She'd finally made it. The forests had seemed never ending, but as she stepped into the city of Stokbon, Kyra couldn't help but look around in marvel. She'd heard tale of the city, of how realistic, how overwhelming it could be. She'd considered that just people who'd never experienced virtual reality, trying to impress upon her the concept of how real the game could be.
Her gaze wandered over the area, seeing a variety of humanoids moving throughout the street - often times people stopping at shop stalls, or other areas in order to complete whatever it was they were doing. Kyra's ears pinned down against her head as the noise of it all suddenly reached her, the overwhelming sound of a city suddenly becoming a reality.
I hadn't thought about how loud it would be... She instantly regretted her position. She knew that she would get used to it in time, but as she held her head, shaking slightly in response to the sound, she wanted nothing more but to run back into the forest, to disappear from all the noise and pain it brought.
A hand rested itself on her shoulder, causing her to jump in fear as she turned to see what appeared to be an older man smiling down at her. He seemed patient, waiting for her to collect herself before speaking aloud.
"Would you happen to be looking for some work? If so, I've got a small convoy...well, a carriage....that needs a guard. It pays alright, but it could be dangerous if we run into anything."
Kyra seemed frozen in place for a second as she considered the situation. She was sure that money was always good to have, but she'd only just arrived, and she wasn't sure of her bearings yet. Still, work was work, and in a roleplaying game, you needed work.
Her tail flicked slightly as she shifted her gaze back around her, unsure of her decision, but not willing to give in to doubt now. She'd taken the job, and now there was - likely - no backing out.
"I should've given them more credit. This place is incredible. I'm going to...have to look around. A lot. This is going to take forever to explore!"

"Sure...I guess I could use the work. Although, I'm not used to being a caravan guard...not that I don't think I can do it! Err...lead the way!"
