delight_in_wtInitial Investigation
When I got home I dug through the pile of papers and messages (mostly Glorious Blue's bills and certification paperwork for her job) to find the ones for me. There were several leaves from my aunt and cousins (although none from Boomsy which would make me sad except I've already heard from him a bunch of times in Chirreb -- yay Scroll of Infinite Worlds!) and a couple leaves from friends. And yes, not just one but TWOmessages from the Furstylist's Guild. One was an envelope with a notice reinstating my license:
With a fancy seal at the bottom and the signature of the secretary of the guild.
The OTHER was even more mysterious. It came in a fancy little scroll case, and the scroll inside read:
With another fancy seal and signature at the bottom.
So I've thought about this a long time and all I can say is
.... What?
I still have no idea what's going on.

After due Consideration of the Claims registered against Defendant, the Orren known as Delight-in-Leather on the Twenty-Second day of Lage in the Year Forty-Three Hundred Eighty Five Since Creation, originally named Little Squirmy Girl (hereafter Defendant), the Vheshrame Guild of Furstylists does find said Claims baseless and without Merit. Accordingly, the Vheshrame Guild of Furstylists does remove the Suspension placed upon the License granted to Defendant. Defendent is free to resume furstylying Duties at her Discretion. No further Investigation is required or requested.

The OTHER was even more mysterious. It came in a fancy little scroll case, and the scroll inside read:
To the Furstylist Journeyman Orren Known as "Delight-in-Leather":
It having come to the Attention of the Guild of Furstylists that, in the course of ordinary Work, you have exhibited certain Skills at Furstyling of unusual and exceptional Quality, the Guild of Furstylists does extend this Invitation to Test for Furstylist, Master Class. If you wish to stand the Test, please contact the Secretary of the Guild at the Main Guild Hall to set a Time and a Place.

Not that your furstyling is anything but masterful, of course. This is simply not how guilds usually work.

I'll bet the lady you offended has lost favor in court.

Date: 2011-09-10 09:33 pm (UTC)It sounds like your old boss wanted you back because you have the opportunity for advancement in the guild, though I wonder if she's trying to hold you back or claim another "master" to her shop...
Anyway, I'd say it's wise to become a master, but not before you discover what masters have to do and who would get to boss you and so forth.
Anyway, my money is on either A) the woman who's fur you styled last getting a great deal of enjoyment out of it after all, and thus recommending you by way of apology/I-meant-to-do-that-syndrome (imagine a Sleeth who missed a jump), or B) one of her rivals enjoyed seeing her so distraught, and decided to get you promoted for it to snub her further.
Welcome to the Game of the Guild.
