<p>Broke, almost homeless, and recently fired. Those are my official reasons for answering a wanted ad for a skeevy-looking bartender gig.</p><p>It went downhill the moment they asked me to do a trial shift instead of an interview&mdash;to see if I&#39;d mesh with their 'special' clientele. I think that part went great. Their customers were complete dickheads, and I was an asshole right back. That&#39;s the definition of fitting in, right?</p><p>I expected to get thrown out on my ass. Instead, they&hellip;offered me the job?</p><p>It turns out this place isn&#39;t a bar. It&#39;s a <em>guild</em>. And the three cocky guys I drenched with a margarita during my trial? Yeah, they were mages. Either I&#39;m exactly the kind of takes-no-shit bartender this guild needs, or there&#39;s a good reason no one else wants to work here.</p><p>So what&#39;s a broke girl to do? Take the job, of course&mdash;with a pay raise.</p>
