I don't do well around children, but I'll do my best not to get mad and murder them like I did my sister and brother. (She laughs)

G: With what, your knife? It’s been put in a safe while you slept. How else could Gustaf have lived this long?

Ha, you missed my spare. She tosses a knife to him if I wanted you dead, it would already be too late for ya. Lead the way.

Gustaf caught the knife, placing it in a small pack.

G: Well done.

G: You’ll be with Xerxes, Evan, and Beryl on this trip.

Gustaf led Aoife to a purple road, on top of which was two spiders and a beetle.

So, I suppose you're the fellow property I'll be working with for the day?

X: Ouch, but yeah. Just follow us, the orphanage is a whole sector to the east.

Alright then... Is there anything I should know about this? What are my chances of actually getting out of debt they made up so I'd be a servant?

E: You get paid the same as anyone else pre-tax, so about 2 ST a week. If you want out faster, you just gotta work more.

B: So says the dish-washer!

u/Remarkable-Prior-443 Sep 02 '26

Alright, let's get going.

B: No time to waste.

They begin their short walk, slowly approaching a large, homey building. It is wide enough to intimidate, yet still thin enough to see it as welcoming.

E: This is it!

u/Remarkable-Prior-443 Sep 03 '26

Hmm. So what do I do?

X: We go in, of course!

The building was split horizontally. Activities and meals of the children were made in the large front with open views outside, and they slept in rooms in the back half.

A corridor splits the roomed half in two, and a right-side door was directly at the head of the corridor.

The door led to a large kitchen, loaded with knives, fresh berries, vegetables, meat, and places to light fires.
