To new adventures

Job Info:

Another day, another boring yet important task. To most it wouldn’t seem particularly necessary, but to Caelestis obtaining a passport was probably as necessary as breathing. How else was he supposed to go looking for new artifacts and knowledge in other lands? Being able to travel outside of Fiore was good in the long run, and despite the ridiculous lines he was more than willing to come here for the passport. He definitely wasn’t waiting in a lineup for 5 hours to get his passport, though. No, he fully intended to cut in line.

Upon his arrival at the passport office, he did just that. Slipping his small body in between a much taller man and the woman in front of him, he managed to go unnoticed. Being tiny had it’s advantages sometimes, even if it usually sucked. There was still a massive lineup in front of him, but he could cut in further once he’d taken a minute to observe where he’d be the least likely to get noticed. It didn’t matter that the line seemed to stretch endlessly in front of him, or that there seemed to be constant shoving and pushing to get to a better position in line.

It took a couple of minutes, but he eventually found his next opening, a large family with far too many kids. It was far too easy to blend himself in among the children, not even the family themselves seeming to notice that he wasn’t one of theirs. They were much closer to the front of the line, and he soon found himself only a few people away from being able to get his own passport. He lingered in the back of the family’s group, more than ready to be over and done with this. Even if getting the actual passport would be a dry and dull process, it had to be better than standing in line.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, it was his turn to head up to the nearest desk and get started on the process of obtaining his passport. Much of it was a blur of questions and the occasional snap of a camera. Awkward smiles, short, clipped answers to questions, and a lot of nearly nodding off. The whole thing was taking absolutely forever, and Caelestis was bored out of his mind. Did they really need to know all of this? Surely it didn’t take that long to fill his info into the computer so that they could get everything printed off and ready? Luckily, he didn’t have to wait that much longer, and walked out of the office a few short minutes later with a shiny new passport.

After being in the cramped office for so long, he had to stretch as soon as he walked out into the fresh air of Clover. Despite the utter chaos that he’d seen since arriving in this town, he had to admit it wasn’t all that bad. It was quiet enough for his senses, at least, and the wind was sweet.
