QUESTIONS.

[nysan]

[song_of_ice]

This is a silly question, but to apply for a job, do we just comment beneath the top level of the business of choice?

[natha]

Something like that! It will be elaborated on when jobs start hiring on August 6th!

[insurgent]

Are there seedier, criminal networks/"businesses" around? Jyn has made her living off of forgery in recent years, so she'd probably try to find anyone peddling fake passports or the like.

[natha]

Yes, there are. They haven't been introduced yet, but they are around.

[insurgent]

Thank you!! Excited for when August comes around c:

[rzhavyy]

Putting this here as it's vaguely related- are there similarly seedy, criminal/black market/people generally more interested in coins than where they get it sort of bars where someone like Bucky could pick up a job as a bartender or the like? Are there better options in Wyver or Olympia? And how well does that pay?

[natha]

Hello! Yes, there are seedier establishments where he could work. They can be found in Olympia and Wyver, with the main difference being that Wyver's seedier establishments probably have some kind of connection to Cree, though perhaps not directly - he does not own a chain of bars, for example, but his people would frequent these places more and might extend an offer of protection to one or two, etc. In both cities they pay well enough to live slightly less-than-comfortably, and pretty much entirely under the table.

Re: QUESTIONS.

[ayes]

Hi mods! What is Olympia's definition of "adult", is it 18? So in that case, characters who are 16 and 17 would have to be in the game for one or two years before they'd be allowed into the baths, for instance?

Re: QUESTIONS.

[natha]

The definition of "adult" in El Nysa is persons of sixteen years or older.

[ayes]

Thank you!

What kind of prospective job description are available at the Evras' Research Center other than research work? Would Reign be able to use the labs for possible research? Sorta like lab rental?

[nysan]

At the moment, positions such as the following are available: Professor/Lecturer, Herbalist, Cataloguer, Potions Reseacher, Weapons Engineer, Field Gopher, or Scientist. As far as threading things or discoveries within the Institute, minor discoveries (for example: this combination of extracted oils seems to ward off certain household pests) do not require mod approval. Large discoveries or developments (for example: we made a device that compels everyone to tell the truth) should be ran by us via quick PM. If you have any doubts, feel free to ask!

He would not be able to rent a space without being an official employee, though. He's free to, as an employee, pursue his own interests, but the Institute will not allow him to use their space/resources without benefiting from it.

[eaudevamp]

All right! Now I'm just wondering which position he could possibly apply for. Because in canon, he has done research on pheromones or scents (in the creation of perfumes and manipulating its effects), so maybe... Scientist? Even an Assistant will do.

[nysan]

You're free to handwave which position he actually applies for depending on what you think is most fitting! For what you've described, though, Scientist or Potions Researcher (if you consider perfumes a non-drinkable potion) could be a good fit. We don't require an IC "interview" to be hired, so it's up to you!

[gekkajuu]

Just so I don't overstep any boundaries: are the businesses with no "employment" header still open to work (low-level positions) at?

I'm specifically curious about the stables. What with Atsushi not feeling so great about working at the Institute anymore, I was wondering if he could reasonably switch to the stables - just taking care of the animals: feeding them, cleaning them, looking after them if they don't seem well. He has no real ambition to ride anything, but if training animals to be ridden would become a part of his job eventually - say a few months in - he'd give it his best shot.

One more obligatory "I overthink everything" question: if Atsushi can work at the stables, would he be allowed to bring his cub to work? >>

[natha]

Hello and yes, they are open for positions! The jobs listed with a sign up header are considered ICly to be more "qualified," hence us keeping a list of who works where. The stables and others that are simple shops are easier to gain employment in, so handwaving a low-level position without signing up for it is fine.

If he brings his cub to work he will be expected to keep it at his side and not disrupt any of the stabled mounts with it. If the cub gets rowdy, the cub stays home.

[gekkajuu]

Got it. The cub will be leashed if and when it does come along, just in case. XD
Thank you!

I have a question about characters working at the Temples. Would they too have to be a more neutral party? Could they align themselves closely with a faction, which in my case would be Olympia?

[nysan]

They can still align with Olympia! As long as characters don't try something like using the Temples to war-monger, they can do almost whatever they want outside of the Temples. Politically speaking, the Temples consider themselves neutral rather than a third party in the Olympia/Wyver divide, so they don't consider aligning with Olympia a "betrayal."

[bornofgods]

That's perfect. Thank you!

[torchwoodteaboy]

Hi mods! I apologize in that I am new and thus maybe these questions have been answered somewhere before and maybe they haven't, but I'm interested in specific information about the food available here, especially what might be available in the markets of Olympia. Would you say it is all alien to our refugees, all familiar, 50/50? If a man is looking for say, coffee and a press, might he be able to find them?

Also please correct me if I'm wrong but I am assuming that the closest thing to a bar would be the saloon front of the brothel in the Red Light district? Might one go there for a drink with no strings attached/expectation to go "behind the curtains" as it were, as one might go to a bar, or is that generally frowned upon since it is essentially the forefront of a brothel? Tl;dr, how does a man get a drink in this place?

[natha]

Hello! There are a variety of foods and dishes available around Olympia, both familiar and unfamiliar. In general, the food is more akin to what characters would have on Earth than "alien-like". He would have no problem obtaining coffee and a press.

That is not correct! There are plenty of bars and liquor stores all over the city.

Re: QUESTIONS.

[soulmakingsound]

What sort of jobs are available in the library of Evras' Research center? Would that fall under "Cataloguer"?

[natha]

It would! There's always a need for someone to catalog the information and be on hand to help track it down when one of the researchers needs to reference it.
