🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

1. What do you do for a living?

- I'm a journalist and a bit of a writer; but I suppose the latter can be said about most of the people in the realm, as we have the most literate nation in the world.

How do you like living in the capital?

- It's good. Everything you need is always close at hand, and people are less likely to complain about the fact that the city's prosperity is partly built on the blood of outsiders than they might in other cities.

Do you enjoy being in the thick of things, or is there really not that much news here?

- Work is work, and regardless of the intensity of the circumstances, my attitude towards it doesn't change.

Why is the newspaper called that? And the publishing house too (if it's not common knowledge)?

- The publishing house's name is our family name; this practice regarding names is common in all corners of the planet; as for the newspaper... What if I told you it was named after me?

How do you gather information for the newspaper?

- It depends on the topic and the type of information. If it's news, then I or my colleagues interview the people involved in the events, if necessary, we find out their addresses, investigate the scene of the incident, and so on.

How many employees do you have?

- Currently, there are sixteen of us here.

What are the criteria for hiring, and does membership in a guild have any influence on this?

- Membership in a guild doesn't matter. The most important thing is the ability to gather and analyze information, and then to convey it in writing in a readable format. There is also work that has nothing to do with creative activities.

What are the usual duties of a new employee who joins you? Working in the office or helping with information gathering outside the office?

- We have a very low employee turnover, and new employees don't appear often, so the duties will depend on the circumstances and our expectations of the new employee.

How much does it cost to publish a book or other printed material?

- It depends on the print run. On average, it will cost 1 rem per copy - this is regarding the cost price, and the details need to be discussed.

What would you recommend reading from what is available for sale?

- An interview with Lunamaria. But it's better to read the interview with Naria first, which can be found in the library.

- And yes, I also need your name," the young man added at the end.

- A truly wise statement! - the student nodded in agreement. - With your permission, I will record it in my memory for future social interactions. Undoubtedly, such a view of hobbies and collecting can give someone the missing life inspiration. - having fixed the last phrase in his head, he decides to add his own thought: - I think it's great when you find spiritual satisfaction in seemingly small things, from which, by the power of reason and imagination alone, you build a unique, multifaceted hierarchy. I don't really have that opportunity yet, but you should always expect things to get better. And now, can I have one card from each set, please? - he counts out 15 rem.

- Uh, I don't mind, you can take them, although you didn't really need my permission for that. The cards may be from any collection, and you can't know in advance which one you'll get, are you okay with that?
