[Looks like the feed is focused in on the shadow of someone changing. It's being projected on the wall and the silhouette is striking. Tightly fitting into something that might be a size too small even as they pull up a stocking]

On orientation, it was to my understanding I wasn't here for civil affairs.

[They're adjusting their top and seem to be struggling momentarily]

Still, now that the rescue is complete and things have settled down, I'm interested in some field research. This requires an assistant though...

[Footsteps before young children might have to look away. The breasts are only visible for a moment before the communicator is picked up, one cross eye gazing into the feed]

A Weapon specifically. I'd prefer one ready to go 24/7, but I suppose I'll be lenient and allow for try outs. Who knows? I might make an exception.

[Filtered to the Watch]

Since we will be working together, I'll have to take a moment to be formal. Call me Valentine. I'm assigned to the Outer Residential District Two for shift two.

[Filtered to Painwheel]

I'm was expecting you and this is where you decide to run off? You're proving to further be a disappointment, Painwheel.

Comments

[entreats]

[ At least that's one thing she'd agree on..

There's a mumbled 'very funny' before she goes on. ] Ah well, even if you don't mean it in the right way, it's not like this network can get any worse by now.

[niptuck]

[Oh deadpan girls. Reminds her of Marie annoyingly enough.]

I would be surprised if this was the worst display, but at the same time, it's also disappointing. You're only the second person to complain, or at least, attempt one. [Not counting Painwheel, but that's entirely different.]

[entreats]

It's since most people were probably actually glad to see something like that. Did a lot of guys reply? [ That's what she's assuming, either way. She doesn't have too high of an opinion of people to believe that guys could not have perverted thoughts.. ]

[niptuck]

Again, surprisingly, no. Only one and he happens to be my boss.

[Good first impression? Actually, it was. She shrugs] This experiment didn't go as expected, but I've collected a fine sample.

[entreats]

[ Huh. Are the guys in this city really that chaste?! It's strange, but whatever, as long as Yuri didn't see she doesn't care. ]

All of this was an experiment to begin with?

[niptuck]

[Doubts exist; they may have been occupied. If they were all chaste, my my...]

Most of it.

[entreats]

.. Please refrain from doing that kind of experiment again. You got the results you wanted by now, right?

[niptuck]

[... What's this?]

Concerned I might attract someone's attention?

[entreats]

No, of course not. [ Lying through her teeth.. ] It's just that I don't particularly feel like seeing stuff like this clogging up the network.

[niptuck]

[How precious.]

I'll be using this mainly for business from now on. You don't have to worry about losing anyone.

[entreats]

Does it look like I'm worrying?! [ yes, because being defensive is going to make you seem much more believable, ange.. ]

Just.. forget it. Do whatever you want, not like I care.

[niptuck]

Since it seems like you want my honest answer, yes. If you're that concerned, that's something to take up with this 'friend' of yours. You insecurities are not my problem.

Ah, how disappointing. You seemed promising... [Valentine hangs up.]

[entreats]

[ ........ She's staring at the device for another moment, and without even really realising it she keeps on going to the black screen-- ]

Like I needed your approval.

[ Then she finally puts her device away too. ]
