[Text Post] Wait WHAT?!

[terraboo]

[In the same fine calligraphy as before, the lines slightly rougher as if the writer's hand were shaking, the following message is posted:]

What do you mean we don't even get to keep anything from our journey to that world?

What's the point of going into weird alternate worlds if we can't come out with loot?! Doesn't this place know adventurers have that as the number-three rated motivation for their work?!

There's already so much annoying and problematic about this whole thing, but that on top?!

Damn it, I had plushies and I wanted to keep them...

You too? I guess it's more normal no matter where you're working, huh?

[terraboo]

I mean, I don't want to be insulting the Mother Superior, her work gets rough especially with the larger circumstances in my region these days, but...

[ oh..! He was expecting a greedy corporation she was attached to, not something religious. ]

Well... as long as you keep your chin up. And remember if they get irritated it's probably more so something going on with them than it is anything you did...

[ if only he'd take that advice himself. ]

[Laina's never had to deal with such scales of business concerns.]

No, in my case I'm sure it was somewhat about me. A weird blessing situation of me getting books from other worlds. But 'girl with future memes' is a lot less of a problem than 'different churches fighting over the possible invention of moveable type'.

[dovedive]

You.... have a lot more going on for you than being a little treasure troll.

[terraboo]

I contain multitudes, I think is one of the jokes.

Slightly more seriously, I'm a recordsmith first and foremost. Just one who has reason to have adventuring training on the side.

[dovedive]

A recordsmith... I guess based on context that means collect data and other things from other places?

[ Sounds like the library did a good job in calling her here if that's the case. ]

[terraboo]

Precisely. Plus ensuring existing records don't decay. Which among other things involves keeping the library cold. Thus the thick robes.

[dovedive]

Sounds like you're a little bit of a hero, in your own little way. I can admire that.

[terraboo]

Of a sort, I guess. History's important and all.

[dovedive]

It's true. We can't learn from our mistakes if we don't have the history to back it up.

[terraboo]

You get the work.

Here, though, I can only do what I can. Write. Work with people. You get the idea.
