Who: Rhys and you!
When: D48-D49
Where: Various Locations
What: It's time for Rhys to make himself at home (or more likely whine that he's not the boss)
Warnings: Probably low but I'll update if anything happens
[day 48 - all around the carnival grounds - what have i gotten myself into?]
Rhys doesn't regret the decision. He doesn't regret taking a deal from some shady Ringmaster (and he hates that he'd never thought of that as a nickname for himself) to escape August and Vasquez and a bunch of killer robots that would have surely ended his life.
What he does regret is leaving Vaughn behind. Fiona and Sasha less so. But, there's still a sliver of sadness that he's here and they're not. Hopefully, whenever this whole thing ends, he'll go back and they'll forgive him.
(Though he seriously doubts that. They'll either be dead or they'll kill him.)
For the first little while, he wanders. He gets his shoes dusty (a development that makes him frown) and his hair wind blown but what else is there to do but figure things out? His lodgings, a trailer in a park surrounded by similar metallic bumps, isn't luxurious but it's not a hole in the ground.
He'll take it. He'll whine about it later.
[day 49 - anywhere that needs cleaning up around the carnival - where's a loader bot when you need one?]
Rhys regrets the decision.
As soon as he reports for work and someone slaps a mop into his hand, he regrets the decision. Janitor. A janitor again. Somewhere, Vasquez is probably laughing his ass off. The only good thing, Rhys guesses, is that whoever's in charge isn't Vasquez and won't be making him run all over the place to do menial things.
He still has to clean though and the grimace on his face as he starts mopping a dirty floor is evidence of what he thinks about that. But, he tells himself it won't be for very long. He tells himself that time will pass quickly.
He tells himself that he can drown himself in his mop bucket if it gets too bad.
Mopping isn't a hard think to do but he still mops over various people's shoes instead of telling them to move and he steps all over his own freshly cleaned floors more than once.
The third time he does that, he curses loudly and then looks around, hoping no one's heard that. He hasn't memorized all the rules but he's pretty sure cursing on the job is frowned upon.

all good!
Or spike to kill or whatever the heck they did to try and make sure Pandora never became overpopulated. Of course, those weren't actually skeleton monsters, just the various animals and creatures that roamed Pandora but they could have been skeleton monsters!
"I think that's their thing," Rhys says, shrugging. "Pandora's not a really exciting planet so they gotta have their fun."

He heaves a heavy sigh somehow from his lungless ribcage. It's a shame, neighbors are great, and stories from home would be nice too. But this is fine, Papyrus is master of looking on the bright side and encouraging others to do so too.
"And now you'll get to visit plenty of exciting planets! And if back there is so unexciting... Maybe the Carnival should visit them sometime. It sounds like they'd appreciate it."
Which reminds him, he's still got a job to do here. How's that floor drying so far? Looking shiny?

The floor didn't actually look too bad. For all his whining, Rhys had done a decent job even if it had taken him awhile to actually put enough strength into the job to make the floor look like it was more than just water pushed around.
"I've never been a janitor before though. So, I'm still learning."
It wasn't that hard to learn. Rhys was just glad that he'd left Hyperion before Vasquez could make him do a bunch of gross grout work.

"Wow! I'm impressed. You must be a natural. You might not even need to ask my help... But, I'm available if you want it. My radio is always on."
Papyrus isn't actually sure how the Ringmaster chooses their destinations, but a place where people are so bored that all they can think to do is fight seems like a place that could use a carnival. Maybe not their carnival, though.
