This is Asterios.

I am asking for advice.

I want to do the jobs. But I am not sure which job would be better for this place.

Cultivators or Sentinels. I can use strength for both. I am very strong.

When it comes to fights, I can lose myself to madness.

But for farming, I scare people, difficult to work with them.

What would be better for Asgard? What would be better for everyone else?

[ It's hard to offer a solution to the whole madness problem, but the other one doesn't seem as impossible. ]

Maybe farming would be easier if you can find some people you know who are planning on doing it as well? Then you can have some people around who wouldn't be scared.

You want me to ask around?

[tealeafs]

You could

[ 'Ask your friends', she almost types, but then realises who was asking and figures that might be sensitive, considering his attitude.. ]

ask around, yes. You could also just try to overhear people talking about it if you don't want to ask. There seemed to be a lot of people near the notice board earlier looking at the jobs.

[beefaroni]

How do I overhear?

I am tall. And large. I do not blend in.

I think Sigyn is the one who does the farming. She's really nice, and I'm sure she'd be happy to help introduce you to the other farmers. If you're not dangerous or hostile, I think giving people some time to get to know you would make them relax and stop being scared.

[beefaroni]

I am dangerous. But that is in battle. If I am not fighting, I have no reason to hurt anyone.

[Text]

[theprezident]

Then I don't think anyone has any reason to fear you.

If farming is something you want to do, I think you should talk to Sigyn about it. I'm sure she'll be understanding.

I am aligned with Heimdell.

Heimdell will not be mad?

[momsboy]

Ey, Fluffy.

[ Peter gives him a smile. it's been some time since he talked to Asterios. ]

Perhaps you can be a Sentinel but ask to be paired up with someone who can help you stay focussed and not lose yourself? You told me you had a master, a friend. Isn't that what she did for you?

[beefaroni]

[Sorry, Peter, you're only getting text on this end. With the "curse" in effect, Asterios has some things to hide.]

Master is different. Master is mage. I am bound to Master by magic. By contract.

[ That's okay, Peter almost always uses video because it's faster than text but he doesn't mind if others answers in kind. ]

Ah, I see. Most of us can do magic now and some people have protective spells. My friend Finn can conjure up a shield and you've already seen my elemental. We can defend ourselves and help keep you in check. I still think that teaming up could be the key to make things easier but if you aren't sure, that's ok.

Farming could be a good job, it doesn't matter if some ignorant people get scared as long as the animals like you. And the last time we talked you were covered in puppies and cats, so I think that goes without question.

[beefaroni]

Animals don't judge. Animals don't feel fear the same way people do.

It has nothing to do with the god-offered jobs, but if you're looking to keep busy while still helping out, I run a farm and we could always use another pair of hands.

We have a few natives coming by every so often, so maybe it would be a nice way for them to get used to you. Although if you don't mind me asking-- how is it that you scare people?

[beefaroni]

I am a monster. I have always frightened others. I am used to this.

[winscenario]

Well, I'm not easily frightened. And the farm is mostly animals, if you treat them well they'll be fine with you, I'm sure.

[beefaroni]

Animals do not feel fright the same way humans do. They cannot judge.

[baisunas]

Why is it you feel you scare people? Does it have to do with this madness you mentioned?

text

[beefaroni]

Yes. I am a monster. Berserker. Madness is part of me. Cannot control without Master here. Madness appears when I am angry. When I am in battle.

[baisunas]

In my experience, monster is something of a subjective term that has a different meaning to everyone. How do you define it?

[carrotkeeper]

Hey, why won't we try farming together? I'm not easy to scare and we can learn the ropes together.

text

[beefaroni]

Why would you offer without knowing who or what I am?

text

[carrotkeeper]

Because you can't be that bad of a person if you're working this hard to find a way to help people. So let's work together, okay?

Audio - UN: GallowsCallibrator

[mindseer]

Hmmm...

...

So, if someone fights in this city, or tries to attack? I know you're gonna be there. It's kind of what you do. Kind of your 'thing.' But... you're wanting to be more. Maybe cultivators? I don't think you'd be that hard to work with, and the thing is?

Someone attacks the farms, you are right there, and those farmers can't fight for crap.

Text

[beefaroni]

I did not think of that.

Yes. Farm need protecting.

[mindseer]

Exactly. Farmers need protecting, and you're good at protecting. It's a win win right there, isn't it? [She grinned. She was keeping to Audio so he could actually understand her.]

What I like about this is it lets you be both, and you wanna be both of something don't you? More than just a fighter?
