Oh dear... It seems as though I have missed a few days of work? I never even signed up for a job! I don't even know what this... 'waiter' job is. Do you weigh things? Is that what I'm to do? It seems silly to do that at an eating establishment of all things.

*Yes, everyone, the poor ex-templar is rather confused.*This world gets stranger and ( Read more... )

[Here, have an awkward, cheerful derp who wants try to help clear the confusion.]

T-That happened to me as well; just got a call earlier saying they would fire me if I didn't turn up tomorrow for work. It seems like everyone is just given a job when they get here. And, uh, a waiter takes food orders from customers and gives them to the chef, and then serves the food to the customers when it's ready...That's what the old books said anyway...

And I can understand the feeling...everything is so different from home...[Read 'different' as 'really bloody ancient'.]

Everyone gets a job hmm? That's understandable. We have to get food on the table somehow. But that doesn't seem too bad.

Old... book? Where exactly are you from?

evers_hacker July 31 2010, 17:42:32 UTC

A-Ah, it's kinda complicated since we aren't from the same place since there is no place called, um, Fereldan where I'm from. But where I'm from it's very far into the future where we don't really use books anymore. [Because all the libraries where blown up, along with everything else.]

pickedontemplar July 31 2010, 17:47:55 UTC

No one uses books? But that's where history, facts, and many other things come from! How can you just... not use them?!

evers_hacker July 31 2010, 17:51:21 UTC

Because most are kinda...unreadable and we have technology that can be used to store history and facts. There are a few books here and there that are salvageable but most are just...not.

pickedontemplar July 31 2010, 17:57:32 UTC

That's... That's terrible.

evers_hacker July 31 2010, 18:03:15 UTC

I guess it is, there's still a lot I don't even know about my own home. But, if there is no history then we make one for the future generations, right? [Sounds totally optimistic and cheerful.]

pickedontemplar July 31 2010, 18:09:27 UTC

You are absolutely right. *A small smile in his voice*

How rude of me! I'm Alistair, by the way.

evers_hacker July 31 2010, 18:13:13 UTC

It's nice to meet you Alistair, I'm April!

pickedontemplar July 31 2010, 18:26:53 UTC

How long have you been here, April?

evers_hacker July 31 2010, 18:29:30 UTC

Umm...for nearly a week, I think.

What about you, Alistair?

pickedontemplar July 31 2010, 21:33:14 UTC

About the same actually! I'm still trying to get used to everything. I hope you're adjusting alright.

evers_hacker July 31 2010, 21:46:37 UTC

I'm getting there, but I'm from 300 or so years in the future from this time period, so it's just trying to get used to being in a place where everything feels so ancient. And, um, thank you for your concern...I take it all this technology and everything else is very new to you?
