The Grand Imperial City is a marvelous feat of engineering and architecture. While it is not quite the same as it was in its former glory, it is still breathtaking and advanced compared to the majority of the Empire. It is where politics meets ingenuity. It is a great place to go for work. This place is especially good for tinkerers and those who do white collar work.

 Taki looked in awe at the capital Garuda Haan. It was no where else she has ever seen. It was a perfect place for a girl like her. Here she would not have to get dirty nor have to kill any prey to make a living. This will surely show her father he was wrong about her being lazy and a free loader. Getting a job was actually easier than she thought it would be. Apparently there was a lack of delivery personnel in the grand city. The Hokoon is rather quick and was given a package that needed to go across town to the stables. By how heavy it was, she was guessing it was horse shoes. It took her a little longer do to the weight then she wanted to, but it was still in a reasonable amount of time. The man in charge of the stables then gave her a new package to take back to the original sender. Luckily this one was much lighter than the box of what she thought was horse shoes. It only took a couple of minutes to get back to the people that had hired her in the first place and gave them the second package. words: 205 Job Quest: Delivery Person +$40 100 JQP

Asali enters the city and is impressed with how beautiful and advanced it looks. It is very clear to her that the first thing she needs to do is fill her empty pockets and her empty stomach. As she begins to pass a rather new looking bar that is sitting immediately next to the bank and across from a library and not too far from a few restaurants and businesses, she decides that she is getting a good vibe from it. Well, the location and the newness is one thing, but honestly it is likely the Help Wanted sign sitting in the window. She heads in, but heads to the ladies' room and freshens herself up and then makes way over to the office door that has a sign detailing that those seeking employment should knock and speak to the one within. The painted wolf smiles as she approaches it and knocks boldly. She is excited as she waits and still excited as she speaks with the manager. There really wasn't much to the interview and she finds herself getting an apron and a recipe chart thrust into her hands. "Go to the head bartender behind the bar over there and find out what you are needed for." "Sure thing!" she responds with her typical cheerfulness. It is not long before she has picked up on the nuances and has begun to take orders on her own. "Tequilla Sunrise!" is ordered and she mixes it then sends it to the customer. "Burbon rocks!" and so on and so on for several hours. This is not a bad job, she decides and figures she will work as a bartender for a while. Something to help fund her meals and possibly be put towards getting more of an education than the oral history and lessons from her pack's elders. An added plus is the fact that she can earn tips if she does a good job. A nice town like this could mean really nice tips and earnings.

Lelune Lelune gazed around at the tall buildings as she walked down the street; not even the monastery that had been her home for years was as elaborate as the structures in the city, as she walked she thought about what kind of work she could find here; something where she got to see more of the city would be useful; her hopes were answered when she heard that the city's messengers were looking for help, she headed to where she had heard where she should apply and quickly took up the job; soon she was carrying messages all over the city; her ability to fly making the time go by swiftly, soon she had no more messages to deliver for the time being, while wondering what she should do next the Frax found herself feeling thirsty and spotting a bar nearby decided to take a break from her wandering, she swooped down to land in the street and folded her wings before going inside the establishment and heading towards the bar "My greetings to you" she said to the woman tending the bar "Do you have any Port?"OOC: Messenger job; Word count 188 Sorry it's late; heatwave fried my brain

Asali is getting more and more comfortable with her job as a bartender. This has been fairly lucrative as far as she is concerned. That and it has been fun for her. Serving so many people at once is not so much a challenge as it is a way to be around a lot of people. Just like back home. Her pack is high in numbers and always busy. Painted wolves believe in the extreme end of keeping large numbers. The only time young females leave is when the pack gets too large for the territory to support them. Or, in her case, when opportunities are limited by the large numbers. That is just how big her pack had gotten. While the resources were just fine, the numbers limited her to very few job or growth opportunities. Her chances of becoming a pack leader there were practically nil and her hunting skills should not be relied upon as yet, although she is still fairly young. Just old enough to work at the bar she is in right now. As she wipes the counter down and waits for her next order a young frax walks into the bar. She is dark furred and looks to be one of the more nocturnal types, although she is not terribly certain. Cleaning up the last empty glass, she smiles at her and greets her. "Hello, welcome to The Empire." Lalune's order is fairly simple and is quickly served up. "No problem. Here you go. So, how have you been?" 255 *ooc, it's ok. I have been fairly busy anyway*

Lelune Lelune looked around the crowded tavern as she took a seat at the bar; she suddenly turned back around as her drink was served "My thanks to you" she said as she took the tankard and took a sip before proceding to anwser the woman's question "Not bad I guess; I was able to have a nice flight without crashing into anything, and you?"OOC: I would play nocturnal chars all the time if I could but since humans hardy ever play them if I did my char would be alone 70%-90% of the time

"That's great!" Asali smiles kindly at the dark colored Frax. "Doing quite well, thank you! I am happy that the weather has stayed rather fair. Summer is about us right now, and that is my season." she laughs softly. Her eyes dance with mirth and friendliness. Asali hears an order get called out and she responds, "On my way!" She turns to Lelune, "Hang on, I'll be right back!" She trots over towards the customer and mixes their drink for them. This is getting a lot easier. A few more orders come in and she continues to work for a while. After a while she finds a lull and grabs a bar towel and starts wiping down the bar. "So, what brings you to the city?" she asks her as she makes her way closer to her. An order from a waitress comes in and she starts setting it up while she continues to talk with Lelune. At least for as long as the young female Frax will be interested in talking with her. The drink order and the fresh bowl of pretzel trail mix is set on a nice clean serving tray and sent on its way towards a table not too far off. As they chat a bar fight barely begins before the bar's bouncer grabs the offending drunk and throws him out on his backside. This barely gets Asali's attention, as she is maintaining her attention on Lelune and any potential customers who come and go.

Lelune Lelune focused on her drink; her ears twitching as the tavern grew louder around her, a heavyset man sat next to her; he appered to be some kind of labourer, Lelune's gaze wandered to his pockets for a second before she snapped her head back to facing forwards, she noticed her free hand starting to twitch and quickly wrapped both of her hands tightly around her tankard; bowing her head and staring into it's depths as she did so; only looking up when the barkeep returned "Well I thought I should see it at least once; it's also easy to get to the other lands from here" she replied to the woman's question with a smile; her ears swiveled towards the brief sound of violence behind her as someone was thrown out of the tarven though she kept facing forwards OOC:

Asali is too distracted by the crowd and bar tending to keeping to notice Lelune's pick pocketing or attempted pick pocketing. She is getting friendly with this cute little frax girl. A welcome situation since she has nobody to be familiar with here, even though the city is chock full of people. "My shift should be over soon. Want to go grab a bite somewhere?" Her cheerful disposition is just exuding itself through her body language. It is the norm for painted wolves in general, to be friendly and open to making new friends. They are highly social people, in general. While there are a few exceptions to this rule, as one might expect, by and large painted wolves are incredibly social. Asali would start or join a party at the drop of a hat, given the choice and opportunity. "We could go clubbing even, if you feel up to it. Maybe find some men to flirt with."

LeluneLelune tilted her side to the side as she considered the woman's suggestion; she didn’t know her that well yet but then she didn’t know anyone outside the monastery that well, the girl seemed nice enough though Well what the heck; it isn’t like I have anything better to do She finished what little remained of her drink “Sure why not; it certainly sounds fun, I’m Lelune; what’s your name?”OOC: I hate heat-waves...

 Morgana had been sitting at the bar drinking just for a little while. How long had it been since she had gone out? It had been quite sometime. Her brother had been freeloading at her cottage lately. So while he was gone doing god knows what, she decided to get the hell out of dodge. Unfortunately, there were no men... well no men that were worth her time of day around. Her eyes shifted over to two girl's having a conversation. The kitsune's ears twitched, they were talking about clubbing and men! She made her way closer to the two. "I'll join~" she cooed. "This place is boring. Dancing? Clubbing? Men? That's my language. Plus girls have to stick together right?" It just then clicked that she really just butted right into these two girl's conversation. Maybe she got a little too excited. "Oh how rude of me! My name is Morganna. It's a pleasure to meet you." she introduced herself with a sly smile.

Asali's ears twitch in Morganna's direction as she inserts herself into the conversation and their plans. Instead of being irritated or upset, she simply smiles brightly and cheerfully replies positively. "Sure! The more the merrier! We'll party until the place closes!" Her amber eyes happily dance at the prospects. Upon being introduced, she responds in kind. "I'm Asali. Glad to meet you, too!" A customer calls out to her, "Hey, bar wench, I need another beer!" She grins at the two girls, "I'll be right back," and then turns to the rude drunk, "I'll be right there." She fills a mug of frothy beer and slides it down the bar at him. She may not be terribly experienced at these things, but she knows better than to rise to insults that he's passed to her all night. By rights she probably should have handed it over towards him, but the bar slide trick is nice and showy and keeps her from going near that fowl smelling wolverine. As she turns to hang up her apron, she calls over to her boss, "Hey, I had a great time. Maybe I'll fill in next time you have an opening. By the way, Sluggo over there is fairly sauced and trying to play pinch the barmaid. I thought you'd like to know." Asali doesn't wait to see the reaction as she nabs her rucksack from under the counter and comes around the corner towards Morganna and Lelune. "Ready?" she asks, blithely ignoring the rather large male bearkin grabbing Sluggo by his scruff and personally kicking him out of the bar, literally. All the while Asali has maintained her pleasant demeanor and cheerful disposition.

LeluneLelune turned to the new arrival and looked her over for a moment before breaking into a smile as Asali made her comment “Certainly!” she stood up; her wings flaring slightly with excitement as she performed a small spin “Do you really think that there’s a club in the city that’ll be able to handle all three of us?” she inwardly hoped that the other two had at least an idea where to go; as having only recently arrived in the city Lelune didn't even know which neighbourhoods they could likey find clubs in OOC:

Morgana smiled warmly as she was welcomed in there little group. Soon enough one of the girls was called over by a drunk customer. Morganna was glad she never did work like this sometimes. Oh yea she would gladly stick to being the witch of the wilds. " As ready as I'll ever be. This place reeks of beer, desperation, and vomit. Simply disgusting." she responded to Asali. The kitsune laughed as Lelune asked if she thought if there was a club to handle the three of them. "Probably not." she replied simply. The witch would like to believe that there was not a club on the world that could handle her alone. The amount of sexy in the kitsune's body simply could not be contained. Maybe she was a little egotistical. Just maybe. The place was new to her so she did not know many of the clubs. It was a long way back to her homeland. "If all else fails we can ask the locals where the best spot is. It's usually the one with the line at the door."

Asali smiles at them and slings her bag over her shoulder. The bar to her is a means to an end. Just what that end is, she isn't certain of quite yet. Either way, she is pretty optimistic of her future. Optimism is pretty prevelant in members of her family. Being a female from her tribe, she is perfectly willing to head out into the world and try new things while her brothers stay home and settle down. Maybe she can find a nice young man to settle down with some time down the road who'd be willing to stay home with the kids like her own father and brothers. "I think I heard one of the customers talking about this one place called Loki Lobo on First and Main. They are supposed to have a fabulous band and party scene, and they commented about the food, but I didn't really catch what it was like because some idiots decided to brawl on the piano." Her face and body language are full of her fun loving nature. She is practically dancing as they make their way there and her tail is just wagging to the rhythm of whatever music she has going on in her mind while she makes her way to wherever their feet lead her. "I hope there'll be some hotties and a good band wherever we end up. I am absolutely jazzed and could go late into the night with this."
