The Winter Formal sounded like just the sort of thing that Dana might like, and if Karl’s mental calculation was right, it came the day before her actual birthday.
This year would be a big one for Dana, as she had just turned eighteen.
Openly telling others that would be a bit awkward, though now that they were here on the shores of Lake Naraleddum, where the strongest of adventurers gathered, it wasn’t so unthinkable to be an Overlord before you were a proper adult.
"I will make sure that the ladies are ready for the Winter Formal. I’m sure that Lady Rae will make them something special so that they don’t look too impoverished." Karl joked.
The mostly Totem Ranked group laughed at his description.
There was no way that the ladies of the Darklight Host could be said to look impoverished. Even a single accessory on their body was worth more than the entire wardrobe of half the people they passed.
They could wear the simplest of Clerical hassocks, and still be flaunting their wealth with a single bracelet or ring on their finger.
"Will you be making accessories any time soon? Or are you focusing on armour and clothing?" One of the warriors asked.
"No, I will have accessories available in a few days. I’ve finished with the first big load of outfits, enough that it should hold everyone off for a few days.
Now, I can plan for the Winter Formal, help the rest of my beasts advance to Totem Rank, and work on accessories."
The warrior gave him a sheepish look.
Even as a crafter, he had a lot going on, and the monthly Totem Ranked Dungeon was coming soon as well. He would certainly be wanted for that, and he would need to have all his beasts ready beforehand.
Though, as they recalled, he didn’t actually need them in combat.
[Once we finish with this mass purchase, I have devised an intensive training program that should help everyone advance before the Dungeon run.] Karl informed the group.
Tian flexed, which made Thor and Hawk laugh.
He didn’t need the advancement, but some training would do the tiny fox good.
Hawk smirked and squawked, waking Cara up from a nap. She was on her back, feet in the air on a pile of loot, using the stolen Lich Lord’s sarcophagus as a mattress.
[Hmm?]
[Time to work. You need exercise and training. Karl says we should all be Totem for the next time we work.] The bird gloated.
Cara considered that for a moment. Playing with Karl sounded fun. But she was having a good dream.
[Sister, help me out here.]
