[video], Backdated to June 22 -- S'reee really has no idea what she's doing

[S'reee is hovering in the camera feed.]

The people at the Curti Center said I needed a job to earn currency if I wanted to live in a city and not have to catch my own food. That... well, it's not a thing we do back home -- we-whales, not we-all people. Usually we just hunt as we swim, and pursue whatever our vocations are, and no one worries about having a fixed patch of ocean for one's self. I have some friends who are human, but they were considered too young to have jobs, so I only heard about what their parents did.

I'm working as a tour guide in Ka'pandol. Do you have any advice, if you've had a job?

Ah! I see the problem now. Though I'm not sure I'll be of much help - I usually have more things to do than time.

I think what you're doing here is a start, really - letting people know that the tours that you're guiding are available is good. The more people know, the more people will want to do that - and the less you won't have things to do.

Until then - hmm. Practice things you have learned, if anything is appropriate for where your location is appropriate? Or going through things you have memorized - sometimes, it's good to refresh it. Do any of these sound like they might work?

[singerofspells]

Yes. I've had to do the same thing for spells back home -- practice and rehearse and tweak them.

[regisrex]

So that will take care of a portion of the time.

As you are on the network, I am assuming you have a moogle assigned, as well. Perhaps conversing with them can pass some of the hours, as well? Finding out what's of interest to the locals - even if some is inaccessible, there may be stories.

[singerofspells]

A Hypello, actually. I was told that moogles had trouble living in the sea.

[regisrex]

Right! That makes sense. We don't... exactly know all that much about moogles where I'm from. Some, but very little.

Still! The point stands, you can talk about this world and find all sorts of interesting things, I'm sure.

[singerofspells]

Oh, yes. I suspect, since I've found no signs of wizards... my sort of wizards, at least... it means that whatever I learn and remember will be what future wizards will have to work with. It would be easier if I could ask the Sea to remember, but these devices have some of that capability?

[regisrex]

Hmm. They do have that kind of ability, although I'm not sure what happens with the information stored if someone... is gone from Vaikuntha.

Would the Sea here remember? If it does, then you can do that - and, if you wish, I can make dry-land copies of your notes to be stored at some places around the world, for those who might not think to ask the Sea.

[ He's making an awful lot of guesses, but preserving information is... very important, really. ]

[singerofspells]

I can't talk to it and get an answer here. So the copies would be useful.

[regisrex]

All right. We can set up a periodic check in so I can make the hard copy, like maybe every month or so? Or you can let me know there's new material after there has been a significant update.

[singerofspells]

That should work.
