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?]

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!))

[ pauses, that face is familiar ... ]

Ah, yes I am.

Then we'll be working together, so we should exchange names while we can.

My name is Van Grants.

That sounds like a good idea.

Makoto Tachibana. Pleasure to meet you.

It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Makoto. Are you settling in well so far?

For the most part. It's a very nice area here, though I'm still debating on where to work. What about yourself?

I'm still considering my options. The Garrison would seem to be the best use of my skills, but I wanted to speak with a few other people and see what they're considering for options.

Mm, the Garrison does seem like a very important job. I don't think my skills, or lack of, would be very suited for the place.

I'm leaning more toward either the Clinic, Flower Shop, or the Bakery and having a really hard time with it.

I know one person has been considering a job at the Clinic and another is taking a job at the Bakery. If we want to try and make sure our group covered each job, then the Flower Shop would likely be most in need of help.

However, if we're likely to be facing dangers in the maze, then more people in the Clinic would certainly be helpful to all of us.

It sounds like it might be fairly easy to transition from one job to another. Perhaps I could try out various ones to see what's best suited for me and start with the flower shop. If these labyrinths are dangerous, then I can always reconsider where I'm working.

[nods]

True enough...Hopefully our employers wouldn't be too upset to see their employees leave for another business.

I'm sure if things are covered, it should be fine. I wouldn't be against helping both places, of course.

Working two part-time jobs...You sound like quite the achiever.

I just wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone. Besides, it's a good way to pass the time.
