Sherlock Holmes he/him Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 One of the soldiers walked over and stood near the priest. "Hello, you new?" she asked the woman who was talking to the priest. @kenod

"Hello, you new?" she asked the woman who was talking to the priest. @kenod Quote Not sure how appropriate woman is, given that she's only 17. Shade heard someone speak behind her and reflexively activated her powers. Calming down, she released them again, and turned around. "I am," she said, sounding scared.
Sherlock Holmes he/him Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Quote She just thinks of everyone as older than they are. Even my random NPCs have personality. The soldier clapped the woman on the shoulder. "Well, welcome!" @kenod

kenod Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Shade looked at the ground. "I just ... Needed a calm place to stay." She said.

"Well, this place is pretty calm with the amount of guild support we've gotten recently, so you've come to the right place." The soldier smiled her best friendly smile. She didn't like feeling like she was freaking people out.

The soldier smiled her best friendly smile. She didn't like feeling like she was freaking people out. "Alright," Shade said, a soft smile appearing on her face. "Is there anything you can tell me about this place, or other things that I should know about?"

"What kind of jobs are there?" She asked. "Well, we have teacher positions open, you could be a farmer's worker, you could be a soldier... work in a shop... We have a lot of options." She smiled.
kenod Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Shade thought for a bit. Being a teacher sounded nice, she felt, but she wondered what she could teach, thinking back to her own education. She shouldn't teach anything she had learned, she thought. "A simple job would probably be the best," she said, feeling embarrassed. "I don't really have much of an education. I can do basic math and reading, but I've never really learned anything else." Or at least nothing else that I should actually use, she thought. Edited May 15, 2019 by kenod word choice
Sherlock Holmes he/him Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 "Um, if you wanted to learn that sort of thing, our teachers could tutor you..." the soldier said. "And if you want a simple job, you can be a farmer's helper, or a teacher's helper, I guess. Depends on if you like kids."
kenod Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 A teacher's helper, Shade thought. She liked the idea, being able to work with children, to help them. Still, she wondered if she had any right to do something like that, given what she'd done. She focused back on the soldier. "Being a teacher's helper sounds nice," she said. "Still, I guess that's something I'd have to discuss with the priests, isn't it?"
Sherlock Holmes he/him Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 "Yeah, I don't really know anything about it," she said, shrugging and smiling. "And I think I have to get back to my shift." She waved at the new arrival, then jogged back to where her partner was standing and looking profoundly bored.
kenod Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Shade nodded, and gave a small wave to the woman. She then started walking in the direction the priests had indicated, looking for the high priest. Along the way she slightly used her ability, sighing in relief as she felt the gazes around her lessen. Softly Shade walked up to the door of the office, not sure if she wanted the high priest to be in or not. Nervously she knocked on the door. @Blessing of Potency Edited May 20, 2019 by kenod

"Um, sorry sir," she said, "I'm new, and the other priests told me I should come and see you?" @Blessing of Potency Edited May 22, 2019 by kenod

Trying to calm herself she looked at the priest. He looked kind, and reminded her of her uncle, back before everything happened. Somehow it made her feel more at ease, though she felt nervous at the comparison, wondering if this would end the same way. Edited June 3, 2019 by kenod punctuation
