[SP-F1] Earning a Living (Takuto)

[Takuto 0]

Takuto felt he needed something to do on his free time, something he felt he would be good at. Takuto thought for a long while leaning against a wall in th merchant square of the starter city. He decided to get a job as a tailor. He could make things almost like he did in the real world with his mother at home. Takuto looked through the Beta tester handbook and found a place to start looking into a tailoring job.

When Takuto arrived at the NPC shop that would help him obtain the rank of a tailor he thought of it as a regular shop. Nothing special about it except the spool and needle emblem on the galery window that was an odd sight it wasn't like the usual spools you saw on tailor shops it had some engraved righting on it's side. Takuto turned his head and read it,"The threads of life and death may they weave your everlasting future". Takuto thought about the Hercules story of the wicked lady's that spun the thread then cut it when you died or were about to die. Takuto took a big gulp and walked in to the store.

The air had a fresh smell of leather. The store was filled with tanning racks and sewing machines, spools of all kinds of colors, and so many needles they should call it a hay in a needle stack. Takuto looked over to the NPC he was at a tanning rack working a piece of leather. At Takuto's approach he began his programmed line. "Welcome to the Threads of Destiny", th NPC burst with joyous tones," How may I help you Mr.... ?" a box appeared in front of Takuto it siad put player name here. Takuto typed his name and the NPC Finished his sentence. "Takuto!", he boomed. " So Takuto how may I help you?", he asked as another box appeared it was a tutorial over how to speak to NPC's Takuto pressed the cancel button and began speaking," Can you teach me how to become a tailor?"

The tailor stood to face Takuto,"That will cost you 500 col", the NPC said with a smile. Takuto countd his money," 698 col", he read the inventory screen. He hit accept pay and the NPC continued,"okay so you will need these", he gave Takuto a beginner's set of tailoring clothes and items like a needle and a leather punch with hammer. Takuto looked at the Tailor he wanted to do something else while he was here. " Can I see your stock?", Takuto asked with a small amount of hope.

Takuto had been looking for something to remind him of home in this game. He wante soomething he could identify himself with, and he found it. The item that Takuto was searching for was a pair of western styled sqaure, steel toed boots(or what looked like them). The boots were a dark brown leather with light blue trim. takuto looked at the price... 116 col,Takuto pressed the buy button in his HUD and equiped the boots tey felt new and needed to be broken in, but Takuto felt llike he was home when he put them on. "When do I start?", Takuto asked as he looked at his new boots.

The Tailor looked at Takuto with an old cheesy grin," Tomarrow. As soon as you can start.", the Tailor replied.

Takuto left the shop waving at the NPC as he left.

On Takuto's walk back to the inn he began sight see-ing the village seemed more alive at night.

Hm... well this place is amazing Takuto thought to himself.

Takuto got to the front of the inn and opened the door. The inn was filled with NPC's and Players alike. Takuto didn't feel like trying to conversate with anyone. So instead he simply walked over to the bar and asked for a room.

10 kol for one night the inn keep said. Takuto pressed pay on the box and turned to walk up the stairs.

As Takuto reached the top of the stairs he saw a few people in the hall some giving in to impulses in the game and having relationships with total strangers. Takuto shook his head in disappointment and opened his room.

He was so tired he just flopped onto the bed opened up his menu and unequiped his armor. He then put on his ight clothes and went to sleep.
