Robin had dealt with her awakening with a fair amount of calm, moreso than most others. Given the way her life had gone she expected the worst from the moment her eyes opened and...winding up on some other world entirely was actually not the worst thing she could imagine. At least she wasn't bound in chains this time. The fact that her powers weren't working right now was disconcerting, but the explanation she was given was acceptable, even if it wasn't comforting.
For now though, she stands at the bay window of the airship lounge, watching the scenery go by far below, gently leaning against the window with one hand. Her fingers twitch as she tries to sprout another hand but fails. She glances at her hand, frowning briefly, but then looks back out at her view.
"I never thought I'd see the ocean from this far up." The crew had certainly taken some high vantage points before, but nothing as peaceful as this.
D) Guilds
Listening to the explanations of the guilds and the boons the Jobs could offer them, Robin was quietly fascinated. It was interesting that powers and skills that would be horded by the Marines and the World Government in her own world would be so freely shared here. And that she could so openly engage in the study of Archaeology certainly caught her interest. Scholar was definitely something on her short list.
But as each Guild made their offer her eyes lit up with a soft twinkle at one in particular. She stepped ahead of the others and got just a touch too deep into the guildmaster's personal space.
"Yes. I'd like to know more about this Necromancy."
G) Other Jobs
But regardless of her choices of Job, the fact that she could openly and peacefully research this world was not something to be passed up on. She left her name with different institutions she could reach, but for the time being the library seemed like a nice place to settle. After all, this would be the best way for her to learn about this world in general before she started to dig into its secrets.
Unfortunately, it seemed all her papers, unpublished as they were, were still back in her home world, so she wasn't able to start herself off as a section curator, but that was just fine.
She smiled as she sat at the reference desk, fingers clasped as she looked at the approaching customer. Her eagerness was sincere, a thing that might be a surprise to those who knew her.
