Scenario I: Zeta District- If one is to be stuck somewhere for an extended period of time, it's a good idea to get a feel for the neighborhood. Poke around in corners and all that, get weird looks from NPC's. Like moving into any new place.

Getting to know the neighbors is probably a good idea too. He's not going door to door introducing himself or anything, but he's more than happy to chat with anyone who approaches.

Y'know, assuming you don't come at him with a shotgun. He's prepared for that, too.

Scenario II: Afterlife- Outside or inside. If outside, Kirrahe is hanging around near a group of whiny alien NPC's, nonchalantly listening in to whatever random conversation they're having. The elcor bouncer keeps giving him weird looks, but Kirrahe doesn't seem to care.

If inside, he's doing much of the same, though is likely spending much of his time cloaked (most likely how he got in in the first place 8U). If he's not hanging out near a random wall, he'll be at the bar. You'd be surprised how much information you can pick up from a bunch of drunks.

Scenario III: Omega Market- Seeing as Kirrahe's weapons and equipment are outdated by a good three years, you bet your ass he's going to be out price checking. Whether or not he'll actually be able to afford any of this stuff in the near future remains to be seen. Still, weapons can make for interesting conversations.

As far as 'lecture modes' go, that was relatively easy. He'd sat through Mordin Solus lectures before. Those are painful, but at least they made sense.

"I can't say I really understand any of that, but I think I get the basic idea."

So this guy was immortal and could turn into a fluffy wolf. Sure, that made perfect sense. Except that it didn't but hey, it probably wasn't the strangest thing on Omega right now.

"As far as 'your version' of Earth is concerned, I've seen plenty of evidence pointing to alternate universes. Our scientists have had theories about this sort of thing for centuries, but there's never been a realistic way to effectively research it."

[professorwolf]

"This may be a good time and place to do some of that research," Lyall commented dryly. "Given how many different people are here from how many different places. No one seems to be familiar with werewolves as I know them, though I have met others who are familiar with the concept in a different fashion. It is quite odd, particularly to someone who has had no concept of the idea of multiple, alternate universes."

Read: Lyall. He'd been dealing fairly well with it all, he thought, but it was still quite bewildering. Hence his skulking around as a wolf trying to learn all he could.

[motivationalspeaker]

"I can understand that. It's confusing enough for the rest of us, but you're completely out of your element here."

Stating the obvious wasn't exactly helpful though, was it. The least Kirrahe could do was answer this guy's questions, if he had any.

"My apologies for the impromptu interrogation. If there was anything you needed to know from me, I'd be more than happy to answer a few questions."

[professorwolf]

"Quite all right. I expected it when I decided to reveal myself. I am relatively comfortable with most aspects of this new place, though I will confess to being quite...." He paused, searching for the word, and went with: "Bored with the current occupations." Namely, construction, and while he's seen errands available, that is hardly any better, and pays worse. "Menial labor is simply not what I am accustomed to, and rather a waste of my talents. If you have any advice on finding employment of a more investigative or bureaucratic nature, I would be in your debt. All of my experience is from a world quite unlike this one, and thus counts for very little here."

[motivationalspeaker]

"That might be tricky. I don't imagine many people have use for bureaucracy on Omega. I don't want to recommend joining a mercenary group, but I don't know of who else would have use of someone with investigative talents. There isn't a proper police force around here."

Kirrahe gave the human a little shrug, "Sorry I can't really be of more help. I'm at something of a loss regarding my own employment."

[professorwolf]

"No police force. Wonderful." Of course, he hadn't seen any police force so far... but that didn't necessarily mean there wasn't one. Did there? Ugh. How barbaric. "So there are no businesses requiring someone to keep track of their shipments or sales, or requiring a secretary of sorts?" All of which were completely within his purview... and more palatable than working for mercenaries, of all people.

[motivationalspeaker]

"There very well could be. I couldn't tell you who to talk to about it, I've only arrived here myself a short while ago."

As good as Kirrahe was at turning up information, that hadn't really been the sort of information he'd been looking for up until this point.

"I can find out for you, but I'll need time. Omega's a big place, after all."

[professorwolf]

"That is very kind of you, but you have your own troubles to concern yourself with." Lyall sighed, considering the situation for a beat, and settled on: "Perhaps if you would be so kind as to point me towards what I ought to be looking for, and I can go from there myself. I have not had to concern myself with an occupation for a terribly long time, but I believe I could at least sniff something up if I knew what best to look for. A particular part of this city, or a particular sort of person, perhaps?"

[motivationalspeaker]

"As far as that goes, all I can recommend is talking to the merchants down in the markets. It's probably unlikely that too many of them would have mercenary loyalties, that wouldn't be good for business." It wasn't much for advice, but it was a starting point at least. "Even a job like that carries risks here. Exercise caution and you should be fine."
