"Hey y'all, I heard we're making a village from scratch so I'm here with no skills to help with that." <3
-the bard everyone hates loves

EDIT: If we really need someone with... skills that are helpful, I'm considering adding in a lil' magic for doing those really basic chores.

Rinn Arniman

Name: Rinn Arniman
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Human

Appearance:

Courtesy of: dc9spot.tumblr.com/post/6398132243453…

Personality:
Quick-witted, sarcastic, and light-hearted, Rinn makes it easy for others to form strong opinions of him during any interaction. He never shies from confrontation and is always ready with a jab or compliment depending on the situation at hand. On the outside he is the life of the party, the unwavering optimist, and the first to call out perceived injustice (though maybe only if an escape route is close at hand). He will defend his friends or loved ones with surprising ferocity, be it in social or physical context. Though skittish in the face of overwhelming odds, Rinn does possess a modicum of skill that lets him defend his boasts or challenges but will quickly spin any loss into a victory, if only in words.

Quirks:
-Always has a tale or anecdote to inspire (or discourage) a course of action. These are most often made up on the spot, though Rinn would never admit it.
-Claims to never-ever be wrong and if he is it’s just because he WANTED you to notice he was wrong so… you’re welcome!
-Will hit on just about anything with two legs (but he can take “no” for an answer).

Brief History:
Rinn Arniman was born the third son of a minor noble family of good standing. His parents were stern and distant and quick to show favor to their first born heir and as he grew, Rinn surrendered his attempts at gaining their approval and spent most of his time galavanting in the local bars or taverns. Handsome and confident, his rousing tenor voice quickly drew the attention of a local bard named Dorn D’Arto who took the boisterous young lad on as an unofficial apprentice. Skipping out on his private tutelage, much to his parent’s chagrin, Rinn quickly picked up the harp and lute and soon became a favorite request by the local drunks and merrymakers.
Just after his 18th birthday the eldest Arniman, Rhohin, was struck down by a fever and the mother and father who never once wasted their affections on Rinn or their second son, Rellin, suddenly realized their continued legacy wasn’t as stable as they believed. They cracked down on Rinn’s ‘frivolous behavior’ and sought to yoke both boys with speedy arranged marriages to other noble houses. Rinn protested his restriction of freedom and when the ultimatum of 'obey or be disowned' was given he chose the latter. Ever vengeful, his parents ensured he would not be welcomed in his local haunts and so the young bard was forced out of the city and into the greater countryside. He made coin where he could but destitution was ever at his heels until that night he sat within the stable of a roadside inn and had a very peculiar sensation. The following morning he started walking east.

It is with this post that I intend to announce my resignation from Umbra Rose. I have been stewing on the thought for a few days; today I decided to act on that thought.

Feel free to consider Suzy "gone". She's a ghost, after all.

@Carlyle

Sad to see you and her go! 🥲 ❤️

If you have a certain mythological being in mind for the 'evening shift' at the URC front desk let me know and I can edit!

She turned to Max, suddenly remembering what she wanted Max for early on. “Max, I’m sorry. Could you order two new blood fridges and some extra bags? The fridge in Lady Coventry’s room is broken, and I want to keep one here in the reception… in case of emergencies.”

@Dragonydas

"O-oh! Of course, Ms. Theria." Max said, smiling at his manager. He wilted only slightly when too many pairs of beedy little eyes turned all at once to focus on him with a look he could never pinpoint exactly but just assumed it was somewhere between indifference, affection and hunger. The clerk gave the many snakes an awkward smile which turned more awkward when he realized he was smiling at a bunch of snakes, though they certainly seemed far more intelligent than the garden variety, before dropping his eyes to his work. Max made a quick sticky note to contact the URC mediator at the local blood bank before making sure the new refrigerator order would be delivered within a buisiness day.

Theria’s stomach growled, making her cheeks turn slightly red, a very visible feature due to the abundance of green on her head. “I’m sorry. I haven’t had breakfast yet… I’m sure Max can help you. I’m just going to get something to eat.” She said as she made her way towards the restaurant. Of course, Kaki the gluttonous snake happily hissed at the idea of food coming near her.

@Dragonydas

Max looked up suddenly, his own cheeks burning red as he made eye contact with Iris and remembered the werewolf's enthusiastic offer to 'change him'. "Have you... uh... thought about... getting a job?"

Late Afternoon

Max turned the key, locking his apartment door with pleasant sigh and strolled down the hallway humming the newest Sabrina Carpenter track. Gone was his button down shirt and tie, replaced with a black Into the Spiderverse graphic-T, khaki shorts and sandals. Surviving another shift at Umbra Rose was always something to be celebrated, though today hadn't been particularly harrowing. The worst it got was when the swamp creature in building 3 had gotten his wading pool filter clogged with muck... again. Max would have to speak with Theria about reminding him that the management needed to approve all additional swamp foliage because he was sure Benoit had been bringing in some new types of swamp grass that wreaked havoc on the pool's systems.

He rode the elevator down to the ground floor and quickly ducked his head into reception. "Have a great shift, Dimitiri!" The massive minotaur, bulging muscles straining the limits of his button down shirt, sat hunched in the too-small-computer chair. He simply snorted without looking up from the 'Livestock Weekly' magazine pinched between his large fur-covered fingers. Dimitrios wasn't one for idle conversation and Max could respect that.

The ground floor was mostly quiet, at the moment, so he strolled towards the cafeteria for a late post-shift lunch.

That's fair enough. Kind of selfish of me to rush things along, sorry.

@Lemons

I’ll say that i completely agree with you. Everyone’s had a chance to move through 1 to 3+ scenes already so I feel it’s a good time!

I'll post tomorow with the time-skip. Going for Late Afternoon / Early night. Mostly dinner time.

@Dragonydas

Whooooo!!!

Umbra Rose Condos

Of all of them, he's not afraid of the slime Queen? I suppose they probably wrote notes back and forth

@CitrusArms

“The Flatshare” by Beth O’Leary is a romantic comedy book with that as the premise: a guy works as a night nurse and a girl has a day job and they fall in love through post-it notes without ever meeting and it’s so beautiful and wholesome. 🥺

Umbra Rose Condos

Surprise!!! Three NPCs have been added. They are in the character page as the 0th post.

@Dragonydas

If Max becomes best friends with ANYONE it's with Regina, Queen of Sloombas.

As far as ways to go, I'd say that's a pretty awesome way to go though. ^^

@Xaltwind

Up there with death by SnuSnu, to be sure.
