Hey, everybody! Wow, this forum thing is really neat. I wish we'd had something like this back home, it would've made keeping in touch with people a lot easier. It's pretty fun to look through and see all the questions people are asking, and read what everyone has to say! It seems like that's what this is for, right? Asking questions?

Actually, I was hoping I could ask a couple, too. One of them is, for people who have jobs, are your jobs enough to keep you sustained just from the Demichroma you earn, or do you have to accumulate Chroma yourself on the side, too? I don't just mean for splurging at the mall or something — I mean more of, with the moon cycles and all. It feels pretty weird to have to just ask people outright if they'll hold your hand to get some extra Chroma, but I guess around here people don't think that's as bold a thing to do as they would back home.

Anyway, I was a little worried about it, so I thought getting a job would be a good thing to do, but boy! The customers sure are something when there's a moon in the sky!

The other question I had was, I sort of want to go back to school, so I've been thinking of enrolling at the Academy. I'm just wondering if it's hard to balance classes and a job? It's sort of strange to get used to having to sleep again! But I really want to see if there are some opportunities to play music, or maybe do some acting, or dance. I used to know some girls who did ballet and I was always really jealous of how easy they made it look! I wonder if it's too late to learn...

Well, anyway! Those are my questions, and I won't be on break for much longer, so I'll check back when I have the chance. Thanks, everybody!

Really? That's nice to know, that people are able to find a balance of both. Can I ask what you're studying, and what job you do?

[extalon]

I'm working security at a Brothel and I'm working at a Non-Profit clinic. As far as school goes, I'm studying to officially get my medical license, since it's not something I was able to do on my world.

[doreimi]

Oh, wow. That's way above the level I'm at, haha. That's really neat, though, so you want to be a doctor? What type of medicine are you interested in?

[extalon]

Yes. It's what I wanted since I was young. I'm already a trained Combat Medic and have provided humanitarian aid and various places, so I'm not starting as a novice. I'm interested in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.

[doreimi]

Whoa. So does that mean you've traveled all over the world, then? So coming to a place like this must not have been that different for you, if you're used to winding up in all sorts of places.

Pediatrics, huh. So you like helping kids?

[extalon]

It was still on the different side. Like I saw Dragons when I first arrived and had to take care of a Dragon egg. Those things are just in fairy tales where I am from. But I've always been adaptable, so maybe I have had an easier time than most.

I do. I want to be able to help the biggest range of people. Especially those that can't afford or don't have access to hospitals.

[doreimi]

There are DRAGONS here? And you got to take care of one?? That's so cool! Did the egg hatch? What happened to the dragon's mother?

[extalon]

Yeah. I don't know how you can track them down now, though. The eggs did end up hatching and we had to take care of the baby dragons before transporting them to their new home. It was an interesting experience to say the least.

[doreimi]

I'll say! That sounds really exciting. Where did you end up taking them, was it to one of the moons?

[extalon]

It was to some place in the Outer Plains. They said it was their natural habitat.
