network [ voice ]

[bufus]

Good afternoon everyone, my name is Mitsuru Kirijo, though I believe I've spoken to at least a handful of you already. Still, it seems polite to introduce myself to those of you I haven't yet spoken with.

[ Her voice is rather formal and proper. Almost as though she were addressing a board at a business meeting. In truth, that wasn't too far off from how she was looking at things here. ]

Since my arrival I've been given a great deal of information and I must admit it was quite a lot to sort through. [ Her voice sounds a bit lighter there, with a hint of a smile hidden in her tone. ] Now that I've had sufficient time to organize my thoughts, I do have a few requests I'd like to make. [ She pauses. ]

To start with, I'd like a map of this place. I have not been here nearly as long as others, so perhaps someone else has something already started that I'm unware of. In that case, I would be more than happy to worth together to see what we can put together. I've been working on my own to compile as much as I can. I...have certain unique abilities that allow me to navigate, though I'm afraid it's much more limited than that of some. [ She pauses for a moment. ] I'm afraid I'm also not much of an artist, so I might require some help transferring my rough notes into something more clear.

[ After a brief pause she gets straight back to business. ] Abilities are another thing I thought we might organize more efficiently. From what I've taken note of there are numerous people here with unique abilities that might prove useful in various situations. I see no purpose in keeping secrets in a place like this, so I am more than willing to discuss my own. More importantly though, I am interested in cataloguing your abilities.

I will be at the Historium for another few hours for those that would feel more comfortable speaking in person. Thank you very much for your time.

[ ooc: if you'd like to meet her in person, feel free to just go straight to action in your comment. She's set up in the back of the Historium at a table that seems to have been purposely picked to obscure her from immediate view. ]

[Oh come on, he's definitely older.]

I don't know, how old are you? You look like a high school student. Which isn't to say that high school students can't do shit. Hell, they're often better at doing shit than most people. But that can be rare too.

[bufus]

I'm afraid I'm not entirely certain how my status as a student or age is relevant. [ She tilts her head and narrows her eyes. ] I'll be graduating at the top of my class in a few months and have already accepted my position as the head of the Kirijo group.

[doubled_speed]

[A smart one, huh? But still young. That doesn't mean she doesn't get the weight of the world. He knows that.]

That's a young age to take over, but that means you've been raised to it. Yeah, you're gonna handle this all well. Cool.

[bufus]

I chose to take on the responsibilities I have. [ She folds her arms across her chest ] Is that meant to be sarcastic? [ Because she's certain she handles things fairly well. ]

[doubled_speed]

No, it's not. I'm serious here.

[He laughs and he smiles. Please don't worry about that.]

I started using my powers to save other people when I was a teen, so I get it.

[bufus]

[ She arches an eyebrow. ] And how old are you now?

[doubled_speed]

Twenty-three.

[Which isn't much older, it's definitely somewhat older.]

[bufus]

Barely any older than. [ She chuckled. ] It's been my experience that adults are far less trustworthy and capable than they act. Though, I suppose there are likely to be worlds where that is not the case.

[doubled_speed]

[Yeah, almost a third her age older than her. He rolls his eyes.]

Adults can be trustworthy. And they can be flighty. But the simple answer is that people are variable. No matter their age. Took me time to figure that out.

[bufus]

As I said, there are likely to be worlds where my experience is not the case. It would be foolish to paint everything with the same brush. [ She bows her head. ] Thank you again for the assistance.

[doubled_speed]

[Tommy nods and offers a smile before standing.]

You need any packages delivered, let me know, okay?

[bufus]

Thank you, that's kind of you. [ She smiles in return. ] I will certainly keep the offer in mind.

[doubled_speed]

[He offers a nod, a little salute, and then he's gone. Speedsters are just like that.]
