[ the feed comes on by itself. ahiru hasn't realized she's turned it on as she's pouring over these pamphlets intently, talking out loud because that's just how she functions. ]
Okay, so to get food, I need to make money. To make money, I need a job . . . What do they have?
[ she looks over the first pamphlet. ]
Healer! That doesn't sound so bad! Something something . . . "mini . . . ministration . . ." Blood? Eugh, no.
[ she tosses that one aside. ]
Next one . . . Hunter.
[ a beat. she stares at it. it stares back at her as if it knows her secret. she immediately scrunches it up, tossing into the trash can because she's not an animal.
( just a bird. that people may hunt?? duck confit is a thing. ) ]
This one! This'll be the one! Arcane scholars . . . "They either wish to consume all the knowledge they can or share all the knowledge that they can." . . .
[ another beat. she sighs. ]
Well, I'm not smart enough to be one of those. Aaaah! I'm never going to get a job! I'm going to starve! I'll never be able to have bread agaaaaain.
[ doom is clearly at hand. ]

Thank you.

And here I've been prattling on, sharing what wisdom I can, while I've been anything but a gentleman and failed to introduce myself.
Call me Wesker. I'm an old friend of Luz Noceda, if you know here.
no subject
My name is Ahiru.

[The device might blink and the video comes up, showing a blond man in a black suit, his royal blue shirtsleeves rolled back, a weasel with a whitish glow about their eyes perched on his shoulder.]
It's a pleasure to meet you.
[He bows his head and tips one black half-gloved hand politely as he speaks.]
no subject
I-It's nice to meet you too! Thank you again for all your help.
no subject
It's an honor.
["Oy, she's a cute bird," the weasel says.]
Cypher, be a gentlebeast to the young lady. [He glances at the weasel, almost like a Lord with a bumbling servant.] Don't mind my Omen: he's everything I'm not.
no subject
[ not her! clearly! she manages to restrain a "quack" thankfully. ]
no subject
[To the weasel, he adds] Meaning essentially he referred to you as a cute cute girl.
["Boss, yer 'arsh on me jokes," the Omen objects, but the boss ignores the critter, outside of smirking at the linguistic gaffe.]
no subject
Well, it's still nice to meet you Mr. Cypher and Mr. Wesker.
no subject
meetcher!. the Omen gets up onto its hind legs and bows, one paw on his chest, the other behind him.]
Technically, it's Doctor Wesker, but I don't stand much on titles either, except when I'm working at the Lumenarium.
The pleasure's mutual.
