[The feed shows a blonde girl, who has an injured right arm, staring at the screen with a bored look on her face.]

Hello there, it's been a while since I used this room. I guess I will introduce myself again.

[She gives a pause.]

I'm Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia. I'm currently unemployed here, and I don't know if there are any jobs that I can do here. It's ridiculous that we need to work in this kind of place. [Whining, whining.] Anyways, if anybody can contact me about the positions available, please make sure to find me?

[He still grimaces faintly seeing that wound but thankfully he's not running away anymore.]

Hey Lucy. Feeling better huh?

[Still he is genuinely glad to see her out and about even if this place is as dangerous as ever. Something he has been working on actually in terms of slaying the threats before they can harm anyone.]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Yeah, I'm fine. But looks like it's time we do something for living here.

[She's rather grumpy about it. Who would ever want to get a job in such a world? Or tower, whatever.]

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

Well look at it this way. It's something that's like back home. You do work, you get paid.

[Easy for him to say since his work involves doing what he does best. KICKING MONSTER TAIL.]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Easy for you to say. [She's so reading Natsu's mind.] This place is horrible. We don't know what we may encounter.

... Well, at least we don't have to pay for the rent.

[A sigh follows her words.]

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

Well you have a point there. What about the library? Pretty sure they'd like more people to help out there?

[He's just glad to beat stuff up if it means keeping Lucy and the rest safe. Maybe being simple is a blessing.]

There's that yeah. Means you can save up for stuff you'd want later down the line.

[And no scary land lady either. ]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Oh, I may apply there. Though do you think there are any free positions? People may prefer the library because it's considerably safer than other jobs?

[But thinking about all the books there excites Lucy.]

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

I've seen a lot more people who can fight than those who can't in this place. Besides I doubt there are that many people who love books as much as you do.

[Unintentional compliment is a go~]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

[Lucy blushes slightly at Natsu's smile and gives her own.]

Well, I'll give this a try. But what if all positions are taken? What do I do if that's the case?

[Video]

[explodewiththerage]

Natsu flinched faintly. She had a good point. What then?]

Well uhhh guess I'll help you find somethign?

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

[Lucy rubbed his chin in thought.]

I guess I will join you with the monster hunting in that case.

[It's better than not doing anything anyway.]

[Video]

[scentofmakai]

There's a lot of jobs, but I don't think any of them are worth it.

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Oh? May ask why do you think that they are not worth it?

[Lucy blinks a few times, curious.]

[Video]

[scentofmakai]

Well, I don't like dying... And who cares if we keep this tower running? It's going to shut down in a year anyway.

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Well, still, not doing anything for a year is not a good thing I guess? Besides, I'm sure that there are jobs which you can do in peace. My friend has just told me to check the library. Maybe you can try that too?

[Video]

[scentofmakai]

I guess the libary's safer. I'll give it a look, but it's not like I had a job at home either.

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

I'll be checking library too, so if you want some company, you can come with me and my friend.

That's right, we're all from different worlds. I wish I could learn about them.

By the way, may I ask your name as well?

[Video]

[scentofmakai]

Zett Takajo. Don't get me wrong - it's not because of my world I didn't have a job, but because of my own circumstances. Demons in my part of Makai still have to do something with their time, usually.

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

Glad to meet you, Zett!

[Lucy gives a friendly smile.]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask about your private matters or anything. Still, I'm willing to listen whenever you'd like to talk about your world.

[It would be even better if there were books about it. Bookworm speaking.]

[Video]

[scentofmakai]

[Meh, it'd be even better if he could actually go there again...]

Thanks, Lucy. What's got you thinking about a job?

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

[Same for Lucy -and Natsu-. She misses her friends so much.]

You're welcome. Umm, it's kind of boring to sit here, doing nothing. In my world, we used to take on rather eventful jobs.

I guess I just want to do something. My friend is all around, hunting monsters and weird creatures.

[Lucy likes chatting as you can see.]

[rememberscarlet]

[...Oh hi, Lucy!]

The administrators sometimes assign jobs, I think.

[That's how he ended up in the library at least; not that he's complaining.]

Maybe you could send them a request?

[loves_spirits]

Oh, is there such a thing here?

[Wait, how can this place have a thing called administration? Wasn't Animus just a tower? Looks like Lucy was so busy trying to stay alive to learn about this world.]

I guess I can try it. Thanks! Natsu insists that I should get a job in the library. Do you know if there are any positions available there?

[She's still thinking about why Natsu wants her to work in the library.]

[rememberscarlet]

Yes. If you look through the network posts you'll find some occasions where they talked to the rest of us.

[Though Jellal admits he's never talked to any of them to date. Also, have a wire smile.]

I know that we can always use some extra hands there.

[The books don't sort themselves, even though Jellal does have the advantage of telekinesis to keep up.]

[Video]

[loves_spirits]

I see. Thank you again, Jellal. I will check the available positions for the library soon.

[Lucy gives a smile back; hers is just a little wider.]

Besides, I'd like to read as many books as I can there. I would have lots of time for that.

[Even in this tower of horror, the existence of books are more than enough to raise her mood.]

By the way, Jellal, do you also like reading?

[Asking obnoxious questions is a must when it comes to Lucy.]

[Video]

[rememberscarlet]

Some, yes. Though I should warn you, working for this place can be tricky. If you want to spend your days reading in the library, then you don't need to take a job there for that.

[It's easier to read things without having to worry about the ever-increasing pile of books toppling onto you because you weren't fast enough with sorting them.]

I do.

[After all information makes knowledge makes power and while Jellal has now a very different reason for seeking that, it's something that hasn't changed. Not to mention that the libraries make a very good place to retreat to.]
