[ At first the screen is black, though the audio does pick up a few noises in the background. But eventually something moves away from the camera, revealing a pink hedgehog girl who still fiddles with the device before placing it down. ]

Ah, there we go. [Taking a moment to clear her throat, the girl then smiles as a blue bird lands on her shoulder. ] Hey guys! My name is Amy Rose and this [she gestures to the bird. ] is my familiar, Lily!

I just arrived a couple of days ago, so I'm still trying to take everything in. But I thought I'd ask what kinds of fun things there are to do around here. It's been a while since I've had some free time for myself, and wanted to see what other things I could do besides just training my magic.

[ She pauses a moment, glancing off to the side. ] Hm...now that I think about it, I'm probably gonna have to find a way to earn money too...

[For a moment, Ken stared at the screen before raising an eyebrow or two. He shouldn't be surprised but it's not everyday he sees a pink hedgehog around!]

That depends on what kind of things you like? There's always video games you can play and various places where you can train.

[And on that note?]

As for the money, it depends on what kind of things you're good at too?

[pricklybloom]

Well, I generally I like cooking, baking, shopping, and fortune telling. But I mostly just like excitement, so I'll try just about anything!

And I'm also good at the things I mentioned, plus I've gotten pretty good at fighting, although I'm not sure how marketable that really is.

You can earn money by doing quests. There's an -- app, on the phone, that will tell you what needs to be done. It's enough to get by.

[As if he could even begin to help with the 'fun' thing.]

[pricklybloom]

Oh yeah, I think I've seen a few of those quests. A couple of them did sound pretty interesting, so I might take a look.

But I'd probably still have to find a way to earn money between quests, right? That's mostly what I'm worried about.

[mithrarin]

Sometimes there's some long-running things, like helping farms or with repair work. Otherwise, it all depends on how much money you actually need to get by. They at least give people places to stay.

[pricklybloom]

Yeah, I'm staying at one of the free places right now. Still, it would be nice to earn some extra money, just in case.

[ IE: for shopping. ]

But I'll definitely keep that in mind, thanks!

Well, besides from training, there are plenty of things to try out: there is a great karaoke bar that host bi-monthly mingles, plenty of shops to buy stuff, take part in quests in the QuestBoard app, and you can camp out in the forests. Say um, what kind of hobbies do you engage back in your world?

As for job employment, that would depend on what skills you have on hand and what you’re interested in. Or you can just work at a cafe like I do.

[pricklybloom]

I did a lot of adventuring, back home! Though I doubt that I'd be able to earn money that way, besides maybe some of the quests. But other than that I like cooking and baking, and fortune-telling. Oh, and shopping, of course!

[ Hence the need for money. ]

A cafe might be a good place to start, though. [ Especially if they also sell baked goods. ] They wouldn't happen to be hiring where you work, are they?

[phoenixwiz]

I’m glad to hear it. The great thing about taking quests in Avalon is that you get to earn some gold along the way upon completing them. Fortune telling does sound pretty amazing to do, though I am not an expert at it. Glad to be of any help.

Oh absolutely, they have open job slots right now. I’m pretty sure that they’re looking for anyone who’ll be wanting to help out: it does get very busy in there.

[pricklybloom]

I'll definitely have to take a look at those quests sometime then. And I'm pretty good at fortune telling, if I do say so myself. [ Not to toot her own horn, but... ] I usually use tarot cards, but it's been a while since I've actually done any fortune telling. I'll have to brush up a bit on my skills since I have some time.

Sounds pretty good! What's the name of the cafe? Do they serve food there?

[Hey there fellow hedgehog person.]

Miss Rose, fun tends to be dependant on the person.

[pricklybloom]

C'mon, Shadow! You don't need to be so formal. Just Amy is fine.

And yeah, that's true, but since everyone has a different idea of fun, I thought I'd see what other people enjoy and try them out!

[ringsthatbind]

Hm.

[He'll be as formal, or not, as he feels like.]

Well then, I hope you find something entertaining in the replies you get.

[Because Shadow's idea of fun is no fun at all.]

[ naoto waves, first and foremost. he’s got manners after all. ]

Nice meeting ya, Amy, Lily! I’m Naoto, and that’s my familiar over there… [ he jerks a thumb at his currently sunbathing kitsune. what a great first impression. ]

As for your question… there’s a lot of things really. The karaoke bar, the quest board app, even just helping out people here and there, actually! I normally give out my cafe’s leftovers, though, so if you want to stop by and pick up some food, you’re free to!

[pricklybloom]

Hey, Naoto, nice to meet you!

People have mentioned the quest board app, so that's something I gotta check out. And someone else mentioned the karaoke bar too, so that's on my list! And I do like helping people out...

[ Looks like there's more to do than she thought. Which is good, because she hates being bored. ]

That's really nice of you, thank you! What kind of food do you sell at your cafe? Do you make it there yourself?

[divinereaper]

Yeah, the quest board does a lot to break monotony, so I actually kinda like checking it from time to time.

[ he nods with a smile- he really hates wasting food, after all. ] Mostly desserts, with some savory snacks to balance out all the sweet. And yeah, I make a lot of them, along with all the tea blends. I only opened… maybe two months ago now? I think? My sense of time’s all warped, I think…

[An eleven year old girl with pale lilac eyes with no visible pupils answers. A black and orange lizard that looks a little over a foot long sits atop her head.]

Hello Amy Rose. My name is Hanabi. [She points to the lizard perched on her head.] This is Enmei, my familiar.

I just got here about the same time as you. I don't know about fun...but it's probably a good idea to explore the area and learn our way around here.

[pricklybloom]

Nice to meet you Hanabi and Enmei!

Yeah, I've done a little looking around, but there's a lot to see around here. You wanna look around together sometime? It's nice to have company too.

[usedforcepalm]

Yes, let's do that.

[She's quiet for a moment before mentioning something that had come to mind.]

I was going to look for books about the local plants. I want to know what's edible and what's poisonous.

[fatednottobetamed]

I see you and Shadow found each other. Don't let him go too hard on you, alright?

[pricklybloom]

[ She grins a little. ] No worries, Rouge. I've got this.

But how about you? Have you gotten settled in okay?

[ Even though she knows the bat can take care of herself, since she and Shadow are her only friends from back home Amy can't help wanting to look out for them. ]

[fatednottobetamed]

For your sake, I hope you do.

And I'm establishing myself quite well, thank you.

You know, I've seen cat people and lizard people, but you're the first hedgehog person I've seen.

[pricklybloom]

Really? I have a friend here who's a hedgehog too, and he's been here longer than I have.

Then again, he's not exactly a social person, so that might be why you haven't seen him.

[fireandhoney]

Can't say that I've met him, no.

As for stuff to do, there's nature trails, tea houses, and a library.
