[A man in an old-fashioned suit is strolling through the courtyard, examining his surroundings. He appears confident, but a bit lost.]

So this is the place I've been looking for, is it? I can't say I see what the big fuss is about...

[Takes that in silently for a moment]

...Servant ranking above master? My, my, wouldn't that cause some fits back at the house. What exactly does that take, then? Getting a servant, I mean.

[gabutyra]

Anyone who's willing? You just need to write your names down in the book at the shrine and the master needs to give the servant a trinket to signify the bond.

[servicewithasmirk]

How very interesting. Anything else I should know about it?

[gabutyra]

Well, a servant can't have two masters. And a servant can't be a master to someone else if they already have a master-- unless they pay a lot of silver to make it happen.

[servicewithasmirk]

So there are some limitations, then. I suppose I'll just have to do some getting to know people.

[gabutyra]

Well, there's also the fact that. Someone could force you to be their servant. I mean, I haven't seen anyone do it but I'm sure there are people who would try just to get rank.

[servicewithasmirk]

[He looks rather alarmed at that prospect.]

Ah. Well, I appreciate your warning me.

[gabutyra]

You should watch out.

[servicewithasmirk]

I bloody well will look out. I didn't leave service just to end up right back in it again, unwilling.

[gabutyra]

Other than that, it's fun here!

[servicewithasmirk]

Fun, is it? We'll see about that.

So, King, seems you know your way around here well enough. How about a quick tour?

[gabutyra]

Sure, follow me!

You're going to end up staying in the Pawn/Knight dorms, but it's free to stay there and there's food in the kitchen. You don't need silver unless you want to buy back your personal goods or for other stuff to do around here. But basic necessities are free.

[servicewithasmirk]

Buy back my goods? Just what do you mean by that?

[gabutyra]

Court takes away all your things except the clothes on your back. You have to buy them back.

[servicewithasmirk]

[His eyes widen as he starts to frantically pat down his pockets.]

Dammit! Why didn't anyone warn me about that beforehand? Bloody useless...

[Runs a hand through his hair as he tries to calm down.]

[gabutyra]

Hey, hey, don't worry about it.

[ he's handing you twenty silver ]

There, that should be enough to get your stuff back.

[servicewithasmirk]

[...What]

Ah. Well... Thank you very much, King. How very kind of you.

[???]

[gabutyra]

Everyone needs to start somewhere!

[servicewithasmirk]

That they do. Well now, shall we continue our tour?

[gabutyra]

I'll show you the dorms first!

[ goes off

[servicewithasmirk]

I suppose that's as good a place as any to start.

[Follows along]

[gabutyra]

[ doo doo doo here we are at the dorms ]

Just grab a bed anywhere and you'll be good.

[servicewithasmirk]

[Looks around, dubiously]

Not much in the way of privacy, is there.

[gabutyra]

You can buy dividers!

[servicewithasmirk]

Well, thank goodness for that. Now it's sounding right luxurious.
