[ Since about, oh, Valentine’s day, Lirael has been even more withdrawn than usual. She hasn’t been seen outside her room much and hasn’t really been interacting with even her housemates due to near fatal embarrassment.

This little message is brought to you by her need to bury her existential angst in work.

She would have preferred to just send out a text message but figures she might be more likely to get a response from someone if they can see who they’re dealing with, but she’s obviously not very comfortable with it.

As she speaks she glances downward every now and again, reading from a little note with a pre-written speech on. ]

People have jobs here, right?

I would very much like one.

I’m a Second Assistant Librarian in the Great Library of the Clayr where I come from, and I am also a quite capable mage. I’ll even do housework for people if anyone needs that.

I’m good with animals, and decent with a bow and arrows. I know how to use a sword.

I don’t know if any of this is considered useful here but if so feel free to contact me, I would be very grateful.

Thank you.

Animals? DO you have a horse? They don't do nearly as much as they used to, overworkedish.

[keyandstar]

No, I've never had a horse.

[ She'll just refrain from commenting on the rest because she doesn't really... know what it means. ]

I wanted to be a horse but those flies they get into your ears and buzz buzz buzz around until you have to switch from hooves and then there's a satyr and that's not like a horse at all they'd get very mad at being compared to centaurs.

[keyandstar]

I don't think I know what either a satyr or a centaur is...

[ It's going to be hard to keep up with this conversation, isn't it? ]

[fishy_go_byebye]

A little like a horse but not at all just a man.

[Very, very hard.]

[keyandstar]

[ Well, she will just have to consider it a challenge then. Not like Dog always makes perfect sense either and she's been talking to her for years now. ]

Which one of them is?

[fishy_go_byebye]

Which one of what is?

[Wait, where were they? someone needed to keep track of this somewhere, and Del had definitely not been paying attention to her mouth just now.]

[keyandstar]

Which one of a satyr and a centaur is a little like a horse?

[ Not to mention the question of how... ]

[fishy_go_byebye]

The one that's not a goat?
