you, his worn attire is but a stark contrast to the lavish surroundings- that you've already grown accustomed to by yourself.
