[ Julie's tired and not really feeling like making a full appearance. Not with the past few weeks she's had. She's bruised and banged up from the final fight with Boneys on top of Citi Stadium, and while she's showered already, she just feels so gross. So she's sticking with text. ]

Hi. I'm Julie Grigio. Newly arrived, newly informed of my status as a kidnapped individual. Really not the worst kidnapping I've ever had, but also not the best one, either. Kind of middle-ground as kidnappings go.

I am, I will admit this much, very happy to have been kidnapped to a clean, populated city, and not to a derelict jet-plane occupied by a hoarder in an airport overrun by the Undead.

Long story. I'll explain later.

I'm actually here to find a job. I'm an artist. I love to draw, paint, work with clay. Is there an art studio around here anywhere or even an art supply shop? I haven't done all that much exploring. Just got some food and went to my room in the Commonspace.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Julie, my name is k2SO.

You had that man kidnappings in the past that you now have a scale? That's concerning.

Undead as in zombies or as in vampires? We have both here but they're very polite or stick to living in everglade more os the time.

You might find art supplies shops in Genessia and Everglade. or more traditional paints you could check Fayren city.

You seem very, very nonchalant about kidnapping.

You make it sound like you being kidnapped is a normal thing?

I've been kidnapped once, and it was by someone who was actually trying to save my life. It was a weird situation.

I'm Julie. Hi. I wouldn't necessarily call it being nonchalant, more...annoyed eyerolling. There were things going on back home that I wanted to be part of, and now I'm here.

Not so much normal. More it's happened once already within the last few weeks.

[ It's a talking droid. Okay. Not the weirdest thing she's ever seen. It's just going to take a minute for her to talk again. ]

Granted, I only actually have one other instance to compare this one to, but it's something. And the last one ended up not being so bad, either.

Undead as in zombies? And if you can believe it, zombies trying to live again.

Good to meet ya, Julie. I mean, I guess it's probably better to only be annoyed rather than kicking and screaming about it, at least in this place. It's kind of unavoidably hard to get out of this place.

I'm sorry to hear that. Must have been awful.

I think there's some art studios in Genessia, but I do need an artist to work for me. Thing is, it's in Everglade and for a Haunted House and related adjacent restaurant. So undead all the way.

How are you at designs in leatherworking?

Good thing I’m adaptable, then.

I didn’t catch your name.

Surprisingly, it turned out a lot better than I first expected.

I’m Julie.

Hey, one of the most important people in my life is Undead. I don’t judge or have issue with them at all. I’d be willing to come in and talk about a job.

I would be absolutely willing to learn.

I can teach you how, but the designs themselves are not my strength. Do you have any sort of examples of what you can do?

Awesome then! I'd love to see your portfolio. You might not want to live inside Everglade though. The rent is higher for humans to try to combat gentrification.

Don't really have one, but I go by Graverobber.

That's... Okay I don't know if that is good or bad.

But I'm Winry. Winry Rockbell.

[ That's fine lady, he's used to people doing a double-take. ]

One sounds one too many, if you ask me. But here no one will hurt you, as long as you don't go to certain parts of the cities.

Zombies trying to live again? How is that possible?

That's what I haven't figured out yet, but I think it started when my previous kidnapper decided to go against his zombie impulses and keep me safe from his friends. He started improving after, slowly. And then a few others did, too.

But how it happens? No idea.

Graverobber?

[ She's almost afraid to ask, so she'll just leave that as is for now. ]

Nice to meet you.

It's good. It's very good, I promise.

Nice to meet you, Winry.

I did manage to come with my sketchbook. I'll bring it by in a few days. I kind of want to get to know my surroundings, maybe even come up with something new to draw for you.

One of my sketchpads from home made it with me. I can bring that by.

[He laughs when she doesn't ask because, yeah, he knows it's strange.]

Good to meet ya, too. You seem like you'll adapt all right to this place.

I sure hope I do. Even with the short tour I took, it has a lot going on in its favor, so that should help.

That is acceptable. Do you have anywhere where you'd like to meet?

Well, yeah, it does have its charms. I guess depending on where you're coming from, it can be a kind of nice vacation from shit.
