Third Dispatch. I have Advice. Written.

[trinkett]

Dear Luceti,

My efforts to gain notice by the Malnosso Organization for my considerable human resources skills have not been enough, I fear.

To this end, I shall be offering my services free of charge: Effie's Advisements. No problem is too large or too small! We shall overcome -- together.

Most Sincerely,

Effie.

[That signature has a very elegant flourish to it.]

It is very simple: I wish to work for them. I am an accomplished woman and my skills are being quite wasted here, waiting for something to do.

[But -- not human?]

Perhaps I CAN share my knowledge! Would you mind telling me what you are?

I see... The Malnosso are not an organisation who seem as though they would be open to one of us working for them. I can only assume so however. I still do not know much about them. I am sure you will find a way to occupy yourself within Luceti. As a being of purpose myself I have had to do the same.

[Then again he didn't mind doing even the most mundane tasks. As long as it was something he was happy and healthy enough. As for what that being actually was...]

I am a Spirit, though after coming to Luceti I have been given a human body. It has been an... interesting experience so far.

A human body! [This IS interesting!] How ever did they manage to stuff you into it? Do you feel confined?

[Written]

[winds_voice]

Confined? Hmm, I do not believe so... I am able to change shape in my own world but this is simply not a form I have ever sustained myself. It is not uncomfortable, more... confusing. Humans are complicated creatures it seems. I am not accustomed to expressing or receiving their emotions and I am constantly attempting to memorise and learn about their many rituals.

Despite being something of a god to many of them in my home world I have always maintained a certain distance. That is impractical here... therefore I wish to learn more about them for my own wellbeing, as well as theirs.

I see. Well, I am quite an expert at being human!

[Though her humanity has been somewhat lacking, as it were.]

Is there anything specific I can help you with in the realm of human relations?

[Written]

[winds_voice]

There are many aspects of humanity I am still trying to understand. Love, war, betrayal... I wonder what triggers such a thing. I wonder if humans are all inherently selfish or... perhaps there are some out there who can truly be labelled 'good'. Do they befriend and help others for their own gain or do they believe in something more than that?

[trinkett]

Selfishness is a WONDERFUL trait! It keeps humans alive!

[Really. This is a very basic rule of survival. He DOES need her help.]

[Written]

[winds_voice]

[Wonderful? He wasn't quite expecting a description like that but... it seemed a lot more important than he had first imagined.]

I see... it is a trait designed for survival? If survival was that important, why would some humans perform such selfless acts at the risk of their own life? And could not performing certain selfless acts benefit the world as a whole if we all worked towards a common goal?

[Written]

[trinkett]

I'm not sure. [There is a pause in the writing, and then:] You might ask a Miss Katniss Everdeen about selflessness. I don't have a lot of information on that topic.

[It's not a quality taught in the Capitol.]

Common goals are still self-interested ones.

[Written]

[winds_voice]

Katniss Everdeen... All right, I will try to remember that name. Are you a friend of hers?

I suppose you are right. In the end, the individual seeks to succeed alongside everyone else even if they are heading in the same direction. Yet... in the past I had no thought to my own self. I continued to carry out the task I was born to do with no thought of why I was doing it or how it might affect me or others. If I carried on, the planet lived. If I faded away, the planet died.

In that case... I wonder if I really have started to become more human.

Might I suggest going for a relaxing massage? Some pampering? It's a way to truly get in touch with your own needs.

You Time.

Consider it!
