Secrets : Name Title Age, Race, Sex Skills Description Pay per Month             Veronica Lint Assistant Baker 25, Human, Female L2 Baking, L2 Cake Decorating Veronica is a beautiful young woman with short brown hair and deep brown eyes. She is a friendly woman who can usually be found with flour on her nose and knee-deep in children. She has a youthful demeanour and a ready smile. She adores children, loving nothing more than to spend the afternoon baking bread with a hoard of youngsters. She has no children herself as she is as yet unwed, but she is often seen around the resort, with some sweet treats that she has baked on a tray, asking passers-by to test them. 300 **             Ranklin Green Assistant Chef 32, Human, Male L2 Cooking, L2 long knives Ranklin is a short and slightly chubby man with a shock of yellow-blond hair. He has bright blue eyes and a face which is more wrinkled than normal for a man of his age. His temper is legendary, but the fierceness with which he approaches his job is mirrored in the passion he has for food. He will help anyone, whenever he can, but he will not be taken for granted. 500             Larson Avias Assistant Masseuse 33, Kemite, Male L2 Massage, L2 Composition, L2 Meditation Larson is Zanas Avias’ son. He grew up within his mother’s influence and training, encouraging him to rise up and become a masseuse like his famous mother. Lars is very overprotective of his younger sister Song, and is constantly writing her new music to sing. 500 +             L'ortha Back-up Bartender 27, Katta, Female L2 Bartending, L2 K’Tesh L'ortha is a tall stately katta woman in her late 20’s. A recent immigrant from Arakmat, she speaks with a slight accent from that region. An ardent people watcher with a prodigious memory; she rarely forgets a face and goes out of her way to greet repeat customers by name. She has something of a temper, but is almost always cheerful when free of aggravation. 400 *             Mak "Dimples" Blackmoore Receptionist, Back-up Bartender/Bouncer 28, Human, Male L1 Barkeeping, L3 Brawling, L2 Dagger Mak is a man with a dark past, but you'll never hear him talk about it. Instead, he will fill your ears with a good story or an even better joke. He's quick on his feet, as well as with his tongue, and he'll be the first one to jump the bar if ever a fight breaks out. 400 *             Cynara El'brith Barmaid 72, Elf, Female L2 Barkeeping, L2 Perfuming, L1 Singing Unusually buxom for a elfin lass, golden curls frame her heavy lidded eyes and perpetually and smiling face. Cynara has a voice like pure honey; sweet, pure and reminiscent of lazy summer afternoons. She is usually easy going, but if provoked into a rage can put on quite a display, a fact somewhat mitigated by her refusal to carry grudges. She enjoys talking to customers to the extent that she sometimes must be prodded to keep working, but Garit considers her quite valuable for her customer relation skills. In her spare time, Cynara secretly is teaching herself to be a perfumist. 175 *             Song Avias Beautician 31, Kemite, Female L2 Beautician, L2 Cosmetics, L1 Harping Song is Zanas’ youngest daughter. She specializes in hair dressing, dying, cutting, and cosmetics at the Euphoria Spa, filling a niche her mother and brother have no time to do being heavily involved in massage. Song is close to her older brother, and often seen playing her harp which her brother bought her after their father died. 500             Tollin Stonebreaker Dishwasher 212, Dwarf, Male L2 Storytelling Tollin is an old dwarven man who stands 4’8” tall and wears his light beard trimmed short. He is a good worker and rather cheerful for a dwarf unless someone takes his stepping stool, a sin he cannot forgive. He is inordinately proud of his deep baritone singing voice for reasons that are not immediately apparent, and will often sing unless threatened with physical harm. He aspires to be a cook, an ambition that is somewhat impeded by his rather simple tastes. His idea of a good dinner is a large hunk of roasted meat and nothing more. 125             Almya Freshwater Dishwasher 14, Human, Female L2 Potting Almya is a human girl of 14. Her family is undergoing severe financial trouble and so she has gone to work to help out despite her young age. She is deathly afraid of being fired as her family needs her income, and this makes her nervous and hard to get to know. She is a bit shy, but will talk about horses happily for any length of time that you will stand and listen. Almya’s most precious possession is a potters wheel which she secretly creates lovely pieces upon, though she shows almost no one her artistic endeavors. 125             Thom Greenmeadow Gardener 75, Cether, Male L2 Gardening, L2 Herbalism Thom is a gruffly spoken cether with a thick accent. He is a cheerful enough person once he's had a few drinks, but until then he borders on dour. He loves nothing more than working in the gardens and is found there often, even after hours, pottering around. Thom also knows something of herbs, which goes along with his greenthumb. 200             Sully Greenmeadow Gardener 72, Cether, Female L2 Gardening, L2 Poisons Sully is Thom’s sister. Like him, she is an avid gardener, but likes people a bit more. She is the only person Thom talks to readily and she often acts as his “interpreter,” dealing with people so that he won’t have to. She also knows her way around a good drink and quite a few toxic plants. 200             Myx Gardener 26, Half-Elf, Female L2 Gardening, L1 Sewing Myx is a feisty young woman who has had more than one run-in with Cynara. She has a fiercely quick temper, but she couples this with a tendency to flare up and then calm down equally quickly. Apart from this she is a generous young woman who would give away her last, but she will argue with anyone if she thinks that a wrong is being done. Her relationship with Cynara fluctuates between best friends and best enemies, and they can often be found either arguing or walking together arm in arm and giggling. 200             Jarel Wheelwright Gardener 21, Human, Male L1 Gardening, L1 Architecture (outdoor) Jarel is an outrageous flirt who seems to like nothing more than making women blush and/or giggle. He has an excellent physique which he very proudly shows off to anyone who will pay attention. Jarel lives in fear of commitment, it seems, and would much prefer to work his way through life with a flirt and a stolen kiss. He has an excellent eye for landscaping and has produced ideas for some of the gardens most amazing layouts. 200             Elle Berdelis Gift Shop Clerk 21, Half-Elf, Female L1 Clerking Elle is a rather snooty woman who seems to think that she is, somehow, superior to all others. She has a tendency to look down on those around her and to call everyone "dear" or some other such patronizing term. She is, however, extremely efficient and meticulous, and she runs her small empire with a very firm hand. Elle does needlepoint in her spare time, and often can be seen carrying a gilded basked holding her work. However, all her pieces are made from only the best silk thread with the most expensive canvas possible. 170 ++             Zanas Avias Head Masseuse 54, Kemite, Female L3 Massage, L2 Meditation, L1 Rhetoric Zanas Avias is a former Keme’dral who relocated to Demios with her husband Lars after her husband was forced to retire from the Darui’Torek after loosing an arm in battle. They came for business, though Lars was killed in the Mer War leaving Zanas a widow. She now runs Euphoria Spa with her two adult children. Zanas is an incredible listener, and its often thought she could read even the quietest person, knowing their true nature in just a few minutes of conversation. Even the most skittish customers relax around this soft-spoken kemite woman. 1000 +             Shelly Norman Hostess 30, Human, Female L2 Rhetoric, L1 Manners Shelly is the epitome of a professional hostess. She is always immaculately made up and impeccably dressed. She makes good use of the beauty treatments at the resort, both because they help her to look good and because she can then tell the clients, in great detail, just how wonderful they are. She is friendly and polite but keeps to herself, showing her professional demeanor to all, including the other members of the staff. 200             Lasiandra Mycroft Maid 19, Human, Female L2 Housekeeping, L1 Flower Arranging Sian is a short chubby girl in her late teens, with dark hair and eyes. She is quite timid and shy, and rarely meets anyone’s gaze. She is a hard worker, and is not good at saying “no,” which means that she often gets stuck with the worst jobs available. Lasiandra knows her way around cut flowers and can be counted on to create lovely bouquets upon request. 200             Abbie Koler Maid 18, Human, Female L2 Housekeeping, L2 Sculpting Abbie is a thin girl with an overflow of energy, so that she is always in motion. Her hair is straight and light brown, and she has a pleasant, active face. Abbie is excessively sweet natured, and is scandalized by cursing or rough talk. She cannot walk past a baby without patting it on the head or even better, holding it. She is Lasiandra’s friend and often tries to protect her from the burdens which Lasiandra too willingly takes on. Abbie is something of a sculptor in her spare time, preferring to work with soapstone rather than harder materials. Some of her work is sold in the Secret Garden Giftshop. 200             Keleen Cooper Maid 16, Human, Female L2 Housekeeping, L2 Whip Keleen is a young girl in the final throes of surly adolescence. She is fairly sure that she knows better than everyone else in the world, but is grudgingly coming to the realization that it is not always good politics to let on to that fact. She is tall with dark hair and a fairly curvy silhouette, and wears black as often as she can. Keleen has learned whip to go along with her rebellious aura. Those who make reference to the fact that her name sounding something like “clean” is especially appropriate for a maid will be treated to a championship caliber teenage eye-roll. 200             Lucy Isham Pastry Shop Clerk 16, Nimalni Elf, Female L1 Clerking, L2 Sketching, L1 Cake Decorating Lucy is a quiet and reserved woman who has an intense expression. A girl with a tragic past, she is usually quite shy around new people, although she is cheery and friendly to customers. Usually she can be seen sketching or daydreaming away. 175 **             Terrick Rainee Pool Boy 19, Human, Male L3 Swimming, L2 First Aid, L2 Violin Terrick has a thick Arakmatan accent and his language is rather stilted. He arrived with Subra, although they are not often seen speaking together. He is a quiet man and he seems to be a natural observer rather than talker, much preferring to watch and learn than to be speaking himself. He always wears a necklace on a leather thong with a strange five-sided pattern on it. 175             Eva Taylor Pool Girl 19, Kemite, Female L2 Swimming, L3 First Aid, L2 Harp Eva is a rather negative young woman who seems to always take an approach of her glass being half-empty. She comes from a wealthy background and speaks with a very well-educated accent. Her wealthy parents cut off all ties, however, when she came home pregnant. She and her baby girl, Ira, manage to get by well enough but the experience seems to have left Eva with a negativity which is hard to shift. 175             Jasper Finnigan Security Officer 48, Human, Male L2 Laeon Zinn’ka, L1 Scribe, L1 Longsword Jas is quite the odd duck. Though physically he doesn't stand out in a crowd at five-foot-nine, hundred-seventy-five pounds, brown hair, and green eyes, he has a very quirky sense of humor. He's heard rumor that M'cai has one too, so he likes to play her games...though word is the real reason is a crush on the Esh. He wears his lopsided grin casually and can be kind of awkward at times, though you wouldn't expect it of him as when it comes to doing his job, he's all business and though he makes mistakes, he owns up to them easily and wishes only to get better. 300             Lay'shara Eth'reldin Security Officer 85, Thelyri Elf, Female L2 Ataa, L2 Swimming, L2 Tumbling Shara seems at first rather standoffish. She shares very little of her personal life, takes her job incredibly seriously, and only smiles as a requirement of the job. She frowns upon others fraternizing, feeling that the workplace is an inappropriate place to do such things. As one gets to know her, however, they understand that it is simply her nature as raised by her father, and that she's actually a very gentle and loving person beneath it...it's just that at work no one ever sees that side of her. She's athletic and as fast a runner as she is flexible, and leads a very tame and healthy lifestyle. She has honey blond hair and blue-on-black eyes, with a green tint to her fair skin. She stands at 5'2" and about a hundred and twenty pounds. 300             Kelgin Moltenbuild Security Officer 172, Dwarf, Male L2 Axe, L1 Scribe, L1 Brewing Five feet even and two hundred pounds of muscle make up this surly fellow with glittering, coal-black eyes. He's rather congenial and jovial, actually, and has a tendency to enjoy his drink a bit too much, though it's not as of yet affected his ability to be at work on time and do his duty. He owns a sharp mind and an even sharper axe, and though at first look he might seem a bit dense, it's merely a ruse to throw anyone off from suspecting his true strength is in his deductive skills. It's rare that his black-bearded face is without a broad grin nor his voice a buoyant tone. Kelgin is perhaps a bit too attached to his fedora. 300             Nathanial Warden Ship Captain 35, Half-Elf, Male L3 Sailing, L3 Navigation, L2 Cutlass Retired from the Imperial Navy, Nathanial is really one of those part time employees that gets paid to be on call at any and all times for taking out The Fire Gem to escort guests on tours around the island. He loves his job, and has endless cheerful stories to tell the tourists, often being the best part of the tour himself. He doesn’t talk about his time in the Imperial Navy though. Some secrets remain buried in this man’s life. 1000             Artius Nagri Stable Master 34, Human, Male L3 Horse Training/Riding, L2 Horse Driving He hated the shipbuilding business, that much was for sure. So when Tolan's youngest son set out, he simply jumped ship in Prime and stepped off the boat in Demios, where he took up horsemanship and hasn't given it up yet. He is supervising the CG Stables from the groundbreaking to the management. Artius is rough, lacks good speaking skills, and often stares suspiciously at folks, trusting horses more than people. 1000             Issy Tinker Stable Hand 32,Human, Female L1 Horse Training/Riding, L1 Sailing Issy is a long-legged beauty who has no idea of just how beautiful she is. She has long chocolate colored hair which she usually wears tied back tightly and a pale complexion. She adores horses and much prefers their company to that of humans. She has an almost uncanny ability to calm horses down by speaking to them in a soft and gentle voice. When faced with a visitor to the stables she is friendly and polite, and she avoids conflict at almost any cost. Nathanial has taken her under his wing and she often goes out with him on The Fire Gem when he’s in need of more crew, and the stables aren’t busy. 200             Trinny Harburton Stable Hand 19, Human, Female L1 Horse Training/Riding, L1 Gadgeteering Trinny is a gregarious and outgoing young woman who has a very down-to-earth attitude. She has a ready grin and a quite cheeky sense of humor. If left to her own devices she would be a practical joker, but she is very serious about her job. She works hard and plays hard, engaging in banter with any who wish it and flirting outrageously with attractive males. Trinny is also very clever with her hands and knows how to fiddle with things to make them work. 200             Geoffrey Given Top Chef 24, Human, Male L3 Cooking, L3 Baking, L1 Guitar A young and skillful chef and baker, Geoffrey Given learned to master the culinary arts from both his parents and his now deceased wife. Given has a charming smile and boyish blond hair with blue eyes to match. His favorite thing in the world is to bake with good company nearby, particularly Miss Weiss, the resort's manager. Chef Given is accustomed to making rounds out in the restaurant and making pleasant conversation. With loud cheery laughter and amazing cooking talents Geoffrey does not fail to charm the ladies. 1000             Myran Penman Waiter 32, Human, Male L2 Waitering, L1 Dancing, L1 short sword A wiry human with straight blond hair, Myran is friendly, talkative, and prone to impressive bursts of energy. When he gets wrapped up in a project he often forgets to eat or take a break, and sometimes has to be coaxed to do so by his fellow servers. Myron is an enthusiastic dancer in his off hours. 175             Wylum Denton Waiter 35, Human, Male L2 Waitering, L1 Scribing Wylum is a kind and gentle man who goes out of his way to make sure that everyone is happy, even if he is off the clock. He has a remarkable memory and never has to write a single order down. 175             Thara Aljen Waitress 21, Human, Female L1 Waitressing, L1 Gossiping Thara is a splendid young lady who takes great pride in her work, however, watch out, she loves a good prank or joke, almost as much as she likes the desserts that she serves her patrons, which shows in her very full figure. 175             Subra La'Mare Waitress 22, Air'riela, Female L2 Waitressing, L1 Tarot, L1 Dance Subra's a wanderer that just seemed to drift through the front gates one day and decided to stay awhile. She is shy, insightful, but loves to dance. She can often be enticed to dance with the patrons if a particularly good musician is playing, and quite often she can be seen reading her tarot cards for side coin. 175             Total: 34           Total CG Wages: 8,600 * Bar Paying ** Sweet Indulgence Paying + Euphoria Spa Paying ++ Secret Garden Gifts Paying

[Revus Gildas]

TIMESTAMP: Late Morning, The Ninth of Junctior, Autumn, Era XV

When Revus walked into the Crystal Gardens Resort, it was different than anything he had ever seen. The place was luxurious and had an aura of nobleness about it. It was a far cry from his one room hovel in the Residential Disrict. Stepping up to the reception desk, and almost taken back by the beauty of the place, Revus put his hands on the counter. The receptionist behind the desk smiled," Serale! Welcoem to the Crystal Gardens! How can we help you today?"

Revus smiled back at her. She was a beautiful woman a little older than Revus. "Well, I am here to inquire about a job. I really have no work experience. I am good with birds, I can build a little, and I can clean as good as anyone."

Revus stared at the woman, waiting for a reply. She sat thinking...

Revus

Follow me to a job interview!

[Dego Mernoff]

31st of Cryxatum, (Late Afternoon)
Season of Spring,
Era I of the Celestine Mandate,
Era XV Post Fractum

After a bit of a bit of aimless roaming and wandering, and then finally asking for a few directions from the locals Dego at last made his way to the place known as the Crystal Gardens. The name was all too familiar for him, but in comparison, this place was ten fold the resort that resided in the dim walls of Nexus Prime. It had struck him odd to find it here of all places, across the vast expanse of the empire, or kingdom or whatever people were calling the lands these days but none the less it was here, in all of its majesty.

Atop Diligence, the half esh slowly rode up to the marble pathway and wrought iron gates. The heavy bars were reminded him of the cold, hard gates to the cells in his compound. How Dego longed to return home to his beloved city, to be able to breath new life into her streets… Alas though he was still not ready, and these days he often wondered if he would ever be… Those thoughts were quickly pushed away however as the servants opened the gates and Dego slid from his Raslin’s back, taking light steps forward to greet whomever welcomed him there.

Bowing his head respectively the raven strands cascaded about his face, cradling the pale flesh of his cheeks and highlighting the thin pink smile that he so often wore upon his lips. “Serale friend…” he greeted in his silken tone of confidence, adorned with melodic fluidity akin to most elf kind he continued. “Your establishment comes recommended from the guard for a good meal, and if it is the same as her sister in Nexus, I am happy to have come upon the place. Tell me, does the same proprietor own both establishments?”

Dego pulled his riding coat about him a bit more to conceal his blades beneath, not so much out of suspicion but to make himself seem more presentable to the current company. As he did the Talwaska scales adorning his right should caught the light of the first setting sun and glowed with a blue haze that helped highlight his dull eyes. However as one of the hands moved for Diligence, the mood quickly changed, the Raslin stepped back and away, feelings of anxiety rushing forth and prompting the half elf to stand between his mount and any of the workers. “I wouldn’t be so quick to reach for him like that if I were you… He is well mannered but still shy about people, and that could lead to accidents, or if mistakenly provoked, much worse. Those hooves are as strong and sharp as any blade and his teeth as quick as daggers. I think it best I accompany you to the stables and tend him to a stall… if you have one, preferably something with space as he likes to spread his wings. Will that be an issue?”

Dego

Mak Blackmoore was on duty, though he wasn't actually working that hard. He was enjoying one of Garits newest creations near the reception desk, while simultaneously watering several of the large potted plants there. Sure there were gardeners on duty to preform the task, but Mak had recently taken it upon himself to tend to the plants arranged artfully around the reception. They weren't just any green leafy plants. The Dreamvines had interesting properties if Zanas Avias, the head masseuse was to be believed. The Kemite woman had brought the seeds herself, and Mak had taken part of them for several favors he'd done the Avias' in their move to the Gardens, mainly over the blood and sweat of his own back hauling Zanas' equipment. Besides, the more the dreamvines flourished, the more the young gardener Mynx was impressed, and that routinely brought about the young woman's smiles, which warmed Mak's heart.

Today though, seeing a bat-winged horse, its rider, and a real threat manifesting threat to the guests meant he had to act. "Serale. Welcome to the Crystal Gardens." A rather boisterous toucan, who decidedly shouldn't be outside waddled out of the underbrush towards Mak. The receptionist picked up the sassy creature, deposited it on his shoulder, and looked puzzled. "I don't rightly know if Kyia has a sister in Nexus, as far as I know she's got family up in Vortex and High Peaks though, for all that she never talks about them. Come to think of it, I do think she's spent time in Nexus. As for a similar location, I'd not be knowing... never been to Arium myself." He said with a smile, keeping a wary eye on the... creature that was decidedly not a horse for all it was rode in on.

"We've not finished the stable yet. So far, its just four walls and a roof. Artius Nagri is out there working on it now, so he might be able to house your animal. When its done, its going to hold thirty stalls or so. But I don't think hes anywhere near having stalls in. The doors work though, so you might be able to talk him into housing your... companion there for a brightening or so. It's up to him though, and I'm not sure but the construction might disturb him." Mak said, gesturing to a neat carriage sized path that headed off to the east towards a large building off to the side of the Gardens. It was indeed a barn, but at the current stage of construction, it resembled more of an enclosed arena. "You can take him up there and see if Artius is feeling reasonable. If they delayed his shipment of lumber, watch out for his temper. That'd be two days in a row." Mak said with a grin, then gestured waving young Trinny aside. She was about to join the group and reach for reins. Her eyes were on the wings, rather than the actual wide eyed and snorting personality of the animal. Mak spoke up. "Lass, if it doesn't look a century old, ask before you go taking reins. If they want you too they will offer them to you or look around for a groom to assist them. Remember that girl, or Artius will be after your hide." Mak said, his tone friendly but constructionally amused.

"When you get your beast settled, I can find you a seat for a meal, and a cabana if you'd like a good solid nights rest. It's warm enough for a swim out back if you'd like one, and the bars open until midnight. We're having a bit of a bondfire tomorrow night, a sort of bardic if your interested in tall tales and poetry." Mak offered, grinning in a friendly manner. Then he turned, and let Dego follow the stable girl Trinny on up to the half-finished barn to see what could be arranged. He was sure there'd be no problems. Though the stable wasn't done, Artius routinely settled animals there for the night, be they staff members mounts or guests. When Dego would query him, Artius would offer him a loose fenced off corner of the structure with lots of room for the Raslin, secure for the night. It'd be 10 gold crowns, fresh hay, water, and no chance the winged creature could get out. Unless he had any questions or concerns, he'd be free to wander back in for a meal and perhaps to negotiate a cabana for his stay.
