[ a new voice comes across the network today, low in pitch, fantasy british, but with little inflection, like this is a person who is used to hiding her innermost thoughts. she considered using the video function, but she's still a little too cautious for that. ]

Right. So. Got a few questions. First: Anybody got a lead on good coffee 'round here? Best places, preferred makers or types? Haven't been this long without a cup since I was a teenager.

[ and nobody wants to see her make her own. it'll work for her, but, well.. the results are terrifying. ]

Second: I may be in the market for something to do. Back home I've a reputation for finding things, researching. Might be interested in helping out.

[ people who are good at reading between the lines can pick up that she means she is definitely interested in helping out and putting her expertise to good use. ]

Third: Any leads on writing ink? My pen could use a refill and I have more than a few notes to go over already.

Fourth: ...nail polish? Or is that too much to hope for?

[ this is something of a distraction. yes, she loves keeping her nails painted (specifically in teal) and her eyeliner game is to die for, but a lot of what she's asking for is also a way for her to judge who reacts and how. those reactions will tell her a lot about the type of people are here and who can potentially be trusted for what, who has what kind of information, and the like.

her connection game starts here. ]

[A baritone with a French accent responds.]

I know of one cafe, though I haven't stopped by just yet. I really ought to rectify that, honestly. Living on the back of a giant sea turtle is bad enough, let alone facing the ridiculous without serviceable coffee.

1. Surasthana Cafe [[insert address on Eltrut here]]
2. The MANTA Board is a good starting point
3. Seal & Cant [[insert address on Eltrut here]]
4. My apologies. I cannot help with this one.

While I've not the answers for some of the things you ask, I can tell you this.

As someone else who finds information, things, and people for a living, I suggest you make good friends with the animals. Pick up a magic through the tattoos that will allow you to speak to a family of choice.

[Benedikta and her birds, for example.]

And second: I know of several shops that sell high quality nail colours.

[Neve can take her pick on which one she would like to discuss first. :)]

Seen a lot of squid and octopus ink. Really doubt that'd work for writing, unless you want your notes to smell like the ocean.

[Davrin that's gross.]

Out of luck with coffee, though. Haven't paid much attention.

[ look she's not original with names. The voice that comes on has a similar accent to Neve's own voice. ]

I'm rather new myself, so if you get an answer to your first and fourth points, I'd love to hear about it. Personally I'm rather desperate for a good cup of tea.

[ but she'll take some good coffee. ]

A reputation for finding things, hm? Is it rude to ask what you did back home?

That depends on your definition of "good." Kavs has a place and that's the only one I'll go to. Of course that's because it's the only place I can find that can make it the way I'm used to.

[ Almyran coffee is... A thing. ]

There should be plenty of ink too. I know I haven't had any issues finding any.
