This place... Anatole? This city. It's not the only one; so I'm looking for a map. And before you go on trying to give me secondhand information: map first, opinions second.

[She looks vaguely contemplative, leaning her cheek on one hand and staring off in some direction other than the Forge.]And the second order of business: For the next two ( Read more... )

edward elric, roy mustang, dawn summers, !olivier mira armstrong, nathan drake, sebastian michaelis, utena tenjo, clare

[Maybe it's not the best idea to offer a strange woman a place to stay. But she's never turned down a request for help and the request that it is away from Roy definitely gets her attention.]

Well, I can't help you with the map part but maybe I can offer a place to stay? It's mostly quiet as I'm the only one there for now and I'm usually out during the day.

[She can't help it.]

What did Roy do to you that you need to be so far away?

video wristsniper November 24 2011, 23:14:33 UTC

[Aha. Another offer. Excellent.]

He's an upstart and a pathetic loser in most things he does. I don't like him.

video princely_calyx November 25 2011, 07:32:15 UTC

[Well look, they have something in common already.]

I guess you know him from your home, then. I don't know him all that well but he hasn't really impressed me so far. [Particularly in his dealing with Riza.]

Re: video wristsniper November 25 2011, 21:28:38 UTC

[Beautiful friendship.]

Hah, don't let him fool you into thinking he's anything but a green brat.

video princely_calyx November 26 2011, 08:20:08 UTC

Yeah, there's no chance of that. [Her voice is flat. Thinking about Roy as of late annoys her a lot.] I don't think I've ever seen him do something useful.

video wristsniper November 26 2011, 20:30:31 UTC

...You said you have a room?

[Because kindred spirits and all that.]

video princely_calyx November 26 2011, 23:11:23 UTC

I do. Technically, I have two. It's located here. [A text link appears with the location.] It's above a restaurant that I'm fixing up and opening soon. I'm kind of back and forth between that room and my old room in the outlander apartments. There's not much there at the moment in the way of furniture but it certainly far away from Roy and is quiet.

video wristsniper November 26 2011, 23:37:23 UTC

[Hrm.]

Can we refuse to let him into the restaurant? If so, I'll work for my lodging until I can afford it.

I don't need furniture, nothing fancy even suits me anymore.

video princely_calyx November 26 2011, 23:57:28 UTC

How about instead we levy a Roy tax? Wouldn't it be better to make more money off him? [She's not sure she could ever actually do that but she'll cross that bridge when she comes to it. She can always have Riza pick up Roy's food to avoid a meeting.]

I sure appreciate the help, it's going to be a little rough to get it started. I don't think it'll be too bad though.

By the way, I'm Utena Tenjo.

Re: video wristsniper November 27 2011, 00:09:21 UTC

I like your way of thinking. We can just add gratuity for him. 50%.

If you're renoavting, physical labor is easy for me--even easier now that I'm here, apparently. I can bring people in, too. [Physically. Carry them in.]

Olivier Armstrong. Good to meet you, Ms. Tenjo.

video princely_calyx November 27 2011, 00:27:54 UTC

[She laughs.] I think we'll get along just fine then.

There isn't too much physical renovation to do, mostly touch ups. The building's remained pretty much untouched - somehow. [Even through the recent battles, surprisingly.]

Other people will be great! It'll take more than the two of us to run it fully.

And it's great to meet you, Ms. Armstrong. But please, call me Utena. [They're going to be living together, after all.]

Re: video wristsniper November 27 2011, 00:31:11 UTC

It's actually Major General Armstrong, but people are being idiotic about the title. If you feel like calling me Olivier, fine.

I'll do what I can to keep the place going; I'm not as much a businessowman as I am a strategist, but it ends up being half the same, right?

[Entire place is screwed.]

video princely_calyx November 27 2011, 00:47:01 UTC

All right. [Then hey shall be equals in this name thing.] Olivier. [A smile.]

We'll manage it. Nagi - he owned it before - showed me what went into all of it.

Oh! Are you able to cook anything special? We could add it to the menu.

Re: video wristsniper November 27 2011, 05:24:23 UTC

Stews, meats... Nothing special, if you've got some shitty refined tastes or something. Coffee, too.

[Smirk = smile from Olivier.]

video princely_calyx November 27 2011, 05:42:52 UTC

We'll have to try out the stew then, see if it catches on. And we'll definitely need someone to manage meats.

[This is turning out better than she could have hoped.]

Re: video wristsniper November 27 2011, 05:46:21 UTC

It isn't going to look good. I was doing it on a mountain range with whatever we had available.
