The Runner's Society

[GoblinFae]

ONE MORE question xD Do we service off-continent regions such as the isles? I believe that could potentially make things difficult. We cannot walk on water after all ;) Perhaps we could have branches or outposts set up?

[Zane]

there is a Runner's office on Thanatos but not Yoreiq. the runners have a lovely group of NCP sailers that they use for travel to Thanatos...unless of course someone wants to make the sailors...anywho I should probably put where all 24 offices are shouldn't I?

[GoblinFae]

^.^ That would be an excellent idea! Sorry to make more work. You know you love me!

[Winters-Feather]

Yeah, it wouldn't make sense to have one on Yoreiq. If there is to be one on Thanatos, it probably would be at the port. So far, though, this all sounds pretty terrific.

[Zane]

so I cannot for the life of me remember where I wanted to put the 24th office...so for now we have 23 :D

Also...

anyone wanna make a seal for TRS? I suck at visual art

[Dreamwolf]

Does it matter what the design is? I could something temporary until someone gets a better one. like this?

[Zane]

I like the running man silhouette but perhaps use TRS instead of the full name? Otherwise.............

I LOVE IT!!! <3<3<3

[Dreamwolf]

Can do!

[GoblinFae]

Also perhaps charge could be more for mainland to Islands while between islands is the same as international?

[Dreamwolf]

Like this?

[Zane]

yep that works...I'll add it to the top in a little bit

[Dreamwolf]

I'll keep my eytes open for a courier one xp I think that would look better, but I couldnt find one.

[Zane]

Nope it wasn't on Yoreiq because I told myself that it would be impractical because it take on average 3 months to get there, Yoreiq is a "sharing" community so there is no money and most everyone on Yoreiq is illiterate.

Money has been updated

right, that's what i figured, too. plus a lot of the people there have -wings-.
However, I know this is really nitpicky, but do the runners carry word-of-mouth messages, or write letters for people? Not everybody that needs to send a message can write.

As for characters, sorry if the app is taking a while. I -should- be able to post it by the end of this week ><

[GoblinFae]

You can pay to have a message written for you pr it memorized

[Zane]

Yep like Fae said you can pay to have it written for you or pay more to have it memorized. It's in the paragraph under the rates

[GoblinFae]

Can the runners get time off? I'm sure of course once in a while there will be injuries due to the nature of their journeys but are others possible? As soon as I have my fabulous calibrator look my character over, she will be up and ready to run, literally ;)

[Zane]

Okay so. First and second year runners are normally with a blue sleeve, at the most there will be two beginner red sleeves with a blue sleeve so when the blue sleeve is on break so are the red sleeves (s)he is charged with. From a runner's third year and onward they get as many days off a month as they have been serving TRS. After a runner becomes a blue sleeve they are mainly doing international runs carrying letter sacks and paperwork to other offices. Before they start the run they are given a target time to get there (From Arca to Ketra the average target is fifteen days) any time they arrive ahead of the target is paid vacation. If they arrive after the target they have a few days to recover then they get back to work. Otherwise. A runner can request time off or the opposite and work on an off day. House Keepers are the unlucky ones. If they run an office by themselves they don't get days off though they get the pre and post office hours to themselves (noon to an hour after sunset) the offices have water clocks in them to keep time.

Please don't ask me to add this to the top I have no idea where I would put it and its a massive first post as it is (thank you JelloxTime for pointing that out to me)

[GoblinFae]

She's done! ^.^ Meet Jypsei

[Zane]

WELCOME TO TRS FAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you want we can do a thread for Scipio and Jypsei, she is a second year Red Sleeve so it wouldn't be unlikely
