Rose starts work
Date: April 11, 2003
Status: Public - Complete
Setting: The hallways
Summary: Rose starts working by cleaning the hallways
Her first night here hadn't been too bad and Rose reckoned she should start earning money. So she used the existing supplies, namely a bucket with water and a cleaning solution and a mop, to scrub the hallway floors, starting on the ground floor and moving upstairs. She wanted to do this properly. No use in getting fired her first day...

This would be more difficult than with Mary, it seemed.

The way she was taking the nature of the inhabitants in stride, he had some doubts about her being an average human. If she was hiding some ability or family relationship that might help him in his plans, he was going to find out about it sooner or later. Spending some time with her would be a start.
And if she was just a normal human after all?
Well, in that case she'd provide some entertainmend and fun, once she stopped being so apprehensive of him. They all did, sooner or later.

"I much prefer woods. Or grass under my feet. The bigger the town the less I like it.
And I've never played a game of dice or cards."
Cards would only get chewed on on the farm and dice might be swalloed by a curious cub after all...

"Sure, why not."
She always liked learning new things and maybe these games were a unsuspicious way to occupy herself when she wasn't working.
"And when I walked through that town, Lower Tadfield, it still stank. Not as bad as London but not pleasant either."

He fumbled in his pocket for a set of dice. "Here's the rules. You place a bet. Each of the players throws the dice, the one getting the highest number wins. Or you can determine a number in advance, and the one getting closest wins. Or you throw a set of five dice, not two, and different combinations win. That's like - number pairs are lowest, then three same numbers. A straight is what you call a series of numbers counting up. So - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Then there's full house - that's three of one number and two of another. Four of one number is the second most valuable, and five of a number is the ultimate winner."

Rose looked at the dice and listened to Loki. There were people who sat together betting on what results they would get rolling the dice? Strange idea. But she would need something to do when she wasn't working. Something that didn't sream 'wer' at the top of its lungs. So maybe a game of dice was a good idea.
"How do you normally play, with two or with five dice?" she asked Loki.

He gave her his most winning smile, the one that had charmed Sister Mary so nicely.

"I don't know this game yet, but maybe it's more interesting with five dice? I'd like to try it that way..."
