13th Campaign [Video]

[weavemyownfate]

[Sorry, jack. Satsuki's back. The Nova City Guardian appears on the feed looking a little a touch roughed up, light bruises and hair a bit mussed, yet her expression is as stone-faced as always. Though those who know her well enough may realize she's actually pretty annoyed.]

Attention denizens of Genessia. To those who do not know me I am Satsuki Kiryuin, City Guardian of Nova City. Clarification of what the position means will have to come at a later time. For now I would like to bring notice to the Shrine Maiden position in the Genessia Newspaper. As of now, I am raising the payroll from two-star grade to three.

To anyone interested in the position, I would appreciate if you contact me before applying. Thank you.

[Private to Maka]

Albarn, contact me when you are available.

[Private to Elite Four]

Jakuzure, Gamagori, Fujisaki and Komeiji; meeting at Nova HQ in thirty minutes.

[Private to Hikari]

I have returned; I should be home in about two hours. I trust everything is in order?

Exactly what right do you have to any ownership over the shrine? Not that I'm objecting yet, but it does seem a little strange that the Guardian of Nova City would have any holds over another city's religious areas- particularly since government shouldn't be influencing religious areas.

[Video]

[weavemyownfate]

None whatsoever, in right or hold. Regardless, I wish to see the position filled.

[vinculo]

Oh! I was thinking of applying, I didn't know there was anyone I had to talk to outside of the shrine...

[ There's a little bow- as best as she can do while holding the video phone. ]

I'm Yui Kusanagi, it's nice to meet you, Kiryuin-san.

[Video]

[weavemyownfate]

I should have clarified; I have nothing to do with the hiring process itself. I have assumed the offering wage is non-negotiable, however I am willing to put in money to gain more interest in it. It is that part I wish to discuss.

For the most part. That said, greetings. Are you a new arrival?

[Action] At Nova HQ

[koishi_komeiji]

Though Koishi didn't reply to the message she was at the HQ when Satsuki arrived. The little satori might have been a bit difficult for Satsuki to detect since she had been away for some time, though that was remedied easily enough.

"MISS WHITE!"

A streak of green, purple, and white shot across the room and collided with Satsuki, clinging entirely too tightly for comfort, nuzzling her stomach. Several tentacles slid out of her sleeves, further winding around the black haired woman's waist. Koishi had, of course, completely recovered from the ordeal and was beyond elated to see her friend home... At least she had remembered to wear her new uniform.

"Miss White! I missed you so much!" Nuzzle nuzzle. "I brought you something-" oh no "-here!" She pulled back a little, untangling her tentacles enough to reach into her pocket and pull out a little bag. "Sis made more taffy and I helped this time! I set a bunch aside for you, okay? Please enjoy!" She pressed the little bag into her hands before resuming the hug...

It was probably good that Koishi was the first to arrive. Else this would be extremely embarrassing...

[Action]

[weavemyownfate]

Satsuki didn't realize being away would have an effect like that; she finds herself standing a little straighter in response to her name being called out, and not even half a second later does Koishi blink into existence.

To tight for comfort? That's an understatement for the Nova Guardian, as the hold brings perhaps the most discomfort she's felt in quite some time; Good god, the tentacles are everywhere- what the hell is she doing??

The brief release gives her a moment to recover. She actually staggers back a step, finds a gift in her hands and then is embraced once more. She's a bit light-headed, but her free hand does push at the satori's shoulder, ".. That's enough, Komeiji." ... "Please."

[Private forever]

[soundmind]

[Given that Maka has a whole lot of "nothing to do except cope with trauma and put herself into automatic mode before going to work" her response is fairly immediate after Satsuki's broadcast. She appears on screen--tired, pale, not even a wisp of a polite smile for the elder, but she's still presenting herself.]

I'm here, Miss Satsuki. Is there something wrong?

[weavemyownfate]

[Satsuki shakes her head.]

There is nothing of concern on my end; for the most part.

[She gets a good look at Maka. It's been a while, but she doesn't seem to look much better; in fact it looks like it's been a very long day. Suddenly she's a bit hesitant to speak, but goes ahead anyway.]

I intend to visit the Attleton Arboretum in about two hours. I'd like for you to join me.

[energybends]

Can I ask why you want to pay a shrine maiden more?

[Video]

[weavemyownfate]

Of course; I was under the impression the position had not been taken yet.

[Beat.]

I may have assumed incorrectly. Still, I had suspected the position had not been gaining interest because the payment was not high enough.

voice;

[lilyofpoison]

There's no shrine maiden?

voice;

[weavemyownfate]

Well.. Technically there is. I suppose the best way to say it is that she is off-duty. The proper terminology alludes me.

[So, another small girl is it?]

You are an unfamiliar face. Are you a new arrival?

private video;

[shslprogrammer]

O-Okay! I'll try my best to get there in thirty minutes.

[Considering he lives in Genessia, it might take a little more time for him to get there, but he is going to try his best at least.]

Re: private video;

[weavemyownfate]

[Augh, Chihiro, why are you so cute! Though this is the muns question and not Satsuki- She keeps forgetting that the programmer is not yet at her team's level of movement; but as long as he's been keeping up his training, the Goku Uniform should allow him to maneuver quickly enough.]

Very well. I will see you then.

[He probably won't make it. However since it was her oversight she'll only make him run five laps instead of twenty.]

[Video]

[switch_over]

Shrine maiden? And just what are the duties of one?

[Video]

[weavemyownfate]

[Uh. Good question.]

I apologize but I do not know the exact answer to that. I have worked with one now and then when dealing with supernatural matters so I suppose that is how they serve the general public.

It is a service more useful than I expected.

[eighthchild]

[She nods happily.]

Everything is in perfect order. Nothing bad to report.

private video;

[weavemyownfate]

Excellent. As usual I will give an evaluation of your work. I'll see you soon.

[She was gone longer than expected, though, so she'll have to give something especially rewarding for Hikari.]

[Private Video]

[kiryuin_shield]

[Gama can be seen slipping his arms back through the sleeves of his uniform top as he addresses the camera.]

I'm on my way. Anything I should know before I arrive?

[Private Video]

[weavemyownfate]

[She shakes her head.]

Not as of this moment. It will be a simple catch-up and briefing of our next move. I shall see you soon.

[Video]

[beautifulmidboss]

[Vyers looks a little stressed himself. Behind him, the stone walls of the maze covering Attleton can be seen.]

Ah...it is good to see you back, Mademoiselle. Not in too bad a shape, I hope?

Attleton is undergoing some...minor issues at the moment, but as far as I'm aware no one's been too badly hurt.

[Video]

[weavemyownfate]

Thank you, Vyers. I am quite well.

[The stone wall doesn't go unnoticed. She raises a brow, then furrows them. His appearance seems to suggest that the situation may be a little more than 'minor'.]

Really. How minor are we talking? I had made an arrangement to meet an associate at Attleton's arboretum today.

[Audio]

[goddessinthefog]

I'm glad someone is taking a little concern over the position. I would like to see it filled, as well, but I'm well aware I would not be best suited for the work.

[It didn't feel right to take the job herself, however she looked at it.]

[Video]

[weavemyownfate]

[Well that's interesting, another interested party? She can't help but wonder if their motives are the same. She can't think of a way to ask without sounding suspicious, however.]

The same could be said of me and my associates, otherwise I would have had one of them take them helm.

That said, I am pleased to hear another interested voice. I trust you were not involved in Kefka's earlier acts madness?

[Not that she expects the other to say 'yes', but still.]

[Video] Locked

[frostheartedrose]

[Bridget is going to give Satsuki a bit of a once-over but not comment. She isn't going to hide the bit of puzzled curiosity in her eyes though.]

Evidently that mountain of muscle is wanting to beat himself up over not protecting you properly and I may have offered to do a bit for him. My methods are a little bit odd but he will probably be miserable soon enough. Since it's regarding you, I'm rather curious... On a scale of one to ten, how much should I make him suffer?

[Video] Locked

[weavemyownfate]

[Well this is a surprise. But she recognizes the look she's given.]

I have worked a bit with the other priestess and hope to get another up to speed for further service.

[Speaking of service, she is very surprised to hear what Bridget offers. That means she's spoken with Gamagoori though, which makes her curious in turn. Alas, that can wait.]

I have found myself at quite a loss for what to do myself- I had never prepared punishment for such an unusual situation, so your offer is highly appreciate.

While I do not doubt your craft, I do not know if I can assume if your idea of levels is the same as my own- Therefore I would request whatever will leave him in suitable condition to travel this Friday.

[Note this conversation is not awkward to her in the slightest.]

Video

[grindpantera]

Looks like someone fucked you up a little.

[weavemyownfate]

Yes. It was primarily a mental battle; sorry to get your hopes up.

[That is Satsuki's attempt at humor. Yes, it's pretty awful but she couldn't help but be amused by his greeting, even if she doesn't look it.]

How have you been staving boredom these past few weeks?

[Voice] late tag is late

[lookprofessor]

[Luke is making the executive decision to not show his face on the video, because he's been worried about Satsuki, about not hearing much from her. Add to that the things that have happened with Koishi and Blake and Weiss--Luke's a worn out mess.]

M...Miss Kiryuin. Are you all right?!

[Video] devouring delicious CR

[weavemyownfate]

Of course. [beat] I haven't the chance to.. Make myself look presentable yet; it looks far worse than it actually was.

[The concern isn't ignored.]

You seem to be on edge.
