Out of curiosity, who should I talk to in regards to procuring an enchantment? I suppose Fayren is the most likely choice, but who would I talk to?

[Private Video to the Guardians and Mayors]

I'd like to start this address by congratulating the incoming Guardians for Fayren and Attleton as well as the mayors of the various cities, while introducing myself. My name is Ragyo Kiryuing, owner and CEO of Revocs in Nova City. I made this offer to all the Guardians some time ago, but I feel it is important in renewing the offer now that the election cycle is over.

What I offer are personally tailored outfits using a material found in my world that bestows abilities and power beyond the scope of what would normally be possible. I am in the process of compiling a comprehensive dossier regarding the material should any of you wish to have more information. I will admit, however, to holding back slightly the last time I offered my services.

I do not need to remind you all of the incident where a stolen bit of material and my own research was used to weaponize a young girl that did quite a bit of property damage to Nova and Genessia cities. Luckily my daughter, Satsuki, was able to defuse the situation while keeping casualties to a minimum. I keep this research and the material under strict lock and key because of the implications they have when placed in the hands of someone who hasn't spent their entire lives dedicated to understanding it. However, the recent invasion by these... specters or whatever they are has forced my hand, as it were.

While the material is most potent when used in clothing, it can be used in other forms, such as defense mechanisms to keep such creatures out of the cities should they return.

I am open to questions, and I will likely add the dossier in this post once I finish compiling and arranging the data to be easily understood.

[ He takes note of the seductive undertone, a faint amused, appreciative arch of his brow his response. She's a beautiful woman, it would probably work on most men. ]

The question this brings up for me is, what would you expect me to do to prove my worthiness? [ He lets a heartbeat pass. ] And what would you do, to prove I can trust you?

[She shrugs, shifting slightly to prop her chin on an arm.]

The question of worth isn't an issue for me. Simply holding the office proves to me that there's something about you that makes you worth trusting with this information.

As for how to trust me, well, that's a trickier subject. Compared to some of the residents of this place I'm fairly new, and have spent most of my time building my business. However, if you have an idea as to what I could do to prove my trustworthiness, I am very much open to suggestions.

That's a lot of trust extended to someone merely for holding an office he hasn't proven himself worthy of yet, but I appreciate that you're willing to give it.

I'm rather new, too. I've only been here for half a year. I believe getting to know you a little better would go a long way towards helping me decide if I can trust you. That, and studying the materials, of course.

Considering the state of this place, I can't exactly afford to be picky with my allies.

Very well, you're welcome to ask me anything you want regarding myself and the materials. I can even set up some space for you to do your own research at my manor should you desire.

[...Of course that workspace would be hooked up through a network that fed him only the info she wanted him to see, of course though.]

If you'd like to give me the opportunity to do research, I'd actually rather start by visiting your factories and labs, but I appreciate the offer of a laboratory of my own.

[ That will first require finding someone who knows more about these things than him, though, he's no scientist. Something there's no need to point out. ]

I'm sorry you find the state of allies lacking.

That can be arranged.

[And far easier to set up in a way that makes her look good.]

It's not so much that I find the state of allies lacking as it is frustrating that there is so much distrust, when we should all be working toward the same goal.

[Human individuality is kind of a sticking point for her...]

Well, I would argue that alliances and distrust aren't mutually exclusive. That would be a very limited way of thinking.

[ For the most part, he doesn't trust his allies. At least not completely. ]

True trust, as it is, is something that needs to be earned, and loyalty must be proven under duress. I hope such a situation won't come up too soon.

Fair enough, but simply sharing this situation would at least garner some trust, but c'est la vie.

Contact me when you are free and I would be glad to show you around my facilities.
