genessia | Faye in the Fall - Video and Action Options

[video]

*It had taken Faye a few days to get round to making this video, thanks to a particularly hurtful fall out, and to the upsetting things said about her on that anon post. Still, Faye now had a job to do, so here she was, posture straight, looking very business-like. What is especially new for Faye is her outfit, one she had put together to reflect her new job. The hat is her favourite part of the outfit, an indication that she is someone worthwhile*

My name is Faye Valentine, and I'd like to introduce myself as a new Deputy Guardian of Nova City.

*There was a genuine smile then - small, but real - because she really is excited about starting this new job, hopefully a promising improvement on her life here*

It is important to me that the residents and visitors of Nova City are safe - please feel free to contact me if ever you feel that your safety is being jeopardised, and I will do my best to help.

[action - Nova City patrolling]

Faye has spent the past two years living in Nova so she is pretty used to the streets, but now that she is deputy guardian, she wants to get to know it better. She moves her shifts to get to see the city at all times of day - sometimes walking in the early morning, sometimes late at night, and sometimes strolling around during the daytime hours. If she sees anyone in trouble, she'll approach to help and, more to the point, if she seems someone causing trouble, then she'll be there to immediately check the situation. No doubt she will meet all sorts as she does her rounds.

[action - down time drinking]

After a long shift of patrolling, Faye is ready for a drink and a relax. To do so, she will take herself to a bar for a drink and a smoke, time to think and unwind. If she has been in Nova all day, she'll likely stay there for a drink in the evening, again trying different establishments, more to get a feel for what is happening around the city. If she has been working an early or late shift, Faye will head out some lunch alongside a beer, and might venture to Genessia or even Fayren for that. She will stay very clear of Everglade. Chances are, if you're out drinking or having lunch in a bar somewhere, Faye will very possibly be there too. Always alone, usually keeping thoughts to herself. After a drink or two, she won't exactly look like the happiest woman you ever did see.

Really?

*Again, maybe it is the things she's had said apart herself lately, or the breakdown in communication she'd had with her best friend, but Faye was surprised at the invitation. Not wanting to appear ungrateful, Faye nodded gently*

That would be nice.

Lovely. We shall meet again after our shifts are over. I'll be by the gate to Genessia and take you somewhere in Fayren. I know a good place there so until then, Deputy.

[ Ayame closes the feed with a proper goodbye. She'd love to stay and chat but she doesn't want to abandon work, and make Faye look bad for being on the phone while on duty. But a part of her feels bad for having to promote her business like this, but at the same time she does want to help Faye feel better. She made her inn with that purpose in mind, so she figured that she might as well.

During the course of Faye's patrols though, Ayame took some of her own time to spread the news of Faye's induction to the Guardianship to the people of Nova, most of whom are aware already but Ayame's efforts reminded them of their own anticipation of this new Deputy Guardian. Ayame left and hid on another rooftop somewhere just as Faye's route take her to a plaza nearby. Citizens in the plaza greeted Faye with friendly waves and smiles, welcoming and congratulating the new Guardian. Ayame listens from where she stood for a moment, then leaving to resume her own patrol route. She hopes this warm reception further helps Faye's confidence for the rest of the day.

Another day has passed and the sun is beginning to set over Nova. Ayame is where she was, as promised earlier. Waiting by the gate while still clad in her combat gear. She raises her arm when she sees Faye arrive, waving and beckoning her friend over ]

Good evening. So, how was your first day?

*It was back to business for Faye, but it was enjoyable going about her day knowing that there was some relaxation and fun to come at the end of the day. On top of that, people were actively welcoming her, saying hello, waving, giving her kind and encouraging words. It was all completely mindblowing for Faye, so unlike any day she had had since arriving here.

She heads over to Ayame with a nod and a smile as she approaches*

It was...nice. People were nice.

*Faye definitely sounds quite bewildered about this*

You'll find that to be true every day. Just remember to think and be positive.

[ Faye's outlook is beginning to change. Not completely yet, as Ayame noticed Faye's bewilderment about all of this. It's going to take some time, and she's going to make sure to be there for Faye and help her adjust. Ayame takes the first step through the archway to Genessia, where she would just want to hear about Faye's anecdotes. Soon enough they'll make it to Fayren, where Ayame calls a carriage to take them outside of the city. Carriages provide a different feel than cars. It's a little rockier and slower, but at least they'll have more time to appreciate the woods in autumn along the way. The carriage stops and Ayame was first to exit, offering her hand to help Faye down like a knight would a princess. Before them, is a stone stairway leading to the Japanese-styled gate of Amatsu ]

Welcome to Amatsu.

Every day...?

*Faye just shakes her head in disbelief, amused to think that Ayame may actually be right about that. She fills Ayame in with the details of her day, again amused to see the carriage that has come to collect them - this day is just so wildly different to her usual days already. She smiles when Ayame helps her out of the carriage, then steps away to take a look at the stairway*

Wow... This your new place?

My new place of business, yes. But I'm in the process of actually just staying here. It would save me time and money that way.

[ Ayame beckons Faye to follow, passing through the gate and the small path from it to the main entrance where she takes her shoes off, replacing it with comfortable slippers. She instructs Faye to do the same. ]

What do you think? It's a place with relaxation in mind, so we have spas and hot-spring baths, with various dining options as well if you're hungry. Which would you rather do first?

How do you have the time for all of this?

*She does sound impressed, though, rather than that she was confused or disapproving. When they approach the entrance, Faye gives a low whistle of approval*

This is really something you've got here.

*She's gazing around at everything as she pulls off her boots and puts them aside*

All of it sounds amazing. But I think I'd pass out in the heat without something to eat first. If that's okay.
