Unseelie Lockets

[mercurialize]

Right. Quick question, assuming this is working…


Is anything here organized? Or is everyone intended to figure out this training thing on their own?

We're probably expected to sort out our own training.

voice:

[mercurialize]

So... Unorganized. Good to know.

voice:

[uncertaindestiny]

Or a test to see how we respond, to see if we can think for ourselves.

voice:

[mercurialize]

[Well, that's not helpful.]

What makes you think they're doing that?

voice:

[uncertaindestiny]

I wouldn't want anyone without some initiative fighting in my war.

[To her, it makes quite a bit of sense, actually.]

[mercurialize]

... Right.

Considering their recruitment methods, I have a feeling they can't really be as picky as you're picturing them to be.

[uncertaindestiny]

They could be deciding who can just be fodder for the front lines and who actually matters.

[erythristic]

When the forms for formal request pull through, you'll see some organization, darling.

[Unseelie or not, setting up official training still needed permission.]

[mercurialize]

What do you mean 'formal request'?

[erythristic]

I mean a formal request to oversee space for training. It's hardly fair to waltz in and claim a large area for classes without permission, isn't it?

[mercurialize]

[He barely knows his military standards or how it operates, but this is contradicting the few things he does.]

Isn't that usually what armies do? That's the point of having a general; to make those kinds of decisions.

[He pauses for a thought.]

Let me guess- we have no general.

[erythristic]

Of course we have a general. Don't be foolish. And their mind is occupied with many matters that aren't as mundane as dealing with paperwork and formalities.

Point is, come down to the Ward tomorrow and tell me if you still have any thoughts on our organization. We start early for the beginning classes.

[and that's a very quick wink on her part. she knows exactly how that sounds.]

[mercurialize]

[That doesn't make sense to him, but he's not going to try talking in circles to figure that out.]

... Oh, no.

No, I'm not actually interested in classes for myself. But thanks.

[survivra]

Was that what you were doing at the feast? Trying to train? Or do you just usually make a habit of being as persistently irritating as possible?

[mercurialize]

Oh, it's you.

[What a pleasant surprise!]

Yeah, sorry about that. I was just checking on something.

[survivra]

If you were wondering how it feels to have your face hit the stone floor, you might have asked. Unless you were checking on the function of your brain?

[mercurialize]

[Ha. Ha. Ha. He'd clap for your wit, but you know...]

Arm, actually. Well, what's left of it.

I'd say thanks for the help, but you weren't really trying. Guess I'll just have to check again later.

[What a pain.]

[survivra]

[ She's honestly just at a total loss how to respond to him. Listen, Kylar. what the fuck

Katsa tosses around the possibility of a great number of insults and then settles on something that isn't an insult at all: ]

How did you lose it?

[mercurialize]

[He shrugs.]

Fought a flesh absorbing monster.

It's a long story.

[zerotohiro]

Usually only when there's a decree from the monarchs. [The amusement is pretty clear in his voice.] Even then it's sometimes crazy around here. Sorta depends on what you want to train in. [A beat.] What're you looking to do?

[mercurialize]

I'm actually not interested in training. Just seeing if such a thing actually exists around here or not.

[zerotohiro]

[A weird answer after all of that, but not entirely surprising.]

It exists if you know where to look. [A pause.] If you're not interested in training, then what are you interested in?

[mercurialize]

Trying to figure that out.

So what exactly do you do around here?

[zerotohiro]

[He almost wants to laugh because wow. Buddy. What a loaded question. There's a small huff of amusement though as he pauses.]

You want the short list, or my full resume?

[mercurialize]

Full what?

[What are these resumays you speak of.]

Uh... right. List is fine.
