[A young, blonde teenager can be seen on the screen. She's dressed up--the better to impress people--and gives a smile and a wave before she starts in with her spiel.]

Hi everyone! I'm Rikku, and I've been here for a couple of months now. I'm a witch, which is taking some getting used to, but that's not the point of this post.

The other witches say that I'll explode if I don't find someone, and people I know have confirmed it. I really don't want that to happen, you know? It sounds painful and awful, and other people could get hurt too.

Sooooo... are there any monsters out there looking for a bondmate? Or anyone out there with advice on how to find a good one?

I promise I'll be a good bondmate! I'm loyal and friendly and I'll even help you out with things! I'm good with my hands and can help you build or fix whatever you have around the house. I can kind of cook. I'm good with kids. I can braid your hair if you're into that kind of thing.

[She pauses, scratching her chin as she thinks of other selling points and comes up with nothing.]

Um, if you have any questions or want to verify anything I just said, you can always ask my housemates Lighting and Karin and Ann. They're really nice and will be honest with you.

[Nailed it. Hopefully this works!]

Yeah, a bond of convenience is all I really need. We can figure things out from there.

Thanks for the advice! Now I just have to find a monster companion!

If nothing else turns up, I would be willing to provide something temporary, if only to help you prevent yourself from "exploding".

[al_bhed]

Wow, thank you! That's really nice of you... uh...

What's your name?

[arturiarex]

Forgive me, I ought to have introduced myself.

You may call me Saber.

[al_bhed]

Saber it is, then.

Thank you, Saber!

[arturiarex]

Of course. Someone extended the same kindness to me when I arrived here.

[al_bhed]

I'm glad they did. We have to look out for each other, you know?

Once I get bonded, I should start looking on the message boards to see if people need help...

[arturiarex]

There's always someone looking for assistance.

Since we're guests here, I do my best to ensure that I'm able to assist and to protect the city.

[al_bhed]

That's a good way of looking at it, yeah. I'll do my best, too!

[arturiarex]

I shall wish you good fortune, then.

Let me know if you require more assistance or if your search for a bonded turns up empty otherwise or even if you simply need someone to show you the city.

[ Be warned, she's not the most enthralling tour guide. ]

[al_bhed]

Thanks! I'll let you know if I need anything.

[arturiarex]

Very well.

Good luck.
