[Yes, it is rather easy to send one of these out when you have the internet back home. Connie was a little vexed that there was no network quite like that here, but she'd make do].
Ok, I know that most of the people here have a lot of questions about how things work and how to fight and all, and so far there have been plenty of you who have graciously given us answers and time (I'm very grateful to specific people here like Mr. Crackshell and Webigail and Princess Deetz, but many of you really helped, thank you). I have a different type of question though.
For those of you who live here and work, how easy is it to do all of your magical studies and keep a stable job? Back home I have to be attending college, but I'll be living on campus. That's different from working here and living AND learning about magic.
Basically, how do you budget your time? Any tips?

[Connie was a bit of a nerd, thank you, so she was guessing he might not be able to SAY his name. He did say he was a demon, after all].
Hmm. So I guess you won't let me call you Shoggoth, huh? Or Shog? Gothy?

[And an over-the-top bow to finish it all off.]
Oh, no. I forgot that’d also make you Duchess of Connecticut. My bad.
[He’s sure he’ll be on the receiving end later, especially considering his entire name was broadcast earlier, but, he couldn’t resist. ]

People get a little freaked? Not a big deal. They’re still alive, right?
[He made a face.]
Shoggoth is fine. Not “Gothy” , that’s how I describe Lydia, and “Shog” sounds like a failed muppet.
no subject
Date: 2020-05-11 11:54 am (UTC)He's still tasting people though, and it would be different if he just got here. But he's been here sometime. He ought to know NOT to taste.
From their point of view, you are making the situation of being pulled into a world without your consent much, much worse. So a bad day becomes compounded. It's just consideration for us newbies.
Heh ok. Shoggoth it is!

Date: 2020-05-11 12:09 pm (UTC)[He tilted his head.]
Can’t pronounce the B-name, huh?
no subject
Date: 2020-05-11 12:23 pm (UTC)[Connie had actually been pretty calm about it].
Oh I can, but the last name is way more fun, don't you think?
no subject
Date: 2020-05-11 12:33 pm (UTC)[Said the entity who welcomed two recently deceased to being ghosts by hugging and trying to make out with them. He had empathy for the weird boundaries thing.]
More fun? Maybe? Easier to spell, that’s for damn sure.

Date: 2020-05-11 07:13 pm (UTC)Well yeah, it sounds kind of Dungeons and Dragons, you know?
no subject
Date: 2020-05-11 08:08 pm (UTC)[He hummed.]
What, that nerd game with dice and numbers? Level 12 whoozy-whatzits and level 23 whatzy-whoozits?
I'm offended. I will eat a 20 sided die in protest.
no subject
Date: 2020-05-11 08:32 pm (UTC)I mean. It's much more than that when you break it down to classes and attributes and player imagin-never mind.
You could, but what would it accomplish? Now, spitting it out at someone, that might be pretty funny.
no subject
Date: 2020-05-11 08:37 pm (UTC)I mean, we can only hope for his sake. He'd be so happy!
[A dramatic hand wave.]
What would it accomplish? I'd get to eat an icosahedron.

Date: 2020-05-11 08:46 pm (UTC)He seems really sweet, if a little off the wall.
Right, and then what?
no subject
Date: 2020-05-11 09:41 pm (UTC)[He gave her his best off-kilter grin.]
My honor will be sated.
no subject
Date: 2020-05-12 10:51 am (UTC)[Probably never going to happen].
Good luck then!
So...what places are actually open for exploring?
no subject
Date: 2020-05-12 10:57 am (UTC)Stop by for a tour, I’ll show you Lydia’s gallery too.
[It was the only stop that got a legit description.]
no subject
Date: 2020-05-12 11:24 am (UTC)[So she'd heard anyway].
Ok! I'd love to get a better idea of what the town is like!
no subject
Date: 2020-05-12 11:45 am (UTC)So, I go for stripes, instead.
Anyway, sure. Come by for my next shift. Ignore the dirty looks from the yokels, they’re what we call ‘ingrates’.
no subject
Date: 2020-05-12 12:34 pm (UTC)Oh, I see. Better to avoid it then.
I'll do that. For now.

Date: 2020-05-12 01:37 pm (UTC)Um, good for them for not being a murder suicide?
Has anyone ever told you your humor is pretty dark?
no subject
Date: 2020-05-12 01:50 pm (UTC)Oh, yeah, like, all the time!
But it really was cute.
no subject
Date: 2020-05-12 11:19 pm (UTC)How did they die?

Date: 2020-05-13 12:14 am (UTC)But at least they were together?
