Location [Riverfall] The Citizenship, Housing, and Labor Aid Office

[Alyra]

11th of Summer, 514 AV

Alyra walked into the Labor Aid Office hesitantly. She had been putting off finding a job for days, and she was none too happy about being forced to find one now. It wasn't that she didn't want to pull her own weight, or that she was particularly lazy. Instead, it was because of the impending disappointment. The eth knew that she wouldn't be able to get a job that reflected her dreams. She had no outstanding skills or abilities, and the skills she did have seemed useless.

Nevertheless, if she were to follow Syna's guidance and stay in Riverfall, then she'd need to get a job. So, despite her resentment, Alyra walked up to the counter and smiled warmly.

"I need some help finding a job, if you wouldn't mind." Alyra was about to launch into an explanation of her situation when the Akalak slid a paper across the counter.

"I don't mind, it's my job. Fill this out and bring it back, please." The man spoke as Alyra took the paper. She wasn't quite sure how to interpret the "it's my job" bit, but she shrugged away the offense. After all, this was his job; dealing with the unemployed all day long, every day, must be tedious. Any anger, or boredom, he held was understandable.

Name: Alyra
Race: Ethaefal
Age: 6 years
Relevant Skills: Leadership. Teaching, Animal Husbandry,
Preferred Employment: Teacher/tutor, Nanny, Library Attendant
Expected Stay In Riverfall: Indefinitely

"Here we are." Alyra handed the form back to the man, waiting for a response.

[Yra]

61st of Summer, 514 AV. It had been all but ten days since Yra emerged from the glistening Suvan, memories of the Goldenlands plaguing her as she interacted with her saviours, the Svefra who took her in, and she found this strange city with her jewel-coloured natives to be strange. She was not naive, though: a good life required service. She needed to work for her place, for her livelihood, and although she did not know how long Eilin and Calin would keep their ships moored, she sought employment regardless. Directions brought her to the Housing and Labour Aid Office. The press of bodies, colourful and not, agitated her. She stood as tall as she could in her golden form, orange eyes alight with thoughts, and awaited her turn. When it came and she stepped forward a last time, she smiled at the attendant waiting. "I would like a form so I may find employment," she said, sweetly as she could. Provided with the slip, she took it aside and filled it out. Once complete, she returned it to the attendant, prim and proper and stiff. Now, came the wait as options were provided. Name: Yra. Race: Ethaefal. Age: Less than a year. Relevant Skills: Cutlass, violin, sailing, leadership. Preferred Employment: Entertainment. Expected Stay In Riverfall: Indefinite.

[Ashford Yendorin]

Late Morning, 71st of Summer, 514 AV Ashford stepped forward and grabbed the Labor Assistance form after receiving direction from the Akalak at the desk. he stepped to the side putting down his belongings and swiftly filled out the form. Name: Ashford Yendorin Race: Human Mixed (Drykas) Age: 37 Relevant Skills: Animal Husbandry, Intelligence, Philosophy, Writing, Birdkeeping, Wilderness Survival Preferred Employment: Working with Animals, Assistant Scholary work, Port Authority Laborer Expected Stay In Riverfall: Remainder of the Summer & through Fall Season Ashford finishes and hands over the form. Malin, the Akalak at the desk, introduces himself. "Welcome! It says you will be staying through Fall Season. What brings you to Riverfall?" Ashford shares with enthusiasm, "I have a family heritage near Riverfall. I am looking for a start after attending the University of Zeltiva. I'm uncertain how permanent I will reside after this coming season. It is a pleasure to meet you." Ashford recognizing the importance of social interaction and the difference of custom in Riverfall politely answers. His true interest in the short term is to establish himself in the region as a scholar, keep to himself as much as possible raising animals, and with any hope for the long term, gain a connection with his mother's horseman clan and open a successful business. Ashford's love of the sea will always exist, but with age and education his real interests are developing skills that will bring peace with nature and to all those he encounters. His thoughts of his goals flutter across his mind as he listens to Malin's Labor options.

[Lyr]

Third day of Winter, 514 AV Lyr walked into the Labor Aid office. She felt official walking through the doors, and Lyr liked official. She approached the desk, "Good morning." She said, and the attendant there returned the greeting. "I am looking for a job." The Akalak passed her a form. Lyr went to sit and fill it out. It was easy, though her resume was pitifully bare. The hardest part was listing preferred employment, she hadn't had many jobs, so she simply put down anything that might interest her, or what she thought she could excel at. Name: Lyr Race: Ethaefal Age: Over one year. Relevant Skills: Astrology, Astronomy, Writing. Preferred Employment: Library assistant, scribe, apprentice healer or animal handler. Anything artistic or literary, or even sewing. Expected Stay In Riverfall: Indefinite. Lyr returned the form, "I really don't know any of the jobs around here, I expect you can help? She said, looking to the man at the desk.

[Gillie Dhu]

50th of Summer, 514 AV

Gillie Dhu waltzed into the Labor Aid Office, hands in his pockets and his usual (slightly unnerving) smirk on his face. He withdrew both hands quickly as he made eye contact with a husky Akalak who brushed past him. He ran both hands through his thick, tousled black hair and grinned like he owned the place.

He didn't, but he certainly looked like it.

In fact, he barely owned anything. Money was tight, and his shady "errand-running" jobs weren't bringing in the Mizas he needed to thrive on. Gillie figured it was about time for some more stable employment. At least until he could establish himself. Maybe even apply for Kuvan citizenship one day.

"Hey, man," he said with a grin, approaching the desk where an Akalak (either Malin or Malix, he wasn't sure which) was seated, "could you tell me where the Labor Assistance Forms are?"

The Akalak directed him to the proper document, saying, "Please fill out the following..."

Gillie took one and began to fill it out. He wasn't exactly sure what sort of job his resume would turn up, but hopefully it would be something exciting.

He slid the form across the desk to the Akalak on the other side. "Here ya go."

Name: Gillie Dhu
Race: Human
Age: 18
Relevant Skills: Tactics, Tracking, Acrobatics, Larceny, Negotiation
Preferred Employment: Something secretive; involving intelligence-gathering. That'd be cool.
Expected Stay In Riverfall: Not sure. Could be a while.

[Moratos]

51st of Summer, 514 AV

Moratos strode into the building and thought "I'm an Akalak, at least that is in my favor."

He slid his Lakan into a more visible position and approached the labor office asking "Can I get a Labor Assistance form?"

The officer pushed forward a single form that read "Labor Assistance", Moratos grinned and said "That looks to be the one."

After filling the form out Moratos slid the form back and hoped his father's history lessons would serve him well.

Name: Moratos
Race: Akalak
Age: 33
Relevant Skills: History, Armourer, Unarmed Combat, Lakan Skill.
Preferred Employment: Preferably something to do with history, but anything goes really.

[Salumi Ahera]

10th of Summer, 514 AV

Of all the soaring and impressive buildings built to show their prowess and impose on those entering the city with the importance of each ediface, Lumi found the small, calm facade before her somewhat reassuring.

She entered with a small smile, glancing around the busy outside as she did but not wanting to appear too lost, lest she talk herself out of earning some mizas. She'd saved up for months now and while an income was an ideal thing to have; so was freedom. But eating in Riverfall wasn't cheap, even if she did sleep out in the bay.

'Lumi glided over the polished floor with a lithe ease, turning her head from side to side, she'd let her cloak fall off her face today so she had better visibility and she was happy to see these Akalak seemed used to outsiders at least. Her sandals made little noise as she joined the queue waiting at the desk and politely waited for the secretaries to get to her. After a while, and a little bit of chatter from others ahead of her, the polite man asked her business and handed her the job regristation form. She didn't really know what kind of jobs they'd have for her, so she put down everything she could.

Name:Salumi Ahera
Race:Charodae
Age: 19
Relevant Skills: Coral Manipulation, Wilderness survival, Crafting (knick-knacks), Dancing, Architecture, Glyphing, Magecraft

2 seasons

[Jeremy Casing]

2nd Fall, 514AV

Jeremy was rejuvenated.

He strode into the Labor aid office with such gusto that the two women standing closest to the entrance turned towards him with raised eyebrows.

He was going to get a job!

His chest heaved, a mixture of his heavy breathing (he had practically ran to the Office) and his immense pride and confidence. Where had all this energy, exuberance come from? He was usually quiet, critical, watching people from a far and observing them silently. But this morning he had pranced his way through the street, smiling and waving at complete strangers. They returned his friendliness with a mixture of equally cheerful smiles and whispered curses. The latter did not knock Jeremy's confidence

"Good morning, I am here for a job." He said brightly, leaning charismatically upon the table in front of him. The gentleman on the other side seemed momentarily taken aback by this outburst, but after a few ticks he slid over a piece of paper to the Kelvic, and instructed that he complete the form.

Jeremy nodded, setting to his task with the dedication and determination a famed hero might place on saving a damsel in distress. He was Jeremy Casings, and he was enthusiastic!

His zeal almost faltered, however, when faced with the third question: relevent skills. As a boy, his father had tried to get Jeremy interested in some sort of work experience; be it baking, blacksmithing, dog training, anything. But the young Kelvic had been largely disinterested, and ultimately his own lack of confidence had made him withdraw from any such opportunities.

Once the form was completed, Jeremy returned it to the gentleman opposite him. His relevant skills (strangely physical, for such a gangly young man) were completely unmatched to his answer of the fourth question. He explained himself: "I would like to work with people, in any given situation. I want to be surrounded with various people."

oocI thought I'd make the most of the seasonal event and have Jeremy want to work in a really busy, people-centred business, when he's actually quite quiet and prefers to observe others before throwing himself into the mix. Hope this is okay!


Name: Jeremy Casing
Race: Kelvic
Age: 3
Relevant Skills: Unarmed combat, wilderness survival, hunting.
Preferred Employment: Waiter/barman/etc.
Expected Stay In Riverfall: At least until hr end of the season, if not longer.
