There's no need to check your map twice. The Museum of Performing Arts is the tallest building in Armonia, and the newest, taking center stage in the village. With stone pillars supporting spiralling golden arches and crystalline statues stationed at the entrance, it certainly seems to deserve that spot, standing tall as a shining example of Armonian architecture. They say it took hundreds of Machoke just to carry the stone from the Sandstone Caves, and the statues were sculpted out of Nevermeltice. Steep alabaster steps pave the way to the gilded front gates, tossed open in welcome.

They are seldom closed. Access to the guild is not restricted to members; it also functions as a public art museum, theater, and library. You make a mental note to seek out these places later as you finally make your way inside. The red carpet stretching across the hall feels soft underneath your feet. Further ahead of you, a Leafeon and Glaceon stand poised to greet you. The Leafeon approaches you first, a friendly smile curving across his face. The rainbow of beads around his neck makes hollow click-clack noises with every step he takes.

User Image"Welcome to the Museum of Performing Arts!" He says. His voice is warm and pleasant to your ears. "My name is Lastera, and this is my brother, Niall. We are the curators of this guild. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

He inclines his head to you, his front paw leaning forward as he sinks down into a brief bow. He smells like fresh grass and flowers. "What brings you here today? Are you looking for the theater? It's just past us, on this very floor. We're currently hosting a wonderful play called Munna in Dream World. I highly recommend it... Unless you are looking for the library? That would be on the third floor." He nods at the spiral staircases flanking both ends of the hallway. The banisters gleam gold.

Suddenly, Lastera brightens, his large leaf-like ears twitching in excitement. "Or perhaps... you are a guild member?"

"The member quarters are upstairs, too..." The Glaceon, Niall, pipes up. His voice is soft, barely above a whisper. Noticeably, he has not made any moves to approach you, remaining safely behind Lastera. "On floors five through eight..."

"We also have a common room on the fifth floor." Lastera adds. "The fourth floor houses our art exhibits. And if you mean to visit the rehearsal hall behind the theater..." His smile widens. "I expect to see you later, in that case."

"But we really should be going... now." Niall mutters, gazing pointedly at the theater Lastera pointed out earlier. Lastera's ears p***k up, as if startled, but he turns to bow his head to you once more.

"Please enjoy your stay." He says, warmly. Then he turns to leave, steps quick but elegant, barely making noise against the tiled half of the floor. Niall trails after him. As they disappear, you can just make out his parting words: "And don't get lost..."
