genessia | Video; Action

[Video]

[David starts the video feed up, and he’s very clearly outside. He looks like he’s at the park.]

I know we have a bunch of new comers to this place, so I’ll introduce myself. I’m David Haller, Guardian of Genessia City. I’ll have been here for..two years come this September. Feels like much longer than that, really.

I have the business Holodeck’d in both Genessia City and Nova City. It’s basically a training simulator and it gives you one of the closest experiences to combat other than the real thing. The door to my office is always open [He looks around briefly.] if I’m in it.

If there is anything I can help with, let me know.

[Action; Genessia City Park]

[Well it seems like all of the cities are in the grip of a heat wave. Two weeks of this, it’d be hell. Could be far worse, though. David was doing his best to help people get a reprieve from the heat. In the park, he’s gathered many of the ice cream, shaved iced, and whatever other frozen treat vendors. He has them all giving out free stuff to everyone.

Well, not really free. David was footing the bill for their services. Didn’t seem like such a bad trade to make people happy. He has small cup of ice cream in his hand himself. Even with the heat, it felt pretty heat to be out. He honestly didn’t feel like he got out as much as he used to. ]

It's nice to see you out.

[Levy came for both ice cream and support. She's been working very hard and more or less over being sick. She flashes David a small smile, pushing the cold desert around in her cup. Parts of it are melting but she's eating it fast enough that it's staying cold.]

What flavour?

[She points to the ice cream in his hand.]

Considering the length of the term a Guardian is expected to serve, that's quite a long time to have been in office. The people must have a lot of faith in you, Guardian Haller.

[Karla was used to being out in all kinds of weather, but this extreme heat isn't something she's really fond of. She'll casually walk down the road when she happens to pass by all the ice cream vendors. She smiles slightly, though her face is a little worn from the heat.]

Hello, David...I didn't know you were having a gathering here.

Orange Sherbet. [He just picked at random from the options they had on display.]

What about yours? [Her flavor should be the "I should still be on bed rest" flavor.]

One can only hope. I like to think I have done a good job during my time in office. [He certainly hadn't done anything that the masses disliked.]

It was a spur the moment sort of thing. [If he had planned it in advance, he would have at least made up flyers or something.]

I think it was all only decided maybe an hour or two ago?

I see...

[She can't help the weary sigh that cones out.]

How are you holding up in this heat?

I think it's vanilla.

[She wasn't actually paying attention when she got it. It was sweet and cold and perfect.

Levy looks up at David, her hazel eyes shining curiously.] You're worried aren't you. [She frowns.] I'm fine. [No more rest needed.

Levy isn't good at staying in bed.]

We arrived close to the same time.
I arrived at the end of August.

If you start to look faintish, I'm going to take you to bed myself. [He's never not going to worry about you, Levy. You have a habit of being stubborn and doing things that you shouldn't.]

The ice cream helps. Could be a whole lot worse, though. [The breeze that passes over from time to time helps keep people cool as well.]

How do you feel about being here for so long?

But you should stay here.

[It's his event after all and she really doesn't like it when he worries. Levy takes a bite from her ice cream and shivers as the cold creeps through her.]

Is everything okay at the Guardian office? [She's been keeping herself too busy to keep up with everything and while she sees David a lot she doesn't always talk about anything that's relevant.]

[Blaze happened to be taking a short break in the park today with an opening of spare time, sitting in the shade with a black labrador he'd recently adopted. After pouring the contents of a water bottle into a small dish for his dog, he looked up and noticed David. Blaze had yet to meet the other Guardians in person, and this seemed to be as good a time as any as he got up and approached him.]

Guardian Haller. It's nice to finally meet you in person.

Do you enjoy it?

I don't think I'm really needed here. They have the handle on giving out ice cream. [He said before eating some of his. Then he took his spoon and scooped out some of hers to. Don't leave your ice cream unguarded.]

Everything is fine there. It feels a bit stuffy sometimes, but other than that, there is nothing wrong.

I do. I think I wouldn't have run for another term if I didn't. If you aren't passionate about this sort of job, you can't expect to be good at it.

Blaze. [He offers him his hand.] It's a pleasure to meet you as well. And a belated congratulations on the win.

[Levy's mouth opens as he eats the small spoonful of her desert. She can't really complain since it was free but she can pretend to be horribly offended by the action.]

Stuffy? [That makes sense.]

You're going to repay me for that stolen ice cream aren't you?

[She isn't pouting.]

Should I? You were practically begging me to take your ice cream. I just gave you what you wanted.

I wasn't.

[Now she's pouting.]

You owe me for stealing some of my ice cream.

[She's not budging on this.]

[He scoops up some of his and offers it to her mouth.]

Fine. Say ahhhh.

[Levy feels heat rise to her cheeks as he presents the spoon towards her lips. She opens her mouth but the sound that comes out is very soft and very nervous.]

...ahhh...

So you arrived here a few months after I did. It felt like you'd been here much longer.

[And he was reminded he really had been here for over two years and what a two years it has been.]

Yes, that's very true. You need to be passionate about the people, the laws your upholding, causes your supporting, and so on. However, some politicians run for additional terms, not because they enjoy the position, but because they either feel obligated to continue or they fear those who would take office in their absence. I am glad to hear that isn't the case.
