Meat – The Butcher

Welcome to “Meat” in Rumor City!

Greetings, esteemed carnivores, herbivores (though, let’s be honest, what are you even doing here?), and everyone who’s somewhere in-between! You’ve just stumbled upon the one, the only, “Meat” – your premier, one-stop butcher shop nestled right inside the safe zone and away from the unpatrolled area that houses the Fiery Pit. Why meander through the perilous unknown, dodging unspeakable horrors, when you can get the finest cuts right here suffering only the occasional aggressive sales pitch, or sexist asshole? 

The Roles:

1. The Meat Maestro (Owner): Grendelin (invenacant)

  • Prime Cut of Responsibilities:
    • Staff Stewardship: Keep an eye on the crew, ensuring they’re sharp as our knives and twice as engaging. You’ll roleplay as the guiding light, mentor, and occasional shoulder to cry on (just not near the meat, please).
    • Greet & Meat: When not overseeing the empire, you’re the charismatic face of Meat, welcoming customers with warmth.
    • Supply Sarge: Monitor our meat reserves with an eagle eye, and dispatch our Meat Voyagers for restocks if they’re idling around to prevent them from getting too bored. Think of it as sending out for more firewood, except it’s meat, and there’s a lot more screaming involved if they run into a fight.

2. The Cleaver Concierges (Customer Service Agents):

  • Slice of Life:
    • Sanitation: Keep the shop spick, span, and sanitized. We want the only thing infectious here to be your charm.
    • Sales: Engage with customers, offer them the finest cuts, and maybe a story or two about how that steak made its dramatic journey from the Fiery Pit to our display.
    • Roleplay outreach: Take the interaction outside – charm passersby, lure them in with tales of our meaty escapades, and maybe, just maybe, turn their day around with a perfectly aged pun.

3. The Meat Voyagers (Meat Runners):

  • Delivery:
    • Talk the walk: Venture into the Fiery Pit (don’t forget your flame-resistant everything), negotiate with whoever tends the bar there for the choicest cuts – be persuasive, be brave, or at the very least, be quick on your feet.
    • Haul the bulk: Bring back the bounty to Meat, where it’ll be celebrated, then sliced, diced, and priced.
    • Stir the pot: On your perilous trek back, make it a point to engage with every soul you encounter. Spread the legend of your journey, the mystique of how you got the meat even if you have to lie a little. Don’t forget to remind them of the location of our shop – They can avoid the same fate if they just stop by Meat instead of coming downtown.

Scaring the children who only drink milk anyway at this point is currently allowed (until the protesters roll up).

    Now that we know what to do when telling them the store name, we’re going to ask you a few questions first, answer them to your hearts’ content

—

QUESTION NUMBER 1!: There’s a giant gator in your kitchen, she talks to you in a way a normal human would, and seems to stand upright. How do you respond?:

QUESTION NUMBER 2!: Said Gator wishes for you to prepare a steak, what is the first thing that comes to mind?:

QUESTION NUMBER 3!: besides the gator parts, are you willing to be covered and or smell like meat for the duration of your employment?:

QUESTION NUMBER 4!: nearing the end we promise~. If you were to be confronted by a customer about meat related items will you be okay answering them? (We know people who work around something tend to get sick of the sight of it):

QUESTION NUMBER 5!: Last one, if you were asked to do the butcher thing and “Slay” a MIGHTY BEAST to then quarter and put into the shop, would you? (you may not be asked of this in the future but it is a curiosity):
