[open] april influence jobs

Who: Ren Suzugamori and you!
When: Early April
Where: The ports and wherever food distribution is happening
What: Influence jobs (Sharing is Caring and Rumour Has It) + catchall if anyone wants to plot anything else
Warnings: None right now, will update if they become relevant


[a: sharing is caring]

[Ren might have been there to save the guild's workers when the power plant exploded, but he's noticed a very disappointing shift in the attitudes of the landens this month, and it's making him very reluctant to be taking their side on anything right now. Particularly when the situation of the Blood in the city's slums is well-known at this point, and people are still turning a blind eye.

Diplomacy has always been a strong point of his, though, as has been identifying the weakest links. As such, in one of the food distribution areas where guildworkers are offering food out primarily to landens while harangued-looking Blood lurk in the background in hopes of getting a chance at it, he might be caught in the midst of sweet-talking them around to his side of things.]


...there wouldn't even be this much to offer around without that gift from last month, would there? To just keep that all for yourself seems like it's just taking while giving nothing back...

[And congratulations, random Stranger, you're getting dragged into this conversation too once Ren turns his head to offer you a smile and a prompt:] Isn't that right?

[b: rumour has it]

[While heavy lifting is definitely not Ren's strong point, the whole "dawn training" business that's been insisted on while he lives with the court has definitely done a little bit for his strength and stamina by this point. As such, while he still doesn't like hard work, the offer of information from the sailors is a little too hard to resist.

That said, lifting crates by himself is not quite as easy as he expected it to be, and as soon as he spots any other Strangers hanging around the port area, he'll lean his crate against something briefly to wave a hand.]
Hey, hey, sorry to ask, but could you help me with this? It's kind of awkward to carry when I can't see where I'm going...

[It's definitely big enough to be obscuring his sight, and there's a lot of rope and net and such like here to potentially trip over.]

[[If you want to plot something else (potentially with dawn training or Ren trying to train his craft up a little bit before something else nasty happens), feel free to hit me up by PM or at [plurk.com profile] reviseleviathan!]]

[ Piper can tell that the sour one really isn't happy with how this is going, but he's willing to go along because the other landen are. Besides, the steady pressure and redirection Ren is applying seems to be working, and he's not being given a chance to try and spoil things. She can only try to keep encouraging the good choices. ]

And it shouldn't be so bad yet that people won't be able to give anything. [ Piper gives the landen an encouraging smile. ] Plus, it's only fair that you get something in return for all your work. I've been bartering working for people when I can't afford something here. It's been working out pretty well so far.
