You reached Tallis. I'm either away being awesome, or I'm lying face down in a ditch somewhere. If I don't get back to you in twenty four hours, assume it's the second and send a rescue party.

Seriously.

Hey! I was wondering if I may ask two questions? That and one other.

text;

[learntoswim]

So a total of three questions? I think I can stretch to that.

Fire away!

text;

[thevelmster]

That was one. The other is if you'd be interested in living in a house rather than an apartment?

text;

[learntoswim]

Honestly? Yeah. I'm not much of a stay-in-one-place gal, my work takes me all over. But staying in a house makes more sense than these apartment things.

[thevelmster]

I have two great dane puppies that will need more room as they grow larger, so a house with a backyard's a logical decision. I already have one roommate, but would you like to be the other?

[learntoswim]

[Now that's...quite the offer. For all her bluster and joking attitude, what Tallis wants, what Tallis craves is somewhere she feels like she can belong. The fact anyone actually wants her to live with them is surprising in itself, as is the realisation she really does want this. She doesn't have to keep herself to herself here. She can actually live, actually be herself. Whoever 'herself' is. ]

I've never seen a Great Dane before, but I sure do love puppies. Sure, why not? It'll be fun.

[It'll be more than fun, it'll mean a lot. Tallis won't admit to that, though. Nope. ]

[Have a picture of the two big-pawed fur piles laying on the couch.]

Great Dane is a breed of dog, and these are the two of them. They’ll get pretty big.

Great! Though there’s one more thing I should mention. My friend Cian will be living in the house too. He’s painfully shy and would benefit from living in a bigger place with nature nearby. Is that okay?

text;

[learntoswim]

You can't hear me over this, but I just made an undignified squealing noise. They're so cute.

Cian, huh? Not met him, I'll make sure to send him a message. And that's fine by me, maybe living with people might get him out of his shell a little.

text;

[thevelmster]

They're sweethearts, and of course they're already blanket thieves. I blame the blizzard spoiling them.

You should message him. He reminds me of a friend of mine back home. It's amusing that they're both tall too. Just don't scare him too much.

[learntoswim]

That is adorable.

I promise I will be my least terrifying.

[edification]

I saw your ad, I was wondering, can you make duplicate keys? Like for an apartment?

[learntoswim]

[Hooray, business!]

Sure! I can absolutely do that.

[edification]

Oh good.

Um, do you prefer money or bartering? I can do either. I run the Apothecary and Witchcraft shop by the botanical gardens.

[learntoswim]

I prefer money. Not much use for magic-type things, I'm not a mage.

[edification]

We can preform spells too, y'know.

But money works for me, how much?

hello hi, this dude is a hella locksmith and also i'm so gross in love with DA, i couldnt resist 8T

[drang]

[ username: bogdanow ]

Are you hiring?

omg excellent excellent

[learntoswim]

Hey there, you betcha! Work's a little slow, but the more the merrier.

You an ace of the locksmithing world, or are you a newbie looking to learn?

:3 i maybe squealed a bit when i saw the community board sticky note thing for this

[drang]

Ace.

[ moreso, thief. he's a jewel thief, and a box man. but a good one, and did work in an actual, respectable establishment back home. that'll be the part that actually ends up on the resume. if he ever... writes a resume. ]

Haven't been a newbie for a long time. I ran a shop with my friend back home, in Berlin.

awww, I'm glad!

[learntoswim]

Is that the planet you come from? Berlin?

And great! Welcome aboard... insert name here?

8D

[drang]

City. Country was Germany, planet was Earth. Yours?

Wolfgang. Thanks. Have you been in business long?

[learntoswim]

That Earth place again, it's popular.

My world doesn't really have a name, but the continent is called Thedas. I was born in a place called Tevinter, but my home's wherever I get sent.

Only a month! You're just in time for the fresh new-ness feel.

[drang]

Seems so. I recognize most places I've heard so far. Not Thedas.

You travel for work? For locksmithing? [ which you wouldn't need to travel for, he doesn't think, so the question is more 'what did you do at home instead?' ]

And the scrambling for customers. It'll be fine. Everyone has lock problems.

[learntoswim]

Lucky for you, I'm the first. There's a lot of us from there that have been brought here. Guess we have that vibe.

Oh no, I'm not a locksmith back home. It just happened to be the closest job I could find to what I do back home that was still technically legal.

That IS true.

[drang]

That the place has a lot willing to cuddle for deals?

[ "technically legal"... ] 'Skeletons in the Closet' more literal than figuirative? Either way, I know some in the same position. Utopia puts a lot of people out of a job.

We could always go around busting locks and wait for people to come looking for fixes. But that would be unethical.

[ h...a..... ]

[learntoswim]

Seems so! I wouldn't call Thedas a 'cuddly' place, but apparently I'm wrong.

I thought was was being very clever and punny at the time.

That would be unethical and we should totally not plan a day to do that at all.

[Please she misses messing people's stuff up for shits and giggles, it's been FOREVER. ]
