[OOC] Side Quest - Sword Art Online

@Haeo
hm id be okay with that.

[Haeo]

@BlackPanther It would let us get all the pig jokes out of our system too. That would increase the average joke quality by a lot going forward.

[Haeo]

How classy does the name of a secondary town designed to house people for between one to three levels worth of time need to be? This is SAO where they didn't even bother to name anything but the world, the beginning and the end.

But, if Hamheim is too much pork for your sensibilities, there's also options like Harvest, Appleton, Vinburg, and Bull's Run.

@Zelosse

[Zelosse]

@Haeo didn't mean it in a rude way. I just always imagined they put a lot of love into the names of each and every town.
Hamheim seems demeaning. That's just my personal taste.
I like Bulls run. A lot.

[BlackPanther]

bull's run is cool... that way it sounds like a farm town without being a joke name

[Haeo]

@Zelosse I wasn't offended. It was meant as more a debate starter/joke. Still, with Bull's Run we need to make it a cattle town. That would match the wild dogs around it, especially if there are woodlands on the other side of high-pastures with a level three wolf problem. Repeatable quest kinda deal helping the farmers kill the wolves? It might be enough of a challenge if they're in packs of five or so with a level four alpha in each pack.

@BlackPanther Yup. The trick is to craft a name that doesn't take itself too seriously while being descriptive of what is there.

[Zelosse]

@Haeo my bad. I just naturally assumes I had stepped on toes. I do that a lot unintentionally >.<

[Haeo]

Try not to worry so much about mine, @Zelosse. I worked in customer service for five years or so. It's hard to offend me.

@Haeo

I'm at my customer service job right now.
Hard to offend me too. But I dont want to offend others.
Managers get upset when you tell the guy yelling at you "catch fire and fuck off"

@Zelosse

Hah! That would be so satisfying though! Still, I understand and share the same affliction.

[BlackPanther]

my job is a weird mix between rep service and customer service.... and then webcams... and smiling

@BlackPanther

Always the smiling. The mask of friendly and warm behavior overlapping, no, OBSCURING, a complete and total lack of empathy for customers with no god damn idea how stupid they look honkin' their horn.
*seethes*

[BlackPanther]

for me the most frustrating part is getting that smile up and prepping the cheerfulness for a customer turning on the webcam and... the rep is just checking to make sure the computer works or they "just wanted to call" or they start just messing around for no reason

[Zelosse]

We are modern day slaves

[Haeo]

@Zelosse Wage slaves are we. We three in slavery. Bound to grin through thick and thin and be the calm voice in the din.

@Haeo

*puts hat over heart* PREECH IT.

[Haeo]

@Zelosse

More importantly though. Now I'll have to wait for a couple people to post before I unleash another monster of description and narration. Gah, if only I could have managed that for the intro post I just had to cobble together. Bloody little three or four paragraph trinket...

[Zelosse]

me and Sif are off work in like 20m. We intend to do a colab for the morning. Something simple.
Us crushing a large group of wolves, or us working at the blacksmiths to make a new weapon.
@Haeo

[Haeo]

Ok, so I can probably post after that then. Though, since we haven't time-skipped yet, we still have to meet up at the inn for the night and finish the meet and greet. After all, we haven't actually formed a full sized party or guild yet. I know that Tailpin isn't a member yet, for one.

@Zelosse

[Zelosse]

@Haeo sounds good to me.
