Welcome to Gaia! ::

Being a greeter seemed as if it would be easy enough at Thias followed Rook into the rather too shiny and rather too modern looking building with too many things that had glass that he was sure to break if he wasn’t too careful. So far he had been rather lucky when it came to not breaking his phone, he half expected to at some point shattered the screen entirely by mistake. It wasn’t the same as driving a car, those he felt were rather sturdy and could at least handle if he made a little bit of a mess up. Nevertheless he went ahead and followed him in and took his position at the front of the store a pleasant smile waited on his lips for the first person he would be dealing with. One customer came in and their eyes glanced over a rook, almost causing a hiss to sound in the back of Thias’s throat. Instead he swallowed it as the next customer came in giving a grim look despite the most pleasant smile that he gave him in return.

“Hello and welcome, how may I help you?” It was polite of course however the human did not seem to be rather thrilled as it let a scowl now cross his lips. Before Thias could get any other word out the human snapped at him telling him what poor of a job he was doing, not to mention question what sort of purpose did he even have standing at the door anyway it wasn’t as if they needed someone to say hello every time he entered the building. Words were lost on his lips as all Thias could do was stand there and listen to everything the human had to say to him, it was infuriating however he kept the same pleasant look instead of lunging and strangling him to death. Eventually a technician came over and ushered the human away giving Thias a break from being bereted.

At least Rook seemed to be handling himself rather well when it came to the greeting position Thias thought as he shuffled his feet a little more hoping that maybe he would be a little more unnoticed at the front of the store as others slowly started to file in around lunch time. It seemed that a lot of people liked to come on their lunch break. Not that Thias should have been too surprised about, it was easy to just swing by drop off what they needed too or just browse the new things while on break. What he hadn’t entirely expected was for a customer who lingered a little too long at the door holding a pad of paper in his hand. After a few minutes of watching him just look back and forth Thias made his way over to him and gave the best smile he could to him.

“Hello, what can I do to help you sir?” The customer gave a little jump as if startled that someone had noticed him before holding out the pad of paper.

“Can you sign it?” That earned him a rather confused look before Thias took the pad and with large looping script signed his name. The paper looked harmless enough, it was just the regular ruled paper with nothing else on it.

“Tttt..tt..hhankk yoouu.” The man replied before rocking back and forth on his feet. “Do..do you think I can get..others to sign?” Thias looked around, everyone else was busy, it was the lunch hour and there was no way he wanted to hang out with this guy until then. After a few minutes he finally managed to convince the man to leave to come back in the morning if he wanted other people to sign. Why did he get so unlucky as a greeter?
