"What can you do well enough that will make people want to pay you to do it. Cook? Clean? dig? Sew? My cousin was a mean leatherworker, could turn half a quillboar into 10 jackets." Jack explained.

"Well hey, look at that! two fine upstanding professions! Why are you two shmucks talking to little old me again? Hell, you could get a job doing those things practically anywhere. Just gotta talk to the right people. Tell you what Heno, we'll ask the village elder guy a nearby town that could use its amazing crime fighter. Get you on the law force, have you getting a steady paycheck and 3 square meals a day." Jack stood up and stretched, slipping his harmonica back into its holster. "Tell me soldier boy, whats your name? I figure it'd be good to know an engineer's name."
"Crime fighter can not be part of law! That is what makes difference between Lawman, and Crime Fighter so important. Crime Fighter is outside of law, and helps fight for the good of people. Lawman is bogged by Bureaucracy which means many crimenal go free because of poletics. Poletics is very bad for the good of people often."
Jack nodded as Heno spoke. "I can see the problem. Thats a bit of a challenge. You'd need a big city to properly crime fight, wouldn't ya? We'll have to ask about that. In the meantime, you might have to be a lawman. Just to make enough money to get by."
Jack smirked when he saw Homer Peron's reaction, before stiffening his spine and spitting out "Private Peron! Tell me, what does the full skill set of an Engineer mean to you?"

Aquamarine and Topaz listened in on the conversation, not having much to add. "Ain't ya glad we dot have to eat or sleep, Aqua?"
"Yes. It seems like far too much to worry about."
"Yes. It seems like far too much to worry about."
"Uh, I destroy enemy fortifications and vehicles, repair allied vehicles and fortifications, and provide supporting fire to the unit." Homer spouted off automatically.
"And tell me, Private Peron, with what materials do you perform the job of engineer?" Jack barked almost as soon as Homer finished speaking.
"Just the tools I have on me, really." Homer replied, checking again to make sure he had all his tools on him still.
Aquamarine rolled her eyes and stepped forward. "I realize you all need to eat to survive, but maybe it would be wiser to find out more about where we are before you decide to start new careers?"
"Then sleep and ask the villagers about food in the morning. It seems a bit extreme to decide on a new job for a few months when you just got here. If need be, you can hunt and gather like your kind used to do when I last saw you."
"I'm not that concerned about food." Homer said to the strange woman. Then he looked at her again and was rather surprised by what he saw.
Jack politely smiled and turned to Aquamarine. "We're in the land of the Kairisi, who are primarily traders in good times and pirates in bad. the sea we look upon is the boiling sea. There are multiple continents and, while they are not fully explored, most of the information about them is known. This is a fishing village, going off Shara's faintly fishy odor. Thats all the information I have right now, but it is useful isn't it?"
"Hunting and gathering is not good way to sustain self. I am sure others do it, but I could not. I certainly can not tell you what plants that grow in the forest are edible. A diet of just meat is not healthy, blue friend. It is certainly not a bad idea to decide how to get money at this moment. One who does not work does not eat."
"It is helpful. Thank you. But what I really want to know is what dangers might be around in this world."Aqua told Jack.
She turned to Heno. "That's quite a hassle just to avoid dying. I pity you humans, but I will help if I can."

"Dangers of every world is same! People, spirits, demons, and wildlife. Two of those are easy to deal with, ya! And I ain't talking about wildlife if you get my meaning, ha! And I pity you for not understand greatness of being human!"
