[Needless to say, Haku's... none too pleased at waking up in what is essentially a coffin and finding that, no, this isn't the afterlife. This is the second time he hasn't been allowed to move on and it's honestly starting to get old.

He'd taken in the information simply enough, filing away the necessary parts as well as anything that might be later, into the back of his mind. A shinobi always took opportunities where they could and he was no exception even now.

This... device could communicate to groups of people and he's going to take advantage of that almost immediately.

Which might explain why he's a little too close to the screen before backing off.]

I have two important questions:

One: What is the working age here?
And two: Is there something akin to shinobi in this place? I... may be interested in speaking more to those that are familiar with the term or are close enough to such.

[... So it's not really enforced, that actually makes his life a little easier in the long run and seems to be getting him to chill out from how riled up he'd been for a moment.]

Law enforcement? [Also she called him "sir", that's a rare one to guess from the very first interaction and he will gladly take it.]

I... I asked the second question primarily to see if that sort of... [He's trailing off for a moment to search for the word. Profession? Lifestyle? Honestly, this isn't great.] work is done around here. It would be easier to transition to a new place when you're at least somewhat familiar with one aspect of it, right?

Oh, I understand that feeling. I spent a long time trying to figure out what job here would be most like my work at home.

What do shinobi do? I'll do my best to help you out.

[What does a shinobi do.

That's the part that almost worries him.]

We... do quite a number of things. Though what I did, myself, tended to favor more... hunting targets and keeping others alive from those that were going after them.

Though I suppose I am also skilled in medical herbs and tracking?

Oh....

[That sounds so much like her job back home. Minus the drama and angst, as far as she knows.]

You might be able to get a law enforcement job. We have police officers here to protect the public and a few cities hire them. There’s also bounty hunting.

[broken_tool]

[Law enforcement? That's more of something that was usually left up to a different branch of shinobi and mostly those that were trusted by whoever was in charge at the time.

Though he's mulling it over before he hears bounty hunting and is sighing quietly. Of course this place would have such a thing, every place would.]

I am, unfortunately, very familiar with the concept of bounty hunting. I would... prefer to not have to deal with that again unless absolutely necessary. If it's as messy a business here as it was back home. But thank you for the suggestions anyway, it at least gives me a place to start on my journey.

Hmm... Yeah, it is pretty stressful... Oh, but you know? Even if it's not something you're the best at yet, why not pick up something you've never tried before? This is a great place to learn new things.

Like, maybe you could apply for a bakery or something. Baking sounds fun. I think there are tea shops too. Do you like tea?
