[Video]

[The video opens to the familiar sight of the Bay, the device being held by a large bald man in a finely crafted suit. He gazes down at the device, light blue eyes almost seeming to glow in the gloom of the bay, face perfectly neutral.

He continues to stare down at the device in silence, the only sound being the waters of the bay echoing off the stone walls. Finally, just when it seems the recording will only consist of a creepy bald guy staring at the phone, he speaks, his voice deep and calm.]

"Testing."

[Action (Near the Bay and around Genessia)]

He leaves the Bay, comes upon Weiss' hologram, and listens patiently, still showing no signs of emotion. When it's done speaking, he grabs some of the pamphlets and brochures offered and leaves to explore the city. In one gloved hand he carries a black metal briefcase, bearing an interesting symbol in silver.

He'll be exploring the city until well after nightfall, then get a late dinner at wherever's still open and head back to Genessia Commonspace.

((OOC: Cheatcode hint: 47 likes kids and animals, in case you'd like a higher chance of a positive interaction.))

[A little lady is out and about running errands for her guardian. While it is a bit of a walk, it's important for her to get the exercise and fresh air.

She looked like a princess with her fancy-casual outfit and a circlet upon her head. Her long, blonde hair swayed with each step she made, carrying a bag of groceries in both hands as she made the long walk home to Nova City, but stopped when she saw this dashing suited gentleman. Though he looks like one of the drivers for the guardians and deputies, she won't talk to strangers and would instead just observe.]

[He feels her eyes on him quickly, and looks around to find the source. When he spots her, he nods in greeting, making the friendliest expression he can manage (it's... not quite a smile, but he doesn't look nearly as... icy) and raises his free hand for a small wave before extending it slightly, palm up, in a welcoming gesture -- she's free to approach if she wishes. Hey there, kiddo.]

[She looked to the left, then her right. She wasn't sure if he was waving at her, or someone else. It seems apparent it was her, and he does seem friendly enough, so she did cautiously approach. She won't get too close.]

Hello... Do you work in Nova?

[He shakes his head at her question, slouching a little so that there won't be quite so much height difference between them -- but it's subtle; no one could accuse him of doing it on purpose.]

No, I've just arrived.

[He looks away from her briefly to scan the surroundings again. No adult, no guardian, no one to watch over her?]

You're alone?

[She glanced towards the Bay. She, at least, assumes that's what he meant.]

I see... So you were pulled from another world as well.

[She'll leave that there for him to confirm or deny. She tilts her head slightly to the side for a second when he asked this question.]

Well, I'm not alone alone, but I am alone on an errand.

[He follows her glance toward the Bay, and nods. That's exactly what he means.]

You want any help with that?

[He indicates the groceries in her hands. He's already decided to see her home safe, so he'll either help her home openly... or try to tail her discreetly.]

[Everything her mother taught her says she should politely decline and be on her way. But she is well aware there are honourable men out there. If anything does go wrong, she knows how to handle it.

She holds out the bag of groceries for him.]

I suppose so. I can answer any questions you may have along the way.

[He takes the bag with his free hand, then indicates for her to lead the way; she knows where they're going, after all. He tries to think of something to ask her, but he's never been very interested in conversation... or asking for help.]

[Idle chat chit is extremely tempting while she leads the way towards Nova City. But she certainly hopes he'll ask her questions because this silence is awkward.

Perhaps introductions are in order to break the ice. But should she use the name she goes by? Or play it safe and use a nickname or middle name?]

U-umm, my friends call me Anya. Who might you be, sir?

David Ford.

[The alias gets easier each time he says it. He stops speaking there for a moment, thinking. Well... what would a normal person ask?]

Who are you staying with?

[She did mention that she wasn't alone alone, so she must have someone living with her. Hopefully a responsible adult.]

It is nice to meet you, Mister Ford.

[Such a polite young lady.]

I live with a woman named Satsuki. She's a deputy guardian of Nova City.

[In other words, a very responsible adult.]

The guardians... they're in charge of law enforcement, aren't they?

[That's what the hologram said, at least.]

In a way, yes. Their first and foremost task is to live up to their job name. In Nova, Weiss Schnee was guardian, but she recently stepped down. Two of the deputies have taken over until the next election.

The young woman from the hologram.

[She did mention being a guardian, didn't she? He wonders how old the hologram is, considering that her position as guardian is out of date now.]
