Aqua Springs ~ ART GALLERY OPEN! ~ Geezerville

[shadow_dragon_13]

Shadow thought about her question for a short moment, then answered, "I would attempt to understand the situation either through observations and or questioning. I'm told that I'm rather intimidating at times. If I were to encounter someone who wouldn't listen to me, then I would attempt to request assistance from another Guard. If non were available at the time, I would try to contain the situation and would proceed to ask the patron to leave immediately. If he did not, I would then be forced to escort him off the premises, preferably without physical force, but if required, I would not hesitate to physically remove him from the property. My goal would be, of course, to make sure no one gets hurt on my watch. I cant hold myself accountable for general accidents that happen in a resort like this, but no one will be allowed to cause anyone else pain or discomfort on my watch." He spoke calmly and clearly. This is how he tried to handle all situations and missions. It upset him when he had to resort to violent or more physical means during his missions.

Amy looked at Shadow and smiled brightly. "Wow... That was one of the best responses I could have asked for! That is exactly what you should do, Shadow. Afterward, you would need to report this to either Kits or I. Very good Shadow. As for any training, I'm sure Daniel could take care of that if you were hired. He's our head security guard. My recommendation, Shadow, is that you be hired. I will speak about this to Kits very soon and then I will let you know of our decision or if we want to have a more thorough interview. I simply ask that you fill this application out before you leave and put it on the information desk in the main building so that we know how to contact you. Thank you very much for coming and meeting with me, Shadow, for showing interest in this job. Of course you may call me if you have any questions of your own. My contact information is on the business cards up front on the information desk. It was so nice to meet you and get to talk with you, Shadow."

Amy held out her hand to Shadow with a bright smile.  

[shadow_dragon_13]

Shadow listened carefully and calmly. He nodded his head in a shallow bow when necessary to show that he was listening and that he understood. He then looked at her outstretched hand and pondered it for a moment, then smiled slightly and bowed respectfully, a torso bow of about 45 degrees. He took the application and gave it a quick glance, then spoke gently, "I wont be able to fill this all out. I don't have a phone, don't much care for them. I will give you the information of where I'm staying so that it wont be so hard this time to send a messenger to me. As far as my contacting you, I will most likely do it in person. I look forward to your decision, no mater what it be, and will see you again soon. Thank you for the job opportunity." He bowed and waited for Amy to conclude the conversation.  

[Cuwen]

Amy smiled and nodded. "It's alright. Just fill out as much as you can. Ironically, you're not the first person to not be able to fill out the application entirely, either. Several people who work here don't have cell phones, or even a telephone. Don't worry about that. Just write on there the best way to get a hold of you. If that involves sending someone to your house, like you mentioned, then you can put your address down. If a letter would be easier, just put your mailing address down. Sometimes that's different than the physical address. Thank you very much for meeting with me, Shadow, and I hope to see you again soon."

She smiled, nodded to him, gave him the application, and then headed back toward the lounge in the main building. When she saw Karrie napping on the couch with Thistle in his lap and Velcore's head resting by Karrie's hand, she smiled softly. She quietly approached them, all of them asleep by this point. She kissed Karrie's lips softly. She told him that it was time to head home, and they gathered up their family before heading out to spend some much-needed time together.

Shadow nodded then filled out what he could of the application right there on the front desk. When he was finished, he set it down on the desk and silently left to walk around the town for a bit.  

[shadow_dragon_13]

Shadow walked in silently and looked around. There didn't seem to be many people around. He decided he should scope out the resort and get himself familiar with it, in case he got the job. He walked around the entire resort carefully and observed everything he could in a day.  

[shadow_dragon_13]

Shadow walked around and made notice of potential hiding spots and escape routes. He made a mental note of the various obstacles and their locations with relevance within the resort. He didn't care if anyone saw him walking around for the next couple of days because it wouldn't matter. He decided that he would walk around the resort for the next few days, multiple times if necessary so that he wouldn't miss anything. He noticed some potential hazards for anyone that wasn't following the rules or trying to run from the authorities. He made note of them so he could control and guide the pursuit in the correct direction to avoid such hazards. He also noted certain locations that would be good choke points to trap a runner.

I wonder how they proceed to close off the ski and mountain portion for the spring, summer, and fall seasons. I wonder if they have ever had 'trespassers' on that section during the off seasons. I'm willing to bet that might be a hard place to control during these seasons.

He walked gently and silently. Anyone that was out and about, visiting the resort, would only be able to see him, occasionally. They wouldn't be able to hear him and sometimes wouldn't be able to see him. Sometimes he would stand in one spot and rotate thoughtfully and slowly around a pivot to witness his current surroundings. This was usually done in the 'center' of certain parts, sections, or areas of the resort. Others who saw him wouldn't know that he was specifically rotating at the 'center' of the 'zones'. They would just see a mysterious man in a trench coat looking around curiously, yet calmly.

He figured that no one would notice or mind if he did this through the day and night. He knew the pets wouldn't mind. They were most likely aware of his presence, but he was sure he wasn't making much noise for them, and he figured he probably had a specific scent that he hoped they would quickly get used to. He would only walk inside the buildings during the day and was extremely careful not to trigger the security that he observed during the day, in the night.

If he did end up triggering the security, then someone would come and complain to him and probably escort him from the property. He would cooperate with them and he figured his reasons would be somewhat acceptable. He also knew, that some authority might find his actions questionable, and wrong. But he was well prepared to handle the consequences of his actions calmly, as always.  

[Cuwen]

Amy had sent a messenger to Shadow's house yesterday to tell him that his application was accepted and that if he still wanted the job, they would all love to have him. She hoped she'd see him soon. She'd transfigure a few security guard outfits for him and give him the run down of the area if Daniel wasn't available to do so.

She also hoped to meet with both Shadow and Daniel at the same time to go over security measures, measures that would have to be updated and changed to accomadate the upcoming spring and summer months and the increase in crowds. She hoped Kits would be there, too, but frankly getting everyone together at the same time was nearly impossible. She'd take what she could get and catch the others up on what they missed.

Since it was raining outside, Amy couldn't work in the garden like she had planned to today, but she was able to start work on a fountain in the middle of the entrance area. She wanted a smaller indoor fountain with different plants that could go inside of it. She was helping to set the cement bricks in place now.  

[Faerie KatrinaZ]

(( *Does a flutterby and waves at Amy as she passes through* 4laugh ))  

[Cuwen]

{{Hi Faerie! biggrin Amy now has the necklace on that the fairies gave her, so the fairy dust will no longer bother her. smile I hope you come back soon to see the upcoming art exhibit and garden! biggrin }}  

[Faerie KatrinaZ]

(( Oh, I'll be around in one form or another. wink ))  

[shadow_dragon_13]

Shadow headed towards the buildings once it started to rain. He had walked about the resort about 15 times in the night. He could walk it blind fold, but that is no big feet since he could have done that without all the wandering he had done. He hoped one of the hiring ladies would catch him while he was there. It would be ineffective to send a messenger while he wasn't currently in his place for the last 36 hours, unless the messenger knew to find him at the resort. He highly doubted that would be the case since he didn't let anyone know he was going to be there.

He decided to sit in the middle of the lounge, on the floor, and meditate for a little while. He left a note to Amy that let her know it was ok for her to 'interrupt' his meditation.  

[shadow_dragon_13]

Without looking around, or getting up, he knew no one had been in late yesterday. He continued meditating, something he was very used to. He could do it days on end for a week or more. He was always practicing his meditation for it helped him survive and keep up on his skills.  

[Kits Rose]

*feeling a bit restless, Kits walks over to Aqua Springs. Since she'd been there early that morning as well, she didn't have any work to do at the moment. Going into the lounge, she saw a man sitting in the middle of the lounge on the floor with his eyes closed. She hadn't been spending very much time in the lounge lately, so she hadn't noticed him before. Walking up to the bar, she asked Tommy what was going on*

I'm not sure. He's been there since Thursday night. There's a note next to him that says it's all right for Amy to interrupt, but most of the staff's been giving him a pretty wide berth. *makes Kits a chocolate milk, even though she hadn't asked for one. By now, he knew what she was likely to want late at night* It's kind of creepy how he just sits there without moving. He hasn't done anything but sit there.

Huh... that's strange. *turns on her stool to look at the man* I think that's Shadow, the guy we hired for the security job. I wonder why he's just sitting there, though. confused *getting a piece of paper and a pen from Tommy, writes a note for Shadow, telling him to go to the security office and fill out the form for his availability and preffered shifts. Then, he could work out the best schedules with Daniel and the other two guards. She left the note next to his other one, not wanting to bother him, being a little creeped out by his stillness herself. sweatdrop Then, she returned to her seat and chatted with Tommy while she drank her chocolate milk*  

[shadow_dragon_13]

While Shadow meditated, he was unaware of how still he sat. He was more aware of what was going on around him. He found it slightly amusing how much room the workers were giving him. He was aware of the woman placing a note by him but he didn't want to startle her, so he waited till she was back at her seat to open his eyes. He snapped his neck with a quick sudden shake then picked up the note. He read it silently, then stood up silently. He walked over to the woman, "Thank you." He spoke softly so as to not alarm her. "Could you point me in the direction of the security office. I didn't see one in my personal self-tours of this place." He bowed politely and waited.
