Mat Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Phillip walks over to the list of employee jobs and expectations, and finds the Deskboi entry: Quote (Fadran wrote it) Deskboi: A Deskboi must know anything and everything about comic books, tabletop RPGs, old animes, movies, video games, and conspiracy theories, to correct any customer who enters the Nerd Game Store thinking they know more. A true Nerd Deskboi will always be within ten feet of cosplay, and surrounded with the 7-dice sets at all times. He rubs his chin, admitting to himself that he might be... lacking... in some of those areas. But he could manage. He had been a big fan of Majyk: Da Gaathurring and Dongens n' Drakgons as a boy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Queen walks into the inn, exhausted. "I'll take a room." She says, trudging up the stairs. Ella sighed, finally reaching the library. She looked up. And up. And up. Books climbed the walls, reaching higher than anything that had an end. She got to work here? It was a dream come true.

Nathrangking Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Maximilian climbs the stairs and goes to his room. Once he is inside he closes the door and locks it. He mutters a several words under his breath and his luggage appears in his room from the aether. With a wave of his hand his luggage unpacks itself. He walks over to the bed and collapses into unconsciousness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it was next to the Rave Room. That would likely be useful. In fact, Phillip soon passed a closed door where he could here loud upbeat music coming from the inside. He concluded that this was the Rave Room, using his Nerd skills and proving himself to be a viable Deskboi. Looking around, it was then obvious who Xandathar was. The giant poster of a black demon surrounded by lava was a dead giveaway, that and the cryptic cursive lettering at the bottom of the poster reading Xandathar. He poked his head in the door that fit the requirements. "Hello?" Quote Also night, all! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spren of Kindness Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Quote This took me to long to get around too. Kindness is around, though a little more reserved. She is a Portal Operator, so if you need a, well, a Portal Operator (man, I wish I didn't have to use the same words twice in a sentence.), just tag me, as I probably am not going to do a very good job keeping up with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to leave this post to put the vending machine back, and my knowledge of nerdy stuff is rather low. I'm sure you'll do great! See you!" Shay responds to Phillip. "Well..." The person who was seated at the desk prior to his arrival left promptly, and Phillip's voice trailed off. He had... no idea of what to do. Well, he thought to himself, might as well go behind the desk. Behind the glass desk that doubled as a display case- showcasing numerous fantasy character models and video game discs- there was a note of instructions, a comfy chair, and a mini fridge hidden under the solid part of the counter, where the cash register was. Phillip examined the note, which read as follows: Quote Welcome New Employee! Things you should know: Opening time is at 7:00 am sharp! Closing time is 5:00 pm on weekdays, with a 7:00 pm closing on weekends Lunch is from 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm You are allotted 2 half-hour breaks a day. There is a 'come back soon' sign under the counter to use when away. Contact @Channelknight Fadran, @Manager, or @UnderManager if you have any questions! Phillip blinked at the hours. Wasn't there shifts, or something? He checked the clock, which was detailed with a picture of Zyndarfaorn from Shadow kNights, which read 6:54 am. Blast! Looks like his first shift was to be soon. He strode to the entry door, turned on the 'open' sign, and walked back behind the desk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
