[It's been two weeks since Reim arrived, and he's sort of vaguely managed to settle in. Which means the opportunity has arisen to dive headfirst into Modern Technology that will confuse him greatly, of course. At least he knows which way to hold the NV, as he addresses it politely,]
Hello, [beat] city. I've recently arrived, and from a place very much unlike this one, so please excuse my ignorance of proper procedure when I ask-
How would one go about learning to drive a car? Could someone-- if it isn't too much, that is, lessons would be... appreciated. Although I'm afraid I don't have any experience whatsoever.
[Pause. He makes a face.]
Well. I've driven a tank, but...
[But we don't talk about Tank Day. Reim taps his fingers thoughtfully before adding, brightly,]
I am also interested in obtaining some work.
[He gives the NV a little smile, the perfect, practiced smile of a professional who knows when to be extra nice.]
Of course, any assistance will-- BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP [--be interrupted by the very sudden sound of an alarm going off on his NV (accidentally set without his knowledge, oops), which makes him shout and drop the thing--it lands on his toes, he yelps again, and it turns itself off when it hits the floor.
Flawless first impressions.]

[ voice ]
he knows what button that is. Until he forgets.]No, that was-- I don't know what that was about. I don't have any appointments...
[ voice ]
It's an alarm. Apparently the people here have a hard time waking up first thing in the morning. [ it's actually rather amusing watching people struggle. Makes you wonder what they're doing at night, doesn't it? ]
[ voice ]
That's... good to know. [There's the noise of shuffling as he fusses with the NV, then,] I don't know how to turn it off.
[ voice ]
Oh, just press the button on the side. That should take care of the noise. [ for about eight minutes or so until it turns back on again. Ah, the glory of snooze... perfect ]
[ voice ]
The button... Oh, here it is. [What could possibly go wrong with this sound advice!] Thank you, Master Oz.
[ voice ]
No problem! It's the least I could do after all your help at Pandora. [ such as failing to tell him all about Sablier ]
[ voice ]
Right... I- do what I can, of course.
[ voice ]
... mostly. Oz wants a refund on the lava lamp, by the way. ] So why do you want to learn how to drive anyway? Do you dislike taking the bus? [ since, you know, public transportation is all the rage these days. ]
