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!))

[That gives Van cause to raise an eyebrow, but he easily laughs it off. He can appreciate those able to throw questions back at him; if only because it makes for a memorable first impression. He won't be finding himself struggling to remember this woman later, that's for certain.]

I am, actually. I wanted to try and meet everyone I'd be working with, before we're called in to deal with mazes and monsters.

My name is Van Grants. It's a pleasure to meet you.

R-Right, that's a good idea. [ Why didn't she think of it herself?

Well, maybe he won't mind if she carries it with her and uses it as an excuse to introduce herself to the others. If he does? It's not as if he has to know.
]

Oh yeah! I totally spaced out there on giving my name in return, didn't I?
glorious: Van with his eyes closed, looking amused (chuckle)

[Van bites his tongue to keep from laughing. She already seemed flustered enough without him laughing about the matter; and he has little intention of making her feel mocked.]

You did, but you don't need to share a name if you don't wish to. It'll simply be easier to work with someone when I know what to call them.

No way, it's nothing like that! [ It's just weird to be in a dimension where no one knows who she is.

Weird and a bit relaxing.
] I'm Jean.

Understood.

[Van bows his head to her politely by reflex.]

I'll be looking forward to working with you, Jean.

That's a relief. [ It truly is. It's always a pleasant experience when an older adult is willing to work with you, not above you. ]

When do you think she'll have us get to work? Right away, I was hoping...

We apparently need to find part-time work first...The Inn won't allow us to stay for free, even if we are saving the kingdom.
