[The Red Muse]

Dominic: Ah! Lani! It has been a while since I last saw you--last Friday was it? That is a long time in a village this small--hehheh.

*ahem* Anyway- thanks for the directions! Would you like to join us for a cup of tea? *swallows in disgust as he thinks of a hot steaming cup of camomile tea and shrudders*

Dominic: ... you do need your strength when battle calls- now do you?

Chris: *jumps awake when Mihoshin called him* Huh!? Oh yeah, hi, *cough* ...to get hired, eh?

*lights a cig and stands up sniggering- making his office look ridiculously small compared to his massive body. He walks to Mihoshin and pats him on his back*

Chris: You've come to right place! So now... *he walks back to his desk* ...did you come here to join the army... or are you a mercenary....? *quickly scans through Mihoshin's gear* Hmmm--- you're a mercenary... So, let's get started:
"Name...
Age..
Origin of your birth... this means like a birthplace... or something...
Salary....
And then the workforce you'd like to join...

Oh yes, and special skills, if you are a mercenary- this determines how much are we gonna pay ya. If you're good- you get paid well--if you suck-- you get even worse pay than the scrubs down at the Barracks!"

*leans against the window frame, eyeing the mercenary slig curiously*
