It's a dangerous business, going out your door.

WHO: Jimmy Novak and everyone.
WHAT: Orientation, changes, and wandering during breaks.
WHERE: Trailer #12 or various locations around the Carnival.
WHEN: The day after his arrival. (D33-ish.)
WARNINGS: None.




The first day on the new job was always overwhelming. So much information thrown at you that it was hard to keep track of it all. Trailer, clothes, kitchen, grounds.... It all blurred together into one giant mess of light and sound. It was better during the day, but that wasn't saying much. It was still a lot to take in.

And the new additions didn't make things any easier. The horns he could kind of live with (mostly by hiding them under a hat) but the ears were going to drive him bonkers. They twitched. Constantly. Picking up different things and giving him randomized surround sound, with a new focus point picked every three seconds or so. He was about ready to go grab a knit cap from somewhere just so the damned things would stay still. But all in all, he could deal. His face hadn't turned into a giant all-consuming maw, and he was still driving.

He was calling it a win.

Now he's showered, dressed, and stuffing the ears under a cap after all. The first day was his to get the lay of the grounds and stop by the kitchens to check in with Head Cook Babic. He starts off reminding himself to Keep an open mind. and that gets amended with And for the love of God, don't stare. shortly after seeing some of the transformations among his co-workers.

The cookhouse?

[Ahhh! He beams, and immediately begins trotting in a particular direction.] Follow me! It should not be far from here; many of us have our meals in there, so I, the man Gongenzaka, am quite familiar with its location!

[Actually, on that note...] Are you to be working there, perhaps?

[He did say he was worried about being late...]

Mm! Worry not; Koel is firm, but she is also fair, [Gongenzaka insists.] She may not even realize she has received a new hire yet! [he jokes-though, given the Ringmaster's tendencies, it's uncertain how serious or not the statement truly is.]

There is a particular door which employees use to enter...I, the man Gongenzaka, shall show you once there. [Otherwise you might end up wandering a REALLY enormous cafeteria, and no one wants that.]

It is the least I, the man Gongenzaka, can do for a new arrival! [he replies rather cheerfully. It's true however...there is only one real way to find out if Koel was notified and that is, well.

To go there.

He can at least offer a bit of support though.
] If she does not, I imagine it will if anything be a pleasant surprise; she has not had any others working with her for some time now, from what I, the man Gongenzaka, have heard.
