[locked to sutoku alliance] video, un: levirage

Hello, everyone!

[on the screen is a polite-looking person with messy green hair and purple eyes. they give a wave and smile with their whole face from behind their white-rimmed glasses.]

My name is Leviathan Astrape—Levi, if you'd all like—and let me be the first to welcome you to the Sutoku Alliance! What we do here is a little more up in the air than other factions, but I think that just gives us the freedom to be who we are. If you're not sure what to do next, just keep your ear to the ground and get to know as many people as possible! It really can't hurt in the long term, and it's always better to know more than to know less.

[they don't sound stiff as they're saying it, like they have some practice with public presentations like this, but anyone watching the tracking of their eyes could probably tell that they're reading off cue cards.]

And on that note, we have a few names to know. They'll spend some time introducing themselves, I'm sure, but please keep an eye out for Artemy, Kim, Xingqiu, Yuri, Ydris, Marie, and Cloud. [a pleasant smile as they get to the end of the list.] Please also look out for Emily Dyer, especially if you need any kind of medical assistance or you're interested in helping out there. And our lieutenants within the alliance are Matoba Seiji and, of course, the death-defying Sakamoto Ryouma.

[they gesture in front of them with an open palm towards the person behind the camera.]

You're coming in during exciting times, everyone. We just had a bit of a shake-up at the Tanabata festival. The daughter of an important financial magnate has been kidnapped by an enemy of Toraguma, and though we haven't heard any orders from the Daitengu quite yet, I think we all know how things like this play out.

[and bringing both their hands in front of them, at waist level, they smile and give a polite little bow.]

So please, take this time to get to know your fellow alliance members. [they look towards the camera, then glance at their lapel, where they have a pin with the kanji for sutoku. they laugh like they knew they were forgetting something, and look back up towards everyone else.] And don't forget to pick up your official faction pin from most places within our area if you're interested.

[they wave goodbye, then stand there for a couple seconds. without the feed cutting, they walk forward towards the camera and start talking much more casually.]

Was that okay? Getting those names right was harder than I expected, and I even cut out a lot of the last names. I don't know how you did it the first time.

Hehe, y' know, I wondered about that "death defyin'" part on paper, but hearin' ya say it like that makes it sound pretty heroic! And honestly, I'm pretty sure ya did way better with those names, now that I'm thinkin' about it...

[ anyone who isn't new here will recognise the voice that responds to them from behind the camera, especially with that accent. ryouma is pretty sure he botched a couple names last time, mostly for that same reason. he might be able to fake it and cover it when he's speaking his own language, but when it comes to foreign-sounding words all bets are off. ]

So that was perfect! I think ya gotta real knack for this sorta thing!

[ which... hmmm, take that with a grain of salt because this man long predated show business, but still!! judging by his tone, ryouma is very pleased since all his coaching and cheerleading and cue card holding paid off, in his opinion! sure the rest of the faction will agree... right? ]

((this is a mingle post! feel free to threadjack and get to know everyone within the faction. and thank you again to min for contributing ryouma here!))

[Croix manages a sad smile.]

It's nothing to be sorry for. In the end, I'm responsible for this Chariot's experiences as well, so. It's my responsibility.

[A pause.]

Do you want to know? The full extent of what I've done, I mean. So there can be no secrets between us, I mean. I feel I owe it to you.

So... predictions from the stars?

[Not the kind of fortune teller he's used to, but still could be useful.]

I'm interested. [Though, out of curiosity.] Do you do tarot as well?

Military contract killer to headmistress is a hell of career change.

[He's wary, but well... Espionage, reconnaissance and magic school (???) all pique his interest enough to bypass contract killing. Some of his best (worst) friends (it's complicateds) were contract killers after all.]

Why weren't you good at espionage? Doesn't assassination involve espionage?

You're most certainly welcome, and I'm grateful to Ursula for the opportunity.

[ The business has been doing well, and she's proud of that! ]

An old associate from her home, I presume? Well, welcome to the Alliance. You'll see her quite often.

Not at all, Totoko. Did you want to learn how to punch something?

[Oh, this should be fun. She hasn't trained normal humans before, so this would be so absolutely fascinating.

Plus, Totoko is smol.]

I was also a teacher at some point, in between all of that! I've been through a lot of fun career changes.

[At least she's... Fairly nice, despite her very odd resume, greeting Akira with a very friendly, and wide smile.]

It does, but I had scouts do most of the work for me. My main job was to just kill on sight. No muss or fuss, you know? Having magic, and all that fun stuff makes it easier in my world, I think.

[Oh!]

Welcome to the Sutoku Alliance, by the way. What's your name?

Donatello. [DO U GO AROUND CALLING PPL 'HUMAN'??? weirdo

however...he does like his activities being referred to as 'big brain,' so he will let it go because this guy isn't wrong...]
Polycarbonates are a kind of thermoplastic polymer. It's used in tons of manufacturing so any place that manufactures plastics and resins probably also has polycarbonates.

[personal profile] kaientai 2022-09-12 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Right! Understood!

[ sometimes knowing whether someone is human or the spirit of a famous weapon (or famous dead guy??) is relevant, buuuuut ryouma is also fairly sure they won't have another donatello around to differentiate between. ]

What are ya lookin' to build? Findin' it shouldn't be too difficult. This place seems like it has most of what ya could find on Earth around the 2010s.

[ because something something time travel. ]

[ Great. Great! He loves thinking about mangled corpses swelling in the sun.

But does he seize on the word duty and invest a few remaining slivers of hope in it? Maybe. ]


So we have shareholders. [ Illusion of egalitarianism, we hardly knew ye. ] Do you think him kicking off the 100 billion yen sweepstakes was a strategic move? [ As opposed to a cry-for-help type thing. ]

Ha ha okay. 2010. Thank you, but I'm not looking to acquire third hand antiques for this particular project. It is custom and built to spec.

Is that so? Lookin' forward to workin' with ya then!

[ as a person who often makes ridiculous statements and then has to back them up, ryouma is willing to believe it... for now! ]

Seein' as I didn't try for it and ended up gettin' promoted anyway, I'd say so, yeah! Whatever ya wanna do, havin' it can grease the wheels in a lotta ways, so t' speak. The pay check don't hurt either, hehe.

[and switching since this deals with personal information:]

It isn't my specialty, but I understand the basics. I still have Dr. Heng's notes, since I assume she was the one you speak of. I'm more than willing to attempt to step in to her place, though I will be frank if things are beyond me and take on the task of finding you an appropriate specialist, if that's satisfactory.

My full designation is YoRHa Number 9 Type S. That means I have the number 9 personality and my model is built with scanner functionality in mind. I share the same personality base as other models with the 9 personality, but we're different people. I'm not a combat unit so I would approach a situation differently to 9B, for example.

[Nevermind that he modified himself for combat anyway. But being able to fight is very different from being good at it. ]

You could say it's a bit of both. Humans adapt and change as they face situations and experience events, don't they?

[ He should have known, truthfully, that someone would ask about the actual business side of the business. He'll respond with text in kind. ]

no worries.
to answer your question, it varies.
sutoku entertainment is a lot of live performances.
musical acts, dances, live theater.
the cloudy wolf is meant to showcase up-and-coming talent.
those who don't have the name to get into the bigger establishments.
or those who are learning how to perform there, who need practical experience.
that sort of thing.

Well, since you saved me the trouble of going to ask you myself—

[ A joke, obviously. ]

I can't say your expertise would be anything but very welcome, Marie. Only so much I can teach on my own.

[ He's more than willing to switch inputs depending on how someone is feeling. So for this, Kou gets voice only. ]

In theory, I guess. But usually when someone loses their pin they're pretty quick to report it.

People have tried it in the past in other factions and it's been pretty hard to fake being a member of another faction on just having a pin.

Why? You expecting to lose yours that quickly?

That's very kind of our leader, to be so concerned, and I'd also recommend following their advice.

Regarding her notes, it's what was left behind - I can promise you we don't gossip about patients and their conditions. We take that quite seriously.

It's nice to meet you, Ayase-san. I'm Midoriya Izuku. Every skill can be a useful one here in the Alliance so don't worry if you're feeling overwhelmed.

I have to ask though. I'm curious... What kind of dioramas?


[Because Sutoku is full of weirdos and nerds and he's sure even that skill could be used somewhere.]

[ Oh, Tifa's... in Sutoku. Give him a minute, he has to try and compose himself as he looks at her, a feeling of sheepish bemusement overcoming him as he talks. ]

Well... it's only just now opened, so it's not a huge thing... yet. But by the daytime it's a theater that offers courses on dance, music, acting. That sort of thing. There's private rooms for if you need a place to practice, too. A lot of the daytime hires-on are locals wanting to help foster local talent.

After hours, it's... well. It's a training hall. Hopefully there's enough of us to help get people caught up in how they want to fight. There will be training dummies, areas where you can practice on your own or with everyone else... that sort of thing.

[ He scratches his head as he looks away. ] ...I went through a bit of trouble to make sure it could be the best of both worlds, for people. But thankfully the boss seemed into the idea.

Welcome to the Sutoku Alliance, Kurusu-san. I'm Izuku Midoriya. I'm a student from Japan too, I thought it might be nice to say hello.

The alliance is in between situations right now. With the financial magnate's daughter being kidnapped it's impacted some of our businesses. So, right now it's hard to say where will see work next. But I think it will be to help with those businesses. Working in a café might come as better work experience than you might think!

I appreciate that you posed the candy store question out in the open so others can profit from the answers.

[ Which means he absolutely noted down Matoba's response for himself. ]

Theatre is your profession then?
