First Prayer [video]

[faithstaynight]

[When the feed turns on, the face of a teenaged girl shows up! The short-haired blonde, violet-eyed girl might seem familiar to some of you. In a vast contrast to her fierce arrival, she seems a bit... nervous?]

Ah, bonjour... my name is Ruler, and I have been here for a little over a week now. It may seem forward, but I... have a request.

[Whatever it is seems to be bothering her, because she hesitates for a few moments before she speaks up again. She sounds almost timid now.]

Are there any residents here with... teaching experience? N-Not training, I am quite capable in that area! I mean...

[Ugh, she has to just spit it out.] I require... reading lessons. Writing, too, if that is possible...

[And now she's just. Steeling herself! Ugh, being illiterate in this day and age must be so horrible...]

I'd like to help, but I can really only write Japanese, and it's not an easy language to pick up.

[Video]

[faithstaynight]

[She sighs.] I see... even if that is no help, thank you anyway.

[Video]

[alephbet]

I'm sure someone else will offer.

[Video]

[faithstaynight]

I certainly hope so... I feel like I have quite a disadvantage, with the way some people use the text function on these devices...

[Video]

[alephbet]

That would be pretty limiting. Thankfully it doesn't seem to matter what you write in, but if you can't read any language...

[Video]

[faithstaynight]

Then that perk is rendered moot...

[A young boy's face appears on the screen. He seems a little shy, and definitely soft spoken.]

What language are you trying to learn? I might be able to help.

[Video]

[alephbet]

I guess there's some limit to what they can do.

[Video]

[faithstaynight]

My native language is French, so that would be ideal. I know how to speak Japanese [Thanks, Holy Grail!!], but I have heard that is a very... difficult written language, so I would prefer to avoid it, if possible.

[Video]

[faithstaynight]

Mm. It seems even in this modern age, no form of communication is perfect...

[Video]

[absolute_perception]

Understood. I can help with the French.

[After all, he wouldn't be good at gathering information if he couldn't understand the languages.]

Japanese does take some getting used to. My name is Elian Zigmarl.

[hero_of_smiles]

Wait, we have to learn stuff here?

[What madness is this!?]

But, uh, I can write english and read in english, does that help?

[Video]

[faithstaynight]

Ah, really? Thank you!

A pleasure to meet you, Elian. As I said before, my name is Ruler.

Video

[faithstaynight]

Eh? Not that I know of... it is mostly a personal interest, in my case.

I've been told that everything is translated into our native language, but I don't think that would help much, in a case like this...

Re: Video

[hero_of_smiles]

Oh, okay. [Phew. Heroes don't have time to learn!]

Guess I won't be much help. Besides, you sound more intelligent than me with english anyways.

[Video]

[absolute_perception]

You're welcome, Ruler

[Gratitude is something that he's still getting used to.]

My schedule is pretty open.

[disbear]

A professor's work is never done. Be thankful that I was peepi, er... eavesdropping on you just now. I'll have you know that I'm fully certified to teach several different languages including Englishspanishfrenchportuguesejapanesechinese...

[The list goes on.]

... lobsterelderthing and my specialty, bear.

[Video]

[faithstaynight]

As is mine. I train every morning after breakfast, but outside of that, you may schedule our meetings however you wish.

[Video]

[absolute_perception]

Ah. [He nods.]

How about at 3 to 5 in the afternoon? This way, we can finish anything that could be presented should any come up. Preferably, I would like to meet at a quiet place with as little distractions as possible. Two hours should be sufficient.

[ Oh wow roomie, you seem really different in attitude all of a sudden. ]

Ruler?

Video

[faithstaynight]

[She laughs a bit nervously at that.] I'm sure if I were to actually attempt to speak English, I would sound quite horrible!

[faithstaynight]

[W-What the heck is that thing?! And why is she getting a seriously bad aura off of it...?]

Ah, no... I think I'll be fine. Someone else has offered their assistance...

[Video]

[faithstaynight]

That time sounds fine. Shall we meet in the library? I'm not sure how often the residents here frequent either floor, but such places are meant to be quiet.

[disbear]

Oh?

[That's a little disappointing. But he won't stop there.]

Is he a teacher, then? A certified educator with credentials, degrees, and experience? It's practically illegal to teach without those, you know.

[faithstaynight]

[O-Oh dear.]

Ah, Amalia. Is something wrong?
