[It's been a few days since Van arrived, under less than ideal circumstances. During that time, he felt it was probably wisest to remain incommunicado. The easiest way to assure the others from Auldrant that he was doing nothing threatening was to appear to be doing nothing threatening; and he wasn't... strictly speaking. For the most part, all he'd done was study Ms. Sage's guide -- no, memorized it. He'll have to thank her, if they ever meet. She provided him with so much valuable information; including a list of exploitable thugs.

Someone should really do something about that.

But as enlightening as Ms. Sage's writings are, man cannot live on words alone. The supplies he gathered after leaving Asch and Luke's building (...and later returning to it) were starting to run out. He wasn't particularly thrilled with the clothes he'd grabbed, either. He'd rather not wear his Oracle uniform all the time, and the rest were a bit... lacking. He'd like to think he was a striking, well-dressed man; and appearances were so important to a favorable first impression. He'd get to that later in the day. And then the library, perhaps. It was always an advantage to have more information. His first stop, though, was something he could no longer put off: the medical facilities in the battle dome. He'd have to hope he could find what he needed there.

Despite his long list of errands (and the vague concern that he'll run into people he knows and would rather not deal with yet), he'll be perfectly willing to exchange a few words with anyone else out and about. In fact, he'll make sure to at least make eye contact and give a polite nod to every person he sees. The charisma is turned up to 11 today.]


Dist: Something to discuss with you. CH#7. Tonight.

(TL;DR: Meet him in the library, the clothing shops, the battle dome, on the street... And fill this out if you would, plz)

Because I'm horrible, and Giles is kind of a pseudo-uncle to Luke.

[Despite swearing he place off cold turkey after the recent malfunction, the Battle Dome is a large enough fixture in Luceti that Giles...well, it's not something he can easily ignore. And the list of changes that Molly provided certainly got his attention, much as he wishes they didn't.

And so it's as he's wandering by that Giles sees Van just exiting the Battle Dome. He frowns curiously, despite himself. Here was someone he didn't recognize, and that had been happening a lot, what with getting kidnapped right at the start of the cycle.

Oweing to his civic responsibility towards all New Feathers, Giles offers a hesitant greeting.]


...everything all right?

Yep, me too XD

I imagine a good number of people would agree with you. Personally, though, I've always liked an atmosphere of competition. Keeps me challenged.

Oh? Well, the clinic is in here- [Walking over to the clinic portion of the battledome and opening the door.] I do not know where they keep the medications, but I can help you look?

If it isn't here, you can try to request it from the Malnosso or hope it shows up in the stores. But I'm sure if you require for living it it will show up one way or another.

We're close enough to not cause problems for anyone else. Usually. [There have certainly been dissenters, and the brief flash of displeasure says as much]

Shush, you are wonderful.

Unless you were in the clinic, I wouldn't know what to ask about apart from the obvious.

[Now that he hasn't been entirely snubbed, Giles lets himself actually stand within speaking distance of Van.]

[Medication...? Well since he said he didn't need immediate attention, he's not going to pry...although a clinic might be better supplied than here.]

Were you injured in some way when you first arrived?

Depends on who started shit in the first place. [The chef's being free with information, and so elaborates]

If it's the Malnosso, sneering at the common enemy is habit. [He shifts his footing, rolls a cigarette between his fingers in thought] If it's someone inside Luceti... sometimes it boils down to how many friends a person has, or how morally corrupt the act was.

[And then he shrugs] There's no formal government here, meaning anyone who poses a problem'll be poking the beehive. And a number of us don't stop stinging until the problem's solved.

[He smiles sheepishly in embarrassment at forgetting his manners. Oops.] My apologies for forgetting to introduce myself. I am Freyjadour Falenas. [He holds out a leather gloved hand to shake.]

[The message makes Dist's blood run cold, then boil red hot. Those idiots! If they hadn't given him away right from the beginning, he wouldn't have had to deal with the Commandant for at least some time. He could have planned something! Rrgh...now he wanted to speak in private. Perfect. Just...perfect.

Dist contemplates just ignoring the message and blowing Van off, but then again...he really should just get this over with. He no longer had any obligation to let Van order him around, after all. There was nothing to gain from cooperating with the Commandant here. Might as well see what he wants though, before he decides to refuse or not.

So the night finds Dist meandering up to the building. He doesn't know if he's late or early - no set time was specified - so he just leans against the wall of Building 7 and waits, discomfort and irritation visible in his posture and expression. He does not want to be here tonight. This just topped the cake of a glorious month.]

[A general. Nope, not too surprising. Yeager's taken orders from those types before--both in the military and the business meanings of the word. Van seems the rank.]

Ah, ja. In the military obedience is much better. Can't have orders being disputed too often on the battlefield. Or too many enemies willing to test your troops.

You'd think so, but surprising how nearly everyone abides by it. [It's what happens when you have a bunch of hero types in one place]

... [A humored snort] If by "attempt" you mean talks, then sure. And we've got some groups charged with keeping an eye on the village during strenuous times.

[Flatly] They're pretty damn useless.

That's odd...

[Azusa had been looking for the clothing store. Naturally, for her, that means she's somehow found her way to the battle dome. Pouring through her journal, she looks up as Van enters. Polite eye contact is made, which means it's now the perfect opportunity for Azusa to ask him a question.]

Excuse me, are you busy?

...There are some medicine over here. [He moves towards the back of the lobby area of the clinic, showing him the cabinets filled with a variety of different medications, painkillers and the like.]

[Delighted.

Dist tenses when he catches sight on Van, and he purses his lips for a moment before just looking at him with disdain. There's going to be no politeness out of him today. Just business today, that's it. He doesn't need to act something he's not. Especially toward Van.]


What did you wish to speak to me about?
