Snippet #2132716

The sun shined brilliantly against the clear blue sky. Clouds lazily drifted across the blue canvas, accentuating the lackadaisical feel of the day. All in all, Emily was feeling good. This would be her first day in a new guild that held lots of promise for her. She would not only be able to support herself but also advance her light magic skills as well. Bonus! Now she just had to worry about the most dreaded aspect of social interaction... First impressions... Isn't that just dandy?

Emily lightly slapped her hands to her face and released a breath she didn't know she had been holding. "Calm down Em. They'll like you. They've gotta like you. You're pretty! You're peppy! You're excited! You're..." Emily looked up at the grand guild hall and her stomach was filled with a swarm of rabid, flesh eating moths. Not butterflies... Moths. Big difference.

"TOTALLY FREAKING OUT! What if they don't like me? What if they think I'm ditzy? Oh man, I'm starting to get dizzy."

Emily dropped to the ground in a dramatic display of blustering insecurity. She looked up at the sky and let the sun soak her face until her eyes began to burn. She blinked and puffed a breath of air to her bangs then dropped her head between her knees. She began to whisper to herself. "Look to the brightest star for thy strength and character. Forget thy ways and run to the light. So saith the stars... Alright let's do this."

Emily took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. When she opened her eyes, they burned with steely determination. She jumped to her feet and exclaimed "Let's do this! Woooo!"

She ran to the guild's door and froze up just as her hand was about to open it. She stood like that for a bit and then deflated. "Heheh. I still can't do it. Man, I'm freakin out."
