I've been here for a while now, and this is still disturbing to read through.

[nihonjika]

And that's not even everything. [Sigh.]

[wind_wielder]

Probably for the best. You don't want to overwhelm them completely.

[nihonjika]

They won't need our help with that.

[wind_wielder]

No, they don't. Hopefully they'll actually read this, because I do get tired of repeating myself. [Since there are always some that just won't read all the nicely presented information.

[nihonjika]

Hopefully. [He doesn't seem all that optimistic about it, though. Damn newbies, making him do all this work and then forcing him to explain it again later anyway.]

[wind_wielder]

I'm not holding my breath. Part of the kid's welcoming committee now?

[nihonjika]

Depends on what you think a welcoming committee is.

[wind_wielder]

Not totally sure what they're up to, but I'm amused by the image of you giving tours.

[nihonjika]

Sora can do that if he wants. I don't give tours.

[wind_wielder]

You have no sense of adventure.

[nihonjika]

I'm sure I'll survive. Somehow.

[wind_wielder]

But what a boring existence.

That aside, checking on new arrivals isn't a bad idea. The welcoming committee idea might have some other merits to it, if it's done right.

[nihonjika]

Right up my alley.

Most new arrivals need more than information, and Sora's perfect for that sort of job.

[wind_wielder]

I'm thinking less on getting them settled and more about knowing if a new problem has shown up.

[nihonjika]

[You're the second troublesome woman to be more on-the-ball than him today. Shika fears he's slipping.]

I doubt Sora will like thinking about it that way, but you have a point.
