Hello, my name is Edelgard von Hresvelg. I have only been in Nippon for roughly a month, and I wanted to reach out to the community. I have not before lived without some form of assistance, so I am greatly uneducated in a few things that I am seeking help with:
1. Domestic Chores
→Cooking
→Laundry
I can tidy and wash dishes on my own, but those are not particular tasks that require skill or knowledge.

2. Employment, my skills are as follows
→Organization and Management
→Stamina, strength, and martial prowess
I can offer myself as a chess partner, a bodyguard for exploring, and I am able to memorize details very well. How the last may be utilize I will leave up to you.

3. Art
I am looking for models or mentors. I cannot pay in money just yet, but I am willing to offer other means of payment through bartering or services. My paltry skills need improvement and I am unsure I can teach myself the basics without assistance.

Before I conclude this message, I would like to preemptively apologize for any delay in my own responses. I am attempting to teach myself how to type efficiently on this device.

Wait wait wait. Models? Art models? Like, what kind of art models? The nude kind?

[crimsonflower]

[She actually wanted to do text for practice, but this is fine too. It's much easier for h—

Oh dear she was not expecting that response. Her eyes go visibly wide.]

N-not necessarily nude, but I suppose that would make it easier to learn muscle groups. I simply would like to practice drawing and painting more now that I have less responsibility.

I could totally do that! But would you be willing to post the art publicly? You can say for like, cultural enrichment.

[Really he just saw another opportunity for his porn website - why not corner the hentai market, too?]

[crimsonflower]

I absolutely do not have the level of skill to be posting publicly!

[When you have a war campaign to run there is not much time for art lessons.]

[tightbod_bigrod]

Ah man...

[He's visibly disappointed.

But he gets over it quickly.]

Well, I could still help out if you wanted. I'm a great model. [He probably doesn't stay still even when he sleeps.]

[crimsonflower]

I'll certainly take you up on it. Once my skills have improved I can repay you for your time by doing a couple requested pieces.

[tightbod_bigrod]

Oh, hey, sure, maybe I could get an art piece done for my partner's birthday or something.

[crimsonflower]

Well, that's certainly a sweet sentiment. I hope I can provide a quality piece.

[tightbod_bigrod]

I'm sure you'll do great!

And if not, he'd never be rude to a lady anyway. All I gotta say is that a refined noblewoman or something made it and he won't say shit.

[crimsonflower]

If you want to be that specific, I'm an emperor.

[tightbod_bigrod]

No kidding? That's quite the title. Must've been something to end up in a place like this instead.

[crimsonflower]

Yes. It is quite frustrating being an adult bereft of knowledge that allows you to be independent. I do, however, enjoy the familiarity of being treated as an equal.

[tightbod_bigrod]

It's not all that hard. Get some of the basics down and you're good to go. Learn how to cook a thing or two, clean your shit, have a little side hustle for money and you're good to go!

[crimsonflower]

Side hustle?

[Forgive her slang ignorance. She canonically doesn't even know what a high-five is.]

[tightbod_bigrod]

Yeah, side hustle. You know. Taking jobs on the side to earn a little bit of coin. Doesn't even have to be illegal work!

[crimsonflower]

Does that qualifier mean it's usually illegal?

[Not that she has anything against "illegal", considering she started a war herself, but clarification is something she desires.]

[tightbod_bigrod]

Depends on who's saying it an how they're saying it. It's one of those flexible terms, y'know? If you say you got side hustle, people probably figure it's legal. If I say I got some side hustle going on, people probably assume it's illegal.

[crimsonflower]

Ah, so the connotation is a reflection of reputation. I suppose that tells me much about you, then.

[tightbod_bigrod]

Yeah. It means I add spice to life.

[crimsonflower]

I'd make a joke here, but I'm not sure I should offend a potential client.

[tightbod_bigrod]

Hey, go for the joke. It's a serious crime to say you've got a joke and then not share it, you know? Way worse than anything I've ever done.

[crimsonflower]

I suppose I'll have to stay a criminal. It wouldn't be funny at this point, now would it?

[tightbod_bigrod]

Damn, you're vicious, lady. We gotta clean scum like you off the streets!

[crimsonflower]

Well, that wouldn't be the first time I've heard that one, or close to it. I suppose maybe I shouldn't be using "side hustle" to refer to an extra income after all.

[tightbod_bigrod]

That kind of an Emperor, huh?

Well. I haven't met many people at the top who were sweet and gentle.
