"What is our first course of action?", The Meta asked Sigma.
"Well do you just want to terrorize them or do you want a source of income."
"I think we should find a hide out before we do any of this. Unless you wanna be found by the idiot ponies", He said observing the city from a hill.
"Where could we hide so we wont be found?", sigma muttered more to himself than Meta.
"Eh eff it let's be a mercenary. To the closest message board!" Then the Meta began walking towards the city again. Sigma appeared on The Meta's shoulder and looked around.
"Wow this place is crap. Do you think they even have sewers here?"
The Meta just shrugged and walked on. The street was filled with shady characters, pickpockets, business men and women (mares and stallions? ) and murderers. The usual "big city" occupants.I should probably ask for so me directions to a message board or something. being a mercenary was ... is fun Meta thought.
The meta walked up to a red stallion with a blue and green mane. "Excuse us sir?", Sigma asked the stallion who turned to look at them. His eyes widened in fear and wonder at the six and a half foot tall beast and burning figure standing on its shoulder. "Could you possibly tell us where we can find a message board or place to find bounties and mercenary job offers?"
"Umm, yes sir. Our name is Fire Storm, we run a tavern a few blocks away. We have a hiring board there thou can acquire usage to receive job offers. Follow us tis but a five minute or so walk from here." Fire Storm looked them up and down for a moment before turning to take them to his bar.
"We wish to acquire thine name white titan, may we ask thyself of it?"
"His name is Meta, The Meta, or agent M-."
"I am no longer agent Main.", Meta cut in before Sigma could finish.
"Pardon that last one. That is no longer his name. By the way where did you learn to speak, if you don't mind my asking.", Sigma questioned.
"Not at all. We grew up homeless and learned to speak at a theater that only played Shakesponyan plays. We also learned to read through their old scripts", Fire Storm replied nonchalantly.
After another minute of silence Storm asked another question. "Two questions of thou, if thou doth mind. Thou hath never told us of thine name strange burning being."

"I am Sigma and I am a fragment."
"Aaahhh yes that answer thine second question."
"So what is the name of your fine establishment.", Sigma asked Fire Storm.
"Tis called Freddie Frazabeer's. Thy tavern is not as well know as some of the other taverns in town but we still make a fine brew. We're here thy friends.", He exclaimed as they stopped in front of homely little bar. They walked in and Meta looked around.
"The message board is over to thine's right. When thy finds a job come find thee. I shath be tending to the bar.", Storm said with a smile. The Meta just nodded and walked towards the board. It had jobs ranging from bounty-dead to escort.
Meta randomly chose a a bounty job.

"Dead or alive" The meta asked sigma as he pulled the page off the board.
"Hmmmm I am going to say alive because its more ... bits, for us but he'll be easier to handle dead. Quite the predicament. Lets take him alive but if he's to unruly we can take him in dead. Alright lets take this up to Fire Storm.
They turned and walked up to the bar. Meta knocked on the bar twice gaining the attention of Fire. He looked up from the conversation he was having with a sort of bipedal dog and gave them the one second gesture. He handed the dog a beer and took two small, golden, coins and put them into a pocket of the apron he was wearing and walked over. "What can thy do for thou? Doth thou find a quest?"
Meta slid the paper over the counter for him to look at. His eyes widened in shock as he read over the paper. They suddenly narrowed in anger. "Thy am glad thou took this quest. Thine first memory was of a guild member killing thine parents. They were part of this guild. I'll contact the quest giver and inform him that thou took the quest."
"I have a few questions if it's alright with you. What's a bit, and who was that you were talking to?", Sigma asked Fire. Appearing on Meta's shoulder.
He pulled out one of the small coins and showed the two. It was bronze with half a sun on one side and half a moon on the other. "This is a half bit. You can tell by it being bronze, a quarter bit is gold and has quarter of a sun and moon on it, a full bit is silver and has a full sun and moon on it.
"As for the diamond dog she's the reason thy get so much hate. Ponies even tried to arrest thy for. That is thine wife."
"Alright thank you." Meta turned and walked twords the door after gabbing the paper. "We'll be back in two or three days."
