"Alright ladies, welcome to Rivenwood sanctuary," Sally, the Warden, spoke with a grin. "We're excited to have you for this upcoming month and seeing what you ladies can do. Now before I continue any further I just want to make sure everyone knows that this sanctuary is a S-ranked protected area. So you'll need to make sure you're caught up with the guidelines. We have a good relationship with the current species inhabiting the area, so please respect that."
Letting out a squeal the girls glanced excitedly at one another.
"Do you think we'll get to see any of them?" Jennifer asked aloud.
You already have, Desiree thought, internally rolling her eyes.
"More than likely, a lot of them live in town as well, so I'd be surprised if you haven't," Sally explained.
"Wait, really?" Maggie gasped.
"How will we know?" Clarice wondered, scratching her chin.
"It's all in the finer detail," Sally winked, giving a quick glance towards Desiree.
"Now, the sanctuary has two entrances, one through the north, the other through the south. You'll be split into two groups, and will be assigned to a separate sector each, which you'll alternate at the two week mark."
She continued on to speak of the various tasks that will be competed both within the office and in the sanctuary itself. After handing everyone a copy of the guidelines, she chose the groups.
"So Desiree and Clarice, you two will be grouped together, and you'll be assigned the north sector first. Which means that, Maggie and Jennifer, you guys get the south," she said. "The guide books will have the locations for the two entrances inside, as well as my contact details incase you get lost or something happens."
"I suggest you girls get spend the rest of the day getting familiar with where everything is and taking time to settle in, because tomorrow is when the real work begins and there is a lot to do."
After shaking hands with the Sally and saying goodbye, the girls started heading out to their car, excitedly chatting away about the upcoming work. Desiree opened the office door and held it open fir the others as they walked through, moving to follow them she was stopped when the Warden called.
"Desiree?" Sally smiled, "it's good to see you again."
Offering a small smile in return, Desiree continued through the door.
