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.]

What kind of work? [Her naturally soft, serious tone perks up a little. This sounds like it could perk the place up a little...]

I would probably commission a uniform.

Oh, that sounds easy enough. We've got patterns for all kinds of uniforms. Unless it'd be your own design...?

[She nods.] Yes, I'm pretty sure it would have to be a custom sort of thing. Luckily, I was wearing my uniform when I was brought here, so I'd be able to show that at least.

Oh, making a pattern from a pre-made piece of clothing is no problem at all. If it's too complicated for me, my bosses can definitely do it. That'll make it less expensive than taking on or drawing up an original design, too.

Oh, I'm glad to hear it! I might need more than one, and for some of them some alterations will be need to made like sleeve length, but I hope that won't be too much trouble still.

If you've got measurements, it'll be no trouble at all. [Smiling broadly now. This really sounds like a good job, if she can be in on it.]

I'll be sure to try and get them then! Oh, but I'll need to find some measuring tape first... Maybe I can buy it?

If you want to, there's a supply shop just down the road from us.

... how good are you with the bracelet? I can send you a file that has a special map I made, with all of the businesses that were here when I arrived marked down on it. None of the new ones are there yet, but both the tailor shop and the supply shop will be there.

Oh, that sounds perfect! I think I'm pretty good with this; it's quite different in terms of design from my own communication device back home, but I think the functions are more or less the same. I should be able to look at the file if you send it.

Alright, here it comes.

[She pushes a few buttons, and then annotatedmap.jpg should appear on the screen, which is revealed to be a very carefully kept record of every shop and business in Asgard. Notes are in the local language with Japanese beneath, and while they're small and a bit cramped, they're neat and logical. They say things like Largest in city or on the expensive side? or smaller selection than Sigyn's.]

If you check Freyr's district, you'll find us.

[Akari is absolutely beaming when she opens the file up man you have no idea.]

Ahh, this is just the kind of thing I needed! I'll be able to put together the things I need a lot quicker now with this. You've really helped me out here, and not just with the uniforms I'll need! Thank you so much! I'll be sure to visit the shop ASAP.

Oh, it's no problem. [Gushing = blushing.] I'm just glad I could help out. And this sounds like a fun job, so I can't wait.

Neither can I! I'll really have to get to work on all of this.

Can I ask what the uniforms are for?

Oh, of course! I wonder if it'll seem a bit strange, but... they're uniforms for the business I'm planning on opening.

That's not strange at all, depending on the business. What'll it be?

If all goes well, I plan on opening a tour guide business.

A tour guide - that's a great idea. [She looks surprised for a moment, then smiles broadly.] Having somewhere we could send all of the new people to find a friendly, helpful face, in person... that'd be great.

H-Hahi, you think so? [Someone said it's a good idea BE STILL HER BEATING HEART!!] Yes, I was thinking that it'd be helpful for newcomers especially... I also think it'd be nice just to be able to show what's fun to see in general in this city too. Even though we were all brought here against our will, I'm sure there's at least something here someone can find to love.

I like the park a lot. [Thoughtfully.] I've had some good times there, and it's really calming. It'll be nice when it's summer, all of the flowers out and everything.

Ohh, the park... [She nods.] I can't wait to see it in summer too! Maybe I can make it a feature in a tour.

Have you tried the carriage ride? It really shows all of the park well. I want to try the boats across the lake, too, when it's warm enough.

The lake... [Suddenly, she sounds very, very, VERY excited. She's practically bubbling over with energy.] Of course, there's a lake here! The gods haven't said anything about people who are and aren't allowed to use it, have they? Can anyone row there if they want?

I'm pretty sure anyone can, yeah. It's just part of the park.
