[Ada like to think after a week of being here she would have figured out how to finally use the device. Sort of. She had figured out how to use video, but since she never used it hasn't fully sunk in that she should maybe move it a bit further back. She'll probably figure that out later or at least while she adjusts it now and again.]

Good morning... I'm not 100% confident that I am holding it correctly, but I am figuring it out as I go. [She smiles slightly.] A device like this is not what I was used to before I arrived. [A paused, she had a reason for this. She moved to bow slightly. She was being polite.]

But I figured I should at least introduce myself to everyone here. My name is Ada Vessalius and it is a pleasure to meet you. [She soon stood up straight, hands still firmly holding the device.]

I arrived around a week ago and I am still getting my bearings, but I am asking for something like a tour guide more than anything. To show me around and explain things that I might not fully understand. [She glanced away for a moment.]

I've already explored a bit, but there are certain things that I don't know which is why I am asking. I want to understand this place much more. [She also may of started her occult collection here but that is a story she isn't going to be open about any time soon.]

I will reward you for you kindness if you are to help. Thank you for listening.

Nice to meet you, Ms Vessalius! My name is Satou Kuroneko--- Magical Girl Detective of Everglade! I can try to help you out~.

[occultfan]

You work in Everglade?

[Does that mean she knew about the stuff there better than she did. After all, she was pretty sure she had come across objects she had no clue about and she had been extremely curious.]

That would be helpful, thank you.

[priceofmagic]

Of course! I'm super happy to be of assistance!

Do you have magic? Or fighting skills? Everglade is dangerous without them!

[occultfan]

No, I have nither. I mean I can try, I tried to use a sword once, but it didn't exactly work out.

[It was heavy so she could barely lift it.]

[priceofmagic]

[She giggles.] Your first try at anything will rarely work out! Few of us are born perfect.

Except my Shugo, but he wastes his perfect on video games.

[occultfan]

I know, but it doesn't stop a girl from trying either way.

I mean I hope to never actually have to use a sword, but if I want to protect those I love, I would do it.

Are you saying you're not used to technology? [That's what the 'device' comment made him think, anyway.]

I don't know how much of a help I'll be, but I can try. Ever used a microwave before? They aren't pets.

[occultfan]

We had phones, but not phones you could bring around and do the whole... video and text thing. So it's a learning experience.

[A fun learning experience anyway.]

I've never used one before, but they seem to have one in the room I am currently staying at. I still don't know how it works.

[ubiquitously]

Oh, good. There's hope for you.

I do know about 'modern' technology, though. I can assist you with any questions in regards to that aspect.

[occultfan]

Um well... I'm not sure where to actually start with it really. I guess the basics might, help but I don't know.

[ubiquitously]

Well, at the absolute basics... What do you know about electricity? I know that might sound like a silly question, but it changes a lot. Do you have electric lights? Or batteries? Wireless technology?

I'm assuming you have been to the Welcome Office already but if you're looking for something more about Attleton, you're welcome to drop by the Guardian's office. We are always happy to help new arrivals find their way around our town.

video

[occultfan]

I have. It was the first place I went to actually.

[The second place she went to was Everglade which she found amazing. But she wasn't going to be open about that anytime soon.]

Though is dropping by the Guardians office a good idea? I mean aren't they busy?

Re: video

[captain_by_the_book]

Yes, we are busy, but assisting people is part of our duties, we don't mind.

[ And they like to keep an eye on who is hanging around their town, it's a convenient way to get to know pendant bearers showing an interest in Attleton. ]

Personally, I don't mind visitors accompanying me when I patrol on foot, it's a good way to show them our town while doing my job.

video

[occultfan]

So what is a job of a Guardian anyway? Since I am new, there are some things I have yet to learn after all.

[Might as well start with the basics.]

Re: video

[captain_by_the_book]

We are elected to be in charge of security matters, and can to some extent make policy decisions in matters of law enforcement. What our work exactly entails differs from town; in Attleton it means that we are mostly doing day-to-day police work. In cities with a large standing police force, it's oftentimes more of a supervising position and dealing with the specific problems pendant bearers cause.

hey ada!
i'm not super great at finding stuff yet but if you feel like adventuring we could explore genessia city together.
i did manage to find some places with good food at least, so that's a start.

[occultfan]

[On the upside, Ada is getting a little better with the whole texting thing.]

I would lorve that. Expleoing sounds like fun.

[terriblemovies]

i'd LORVE it too.
hehe i'm just kidding around, you're doing a ton better at texting now.
what kind of things do you like to eat?
it's common sense that you shouldn't go exploring without eating first.

[occultfan]

I know ts amazing

What i like to eat? Well i dont have a eact favouitw but then agaib I was raised on some really dancy food so I kind of want to try some different thinfs.

What would yoir durgestions be on the subject of food?

[terriblemovies]

keep at it and you'll write a full coherent sentence in no time.
i don't know a lot about dancy food so i'm glad you don't want that.
have you ever had like, a burger before?

[fadedscarlet]

I believe the best way to explore is by getting lost.

So shove your kindness up your ass and literally get lost.

[huffs, but smirks at how they're being mean to everyone now]

[video]

[occultfan]

Because if one gets lost then they'll have to ask to get around. That's actually a somewhat good idea.

Not the best though.

[She used it to her advantage anyway.]

As for shoving my kindness. That's rather rude. [She was used to being yelled at by someone in the past, but that was just mean.]

Re: [video]

[fadedscarlet]

I know. I'm a rude and awful creature. Saaaaaay those sexy words to me, girl~~~

[Kii winked, pistol fingering her]

[video]

[occultfan]

I am curious as to why you are either trying to be rude or just rude in general.

[She... really does not know what the finger thing is for.]

I don't appreciate the last sentence, however. Mostly because they aren't sexy, they are just logical.
