<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/xdaO4Az.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Rei (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=333483.msg15890913#msg15890913)<br/><strong>Race and Occupation:</strong>Human Kunoichi<br/><strong>Location &amp; Time:</strong>Early morning, main taproom [eventually] | W1D1<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>OPEN<hr/><hr/><br/>Once upon a time there was a teenaged girl that wanted more in life than to pick mushrooms at a cliff's edge, pick berries off of bushes, gather a pile of sticks for a fire and generally do all the things teenaged girls did. Chores, tasks, be well behaved, yadda yadda yadda. There surely must be more out there! That was Rei's thought when she packed up her things (along with some other family items, which she absolutely left a note suggesting that she will be back with those same things being returned. With interest) and decided to go on an adventure.<br/><br/>Her travels, though long, were fairly quiet and otherwise uninteresting. Which was a good thing as she hadn't even left her tiny village on her own for any mentionable length of time until recently. The world could be a scary place with its ornery critters and ne'er-do-wells practically everywhere you went. Rei was thankful for carriages and other like-minded travelers that have kept her blades clean and her journey far from lonely. Right up until she found herself in a place called Amberdale, at least. Her last few coins were spent securing a nice pile of hay for the next couple of nights. The owner of the inn was kind enough to provide her a heavy blanket. It didn't do much for the smell, unfortunately.<br/><br/>Thankfully, it was the morning sun that had caused Rei to rise rather than the stench. Getting up to her feet, the girl wiped away at any dirt and hoped that the gesture was enough to ensure that none of the smell of barn lingered on her. Satisfied she was as ready for the day as she could be, the would-be ninja stepped out onto the street to ponder what she should do with her day. She thought about gathering mushrooms for the tavern owner to say thanks for his hospitality, considering the circumstances. Or even some berries, perhaps. She vaguely remembered seeing a large pile of dried out wood by the hearth, so perhaps gathering some tinder would be a nice sentiment. Wait... these are the things Rei didn't want to do ever again. At least she's getting something out of it if she does it this time? Gah!<br/><br/>Wanting away from the last train of thought, Rei distracted herself with a short walk into the tavern. The door was opened with just enough room for her to slip through and once she was inside she promptly plopped herself down at the first empty table she could find. It wasn't so much that she hated crowds but more that she felt guilty for being unproductive thus far and needed a fully focused thinking session to get her coin purse filled again. Might be why if anyone was looking her way that she seemed perplexed and disinterested. It was maybe only half-true.
