04 | video/action for Dissimulo; in which Ran starts some new jobs

[waytoopatient]

['Sup Fortuna.

This is one of the new members of the Watch, Ran. And she's just gotten back from patrol around Dissimulo. She looks a little tired; she's still getting used to doing this, and she shivers, looking a little cold when she walks back into her house.

Everything's still wet outside from all the rain this week, too, so she's kind of trying

[nyanyaya]

Er... yes! That's me. Is there something wrong?

[waytoopatient]

Oh! Ah, no, nothing like that.

[Neeervous chuckle.]

But, I volunteered as well, and he suggested we should chat sometime...since we'll be working together.

My name is Ran. Ran Mouri.

[nyanyaya]

Oh, I see! That makes sense. It's very nice to meet you then, Miss Ran.

[waytoopatient]

It's very nice to meet you too.

[She smiles.]

So you like to cook then, Sasha?

[playwitchu]

The Watch?

[waytoopatient]

Oh--it's an organization that was basically formed to try to protect the cities here on Fortuna. I've only just joined myself, though, so...

[Mmm, still a bit iffy on explaining who they are to others.]

Have you not heard of it?

[playwitchu]

[She blinks both of her eyes and tilts her head. Her right eye having the word HALX all within the pupil.]

I only just arrived here.

[waytoopatient]

[...oh.

She definitely notices something on the pupil, even if she's not entirely sure what it says. She's a bit shocked at that, but she's not really shocked to hear her words.]

I see. I'm...I'm sorry.

[Really, no one should have to be here.]

Has...has anyone helped you? Are you all right?

[modernholmes]

How are you doing, Ran-neechan?

[waytoopatient]

I'm fine, Conan!

[Aw. She's always glad to hear from you.]

Just a bit tired lately, since I joined the Watch. It's been so chilly and wet, patrol's been taking me longer in the mornings...

[modernholmes]

But it's something to do, isn't it? [As poor of an opinion as he had of the watch.] Maybe we should look for more warm clothing.

[waytoopatient]

[She nods. That's a part of it suppose--she doesn't want to feel like she's doing nothing here, while the scientists have their way...she wants to make a difference.

She shivers once though, and chuckles a bit at his suggestion.]

We probably should. How about you, kiddo--do you feel cold?

[Voice]

[u_n_asplode]

...oh. I wonder what's going to happen this year.

[It's not so much a question as a somewhat grumbly statement. Still made by a little girl, though.]

[Voice]

[waytoopatient]

[Oh.

...The sarcasm is not that difficult to detect, even for someone who could be as stubborn as her.]

My--you've been here for a full year already?

[She looks so young...]

[Voice]

[u_n_asplode]

Almost two. But I got here too late for the first.

Last year they gave out candy with funny medicine in it. And blankets with sleeves.

[Voice]

[waytoopatient]

Oh, wow.

[...sjkldlf would she be stuck here for that long, too? She really hopes not. That's just awful...]

Wh-what kind of funny medicine?

[Video]

[sojournsparrow]

You're right, it is too quiet. What we need is a little excitement around here to get the blood pumping. Or perhaps simply some music to do that for us.

[Video]

[waytoopatient]

[--Ahaha. Okay, she's about to protest. She's not trying to complain about how quiet it's been, but merely...just to voice her concerns about it. Ffff, but he brings up music, so that seems far more harmless.]

Haha. You're a fan of music, then?

[Video]

[sojournsparrow]

That is correct dear songbird, for I happen to be the greatest of bards in the planes. Haer'Dalis, [He gives an elaborate bow] or the Sparrow if you prefer.

[Video]

[waytoopatient]

Ah--it's nice to meet you. Sparrow...

[...she...bows, too, slightly, to follow suit. It feels a bit silly bowing to a communicator, but--]

My name is Ran Mouri.
