[Semi-Open, Major Event] Handshakes, handshakes all around

WHO: Liandrin Delacroix (+ the occasional Malice King) and Batch 001 for the Mandatory Interviews; others can drop in as they like
WHAT: The Kaiser of Netsach spends the day conducting mandatory interviews for Falner's latest batch of residents
WHERE: The Kaiser's Office
WHEN: Sunday, 13 June 2066 (or for some cases, depending on the time you show up, the whee hours of the morning of Monday, 14 June 2066)
SAFE FOR WORK? Yep.
OTHER NOTES:
+ Anyone who wasn't pinged for the mandatory interviews in Dove's post can drop in on the pretense that they're speaking to Lia in between interviews.
+ Please include the time that you drop by in the subject line of your comment.
+ Each interviewee will actually be observed by another NPC in the office. The NPC will be different per character, but they will always be another Malice King. Pammu will integrate their reactions into Lia's responses - unless, of course, the NPC in question is played by one of the other mods.
+ Anyone who actually comes in after midnight will still respond to this post, just to make sure that all of the interviews are in one place.


[ There is always a line outside of the office no matter what time it is; there are a lot of newcomers to Falner this month, and every new person who's been allowed to stay on the estate since January is required to speak to the Kaiser today.

Once you get inside, regardless of when you come in for your interview, you're going to find Liandrin in gradients of this position: at her desk, barreling through more paperwork for Netsach, the Pleiades or any of the other organizations that she belongs to. Sometimes she has something to nibble on. She also always has tea or - for the evening interviews - wine.

Aidan Clayce's desk and Riley Falner's desks are unoccupied. Beyond the observer that she has invited for your interview, this exchange is meant to be confidential. ]

[He's returning that gaze as he's taking those words to heart. And after taking another moment to reflect on them, he gives another nod.]

I understand, Kaiser. And I will...

[Because at the end of the day, despite everything that had happened, he still cared for his father. They were family, and you never turn your back on your family.

And hopefully, he could still patch things up between them before it's too late.]

[He was listening to that with rapt attention. When he hears you mention 'Special Cases', his mind's briefly flashing back to a few things: his talk with Rin not too long ago, getting acquainted with Segan a couple of days back.

He's also recalling things he'd heard on some of the other Special Cases. There was still some gossip down at the hospital concerning a Bladian that had been picked up from the States. And a little before that, Lazare had mentioned to him and their blademates something he heard from a vampire acquaintance of his about a certain Invictus Prince... or was it former Prince, now? He'd have to ask the Alchemist about it sometime.

... Before long, his thoughts were going to one particular Special Case that had gotten his attention earlier this year. The one who was impossible to not notice with how she always followed her guardian around...]


I'll make sure it's a routine thing on my end.

Yes, ma'am.

[He'll definitely work towards that. And he knew the others will be just as determined.]

No, ma'am.

[There wasn't anything else that needed to be addressed. And there were other people who you're expecting to come by. So, he'll shelve discussing his plans of joining the Pleiades and gaining licenses with some of the other conspiracies for another time.

Still, as he's slowly standing up:]


But if it's alright, may I ask one question before I leave?

[Have a third discrete glance at that vacant chair from him at that.]

[He's quiet for a moment because he tries to figure out how to word this without sounding too rude to you, Kaiser. When he finally does ask:]

Was someone else supposed to be here for this interview?

[Because that chair wouldn't have been set there unless you had been expecting someone.]

Intelligence 3 + Politics 1 + 2 = 3, 8, 9, 0 (3), 8, 2 = 4 Successes

[Sure enough, it only takes him a moment to connect the dots and narrow down the list. And when he finally works out who had been observing him:]

... Oh.

[He's giving the rest of the office a quick glance while wondering whether or not he should feel at ease knowing who his observer is. But he was doing a rather good job of not looking too self-conscious when he glances at you, again.]

Well, that's all I wanted to ask. [Giving one last nod.] Have a good afternoon, ma'am. And I hope Inquisitor Vice does, too.

[On the floor, Temo was rearing up as he unfurled his wings, face lighting up with a wide smile as he bowed to the Kaiser, before flying after his person as he was leaving the room.]
