First Downtime: Get a Job, Girl!

by Karinya Necravine

After careful review of her personal finances, Karinya has had to finally admit to herself that though she carries with her the life experience of a noble, she no longer carries the resources, particularly gold. After much careful thought (and deciding she needs to get away from her roommate's incessant chanting and proselytizing), Karinya decides to find a job. Ugh, the horror of it all. Just like a commoner.
 
Karinya decides to seek a job with a local undertaker. Dead bodies are essentially perfume to her at this point, which she is slowly accepting as a fact of life. She is willing to build coffins, dig graves, move heavy gravestones, weed graveyards, any of the dirty, heavy stuff. She secretly hopes to procure a nice coffin to take home for a bed, but of course, her main priority is making a few coins.
 
In the event that there are no undertakers seeking hired help, Karinya's backup plan is to knock on business doors and simply ask if any help is needed. With all these people dying as of late, there has to be an opening somewhere!
