A/N. Well, here we are! New chapter up already, certainly am keeping up a good pace with this one. Also, to those of you who have not read my stuff, OC submission are more than welcome! (Although they may not be main character positions. Just use common sense on that one, Okay?) Anyway, Enjoy! And keep on charging!-Haven
As the figure walked down the hill in the general direction of the city he pulled the cloak tighter around himself and couldn't help but shudder at the cold wind that blew across the valley as he trod along. Eventually he came to the outskirts of the city, the crystalline houses glinting in the sunlight. Then as the figure closed in on the city he spotted the many forms walking around,going in and out of the buildings and talking to each-other. He walked up to two of them and quietly cleared his throat and asked, "Pardon me but...do you happen to know of any places one can rest that have...a low amount of money can rest and look for work?" The figures looked at him askew as he spoke but the one on the left nodded and motioned down a nearby road saying, "Well...Ruby garland's place is always open for new workers...she allows them room, and food in repayment of their work." He nodded and asked, "And what is the name of the establishment?" The one on the right answered, "It's called the Crystal Garland. You can't miss it." He smiled and half-bowed to them saying, "Thank you for your assistance." They nodded and he turned, walking down the road they had pointed him to.
-Time skip, to building door.-
As he looked around the outside of the building the figure took a deep breath and pushed open the door. Immediately the first thing he noticed was the jovial atmosphere within. The air within the building had a slightly heady smell from the bar at the corner of the room, and there was a constant buzzing of speech from the various tables scattered around. He quickly walked to the bar-top and rapped it with his knuckle. Within moments a tired-looking woman walked over and asked, "Yeah, you need something?" He nodded and replied, "Indeed...I hear the owner of this establishment may be in need of workers and that they would be paid in food and lodging?" She sighed and nodded saying, "Yep...I need workers who can stick around... At the moment I'm needing a strong person willing to be the bouncer for this place. Think you want that job?" He nodded and said, "Certainly...but...what exactly does a 'bouncer' do?" The woman raised an eyebrow and declared, "Well, a bouncer stops drunken troublemakers from creating a ruckus..." He nodded and said, "Well, I wouldn't mind doing that job. When do I start?" The woman gave him a tired smile, pointed to the far corner of the room, and said, "Right away if you don't mind...got a drunk off in the corner over there...mind telling him to go...?" He nodded and started to move to where she direction, but she stopped him and asked, "Wait, what's your name anyway?" He stopped and looked back at her, and a sudden idea came to mind, and he replied, "Call me...Grey dawn..."
