Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 8:57:10 PM)
*The ship is abuz with departing tourists! She radiates a feeling of joy at being the center of so much attention, of course. Octavian is perched on the rail near the plank, seeing everyone off*
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 8:57:44 PM)
Sadie arrived at the docks. She walked up to the Everbright and took a peek around. She had small portfolio folder in her hand along with a sketchbook. She grinned as she saw the tourists leaving, waiting patiently.
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 8:58:20 PM)
*Octavian waves her aboard, once the crowd has thinned somewhat*
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 8:59:14 PM)
She deftly walked up the gangplank with a smile. "Hello there. It seems as if you are having a busy day."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 8:59:37 PM)
Thankfully,yes. They're pretty common. *he says with a grin*
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:02:09 PM)
"I hope I am not keeping you from anything, but when we first met, you talked about a part time job?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:02:26 PM)
*He nods* As a tourguide, yeah.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:03:08 PM)
"And parties?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:03:35 PM)
When we start hosting them, yeah
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:09:28 PM)
"That is what I am more interested in, truthfully. I get partial credit for designing things for groups this semester. Though touring the ship would be fun." Sadie offered him the portfolio of her designs. "If you have themes in mind, I can accomodate if given a small budget to work with."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:11:37 PM)
*he nods* I'll keep that in mind. You left a card, right?
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:12:46 PM)
"All of my information is in the folder, yeah." She smiled. "I do have another job, but I can work around it should I have to. I already talked to Paul about it."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:13:34 PM)
Very cool. With you on the payroll, I won't have to pretend I know how to decorate.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:18:57 PM)
"Speaking of, what would that be? I would hope a fair amount, but I don't expect anything overly lavish either. I enjoy keeping myself busy just to stay busy." Sadie chattered on, using her free hand to wave every now and then with a semantic gesture.
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:21:51 PM)
Payroll? It'd have to be a percentage of each party. I don't make enough money to keep you literally on the payroll
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:24:19 PM)
Sadie bobbed her head a few times. "That sounds fair." She stuck out her hand to shake. "Just call me when there is a party and let me know what I can and can't do."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:24:45 PM)
*He shakes her hand with a grin* Sure you wanna work for me? I'm a dick.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:25:55 PM)
"I'm not oathing anything so I don't see a problem. I can always quit in a temper tantrum and go wait tables at the diner for tips. Though I don't like to give up. That's too easy sometimes."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:27:43 PM)
Good enough, I s'pose. You're gonna get a bad reputation though.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:28:47 PM)
"From who? I thought I was doing a good job of getting to know everyone I could."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:30:33 PM)
*he snickers* Want some tea? *before moving towards the conference room at the back of the ship* Come on,Nobles in this city are considered scum.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:32:05 PM)
"Do you have any lemonade?" She clopped after him. "And I'm from Alexandria, not here. I have my own opinions. Nikko clued me into a few things last night."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:32:43 PM)
Nikko? *he asks, as he roots through the small fridge in the room* I...got...sweet tea?
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:39:19 PM)
"One of the Floca brothers. The monkey pooka." She replied and then nodded at the sweet tea. "That'll be okay."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:40:38 PM)
Ahh, alright. *He sets out a glass of really, really sweet tea for her, then flops into his seat as he waits for his own tea to heat up* The horse one seems alright, not sure about the other.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:48:10 PM)
"My first impression of them was pretty decent. I don't really have a negative view of anyone yet. Everyone does have a different personality, though."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:48:57 PM)
*he nods* I've only talked to Nikko once or twice, and he seemed a little more abrasive then his brother. But I've got no real problem with him.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:51:08 PM)
She sipped her tea thoughtfully. "What other places are there that are friendly to our kind around here?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:51:20 PM)
Have you been to Rooks?
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:53:17 PM)
"Yes. That's where the redcap lady challenged Scott to a duel. I witnessed it."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:54:33 PM)
That's pretty much it. There's Melvin's forge-hold...but I've no idea how friendly that is to non-Nockers. he didn't even let me help set it up, in spite of my offer of free labor. Everbright's under Hospitality, as per my orders...anyone who needs a meal or a bed has one here.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 9:57:12 PM)
"That is kind. Melvin's fun. I think the forges are set up there now, though. Lior has her own workshop and is going crazy with some huge contraption. It looks really well thought out. When Melvin can afford it, I'll get to help remodel some of the old rooms there. I think I'm probably going to start saving up money to buy a few things, myself."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 9:58:06 PM)
*he frowns for half a second, then rises to get his tea*
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:01:32 PM)
Sadie didn't see the frown as she drank her tea. She opened up her sketch book and started doodling patterns. "What about mundane places? I know this is the place to be to party, but does anything stand out that isn't touristy?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:02:14 PM)
*he snorts* I'm entirely the wrong person to ask about that. I almost never leave my ship.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:03:29 PM)
She blinked and looked over. "Why not? That can't be healthy."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:04:40 PM)
Well...there's a metaphorical storm on the horizon. Leaving my ship unprotected is entirely unallowable.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:06:44 PM)
"Well, don't go all bedlamy. That never ends well for people. If you do manage to find yourself out and about, find Paul's Diner. Just don't sit at table six. It's evil." She said it so casually it must be the truth.
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:07:39 PM)
I see. *he says with a smirk* I'm not too worried though. It's not like Everbright is a freehold.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:13:21 PM)
"Doesn't it get boring though?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:14:03 PM)
Why would it be boring? During the day, it's full of people. At night, I have paperwork to do, and a room full of books for after that's done
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:15:16 PM)
Sadie just stared at him and blinked once. "Oh.. okay. If that's what you like to do, I guess." She shrugged. "To each their own."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:15:27 PM)
What's wrong with that?
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:18:20 PM)
"What happens when you read all the books?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:19:01 PM)
...I get more, obviously.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:22:18 PM)
She just shook her head and chuckled at that. "Okay."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:22:40 PM)
It's what I'm programmed for. *said with a laugh* From when I was little.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:26:29 PM)
"No playing with action figures or building with legos? You poor man."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:27:09 PM)
Well, I had a metric shit-ton of legos. My dad was trying to train an engineer from the start.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:35:16 PM)
"Wow. My parents gave me barbie dolls and said have fun."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:36:26 PM)
The Admiral had very high standards.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:42:54 PM)
"Most parents do." She nodded. She finished off her tea and placed her sketchbook on her lap, doodling more. She turned the page to start fresh. It seemed to be the same doodles but in a more organized manner.
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:43:23 PM)
True enough. And I wouldn't be me if it wasn't for his.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:44:31 PM)
"Everything works out one way or another. The Dreaming makes sure of it." She grinned. "Did you need help cleaning up after your last tour?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:45:14 PM)
Nah. Thanks though. The kids are usually pretty respectful.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:51:45 PM)
"Well that's something good, I suppose. I'm sure she appreciates it." She tapped on the table.
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:52:21 PM)
Everbright loves the kids. She loves teaching. She loves the attention, too.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:58:06 PM)
Sadie grinned. "Does she talk to you?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:58:22 PM)
Of course. Why?
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 10:59:05 PM)
"Curiosity mostly. Her design is gorgeous. It's very pretty."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 10:59:35 PM)
I wish I could take credit for that. If you want, you can introduce yourself to her.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 11:04:37 PM)
Her eyes went a bit wide, but she looked around. "Uh.. hi, Everbright? I'm Sena Grakos. Nice to meet you?" She looked at Octavian. "Am I doing it right or making a fool of myself?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 11:08:06 PM)
*He nods. The antique looking terminal on the wall glows a soft pink, and a gentle female voice comes from the grille under it* Welcome aboard, Guest Sena. *a pause, then* Profile stored in guest memory, Captain.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 11:16:35 PM)
Sadie grinned wide. "So what does that mean, exactly? You aren't going to clone me when I'm not looking, are you?" She laughed.
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 11:16:59 PM)
It means you can come aboard without her skmishing you, more or less.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 11:19:01 PM)
"I'm glad I asked for permission first then." She chuckled. "Skmishing sounds like it would hurt."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 11:21:43 PM)
Probably. I've never actually seen her skmish someone...but I have had to clean up after it.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 11:24:07 PM)
"I think I will keep asking permission, or at least waiting for some acknowledgement first. Just in case."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 11:26:21 PM)
She won't let you on board unless I've given permission, really. Usually best to call out for permission when you get close. Follows the old politeness rules too.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 11:31:16 PM)
"I don't think I have a rude bone in me." She nodded her head. "If I appeared rude, it would be completely by accident. I don't even mess with the food at work if someone is rude to me. That should say something."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 11:33:03 PM)
Really? Enjoy being a doormat?
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 11:41:45 PM)
"If I was a doormat, my clothes would be filthy. I just let Paul take care of them. The rudeness might be redirected anger from something else. I don't know everyone's situation. They could've lost their dog or had someone close to them die. I can live with a couple of smart remarks. Now, if someone is abusive, then things change."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 11:42:57 PM)
Good. I'd hate to constantly be getting into fights over you.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 11:43:43 PM)
"Why would you get into fights over me? You don't even know me."
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 11:44:16 PM)
I tend to be protective of people on my ship. If other people tended to pick on you, I'd be picking right back.
Sadie Fitzgerald (Apr 7, 2011 11:48:42 PM)
"Oh, well then. Point for you." She smiled brightly.
Octavian Vanderaa (Apr 7, 2011 11:49:01 PM)
I get points by claiming nobility? Shit, score. *he says with a grin*
