[ Evie's been here long enough to get a very basic lay of the land. It was interesting, the different zones and such. How each one looked. The people in it. She wasn't home in Auradon, that was certain. And after much looking and hoping, Evie was starting to lose faith that anyone from home had made it here, either.

So now, she had to make her own way. Which was fine. After all, she did have her own starter castle at home, and she got a really good deal on it.

Here, she had a room on a ship and she couldn't at all help the brief thought that Harry Hook would be very, very amused. Or jealous if he were assigned to somewhere else.

But she needed a job. As soon as possible, so she sends out a text and hopes for a bite or two. ]

Hello. My name is Evie Grimhilde. I'm eighteen years old and I'm looking for a job. I'm great in a kitchen, even better with clothing design and sewing. If anyone has anything along those lines that I could do, please let me know. I arrived here just a few days ago and was hoping to find friends from home here, so if anyone knows of the kingdom of Auradon or the Isle of the Lost, please let me know.

Genessia is a huge city, after all. Maybe I just missed seeing my friends?

THank you for your time,
Evie Grimhilde

GREETINGS, EVIE! I'M THE GREAT PAPYRUS!! THE GREAT CITY THAT I'M GUARDIANING RIGHT NOW HAS MANY OPEN SPOTS FOR SOMEONE WITH YOUR SKILLS!

THERE'S THE DRUNKEN MONEY, WHICH IS A TERRIBLE NAME THAT YOU PROBABLY SHOULD AVOID.

THEN THERE'S CAKE TOWN!! THAT'S AT THE INN MY GOOD FRIEND OKITA WORKS AT. IF I WASN'T SLEEPING AT HQ (WHICH I ALMOST NEVER DO, DON'T WORRY!), I'D DEFINITELY STAY THERE!! THE COOKIES THEY MAKE ARE VERY CUTE AND CONTAIN LITTLE TO NO GREASE!

BUT IF YOU LIKE SEWING MORE THAN COOKING--WHICH I WON'T JUDGE!--THERE'S JULIET'S LAIR! THEY SPECIALIZE IN UNDERGARMENTS. LET'S NOT SAY MORE ABOUT UNMENTIONABLES!!

ALAS, I ONLY KNOW TWO KINGDOMS: MINE, AND FAYREN'S. BUT IF YOU CAN'T FIND ANY OLD FRIENDS, THERE'S ALWAYS PLENTY OF NEW'S!!

[wink wink]

[ He texts like Carlos. Carlos is ALL CAPS and Evie can't help but feel, just momentarily, that she's being yelled at. Still, she's very grateful for the help. ]

Thank you, Papyrus. It's a pleasure to meet you, and I thank you for your help.

I might look towards Cake Town for now, but I'll certainly keep Juliet's Lair in mind as another idea.

And new friends are always golden. So far, I've yet to make any, but in my defense I'm still adjusting to being somewhere else.

[<Small

[A common reaction that a real-life meeting would reinforce.]

YOU'RE WELCOME!!! YOU'RE CERTAINLY NOT THE FIRST PERSON WHO NEEDED ADJUSTING, BUT EVENTUALLY EVERYBODY GETS THE HANG OF IT, AND I BELIEVE YOU WILL TOO!

YEAH, OR MADE OF BONES! NEW FRIENDS COME IN MANY HANDSOME SHAPES AND SIZES. YOU'LL SEE!!

Oh your name sounds very demon. Are you a demon?

I don't know if I can help with a job. I work at a bar in Genessia but it's not my bar. But if you're a demon I'll see what I can do.

I am not a demon.

[ That surely was a question.]

I don't know that working in a bar is for me, but thank you very much. What's your name?

[ Well, her name sounds like a Demon's! It's not Vera's fault that in her world, demonic has a German sound to it. ]

I'm sure I could figure out something if you need the help.

I'm Vera the demon lord.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Vera.

[ Evie wouldn't fault her. Her name does mean “grim, ruthless, person wearing a face mask, (helmet of battle, battle mask)". So she can understand. ]

I think I might be taking a job with someone who needs clothing designed a specific way, but thank you. If it doesn't pan out, I'll absolutely give you a shout.

You actually found a job in clothing design so quickly? Your skills must be amazing. I look forward to seeing your work.

I designed and made dresses for friends back home during prep school. When I got out, I'd made enough money to buy my own starter castle.

Oh! Is that impressive? How expensive are castles?

They aren’t cheap. I got a good deal, but still.

Good for you then! I'm suitably impressed. I might even open a position for you as a Dark General you should ever need a break from clothing design.

I'll also keep my eyes open for good deals on castles. Or if I decide to build one.

What would being a Dark General entail, just out of curiosity?

How y' feel 'bout doin' designs for folk that ain't human?

Also if y' don't mind the desert, I got a whole buncha shit goin' on out in Windgate Creek. Once I get more folk out there workin', we're gonna need a good cook. Pay y' regular for the cookin' an' commission for designs, whaddy' think?

I've no problem with people that aren't entirely human. My best friend is a dragon.

And I don't mind the desert. I can adapt.

Got a portfolio or some shit? Wanna see if yer style matches up t' mine.

I didn’t arrive with a portfolio, sadly. But I don’t make people wear my styles. I work to make sure people are wearing their own.

Oh yeah good point, y' jus' said y's new. A'ight, how 'bout I kit y' up t' make one? Whatcha need?

Bein' versatile's good, but y' gotta have a bit a yer own passion in it too, don'tcha?

I usually make a portfolio out of a sketch pad and fabric samples, so people get an idea of what I'm capable of. And then there are photographs of the finished products attached when they're done.

So I'll transfer y' some red bills an' y' can grab some not-shitty paper, some good markers or paints or whatever y' use, an' a buncha fabric t' get yerself started. Sound good?

That sounds amazing. Thank you so much!

Do a good job makin' me look 'mazin' an' y'll have earned it. Anyway 's on the way.

So yer from an island too, eh? What's it like?

You'll look the best you've ever looked.

I was born on a prison island. My mother was put there after trying to have a girl assassinated and then tried poisoning her herself. I lived there until I was fifteen and then the king of where I'm from decided the kids born on that island didn't deserve to be there, so he chose four of us to live on the main land. I was one of them.

The isle wasn't really that great. Food was always of questionable freshness, not many could be trusted. There was a barrier to keep people from leaving, and we couldn't use magic.

Nice to mee you Evie. My name is Momiji Sohma. 15 years old and work at a cafe that has rabbits in it. I heard there are other cafes with animal themes with them too, but I went with that one.

Not sure if that is what you are looking for though.

It might be something I'll take into consideration for now, if other offers don't pan out. Thank you very much Momiji. It's a pleasure to meet you.

It's nice to meet you to.

What do you hope to achieve while you are here? Apart from a job, of course.

Well, hopefully, I'm not here for very long. But if I am, I hope to at least open my own clothing shop. Custom made attire.

A clothing shop. That sounds great. I'm going to try and go to school while here. If I can do that, I'm happy. It will help me figure out what I want in life then.
