[The cold reality that somehow; he was still alive hadn't done much to ease Sync upon his waking in the cocoon.

So, the teen relied on his training. He just let go and moved to the beat of the logic that had been enforced upon him; become familiar with his surroundings; learn to use his new tools; look for points of interest to establish a base. After some time though; Sync was sitting on a bench, mentally drained from the effort. He knew enough to have a small area, knew he had temporary lodging, and he needed to get a job.

At least Genessia City was marginally interesting.]

...Almost, almost miss that Oracle Knight salary.



So, how easy is it to get a job here?

Also; seeking to commission a tailor, seeking quotes from craftsmen on a possible piece. Replies will be text only from this account.

[Depending on Sync questions, Jade can be helpful. Or not. In the job area.]

Depending on your skills from the previous world, it can be easy or hard. Have you found the employment board?

[anon, text]

[rejected_trash]

I have, but my skills basically consist of "covert operations" and "tracking people". It isn't a resume for getting by in a place like this.

[anon, text]

[jadedkill]

You're someone who can't settle for a peaceful job, are you?

You would fall under commission based mercernary or bounty hunter or body guard. I'm a bounty hunter, so that's how I know.

[anon, text]

[rejected_trash]

I find settling for something I never wanted to begin with pointless.

I'll look into either Merc or bounty hunter though.

[anon, text]

[jadedkill]

Point taken.

You should check this week's newspaper for available assignments. Keep in mind of the rules and regulations. All bounties are no kills. You must capture and bring the criminal to the authorities for legal processing before getting paid.

[Perfect timing, considered the Nova City rules and regulated is posted there, giving every bounty hunter a good idea. While restricted to the city itself, it serves as a standard for every other city.]

[anon, text]

[rejected_trash]

That's a handy bit of advice. I do like the challenge of live bounties.

[anon, text]

[jadedkill]

[Slightly morbid are you?]

Consider the laws of each cities first, before attempting any bounty and capture them to bring to the law enforcement.

[A pause, followed by another text.]

Enjoy your hunt, both job-wise and bounties.

[Anise was wondering the streets trying to figure her way around when she noticed a familiar color of green. Turning her full attention, she couldn't help as she felt the bottom of her stomach drop at seeing a young man who should be very much dead. She felt like a dear in headlights as she openly stared at him.]

[rejected_trash]

[It took several seconds to feel the eyes on him, but it was undeniable once he did. Looking up, he glanced over, a frown quickly blooming on his features. Quickly his communicator disappeared inside his jacket as he hopped from the bench, crouching in front of it.]

What do you want?

[Of all the people to run into first, it was her. The only thing worse was...Well no. Maybe Arietta since he didn't have a mask now, but this confirmed his fears and had been why he was resorting to anonymous texts.

People sure did like to talk about "second chances" but he knew that even if he considered that; this group would never allow it.]

[puppet_guardian]

[The puppeteer wordlessly stared for a few more moments before she about-faced and started walking away from him. She didn't have kind words for those who were instantly hostile either.]

[rejected_trash]

[Not trusting this for a few seconds, he waited, until yes; it seemed she was done with him.

He muttered something to himself before taking a seat on the bench once more. He was fine with with this, he told himself. Sync didn't want to 'reminisce' or talk about the good fortune of still being alive, given Anise was one of his murderers.

This was fine, he told himself, watching the pink shrink more into the distance. It was fine. They had tried to give him a chance to come to peace with what he never wanted.

His fists balled tightly enough the leather of his gloves squeaked. It was fine.]

It's never fine. Nothing's fine.

[He was up and moving. It helped that he was faster than most on any given day as he sprinted some feet in front of her to avoid her fist like some green and white blur. His jacket tails billowed in the wind as he suddenly stopped. He didn't want to look at her directly again, yet. He kept his ears trained in case she suddenly became hostile.]

I just wanna know. You didn't bring me here, did you? This really isn't Auldrant?

[puppet_guardian]

[A white gloved hand rested over a yellow paw as she stopped and took a cautious step back. She never liked the games he played, in battle and outside of it. If there was a person to successfully counter any of her sneaky tactics it would be him by a long shot.

And then he had to go and ask stupid questions.]

No stupid, I didn't bring you here. And yes, it's really not Auldrant. Pretty far from it actually.

[The words slipped out before she could stop them. Then again he did a lot to make her angry to begin with.]

[rejected_trash]

[Perhaps, of all of them; he could count on Anise to help enable him into old habits.

All thanks to her crush on Ion.]

Well damn, I was hoping at least the company would be better than Anise The Flat and her bratty ways.

[Sync hadn't meant to bait her, he just had run out of things to say and couldn't bring himself to let her just completely go. So, when she had taken the bait so readily, he now turned with a grin on his face. Pressing her for a reaction had always been a bit fun, and if he could take no other joy from a life he never wanted; teasing others would have to do.]

[Chiaki was just wondering around, playing her hand held at the same time. Her focus wasn't on her surrounding as much, but the moment she managed to finish a level she would take a breath and look up. Sure she had gotten better with not doing it as much, but sometimes when she was alone, it was just something she could do.

Eyes glancing around she couldn't help but notice the green among what seemed to be various normal hair colours of most natives around.]

Hello... Are you new around here?

[rejected_trash]

[There was a long pause as Sync lifted his head to look over and observe the girl.]

...Yeah.

[He put his hands together in front of him now as he felt on edge. They looked very preoccupied so perhaps the worry was needless. He opted for naivety as that was usually helpful to get information.]

You been here long?

[gamerrep]

[Moving to put her hand held away quietly, shaking her head ever so slightly.]

Not long... a couple weeks at best. [She paused for a moment, thinking of what was the next best thing to say.]

Others have been here longer though.

[rejected_trash]

[There was a small hum of curiosity as she put the the handheld away; Auldrant hadn't much in the way of "compact" technology. That wasn't desperately important to focus on for the moment. A few weeks wasn't the best assessment of what was going on here. Still, it was much better than someone else who had arrived just as he had.]

What's it like here? You enjoy it?

[He was direct now because she wasn't connected to Auldrant or The Score in anyway, so he didn't have to worry about his own hang ups.]

[gamerrep]

I enjoy it. I mean I also miss home, but that is normal.

[At least to her anyway. She missed her other friends, but was majorly happy for the ones she had here too. Even in the couple weeks of being here she couldn't be happier.]

There are so many oddities one might not have in there own worlds, but that is what makes it more exciting.

[rejected_trash]

[This answer sounded every bit as typical as someone that had a place in their home. There was a flicker of jealousy, but he could agree there was more here than back on his own world, and nodded.]

True. It's a bit overwhelming though since I just got here.

[Mostly because he was dealing with the fact that his excuses had no place here. Nothing was stopping him from being his own person.]

You got a name?

[strawberrypenguin]

As easy as it is to run. So pretty easy.

anon; text;

[rejected_trash]

Well, I am good at running at least. What do you do here?

anon; text;

[strawberrypenguin]

I run two places. A Candy Store in Fayren and a Swimming Club in Genessia.

anon; text;

[rejected_trash]

Impressive. Why the Swim Club though?

anon; text;

[strawberrypenguin]

Memories, mostly. But also it's soemthing I know I can do well since I use to swim with friends back home.

How much does it cost to join?
