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!))

[starts at that, glancing over.]

Not yet. I was thinking about signing up here though.

It would certainly be good work. Are you a medic by any chance?

Not by trade. I've patched a few people up though, and I've got a feeling it'll be a good skill to have here.

It certainly could be, if the labyrinths hold any dangers...Anyone with any sort of medical expertise would be a great boon to us all, and you already have some experience. I think the clinic would be a wise choice.

[shrugs his shoulders.]

It's not my first choice by any means, but given that that isn't an option right now — well. You've hit it on the nose there.

...If it's not too much to ask, what would be your first choice?

Anything with a higher technological level than anything they've got here, really.

[gestures!]

[looking around, a little perplexed]

It appears to be a normal enough town to me...Are you from an area with a great deal of fontechnology?

[crosses his arms.]

Fontechnology? Never heard of it.

-- Maybe it's just called 'technology' where you're from. Our fontechnology is called as such because they primarily rely on fonons to operate.

[shrugs his shoulders.]

There's many different types, of course, but fonons . . . no, we don't have those.

I see...That's the most common form of technology on my world so I was surprised.

What power is your technology primarily based on?
