WHAT: plus one (1) rock boy, baby.
WARNINGS: n/a

Greetings Libra. My name is Eizen and, for the sake of transparency, I am a member of the Black Order recently assigned here. [ members of the order may recognize the name immediately, specifically as the man inexplicably tied to the multiple instances of a certain someone nearly being eaten by crocodiles. ] I am here to assist with whatever is going on in the city.

[ no, he wasn't thrown over here because they couldn't deal with his curse anymore. is there any more? no, not really. he has some stuff to do, people to see ─ wait actually; ]

I know little about the city itself, so tell me your favorite things about it or any interesting facts.

And if anyone knows where I might get my hands on an extreme weather-resistant umbrella or something similar, that would be welcome.

What makes a regular umbrella different from 'n 'extreme weather resistance' umbrella?

[rockily]

One that doesn't crumble at the first gust of wind.

Eizen?

[whoa, another one of the florida team? And her bro at that!]

What'd you do to finally get kicked outta Florida?

[rockily]

Velvet.

[ honestly, he kind of forgot she had been sent over here. okay, maybe it won't be to bad. ]

I didn't do anything. [ how dare you even insinuate that. ] I guess they grew tired of having to deal with my curse.

If it makes you feel better, it wasn't my choice.

Lapis, they didn't tell me you were assigned here as well.

[Oh.

Oh boy. It's this guy. Ayato vividly remembers the arguments Eizen had in mission reports, some of them stating how long he would go on in a conversation until the other person gave up. And now he's here and yet somehow the crocodiles haven't shown up yet.]

Ah, hello Eizen-san. [God this team is getting more and more ridiculous.] A pleasure to meet you, at last.

[God fucking help all of them if this man gets determined to prove a point, they're going to be here all fucking DAY.]

[rockily]

[ ah yes, his reputation has proceeded him. ]

You as well, Ayato. I would like to apologize in advance for any problems my presence will undoubtedly cause.

[youwouldntdownloada]

Like a military grade one?

...do those even exist...I can try searching online to see if something comes up?

ROCKS

[rockily]

If at all possible. A military-grade one is less likely to break within five minutes of usage.

Thank you in advance.

[First comes a list of some of the better umbrellas Fugo could find.]

I'm not sure if these fit what you're looking for, but hopefully they'll help. I could probably ask around Undertown too, for some magically enhanced ones?

I'm Patrizio Fugo, by the way. It seems like we'll be working together from now on.

[rockily]

[ +1 points for fugo. ]

It's worth the try at the very least. A magically enchanted one may have more of a chance of remaining functional.

It is a pleasure to meet you, however, I am obligated to inform you to take care. I am uncertain whether or not you have been brief about it already, but in some circles, I am known as the Reaper. Those around me have a tendency to suffer from varying levels of poor luck, it may be minor but it has proven to be fatal in the past.

An interesting development, to be certain. I hope you've been well. It's been a few years.

The city may just come down around our heads between the two of you. Perhaps we'll avoid any gatherings for the time being...

[rockily]

Zhongli, it's good to hear from you. I have been well enough. You?

Don't avoid gatherings on my account.

It certainly seems that way.

Been keeping out of trouble, Eunie?

Unfortunately no.

[la la la new black order member wh-

Wait.]

Your name is Eizen?

[It's probably nothing.]

Sorry, it's just not a very common name.

I'm Mikleo, or Assistant Wisteria. I'm with POKEGO. We'll probably be working together at some point, so welcome.

Interesting facts, huh...

When your birthday comes around, a skeleton appears in your room and asks what you want for your present. Is that interesting enough?

[rockily]

[ why you gotta say it like that mikleo? ]

Aye, it is.

[ WHY YOU GOTTA SAY IT LIKE THAT MIKELO? ]

It's fine, thinking nothing of it.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Mikleo. [ a beat, hang the fuck on here. ] ...That fact is more disturbing than it is interesting.

nice to meet you eizen!

uhhhh my favorite thing here is probably my partner
oh and zulius' theater!!!
if you want the goss hes your zebrataur!
as for the umbrella
have you tried a 7-11?

[rockily]

[ .......... he was not expecting such a response, one moment. ]

The umbrellas at 7-11 aren't the best quality, even if I were to get one the chances of it breaking in half within the first ten to fifteen minutes of me owning it are incredibly high.

As for the rest of your message...

I'll keep Zulius in mind if I am in need of information although I am uncertain what you meant by 'zebratuar'.

[Right on time, as soon as Jusis sees this post, he gets a notification from HQ about Eizen's assignment here. As he looks at their current roster and counts, he sighs and gets out the coffee.]

Hello, Eizen. Welcome to Kaisou. Thank you for rounding out our team into an even 13.

[This is hilariously and horrifyingly fitting for Eizen.]

I'd say that I hope your trip was uneventful, but given your situation, I imagine there was some trouble?

[rockily]

Don't thank me, it was the higher-ups that seemed to believe it to be a good idea.

[ he's so sorry jusis, he really is. you didn't deserve this headache but here it is, right in your lap. ]

Minor mechanical issues but that is hardly out of the ordinary. I brought a bottle of rum with me, an apology gift for the headaches I'll inevitably cause you.

[notevensorey]

[Oh. Well. If that's not a name that immediately triggers a memory. Oh, no. Hopefully, they're not the same Eizens!!!!]

Hello, Eizen! Welcome to Kaisou! I'm Dr. Sorey Shepard, or Dr. Rosewood if you prefer. I'm part of POKEGO's psychology division, and I work here in the capacity of a therapist. It's a pleasure to meet you!

As far as interesting facts about Kaisou, there's a Gate here in which you can adopt Pokémon from. If you're at all interested, I recommend you speak with Professors Rowan, Juniper, or Sycamore for any general information, and we have a database you can access for more specific details. If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask Yuuki, aka Azalea!

not here, maybe

[Someone said there's another man with rocks for a brain here, which means that Venti must aggressively befriend them!]

Your name is iron? That's pretty metal.

[Venti hasn't even spoken to Hu Tao yet, and already he's making her types of puns.]

Here's an interesting fact! Sometimes, you might find a man who talks like he's from the Bronze Age walking the streets of Kaisou. If you ask him nicely, maybe he'll give you an interesting history fact to fall asleep to.

[rockily]

[ zhongli, your twink is out here being a menace again. ]

Eizen, iron. Good one.

[ that pun didn't hurt him, not at all. ]

You mean Zhongli? Hardly an interesting fact when I already know of him. You're going to have to try harder than that.

I don't have any favorites. But Phoenix Wonderland is actually from my homeworld.

It's very popular with my classmates, but I am not sure how it compares here.

[rockily]

Can't say I've ever heard of this Phoenix Wonderland, if you are willing to tell me about I would be more than happy to listen.

[whotao]

A crossroads of fate, where worlds collide.

What wonders, what mysteries, what dangers does Kaisou hide?

Friends and foes to be found aplenty,

The will of Kaisou bends to the needs of the many.

[She will not offer an explanation, nor an introduction at this time.]

after a moment of silence, there is... a laugh? it's low but definitely there if you strain your ears before it is joined by a slow clap. ]

Impressive, did you come up with that yourself?
