Sokka the 44th - [Voice]

[Locked to Brave Vesperia]

Hey- it's Karry, right? The guide says your guild does odd jobs and stuff like that. You guys still in business?

... right, Karol. Anyway, you're still in business?

You bet we are! So what do you need?

Good, good! Do you guys know anything about making signs?

Yeah, we do!

Good! Okay, you know how New Feathers go around being lost and stuff? I was thinking it would be a good idea to put signs up at ever street crossing and maybe places in between, with simple arrows pointing to stuff in town. Like... [He writes this down below]

Houses 1-15 >
Community Building 7 <
Plaza ^

What do you think?

Hmm... [The gears are moving in his head right about now...]

...Yeah! That's a great idea! I'm surprised someone didn't think of that sooner!

Ahh, you think maybe we should stick some signs out in the forest too? Like, near the river and such?

[Edward has no business being in the woods, but...]

Sure! It would help with the New Feather stations too. Of course, I'm willing to do part of the work too, I just can't do it all by myself.

Any preference on when we start?

The sooner, the better. We have no idea when the New Feathers will stop, after all.

Got it! Then we'll start on it... next week?

Well if that's the soonest we can start...

Well, we need to finish up this other project first...

{Oi... Sokka changes the filter to private.]

Look, you can't tell anyone about this, but this project isn't just for New Feathers. My friend was returned from dying, but he's lost his sense of direction. These signs might be the only way he can navigate the village without getting hopelessly lost for hours.

... [Ooh, that's heavy. But it's a noble purpose.]

...It's not a guild's job to worry about their client's motives, and it's definitely not any of our business to tell other people what those are.

So your secret's safe with us.

[That's all very professional, but...]

So you get why I want to start as soon as possible, right? Until it's done, he can't go anywhere on his own.

Yeah, we'll get it done, don't you worry. You won't regret asking us!

I guess I should make this official, then.

I accept this task in the name of the brightest star in the sky, Brave Vesperia!

[... uh huh. Sokka just raises an eyebrow at that.]

Scientifically speaking, you could just shorten that by saying "in the name of the sun in the sky", given that on just about any world, the sun is the brightest star in the sky.

That sounds dumb. It doesn't have the same ring to it!

Besides, on my world, Brave Vesperia is the brightest star in the sky.

[He'd argue the point about how a star could be brighter the sun without effectively causing the world to have very little night time, but whatever.]

Just let me know when you get started, I can help out on the work.

Yeah, I'll make an announcement on the journal.

Thanks! And if you ever need anything at the smithy, just let me know!
