[It's the local blue woman once again on your network making a post.]

So let's say you're trying something new, and I mean super new. You've never done anything like it before...

[A beat.]

And I don't mean a sex thing! [JUST TO CUT THAT OFF AT THE PASS.] Like a legit way to make money, a work thing. Would you just keep going at it on your own or ask for help?

[This is her way of asking for help without asking, ha ha ha.]

It depends on how it was going really. If things seemed to be going pretty good, then keep at it and you'll improve with time. But if you're having trouble, or need help, then there's nothing wrong with asking for help.

Basically, since it's something new, just watching a few others might be all you need, or a few pointers could be just the thing to get a better grip on what you're doing.

[riptidequeen]

So far it's not going at all. [She laughs a bit awkwardly.] I'm still working out the whole idea?

[better_goodbyes]

Doing a little research ahead of time isn't bad. It can help you decide whether it's right for you before you dedicate much time to it.

Some jobs just aren't right for everyone. Though it does make now the perfect time to ask questions about it.

[riptidequeen]

Well it has to do with art, which I do for fun and such.

[So part of it is something she already knows what to do!]

It's the technicalities I'm having trouble with.

[better_goodbyes]

I see. Well, I'm afraid I can't help much with that. I was a professor, but it was for combat, not art. It sounds like a pretty nice job to get into though, especially if you have fun doing it. That always makes the work a lot easier.

[riptidequeen]

Yup, and it beats what I was made for. Or at least it's less destructive.

[better_goodbyes]

Less destruction is always a good thing to see. It's one of the things I've enjoyed about this place. [Even if his welcome had been rather hectic and destructive.]

[riptidequeen]

Yeah, this place has it's... Troubles, but it's much less hetic then home.

[And then, because this is a new person...]

I'm Lapis Lazuli, by the way.

[better_goodbyes]

Most every place does, it's a matter of making the best out of what you have.

[Tai voice lifts a little, a grin working as he finally remembers manners and introductions.]

Taiyang Xiao Long. It's nice to meet you Lapis.

[riptidequeen]

[Lapis can't help but chuckle a little.]

A pleasure to meet you too, Taiyang.
