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!))

[ looks up, shrugs a little ]

—uhh. . . I'm thinking over my options. It's a nice town, but you know. Not sure how much I dig getting paid for handing out flowers.

[ can you imagine me trying to teach sex ed, too ]

What better job could I get?

You could work at the clinic, or at the weapons shop.

[ pauses, thoughtful ]

I could work at the weapons shop.

[ . . . no that's too many sharp things ]

--Do you know much about weapon maintenance?
primetimehero: (pic#8566365)

[personal profile] primetimehero 2015-08-13 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Weapon maintenance?

[ like: that's a thing that exists? ]
swordhandled: (How are you supposed to eat rope?)

[personal profile] swordhandled 2015-08-13 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think swords, lances and axes maintain themselves on their own?

[personal profile] primetimehero 2015-08-13 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . I guess not.

No, but how hard could it be? If they're just hiring anyone.

And I can help teach you as well!

Either way it's better than like the library.

[ imagine: me. in a library. telling people to be quiet. ]

You know stuff about weapon mainte—I guess that's not surprising.

It was difficult to even bring you into the one at Aather for fun!

[ laughing ]

And amongst my companions at home, I am one of the best when it comes to keeping the weapons at their best shape.

Well, I mean, I guess books are kind of okay. You've convinced me of that—but you couldn't pay me to sit in there all day with all the money in the world.

[ laughing, himself ]

—oh, yeah? Somehow that's not surprising either. Maybe you should work in the weapons shop.

Perhaps if the Garrison does not work out, I shall look into it.
