[It's been just about two weeks since Yuri's return to Luceti. He mostly kept to himself during this time, wanting to make certain he had most - if not all - of his memories of Luceti back before he made it clear that he was around again. ... And of course, before taking control of Brave Vesperia again. Seeing his guildmates and having no clue who half of them were wouldn't exactly win him any points with them, after all.

But now, he was sure he remembered most things. ... Little details weren't around, but he didn't see the details as being nearly as important as faces and names. Regardless, he decided that he'd done enough waiting around and flipped open his journal.]

[ voice ]

I guess I've put this off long enough. [... Geez, what does he even say? "Hey guys, I'm back, in case someone didn't know!" Wow, that's kind of lame. Uhm.] So ... for those who know me, I'm back again - and I remember most things, as far as I can tell. For those who've got no clue who I am ... I wouldn't worry about it. I'm just one of those guys who keeps winding up here for whatever reason. You know, one of the "lucky" ones. [You could practically hear the quotes around 'lucky'.]

Anyway, I'll be taking charge of Brave Vesperia again over the next few days. So, if you've got any business with the guild and need to contact the guy in charge, send a message out to Yuri Lowell. I'll get back to you when I can. Also, if any guild members have anything they feel should be brought to my attention or anything like that, just let me know.

[Hm ... Yeah, that should be good enough. Although, there is one last thing ...]

... Aside from all that, I've got a question. Does anyone know just who was in charge of that training school thing from a while back? I've got a few things to ask them, if they're still around.

[ action ]

[Aside from that bit of business he had to take care of, Yuri's also at the battle dome, trying to get used to using the control panel for it again. ... Sure, he's only got it to do basic things (send out monsters in a typical grassy field), but it's something. He'll figure the rest of it out later.

So yes, feel free to run into him while he tries to figure out how to do more than just super basic things with the battle dome, or even catch him while he's training there.]

No, not entirely.

Ah well, I suppose it can't be helped in a situation like this. I'm Jack, Jack Vessalius. Does that ring any bells now?

[Give him a second, and--]

... Ah, right. You were one of the new recruits.

That's right. See, you do remember me after all!

Don't get too excited - I'm only remembering a few things, for now. [a pause while he shrugs] But I'll probably remember whatever else I need to later.

Ah, well, I'm not sure there's all that much to remember as it is. I'd only just joined before you left. Music box makers aren't exactly in high demand around here, either.

... Ah, right. Well, I guess that explains why I was having trouble remembering you to start with. [That blunt statement aside--] Have you tried offering to make any of those things for anyone? Recently, I mean.

I made a pocket watch as a birthday gift for Nami, but that was a gift, not a job. Does that still count?

[ ....... ]

... Not really.

Now that's just cruel. I put my heart into it and it doesn't even count at all?

I'll take a wild guess and assume you didn't do it in the guild's name, so ... nope, not at all. [But he might as well lay down a suggestion, even if it's probably an obvious one.] Try to advertise what you can do sometime in the near future. Y'know, when things are calm around here, or whatever counts as "calm".

I could always mention it to her as an afterthought-- would that make it count?

Barely. What's wrong with just announcing over the journal what you're capable of?

Hmm, I guess I could always do that...

[... Wow, this guy's really being lazy. This'll teach him to just hire anyone ...

Welp, whatever. All phazers set to troll, then.]

Let me put it this way ... If you don't advertise your skills in the guild's name within two months, I'm making you carry the support beams for all the building projects we have backed up right now.

["Lazy" is Jack's middle name, Yuri. This is a fact you need to learn if you're going to let him in Brave Vesperia. Not that he can't work hard, he just... prefers not to.]

Eh? You'd really make me do that? I wouldn't be any good for that at all; I'm far too skinny. They'd probably just crush me and then you'd have to find someone else anyway, so why even ask me?

Then you better start doing some push-ups, or you're gonna have a hard time in the next few months.

But I'm a craftsman, not a laborer.

Well, if I don't see what I asked for within the next two months, you're gonna be both.

In that case, I'll just have to make sure to announce it to everyone before then!

That's better. I'll be keeping an eye on the calendar, though, so don't think I'm gonna forget about this by then.

Of course not-- I wouldn't expect you to forget something like this.

[Jack might forget, though.]

Good. Then I won't expect you to forget, either.

[better buy some post-it notes, jack .....]

Then we're agreed!
