He stops in front of the door, hesitates for a short moment and then lifts his hand, knocks on the door. "Hello." he calls out. "I, we are in need of your services."

Calarian spins around and announces, "Ah! Customers- excellent." He the strides back to the door and opens it, saying, "Greetings! Welcome to the Alley Detective Agency. Please, come in, sir."
"Our boss is out at the moment, but I am sure me and my... co-worker will be able to take your case."

@Elend Venture He waves back, even though she's gone already. He then turns to Nuemark, inspects him for a moment, and says "Well, as we are co-workers now, and will be working together, I suppose we should at least get to know each other a little bit. So what is your name?"

"No, thank you. You're hired. Just select a place in this room, make it your own, keep an eye out for anything suspicious, read the Alleyverse Post for news and stories, and try to spread the word so we can get more cases." Magnolia could tell that this man was much less qualified than Nuemark, but she was desperate. She was also unsure if he could be trusted. Nuemark had seemed much more open with her than Calarian had.

He seems momentarily surprised at how quickly he was hired, before composing himself and saying, "Excellent. I will be sure to keep my eye out." He pauses for a moment, before continuing, saying "Oh, and is it alright if I sleep here? I do not have any lodgings at the moment, unfortunately."

So, about pay. Are we going to assume there's a number of smaller, insignificant cases that pay the bills and salaries that we don't RP, and then the ones we actually RP are the ones initiated by the PCs? I'm not sure.

"And which 'particular skills' would those be? Please, give me more details. Tell me everything I would need to know as your employer." Including why you have a spike in your back, she thought to herself, hoping that his response would give her an answer.

"Of course. I was a minor nobleman on Scadrial, so I am excellent with money and finances, as well as any sort of social situation. As well as that, I am an excellent shot with my gun," he says as he pats the revolver on his hip. "And, as I mentioned, I am a Steelrunner, though, to be honest mi'lady, I have no experience using it. I got these steel bracelets just now, at a metallurgy shop." He gestures to the steelminds on his wrists. "Though, I got some candy bars at that very shop. Want one?" He digs some candy bars out of a pocket-  'Braize Bars'.

@DramaQueen "I am Calarian Kelar, Steelrunner and gentleman, at your service." He goes into a shallow bow, and as he does you notice a slim, sleek spike in his back, right under the neck.

"I noticed the hiring sign, and, and as I am new here and needed a job, I had to investigate."

"Unfortunately, I do not have a paper resume, but I assure you my particular skills will be an aid to you."

@DramaQueen @Elend Venture
Calarian was walking down the street, munching on one of the Braize Bars he had gotten from Cassandra Adama's shop (they were very good, he put a mental note to get some more once he had money) when he noticed the "Now Hiring" sign on the old warehouse. Hmm, he thought, A detective agency... detectives are regarded as intelligent, noteworthy. Detective Calarian, Calarian: Detective. He played around with the title in his head. Yes, this would be a good job for one of my stature. He, of course, has no detective skills at all, but he could certainly be useful.

He goes up, opens the door, and strides into the front room. Upon seeing the two people standing inside the dusty old room, he asks
"Which one of you is the owner of this establishment?"

He smiled. “I make them myself.”

"Excellent." He fishes through his pockets and digs out the extra boxings needed for the three Braize Bars, then picks everything up off the counter. He slips the netalminds onto his wrist, stuffs the Braize Bars into his pocket, and tips his hat to Poller. "Thank you. I would give a tip for your excellent service, but I am unfortunately out of money." Before Poller can respond, he turns around- is that a spike in his back?- and strolls out of the shop.

Meanwhile Poller perked up at the sound of another customer entering the shop. He decided to skip the monologue - he was rather tired. "Sure thing!" he said, speedwalking to the steel rack. "One steel bracelet, that's 15 chrysts, to boxings thats..."

Poller hesitated. "5 boxings? About? I'll round it to 5," he said, after seeing Cassie nodding at him.

 

Seeming almost surprised at the cost, he adds "In that case, I'll get two." Slipping the required amount of boxings onto the counter, he then glances over at where Poller keeps his sweets, and says "Oh, and finally, how much would a... ah... 'Braize Bar' be?

@Ashbringer Seeing as Cassandra was busy with another customer and- judging from their conversation- wouldn't be done anytime soon, Calarian decides to go to the other staff member in the store. He seemed practically done with his customer.

"Excuse me, my good sir, but could I get a steel metalmind? A bracelet, perhaps?"

He pauses for a moment, before saying "Oh, and I am new in this city and do not know the exchange rate of boxings to chrysts."

As the door opens yet again, a tall man in a bowler hat and fine suit causally strolls into the shop, carrying a fine wooden cane and a small revolver on his belt. He nearly bumps into Cassandra, who had not moved from the door, before stopping.
"Excuse me, m'lady-" He pauses for a moment, glancing around the shop- "But do you happen to be Cassandra Adama, the owner of this establishment?"

Thanks!

God, I just spent 45 minutes writing, rewriting, and then scrapping a question about Steelrunners. First, I was going to ask about a seeming contradiction in steelmind filling and relativity, then I realized that the problem could easily be solved when you add Intent. Then, I was going to ask a more general question about intent with a steelrunner example, until finally I realized it was a stupid question that I can answer myself, then I scrapped the whole thing.
That's an hour of my life I'll never get back. 
If your wondering how this pertains to the Alleyverse, the whole reason I was asking was that my first and currently only character submission was a steelrunner, and I needed to check some things.

Seems like she's unavailable- I can't quote it (or ping you, for that matter) since I'm new, but you can check the most recent post in her profile. Not sure about the other mods, though.

Hello! New here, but I have a lot of experience with FFRP.
