[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.

[... 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.]

[ ........ 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. ]
