[He's not comfortable with speaking to the strange screen the bracelet is capable of making appear.

But this option allows for something similar enough to a typewriter that he can function reasonably well with it.]

I am still learning my way around this place, and I should be grateful for assistance.

I would like to know what sort of work there is, for I am not a man keen on being idle. I don't have many skills as a labourer, however, but I served in Her Majesty's Army for nearly twenty years. Soldier by profession, hunter by hobby. A good shot, but I doubt there is much in that line of work here. Still, I should be glad to give most work a try, particularly for a salary.

In addition, I suppose there is nowhere to hunt here. Is there a place where, once I have the necessary funds, I may purchase a firearm of some sort? I should not like to fall out of practice, and I would be much more comfortable, I admit, knowing I've at least a revolver at the ready. Old habits, you understand.

Thank you kindly for any assistance you can provide and your time, whether or not assistance can be provided.

[Let a pal fill you in, fellow Moran.]

Not much in that line of work here? Oh, dear fellow, you have no idea what you're in for.

The hunting, however, you're mostly correct about. Foxes and deer are all I've found here, and they're hardly worth the shot.

Paid work in that line?

[Because that's the most important piece right now. Even if the hunting is lacklustre, that this man speaks of it at all must mean there's a place to arm himself once he has the funds.]

Wouldn't call it paid work. Not just yet, anyway. It's something you're familiar with, though.

There's a list of every person currently in the city programmed into the bracelet. Have you consulted it yet?

[You know the name to look for. Shame you're in for disappointment.]

[By the time he replies? He's seen it. Oh, has he seen it.]

Well, isn't that useful? Thank you kindly.

Fair warning, chum. He isn't what you expect.

Not yours, then?

[He knew not to even hope it was the man he knew.]

You can hunt outside the city gates. What if you tried selling what you hunted? There are some animals out there that taste good. (⌒▽⌒)☆

There is very little to hunt here. Employment is also unlikely.

As for your request for a firearm, I cannot help.

[Which is a complete lie, but she isn't going to give any help to yet another one of her alternates.]

Far from. Fits into the same mould when you really give it a thought, but there are more than a very glaring differences.

Care for a cup of tea? Over which you could enlighten me about the differences. Just so I'm warned.

[Because this isn't the proper venue for that talk.]

Optimistic sort, aren't you?

Now, that's a proper idea.
Would there be much of a market for fresh game around here?

Maybe. I know I'd prefer something freshly killed over something that's been sitting around for who knows how long.

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you kindly.

You could ask at the citadel if they need additional instructors; though that is only if you are interested in teaching.

Afraid I don't think I'd be much of a teacher. Only skill I could properly instruct on would be shooting.

I've only heard of crossbow and sword instructors there, but they might be interested in adding in firearm instructors, if they do not already have those.

You're welcome! (◕‿◕✿)

Optimism is pointless.

[You must forgive him - seeing that name on the network list once again has left him with a fairly bad taste in his mouth.

Because really, another one?

You do seem a bit more level-headed than his face-twin, though, so maybe he will allow a first impression before assuming you are anything like the other two.]

There is plenty of work to be had, but most of it calls for much less effort than you seem to have experience with and a good majority of those jobs would probably be a waste of talent.

As for the firearm, I do not specifically know of a place to buy it, but the city is quite large. I'm sure you can find something somewhere, if you're clever enough.

I wouldn't have fancied myself the teaching sort, but if I can find weapons and ammo enough, I may look into that.

[Three possible opportunities for funds. That as promising enough, at least.

Hunt, teach, or speak to a man with a familiar name on reference from another.]

Thank you kindly.

I can't worry about getting a gun, really, until my finances are in order to afford one. What sort of work is there, if I may ask? I'd be happy to do just about anything I could be capable at, at least for a time. A man doesn't like to just go about in the world, unable to provide for himself.

The person to contact would be called "Merlin".

I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Waiting, store clerks, business attendants, that sort of thing. It all depends on what you can find that isn't already taken - I also believe there is a sort of school for fighting. The Citadel. It might be worth looking into.

I did just get done being something of a personal secretary and valet for a gentleman of means, so I think I will give waiting a pass for the time being.

Someone else did mention the school, though, and indicated that they don't believe there's a class in firearms. Still, sadly, that requires the funds of arms and ammunition.

I will certainly keep your suggestions in mind.

Good luck choosing right, then.
