[The feed comes to life, revealing a young man with a shock of red hair, blue eyes, and two very visible scars on his cheeks. He may look like something of a ruffian, but to those with a good read on people, his eyes betray forthrightness.]

So, I'll cut to the chase. The name's Adell, and I'm looking for work. I've been here for a couple of days, getting used to the whole thing, and... I think it's time I set my mind to something. Good recommendations for honest work are welcome. For those wondering what I'm good at, back home my title was Demon Hunter... so I'm good in a fight. I'm pretty strong too, so work requiring physical activity are fine. I'm not a mage, but magic and supernatural stuff are nothing strange to me. I'm pretty good at puzzles too. And... well, I do know a thing or two about farming, I guess. And I'm plenty willing to learn how to do other stuff and skills too.

...Another thing, does stuff like these eggs happen often around here? Because I thought the Netherworld was weird enough.

[Sharp eyed individuals might be able to see Adell's egg in the background with a blanket wrapped around it and kept by a light for extra warmth. Seems like he's chosen to take care of it.]

[ Ohhh boy, how can she succinctly describe all of what happened? That's the true question. ]

...tried to save the world.

[ Beat ]

Despite how it sounds, it's true.

[vulcanblazer]

[He smiles, and even laughs lightly. It wasn't that what she said was funny, just... more that he certainly was in no position to judge. Not that he would.]

Doesn't sound strange to me. I believe you. Doing that probably didn't leave much time for anything else.

[shadowfrost]

[ He's dead on about that. More than he has any right to be. She's even tempted to call it the understatement of the year. ]

You have no idea.

[vulcanblazer]

[A sobering statement, in a way, but one he can definitely understand. Though he was lucky enough to have a family to go back to and have the time for occasional rest, he knew very well that was a luxury. He had felt pressure to destroy the Overlord's Curse, especially toward the end, but... not every waking hour of the day was devoted to that pursuit until then.]

Probably not. I hope you succeeded before you ended up here, though...

[He doesn't want to think further about how much stress that'd cause. That idea had already crossed his own mind about Veldime, and he knew very well how much that would affect him.]

[shadowfrost]

We did, thankfully. So I can be here without regrets.

[ Without too many of them, that is. There's still a lot she wishes she could do back home, but as long as the biggest loose end is tied up nicely, the only way she can keep moving is forward. ]

[vulcanblazer]

I'm glad to hear that. Fortunately, me and my friends got rid of the Overlord that cursed my homeland before I ended up here too.

Good thing, too. I'm pretty sure I'd be one of those people demanding a way to be sent home right now if he was still running around.

[At least he was self-aware about it, if nothing else.]

[shadowfrost]

It's good to be free of those kinds of restraints. Even if you don't know what to do with such newfound freedom.
