To Earthland & Beyond!(Job/Solo)

Rei sat up and yawned while she rubbed her sleepy eyes. It had been a very long time since she had slept in a comfortable bed and in peace. It was a strange and sudden change of lifestyle and she hadn't quite been ready for it. Here she was though, in a little apartment and getting up super early to go to the port to get her passport. The newspaper had said that the port was opening up documentation for civilians to achieve passports to go outside the borders of Fiore: Rei knew she needed to get her passport if she wished to be able to travel unhindered. Chances were that the port would be filled with people though, so Rei had set an alarm to get up early to beat the numbers.

Rei rubbed her eyes as she got out of bed and went over to the bathroom. She got a shower and brushed her teeth and then got dressed in her favorite attire: her first real set of clothes. A black lace dress with white stockings and soft black shoes without heels. She grabbed her black umbrella as she left the apartment and then locked it behind her. She walked a short distance, turned a corner around the block and instantly her motivation left her. She slumped her shoulders slightly as she saw the long line of people backed up from the port. She sighed in defeat and got in the back of the line.

She had woken up super early to get in near the front of the line, but apparently there had been a large group of people who had camped out the night before! She leaned sideways and peered down the line, her long black hair flowing down to her waist and then whipped back into line as she stood straight once more. She looked up at the man in front of her, she reached up and tugged on his shirt with her small hands, Excuse me sir, Rei wants to know how long you have been standing here. The line hadn't moved at all over the pased fifteen minutes. The man turned around and blinked as he looked around, he saw no one and then realized a little 8 year old was talking to him.

Awww, such a brave little girl! Where are your parents? My kids and I have been here since last night, you are welcome to stay with us until we get our passports. Rei nodded silently, it was a good idea to stick with a larger group: that way no one would think about cutting in front of her.
Rei has no parents. she will stick with you. she said in a matter-of-fact way and stood a little closer. The man nodded, a little uneasy about how the girl spoke in third person. Eventually the line began to move, one person had taken up half an hour trying to produce paperwork and get their passport. Sadly, that person didn't get it, they were escorted away from the passport booth after they broke out in a fit.

The day shift arrived after two hours, the replaced the night shift and the line began to move more quickly. Even with the new shift, it still took three hours for Rei and the man's little family to reach the booth. The sun had come up and was shining brightly. Rei was still not used to the intense sunlight and used her umbrella to shield her pale skin. The man and his two kids took about fifteen minutes to get their passports, finally it was Rei's turn. She sidled up to the booth and stood on her tip-toes to look the lady in the eyes. With one hand, she held up her neatly made paperwork on guild paperwork. In the matter of thirty seconds, the lady skimmed her paperwork, stamped her passport and handed it back to her. Now that was complete, Rei thanked the middle-aged man and his two children for accompanying her.
