Who: EVERYONE!!
When: Day 1, early morning but not so early that you'd encounter monsters from last night
Where: Port Perplex
What: You have arrived to the kingdom!

[you weren't sailing that treacherous sea for long--in fact, the ride seemed surprisingly swift, if not potentially sickening. but here you are now, standing in the port of Port Perplex, unloading yourself and your belongings as the old ship sounds its obnoxious horn for the seventh time. and, well, come to think of it, you're not the ONLY one getting off the ship!

on land, you and the others are bombarded by a crowd of cheering townsfolk! they throw confetti over you, try to drape flower neklaces around your neck, and also blast horns PROBABLY RIGHT IN YOUR EAR, ow.]

"Who are these people? Oh... OH! They're here to help us!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

"Please, have some petals. You like petals, yes?"

"IS MY HORN TOO LOUD FOR YA? WHAT? WHAT DIDJA SAY?"


[...anyway, it doesn't take long for them to disperse and leave you be, assuming you aren't getting caught up in their antics. should you explore further into the town, past the harbor, you'll find that the colorful town looks like it's on the brink of a festival--banners, streamers, bunting, balloons... they're everywhere! is it because of you? one might wonder, but you'll come to find that the town will always look like this from here on out. on the contrary, the beach/cliff area surrounding this little town leaves a LOT to be desired.

the Queen said you'd get a room of your own at the inn if you got a part-time job. well, the Dolph-Inn's visible in the distance. in an act of kindness, the innkeeper will gladly allow you to keep any of your stuff in a room until you get a job! however, should you return jobless by nightfall, the innkeeper will just as gladly toss your belongings onto the street and shove a cardboard box into your arms. yikes.

so... what are you up to?]

((QUICK LINKS: F.A.Q. - SETTING - THE INN - BUSINESSES & JOBS

NOTES: Just a reminder that job acquisition is ~handwaved~, ie nothing about it needs to be actually threaded, and you don't need modly approval to say if your character taking this job or that job is ok or not! It's in your hands, assuming your character takes a job!

ALSO backtagging is totally ok if you join in late, and you are certainly allowed to make posts of your own when you're ready! But just as a reminder, posts should steadily progress time in a linear fashion!))

Just a little bit of the shops, here and there.

Yes...I admit I'm still a bit surprised that a 'savior of the kingdom' is such a low-paying position that it necessities a part-time job.

Our payment for that is after the kingdom is saved.

-- Yes, the payment is. It still is surprising that there's no sort of living allowance. Usually a specialized task force hired by a government would have food and shelter provided for them as they work if they're not given a living allowance that's just enough for them to take care of their own needs...This kingdom may simply do things differently though.
ninetyninelives: (i'm going you tell me)

Specialized task force? We're nothing like that. We're volunteers.
glorious: (thought)

[personal profile] glorious 2015-08-13 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[...raising a brow.]

A specialized task force can be comprised of volunteers, and we've been given a specialized task to complete. But I think that's getting too much into semantics for a first meeting.
ninetyninelives: (give me the afternoon)

Maybe we're just used to a different way of doing things. This is exactly what I expected.
glorious: (intrigue)

[personal profile] glorious 2015-08-14 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed...It may be wise to be careful with any assumptions going forward. An entirely different world likely find some way to surprise all of us -- at least once.
glorious: (smug)

Either way...Thank you for speaking with me. It's good to get an idea of who I'm working with, and I also now have a better idea of how best to approach this new kingdom.
