Out of curiosity, I am wondering if anyone who's moved around here could offer me some advice: While Heropa is a fine, sunny place, I'm finding it might be, at least for me, a lovelier place to visit than to dwell.

[ Do you know who hates the Summer in the deep south? People who wear suits and also walk just about everywhere. ]

Bearing in mind I've a business to run, I'm attempting to weigh my options with regard to picking up and moving further north, or simply attempting to find more convenient accommodations within the city limits. Any advice?

Afraid I can't be of much help with moving standards, my living standards are regrettably low. Are you already in business independently? You might even find more success further north.

You've seen my shop, doctor. Is there much of a market for such things anywhere, really?

Cold air and rainy weather give us more time to stay inside our minds, and I find they lend themselves to art appreciation. You might be surprised.

[cantwalkwithoutit]

Simple crafts. Hardly art.

We moved to De Chima for the business. And maybe tech people would have an interest in your hipster brooms, but I'm sure if you wanted back into litigation... You know, where there's tech, there's lawsuits and legal things and terms of service and whatnot, right?

You know, as someone preparing to move again, I'd say move where it best suits you. And if you don't like all the action--read: attacks--the cities see, definitely move out of the city limits. You can always get a car and commute with the porters if you want to live out of the way.

[cantwalkwithoutit]

I make enough with the "hipster brooms," as you call them. It's been quite a refreshing change of pace, actually. Fewer people bothering me at all hours. Generally friendlier customers.

The attacks do not inconvenience me that greatly thus far. [ And that might be the sound of someone knocking on wood. ] Tiresome? Yes, but not that much of a change from my last home.

[driftsintobuffetline]

I hear you. Went from a high-stress job to a lowkey thing myself. Retirement, man. Damn, it's nice. Or as close to retirement as I'll ever come.

Can't say the same for the attacks, though. Not much of a change from home, either, but not really something I want to continue to live with, you know? Especially since it's usually nothing more interesting than people being shitty.

[cantwalkwithoutit]

Oh even that can get interesting if you look far enough into it.

Maurtia Falls is a charming place, assuming you can keep the locals from making a business out of you. The rent on a new property might be prohibitive, but you know what they say about asking for help and receiving it from unlikely places.

[cantwalkwithoutit]

I do. But I also know how to take care of problems like that.

[angelfire]

Of course.

So what's wrong with Florida? The stench of rotting alligators and coastal blooming getting to you?

audio;

[cantwalkwithoutit]

I'm accustomed to cooler climates.

[catchacold]

I'm still wondering how anyone can stand being in Florida.

[He certainly can't, but... Roommates.]

My advice is to get out as fast as you can.

voice;

[cantwalkwithoutit]

Duly noted.

voice;

[catchacold]

Especially with hair like yours. Humidity must wreak havoc on that.

[cantwalkwithoutit]

That's an unusual observation to hear from a stranger who cannot see me.

I do echo the sentiment in regards to Maurtia Falls, which I will confess is a bit of a personal bias. But since I've become ambassador, I have been working hard to grant additional benefits to imPort run businesses within my city which could be something to consider if you do desire a change in location for not only yourself but your business.

video;

[cantwalkwithoutit]

Benefits, you say.

video;

[baetiful]

Incentives, tax cuts, and certain perks when it comes to healthcare and other such benefits. All matters still under negotiation, but all matters that will happen within Maurtia Falls, I assure you.

You'd think you'd appreciate an escape from Maine winters. Not so much, huh?

( honestly, Emma doesn't care if he moves from Florida to the Moon. that's his business. well... maybe not the moon. if only because she kind of needs him for something. )

audio

[cantwalkwithoutit]

Hearty winters I'm used to, even without certain technological amenities to make them easier.

[dreamcatcher]

Some people say change is good for you.

( her tone says she's not entirely sure she agrees. )

[ Max has had some... things happening in the last month, but he's good at sounding cheerful when he needs to. ]

For what it's worth, it's not like it's hard to get from one city to the other. With the porters, commuting is a cinch.

[Audio]

[cantwalkwithoutit]

Once I know where I'm going, it's less of an issue. It's one thing to go and another to stay, though.

Re: [Audio]

[crapbearer]

Maybe. I've done a lot of traveling back home, but I've never actually moved anywhere. Lived in the same house all my life. So I wouldn't really know about staying.
