SHUSH LEVI I AM THE BEST LEADER.

[bufudine]

Who: Serph, Cielo and YOU!
Location: Starting in the plaza! Anywhere else is fine, too.
Time: During the daaaaaay
Style: ANYTHING GOES.
Status: OPEN

[ Hello dear Vatheon, how are you? Good? Good, because you've got two rather oddly dressed guys in your plaza. They don't seem to be bothered at all by the fact they're dripping wet, though the one with the dreadlocks is carrying a submachine gun. Every now and again, they converse with each other, but they don't seem aggressive.

Approach? ... Well, even if you don't, they will be approaching you. ]

Re: It's like dealing with fully grown children! ; A;

[She looks at Cielo curiously. Why do you need to pay? He must be part of a tribal or family oriented society of some sort.]

In large societies, people require payment in exchange for their work. It's impossible to know and trust everyone, after all, so an exchange of goods and services is inefficient. Exchanging money that can be traded for anything is far easier. The money is handled by the current leader of the government. Here in Vatheon, your card will accumulate money as you work.

[Zelda takes out her own card to indicate what she's talking about.]

Of course, most of this explanation is merely for academic purposes. You do not need to worry overly much about working in Vatheon. We are mostly provided for. You will only need money to buy items from other worlds. Since we are torn here away from our worlds, the locals allow us to stay in any of the residential areas for free. Necessities are free as well.

[The card is Vatheon's equivalent of a tag ring. Gotcha.

There's no Tribes here, but that doesn't mean you can trust anyone. If both sides gain something from an agreement, anything from money to goods to services, then you should be able to trust them, because it's in both your favors, right? And yet, people here also give things away for free?]

Oh, okay. I think I'm starting to get it.

[He taps his head with a finger. All this thinking in such a short time is tiring. How does Gale do it?]

...still weird, though.

[bufudine]

[ ...Society? He guesses that's a group of people. But, impossible to know and trust everyone-- pffffff Serph would give you a good run for your money.

Oh, government is a Tribe, right? Weird that the leader would handle all the money, but not all Tribes are run like his.

Serph can tell already there's going to be lots of things in Vatheon that they won't be familiar with. He thinks it will be best if they had some of these 'starfish tokens'; if they can obtain things from their world, at least they know for certain what those items do. Safer than eating questionable things, anyway. ]

How do we... 'get a job'?

Haha, she thinks they're kind of cute.

[zelda_hylia]

You simply apply for one. If you're wanting Starfish Tokens, I would suggest working part-time at one of the local shops. It is mundane work, but easy enough. All you have to do is ask the owner if there are any positions open.

[Zelda grabs two of the many readily available towels and holds them out to the pair.]

Here, so you can dry off a bit.

They have that effect on people

[rainbowarch]

[Being wet doesn't bother Cielo in the least, but he takes one of the towel and starts drying his hair off anyway.]

Thanks...anything else you wanna ask, Serph?

They are the most adorable cannibals she'll ever meet :3

[bufudine]

[ Getting a job sounds easy enough, though there's the matter of telling the foreigners apart from the locals. ...Well, it's not like they can't ask a stranger if they have a tattoo.

He's already dried his hair with the earlier towel and as far as Serph's concerned, that's all he needs to dry, so he doesn't take the extra towel. But he does give a small nod of appreciation. ]

Your name.

[zelda_hylia]

[The fairies had their uses - being able to tell foreigners on sight was one of them.]

My name is Zelda. It's a pleasure to meet both of you.

[So long as you don't go pointing the gun anywhere.]

[rainbowarch]

Zelda, huh? Pretty name.

[He'll keep this thing under control. Cielo might cart this submachine gun wherever he goes, but he only uses it when he has to. Instead Zelda, you get a smile for being so nice and helpful!]

I guess I already told you Serph's name, ja? I'm Cielo.

[bufudine]

[ Zelda... woman with yellow hair and Pixie ears. He can remember that.

Serph gives her a small nod. ]

Thank you for the help.

[ Most people would smile when giving thanks, but this is Serph, master of the lineface. ]
