smk_network[Okay. So Aziraphale's message was... less than helpful... and there are a lot of newbies this time around. So Eleanor decides to have another crack at a greeting to all of them.
So she sat on her couch in front of a plain white wall, nothing fancy. A framed candid photo of her and Rosabella hangs off to her right, below it is a picture of Mrs. Brisby. Dressed in a comfy plaid shirt, she gives the mirror a lop sided smile before she begins to speak.]
Hey everyone, I'm Eleanor and I'm just gonna get straight to the point:
Here's the deal. I'm not gonna sugar coat this for you - Things aren't the greatest right now. The townies hate us, which is just making everything a little harder. We're doing our best, but we've gotta work harder if we're going to win back their trust. I know all you newbies are probably getting sick of hearing about everything. There's a loooooot of info. Take it from someone who used to reading, uh, anything So here are some cliffnotes:
-You can get some food for free at places in town - it's good shit, too. That'll help til you get a job or someone to freeload off of.
-The Emporium has everything you might need - ask for me or Michael, we'll help hook you up.
-I'm sure you've already noticed, but the full moon makes things weird around here. Anyone who's a monster class starts looking and acting pretty wiggy. And... don't take it personally, they can't help it. On the new moon it's the exact opposite, so be nice.
-Most importantly: don't do any missions til you've at least tried to do magic... they suck ass if you don't know what you're doing. During my first mission, one guy blew up one of our tents and made the other one invisible. Seriously. You try finding an invisible tent in the dark. It's not fun.
[She gives the mirror a reassuring smile.]
Listen... I know it's a lot. Trust me. I didn't believe a single word of it until I saw the corroded with my own eyes and actually did magic for the first time. But you're not alone. If you want help with magic and shit there are a lot of us around you can talk to. Also, I'm gonna put out the same blanket offer I did a while ago. No matter how long you've been here, If you need someone to train with, talk to, hang out with, bitch at or whatever, I'm your girl. I work at the Emporium, but hit me up through the mirror any time. I'll buy the first round of drinks. Booze, tea, coffee, milk and cookies, a thimble of something, whatever.
[She pauses, biting her lip]
Uuuuhhh yeah that's about it. [Another pause] Fuck, I don't know how to end this without sounding either really lame or super awkward... except now I just made it awkward by saying that. [She facepalms] Just... bye. Okay? Bye.

Date: 2020-05-11 04:35 am (UTC)I'm not as good at speeches and stuff as Eleanor is, but I'm willing to help out too if anyone needs a training buddy or any general heavy lifting done. Or if you just wanna hang out some time, that'd be great too. Basically if you need me, just gimme a call; I'll try and help you out.
Re: [video]
Date: 2020-05-11 10:54 am (UTC)[It seemed unfair that Eleanor got a whole big message and Scorpia just had a smaller one. Plus, she looked friendly, and Connie's kind of training, logically, might be better from someone like Scorpia than Eleanor anyway. Shoot high and all].
So, my name is Connie, nice to meet you. I don't mind hanging out and all, but I DO really want to get started on training. It doesn't seem smart to try and go on a mission and not know how these things work, after all. When do you think we could do that?
Re: [video]
Date: 2020-05-18 10:40 pm (UTC)As for when, hmm... Well you'll probably want to do some training with your own class first, so any time after that, I guess? Just let me know. Though if you just wanted to hang out sometime, we could do that any time I'm not working.
Re: [video]
Date: 2020-05-19 11:44 am (UTC)Is that how you refer to it? Sure, we'll go with that.
Great! I could use a spar partner, but making friends is just as good! When are you free?

Anyway, right, meeting up. Well, I get off work in the late afternoon, so we could maybe we could meet up by the Carnation Cafe around 6:30? That way we could maybe grab a bite to eat too.

Their technology is fairly advanced, and because of their makeup they can breath in space unlike humanoids. It's kind of a long story.
[Sentient hair? That was cool!]
Sounds perfect! It's a date, Scorpia!
Re: [video]
Date: 2020-06-12 07:24 am (UTC)Wow, there's makeup that can do that? I bet Entrapta would love to try some!
And sure, it's a date!
Re: [video]
Date: 2020-06-12 03:42 pm (UTC)Great! Can't wait!
Re: [video]
Date: 2020-06-20 07:26 pm (UTC)Anyway, I'll see you there!
