[ Yuri's finally successfully turned on the feed! Behind him, a dog is taking up the majority of his bed, sleeping. ]

I'll be quick, because from the looks of it, the 'I get nothing going on' gets old quick. If someone can forward me a guide, I'll read it over in my own time. I'll only shake someone down for a full rundown if I really have to.

What I really need is a sword. Where to get one, if I need one made, who can make it, and the IOU's that come after that. I'm pretty sure I can wrangle out the right amont of money-- [ Legally, or illegally. A sword is important enough to break rules. ] -- for anyone who can supply.

[ There's a bit of a sigh, and following; ]

I'm Yuri Lowell. If there's anyone who knows that name, I need to talk to you ASAP. [ Even if it's not a friendly face. ]

Why do you need a sword so badly?

[ not that minato doesn't understand wanting to have one... but it is a little strange for a new arrival's first priority. ]

[vigilanteup]

I want to feel like I can watch my back in a creepy place like this. Call me paranoid, but I don't exactly feel safe without something to defend myself after getting dragged out of my world.

[ a nod. ]

That makes sense. You have a power though, don't you? One from this place.

Telekinesis.

It's not particularly useful, though. It's like a party trick. Not something that'd get someone off my back.

happens to to us all... video;

[teleology]

Really? That sounds like it'd be pretty useful.

Once it gets stronger, anyway.

[vigilanteup]

Yeah.

[ He concentrates on a nearby pen, sitting on his bedside table. It levitates and hits the wall, but with a resounding 'tap' that has as much force as an accidental fling. ]

But it's not enough for now.

[teleology]

It's not that dangerous here. Usually.

[ ...granted, "usually" probably isn't good enough. ]

But there are places that sell weapons in the city. I've never needed one, so I'm not sure where... but if you look, you should be able to find a place.

[vigilanteup]

And if I can bring a follow-up question to the table, what's the best way to make money?

[ He was really planning on just pickpocketing his first week, but that's not going to last him. Or be very legal. ]

[teleology]

Ah... a job.

You'll need to get one.

video;

[vigilanteup]

[ pause ]

-- Just got one. I'm a delivery boy.

video;

[teleology]

That was fast.

You're really on top of things.

video;

[vigilanteup]

Well, if I don't settle fast, I'm bound to screw myself over later. Especially if I'm learning about a place from the ground up.

video;

[teleology]

It gets pretty confusing though. There's still a lot of things nobody knows.

video;

[vigilanteup]

Yeah, I got that much.

...

The only thing stopping me from going into this a lot more intense is what I was told. Me being here keeps my home safe?

video;

[teleology]

Something like that.

There's a war being fought here... and if the wrong side wins, I don't think anyone will be safe.

video;

[vigilanteup]

War?

video;

[teleology]

[ a nod. ]

Between these gods and others... well, all sorts of other things. That's why we're here. To help.

video;

[vigilanteup]

How can we help if they strip us of everything that made us useful in a war to begin with?

video;

[teleology]

...improvise?

[ admittedly, not a very satisfying answer. ]

video;

[vigilanteup]

I'll stick with what I know, just to be on the safe side.

video;

[teleology]

Like what?

Sword fighting?

video;

[vigilanteup]

Keeping my back guarded in a strange place.

But basically.

video;

[teleology]

Do you think your back's in danger?

video;

[vigilanteup]

Not sure, but I'm not waiting for any stabs to find out.

video;

[teleology]

Not even one?
