Gainful Employment (Taithrosa)

The building Aenysa pointed to was a strange sort of place - more like the leftovers of two buildings smooshed together than anything planned. It was as if someone had spackled on a rounded corner at the intersection and put in doors and windows.

When Taithrosa shoved his way into the office, he would likely see that though it was narrow and small, it was impeccably organized and actually didn't feel that tiny due to them planning the space so well.

Another smiling young girl looked up from a desk and waved him over. "Can I help you, sir?"

Taithrosa followed the directions and soon found himself standing in front of a small hole in the wall building as he remembered from past buildings that seemed similiar. That was one of the problems with his memories. He only got two types. The critical impactful ones that came at odd moments. And the flashes. These ones didn't really say anything but just a series of images ran through his head with no story attached to them.

He walked into the office and nodded his head in approval and then turned his silver eyes on the girl behind the desk. He tucked the collection of cards he had recieved from the girl into his pocket.

Stepping forward his blue skin even darker with out direct light he smiled friendly at the woman. "I was told that you might have a short time job that I could do to earn some extra Mizas?" He asked tilting his head to the right side slightly.

The woman behind the desk smiled and waved him to a chair opposite her. "Of course. My name is Trega, a pleasure to meet you. Now, what time frame are you looking for, and what sort of work? We try to match each person to the position they're best suited to fill," she said with a smile. "Why don't you start by telling me a little about yourself and why you've come to Syliras, hmm?"

"Greetings Trega." He said with a nod of his head. "Well I am actually just passing through so I will only be here for a couple of days before I will continue on. I have a little skilling his unarmed fighting, and some with medicines."

The woman opened a ledger in front of her as they began talking, and she jotted down a few notes in pencil. "Mmm-hmm. So you're looking for something short-term, nothing more than a day or two. Well, it's doubtful that I can find you something to do with medicines for such a few days." Dark eyes roamed over his body, and she tilted her head. "However, if you're willing to fight, I can likely get you in on a bout at The Spinning Coin. They do fights for entertainment. Nothing dangerous - this isn't Sunberth!" she laughed, reassuring him with a smile, "but if you've an eye towards testing your mettle I can set you up for that. Besides, it's not often you see an Akalak willing to put himself up for such things," she said cleverly.

Taithrosa thought about it for a moment before answering. "What exactly do we mean by fights? I understand not dangerous, but are we talking about with fist and feet, or knives?"

The woman smiled indulgently and tapped an idle finger against the desktop. "Most of the fights are without weapons, but if you're up for something more dangerous I'm sure Gene would be willing to oblige you. Like I said, we don't get very many Akalak willing to enter the ring, and I'm sure the bets will be enough to satisfy even him," she snorted.

"But should you wish, you can work that out with him," she said briskly, pulling a form from a box on her desk and picking up the quill to begin filling in the blanks on it. She asked a few more questions - his name, which he'd never given her, as well as his destination and expected time of residence in Syliras - and then pushed the form towards him to sign. "Just put your name here to confirm that you've received an employment opportunity at The Spinning Coin from the Welcome Center," she said, flipping to the back of the ledger and tearing out a piece of paper with the gambling house's information and instructions on how to find it.

He nodded his head, a strand of black hair falling across his ear. He prefeared not use weapons and fight with his fist. "No unarmed is better." He said and shurgged. "My name is Taithrosa Eldytia, and I will be in town four about three or four days." He said in answer to her questions. He then signed as she asked. He looked over the paper and then smiled at the woman. "Thank you."

He then turned to leave in the direction of the Gambling House. He walked quickly his seven foot frame easly noticed in the crowd.

The security at the Spinning Coin were more than happy to let Taithrosa in once they saw the slip of paper from the employment center, grinning wickedly at each other as they looked up at the rather large Akalak.

He was escorted through the gambling house, which sported a fighting ring and stage on one side and various tables on the other, with a bar fully taking up an entire wall. After a few moments' wait, a door opened and he was ushered into a back office.

Waiting for him was a man who looked like he was carved from granite and pain, shoulders slumped as he poured himself a drink. When he glanced over his shoulder at Taithrosa, his eyes were cold and dead as marbles.

"Said you was here to fight?" he asked, his voice just as dead as his gaze. "What do ya do?"

Taithrosa walked into the hall his eyebrow raised in amusement and interest. He himself hadn't ever been in a fighting ring but remembered his training in unarmed fighting and brawling. "I have training in unarmed fighting and brawling."
