[There are two sets of handwriting here–one careful, deliberate, the other slightly hastier. Still the message is fairly coordinated, and it’s not hard to imagine that the two people willing these words into existence are probably doing so from the same place (because they are).]

Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a good day. My name is Jayce Talis and I have a business in Cadens with my partner Viktor. We're inventors and scientists back home, and we've adjusted to life here creating a variety of objects that might be of interest to people. I'm a blacksmith so primarily my work involves blades, tools, both regular ones and multi-tools, shields, canes, and collapsible versions of everything I make as a family expertise.

[Viktor, for his part, is a bit more to-the-point.]

We’re also in the business of custom projects. Given an idea, I’m reasonably certain we would be able to bring almost anything from concept to completion. Within reason, of course–we’re still working under certain technological limitations, but if a particular tool or device is of interest to you, it’s worth describing to us. We’ll see what we can do.

We wanted to let people in Cadens know that you can come to us and request what you're looking for. We give 15% off everything for the Summoned, but if you're new to the area and can't pay, you can consider anything on loan until you can save up. No hurry, we know it's hard to get started. Unfortunately we're not 100% sure if they'll let us ship these things to the other locations right now, but if that changes we'll let you know. Sorry.

Something that’s also of interest to us is the general working conditions of the mines in Cadens. We have a few ideas for basic improvements and increased safety, but any work we do will require the removal of outdated equipment. Unsurprisingly, the government is not necessarily keen on funding such an endeavor.

So what we're hoping for are volunteers in Cadens who are willing to do some heavy lifting with us to get the dangerous old machinery out of there. It is a volunteer situation although we'd be happy to make you something in thanks.

If there is interest, Jayce and I plan to extend an invitation to our domain, to exchange notes. A meeting of the minds, of sorts, for those of us who are more scientifically-inclined.

We'd really love to pick the minds of fellow scientists, inventors, or tech experts from all locations.

Thank you for your time!

I have no idea if lawyer is a possibility here, but you could always ask and find out. There's no harm in asking.

No, you're right.

I'll ask. What's the worst they could say? No? Been told that plenty of times in my life.

If not we'll brainstorm something with you.

[ Jayce is very communal, as helpful as he can be. ]

Do you have other skills that you could sell?

( yes, but — )

My dad used to be a boxer. I'm sure some of that rubbed off on me.

How good of a fighter would you say you are? Are you good at self-defense?

Pretty good.


( heh. )

I can hold my own. I've been nearly mugged enough to not want that to happen. People tend to underestimate me because I can't see.

I'm just trying to think out of the box. There are a lot of good fighters here, but not that many who are training amateurs in self-defense, in case war actually does come around. But I'm not sure that's of interest.

I appreciate your suggestions anyway.

It might be something worth looking into. I know there's a military here and I could always look into helping there if I need something to do.

You could. Don't worry about being in a hurry until you've figured out something you want to do. Helping out at the inn will give you time to settle first.

Don't worry, I don't plan on marching down there and signing up.

I've made some stupid spur of the moment decisions before but I think I can hold off on this one.
