[There's a bit of movement as he checks to make sure it's working, before running a hand through his floppy blonde hair to show blue eyes and flash a cheery smile.]

Good evening!

I saw a post on the bulletin board earlier as I was walking past about positions at the Casino.  I realize... I have not much time left in my residence, and as such, would

A balloon ride. Honestly?

I can't imagine that would be safe here. From what I've seen, barely anything is very good.

[Fai laughs]

You're right - it doesn't seem like this place is all entirely safe, and with my luck, the thing will probably drop out of the sky without a mment's notice, but if I need to, I have backup plans.

No one really seems interested in the rides, so I think me checking it out would allow for some interesting conversation with the balloon ride owner.

What kind of backup plans can you have while floating through the air in a rickety contraption?

You're not very direct, are you.

[melodious_magic]

....safe ones? [He smiles through the video, obviously not giving any of his secrets away. Placing the Forge on a table, he leans on the surface beside it, resting his chin on his palm.]

Direct has never been one of my strong points.

None of my business, anyway.

Where's this balloon that everyone's talking about?

[melodious_magic]

It's somewhere by the carnival grounds, I think. Generally it's noticable by the big colourful balloon. Definately stands out in a brick and mortar town like this.

I haven't left the place I woke up in yet.

Probably too noticeable. I'd prefer not to stick out.

[He shrugs, before running another hand through his hair]

With what's been going on around here, it'll be nice to get out and do a little exploring. I'd recommend it, so as to avoid Cabin Fever, hmm?

I'd prefer to stay inside until I won't attract quite so much attention.

[He turns on video for a moment to show pale skin and ripped bloody clothing.]

[Fai blinks in surprise, before leaning into the screen worriedly.]

W-what happened? Do you need help?

[stray_gunner]

I'm fine now. Got some clean clothes.

It's not as if this hasn't happened to me before.

[melodious_magic]

[He looks disgruntled by this fact]

Even if you're used to it... well, actually, it's not too great that it's happened before. You sure everything's alright? Did it happen to you here in Anatole?

[I mean, I know the locals are hostile, and there are dangers around, but that looked a little more harsh than normal]

[stray_gunner]

No. Not here.

[And then he completely fails to clarify any further.]
