genessia | 1st Order [Action / Video]

[Action]

[If one passes by the bay area you might catch the entrance of a quiet disgruntled blond dressed largely in white, the only black immediately visible being the shoes and vest beneath the white suit jacket. He's currently standing in front of the Genessia Commonspace, idly seeming to turn a key over in his fingers while eyeballing the building as if he somehow finds it offensive.

This isn't the first time he's been kidnapped, but at least this go around it would appear that he's more of a guest than confined prisoner. Not that this really makes things all that much better. A gilded cage was still a cage. What they seemed to have here was an illusion of freedom.

Perhaps, he'd change his mind in time, but this place would have to work to show him he was wrong.]

[There's only so long a time one can glower at a building, and thus once he'd sorted his thoughts out, he turned his attention to the phone he'd been given to examine it more thoroughly before finally ended up broadcasting a short message.]

Is there anyone else here from a world known as Gaia? I would like to speak with you if so.

[He would learn if he was alone here or not in a manner of speaking and then plan from there. Though while he waited for answers, he would head for Nettle and 27th street. He wanted to check out this Foundation that had been mentioned within the welcome message.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Physically, yes, he was fine. Otherwise, he was the furthest from okay that one could be right now. At least when he'd been kidnapped prior, he'd still be on the same planet. The prospect of rescue was something not completely out of his hands and he still had his reputation, money and the shreds of power to fall back on.

Here he was more or less a stranded stranger in a strange land with nothing save what he wore and what his captors had decided to grant him upon awakening. The fact that they expected him to live in the building before him until he could make other arrangements was galling.

Though it was a step up from the cave his last captor had shoved him into.

He let his annoyance melt away into polite civility as he turned his attention properly to the young lady beside him.]

I'm fine. Tell me, how much does a decent hotel cost in this place?

[Airy quickly attempts to do some math in her head but promptly gives up.]

With what you wake up with? It can last about a month if you're frugal though most can only make it last for one. Do you not like this place?

[Her head cants to the side.]

If you get a job you can buy an apartment.

[It seems obvious but Airy has met a lot of people who don't know that and she'd rather just cover her basis now.]

[He glances briefly at the place once more before answering.]

It isn't to my tastes, no. I'm used to more privacy than this looks capable of granting.

[He'll have to think more on the pros and cons of using the freely given room later. For now, he turns his mind the new subject that had just been raised.]

How does one go about gaining such employment here?

[Does he like the idea of working under someone again? No. However it wasn't as if he really had much of a choice in that particular matter if he was to gain more funding to support himself here.]

The welcome center has listings. It depends what you know how to do or what you want to do. I sort of fell into my job.

[It'd been an accident and now she is in charge of a lot of stuff and she still doesn't know how it happened but she likes her job. It keeps her busy while giving her the freedom to do what she likes, helping others and organizing things.]

What do you like? I can probably help you find something or if you'd rather look alone.

I'll have to check it out.

[It'd be a place to start looking at least. Perhaps give him an idea of what his prospects might be. Unfortunately, what he might like held no real bearing over the type of work he'd no doubt end up having to do.

He liked working with guard hounds, practicing with the Turks, be it physical sparing or working with guns. He liked solving problems with minimal fuss, turning an enemy into an ally, even if for a short period of time. Those last were harder these days, but perhaps it made them more worthwhile.

He considered how to answer the question and decided to give her a simplistic version of the task he'd been involved in prior to his arrival.]

I was looking into how to utilize cleaner and healthier sources of energy back home, I doubt there's much call for that here.

You might be surprised. I know at least one business that's going to expand in that direction.

[It's Tony's and she only knows that because she's been working on the paper work though it isn't ready to be fully up and running.] Are you a scientist or engineer then?

[Now that was definitely interesting. He was curious just how they were headed in that direction and what was currently being used for power at the moment.]

Neither technically, but I've been around both since my youth. Personally, I prefer the engineer's over the scientists.

[The engineer's were less prone to play god in his opinion. Their budget was often more easier to deal with as well.]

I am rather good with computers if that counts for anything here.

It can, depends what you mean by 'good with computers'

[Airy glances to the south as if seeing something through the buildings. When she pulls her eyes back to Rufus she continues.]

You should see Nova City first. Everything there is usually a step up from what people are used too. At least from what I've seen. You might have to relearn a lot of computer based things. [Airy did, it isn't like they are using Window's 10 or anything she was familiar with.]

Once you get a hang of the interface it isn't so hard though.

I'm a capable hacker, or I was back home.

[He listens quietly to that, and yes, he can understand how that could be an issue. Still, he was a quick study. Given the chance and a crash course in how things worked. It shouldn't take him too long to get back up to par on his ability to sweet talk computers into dancing to his tune.]

I'll have to see if I can find someone willing to give me a crash course in how they work here.

[Airy rises an eyebrow.]

Did you hack into things a lot?

[She works with so many hackers that it's tiresome. She hates it when they decide to mess around with things.]

I know some people who know... but I don't know how much they enjoy teaching.

No. Just when necessary. You could say I did it to help some people I worked with. Kept some of their colleagues from being killed.

[Which is one way to put those events, even if it is an overly simplistic way to put it.]

Couldn't hurt to ask, could it?

That doesn't sound like a good place to work...

[A job that involves bodily harm sort of unnerved Airy. After everything that's happened she finds a lot of what this man says unsettling. She doesn't want too, she thinks it's better to trust people, it might just be Tony's paranoia rubbing off on her which she also doesn't like.]

I mean it can hurt... emotionally. Terrance plays tricks in the office when he's bored and Tony is... Tony. I promise I like the people I work with.
