So uh... Hey everyone. Again.
[He could probably get a better opening line, but whatever. Moving on.]
I know like, a bunch of people just arrived so... Welcome, I guess. We're still working on the newbie's guide to waking up in a cave-city run by gods, but until then like, if you have any questions I can try and help? Also uh, it's probably safe at this point and we're just being paranoid, but you may want to avoid eating any meat products you find here. For reasons.
[MOVING ON.]
Also uh, sort of related, but I was thinking that maybe before next month we should really... Plan some way to help out? I mean, people just sort of show up and half the time there's monsters too, and... Maybe some sort of organized thing for helping the new people not get like, eaten or whatever would be a good idea.
[This is not exactly his area of expertise, so if other people want to take charge on this he's more than happy to let them, but otherwise he'll try and figure something out. It really seems like something important to get established.]
In uh, a rare moment of good news though, the whole coffee thing worked out. So if you want coffee there's some at Delight's bar now, though you'll have to like... Be kind of patient with me and the others being possibly terrible baristas. Still kind of getting the hang of the whole thing.
[But surely coffee itself is well worth any less-than-practiced customer service; they're at least pretty good at making coffee, including somewhat elaborate drinks, and as far as Chris is aware they're all trying. That's what counts, right?
Right?]
I think that's about it, except for that like... If anyone's curious, the handheld games from the arena this month are just normal games. I thought maybe they'd be some sort of weird alien-versions of them, but I guess not; I took one apart and it was all the expected stuff inside it.
That said I'm totally betting I can beat anyone's high scores.

[He's not sure. Maybe during winter break while he was at his parents' house? That'd be...
Over half a year.
He decides not to think about that, refocusing on what Tyki is saying.]
You worked for an Earl?
[video]
[Steaks, wine, good food in general. Ugh, he so wants it.]
I am a Lord. The head of my family is an Earl. It is only natural to work for the family if only for social obligations.
[video]
[Not that he's complaining; he'd love pizza. At least they can find ramen here off and on.]
Okay, I admit I have like... No idea how any of the titles work, but it sounds interesting. What uh... What exactly do you do?
[video]
[Noble life came with exceptionally high quality food. Chances are he's seen ramen but pizza? Probably not.]
Anything he wants. Sometimes jobs of recruitment or sealing deals. Sometimes it is just the matter of accompanying him and bolstering the family's reputation. [Some of the odd jobs were killing but that was just because the enemy was the enemy.]
[video]
[He means that as affectionately as possible, ramen.]
Huh. So it's like, a lot of political-ish stuff?
[video]
[He's been to Edo and lived there for a good portion of his life. He's also talking about the kind you don't find in little packages.]
Mostly. Some balls, some trips and things.
[video]
[He's not totally sure.]
Is that sort of thing fun, or...?
[Or is it just obligation?]
[video]
[Forgive him. He's poorly educated. He never really went to school. Just enough learning to read and write.]
It can be if it is something I want to do. The meetings and long talks can be tiring on the mind.
