Fund Raising Results? & Deputies [Video]
[when the feed cuts on, it's a steady image of Azura at her Lakendell office, her expression decidedly neutral. Those who have grown accustomed to reading her micro expressions, the slight uplift of her eyebrows or down turn of the corners of her lips, might catch a glimpse of disappointment in her facial expression.
Her voice is carefully even when she speaks.]
Greetings, everyone.
I've managed to sort out the results of the fundraising efforts through the date auction. It took longer than I had expected, however...
Unfortunately, we did not meet the goal I had hoped for, and needed, for the work to be done on the commons. Due to falling this short, I will instead donate the money towards maintaining what we have currently.
Since the apartments are located in Genessia City, I will send the funds to Genessia's Guardian once all accounts have been settled. I am... truly sorry this fundraiser did not accomplish what I had set out for it to do. My... sincerest apologies.
[She bows her head, solemn expression dipping out of view with the motion briefly. When she sits up straight again it's as though she's regained her composure. Disappointed and embarrassed as she is, she isn't going to show that on camera.]
I am still looking to fill two deputy positions for Fayren. If you wish to apply please contact me and tell me about previous, relevant, experience you may have had, and perhaps one or two things you wish to see happen in Fayren.
Thank you.

Deputized
Re: Deputized
[text]
Name: Konoka Konoe
Current Job: Business Owner of Mahora Fortune and Onmyoudo. More relevantly, I was a previous deputy that served under Mavis, who guided me to direct the healing events.
This actually ties in to what I want to see more of in Fayren: more trained healers and the ability to operate cross-city in times of crises. There was a previous cross city business called "Heals on Wheels", so I want to be able to make that successor happen!
As for the fundraiser, I'm sorry to hear you didn't reach your goal. Whether or not you take me on, I'm willing to lend a hand however I can.
no subject
I am simply curious. [she says this with a small, but genuine, smile.]
no subject
[ Cue mild surprise when her text gets a video reply. ]
But I thought I said I wanted to start up the Heals on Wheels Successor? Though you bring up a good point that the workload could be fierce if I try for both... I thought funding and clout might come a little easier if I'm still a deputy.
Hmmmm...
no subject
That is, if you do want to attempt both. I will support you as I can, either way. [After all, even knowing her for such a short amount of time, she wants to see her new friend succeed.]
no subject
But maybe this'll be easier if I ask another question: what do you plan to do as Guardian? I wonder if I'll be a better help as a Deputy, or as a Head of Heals on Wheels, or whatever I call its successor?
no subject
Unlike Everglade, there are much fewer controversies to navigate. [she hums softly in thought.] Closing the gap between the mages and non magical folk would be second priority. Easing those tensions would go a long way.
no subject
[ Most unfortunately, it didn't make her decision any easier. So Konoka thought for a while. Though by the looks of things, nothing seemed to require that she be a deputy, given that much of what she'd do was healing anyway.
But it was that chain of thought that finally let her have her conclusion. It would be a bit before Konoka spoke again. ]
In that case, I'm gonna step down from that offer. So sorry, it kinda makes me feel a little wishy washy, but I know what I want to do, just not how, and I feel like I might be a better help as someone who isn't a deputy right now.

[However, the experience did bruise his ego a bit. He expected more bids than what he got. Don't expect him to complain, though.]
no subject
But I hope it does not discourage you, the lack of participation should not make you feel as though it was a failure on your end.
no subject
[He shakes his head, reassuring smile never leaving his face.]
And I understand. I have no intention of letting something like that bother me.
[He can rebuild his ego. That's easy enough.]
no subject
I just hope that the others who participated feel the same.
no subject

Hopefully in the future, efforts will be... more fruitful.
no subject
You brought people together with your party, and I saw a lot of people making friends. That's invaluable here. If people hole up and ignore each other, then we can't get anything done in the future. Don't be so mean to yourself. Ne?
no subject
[the peptalk is nice, and she offers Satou an appreciative smile.] If you ever face a challenge, you have an ally in me.
no subject
Are you having good luck with your deputy applications?
no subject
And you? Did your selections go smoothly?
[action]
He teleports into her office, without an actual plan. After waiting to be sure she's stopped broadcasting, Uai steps up behind her and hums in greeting/warning. He doesn't want to surprise her.]
Shigure and I are gonna take an afternoon nap. Want in?
[this is news to Shigure.]
no subject
Right now, that sounds like the most appealing way to spend the rest of the afternoon. [she pauses, lifting a hand to thread her fingers gently in his hair.] But only if it won't keep you from things you should be doing.
no subject
Nn-nn. I offered, after all. [Also, having his hair played with is slowly killing him. Uai specifically grew it out so Hana could play with it, back when that was the most intimate thing they could do together. The feeling reminds him briefly of how cold and isolated his life used to be: Back when he would never have returned a hug, or dared to sleep.]
Just be there when I wake up. Kay?
no subject
But this? Right now, this was easing those creaking pains she'd been feeling.] Your room or mine?
no subject
[That answer may make it apparent that nope, Uai didn't think this through. It isn't actually "napping with Shigure," because their giant pup isn't actually waiting to nap with the family. This has all been about being with Azura.
He's so good at this sneaky lying stuff.]
Your room is probably closer, hm?
no subject
Chaste naps.] I can't remember the last night I got a truly sound sleep.
no subject
Especially when she accidentally worries him.]
Are you not sleeping well? I didn't realize... [Should he be noticing those things? Uai isn't sure. Sleep is something he only started paying attention to when they started taking chaste naps together.]

Ah, sorry to hear that Azura. For what it's worth, it was very fun. And, though this is but a theory, I doubt the ones who manage the Commons would've let you improve things any. I believe that building to be shabby intentionally, so's to provide the motivation for employment. Had it any decency, then, horror of horrors, its tenants may not wish to leave.
Not to disparage your goodwill, mind. If you're really hard-up for deputies, I could offer my services. Done some bounty work there every so often, and I'm familiar with the literature.
[I.e. he still reads fairy tales.]
no subject
I will keep you in mind with the other applicants for deputies though, Ted. Thank you for throwing your offer in. It means a lot that you would be willing to work with me in such a capacity.

Re: [Video]
[a pause.] But I would never reject your help otherwise
[Video]
I completely understand, darling. Just because I'm not a deputy though, don't think you can't call on me for anything.
no subject
[It means a lot to her, all things considered. There had been a time when she'd felt so much more uncertain about the Nohr siblings.]
