There seems to be a lot of newcomers recently. Welcome to Anatole you guys. At first glance it might be a little daunting or frightening, but I promise you there are people here that will help you with whatever you need. Don't be afraid to ask if you need anything, either.

[That's the aim of the game. The reality? He's not. But there's no point in showing that face to everybody when he never shows his true face to anybody where it can be avoided.]

You think so? I'll just be glad if that's helpful to anyone.

Hey, we've never met before. You're relatively new too, right? It's nice to meet you!

[Voice]

[knows_it_all]

You don't find it uplifting yourself?

Private. | Voice.

[onequarter]

The best I can be. . .

Of course.

Private. | Voice.

[knows_it_all]

Eh?! R-really??

Private. | Voice.

[onequarter]

Oh, you're surprised. But I don't think you'd be troublesome, and even living a human life, I do not require much. So there's room.

Private. | Voice.

[knows_it_all]

I'm not...

What I mean is, it's not surprising that you'd accept. Or maybe it is because you've already helped me once. But not that you'd help at all because you have helped in the past and you're a nice person...doesthatevenmakeany sense...?

[He hits his fist off his chest and clears his throat.]

Uh...anyway. I promise I won't take up a lot of space! I don't have a lot to bring, either. Just...two swords. One I'll have with me all the time, and the other is...special. And my clothes.

Hey, what I said, about being the best you can be. That seemed to stand out for you. Why's that?

[Voice]

[lock_your_heart]

So official.

[Voice]

[knows_it_all]

Someone's gotta be. It was just my turn, I guess.

[Voice]/[Video]

[lock_your_heart]

I'd say you're doing a great job. [Oh look, video function. She waves at him.] I'm a new arrival myself, so your efforts are appreciated.

[knows_it_all]

I'm glad you think so.
Tifa, right? Friend of Cloud's?
I saw you on the network. I would have said hello but
there were a few things going on at the time that
required my immediate attention.
If there's anything else you'd like to know about the
city just ask! You won't find a better go-to guy for
information around here. I won't even charge you.
I mean, if you're a friend of a friend and all, how
could I?

[yetsleeping]

Kunsel.

Are you okay?

[a stupid question. But.]

Private

[knows_it_all]

Better than okay, Pris. I'm SOLDIER.

[Meaning no, he's a long ways from okay, but he's made of stuff that won't crumble easily.]

Private

[yetsleeping]

I know.

And I know we haven't been all that terribly close, but... if you do need anything that I can help you with, please tell me.

Private

[knows_it_all]

Now that you mention it...

voice

[calamitousnaiad]

Thank you very much for all of this. It's kind of you to go to such an effort for those of us who've only just arrived.

You must be one of those people who is always willing to help someone in need.

voice

[knows_it_all]

Well, I'm definitely not one of those guys that isn't willing to help, you know? Anyway, I'm glad you found it useful. That's the most important thing.

Can I ask your name if you're new?

voice

[calamitousnaiad]

Hm. I suppose that is a fine distinction.

Of course. My name is Verity Kindle. May I ask yours?

voice

[knows_it_all]

Fine indeed!

And of course you can. My name's Kunsel. Just Kunsel. But if you call me hey you I will sometimes still respond.
