John was rather surprised when he was not insulted for the work done on the door. Anyone with functioning eyes could tell how off it looked. Though this was nothing compared to the look on his face as he met the other guild members. Come to think of it, this was the first time seeing most of them. It certainly made him feel out of place but he did his best to hide the facial expression.

When the pale creature approached, it gave John quite the heart attack though he hid it well. Its appearance was more than a little disturbing to him although his immaculate poker face was not to be seen past. The creature was introduced as Ada and it was more than strange enough for things John wished to see for his time at the guild.

It was nearly as strange as Barts reaction toward seeing the door though. It all honesty, John did not expect any positive feedback. The door looked out of place when compared to the rest of the building. John was rather silent the entire time the mass of guild members spoke to one another. He remained silent when guided to the table for dinner.

John simply remained silent as the others spoke. Looking around the table, he felt extremely out of place though this was to be expected. The talk on Varjo confused John slightly. He was not nearly as well informed as the others. To John, a job was nothing more than a job and if the money was good then there was no reason for him to decline. After a short time eating, John would retire to the forge to check on some projects before bed.
Will have a post up tonight.

After the group of workers left, John stayed to inspect their finished work. Comparing it to the rest of the building, he certainly felt embarrassed. "Well damn that looks like shit. Guess it's better than nothing though. John continued to examine the doorway. The more he looked it over, the more he didn't like it. The result of the crew and John's work didnt do the dwarven construction any justice. If anything, it just showed how bad the team was compared to them. "Bart's probably gonna lose his shit when he sees this.

John spent so much time worrying about how the entrance looked, he didnt notice the others approach.

Haley then noticed the new entrance the guild has. "Whoa! It's fixed now?! Thank the gods!" She admired the repaired structure. Turning to John, she asked. "Was this your work?"


John turned his head toward the siren though he didnt look her in the eye. He figured when she actually had the time to get a good look at, she would compare to the rest of the building.

Huh?...Oh yes I guess. The group he hired and I put this together. No need to tell me how bad it is, I'm sure I'll hear it from Bart when he sees it. Doesn't take a trained eye to see it doesn't match everything else and with that group gone, I'm gonna get all the shit if he doesn't like it. He also seems to be in a bad mood so that's certainly going to make things better.

John was silent for a few seconds. He realized he didnt actually know who he was talking to. My name is John by the way. I was busy with some personal things and was gone for a bit so I guess this is technically my second day here....how have things been?
Will post today
@crouchingbacon

That's fine. PM me the details on what your character is and we can discuss it further.
Bump.
Is it a point buy system?
Would this be table top style with dice rolls and such? Just curious for stats and point buy.
@PaulHaynek

Bart got close to you before whispering. "How can I do that when I can't even trust my own guild members." He told you before backing away.


John took that as a bit of a personal insult but disregarded it rather quickly. He waited for Bart to finishing speaking before asking one final question.
You didn't tell then anything about me did you?

John would wait for a reply before walking over to help the workers with the construction of the entrance.

Working with the crew was nice. John felt almost at home while he worked with them. It reminded him of how he grew up doing this in his town and even about the artisans guild he had joined some time ago. Despite this, Johnade sure to keep an eye on them.

------

The crew was friendly to you as you and they worked on the guild entrance. The Dwarven design of it was difficult to replicate but you and the crew did your best. The new entrance did not match the overall design at all, at least up close. At a distance, it would be hard to tell. The work took all day and it ended by dusk. The construction crew invited you to their break before they set off.

"You're good with a hammer and nails, Clarke. I almost forgot you weren't part of us." A grizzled, muscular fair-skinned man congratulated you. You knew him as Lazarus, or Larry for short.

"Here's to Clarke, for taking part in our last job in the sane world." The man's words were ominous as he raised a cup of alcohol. You knew him as Sal, just Sal. He was younger and less muscular but still well-built. His skin was pretty pale but it was nothing unusual.

"Come on, it can't be all bad. Certainly not as bad as we have it right now." Larry retorted.

"I know that. But still, Varjo's Varjo." Sal replied, and revealed some information.

Larry sighed and turned to you. "What do you think, Clarke? We're down in the dumps and can't find work anywhere. This one's probably gonna be our last. Me and others were thinking about heading south, towards the lands of Varjo and find us something, anything there." He explained. "Do you think that is wise? I mean, we know Varjo's a dangerous place but it's also a land of freedom. Anything could happen there."


"I can't say I've been to Varjo so I'm not sure about work down there. Though a group such as yours are hard working and hard to come by. There are plenty of guilds I'm sure that would love to have a group like this work for them. So forgive me if I sound confused about trying to find work. When I left my field of work, I simply started my own business. If you can't do that, there are plenty of artisans guilds around, I feel a group like yours should do just fine if you tried to join one. John stated as he grabbed his tools. He ensured he wasn't missing a single one and definitely made sure to look over the work they had done on the entrance.

If your group wants to go to Varjo then that's up to you all. All I can say is that you guys need to make that decisions as a group. If you're set on it then go for it. Just make that decision together. As long as you all stick together, I'm sure you will be fine.
