[Console | Video] Casting a Net

[drinkuntilidie]

[Kevas tires of camping around the outskirts of the city. Tough as a troll might be, he's a jungle troll. All this cold and drizzle eats at him. He wants no more of it. Time to find a place for him to call his own for a while. First thing's first though, he needs money.]

Not sure how to go about dis other den just sayin' it, but I be needin' money and a place to stay. Now don't go thinkin' I be wantin' handouts cause I don't. Last thing I be wantin' is to be in some mon's debt. I be wantin' to work for my stay.

[Kevas tries his best to appear professional but it feels weird going about finding work this way. In Azeroth finding mercenary work is as easy as stepping into town, here not so much.]

I be a mercenary, former soldier, and somethin' of a wanderer.

[He doesn't like using the term 'adventurer'. It sounds too heroic. Kevas knows he's no hero.]

If any mons be needin' protection, a bodyguard, or help with gang problems I be willin' to offer my services for some steady pay. If dere be other services ya be needin' den give me da details and I'll talk to ya.

[After his talk at the Welcome Center he's trying real hard to avoid the 'kill for money' part of his job. Murder might not be a big deal to him but that seems to be a big no no in this place. Last thing he wants right now is a bad reputation. Then he won't get anywhere.

Unless someone wants to pay him extremely well.]

Also, I be wantin' speak with a Pepper Pots or Bakura about some kind of uh...police force?

[The way he says it makes it clear he's not too sure what that is.]

As long as ya ain't be military, and as long as ya be offerin' a fair price, I'd like to talk with some mon about dat.

Jim. We don't know each other.

[ He doesn't yet know if this is another one from Hydra or an affiliate, hiding in plain sight. He doesn't want to take the chance. ]

Where are you from?

[drinkuntilidie]

I barely know any mon here so dat ain't exactly be a shocker.

[And of the people he has spoken to he doesn't even have most of their names.]

From Azeroth. Ya ain't ever head of it. I can guarantee ya dat.

[Unless there's some other inhabitants of his home running around here but he doubts it. Someone would have noticed him by now.]

[dislocked]

Why's that?

[drinkuntilidie]

Let me answer dat question with another question.

[Kevas takes off his hat and leans close to the monitor so whoever he's talking to can get a real good look at him.]

Have ya ever seen anythin' dat be lookin' like me?

[So far no one else has. At this point he'll be surprised if anyone recognizes a jungle troll.]

[dislocked]

[ Bucky stares at him -- no, he's right. He's never seen anything quite like this... person? Thing? before. ]

No. [ Azeroth, he said? ] What world is that from?

[drinkuntilidie]

[Kevas settles his hat back on his head with a smile.]

Already told ya mon. I be from Azeroth. Yar really be needin' to clean dat wax outta ya ears.

[dislocked]

So that's a world, not a country.

[drinkuntilidie]

Dere ya go, now ya be catchin' up. So my question be why ya interested in where I be from?

[dislocked]

No real reason. Do you know this place called Earth?

[drinkuntilidie]

Ain't ever heard of it, but I only ever seen three. Not like I be knowin' how many be out dere.

[While that might sound like an accomplishment, nearly everyone he knows on Azeroth has taken a trip through the Dark Portal.]

[dislocked]

Three? You're a space explorer of some sort, too?

[drinkuntilidie]

Space?

[Sorry bro he's got no idea what you're talking about there.]

Don't know what ya be meanin'. I've walked through da Dark Portal. Seen da world dey call da Outland.

[And learned a thing or two about other worlds while he was there.]

Dis be da third I've seen, except I didn't walk through no portal to get here.

[dislocked]

[ Man, that's weird. ]

How did you end up here?

[drinkuntilidie]

Same way everyone else did I figure. I was home and den I just kinda showed up here.
