Good morning, Keeliai.

[ Monet's seated, her clothes neatly pressed, colours deliberately chosen to contrast the comfortable seat in front of her console, one leg crossed over the other. She hasn't found any nail polish a-turtle yet, or she'd be wearing that as well. Her tone is pleasantly pitched, and even-keeled. ]

My name is Monet Saint-Croix, and I'm acquainted with several kedan who're willing to accept temporary assistance from Foreigners for tasks our gifts are more suited to handling [ i.e., with superpowers ]. This is an excellent opportunity to get more involved with the local community, and perhaps improve relations. [ a polite smile to punctuate ]

If you're interested in helping, kindly come to the office [ a location ping in the Metal Sector ] provide your name, the types of cases you're accustomed to handling, and where we can reach you if a suitable match turns up. Should you wish to be a part of the venture but under a [ her nose wrinkles, just barely: she can't believe she's about to say this ] superhero identity, that can be negotiated. Payment will be by commission, depending on how satisfactorily you complete your task.

If you have any questions you may direct them to this console. [ A short pause, for another smile. ] We look forward to working with you.

[ And with that, she turns off the feed. ]

[ooc: feel free to jump straight to action, she'll be at the office all day. ooc planning post is here, job list is here, and do fill out telepathy permissions if you have time, thank you.]

[By now Reiner knows his way around the metal sector well enough. Only a fool wouldn't check out the area they are staying in. A fool or someone without enemies, and he is neither.

His posture is relaxed enough when he steps into the office, still far more comfortable with face to face communication rather than these otherworldly consoles. He greets her with a little nod of the head.]

You're the one with the job offer, right? [A small grin stretches onto his face.] Can't say I'm exactly much of a superhero, but I'm hoping you got a spot for me somewhere.

[Monet, somehow, is still as immaculate and put-together as she was on the broadcast. She's spent most of the intervening time reading, and closes the book as Reiner knocks. She smiles, politely.]

I'm sure we can find a fit. [Reaching for a file and a pen, she looks up at him.] Please, sit down.

Thanks.

[At her invitation, he does take a seat, elbows resting loosely on his knees, as he raises an expectant brow at her.]

So, what do you need to know of me?

For starters, if you have a personal trainer, [said idly, as she flips to a blank page and sets the file on the table. The document is in French.] but your name, occupation at home, and current residence in Keeliai would suffice.

[If only. All this sitting around with constant training is making him feel antsy. Which is half of the reason why he is here.]

Reiner Braun, soldier and I don't live too far from here. ME-2D.

[Nevermind that he doesn't spend any of his time there. But he doesn't trust her, doesn't trust anyone here enough, to give her Annie's address.]

[Neatly, she writes that down. Good that he's in Metal Sector too, it makes people easier to reach.]

What are you used to fighting?

Titans.

[His face becomes a little more serious.]

It doesn't seem like most people here are familiar with titans. I suppose the quickest explanation would be that they are human-shaped monsters, most being anywhere from three meters to fifteen meters tall though there are exceptions. Nobody really knows where they came from, but what we know is that they suddenly appeared a bit over a century ago, and decimated human population. If it wasn't for our walls, we probably all would've been devoured decades ago.

[His heart beat picks up just a little, almost imperceptible. Whatever story he is telling her is a no doubt a mixture of truth and lies.]

That's what I've been trained to fight.
