[Closed] La Comida en Falner
WHO: Gray Magallanes Valverde & Rin Faolain
WHAT: Lunchtime Shenanigans
WHERE: The Great Hall
WHEN: 13 June 2066, Sometime between 12 Noon and 12:30 PM
SAFE FOR WORK? Yep
OTHER NOTES: This is what happens when two mages with very hyperactive dragons meet XD
[It was a little lively, now, at the Great Hall as people began filing in for lunch. A good number were famiiar faces - Netsach hunters and other Keepers of the Vigil stationed at Falner, and students at Balamb Academy who were gearing up for another year. A large majority, though, were newcomers to the estate, and they were around to grab a quick meal before heading over for their interviews with the Kaiser.
Gray was here for pretty much the same reason, though in his case (and those of the other hunters who were initiated months ago) his interview was meant to check how he was settling in with his division.
It's early though, so he's not in any rush as he sat by himself at one table, enjoying his meal while his dragon was curled up nearby for his siesta.]

[ Guess who just clamped Madge's mouth shut! Yep. Stop that, you embarrassing dragon you. ]
Yeah, I guess. [ Is he continuing as if Madge never started talking? Yyyyyep. ] It's just like. A huge fucking honor to meet the guy and his family. They've helped me a lot, getting here, y'know? Really awesome people.
And yeah, man, I've met the Kaiser. Talked to her this morning, even. She's just... Whoa. She's amazing. I kind of wish she'd be my mentor, but she's kinda real busy, running Netsach and shit.
I think I'm kinda in love with her. [ ...Can her telepathy reach this far though. ]
no subject
You might want to be a bit careful with what you say, Rin. She is a Mastigos Archmage, and she can probably hear what's on everyone else's mind if she wanted to.
[Especially since she could teleport every civilian in Falner to safety in one go if something bad were to happen. But he's quickly stamping down that thought. Amadeus' attack was something he tried not to think about even after three years.]
no subject
Well. At least she knows I like her. [ :| ]
What's not to like, seriously? She kind of single-handedly runs a conspiracy all by herself. Rest of the Malice Kings notwithstanding. [ That and she has the most gorgeou-wjifawjlksijlg right, she can read minds this far, gotta remember that to stop embarrassing himself further. But maybe she likes her ego being stroked?? ]
no subject
[Nope. That grin of his is only going to widen a bit. Maybe, he should stop?]
{So, I guess this means you're going to gun for Netsach as your first conspiracy after you graduate?}
[Thank you, Temo.]
no subject
Erin wants to join ALL! the conspiracies!
[ He ain't even gonna deny that. ]
Why not, right? I'm a mage, mages have a pretty long life span, so I got all the time in the world to join every compact and conspiracy ever. [ shrug ]
no subject
{Really? Every compact and conspiracy? You sure about that? Don't get me wrong. I'm sure you'll be Hunter material after a year. Still not sure if you'll make the cut for Zangyaku. And mages like you and Gray will live a looong time. [Emphasizing that with a brief stretch of his wings.] But you do know that the other groups have their own requirements and restrictions, right? Right?}
[Give him a bit. He's going to say his piece soon.]
no subject
Well, not all of it, but being here's kind of the fucking point. [ Rin shrugs. ] It's ambitious, sure, but it's not just that.
I've got literally hundreds of fucking years ahead of me, and that's a whole lot of knowledge waiting to be discovered and learned about. Each compact and conspiracy is gonna help me get the skills I need to discover and learn.
And my Erin is definitely going to do it! [ Madge looks so proud of him, too. ]
no subject
Si [Facing you, again, now:] But yeah, Netsach is probably a good place for you to start out.
[He glances briefly at his tablet as he browsed through it.]
Which brings us back to your other questions. You wanted to know what I do as a Netsach op, right? Along with what a typical day on the job is like for a hunter?
no subject
[ Here, Madge nuzzles her cheek on Rin's, affectionate and proud.
Rin gives Temo a smug grin before turning to Gray again. ]
Yeah! Like I said, I'd like to know. [ Biiiig grin. ]
no subject
[Glancing briefly at his tablet as he let the primer for Netsach load.]
Well, for starters, being a hunter isn't that different from a regular job. Barring patrol and getting sent off on missions, operatives are usually doing work based on which divisions they're part of. Otherwise, they're off-duty, living their lives as normally as possible.
[Temo, meanwhile, is trotting over to a plate filled with a small assortment of fruits, dividing his attention between the conversation and debating whether to have a banana or grapes.]
Of course, the day-to-day routine of a given Keeper of the Vigil depends on his rank, and which compact or conspiracy he's a part of. Take Netsach, for example. It's Pax Deorum's standing army, and every member is expected to know how to defend himself in a fight, regardless of whether or not you're a part of Behemoth - the conspiracy's primary military force. That means setting aside hours each day doing training or research to keep your skills sharp.

[ He might have some sort of ADHD, but he likes information. He will keep asking questions. And will read up some more, later. ]
Intelligence 3 + Occult 2 = {8, 0 (6), 5, 1, 2) = 2 Successes
Si. The Ziz is a bird. A giant griffin, actually, in Jewish mythology. But no, that doesn't mean we fly planes.
[His dragon, in the meantime, is sliding the fruit platter a little closer to Madge, beaming at her as he asks:]
{Want some?}
[Easily ignoring that as he continues:]
We're actually Netsach's doctors and field medics. You've been to the hospital down at the West District, right? Ziz has its own building there.
no subject
Madge, on the other hand, is enjoying a plate of fruit with Temeraire.
But hey! Doctors are cool. ]
I think I've passed by that hospital a few times. That the one with the statue of a girl in front?
