♚ TWENTY NINE

[fearmongering]

[Panning over the train station once more, Rufus ShinRa has complete his task of redoing the posters up late because his mun fails. Switching his watch on, he pans it over one of them for the network to see.

I think this will do nicely.

[Feel free to run into him there or on his way back, or if  you're House ShinRa, be helping him put the posters

[...Not that Kenshin has made a habit of checking the station for new people in the city (he totally has) but this would be the first time that he's come across someone posting something there. He steps up quietly, mostly reading over Rufus' shoulder before speaking]

That should be quite helpful to people who come into the city. [Approval!]

[fearmongering]

Which is what I was hoping for.

[Rufus is not quite use to having people come up out of his line of sight, but that was what he got for not taking Elena's security drone (She would scold at him later.) For now, he just turns around and give the other a brief smile.]Most of us are not as lucky to have people we already know here.

[ishinbattousai]

[Oh don't worry Rufus, sneaky as he may be, Kenshin's pretty benign. He nods a little, a muted smile on his expression. He'd been one such person to arrive with no friends already in the city.

...the city was lucky Sanosuke wasn't first.]

This one imagines that it is more often true for arrivals than it is not. [He tosses Rufus a evaluative glance. You don't seem the type to travel alone, Rufus.]

[fearmongering]

[He knows that type of look, so Rufus turns around fully to get a better look at the other, extending his hand.]

Rufus ShinRa. I am one of the lucky ones, I suppose you could say.

[wontknowtilitry]

Oh, hey! That's great!

[Video]

[fearmongering]

Everything to your liking, Sieg?

[wontknowtilitry]

That should help a lot. Aaalthough ever since Jale and Liu were sent back home I kinda moved, but the place is still set up so people can make use of it pretty easily. I'll see about fixing up things in there.

Also, did'ja hear about our plans to put together patrols?

[Video]

[fearmongering]

I will keep that in mind. [To late to go back though it now, at least until he has more things that needed to be added to the poster. But that he leaves to lie, interested in this new piece of information.]

I have not heard of such yet, do tell.

I have completed putting posters up near the cathedral and clock tower. I will be moving next to the bridge.

Also - I think you left something behind, sir.

[fearmongering]

Good. Meet me back at the center square when you are done.

I've no idea what you mean, Elena.

[Stupid drone 8|;]

[Text]

[provenworth]

Understood. I will be there in 15 minutes.

It isn't wise for you to be wandering around the city without some sort of back-up, sir. If you are not happy with the drone accompanying you, you should at least have myself or Reno go with you.

[Did we neglect to mention that if the drone doesn't follow Rufus out of the building it goes straight to Elena? Our bad.]

[Text]

[fearmongering]

[Yes, yes you did Elena. You're a class A sneak. Granted, that's what he hired her for.]

Take your time, I've some people to chat with.

[ergaleomancer]

Do you really think people will pay attention to them?

[fearmongering]

With the promise of free shelter? Likely. [Really, the most important part is that it has his name on it.] Coming to a place you cannot leave is not usual for most.

[ergaleomancer]

I've met some who really don't care about that.

Also...there's someone who destroyed three shops to make a 'home' inside of them--we need to deal with people who destroy the restocking resources without good cause.

[fearmongering]

The majority is what one should always aim for.

[Oh, but what is this?] What are the details?

[Don't mind HK-50. Wandering by. Covered in blood. It's not human blood, don't worry.

He actually just came out of the forest.]

Many organics will certainly appreciate that.

[Action]

[fearmongering]

[Elena is going to chide him indeed if she sees the company he is keeping without protection.]

Which is part of the plan. [Facing the other, he looks him over, brow raised.] Out hunting?

[Action] - Woops, I forgot "Statement:" in front of that.

[notprotocol]

[What do you know, Elena is his favorite organic.]

Answer: Merely assuring myself that my photoreceptors are still functioning at optimum efficiency.

Statement: I must wonder how this city manages to run so efficiently.

Addendum: In my galaxy, small colonies are often preyed upon by the Exchange and forced to pay outrageous sums of money.

[Action] We'll pretend! :)

[fearmongering]

[Well then, this one was quite interesting. Rufus had made a mental note of him during the mirror incident, but his focus had mostly been on Elena at the time. Now was as good as ever.]

Our time would be our sum here, perhaps, considering that we have yet to find a way to leave this place.

I do not believe we were formally introduced. I am Rufus ShinRa.
