genessia | 1st Arte: [Video/Action]

Fayren Area

Jade arrived via the bay a few days ago. He taken up temporary residence at a local inn in Fayren. While his dislocation from his world is disorienting, he researched the library, scrolled through the network on his phone, asked important questions here and there for the answers.

Pretty much the colonel had done his homework as he researched the necessary information to his satisfaction. For now, he dines at a café for lunch, and it is time to introduce himself to the video feed:

"Good afternoon, citizens of Genessia. My, my what a very quaint world this! I am charmed by each and every one of you. The residents here have been very kind to me, as they explained everything to me. So if you like to introduce yourself, there's no need to orient me as I gotten much of everything down on my own. I'm quite a scientist myself, you see! *a laugh here*

Allow me to introduce myself: I am Colonel Jade Curtiss in the Third Division of the Malkuth Military at your service. I served the Emperor in the kingdom of Malkuth, and he happens to be good friend of mine. I wondered if anyone has seen Emperor Peony? If not, that's all right. I supposed he's back home, well protected. A little vacation away from the kingdom wouldn't hurt.

Pardon my semantics, as the definition of magic here differs from my world. I'm a spearman of the spear and a magic-user, though in my world, we call our magic techniques fonic artes. Fon being the basic element particle of my world, my planet of Auldrant.

That being said, I can cast my artes, my spells, with the following elements: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Dark, and Light. That's six elements we have. The 7th being Sound, but that element in my world is unstable and cannot be used by me.

The archways is the most fascinating fon...oh excuse me, that's magi-technology. I wonder what fuels them? Well, better to see that such technology aid the people!

Until then, you have a good day everyone, and if you're a magic-user yourself, why not come by and see me and you show me your techniques and I'll show you mine?"

[Jaune just assumes he wants a job because often when people talk about their skills on the network, they're seeking employment. It's a convenient way to introduce yourself and find a way to earn more red bills.]

Soldier or not, you might rethink that later.

Don't have to thank me, Jade.

"I don't concern myself, actually. My intention is to protect everyone, especially those weaker than me, and they had been here longer than I have.

But yes, of course. It's my fault. I put everyone at danger and risk. My apologies."

Why do you care so much about protecting everyone?

[He doesn't believe him at all, but he wants to know what reasoning he'll come up with.]

You put yourself more at risk than anyone else.

Isn't that the job of the military, protecting citizens?

And anyway, my world is at peace, so I'm not worried. My men back home can do the rest.

It's the job but not why everyone joins.

For all we know you could be some evil Colonel who uses his power to hurt those who don't have any.

[He just joined the Everglade Rangers the other night, you know? xD]

I see. Not that I don't blame anyone. No one is eager to die or risk their life.

Excellent point! Still, now that you know my weakness and strength, this evil sorcerer isn't able to conquer anyone. Not without an army who believes in him.

I mean. Some people like to fight. Being in the military gives them a legitimate reason.

Haha oh I get it you're one of those smug jerks.

Still, I know not everyone with military background means they have good intentions.

You're lucky, I'm just an old, mean softie. Being around young people and watching them dying would do that.

Still. Thank you for the warning. I wasn't aware there is much danger in this world. I heard and pick stories from here and there, that shaken the security of the people. Perhaps, there is something I could do about it, but I'm not sure what.

That could go for any organization.

Whatever you say, Jade.

You can't do anything about it. I can't do anything about it. All we can do is try to avoid it. Try to help if you want, but it's better if you don't make yourself a target.

[This word target came up again. Jade has no fear being the target, as he's not combat phobic, and has taken down men and beasts twice his size and weight. But Jade regarded his message with sensitivity, as he figured out quickly that whoever is the writer, the writer has a fear/trauma of being the target.

Still, violence exist in this world, and this piqued Jade's interests as this requires more investigating and prodding the right people for more information.]

All right, I'll be careful and I wished the same for you.

Good luck.

[He doesn't want to see someone else get hurt. Jade has done nothing to make him distrust him, but he can't trust someone again. He won't. But that doesn't mean he wants to see other people hurt, especially if it's just for trying to do the right thing.

Whatever happens now is up to Jade. He told him as much as he felt comfortable with and he couldn't even say it to his face. Maybe he will end up surprising him and manage to do something about this place but he isn't about to let himself be hopeful over that.]
