Mind budging over? Just want to take a look at what the 'job market' is looking like.

[And here's Ryou, mug of coffee in hand and a small grin on his face. Then he raises an eyebrow.]

Wait a second.... that one... that one over there...

[He points a particular mission out.]

Is Kisaragi trying to get some schmuck to clean up another 'mess'?

[The way he said mess... oh that ought to bring up memories of some horror stories Naiza may have heard.]

[And she does just that.]

It's what you'd expect, more people getting mad at the corpo--

[That's when her little rant gets cut off by Ryou.]

Mess? You mean those...

[Oh she remembers...doesn't want to though...]

Oooh yeah. 'Those'. You figured after the amount of times their projects either backfired, got loose or just plain went wrong somehow they'd have the common sense to stop.

[Ryou snickers and takes a nice, bitter mouthful of the 'wake up juice'.]

What do you think? Insectile or Cephalapod?

[If she had the choice, she wouldn't even guess. The mental image of one of those things crawling up to her was enough to give her chills.]

...Cephalopod. The insect-types might've been better if they were serious about these things, but they've done more of those.

Kisaragi will always be Kisaragi, though. So it wouldn't surprise me if they tried something new...

[The question is, what could those crazy guys come up with?]

Then next time don't get damaged so much if you have that much of a problem with it.

[This coming from the former pro racer/model who had come back from that mission with barely a scratch on her machine. Ah the benefits of a Super Robot.]

Try telling me that when anything can damage you.

You're supposed to be a contracted professional remember, I don't think you have the right to complain about that.

If you're having that much trouble paying for repairs try to not waste so much ammo next time.

You're making me sound like a pauper. I've been spending a bit more since I got here, and it bothers me, that's all.

When it comes to money, having more is better than having less.

[She pauses.]

You seem to know a lot more about my job than I do, though. Maybe you should give it a try sometime.

Ho...

[Coming up silently from behind with a cigar and poking his nose into other peoples business again.]

Heh not a bad choice. Nothing like population control missions.

[Placing his hands in his pockets he remembers his older days when he did the same.]

These missions pay good but won't help you in the future.

[He was implying that there would be little to gain from fighting amateurs when later faced with stronger foes.]

[Naiza does well to hide her surprise.]

...I guess you're right. But there's been more and more of these coming up lately. We have you to thank for that, you know.

[She sighs.]

These people aren't satisfied just being freed from the Controller. And then we have the butthurt worshipers...

[Castellan pulled out his smoke and gave a smile. It was obvious he took it as a compliment regardless of the true nature of the statement.]

You're welcome. It's my duty to ensure business keeps booming, especially for my lovely juniors.

[He then takes a seat and gives her words some thought.]

There's no making everyone happy and I'm not obligated to do so. Good news is that those ex-worshipers will be after the company that hired me instead of just me.

[It was the benefits of being a hired gun and he was obviously quite proud of it.]

There's more to it than that, isn't there?

Or...do you really make decisions on that scale based on reward alone?

[It did sound like she was just being snarky, but at the same time, it seemed that she was hoping for something more...]

[Expected White Chalice goody-goody two shoes to interrupt you?

Shame it's only Devon then.]

It's not time you'd be killing.

[Still flipping through those jobs.]

I know, it's money.

Muscle Tracers are commonplace in Layered, but these people do manage to get a few of the more annoying models sometimes.

Maybe I'll test out that new laser rifle then, even if it isn't my thing.

Brushing it off so easily, I see.

[Congrats Naiza, now the tall Shifter is all in your face.]

Attacking innocents. If you ever even consider picking up such an assignment, you will find this place suddenly turning very unhospitable.

[She actually looks kinda confused. That's the problem?]

It's already very inhospitable as it is; so that won't change much.

But, I'm not here because I want to be. You can take that up with Global Cortex.
