[video] Warlord's Convocation

[the_roseblack]

[Of course it had been a foregone conclusion that the Roseblack would take Guardianship of the central city. Ejava couldn't very well leave it in the hands of some mortal. It was hardly surprising no one had been foolish enough to run against her.

The feed opens on the Dragonblooded general sitting in the City Guardian's office, clad in her full green Jade armor.]

Citizens of Genessia, I am pleased to announce that as of today I have been officially appointed Guardian of Genessia City. You have my word that I will carry out my duties as City Guardian with the skill and dedication befitting an Exalted member of the Scarlet Dynasty, effective immediately.

This announcement is also to serve as a call for deputies. I will require skilled officers, fighters, and investigators to assist in maintaining security throughout the city. I encourage anyone interested in the position of Deputy Guardian to contact me as soon as possible. [A general needs officers and soldiers to lead, after all.]

[Kairi paused slightly. After all that time in the the world she had figured she was a pretty skilled fighter by now. She wonders if she could do something like this.]

I know I can fight. [She's gone up many a person and while she only ever killed one man, she knew how to at least disarm rather than kill.]

But I figured you'd judge me for how old I must look, but I've been in many a battle in the last world I was in and have the scars for it too.

[Ejava had already been enrolled in the House of Bells at Kairi's age, and schooled in archery and swordplay even before that. It's not unusual to her that someone that young could know how to fight, although enlisting in actual armed service at that age is.]

I'll let your skills speak for themselves. Come to the City Guardian's Office for assessment.

[She had to think about where it was for a moment before giving a small but determined nod.]

Alright, I'll be there as son as I can. [With that she switches off and makes her way. It takes her at least ten minutes or so before she manages to arrive.]

action; i haven't played kingdom hearts :U

[the_roseblack]

[General Tepet is out front waiting for Kairi when she arrives. After exchanging greetings, she leads the girl inside and to a moderately-sized dojo-styled training room.]

Before you show off your fighting skills... have you ever led a group in a combat situation? And how are you with taking orders? I need soldiers and officers, not lone warriors who will get themeselves and their teammates killed trying to be the hero.

Congratulations.

[ he can't offer to be one of her people, though. he's already promised his services to his sister — naturally. ]

[the_roseblack]

Prince Zuko. I'm pleased to hear from you.

Give my regards to your sister. Will you be taking a place as her deputy?

[Video]

[thefirstwife]

Oh goodie. Somebody to play with.

[OOC]

[the_roseblack]

[Was Gabe using Lilith's form when he was trolling Rosie at the cafe, or was he just taking the shape of some other undefined little girl? I vaguely remember you mentioning something like that in one of the posts maybe...?]

[OOC]

[thefirstwife]

We can always say that they almost look alike, except for a few key differences. I am open to anything

[video] ok I was pretty sure Lilith got mentioned somewhere in there so let's

[the_roseblack]

You again?! [Could it be the spirit who'd played such insufferable games with her and some man at the cafe? Gabriel never had revealed it'd been him doing it all along.]

What are you after this time, spirit?

[rulerofme]

Didn't have much competition, did you? Congrats anyway.

[the_roseblack]

Would it have mattered if someone had opposed me? [She evidently doesn't think so.]

Thank you for your support, regardless.

[rulerofme]

If the person was really charismatic and got everyone on their side? Yeah.

[the_roseblack]

[He can't be talking about a Solar... right?]

They'd have to be quite charismatic indeed.

It doesn't matter. The lack of opposition is proof enough that I am the best choice. When no one else will even step up to seek the position, it naturally falls to the Dragonblooded to protect mortals.

"General, I've always admired the way you attempt to grasp power. But a fine administrator in war cannot always translate to maintaining peace."

[Well, if it isn't Mnemon showing up to say 'hello' in her own special way!]

"You always seemed to be one with a bleeding heart for your precious 'people', of course. I'm hardly surprised you've edged your way into this seat without opposition. There's a few issues we must discuss later, so I'll make this brief."

[And then, a faint smile.]

"I hope your arm is well enough to hold a pen, Guardian Tepet, without longing for sword."

[Video] biiiiiitch XD

[the_roseblack]

Lady Mnemon, you do flatter me so.

If you're truly so worried about me and my sword arm, I'm not above accepting your help. I'm sure Thorn would be quite sated by a taste of your life's blood. [Thorn, of course, is the name of her Daiklave.] I might even commission a statue to commemorate your sacrifice.

Re: [Video] biiiiiitch XD

[scarlet_heiress]

"While I'd certainly like a statue in my honour, I'd rather it not be posthumous one. Beside the point, who else in this world would replace /my/ company? Certainly not those you represent."

[A small, short pause as she considered how to put things.]

"But, yes, I do have some measure of concern for your term as Guardian."

[She sighed a little, looking slightly worried. Or vexed. Take your pick, really. Her next words couldn't sound any more needlessly condescending.]

"As I've said before I shall work with you as much as I'm able...but I should be allowed to make your faults known, for your own improvement, at least. It will do you no good if you treat your erstwhile allies this way..."

[Video] Celebratory drink?

[notsoholyspirit]

[Spirit is smiling at the camera.]

Well congratulations, Miss Ejava. Or General.

...Or Guardian.

[Video] yay drinks! And it was General/Lady/Guardian Tepet

[the_roseblack]

Ah, it's you. Spirit, wasn't it?

My thanks for your support.

[He wouldn't be interested in being a Deputy, would he? She's seen him turn fully into a scythe and back but has little reason to suspect he can actually fight by himself yet.]

Cool so he totally did that above XD;;;; Sorry

[notsoholyspirit]

Spirit, yeah. The one you cut open.

[He laughs when he says it, without a hint of malice. Worse things had happened since that first encounter, anyway.

As for being a Deputy, she'd likely have to bring it up. He's happy to help the cause, but reserved about his own skills--especially without a meister. Though his rather nonchalant attitude hid it well, the set of his shoulders and attentive gaze betrayed him as someone who had served as a soldier for more than half his life]

Anyway. How about a drink to celebrate? My treat.

[video]

[soundmind]

Ma'am, I have experience as a soldier, whatever you need help with I'd be happy to volunteer.

[Hey it's a bitty that vaguely looks like that scytheguy. The question of her age doesn't even come up, just, hey I'm a soldier, as if the straight-backed posture and level stare didn't give that away.]

I have experience with different weapons, though I mostly use scythes, and I was leader of my squad back at home.

[video]

[the_roseblack]

Are all the soldiers from other worlds children...? Never mind. Come to the City Guardian's Office and I'll see if you're any good. What's your name?

[Looking a little closer at Maka, she does note a certain resemblance...] Forgive me if this makes no sense to you, but... these weapons wouldn't happen to be people, would they?

[I did a diceroll for that Perception check :|
Juuust made it.]

[video]

[soundmind]

Maka Albarn.

[That about confirms it right there. She'll let the implication that it's unusual for children to be soldiers slide for now.]

Yes, you know about Demon Weapons? --Actually, come to think of it... [She squints. Yeah, this woman's pretty, no doubt--] You've probably met my dad already. Tall guy, red hair, turns into a scythe?

[accidental video]

[blackkirin]

[Holy CRAPNUTS, intimidation levels at max!

Er, ahem, have an accidental video from a flustered young 'man'. Since the mun has only a very small experience with Exalted (which was amazeballs), not sure if his inhuman aura would leak through the feed. He's only 13...]

Ah... [He appears to look to the side at something, probably a book or flyer before looking back at the screen.] Is that more like a police commissioner, or a Province-General... [Poor Ejava, it's going to be a minute or two of watching Taiki look through various books before the feed cuts out.]

Re: [accidental video]

[the_roseblack]

[OOC: Haha yes Exalted is da best don't even get me started on how awesome it is and how my mixed Celestials group liked to start fights by jumping out of an airship and perfect-parrying the ground.

Aaaanyway nope the Roseblack doesn't have any Essence Sight or that sort of thing. She'd only have normal human senses as far as detecting spirit auras and stuff is concerned.]

Did you have a question, boy?
