[The name on the ID says ???? | Didi. She's a young woman with pale white skin, dark hair, and a little curly-cue underneath her right eye that doesn't seem to be just makeup. Basically, she looks super Goth.]

Ever have one of those days where you're feeling a lot more mortal than usual? Mortal-ish. Maybe that's just me, though.

But this is exciting! New place, new people, a new history I haven't seen before. Every time I think the universe is running out of surprises... well, it's no fun being right all the time, is it? There's something new waiting around every corner like a pony ready to pounce.

So! So, so, so! Figure I'll pick everyone's brains. What's your favorite part about being here? I have two already, and that's the two flavors of free malts they were giving out at that cafe place. But that can't be all, so I want to hear what the old-timers have to say.

Oh-- call me Didi, if you want. It's a cute name, don't you think?

I exist a lot of places simultaneously.

[rathercommon]

What about here? Do you exist in multiple places here?

video

[ahappyending]

Probably! But that's the critical part: I can't actually tell.

At the moment, I'm only aware of this me. Which is an interesting change of pace!

It must be a nice bit of rest, as well. I imagine being in multiple places at the same time would be exhausting.

video

[ahappyending]

Don't worry, I'm used to it. Though I am very busy.

video

[rathercommon]

So what do you do? When you're in these multiple places.

video

[ahappyending]

I talk to people.

video

[rathercommon]

Is that all?

video

[ahappyending]

It's a big part of it.

video

[rathercommon]

Why? If I can ask. A lot of the spirits I've known...They've had - other business, and haven't really been able to talk with us.

[ahappyending]

It helps me do my job, and besides, I have all the time in the world.

video

[rathercommon]

[ Ah hah. ]

Your job. What's your job?

video

[ahappyending]

Secret~

video

[rathercommon]

I suppose I ought to have seen that coming. Can I guess? Will you give me a hint?

video

[ahappyending]

You most certainly can guess! That's the fun part, isn't it?

video

[rathercommon]

[ A quick grin. ]

All right. Were you working for someone? For a human, I mean, who summoned you.

video

[ahappyending]

Oh, no. Not at all.

My job is my own.

video

[rathercommon]

[ Hmmmmmmmmmm. ]

And it involves talking to people.

[ Hrmmghhhh. ]

Is knowing people personally part of the job? Or do you talk to them just so you can learn more about humanity in general?

video

[ahappyending]

Meeting people personally is.

If you want to be technical, I don't really have to. But it helps.

video

[rathercommon]

So - you don't do this job for anyone. Just for yourself?

video

[ahappyending]

It's less of a job and more of a duty.

video

[rathercommon]

But not for someone.

video

[ahappyending]

More for everyone than for anyone in particular.

video

[rathercommon]

So...You help people, then? What you do is helpful to people in general?

video

[ahappyending]

Ultimately, yes. Not everyone thinks so at the time.
