Aranea Highwind will ICly be contacting characters and offering them jobs based off the assumption she will receive 30% of the cut. Due to the change in settings, Aranea has waved her fee and is allowing people to keep the full cut of the payment to help them get on their feet.



JOB #1 — DRAGON RESCUE

OUTCOMES:
- Vetmir promises 140 silver with delivery of a locket her son gave Alora.
- Sparing Alora's life will earn you her side of the story, where she had to defend herself after a drunken encounter with Vetmir's son. This earns you 40 silver in appreciation and the locket, which nets you Vetmir's 140 silver if delivered back for a total of 180 silver.

- Players can attempt repair the carriage and return the fruit back for cut of the food for free.

[His blade extends into a longer sword-like weapon in the nick of time; he's meeting Crowley with all the strength he can muster -- it's like an awkward game of sword tug of war for a moment. He's the one to dip back first, dip and lunge forward, making a swipe at his tum tum.

He'd have tried something more subtle if he thought he had enough time to be picky.]

[ Oh he's going for his tum tum. Weh.

A straightforward lunge is what beginners dodge, and it's with ease that Crowley side steps and with his unarmed hand he reaches and grips onto Keith's scrawny chicken arm—and promptly twists it. ]


Okay~ Are you done now? We've got something we need to do... unless you really wanna die.

[That would've prompted novice Keith to drop his blade, but not shitlord Keith.]

Who cares about the porcupine?! [Or whatever it is.] We're never gonna find it-!

[Keith lost all hope when Crowley stepped in dog shit and acted like his boots were Louis Vuitton. As if to dislodge his twisty arm from Crowley's grip, he'll bring a leg up and slam the muddy underside of his own boot(thing) against the perfectly white material of the vampire's thigh.]

[ Bitch what if they are?? And despite his pleasantries Crowley does seem to be losing his patience, which is evidently shown in the actions after Keith steps right onto his pants. ]

Not if you don't stop playing around, we won't.

[ So he lifts Keith overhead, swinging up and back down so that he lands square on his back against the ground. It's then that he actually brings his sword down and lodges it down into the soft earth right beside the young man's head. ]

So are you done throwing your little tantrum?

[STEPS ONTO HIS PANTS IS SO FUNNY.

He's lifted, and lands hard directly onto his back. Keith, being a squishy human beneath all of that bravado, is properly idle, even as that sword swings down on him. He's wincing -- cringing in anticipation...

But it's all for naught; the adrenaline wanes and he's left with an aching back. The pain flows out from that place of impact, down his arms, legs, newly wide-eyed with lax fists, breathing completely uneven. It feels much longer than it actually is -- the time between Crowley's question and his eventual response.]


Piss off.

[SCANDALOUS, HE COMES FROM A KIDS SHOW.]

[ WHO TOLD THIS BABY THAT HE COULD BE THIS VULGAR??? HE'S GROUNDED. ]

So that's a yes.

[ And he finally let's go. Taking a handful of steps back before he brings his sword back to his side. ] You should have saved the fighting for when we got back to town, I bet you scared off all the little critters we were supposed to find.

[YOU'RE NOT EVEN MY REAL DAD?

He's quiet for an extra, awkward moment, glaring off to the side, only prompted to move when he mentions how they've likely scared off the already-skittish animal. He rolls onto his side, onto his feet eventually -- hood up like a proper goth, and starts off in the completely opposite direction.

I'M GOING HOME.]
