[The Warp Band feed flicks on to show Chie in her room, legs folded and sitting on her bed with a bunch of textbooks haphazardly scattered around her.  This is apparently how she studies.  There's also a chubby Herdier asleep at the foot of the bed, snoring softly while a Tyrogue quietly shadow boxes in the corner.]

So... it might be too early to be worrying about this since I've got exams coming up and haven't actually graduated yet, buuuut... I've been thinking about what I want to do once I'm done with my last year of school in a few months.  I really want to do something to help people and make a difference in the city, but I can't decide whether I want to try to join the City Guard, the Rangers, or the Swords of the Savior.  I mean, I know what they all do and everything, but I don't know which one I'd do the best in.

[Chie smiles sheepishly, scratching at her cheek.]

I guess what I'm trying to say is I need some advice.  If anybody out there who's a member of those groups wants to talk to me about it - like what it's like to be a part of the group, what kind of training you do, stuff like that - I'd really appreciate it.  I think it'll go a long way toward helping me make a good choice.  I already do a lot of physical training every day with my Tyrogue, so I'm not really worried about that part, but I just want to make sure I end up wherever I can help the most.

[She glances back down at her textbook, frowning before looking back at the camera.]

...Gotta graduate first, though.  I better get going.  But if anybody can help me out, just give me a call, okay?  Thanks!

Blue told me you wanted information about the City Guard. Is there anything specific you wish to know?

[Voice]

[footprints_on_your_face]

Oh, hey! Flynn, right? Yeah. She said to have all my questions ready, so I wrote them all down.

[There's the sound of some shuffling paper.]

Okay! Why did you choose the guard, did you ever consider the Swords or the Rangers instead, are there entrance exams or physical tests required to join, what's the training like, what do you do on a daily basis, and do you get much time to go outside the city or do you spend most of your time here?

[Chie may have gotten the impression that Flynn is impatient, so she asked them all at once.]

[Voice]

[choseneutrality]

Yes.

[He's a bit taken aback by the sudden stream of questions and it takes him a while to process the things that she had asked. Once he does that he is able to respond.]

In order: I chose the guard because I thought my skills would be best there, no I never have, having combat training and awareness is a must and some paperwork is involved, the training is rigorous enough to keep combat skills sharp, I'm usually atop the wall on lookout, and do you mean on-duty or off?

[And Chie's silent on her end for a little while as she tries to remember the order of her questions.]

Um... off-duty.

[Voice]

[choseneutrality]

I buy groceries or take walks outside of the city for a bit.

[Voice]

[footprints_on_your_face]

So you don't really get much chance to explore?

[Voice]

[choseneutrality]

Only in my downtime.

[Voice]

[footprints_on_your_face]

I guess the guard probably has shifts, right?

[Voice]

[choseneutrality]

That's right.

[Voice]

[footprints_on_your_face]

Do you always have the same shift or is it different from day to day?

[Voice]

[choseneutrality]

I have the same shift on weekdays but not on weekends.

[Voice]

[footprints_on_your_face]

You have weekends off, or just a different shift?

[Voice]

[choseneutrality]

Different shift.

[Voice]

[footprints_on_your_face]

Hmm... okay, I think that's pretty much everything. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

[Voice]

[choseneutrality]

You're welcome.
