"Oh yes," Halvard said. "In fact, I think we're right... here!"
The building Halvard stopped in front of was strangely utilitarian-looking for the home of a magical guild. A hanging, hand-carved wooden sign out front provided that touch of whimsy that seemed appropriate for magic-users, but the overall effect was stale and concrete. The front door was glass, and Halvard nudged it open for his nose. He considered changing back to his human form before remembering that his human form had trouble getting through doorways due to its height.
The inside of the guild hall was a strange blend of doctor's office and magic shop. The lobby smelled of incense, and the woman sitting at the desk had next to her both a crystal ball and a bowl of candy. The rug looked exotic, and as if, should one of the wizards wave their hand, it would rise up and take the chairs with it. But the walls were a plain blue-gray, and even had a fish tank embedded in them.
The woman at the desk rose toward them with supernatural speed. She wore draping, rhinestone-studded robes over what appeared to be a business suit. She dipped her glasses at the two of them humorously. "Let me guess--transformed off-worlder, am I right?"
Hal jumped back. "Ma'am, you are uncomfortably prescient."
"Of course I am," she chuckled in a slightly bored voice. "Come along, then. You--the handsome blue one. For preliminary purposes, could I have you state your name, your original species, and your home world? Oh. And." She grabbed the crystal off her desk, and waved it in front of Arthur's nose. "Speak into this, if you can."
I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!
I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!
