[Tony] Time and Newtown

Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

Aug 3, 2020 2:50 pm
You woke up from your dream and found yourself inside what seems to be an infirmary. You lie in bed and your wounds are all patched up with bandages. On another bed, you notice Maki, the elf you saved, all patched up as well and sleeping soundly. It is afternoon.

A man in white clothes, a doctor, enters the room to check on the patients' condition.

"How are you feeling?" He asks.

Your can still feel some pain but it is much better from your state earlier.

"Do you remember how you got here? What do you remember?" He asks.
Aug 4, 2020 12:04 pm
"Groggy but I'm fine." Anthony replies as he try to sit.

"I can't remember but I do remember rescuing him from of the goblin camp." Tony points at Maki.

"Wh..where are the others?" He asks.
Aug 5, 2020 12:31 pm
"We have limited beds in this infirmary. Your companions are safe somewhere else." The doctor replies.

"You can rest here for the night but you can't stay here forever. Do you have a home here in Newtown?" He asks as he check on the other unconscious patients in the room.

"I, I'm not sure if I'm even from around here." Tony says as he massage his forehead as if that would help him recall memories.

"Last thing I recall, I was in this cave with glowing mushrooms." Anthony added.
Aug 6, 2020 9:20 am
"Glowheart mushrooms? Those can be used as medicine for some non-humans. Where did.. oh nevermind that." Realizing it is rude, the doctor stops himself from prying.

"If you've got nothing to do, why not visit the Adventurer's guild, I'm sure they can help out with your situation." Doctor suggests before taking out a pouch of coins and giving it to you.

"I just remembered, they also said I should give this to you. Reward for helping out in eliminating the goblins." He says as he return to attending the other patients.

"Oh, if becoming Adventurer's not your thing, I do need help in this clinic." He says.
Aug 6, 2020 11:16 am
Tony went deep in thought when he received the reward. Options presented themselves to him. Should he be an adventurer or work in an infirmary? He asks himself.

"I don't think I'm well suited to being an adventurer but I can help you out." Anthony replies.

"Oh, and I did gather some of the glowheart mushrooms you said. Do you need it?" He added.

The doctor smiles. He's more than happy to hear the quick decision from Tony.

"I'm Casio, Newtown's doctor and pharmacist." The doctor introduces himself. He'd offer a handshake but then it won't be unsanitary since he's currently patching up someone.

Casio offers you a place to stay, a small room in his small infirmary that only has a bed, a closet, and a small bathroom. Good thing in this world, there are toilets, faucets, and even a shower all powered by magic. Tony's assigned to aid Casio all around: manning the pharmacy counter, patching up patients, feeding, procuring things, etc.

You have two days off every week, and aside from food and the room, you get a small salary every month. He did ask you to visit the town hall the next day to register yourself. Casio gave you a letter of introduction for the mayor.

Casio also says that he is willing to buy your mushrooms for a fair price.

"Join me for dinner later after I close?" Casio asks.
OOC:
If you join him for dinner, make a perusasion check, DC 5. For every degree of success, you get to ask Casio one question. Also, you get 5 equipment points reward from your rewards from the adventurer's guild. You also get extra 2 equipment points if you sell the mushrooms.
Aug 6, 2020 1:43 pm
OOC:
Guess he wouldn't answer Tony's question.
"Sure." Tony agrees to go to dinner later with Casio and agreed to sell the glowheart mushrooms as well.

"Can I go out before that though? Are there any shops where I can buy things I may need? I do need clothes." Tony says.

He needed things and to gather information as well.

Rolls

Persuasion - (1d20)

(3) = 3

Casio offered you a simple shirt to cover your body and a pair of wooden sandals.
You also got the Haste Shoes back in your inventory. You're not sure how it got back.

Casio permitted you to go out to town to buy what you needed, he gave you instructions to where the shops are.
OOC:
List things you want to buy. I'll put in their prices. You can roll Persuasion to haggle too, but be warned as it might cause their attitude towards you to go down too. You have 7 equipment points.
Aug 7, 2020 6:50 am
"See you later then, Doc." He says as he wear the shirt Casio gave. Secretly he takes out the Haste shoes and wears them instead of the sandals Casio gave.

Tony left the infirmary and followed Casios instructions. What's shopping in this world like? He asks himself as he enjoy sight seeing on what a town in another world is like. Ofcourse there's nothing to compare to as his life back on earth is blurred in his memory.

"Books and Clothes, let's look for those." Tony tells himself.
OOC:
5 points on books
2 points on clothing appropriate for his new job
Aug 12, 2020 2:50 pm
You arrived at the shopping districts. The first one you went to was a book shop Casio recommended. They sell all kinds of books at a good price range. There's literature and manuals in a variety of topics. What do you wish to buy?
OOC:
Give me a list of topics, I'll tell you if they're available or not. Each book costs 1 point.

You arrive at the clothing store Casio recommended, you were able to buy the clean clothes and even the under garments you needed. (1 point)

You still have some money left.(1 point)

Books, let's see...

1. Medicine, First-Aid, Treatment
2. Medicinal Plants
3. World History
4. Creatures of Bezelbebe forest
5. Plants of Bezelbebe forest
6. Etiquette

I plan to read these books later. It would help me do my job well and help me adjust to the realities I am in. I'll save some coin for emergency purposes.
Aug 14, 2020 6:11 am
You didn't find any books about history but the shopkeeper recommends that you visit the town hall for it. As for the rest you were able to buy them at a fair price.

Is there anything Tony would want to do while in town or should he return to the infirmary already?
Aug 14, 2020 10:19 am
These books are good enough for now.

Tony thanks the shopkeepers before leaving. There's nothing much to do but if he still has time perhaps he should visit the adventurer's guild. To thank the people who rescued him and maybe to consult about the adventurer guild, if it is possible to be an adventurer and at the same time an assistant in an infirmary. He should check out the town hall as well, but he can do that tomorrow. The adventurer's guild in the market place, hopefully his visit won't take too long. He did promise Casio he'd join him for dinner.
Aug 14, 2020 1:37 pm
You made your way to the adventurer's guild. There's still time before dinner.
Tony saw the three story tall building in the market area and the adventurers going in and out of the building. He can be certain it was what he was looking for since the sign, spelled in [COMMON], says it.

Anthony enters the building and found people from different races in the large hall.

On the left side, there's a bar manned by a burly tiger like bartender, a catkin. Groups of people gather around round tables, chatting about their quests, drinking, or are waiting for someone or something.

On the right side, are people looking at a board with different sizes of parchments on it. The top of the board says 'Quests'.

The front area has three counters. There's a person behind each counter: an elf lady, a man wearing glasses, and a dog like person.
Aug 15, 2020 3:44 am
I assume the counters are where you get information, the quest boards are where you get jobs, and the bar... well you get drinks from the bar.

Tony approaches the dog person behind the counters and inquires about the adventurers guild: what's an adventurer? how to become an adventurer? Is it ok for someone who works at the infirmary to become an adventurer?

"How can I help you?"

Tony saw the name plate worn by the dog person, it says 'Colette'. The dog-lady answers Tony's questions as best she could in a manner that's kind and accomodating.
What's an adventurer?
Simply put, they are people who earn by doing jobs requested by other people. Adventurers are freelancers and they get jobs from the guild. Colette also shares more information to you about the guild.

* The guild's like a human resources agency that acts as intermediary between client and adventurer.
* The licenses are ranked from E to SSS, higher ranks can take higher ranking quests that are harder but pays a lot more.
* You start at Rank E and can increase your rank if you perform well in your quests.
* The adventurers license is recognized in almost all countries, you'll need it to even enter some cities.
How to become an adventurer?
They only need to get a license here in the adventurers guild. They need to pay money for the processing fee but Colette told you after learning you helped during the goblin menace extermination that you need not pay. She takes out a crystal ball and asks you to put your hand on top of it if you want to register as an adventurer.
Is it ok for someone who works at the infirmary to become an adventurer?
Colette informs you that it is ok, in fact recommended for adventurers to have some other source of income. As long as you finish quests for the adventurer's guild at least once a month, there's no problem. Colette shares that the man Tony is working for, Casio, is an adventurer himself, a Rank B.
Aug 17, 2020 7:13 am
"I see. I'll register myself then." Even back on earth, IDs and papers are essential. Getting this license would really help. He wonders what quests are but did not ask, instead, Tony places his hand on top of the crystal ball.
Aug 17, 2020 11:09 am
When Tony places his hand on the crystal ball, the hologram screen pops up in front of him. It shows a photo of you, your name, your birth date, your blood type, all translated to [ COMMON ]. Colette says you just need to fill in the required information in the screen but somehow it's already auto-filled with information about you.

One area is not filled in though, the blank before [ CLASS ], on your screen are options for you to choose from.
The choices are MAGE, MERCHANT, HEALER, DETECTIVE, PROFESSOR.
Aug 17, 2020 11:47 am
Mage, perhaps cause I can cast time magic. I've been using it and I admit magic's fun.
Merchant, sure I've got the knowledge and the capacity to deal with concepts like supply and demand.
Healer, that's my work right now, I'm assisting Casio.
Detective, well I do like a good mystery.
Professor, am I even good at teaching students?


Tony ponders over the choices before him and picks one that he thinks would define him.

"Mage it is then." Tony selects Mage thinking it is the most suitable descriptor for him right now.
Aug 17, 2020 2:15 pm
Tony picked Mage. The words Mage Lvl 1 and a small icon of what seem to be a magic circle with runes and a seven sided star. The same icon burns on the back of Anthony's right hand as if a tattoo artist used lasers to put it there. Tony learns of new skills from the mage class.
Quote:

[ MAGE Lvl 1 ]
Skill: Magic +2
Advantage: Ritual Casting
Advantage: Artificer

Power: (Element) Affinity
* choose an elemental descriptor, you gain affinity on that element. You have affinity for that type of magic.

Power: Magical awareness
* If you focus, you can 'see' magic.
Sho also learn about two things:

[ Unlock Mage Lvl 2 ] Requires 5 Power points.
[ Gain another class ] Requires 5 Power points.

"Ah, a mage. A lot of parties in this guild are looking for em." Colette chants a few words. The hologram screen disappears and a card appears on her hand. She hands the card to you. In it are the same details and even the photo of you.
Aug 18, 2020 9:38 am
Choose an elemental affinity? I wonder what the choices are but if I have to choose now I'd say Gravity is more suitable.

Tony ponders for a bit before taking his license and putting it inside his dimensional storage. Gravity is versatile and compliments well his time magic, Tony thought. He's got dinner with Casio in the evening so he couldn't stay at the adventurers guild for long to ask more questions.

"I'll check out on quests tomorrow if that's ok. Casio needs me this evening." He says to Colette before saying goodbye and leaving the adventurers guild to go back to the infirmary.
Aug 19, 2020 9:41 am
"Ah, I see. See you tomorrow then Anthony." Collete says.
Tony went back to the infirmary. Casio invited him to the dining area where Casio prepared dinner. The dish Casio prepared looked tomato soup and bread. The bread tasted like vanilla and the soup indeed tastes like tomato soup.

"Anyhing you want to talk about?" Casio asks.
Aug 20, 2020 1:42 am
Tony eats dinner.

There's nothing much to talk about with Casio. Tony has a lot of questions, but perhaps they are things even Casio would not understand. Best keep the questions about blurred memories and another world to himself, he thought.

"I got myself an adventurer's license earlier. I was wondering about work schedule so I can finish some quest as well for extra income." Tony shares before asking about work specifics such as what are the things he needed to do at work.

"I took the mage class so I'm wondering where I could study some spells." Tony asks.
