[ literally so sorry to anyone who decides to check this out-- ]

HARK!!!!!!

There are new lands to discover! Such as yonder... "bowling alley"! I have seen shadows behind the contraptions at the end, but chasing them leads to nothing -- it is most perplexing. Nonetheless!!! I wished to share to all the goodly news, and to ask a simple question to all of thee!!!!

[ a beat. a blessed pause. then, very simply asked: ]

Do thee believe in justice?!

Comments

[bemist]

You could say my time has come and gone. [ Well, it's not wrong. ]

But I wouldn't have ever considered myself to be a beacon to anyone. I just did what I wanted, in the end. Not to set an example, just because it's what I felt like doing.

[ Being hailed as a hero is forever going to be strange for her. So thankfully! No one has to know who she was ten years ago! It's fine!! ]

Like I said, just don't overdo it. As long as you're not an idiot about it, you'll probably be fine.

[icanfixer]

[ sorry unnie she's going to overdo it and be an idiot

... ... ...

goooooossssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! ]

Miss Gebura! If I may say so, but thy words sounded very cool just then! I am certain there are very many who admire thee for thine attitude, and thee may count me among them! I should like to follow thine example, for it is very much my style indeed!

[ doing what she wants, on the focus of justice -- it didn't matter if there were rules or laws she might be breaking in the process, so long as it fit her worldview and aligned with her principles then it was fine and dandy. ]

A-hem! Um, what is a surefire way to rising the ranks? A companion in much the same position as I joined our Company as a way to gain experience, so that she may be graded higher. I should like to offer her advice when I see her next.

[bemist]

[ DON!!!!!!!

Maybe this is why Gebura never had siblings. ]

... I don't really recommend learning from me, but if that's how you feel, do what you want. [ She already recognizes she can't drive this excitable young lady away like she could certain other people who thought she was some kind of great person. Which was their own mistake, really. Gebura has never seen herself as anyone that special, regardless of her legacy. ]

But as humble as it seems, just observe. Never turn down a job, no matter how low-level it seems. You want consistency. Decide for yourself that you'll learn from every experience--rather, decide that every experience has something to learn about it, and learn it. Pay attention to everything and everyone and you'll find yourself more prepared each and every time.

[icanfixer]

[ please don might actually be reasonable if gebura was her older sister ]

... Humble as it is, observe... Never turn down a job-- we cannot really do so at the moment anyway, for each holds its own value to our employer. [ scritch scritch... note-taking.

... ]

If thee were an animal, what would it be?

[bemist]

... I couldn't tell you. I've never thought about myself as anything other than me.

[ WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT, DON?? ]

[icanfixer]

[ ? AN IMPORTANT ONE? ]

Then think quick! The first which comes to mind shall be the one which resonates with thy soul!

[bemist]

...

[ uhh ]

A cat, I guess.

[icanfixer]

Miau...~

[ cool... suitable. she's going to draw the fluffiest cat with the most grumpy expression in her notes. ]

I do not know what Grade thee may have been prior to thy circumstances, but do thee think it true that those of a higher caliber are treated to free meals and the like? I should like to be!!!

[bemist]

It's not as common as you'd think, though I guess that depends on the Fixer. The higher Grades tend to not want a whole lot of attention and just prefer to go about their business, so showing up just to get a free meal or perks would have been annoying.

Then again, there's some who would absolutely milk the attention, from what I've seen and heard. Not really my thing in particular. The real benefit is getting to choose what you do and what jobs you take on. You don't have to answer to anyone.

[icanfixer]

[ sir siegfried probably gets free meals... no, she definitely recalls him sponsoring such in a magazine clipping before, it had looked so delicious and the restaurant had wanted to merely repay him for what he'd done as an ally of justice-- ]

Hmhm, thee do seem to be the type who would wish for a quiet meal on thine own, away from the bustle if thou could help it... I rather like to be among others, though I think perhaps I have simply gotten used to it.

[ maybe. just a little. lot quieter now, with just her and sinclair taking meals most days -- but at least there is one other person. she isn't alone.

skritch skritch. ]

Take all that thee can at first, and then thy may have the pick of the litter. [ ... ] Ishmael shall be most delighted to hear that! From the land to sea to land again, I am certain the levels of freedom one may have is far different!

[ being a sailor might be cool. you learn a lot of curse words, apparently. don learned a lot of things in the casino too. but apparently, it also isn't all roses and sunshine on the sea either, which is fine. she likes challenges. ]
