Aya

Awwww! You guys are the best!

Part of the perk is being called by Aya to beat people up who deserve it, despite having zero authority. Right? "The barmaid made me do it!"

Aya seemed startled at the unexpected interjection, "Is there a problem here?" Outside of the Quick Sand she still remained apprehensive of Ul'dahn officials. In the tavern she had Momodi watching over her, but out on the streets she felt utterly exposed to the sometimes wanton and arbitrary methods of law enforcement in the city. Fortunately, the look of worry in her eyes as she first turned toward the Miqo'te faded rapidly as a look of recognition crossed her blue eyes--her shoulders visibly sagged in relief. She smiled, her voice becoming soft again, "I think everything is alright. The girl here is just a little over-enthusiastic about her trade." Aya glanced to the Elezen, her eyes now allaying her earlier fear, as she holds her smile, "I'm afraid that I'm already employed, and not really looking for a trade..." The tone of her voice was gentle, but the declaration definite. This was not a woman who wanted to work with her hands, as Midna's analytical eyes have probably already concluded. It would be difficult to imagine her in an Alchemy Laboratory. She turned her head back to T'shina, asking hopefully, "Maybe you could walk with me back to the Quick Sand?" The Elezen was probably innocent, but Aya still did not like the idea of taking any chances. With the rumors swirling about it would sure feel nice to get both feet back in that space where she had come to feel most at ease within the busy, bustling, boisterous city of the Desert Sun.

Aya meets another Quick Sand regular!

Those are really lovely! (Especially Osric's)

That's only good if you are a Paladin or a Warrior. Then you can pretty much wear the widest array of clothes, only missing some Disciple of Magic specific items. Mages hit in the head with a baseball bat, though. They can't wear leather and other clothy-looking items that only Disciples of War can. Not to mention they can't mix and match their clothes to look like "wizard who wears armor" or something like that. Unfortunately you can only glamour what you can wear, so it really doesn't add anything for RP purposes. All it does is allow you to make gear you wear for its stats look like gear you actually want to wear

I don't know who this is for... but I will take it! Maybe I'm talking about the apple? ^^ And.. yay! Screen shot with Kage! You're right that Aya's neck would hurt after a while of that.. too bad kneeling is just a temporary emote.. would make RP conversations with Lalafel look a little less awkward!

All you can do really is just take every chance you can to RP. Trying approaching people- after you have, if they seem like they don't want to be bothered, than don't bother them, and you can always ask in an OOC whisper to double check But, really, random walk-up RP is the best way to meet people and sort of figure out what you're doing.

OMG! Now I feel bad!! But welcome to Balmung! :-X

really!? ;-; I was trying to enter Balmung, but I couldn't DX Hehe, I think she was just messing around. Both servers are viable for rp! Gilgamesh doesn't have as much open world rp as is on Balmung (I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong), but it is as rich and deep. All you need is to show up at some events or send a pm to a player of a gilg character that interests you to get something started. Plenty of Gilg people have great and satisfactory rp, and I'm sure you will too. ohhhh >~> Ah, I see! Thanks for the info, but one question though if it's not too much. It's possible to transfer characters to a different server, right? I mean you're on the wrong server to RP with me! Totally wrong, and terrible! (Just kidding!)

Hi! Welcome to the RPC! You're on the wrong server, but that's okay ^_~

Oh it does sound -terrific-, I didn't mean to suggest otherwise! Just not something Aya is likely to wander off to attend by herself

Oh its like a fight club thing? Not exactly Aya's cup of tea, but that sounds like it should keep some of the ruffians out of the QS for a while at least!

I've only been on late lately, summer has been stealing away most of my early evening time Hopefully you can run into Aya serving the tables soon Warren! I keep hearing of the Grindstone, but I am kind of blonde.. where is it?

I have not met Warren yet... I hope that changes soon!

Hiiii! Welcome to Balmung!

Just the EPIC horizon!

I've been trying to find a fun one, but I guess I am just not that good at taking screen shots at the right time! But.. Aya did try out a new outfit the other night and I just love it! So.. pic time! And enjoying a pleasant conversation with Colt at the Quick Sand, one of the perks at working is the place is meeting and then running into fun people again and again!

As Midna lets Aya go, she withdraws her arms quickly, with a gasp, her breath still rapid as she calms a little from the withdrawal of any immediate danger. "Wait, what about the alchemist's guild?" she asks, as if she had missed everything the Elezen had said to that point, her voice still raised, though softer than a moment ago. Her blue eyes still stood wide as she glanced about now furtively, catching momentarily upon the group of Alchemists, readily identifiable by their professional garb, "You're with them?" She mutters a little under her breath, giving her head a slight shake, Maybe she's not an assassin after all... As Midna gets a closer look at the Hyur girl, her cloak now laying open and hood thrown back, she does not appear to be much of a candidate for a trade guild, or hard work of any kind.

Aya, of course, was trying to disguise herself. Osric's warning had been stern: assassins were attempting to kill Ishgardian exiles, those who had willingly fled from the city' shuttered gates, just as she had almost a year earlier. When she felt a sudden tug, she turned her head making eye-contact with the Duskwight woman who had grabbed her. The words regarding the alchemy guild washed right over her without recognition, she looked back with widened eyes, letting out a soft but startled, "huh?" As the Elezen dragged her along, her feet stumbling a bit as her mind tried to catch up to what was going on, she began to make the connection between the Duskwight and the Ishgardians. Certainly they wouldn't approach her in such a crowded place... Ser Kiht had told her, afterall, that they were not specifically after her. But still To Be Careful! "Huh? What? she stammered, turning her head quickly back and forth, sending her hood falling back off of her head, long hair flowing freely down her shoulders and back. As the potential danger of the situation finally gripped her, she planted her feet with a start, catching a rut between the paving stones with the edge of her high boot heels. Lowering her body weight she suddenly tugs back, trying to wrench her arm free of the harmless, but threatening Elezen. "What do you want me with me?!" she asks in a suddenly raised voice, her eyes wide with a mixture of surprise and fright.

No reason to apologize! Take care of yourself, Ruru!

Excepting the cloak hastily wrapped around her, Aya was already dressed to barmaid. From the market she planned to head to the Quick Sand, and start her work for the day. She had not adopted the fashions that seemed to preside in Ul'dah, but looked instead like she had just teleported straight from Northern Eorzea. As she moved from stall to stall, weaving her way through the marketplace throngs, her unsecured cloak gave glimpses of the short skirt, high leather boots, and corset-style bodice she most often wore for work. Momodi thought the "exotic" look might encourage business, and make some of the foreign adventurers feel more at home in the Quick Sand. Ever one to feel fashionable in everything she did, Aya had been quick to agree. She carried a woven basket on her left arm, containing an assortment of spices and ingredients, already purchased, to use in the preparation of the evening's special: Momodi's favorite lamb kebabs. The scent of spice wafted around her, mixing with the light dab of perfume she wore; down to the final drops of the Ishgardian fragrance, she used it sparingly, wondering when her supplier, C'kayah, might return with more... She looked plaintively to the spice peddlar, holding a cup filled with peppercorns. Faced with those sad blue eyes, and bitten lip, the stoic Ul'dahn relented, accepting the proffered coin with a grudging nod, and a roll of the eyes. Turning away, the girl could not quite contain the smile that crept across her lips. Every gil saved was another she might enjoy; she lifted the small purse with her fingers, feeling the few coin remaining at the end of her errands, some of which just might not make it back to Momodi. She continued a short distance along the stalls the before approaching a display of jewelry. Eyes widened, she leaned forward letting her long curled bangs fall from her hood. She carefully cared for those locks: washing, treating, and maintaining that hint of natural curl that made her hair slightly unpredictable. She felt it made her stand out in the Quick Sand, and helped with the steady tips and recognition that made the work more worthwhile. Yet, the same striking sight meant to catch the eye of patrons of the Quick Sand, would do just the same when trying to hide from curious eyes in the open market, rendering her "subtle disguise" rather less useful than she realized. Her eyes, full with delight, moved quickly through the seemingly endless assortment of chains and gems, but it was a collection of belly-chains that really caught her attention. She couldn't help but think that whatever Ul'dahns may have lacked in anything else, they made up for it in their incredible variety of body-jewelry. "So beautiful..." she said aloud without thinking it, biting her lip as she hefted the small purse once more, knowing it was just not going to be enough.

Welcomes to you!

I used to hang around Fallgourd Float looking for RP, because that's where Aya's last posting was for her FC. It was pretty quiet, really, almost empty, except for people that came out just to see me. I am sure once Coil moves on that it will be the sleepy little wilderness location that it seems intended to be, once more. It really is lovely though

I love you guys!! ^^ *laughs*
