( semi-open ) i think it's because we are similar!

Who: nami + various
When: around the intro log and after
Where: all over, basically
What: intro log overflow + open quest wildcards
Warnings: extreme ridiculousness

( nami is available for the following quests: the part time quests (modeling, alchemy and baking), the undercover job and chasing kitties! if you want to do any of them, please hit me up on plurk @ [plurk.com profile] celen or with a pm and i can write us a starter, or just wildcard it here! either is fine. )

[As Soundwave's eyes are still away from Nami, she squeaks out a surprise at the arm wrapping around her as they lean together, Nami's close contact just makes her face redder than the counter a moment ago. Soundwave does look at the water after the initial surprise though, scrutinizing the reflection of the avatar for half a minute, red eyes blinking.]

... Not really? [Help the fool recognize her qualities.]

[Gon is science minded in his own way...but it definitely tends to be on the natural side of things.]

Oh! Like for work? I'm a Hunter!

Yes. There are a few that claim to have done so. If nothing else, they are still alive after what should be an average life.

[It was something that of course everyone hoped for, but he wasn't sure how much he would want from that... at least at the moment]

It is a family heirloom and a rather powerful spiritual weapon. If I find a way to use it, I will have to show you.

[He better not find a way to do so... considering what his monster type is even though he doesn't know it yet]

Yes, that is why. It is common practice in Yunmeng to use boats for transportation and commerce as well as by land. [The faintest nostalgic looked crossed his face thinking about the Lotus Pier] It is. When the lotus are blooming, you can see the flowers sticking out of the water all around the clan house.

Basically! The most common type is a real estate agent, which is someone who helps buy and sell houses and land, but you can get specialists in antiques and art and jewellery and stuff too who can help you value things and make sure you're getting what it's worth, and some will help you set up auctions to make sure you're getting buyers who can pay the value.

[So real estate is kind of boring comparatively, and also still kind of full of rip-off artists compared to the other types of assessing and valuing jobs, but it's definitely the most common one he can think of off the top of his head.]

It took me a minute to adjust when I got here too, so I feel like it's easier to just let others know how things can be. Though my biggest hurdle to get my head around was definitely the fact that magic is a thing here.

[ eren wears a large hood to cover his horns, otherwise, it'd be far too easy to spot him in the night; like two icy gems that glisten when any type of light bounces off of them. to awkward pokes tent the hood, but at least color aids him in blending in. mostly.

except he's seen this woman more than once, and some observing would lead him to the same conclusion, lifting himself from a seat outside of a pub. ]


Your dear friends? [ not sardonically, or anything, simply a sign that he noticed. eren might've heard her the first few times he was strolling down the street, too, but now that it's given that they're on the same job— the dragon's tongue, forked and toned blue slithers out in the same direction he turns his head. ] I think they're down the next block. Not too far off.

[ Despite his sullen demeanor, Jean is actually extroverted, preferring the company of others to being alone. He's also interested in learning as much about magic as he can, because evening the gap between yourself and others is the most practical thing to do when in a new environment (and also, it looks quite awesome). There's no reason he wouldn't approach someone he already knows as she practices, and he's been mimicking her attempts, trying to figure this out as well. ]

So that's actually for ... science? [ ????????? ] I thought it was just for hitting people with.

[ Jean means in self-defense, but he's sure saying it like he thinks Nami is some violent queen bee.

He glances at the little cloud she had made in awe. Nami at least managed to accomplish something. Jean isn't doing so hot at all, having no actual experience with weather science. (They barely understand how the weather works where he comes from.) He's only succeeded at ... making his own hands moist with condensation? It's clean water, but the feeling is still gross. ]

[It was probably good that Jiang Cheng hadn't brought his sword today when he had left his residence. Maybe karma knew that he wouldn't need it and that it would only get in the way.

Whatever it was, he was in the right place at the right time as suddenly a kitten teleported to land in front of him. He luckily spotted the tiny thing now across his path, stopping short to avoid stepping on it.

Where the heck did that feline come from? He knew it wasn't there before.

As Nami signaled him, he looked between her and then back down at the cat. Okay, so he had to catch the cat. He took a careful step towards the calico kitten then another]


Little cat, stay there.

[Same as with her, he got within two feet of the kitten and then it was gone. He stood up whirling quickly, trying to spot it. Where had it gone?]

From what I have seen, others are able to do things that we would be able to back home. They determined I have no magic when they tested me.

[So he would be a monster, but no idea what yet]

Hmm... then being a navigator sounds like an important job to have. We at least could still see the land when we traveled.

If you were able, I would show it to you. I do tend to believe that the food Yunmeng is good. If they like spicy food, then they would certainly like it there.

[It's actually so rare Momo meets someone else who has that kind of experience with magic that he can't help but laugh, sounding almost relieved.]

Yeah, that was my thought when I got here. Like, I couldn't really disbelieve it because I'd just walked into another world, but in my world it's just stories so having to accept it so quickly was really hard...I got there eventually, it just took actually getting into the study and having some idea of how it works.

[Somehow, that had made it a little more real to him and solidified it as another type of skill. Even if they have an innate ability for it, it's still just like any other skill in that there are rules and techniques and you need to learn how to do it if you actually want to be successful at it.]
