JOB ROLES

The Owner: Murdock Serpentine
This is the person who runs the operations if the company, and owns it, making sure the money is divided out equally and fairly to his employees. They also look over what their couriers are being hired to do, replying with a yes or no to if they should take the job or not.

Courier:
These are the people who deliver the letters to the locations, or people they are required to find, at speed I might add, in order for customer satisfaction. They also are the people to hand out newsletters, and post whatever is required to others (including ads as well).

Crier:
These are the people who call out the latest news to the local people going by on their day to day if they don't read their newsletter. They usually do this in the most populated areas they can such as a tavern, or the Emporium.

Newsletter Creator:
These are the people who are more artistic than all that speedy running stuff. They are the creators of the newsletter which will be distributed to the public, featuring a Dear Deirdre, a Horoscope section, advertisements, but most importantly news from the Archipelago and the rest of Aloria.

Protector:
Sometimes other, more nefarious forces will want to take/steal the item we are trying to deliver, and these fast fellows are there to hop in and keep our couriers and the precious items they are taking with them safe. These protectors come into play when delivering sensitive or valuable items, or when the couriers are going into dangerous areas.

OOC NOTE

The reason I created this guild is because I always wondered where all these random IC Couriers were coming from with the Noble Families, Charters, and people constantly having them appear to deliver them news. What if someone actually did it as a character? And what if we didn't just work for the Charters, Church, Nobilities, and Groups, but also the Gangs and Slum-Folk as well? Well here we are, and here we will be...unless nobody joins

IC Letter to the Owner (with money enclosed):

Spoiler: A neatly written letter in golden ink, placed inside the envelope is a full seventy regals.

To whom ever this reaches,

Good day to you, I am writing to acquire one of your employees under my command. I'd like a full time Courier to be able to send letters directly from my office and place of business The Dove's Sanctuary, as to not inconvenience myself any further with attempting to deliver them myself.

Sincerely, Phaden Decuiel Howlester

Position Wanted: Crier & Newletter Creator. (I can do graphics like the cupcake ads in Fongs newspaper)
How well do you roleplay: Scale of 1-10. 10 being Monmarty, I'll give myself a 6. I could be braver in getting into other peoples conflict. My player apps personalities are more than a schtick and a feeling, so sometimes I forget some aspects of my character and that feels weird and I'll want to forfeit inside. Overall I feel out of place and I think that messes with my roleplay. Oh you want good things too? I take initiative -no awkward silences with me- and I have quirky characters. I also just finished my app for you.
How much are you on Massive: Scale of 1-10 I'm online as much as I can or not at all. 6.
IC Letter to the Owner:

Spoiler: Murdock Serpentine

A letter with Murdock Serpentine's name was on the front in cursive, with a wax seal with a few dwarven symbols on it. If you knew how to read dwarven, it would read "Silly name".

Let's cut to the good parts, like your name suggests. My name is Mallen-Rue Hawthorne, none nearly as mysterious as yours. But may you excuse my wonderful nature, I'd be good to work with you in your rather fast snake company as the Crier and Newsletter Creator. I can fill in as a courier but my feet aren't 'like the wind' as you'd prefer. I have great, as you'd say unnecessary, knowledge on how printers work. The plates for inking advertisements shouldn't be a problem, and I've got my personal set of fonts if you'd like to use them.

Again, Mallen Hawthorne.
​

I hope you don't know dwarven. I might've gone overboard.

Murdock looked over the notice, smiling. His first employee perhaps? Either way he quickly penned down his letter and sent it back himself.
Dear Ms Mallen Hawthorne,
It is excellent that you wish to join us for two different jobs at once! This takes initiative and intelligence, but most importantly initiative and a good working attitude. I would love to see some of your designs for the newsletter in a meeting within the park at your earliest convenience. Also, if you might, could you help advertise this brave new company to friends and fellows you believe to be interested in this line of work? It would help earn pay and get more couriers out on time.
Kind Regards
Murdock Serpentine
PS: I may not be able to read dwarvern, but I have a few friends who do.

((This basically means your accepted, however, an IC meeting will be required when you are free to do so.))

Eyed over the post, stroking his black beard, his company was a new one after all. Either way he penned a letter back, and sent it over himself.
Dear Ms Howlester
Thank you so much for your patronage to my company, however I am afraid we are a new company at most at this point in time, BUT I will endeavour to find someone to join up as a courier so I can send them your way post haste! If you wish I could also send the money back as well, until we are ready to get a runner on the ground and moving right along to you.
Kind Regards
Murdock Serpentine
PS: I love the look of the Dove's Sanctuary. Keep up the good work My Lady.

Spoiler: A letter in dull black ink, not as professional as before. Were there specks of salt here..?

Sir Serpentine

Keep the coin, send me one when you of course have such available. If you're unable to send me someone then of course send said money back. I only hope your eyes aren't as blind to send me a foul employee as they were to mistake me for a woman.
