I told you they worked. Hey, can you hear this?

[She is rapping her fist against her side of the wall, one room down in temp housing.]

[sarcasmbender]

Sorry, I wanted to test it on my own.

Yeah, I can hear it.

[viva_la_materia]

I guess that makes sense. What's-his-face could have been messing with us. Always good to double-check, right?

This is pretty cool, though. We could tap stuff out in code if we wanted!

[sarcasmbender]

It's kind of hard to believe someone who tells you about magic books that write themselves.

We'd have to make up a code in advance. Maybe we could make up a code to write in here too!

[Yay tactics planning!]

[feathered_earth]

Really? Well, I'm sure you'll find a way to put your toughness to good use here! It sounds like you might be a good Adventurer.

And there are some restaurants in the Bazaar, but you should probably find a good job first. You don't want to go through your money all at once.

[sarcasmbender]

What do Adventurers do? Just go off and have adventures all day?

[Faint ping.]

Yeah, I'll definitely have to go there since so many people recommended it. I just have to figure out what you do at every job.

[feathered_earth]

They explore the Wilderness--it's a place in Edensphere that changes completely a few times a month, so they see what's there and if it's safe for other people to travel to. And they look around some of the islands that people don't visit very often to see what's there.

I was an Adventurer for a while when I first came to Edensphere--it's an important job! They help out in emergencies too.

Hi Wolf! Like Krile said, if you're tough you'd probably be a good Adventurer. We have a lot of fun! We travel around and explore new islands that pop up, and we explore and chart the Wilderness whenever it changes to make sure it's safe for people to visit.

There are lots of good restaurants in the Bazaar. You should try the tea shop. They have good sandwiches.

[sarcasmbender]

The Wilderness... changes? How does it change?

Tea sounds good right about now.

[ruby_nova]

It changes every couple of weeks or so. Sometimes more, sometimes less. And when I say 'change,' I mean that everything is different. A few weeks ago it was a big city, and then it was a castle, and then a playground. It becomes all kinds of things.

There are lots of nice people working at the tea shop, too. I hope you like it!

[sarcasmbender]

That's really weird. Has anyone figured out why it changes?

[seeya_next_life]

Wow, another artist. Maybe I oughtta start taking lessons--I'm starting to feel left out. Welcome to the fishbowl, Wolf. I'm Lea; got it memorized?

[sarcasmbender]

I could probably teach you, but it seems like there are a lot of artists already.

Thanks, Lea. Memorized? Is there going to be a test?

[seeya_next_life]

Well, you never know when life is going to throw you a pop quiz, says I.

[sarcasmbender]

I guess this place itself is kind of like a giant test. Except you haven't studied and you forgot everything you've ever learned.

[Uh...]

2/2

[myownpath]

[Just... alright then.]

Hello, Wolf. I'm Gray.

The journal really is quite public. As I'm sure you see now.

I don't know about what the 'best', but there are a lot of places in the Bazaar.

Re: 2/2

[sarcasmbender]

I guess so. There are people having a conversation on my page and it just keeps going on. You can't control it at all?

[myownpath]

Afraid not.
