[If that train ride was any indication, the dangers noted in their dossiers were absolutely real. Seeing so many of the Qorral armed only confirmed the necessity for more coordination than they'd had on the previous mission.

Being the control freak police officer that he was, Hijikata wouldn't waste any time setting something up.]

This mission needs coordination, there's a lot of 'bad land' between us and the Deemers. [Could they hire locals to escort them? Maybe. At a price that was sure to gouge their pockets.]

We'll need to travel in groups. Each one should have several who can fight, and at least one who can negotiate. No one goes alone.

I'll organize them if necessary, but you guys can use this to find your own too. [He doesn't want to hold everyone's damn hands. Just most of them? He'll step in if he deems it necessary.]

So reply with the following information:

1) Name
2) Skill Set
3) Availability
4) Supplies in Possession
5) Supplies Needed / Special Accommodations

1) Julius Visconti.
2) Former combat instructor and squad leader. Possesses advanced knowledge of military tactics. I am completely willing to teach others how to fend for themselves.
3) I find that I'm busy more often than not. Just contact me first and I'll find some time, I promise.
4) I always keep medication nearby in case there's an emergency.
5) Ask for details in person.

[mayora13]

[A former leader, good. Hijikata couldn't lead all of these ventures himself.]

Would you be willing to lead an expedition then?

We can talk about it in person - any meeting place is fine. ['Ask for details' in person was just a little bit foreboding. Did this guy turn into a rabbit at night? Did he have an alien biker gang chasing him around the universe? Hijikata's imagination was already churning.]

[viscontree]

[It's nothing that wild thankfully!!!]

Of course. I just want all of us to make it back home in one piece. No one said that our task would be simple.

As for the meeting place, how about the local shops? I can wait for you by the apothecary. [That's a safe enough location. ]

Alright - you can pick out your own party from the responses here or I can make one for you. Either way.

I'll be there in thirty.

[And he would, hands in his pockets and cigarette hanging from his mouth, as usual. Aloof though he may look, Hijikata is still going through more outlandish possibilities for whatever 'special accommodations' he was about to hear about.

The guy needed to make a blood sacrifice daily? The guy's hair was always on fire and if it went out he died?]

[viscontree]

Thanks for coming down here. I simply prefer meeting up this way rather than sending a simple message. [It's so much better.]

Let's talk about the special accommodations. As things stand now, it's necessary for me to take medical injections very so often. That shouldn't be an issue should it? [Not like he's going to run out of meds any time soon. Just safer to bring up now rather than later. This is too important to leave out. Sadly he doesn't need blood sacrifice or anything of the sort.]

action

[mayora13]

It's fine. [An analogue guy, huh? Well, Julius already far better than the other analogue idiots Hijikata knew. Not that the bar was set high...

Hijikata almost didn't believe such a normal complication. An injection of what, some rare super hard to find serum or you go berserk and kill everyone??? no no calm down you're face to face now.]

No, it shouldn't be. Each party will have at least one healer, though they may be more used to magic than actual medicine. Can you inject yourself?

action

[viscontree]

That's not a problem. I can take care of the injection on my own. The process is simple enough. Going along with a healer should make a difference. [That puts a lot off his mind right there. Thank god for planning.]

It's safer to say these things before hand. You'll never know what'll happen out there.

[Hijikata idly lit another cigarette. This man seemed like someone who would make sure to be prepared before any excursion.

If only they had more like him.]

Right. [So, although it was prying, and Hijikata was a proponent of letting private matters lay, he needed to ask.]

What happens if you don't get your medicine? [He wouldn't press, though, if Julius wanted to answer vaguely.]

action

[viscontree]

[Vague answer is the best he can do at the moment!! Details would make everything more complicated than it needs to be.]

The cells in my bloodstream would undergo contamination resulting in pain. I can't stress on the importance of taking medication enough.

[He doesn't want to suddenly become useless mid expedition now does he? Hijikata's concerns are totally legit.]

Luckily anything too dire can easily be avoided. ALASTAIR's got my medication supply covered.
