[He thought a good night’s sleep would cure him from this weariness, but when he woke up in the room he remembered seeing in his dream well that was more than enough information to let him know this was real. It’s not the giant turtle that gets to him or even this sector with canals and fountains. No, it all reminds him of home. What gets him is him being drafted into some unknown war by some noble. That’s unreal. Maybe if he were a knight, it’d be different, but he discarded that idea some time ago.

Playing with the console he was taught how to use, he figured he may as well see if he can really transmit a message. If he was fooled, well, it’ll make him look like an idiot to anyone within an earshot of him. If he wasn’t, then this would be a good way to find some useful information.]

So, we’ve been brought here to fight a war, right? I’m sure that’s a question you’ve all heard lots of time from newbies like me. I get that, really, but shouldn’t I get some say in whether I want to fight? [His voice sounds weary, still tired from all this despite getting sleep. More or less finding displeasure in this situation.] Whatever, I’m stuck here, aren’t I? May as well do what I can. [Not that he sounds enthusiastic about this.]

Is there some sort of training facility around? I mean, if they want us to fight, we gotta keep up with our skills, right? If not, I’d love to have a sparring partner or two. [He grins at this point, excited at the thought of fighting otherworldy people. Are they strong? Can they actually put a scratch on him? If they can kick his ass then that’s even better. It’ll help Yuri get stronger.]

Also, I was told I needed to ‘find a job’. [He almost scoffs at this statement. The only jobs he’s had are guild jobs. Oh, and being a knight, but that didn’t go well.] I’m pretty handy with a sword and a spatula, so there’s my resume. [Cooking is even better because that gets him close to sweets to satiate his sweet tooth. He’d call that pretty even pay.]

Well, hope this went through. If not, then I probably made myself sound like an idiot trying. [He gives a lopsided grin, chuckling at the end as he’s trying to figure out how to send this and turn it off. After a few seconds of fumbling, he finally gets it.]

Heh, that's right.

[Alvin just wants to make sure that the new guy can find his way around. What better way to figure out the layout of this place? He listens to the instructions and nods.]

I know the place well enough. I passed by there the other day. Just sit tight. It won't take me too long to get there.

I'll take your word for it.

[He can sit tight and twiddle his thumbs for a bit. It's not like he has anything to do here anyway.]

[Alvin smirks before shutting off the feed and going on his way. No reason to pass up on a drink now. After arriving and finding out that Leia is here...well...yeah. He needs it. It takes him several minutes of walking, but nothing too bad. At least, he's been through that sector before just checking things out.

He holds up his hand in greeting when he spots Yuri.]

I knew I could trust the new guy on giving me some direction on where to go.

Wouldn't call it direction. It's more like me telling you my address.

[He smiles though. Man, it's been a while since he had a drinking buddy, though. He had Flynn, but Flynn's not here and due to his title he really can't be seen drinking with someone like Yuri so casually right now. However, with all this world kidnapping whatever thing, he needs something.]

So, where's this bar we're going to? Or is it a restaurant? Not that it matters as long as it has edible food and decent beer.

Same thing in a place like this. You learn your way around and an address is all you need to map it out.

[He'd argue semantics, but it doesn't bother him. He gestures with his head in the direction they need to go in.]

I know of one in the Fire Sector. Not much of a walk. It' one way to get acquainted with your new surroundings. The bar itself I haven't been in myself yet, but I hear it's the talk of the turtle.

Well, we'd better check this place out, then.

[Hopefully no bar fights will happen, but leave it to Yuri to start one if someone pisses him off. At least he has more self control now than he did as a young knight.

Casually walking and looking forward, he speaks--]

So what brings you to invite a new guy like me to a bar? Sounds like you've been in need of a drinking buddy for some time.

[If there are bar fights then they'll just have to make sure that they win at least. Nobody gets a consolation prize for coming in anything, but first place unless that prize is blood. He looks over at Yuri and shrugs.]

If I remember correctly, I mentioned that I needed to find a bar and you indirectly invited yourself. Who am I to turn down somebody willing to go along with me? Drinking alone is a real bore.
