Yup. Starting to get a following. Too bad I probably won't be fighting anyone big today. But whatever. It'll be good to get the stress out and stretch my legs.

[She hopped in, settling in the seat behind him. His voice. Wait... hmmm.]

Wait, you're Zelgadis, right? I think we talked on the network?

[hardrocklife]

[He glances back.]

Yeah. I've been trying out a few odd jobs here and there.

[And he'll pick up those handles and start walking, towing the carriage.]

[swordofhisou]

I never imagined someone would try this out, but it's actually probably a good paying job. The youkai will love it. Kind of old fashioned.

[She settled back and relaxed into the chair. It did feel like the old days to an extent. And, really, she wasn't in a hurry anyway.]

How're you settling in so far?

[hardrocklife]

Seemed like a productive way to get to know the lay of the land.

[He has to think a moment about her question, though.]

The work's simple enough. I'm not used to "settling in" to any place for a long period of time, though.

[swordofhisou]

You will definitely get a feel for where everything is, doing this. So, that's a bonus. Never even thought about that when I arrived.

[She laughed a little, shrugging to herself.]

That's going to take some getting used to. It's a big city, but everything outside of this town's basically a wasteland.

[hardrocklife]

So I've heard. Is there really nothing out there? Or beyond...?

[Has anyone even gone that far...?]

[swordofhisou]

We don't know yet. The wastelands are supposed to be way above my paygrade. And there's a possibility that there's an old earth kami of incredible power involved. We're not sure at the moment.

[She grunted and shook her head.]

Of course, I've been pretty busy so I haven't looked into it too closely.

[hardrocklife]

Some kind of earth spirit? Heh... interesting.

Maybe I'll get to see for myself.

[swordofhisou]

It might be more accurate to think of them as a god. Kami are all worshiped, but there's kami and then there's Kami. This one's one of the bigger ones in my history, and I don't doubt they're the same here. But, a god of the Earth, yeah.

Might get that chance, you never know.
