Javajoo Takes a Walk

Javajoo Takes a Walk

The Auction House hasn't been much fun the past few days. Too many farmers ruining Java's usually smooth running apparatus. Java figured it was time for a break when she found herself buying cheap silkweave bags for 600g and selling them with barely 100g in profit. Her heart just wasn't into it.

It was time Java took a look at her world again. Skyfire Triage is where she left off on her last flyabout. Her memory is pretty vague as it's been some time. Just a reminder that Java is a Level 107 about two-thirds toward level 108. Her gear level is i755. This will be her first foray since the last computer crash, so forgive her if she is a little rusty in combat.

She spent a day in Highmountain and got aquainted with Stormheim. Unused to hard terrain, she did not get a lot of progress, and when she finally called it quits she knew she would be sore for a week. Java was elated when her efforts resulted in attaining Level 108 and improved her gear from i755 to i760. At the end of the day, there was one thing she knew for sure - Java was not going back to the Auction House.

Java's announcement started a tornado. It seems that no one wanted the job to begin with and no one wanted it now. Attempts to talk Java out of it came up short. She had taken her turn at the Auction House and had the right to finish her leveling.
A lot of the attention then turned to Atkar. Sista butted in before Tiphaine could say something she might regret later.

Seeing Sista step forward, Tiphaine held her tongue, waiting to see how things went. "Atkar is still learning her professions. Her assistance has already earned the family gold and useful gear. I need her out there farming, not at the Auction House." There were dark looks, and the argument grew.
A low, vibrating growl quieted the room. It was Chaitee's cat, Taz. Chaitee spoke into the sudden silence. "I will take it back," Chaitee declared. "You goons don't know how to run an Auction House, anyway." She said it with a smile.

The last time the reins of the Auction House turned over it was turmoil. Java had done her best, but Chaitee was the more practiced at it. She quietly relished the challenge to improve on Java's small successes. This is how it went: (1) Chaitee inherited all of the purchased goods still in the Mailbox. She will begin her first day with 810,000 gold. (2) She  cleared all of Java's  active bids and sent those mats back to Chiatee. (3) Once that is done there will be no backlog of purchased goods to rely on. (4) With no backlog of mats, Chaitee will be working from scratch.

And now Java is free to pursue her own dreams of completing her leveling.
