[ When the feed clicks on, there's a moment where the girl on camera looks utterly stunned. She's obviously not used to this kind of technology, nor is she really used to speaking to so many strangers... but she manages to recover(?). ]
Um-- Hello there. My name is Marianne. [ She speaks slowly, hesitantly. ] I was wondering if there were any jobs that require taking care of horses... and if there was any sort of school here.
[ Even if she's not home, she can't neglect her studies, after all. A moment or several's pause, and-- ]
... Thank you.

You look like you're unfamiliar with all of this "technology", am I right?

A school? Well, it just so happens I'm a teacher at Sir Cid's School for Squires in Fayren.
The name's Takumi.

[The idea of combining “Mary” and “Anne” is apparently too foreign to Satou.]</small/) I’m Satou! I don’t think we have horses in Genessia City, but I’ve heard they’re used to travel in Fayren.

[ "School for Squires," huh... that's encouraging. ]
What do you teach there?
no subject
[ And... well, this seems such a big place, she isn't surprised there are things some people haven't seen. ]
no subject
[ Well, heck, Satou, you managed to fluster her. Marianne momentarily isn't sure what to say, but there's definitely a bit of color on her cheeks. Though with how pale she is, it's not that hard... ]
Um, I've heard quite a bit about Fayren. Have you not been there?
no subject
Except for the words 'cool sci-fi place' because that's what it is.
Hi, I'm Rose, by the way. Nice to meet you, Marianne!
[she's just, going on and on with all of this.]
no subject
Archery. It's, uh... What I'm good at.
So, now about you. Are you looking for a school to enroll as a student? Or work as a teacher?
no subject
Well... I'm a student back home. I know a little archery, but I'm not very good at anything but magic... so I don't think I could ever be a teacher.
no subject
[ That sure is a lot of information! Luckily, Marianne knows more than a few people who are as enthusiastic as Rose. ]
Rose... It's nice to meet you. [ Here, she bows her head a little. ] But I'm not so sure it's nice to meet me.
[ well that came out of nowhere ]
no subject
[If he had a beard, he'd be stroking it. The bare chin will have to do.]
I do believe the Ivory Tower in Fayren is more your type. An old... [
enemy] ...Acquaintence of mine taught there. He's gone, but classes should still be available.no subject
[That gets her to stop, though, looking at the camera in concern...]
Why not? You seem nice.
no subject
If I'm to be useful in any way, I can't neglect my studies... Are there certain requirements to join the school?
no subject
Oh-- Please don't be deceived. I'm not the sort of person you want to waste your time on.
no subject
Hey, Mary. Where are you right now? Are you still near the Bay, or have you found a new place to stay, or anything?
no subject
[ aw beans. ]
But please don't trouble yourself with me. I don't want to cause you misfortune by being around me.
no subject
[True to her word, a tiny redhead is going to be charging into the Bay area to look around for Marianne. Blue hair, braid, aura of crippling depression, how hard can finding her be?]
no subject
[A shame. Sounds like a student to be proud of.]
I think the bare minimum would be don't set anyone on fire.
[Takumi attempted humor.]
no subject
[ Oh, this-- this is happening. Oh dear. Marianne doesn't know what to do, so she just kind of hangs out around the Bay.....
That hair is sure hard to miss, isn't it? ]
no subject
[ Wow that's... sure said seriously. Goodness. ]
no subject
so Rose is going to run over, before leaning over, hands on her knees, breathing hard.
She may have sprinted over here, from her apartment.]
Hi I'm here you're Marianne right you look right but video does weird stuff sometimes hi.
no subject
Well said. Well, Marianne, if you ever want to learn archery, for either combat or hobby, you know where to find me.
no subject
Y-yes, that's me. I'm sorry you went to all this trouble just for me...
no subject
no subject
Now come on, I found a really good all-you-can-eat grill joint nearby.
[She straightens up, grinning.]
no subject
[ The concept seems totally foreign to her. ]
Oh-- I don't need to eat that much. And really... it's not very nice to be around me.
no subject
[hOLDS HER HAND OUT IN FRONT OF MARIANNE'S FACE]
You're here, you're in a new world, you're probably overwhelmed, it's all weird crazy stuff here, and I'm guessing from how you said you were more familiar with Fayren that you're from a world that's way technologically behind this place, right? So, your mood's gotta be in the pits from all this stuff, and you're gonna be automatically focusing on the worst parts of everything, and yourself.
And the best cure for that is to stuff yourself with delicious stuff until your brain kicks things back to normal.

Or even just as a visitor.

Still, can't hurt to be mindful of her own obnoxious energy.]
I've been a few times, but I don't go enough to know everything. I live in Genessia City, personally. Also gotta admit that I don't know too much about horses myself.
