Hello, I wish you all safe and well. I hope you take the time to answer a couple of my questions.

I know there have been a lot of discussion around finding a job but is there one that is more appropriate for a thirteen year old?

Also, has anyone tried to do the combat quests yet? I want to know are they really as dangerous as they say it looks.

Finally, how do you deal with a familiar constantly likes to play pranks on you?

Thank you.

I'm wondering about the job situation as well, I'm in the same situation. Maybe there's a way to come up with things that we can do and it counts as a job?

[whatsamada]

I hope so because I want to be able to learn how to take of myself here.

I don't want to stay in the hotel forever.

[alchemists]

I understand wanting to find a different space, while the hotel is nice I would rather have a more personal space that can be changed up to meet my needs.

[whatsamada]

Oh really? Any reason why?

[alchemists]

I would like to have a research space, like how a lab is set up.

[dear god there's more children with no jobs. thirteen years old what on earth.]

What exactly are your job qualifications? Do you have any skills?

[Does learning how to fight since he was 10 count?]

I'm a pretty fast runner since I'm part of the soccer team back home. I also know how to be a quick thinker because I need to guess what my opponent will do next.

[jurisprudence]

I see. And you're currently staying in the provided lodgings? You have a place to stay.

[whatsamada]

Yes I do but I would much prefer to have some kind of income of my own.

Don't go on combat quests if you're thirteen years old. I'm serious.

I got mobbed by goblins. And I'm tracking a giant flaming cat. Kids should not be doing this crap.

Audio, UN Koromaru

[whatsamada]

I wasn't going to try it alone! I was wondering if there would be someone who would go with me at some point.

[Even he knew he couldn't handle it despite wanting to be taken seriously]

Taking on a giant flaming cat or goblins isn't something I can do by myself. [Which isn't completely true but...]

[theonlyrealthing]

Take your kids to work day.

[He heaves a sigh.]

All right. Next time quests come around, I'll try and find something appropriately non-lethal for a thirteen year old.

What kind of magic do you have? You'd better start practicing with it now.

[whatsamada]

[As much as Ken wanted to say something, he knew he couldn't. He really was just a kid no matter where he went, wasn't he?

If he knew only what he been through.]

I have animal magic but I know I need to start using it more. It's strange to be able to talk to animals now. [A pause] Not that I'm complaining though.

I don't really know what kind of jobs could be appropriate for someone your age, in my city it's normal to aid your parents in their shop or train as a knight when you're thirteen...

For the combat quest... no, I still do have to attempt anything, but I plan to eventually register for one. Perhaps you'd like to team up? How skilled are you in combat?

It's starting to look like I might have to do a couple of quests until there is something that comes up. Hopefully, I should be able to find something soon.

[Even if it bothered him a little knowing he was going to have to wait until then. However...!]

I know how to fight but I will admit, I might be a little rusty since I'm use to fighting mostly with others.

I can keep an eye open for job applications even for you... is there anything specific you'd be comfortable with?

I will also probably have to do a couple of quests, unless I can find someone who needs a bodyguard or help carving wood...

[He has various skills but those are the only jobs he'd truly feel confident taking.]

My offer will stand, if you need a partner for a quest feel free to contact me anytime. I'm Link of Skyloft.

I'm good with anything as long as it'll keep me busy. Although, I do feel a bit more comfortable anything involving animals since that's my ability.

But it's nice to meet you, Link-san! My name is Ken Amada.

I'm guessing you have experience with fighting then?

(Okay, he wasn’t expecting a thirteen year old like Ken to ask about jobs, but taking on combat quests alone sounds scary enough.)

I haven’t checked what kind of jobs thirteen year olds can take, but it is not impossible when you search high and low for one even if it takes some time. It actually took me a week and two days to find my current job at a local cafe. Part time jobs in various businesses are also possible as well.

Combat quests on the other hand? I am trying to see if I can find one this week. Just don’t attempt to do on your own, it can be dangerous at times if done alone. It’s probably for the best to have someone to have your back when things get tough.

[He just wants to learn how to take care of himself!]

Then hopefully I should be able to find one soon! I don't want to stay in the hotel forever!

For the combat quests, I wasn't planning on doing them by myself. I was asking if there might be someone who could join me. I'm use to fighting in groups and I wasn't sure if they were that difficult!

[phoenixwiz]

I’m on the same side as well, I don’t want to stay in the hotel for long either. For now, I am saving more than enough gold to find a place to live in that is not a hotel.

Hmm, that is interesting. It’s good to know that you have some experiences with fighting in groups before. If it is okay, I could join you whenever I have some free time. I have some experiences with fighting in groups back home as well.

[whatsamada]

Hopefully you'll be able to. I just want some kind of income at this point.

You do? What kind of fights have you been in?

[Should he be worried?]

[prismatically]

[whatsamada]

[r u d e]

That doesn’t make me want to tell you if you’re going to laugh.
