Salutations, everyone!

On a scale from one to ten, one being "abysmal", ten being "I've had better", how has your week been, hmm?

I figure as long as we're all still sane enough and present enough, then that's all I can hope for.

When's it been better than a five for you?

[immortalaccursed]

Better than a five? Oh, it's been quite some time...

I work in politics.

[callada]

At home? Wouldn't have expected that, but I should have asked sooner. What sort of position?

[immortalaccursed]

I'm a chancellor.

Now, what would you have expected me to be?

[callada]

Given you keep to yourself so much, a less public figure. Someone comfortable enough with the darker side of civilization. And I don't mean that in an accusatory way, you could be law enforcement, or an investigator of some sort.

Chancellor though, huh. Weird question maybe, but what's that even like?

[immortalaccursed]

The parties are lively and the conversation is dull. I make a good show of it, of course, as I must.

Would it surprise you to know that I was a fair bit more gregarious at home than I have been here?

I've just been out of sorts lately.

I apologize if it seems I do not care about the well being of our fair...community.

[callada]

No time like the present to change things up, if you're interested in caring a little more obviously.

[immortalaccursed]

And how would I do that? Cut through the underbrush of the forest? Fight off a few spirits?

I'm neither a fighter nor an outdoorsman.

[callada]

Plenty here aren't. Ask around, see what people need. Help out at the lab, we sure as hell could use it.

[immortalaccursed]

The lab? I've little taste for laboratories, I fear.

[callada]

Sorry to hear that. Something specific against them?

[immortalaccursed]

They can be awfully stuffy, don't you think?

[callada]

Been in far worse. Anyway, you're not obligated. Just a suggestion.
