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!))

[well Rideaux isn't paying you any attention, sir, so observe away! You're a tricksy man, Van Grants. A tricksy man indeed.]

[I am indeed a very tricksy man...but also there comes a point where observation only goes so far. Lets see how quickly this man bounces back once he realizes someone is watching.]

Are you having difficulties?

[Snaps to attention—! And then snaps the GHS shut and pockets it, this is clearly going nowhere.]

The first of many, I'm sure. I can already tell that this place is going to be quite the chore.
glorious: (blather)

"A chore" certainly seems likely...We've been asked to take on part-time jobs as well, as saving the kingdom isn't enough to pay for room and board.

The fools can't even support their own businesses—it's no wonder they need us to get rid of their supposed labyrinths. I'm almost embarrassed for them.
glorious: (negotiate)

[personal profile] glorious 2015-08-16 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
They even need someone else to be embarrassed for them? They certainly are in a sorry state if it has come to that.

That's always the way, don't you think? Those with the most reason to be ashamed are always the least likely to realise it.
glorious: (smug)

Mhm, true enough...Ignorance is a truly insidious thing like that.

It seems like that won't be a problem for you at least.

[Oh, you flatterer ♥]

Rideaux. It's a pleasure to meet at least one person with two brain cells to rub together.
glorious: Van with his eyes closed, looking amused (chuckle)

[personal profile] glorious 2015-08-16 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I may even have three.

And the pleasure is all mine, Rideaux. Call me Van, Van Grants.
