Chapter 1-1: Destiny

The Kimura Legacy

         I've decided to try my hand at the Random Legacy Challenge. For a bit more of a challenge I decided to start out my legacy with the starting funds from the original Legacy Challenge. This is the story of Tori Kimura and her family. In case you're wondering which world I'm using, it's called Eltham's Drift (with some editing by me) and was created by neuroticrobotic over at Garden of Shadows. Hope you enjoy the story ~.^

      This is Tori Kimura. She's recently moved to Eltham's Drift to forge her own path and discover her destiny. When she was growing up all she ever wanted to be was a world famous architect, specializing in renovations. She has come here to discover that dream, and hopefully make a life for herself and future generations of her would-be family. In her free time she loves to sculpt and to paint however she isn't that great at either one of them yet. She hopes to become exceptional with a lot of practice. She firmly believes that you can get done whatever you set your mind to if you work hard enough. She's a very charismatic person who is quick to make friends and never walks away from a fight. Look out Eltham's Drift because you have one heck of a whilwind coming.

   This is the quaint little island town of Eltham's Drift. Tori Kimura as come here from Twinbrook to make a fresh start for herself. Growing up in Twinbrook she was used to small towns, but she had never lived on an island before. According to the tourism catalogue's she had browsed, despite being on an island Eltham's Drift was actually quite lively and it seemed like the perfect fit.

    First things first, she needed to find somewhere to live. She searched around town and found this gorgeous plot of land. It was enormous, perfect for expanding and it also sported a little shack on it already. She'd be able to expand and show off her architectural prowess at the same time! It would cost her all of the money she had left but, hey it was worth it. She didn't mind "roughing" it for a little while. The only problem was the shack looked suspiciously like an old outhouse, she put it out of her mind however and focused on her future renovation plans.

    Now that she had found a place to live, or at least a place to camp out for the time being, she needed to find a job. She went to the local library hoping to find some job listings on the 'net but she came up dry. There's got to be an architect job in this town, maybe they'll have more job postings down at city hall, she thought to herself.

    After stopping to ask directions from the librarian, she made her way down to city hall. First stop, information desk. She walked right up to kind looking elderly woman and said "Excuse me, my name's Tori and I'm kind of new in town. I'm looking for a job and came up dry on the internet, City Hall doesn't happen to post local job openings does it?"

"Well dearie, you've come to the right place. Most people here in town prefer to list job openings here with us instead of on the internet, us being a small town and all. Were you looking for anything in particular?"

"I just finished my degree in architectural design and was hoping you had something in that field." Tori replied

"Hmmm, let me look here" the elderly woman shuffled some papers around "Aha! here we are, looks like there is an opening in the architect field. Doesn't pay very much to start out with I'm afraid though."

"That doesn't matter," Tori said excitedly "being an architect is my dream. I'll take it!"

So she stayed at City Hall to fill out some paperwork for her new job as an architectural designer. Hopefully she was able to impress most of the town populace and get promoted soon. She needed as much money as she could to improve her living situation. As she was leaving she turned back to the woman and asked "Hey, one more thing if you don't mind, do you happen to have a map of the city?"

"Certainly dear, here you are." said the lady as she handed Tori a map "See you around town, dear. Don't forget your new job starts at 8am tomorrow. The locals will call you to let you know what they need done in their homes. Oh, and welcome to Eltham's Drift"
