Then he will get to sending messages to his colleagues and wish them a good evening.

Who is next on their list?

Permalink

They have yet to meet the people who listed herbalism, courier services, administrative assistance, and bread-making as their skills.

Permalink

"I think I want to see if the administrative assistant is around, my dads have secretaries and think they're very important."

Permalink

They can find a room containing someone who is happy to offer her services for a project like this! What kinds of work does she need done?

Permalink

"So, I'm not sure what form administrative assistance takes here! Where I'm from everybody has these," she displays the pocket everything, "and administrative assistants are using them practically all the time. To filter messages and schedule appointments and organize records and stuff. How do you do those things?"

Permalink

"Oh, how interesting. I use paper to record everything important, of course, using shorthand to ensure that I capture everything quickly. Will you be bringing more of these with you, then, when you start your kingdom?"

Permalink

"They'll need to come from Amenta but getting people from Amenta is high priority. I don't know how long it will take though."

Permalink

Nod.

"I can help you until then, but you may have better luck with people from Amenta after that, since they'll know how to use these everythings. I'm not certain what a phone call is exactly, but I can help you manage your angel messages, Sendings, and communications of that type."

Permalink

"That sounds good, especially if you can be awake when I'm asleep. How much do you charge?"

Permalink

"Three chimes per day?"

Permalink

"A chime is one-tenth of a bell," Daernir adds.

Permalink

"Oh, of course, my apologies. Should I convert all figures into Amentan currency for you?"

Permalink

"I should learn to use bells and they're what I have right now anyway. Hm. How long will you be in town? Also what's your name?"

Permalink

"Tyshvian Coppersmelter. I might give you a list of local naming traditions to consult, since it can cause issues when you're dealing with people who take those things too seriously. Very few drama happens in Arcadia that starts here, but sometimes people bring old grudges and values with them from the Prime."

Permalink

"What kind of issues do naming traditions cause?"

Permalink

"Oh, mostly people becoming incredibly offended and refusing to work with you. It's odd, the kinds of arguments people will have when they know they have forever. I try to avoid those types of things, but I think starting a kingdom will give you less freedom there. Maybe you can delegate that."

Permalink

"I'd like to know how not to offend people about their names, yes. I think I want to hire you but I don't have anything for you to do right now. Will you be in town in a few days?"

Permalink

"I will be, yes! You're very precocious, has anyone told you that?"

Permalink

"Once or twice!"

Permalink

"Well, we'll need to discuss the specifics of my duties more- I'm sure on Amenta, you expect all kinds of things from administrative assistants that I've never heard of- but I can manage your schedule, and take notes if you need me to sit in during meetings, and organize your office- if you intend to have an office- does that all sound appropriate?"

Permalink

"I take my own notes and don't have an office yet. I might need to do more hiring, can you do interviews when you know more about my criteria?"

Permalink

"I would be happy to do that for you. Will there be anything else you want help with urgently, before I've been officially hired?"

Permalink

"I think that's all for now, thank you!"

Permalink

Then she'll bid adieu to the precocious civilization builder.
