( video ) Curti Center Employee AMA
[ The feed starts with the image of a dark-haired young woman, brows furrowed in concentration as she seems to be fiddling with the slate. Following several seconds she pulls back, seemingly satisfied. ]
Steady… There, it’s started.
Hello everyone, I hope many of you are doing well. We are the employees of Curti Center charged with assisting outworlders and newcomers to Vaikuntha.
First, I want to extend our apologies in our failing to answer all questions from the start. We found ourselves overwhelmed by the number of people and severely understaffed for the endeavour. Though not an excuse, we are always ready and available to assist you to the best of our abilities.
That said, I do feel it is our responsibility to inform those who were guided by Sarah Cornelia that she has departed from the Center, and we wish the best for her. The rest of us will do our utmost to carry on in her stead, which brings us to…
[ Stare. Staring off-screen. Yo, new guy, that’s your cue unless someone else wants to take over this part. ]
You’ve made it sound like she died-- what, is it my turn already?
Yes, in fact it is!
[The new guy turns out to be a blond man, but he doesn’t appear onscreen until he’s done talking, everyone else moving to allow him to be the center of attention.]
Hey, I’m Gi. I’ve met some of you and talked to some of you. I just got hired at the Curti Center, so I don’t know a lot of what goes on there, but I can tell you anything you want to know about the rest of Vaikuntha!
[ This last sentence earns him a small nudge from the third companion - a stern-looking, brown-haired young man, who decides it’s time to switch before his newest coworker gets too carried away with his enthusiasm. ]
As long as they’re questions we’re capable of answering. Anything from school or employment applications to Asterisks and housing - we would be happy to fill you in on the knowledge required should you wish to blend in with the local community.
[ Well, simply speaking it’s kind of their responsibility. He takes a moment to adjust his glasses before resuming. ]
I’m aware that many of you have taken interest in discovering the secrets of Vaikuntha and what lies beyond it. While I could point you in the direction of books that cover the subject in more detail, the Dream Width in particular is subject to an on-going research, so that the accidents such as the one we’ve witnessed recently can be avoided. And, of course - perhaps this shouldn’t be left for last - we’re continuously searching for a way to get you all home safely.
It’ll--ah, hmm, nevermind.
Nevermind…? [ Sylvarie takes a moment to look politely confused, but shrugs afterward and continues with addressing their audience. Ah, why did the screen have to be this small? ]
I suppose if… you want to ask questions about ourselves, we can discuss that as well. We do reserve the right to not answer, but the truth of the matter is—we don’t want to be strangers.
[ Well, some of them didn’t, anyway. At least, not completely. However, in that instance it occurs to her that there is one important detail they have yet to bring up. ]
Wait, I haven’t introduced myself. Everyone, we may need to start over—
[ A small groan can be heard off-screen. ]
Just drop our contact details below, this is already taking longer than it should.
We can’t be that crude about it!
Say your name, then. Nothing crude about that.
S… Sylvarie Aila Jue, of the Royal City of Myste Aura…
[ Was there anything else she was meaning to say? Nobody will ever know, because upon hearing that, the man with glasses accepts defeat and leans in for a brief moment, awkwardly bumping against Sylvarie’s shoulder in the process. ]
Lean. From Min’To...-
Kweh!
[ Hold on, that didn’t sound like a person… ]
Machi? How did you enter—? Saku—? Machi, no!
[ Alas, the perpetrator seems to have a mind of its own as a ball of fluffy black feathers charges right toward the screen, chirping merrily as it begins pecking at the glass. Feel free to sit down and enjoy these precious seconds of rare Chocobo footage before the feed abruptly shuts off. ]
[ ooc note: this is a joint video post of the following Curti Center employees: Sylvarie (purple), Gi (orange) and Lean (green) - guest starring Machi the Chocobo. As such, the replies might come from any of them - this is a completely open post where all sorts of threadjacking are allowed. If you have any questions, feel free to PM any of the players or poke us on Discord!
IC-ly, this takes place after the event. ]

Give me a list of their contributions, then.
And while you're at it, how about all the Center's findings on the Dream Width?
We want to figure this out and hopefully go home, and there's no point in us reinventing the wheel and wasting everyone's time and energy.
You can't say you're here to help people and then just refuse to take us seriously.
It makes it sound like you want the ego boost without doing the work.
And you wouldn't have signed up for the job if you didn't want to help people, right?

Seriously.
text???
yeah
