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.

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.

[crimsonflower]

I am a heretic and a class traitor. Many of those who have amplified voices because of their positions of power do not have favorable opinions of me.

[tightbod_bigrod]

Oh, one of those dreaded 'for the people' Emperors?

And you're still alive?

[crimsonflower]

For now. Many people do want me dead, and my ideals have thrown the nation into war.
