MASS TEXT; USERNAME: HAWKEYE

[strictdiscipline]

[In the end, she opts for the efficiency of a brief written message. (The message functionality of the jewelry still amazes her from time to time, but she's becoming increasingly fond of how fast it makes communication with others.)]

My name is Riza Hawkeye. I'm a military officer from the nation of Amestris. [Vague credentials, for anyone that really needs them.] There are a lot of us here gathered from different places and times, with different skills and areas of knowledge. I've spoken with a few others and we've agreed it would be beneficial for all of us to have a database of skills to pull from, both for this mission and otherwise.

[Most likely 'otherwise'; she can't be the only one suspicious of ALASTAIR after what happened in Anwick.]

If you're willing to provide a brief listing of the skills you possess, magical [because that's a thing that exists, apparently??] or otherwise, it would be greatly appreciated. If you're uncomfortable using the communications device I'm also happy to meet with you in person.

[And if you're not willing that's cool too. Everyone's got their secrets.]

FROM: Big Kitty

I was just helping Kuro-wan with his enchanted earring ~~~ He asked me, so --! [ He asked to help figure out the jewellery, not for Fai to trick him into setting this embarrassing name. ]

[strictdiscipline]

You two must be very good friends.

[Sorry Kurogane...........]

[evasively]

Does it look that way ~?

[ evanescence plays in the background as fai reflects on his life and how all his friends will probably die ]

Kuro-rin would probably object. He's always mean to me in return!

[strictdiscipline]

[Maybe you should work on that, Fai. Think about those life choices.]

He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would enjoy going by 'Big Doggie'.

[evasively]

[ nah, continues to be useless and miserable for the rest of eternity ]

But isn't it such a cute name~? He'll make a lot more friends like this!

[strictdiscipline]

[goddammit

also she's not gonna deign that last comment with a reply.]

Why kitty and doggie for names? [and not like 'bunny' or smth]

[evasively]

They are aliases that we've used in another world! I couldn't write in the native language, so I drew a cat and dog instead.

[strictdiscipline]

I can see the resemblance, especially for Kurogane.

[i'm gomen nu]

[evasively]

[ you're not gomen though ]

Right ~~~~? He's just one big, grumpy doggy!

I forgot to introduce myself before. You can call me Fai D. Fluorite. It's a pleasure!

[strictdiscipline]

[i'm a tiny bit gomen]

Same to you, Mr. Fluorite. what does the D stand for?

[meanwhile i'm not gomen for this at all]

[evasively]

[ stop doing this ?????????????????/

half-tempted to answer with 'dick' but that's ooc ]

Oh? That's simply a title. The title that the High Mage of my country bears.

[strictdiscipline]

[no, i can use my trc knowledge to my benefit now]

Is there also a ranking system when it comes to magic in your country?

how dare you

[evasively]

[ we don't know ??? kills val??? i'll just make shit up then ]

The stronger mages in Celes are invited to work for the king, where they'll be given ranks according to their magical ability. But the strongest magician - the High Mage - is allowed to bear the 'D' in their name.

[ so that's ... him ... woop woop. good to know there's a useless godmod around ]

also jk here's your real tag

[strictdiscipline]

There must be a very strong power out there if it can prevent you from using your magic.

[Or maybe you're just weak, Fai.]

fai a. fluortie .... amazing

[evasively]

[ this strong mystical power called 'being too chickenshit' ]

Magic leaves a trace wherever it goes. From this trace, the magician can often be identified.

If I were to use it, a certain someone will be able to find me.

truly amazing...

[strictdiscipline]

[How ominous......but his personal life is none of her concern and so she lets his answer be.]

Then I hope for your sake you aren't forced into using your magic. I appreciate you telling me this much.

goes on for the coinz

[evasively]

[ ah thx for not prying deeper, riza ... what a queen ]

I was doing just fine without it, in all those other worlds! [ he's ignoring what happened in the world of lecourt, at least. ]

I've managed to stay alive, after all. [ with a lot??? of help???? kurogane's life is so hard ]

smh!! god i'm so tired my tags are falling apart

[strictdiscipline]

[She tries.....]

I hope you'll also do your best here. There seem to be people who rely on you here.

[camera pans to off-screen Kurogane (and Sakura).]

you brought this upon yourself though

[evasively]

[ people?? what people??? evanescence's full discography hums in the background again as fai reflects on how everyone who relies on him will probably die

look at how he notably doesn't reply to that. ]

Did ALASTAIR recruit anyone you knew in your own world?

i sure didn't

[strictdiscipline]

[Why are there so many dodgy people here......fine!! She'll leave you and your angst buckets alone (for now).]

Not that I've met so far.
