Addressed to All Heroes

[rialynn]

Happy Starlight to you all!

This month, Naminé and I got a request from one of the Heran kids who wants to make dolls of all the Heroes of Light. It's a really cute idea! So we're going to submit some sketches based on the open files at the lab. We can't access the locked files, though, so if your file is locked and you don't mind having your sketch done, please come see us? It would help a lot!

Secondly, I've been working on my Blue Mage job, and since the Old Man (is it really right to capitalize his name? What IS his name?) at the Monster Arena wants Calamity versions of all the monsters, I figured I might as well go for it. The ones I'll be chasing will be the Sahagin first, and if that goes well enough, I'd like to go after a Dragon too. If you have any sort of healing abilities, that would help a lot, since the key to learning the spell is having it hit you, and then surviving. I can't say I'm looking forward to that part, but if it leads to a strong skill that can help out in the future, let's do it.

There are other monster skills I'm looking to add, so if you're going after any of the other Calamity monsters, I'd be glad to help out. The ones I'm aiming for are the Behemoth, Cactuar, Long Gui, Dragon Zombie, Iron Giant, and Yellow Elemental, but as long as we're not going after a Geezard, I'm on board for whatever you need!

Sincerely,
Rialynn Kollmann

[OOC: We can handwave the portraits, or if you want CR with Rialynn and Naminé, we can make that happen too!]


Dear Santa,

I guess you're the one I need to talk to about getting a loan, is that right? I need to pick up one of those Experience Orbs if I'm going to make the most of my jobs, and I think they're 100,000 each. So...how does this work? How much do I need to pay you back, and how often? I can also search for rare items if you'd prefer to be repaid that way, as I'm sure to pick up something good eventually if I'm hunting monsters to get their Blue Mage skills.

Hope you're doing well!

Sincerely,
Rialynn K.

Dear Rialynn,

I've got some sketches of various heroes already if you and Naminé wanted to take a look. I also have some photographs, although a lot fewer. Sewing is one of the things I do as a hobby here, among other things, so if I can help please let me know?

Sincerely,
Lydia Deetz

Dear Lydia,

Sketches would be great! Do you mind loaning them to the Heran boy who made the request? I'll see to it that you get them back.

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but what's a photograph? Never mind, Kunia just told me. Those sound great too, I'd love to see what they're like. Feel free to drop by any time!

Sincerely,
Rialynn K.

Dear Rialynn,

Photography is my favorite hobby. It's been hard to do here, mostly because of the lack of film. I can develop it on my own, but that requires me to have film. I'd be happy to share them with you. I can also lend out the sketches, provided I do get them back.

Sincerely,
Lydia Deetz.

[rialynn]

Lydia,

That sounds perfect, thank you! Of course I'll return them, good as new. I'm curious to see what they look like in any case. We're at the lab if you want to swing by, or I can meet you somewhere after we've finished our work here. Whichever works best for you!

Sincerely,
Rialynn K.

Rialynn:

If you're going to look at my file, I have to be with you. There's some things I don't want people to read

-Ales

[rialynn]

Ales,

That's understandable. But if you're with us, we won't need to look at your file at all, so long as you don't mind holding still for a bit while we make our sketches. Thank you!

~Rialynn K.

[umslay]

Rialynn:

I would appreciate that.

It shouldn't take too long to sketch me.

-Ales

[rialynn]

Ales,

Great! Stop by whenever you've got a chance, then. We look forward to seeing you!

Rialynn,

I dunno if I wanna have to pose like some French girl, but if the kid can wait until after Christmas, my creepy roommate will have legit photos they can use. My action figure better be awesome, though.

As for the loan, McDuck Bank policy is that Heroes of Light need to have a native cosigner for any substantial loan, so that you can't, you know, Crystallize and not pay it back. Find somebody who's willing to put their credit on the line, and then you can both come by the bank and we'll work out a payment plan for you.

-Santa

[rialynn]

Santa,

A native? I don't think I know any people here well enough to ask them something like that.

[There are some illegible scribbles here, but he might make out the word 'summer' somewhere in there.]

Could I assign ownership of my belongings instead, should I die? My horse alone would probably be worth a lot more than 100,000 gil, since it's the only one of its kind on this world.

~Rialynn K.

[21stcenturyguy]

Ok, if you're willing to put up your horse as collateral, I could make that work. I don't think animals disappear when their heroes crystallize. I'll also need proof of employment to make sure you're making enough to pay it back. Last two paychecks should do.

-Santa

[rialynn]

Sure, that sounds great! Saori can vouch for me.

One tiny little problem! What's a paycheck?

~Rialynn K.

[21stcenturyguy]

If you're not getting paid, you should be talking to a lawyer, not a banker.

-Santa

[rialynn]

Santa,

What? I didn't say I wasn't getting paid, I've just never heard of a paycheck before. I'm a bard, most of my money comes from the people who watch the show. What I do for Saori isn't something I'm charging for, Barkeep was a good friend and I want to help keep his business going in case he wakes up again. Does that clear things up?

Rialynn K.

[21stcenturyguy]

Rialynn,

Ok, I need you to at least give me an estimate of how much you earn on an average night. Come to the bank and I'll help you figure it out. And be glad we don't gotta pay taxes here.

-Santa

[We can handwave it from here if you want. Santa will finagle to the paperwork so Rialynn can get her loan.]

[unyieldingspirit]

Rialynn,

Of course I'll help! With the monsters, and the dolls, if you wish. It's a grand idea.

- K'pandolu

[rialynn]

Hey Roomie! Why are we writing to each other when we live in the same house? Ha!

[Doesn't stop her from doing it anyway.]

Yes to all of the above. You've really done a lot for me, is there anything I can do to repay the favors?

~Rialynn K.

[unyieldingspirit]

Why not?

[Sika thinks it's silly, but she's getting a giggle out of it, so she doesn't mind.]

Well- you don't have to, but if you're going past the fabric store, could you pick up a few balls of wool for me?

- K'pandolu

[rialynn]

That's it? You can ask for something bigger than that, I don't mind!

~Rialynn K.

P.S. Hopefully you're not sick of listening to me play the piano. Feel free to tell me to back away from the instrument at any time.
