This story is a sequel to Management Material, and some characters are introduced there first.

Ros Tigris is getting settled in to their new place in Venture, an interdimensional shopping mall that often picks up people with nowhere else to go. Unfortunately it seems sometimes this mall picks up people without realizing it, and when that happens, there's nobody there to help guide them through the fact that magic and monsters are real and that this is good actually.
The mall has what's known as an Interpreter, who speaks with an interprets the will of Venture, and in the meantime, tries her best to solve major problems going on within its walls.

This would be easier if other key faculty didn't seem so intent on sabotaging these efforts.

writing is hard BUT I really wanted to get this one done (after like, months and months of pecking at it) because it introduces a big chunk of random folks in the mall, the type of people that are in the mall, and some idea of how the mall actually works, so I can just write other things going on in the mall without feeling like I need to establish too much. Now I just gotta get around to drawing reference pics of all the notable characters, as they are by default anyways.

wow that thumbnail is unreadable whoops
