Good day, Asgard! How are you doing? [Wait no Akari stop this isn't your computer you're on you can't talk like how you'd write an email!!] This might be a strange question, but I was wondering about the various businesses and such that people have here. I've noticed that people here have started up their own businesses and shops, so...

[She nods to herself. YEAH, THIS'LL BE FUN!!] If possible, I'd like to ask what sorts of businesses people have running. What you do there, what times it's open, where it is, and things like that. Alternatively, if you're thinking of starting a business but haven't done so yet, I'd really like it if you could tell me a bit about it.

Thank you for your time, everyone.

[And for the rest of the day, Akari can be seen quite literally anywhere! She's going all around the city looking for any kind of business or shop, from various cafes to possibly even your own place. For places that sell food or some other good, Akari is taking a look at the things being sold while jotting down some notes in a small notebook before finally purchasing something for herself. For other kinds of places, she may be trying to get a worker's attention with something like "Um, excuse me!"

If you happen to catch her outside of a store, Akari is once again jotting notes in her notebook, flipping over pages and reviewing what she's written. She seems a bit tired from having walked around for so long, but that smile on her face is that of someone who's completely satisfied with what they've done.]

Ah, that makes sense. You should probably make a map or something like that...

Hmm, that would be useful. [She nods.] While I hope I can become familiar enough here to know my way around without one, it would be rather embarrassing if I had a customer and we both got lost.

It could be an adventure.

An adventure in a place where everyday almost seems like an adventure by itself... It sounds like fun!

You might have to give your customer a refund though...

It won't be much of a business then, would it...

Making a profit is tough.

Ehe, to be honest, I'm not so interested in making a profit as just being able to do this. There's still a lot of things I have to practice in order to become a full-fledged undine, so even if I can't do everything here, I want to do what I can.

Well, if you want to practice, I'm always available.

... really? You wouldn't mind?

I won't have to pay, right?

Hehe, no, you wouldn't. Since it's only practice, it wouldn't be right to charge.

You'll have to come up with ways to make it interesting for customers. Do you have any ideas?

To make it interesting for customers... [But to her everything is already interesting no matter what!!] I guess just taking a long walk through here wouldn't be so exciting to everyone. It's a little selfish of me, I but I wish there were water canals here. Riding a gondola is always fun.

Maybe we can dig some.

[ except... not... ]

With just two people? [Maybe if they believe hard enough!!]

...it'd be a pretty small canal.

Hehe, I don't know if there'd be a gondola small enough to row through it then.

Being a gondola operator is more complicated than I thought...

Rowing a gondola properly can be very difficult! It takes a lot of practice, and not everyone is so good at first. [Including her... though that might be because she taught herself accidentally how to row backwards oops.]

Do you think I could do it?

Hmm... [Looking at him up and down and SIZING HIM UP.] I'm sure that with enough practice, you'd be great!

Then let's do it. I'll become a gondola operator.

Oho, are you sure you're up for the challenge?

There's only one way to find out.
