《Wayfinder》Day 16: Ratcatchers in Belrond

“Get out of the tub.”
El’s eyes burst open.
“You fell asleep. Drigs closed hours ago. You should probably get dressed and ready for whatever work you do for Arkin.” Erin looked down at El with her hands on her hips.
“You mind giving me a moment?” El asks.
“Ugh,” Erin huffs as she turns around, “your modesty isn’t endearing when I have work to do.”
“I should have plenty of time. I’m working the mill today so there isn’t much purpose in being early.” El pulls himself up out of the bath.
“So, I am working right now.” Erin’s reply is blatant.
“Well, I mean, I’ll help you open. Let me clean this bath for you.”
“What? Why would you do that?” Erin turns to look El in the eyes.
El lets out a squeak as he quickly covers his manhood. Erin rolls her eyes.
“Clean the bathroom, I’ll have some food cooked up for you before you go.” She walks towards the door.
“Okay.” El sighs as he pulls on his trousers.
The field hand cleans the room top to bottom, puts the rest of his clothes on, and then walks out to the tavern. He can smell freshly cooked eggs and his mouth starts to water.
“Come on. Get some food before you head out.” Erin waves El over to the bar.
He sits across from her and digs into the meal. There’s some old bread with it, but the meal tastes delicious nonetheless. Erin leans over the bar, her blouse falling off one shoulder, as she makes eye contact with El.
“How much time do you have before work?” She asks slyly.
A rooster caws in the distance.
“Shit, that's the wake-up call. I have to go, thanks for the meal!” El leans forward and hugs Erin. “Thanks again.”

The field hand runs out the door leaving Erin behind the bar. The barmaid scowls slightly having been left alone for another shitty day of work in the customer service industry. She sighs and rests her head on the bar having given up on El for now.
El heads to the mill across town with haste. It's work that Arkin showed him how to do years ago. El feels like he has more energy now to do more work.

El heads to the smith and pays forty-three gold to have his shovel modified. He wants the handle to be extended, forged into a longsword, and sheathed. The base price of a longsword is only 15 gold, though the smith will have to make new molds, experiment with some different techniques, and possibly go through an iteration or two before reaching a final product. Supplying the shovel is enough raw materials for a two gold discount on what would be forty-five. The smith says that El should be able to pick it up tomorrow after his work is done.
El heads back out to the Warren to help Kib.

City of Champions Online
Having found the tragic truth that an art degree is worth less than the paper it is printed on, Jacquelyn Jones is frustrated with her dead end work as a graphic designer for a marketing firm, finding new ways to try and convince people that this week's 50 cent off sale is actually worth driving to the store. She's tried other VRMMORPGs, but they've all been fantasy-based, with a couple sci-fi games thrown in. But she wants something more, something Super. Superhero VRMMOs have had a... subpar reception in the past, in part due to the fact that the nature of most MMOs makes for fairly unheroic tales. After the couple hundredth time blasting the same group of mooks from the same faction on the same street corner of the same city, using the same powerset as everyone else because you only have a few options, it is hard to think of yourself as a hero anymore. But then she heard about City of Champions Online. For the first time, a developer partnered with a tabletop RPG maker to use their system to create a VRMMORPG, and it was one of the systems designed to be used with superhero games! And despite the name, there was no getting stuck in the same city as all the other players. The game world was a detailed replica of the real world, down to having some of the same shops and restaurants in town. She could be whoever she wanted, whatever she wanted. Now, she just has to find a way to become the heroine she's always wanted to be.

A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.
