Hello everyone, I hope that I'm doing this right. I will admit, I'm still getting used to using this, so please be patient with me.

I was curious, for those who struggle with reading or writing here: do you have any tips? I feel like I'm slowly making progress, but it's frustrating when you can't read most of what you find in the library. I think I saw something about learning, but I may be mistaken.

Alternately, is there anyone who wants to put together small study groups for those of us who aren't as proficient with reading and writing in Japanese? Does something like that exist? If not, would anyone be interested?

I'm in the library most days, if that's a convenient meeting place for you. I find it a comfortable environment for studying.

You're looking for work?

[rememberher]

[ ahaha, the library... that was... ]

Would it be possible to meet elsewhere? The library isn't the most convenient location for me.

And yes, I am. Prayers only supply so much steady income, and we're just getting started. Besides, I thought it might be nice to get out every once in a while.

[misterfrumpyface]

Certainly. Name a place.

Are you not concerned that you might be needed while you were working? Both gods and shinki have responsibilities as it is...

[rememberher]

I'll admit that I'm not quite familiar with specific locations, so anywhere you suggest should be fine. I just ask that we avoid the library for the time being, if that's all right.

It is a concern, but I want to be able to pull my own weight as well. Besides, it might be nice to have a few creature comforts, you know? I think it will be okay if it's only for a few hours a week.

apologies for my slowness orz

[misterfrumpyface]

[He can't fathom why anyone would ever want to avoid the library, but okay...]

It's fine. Perhaps the park?

I suppose there's little harm in trying it... but I can't help but feel those few hours a week would prove to be the few hours in which I was needed elsewhere.

no worries~

[rememberher]

The park should work just fine.

Perhaps, but I also can't stand just sitting still and doing nothing. We exist in this world, and I want to learn everything I can about it, and what better way than trying to live a life like anyone else? I know that we're different, I understand that, but I want to understand the people of the Near Shore; if I can't understand them, then how can I help them?

Making a little money is certainly a perk as well.

[misterfrumpyface]

Very well. Whenever you're ready.

...I suppose that is one way to learn about the world. I don't think understanding people is a requirement for saving them from ayakashi, though.

[rememberher]

Then I suppose that that is where we differ. Being able to understand what brings about those ayakashi is just as important as being able to save someone from them.

[misterfrumpyface]

Forgive me, I fear I wasn't very clear. Understanding is important, of course. I simply meant that a lack thereof need not stop you from helping others.

[rememberher]

In the short term, perhaps not. But being able to understand others, how they think and feel, and how ayakashi might take advantage of that, is helpful in the long term.

[misterfrumpyface]

I see. I suppose I'm more inclined to learn about this world and its people through study, but your method also has merit.

In that case, I wish you luck in your job search.
