one 💕 text.

I know the network is used for inquiries at this point, so I guess I might as well throw my hat in there for a little assistance of my own for a few things. And a bit of a general question in the end, I suppose.

1. I guess you could say that I'm looking for a job: I know it isn't really necessary here, given the currency, but I want to give myself something to do. In terms of my personal abilities, I'm pretty decent with technology (although the stuff here is a bit more advanced than what I'm used to) and writing. Back home, I wrote for the Student Cultural Society club and even did the photography for some of my personal articles. I've been doing some writing her for practice, but nothing too concrete.

2. I'm also looking for someone who could teach me a few things. I'm primarily looking for a combat teacher, primarily for self defense. Admittedly, I can't use magic or supernatural abilities or anything like that, so that's a bit of a minus on my end, so I need something else to protect myself. I learned a little bit of karate from one of my friends back home as well as pro-wrestling if you want to know what I'm primarily interested in. If any sort of payment is necessary for that service, please feel free to let me know as well.

3. Not really that much of an actual, proper inquiry from my end, but something I'm naturally curious about: what kinds of worlds is everyone from? I've heard that there's a good amount of people from Japan - and personally, I'm from Yokohama myself but I'm interested in hearing if there's anything about your worlds that makes it potentially unique or special. (Perhaps I could even figure out how many Japans there are?) Oh, and I guess hearing your favorite thing to do or places to go in your world would be great, too!

4. Also: what places here remind you of home? Is there anything about this world that you like in particular - whether it's better than your own world, etc.

Anyway, that should be it from me! Sorry about the massive tl;dr but I wanted to get that all out of the way.

Wow. The Moon Knights exam, huh. Was it really that difficult? What kind of things did it have?

2. I have a lot of free time so any time you're free is alright with me.

3. Oh, another person from the future. . . do you have flying cars yet?

It was pretty tough, pal! There was a whole handbook we had to memorize, and there was a physical exam too!

2. Good to hear! Then I'll just set something up for when I'm off duty.

3. Nope! The eggheads are really slacking on that one. They must be getting saved for even more in the future!

With regard to your search for an instructor for self defense, I believe I may be of some help. Admittedly, I know neither what this "karate" or "pro-wrestling" is, but I have several years of experience in grappling and full-contact sparring, as well as fighting directly on the battlefield.

As far as payment is concerned, I never had to pay for my training, so neither will you. If you are interested in more details, you can contact me through the same channels that this message is being delivered through.

[ He's written this thinking it's like it's a bonafide snail-mail letter, and by God does it show. ]

[ oh my god, you poor innocent soul.... she does laugh a little under her breath so she's glad she's replying via text ]

Pro-wrestling actually uses a lot of grapples, so as far as I know, I'd at least be interested in seeing how you teach.

A whole handbook, huh. I wonder how easy it is to get a hold of that. I'm interested in learning more, although I'm not really all that into becoming one myself.

3. Wow, that's kind of disappointing, but oh well.

Yikes.

Well it's always good to learn! What do they say, knowledge is power? Anyway, you can find the handbook and other resources at the Lunar Scientia's library, pal!

Sorry. The future's not at all like all the tv shows said it'd be! I guess robot technology looks like it's coming along, but that's about it!

It's unfortunate. Don't waste time with untrustworthy people, I guess.

As it is, I think the Japan I am from is likely unique.

Ah, well that's a break up of Ages in my world.

So Dragon is the name of the Age and 9 refers to the number of ages we have accounted for since the Ancient Age so far and 41 tells us how many years into the age we are.

The reason the current age is known as the Dragon Age is due to the recent upsurge in dragons and dangerous encounters with them. It had been thought that dragons had all been hunted to extinction by Nevarran dragon hunters in the Steel Age.

Obviously not, what with all of the high dragon spottings lately.

I see. . . that's honestly a rather neat way of numbering years, actually. But you have dragons in your world? Were they anything like the ones here?

[ he's from the 1800's, cut him a little slack ]

In my experience, any form of combat training starts with a good foundation. Learning the basics is necessary to ensure that you do not start off with an improper understanding of how to fight, as well as making sure you do not hurt yourself. Any more than necessary, of course.

When it comes to what that means in practice, that mostly comes down to footwork before anything else. I believe that is where we should start, and continue on from there. Though to truly gauge your starting point, I would need to see you in person.

I am ready to begin at any time. If I am correct, it is possible to send my location to you through this

[ The message ends abruptly. Following it up is a GPS location not even ten minutes away walking. Saves them both a lot of time.

Ten minutes later later: ]

My apologies, that was sent prematurely. Regardless, that is my current location, and I will be there for some time. Look for a man wearing a coat.

-Eren Yeager

[ It's signed off...again. The mark of someone either way too old to be texting or utterly clueless about what they're doing. And a coat? In this weather? Clearly, he's insane. ]

Of course. Better to know as much as you possibly can rather than keep yourself in the dark. But alright, I'll keep that in mind next time I visit the library.

And that's sad.

But robots, huh. . . at least that's some progress.

Sound advice.

And why do you say that?

Good to hear, pal! If I see you there, I'll say hi!

It sure is a tragedy. But we gotta keep looking on the bright side! Robots sure are some progress alright! Sure, they're not part of everyday life yet, but I know I read about one lab that was doing really great with research about robotics! I don't remember any other details about it at all, but it sure sounded promising! [As long as they don't get Cyked out.]

[ she doesn't know that! although she can make a few guesses that his world probably doesn't have this sort of thing. ]

I see.

I can come over right now, then.

[ . . . which she actually plans to do! ]

[ Eren feels awful about writing such a short message, but it seemed to him like the one he was talking to didn't care much either, which absolved him of any real worry. ]

To my prospective student,
I will be waiting.
Signed,
Eren Yeager

[ ...That doesn't mean he's going to forsake all his outdated conventions, though.

Eren stands on the edge of a small park that overlooks part of the city. He's leaning on a railing, in between sets of binoculars that you have to pay for with Chroma. The view is gorgeous, and he seems entirely intent on watching it with all he can, seemingly lost in it. He probably won't notice anyone unless they really get in his business. ]

Well, let's just say that the dragons in my world would sooner eat you alive than to let you near their clutch of prospective hatchlings. They are territorial, aggressive, dangerous, and clever.

They are also rather majestic from a certain point of view and I have to admire their ability to survive.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

But you're right that dragons definitely are gorgeous if they're not trying to maul you.

[ Eren...

She certainly wouldn't mind any short messages, especially since a lot of her back and forth utilizing the text. But that's when she actually sees him and realizes that she didn't actually say what she personally looked like, or even her actual name.

Hm.

A dilemma.

How she chooses to solve this is by walking up to him and getting up into his business by trying to tap him on the shoulder in hopes that would get his attention. An attempt is going to be made, anyway. ]

It's likely you'd have heard about some of these places, otherwise.

[ Once he turns to see who's trying to get his attention, it's apparent very quickly that he has no idea who or what this person is trying to get out of him. ]

What is it?

[ His voice, though not unkind, is measured and even, like he's on guard. He's aware he's supposed to be expecting someone. But the girl that's in front of him is far from the person he had pictured in his head. So much so that even the idea that she might be the one he was talking to earlier is completely absent from his mind. ]

Ha, I guess you're right on that front.

[ Ah. . .

She really should have done the smart thing here. Well, it can't be helped now, she might as well just be out with it. After all, it isn't like it's a secret in the first place. Not to mention that her plans all along was to learn, right? ]

You're the one that answered my message on the network, right? About a combat teacher.

[ Initially, his only response is silence. Then, his blank expression turns into a look of doubt. ]

Are you sure you're up for this? It won't be easy.

[ It's the unfortunate truth. He wasn't a very gentle person in general, let alone as a hand-to-hand instructor. ]

Nobody said anything in life was easy to begin with. I didn't ask expecting that it would be an easy time, especially since I'm anything but athletic.

[ Her words are stern and serious, but honest and it shows in her eyes as well. ]
