This is Sakurayashiki.

( it's not only a polite greeting to a new place, but what he can surmise is a good way to see if anyone from home is here without having to debase himself with pleas to get in touch.

that said, he's already looked through the network and not seen anyone, username nor person, who looks like his friends from home. so it's unlikely, but unlikely has never meant impossible. best to be prudent. )

I seek a partner to retrieve some holographic rocks with me. ( which sounds truly absurd and too much like the kinds of games and television he enjoyed as a child, but fine.

and more importantly... this is something of an inefficient system for discovering potential quest partners, but he's still brainstorming exactly how to improve it. )

You should have some level of physical fitness and the ability to interact properly with clients. Understanding of your magic is also an advantage.

( Kaoru, baby, it's not a job advert. also the only time you've touched your magic was at the training grounds, you hypocrite. )

Thank you for your time.

Dear Sakurayashiki,

I hope this message finds you well. I have read your request and, if you are still seeking a travel partner to visit the river, I would be most happy to fill the role.

I understand that you are concerned about compatibility for the trip; I believe I would be able to meet your requests, or at least not disappoint you unduly. The distance to the river is not so much as to render it an impossible endeavor. I have also kept studiously to my magic practices during my time here, though I would pray not to need it for a task as straightforward as this-- one hopes the trip will not be marred by danger.

Regardless of whether you find my company amenable, I would recommend visiting the river after the morning hours as Avalon's May fog needs time to dissipate and reveal the lovely scenery there.

Thank you for taking the time to read my response. May the day treat you kindly!

Yours sincerely,
Rinea of Rigel

Dear Rinea-san,
I'm honoured to receive your correspondence and would be delighted to share in your company for the journey.

While one hopes there is no need for magic in this trip, I do believe it best to be prepared at all times. Might I ask which schools of magic you use? For your reference, I have animal and technological magic.

( he's sure someone out there is laughing at his designation as an animal magic user, finding it so funny. )

Given current weather patterns, I would suggest we set out after breakfast, perhaps at ten am. My personal estimation is that travel should take no more than a day, though I will defer to your expertise in that matter.

( he's pretty sure the map function on this phone is right, but hey! )

Thank you likewise for your interest, I hope we can arrange a meeting for this trip in due course.

Yours Sincerely,
Sakurayashiki Kaoru

[Oh, he replied! He sounds much nicer than she expected. Maybe he was just nervous in his first post?]

Dear Sir,

Thank you very kindly for your message! I am happy to answer your questions.

I was bestowed with the magic types Alchemy and Kinetic. Alchemy is my foremost skill; I fear I am still a mere beginner with kinetic. Recently I have also successfully worked in potioncraft, albeit the result is for medical emergencies. I am happy to bring a dose for safety.

I agree that our foray to the river would be a day trip at most. As you have so noted in your letter, I understand that you are also staying at the inn? That is fortuitous; it should make meeting to travel together quite simple!

If you find all of this satisfactory, I am sure I can meet you at the inn's entrance on the morrow.

I look forward to your reply!
Rinea of Rigel

( wording it the same way he would word a job advert seemed the correct option at the time. )

Dear Rinea-san,
Excellent. I'd be interested to learn more about this potion once we meet.

( are those actually words he just typed with his actual fingers? good lord. )

That time is satisfactory. I wish you a good night's rest in preparation for our journey.

Yours Sincerely,
Sakurayashiki Kaoru
