☀️ Arselia and Akonia

On Tuesday morning, Kalina catches up with Garrett when no one else is around.
- Hey, you scoundrel. Did you see the job in GP? Let's go do it. But first, let me read that book about the park, so I know where to expect trouble if things start to look promising.

— The park? Oh, you mean "solving problems." That sounds suspiciously like a hit. Do you think it's worth it? Well, take it and read it. You can put it in the library later; I'm tired of being bothered about this book. I'm going to do another quest in the meantime.

But how will she read it if she has no OD left? 😅 And I don't either, so I can't tell you.

Garrett goes to the journalists and fills out a questionnaire.

1. What is your name?
Garrett.
2. What is your gender?
Male.
3. How old are you?
26
5. Where are you from?
The edge of the world.
6. What is your profession?
Mercenary.
7. What are your views?
Two heads are good, but one head with a body is better.
8. What is your marital status?
Single.
9-A. Tell us about your favorite place in the city center.
The souvenir shop. If you want to buy a nice little trinket as a souvenir, this is the place to go.
9-B. Tell us about the most interesting person in the city center.
Delaphilla, the merchant in the souvenir shop. She has a collection of beautiful, shiny things. I wonder where she got them all.
10-A. Tell us about your favorite place on Emerald Alley.
It's hard to call it my favorite place because of the attitude of the staff there, but I usually buy things at Abundance.
10-B. Tell us about the most interesting person on Emerald Alley.
The mysterious craftsman who makes amazing wooden items.
11-A. Tell us about your favorite place in the parade district of the city.
The air dock. There's something about the ships that sail through the sky.
11-B. Tell us about the most interesting person in the parade district of the city.
Lotr Lost, the ticket seller. He appreciates engaging stories with a moral.
12-A. Tell us about your favorite place in the business district.
Iron. It's a great place for those who want to stay in shape. I'm not sure what it's like now, but in the past, you could get a monthly membership and work out as much as you wanted, which was very convenient.
12-B. Tell us about the most interesting person in the business district.
Dai Futo, the administrator of Iron. He's a recognizable figure, and he recognizes frequent visitors, which is a little flattering.
13-A. Tell us about your favorite place in the port.
Ogma's Bar. It opened recently. The selection isn't very large, but it's enough to satisfy different tastes. You can sit and think, or you can chat with the owner about rumors or just talk about anything.
13-B. Tell us about the most interesting person in the port.
Krag, the hellish blacksmith. His services are not cheap, but he can work with unusual orders. He's a true master of his craft.
14-A. Tell us about your favorite place in the suburban area.
They don't let you go to many places, but I think it's more interesting to visit Naria's villa than any of the academies.
14-B. Tell us about the most interesting person in the suburban area.
Princess Naria. She is an incredibly beautiful and talented woman.
15. What do you think about the policies of His Majesty Emperor Purian es Diesra Arual?
I've noticed that some services are provided free of charge to locals, while they charge exorbitant prices to visitors. It's understandable, but it's still a little unpleasant, although I must say that I've been to places where it's even worse. Apart from that, I don't really have any complaints.
16. Do you like living in Margel?
Yes, it's definitely better than wandering around in the sand or turning into an icicle in the snow.
17. Do you have an idol - someone you admire or simply respect deeply?
Building idols for yourself is not the best choice... However, Princess Naria is definitely someone to respect.
18. What is your favorite color?
Purple.
19. Favorite dish in the restaurants of Margel?
Kraken, the signature dish of "Young Drowned Woman."
20. What is your least favorite place in Margel?
The hospital. First of all, if you ever have to go there, that's a bad sign in itself. Besides, they can't handle serious injuries; they can only provide a little help, of course, for a hefty sum if you're not a local. I wouldn't be surprised if a bloodied visitor crawling in on his last legs had his pockets searched before they provided any help.
