melodiesofkupo | Help Wanted [video] (backdated to the 15th)

[While the last video Gi posted was oddly lit courtesy of Ka'Pandol's bioluminescent lights, this one is normal, and he's not hanging off the edge of a bed this time. It's mid-morning when he makes the video and clearly he's recently woken up because his normally relatively spiky hair is fluffier than usual.]

Out of curiosity, if I planned a group exploration of the Genesis Ruins, would anyone be interested in joining that group with me?

[He waits for several seconds, glancing at something off-screen, then back to the camera before shutting it off.]

--

[A minute later, a new video is attached to the post, and Gi's laughing right off the bat.]

Don't take that last video seriously, I was only kidding about that. But I am looking for people--

--Test subjects, kupo.

--people to help me test some projects. Nothing super dangerous, I've just been trying to reverse-engineer some gear I've found with no luck, so I don't know if it's me or what. Any takers? I might be able to provide compensation of some sort.

Genesis Ruins are widely considered to be the biggest death-trap on this planet, aren't they? At least next to the hamsters.

There's some competition with the Death Pool, but basically yes they are.

Ah. I see the joke.

So you weren't trying to suss out the most suicidal among us to see who'd make for a good candidate for your "project," then?

Ah...suicidal people tend to be more dangerous than I feel like dealing with, so no.

I see... So you were luring in the adventurous and reckless types. Clever.

[Not convinced at all. Sorry, Gi.]

So what exactly is this gear you're working on?

I thought it'd get people's attention better.

[Darn, his plan has failed.]

Accessories, mostly. I'd try to work on custom armor, but it...hasn't been going well.

[He's also been busy, so there's that as well.]

[She may not be eager to become his guinea pig, but at least she's mildly curious. All hope isn't lost!]

Oh? I didn't realize you were a blacksmith.

[Selphie looks at Gi thoughtfully and curiously before deciding on a course of action.]

What's in it for me?

[Someone isn't exactly in the mood for a suicide mission, thanks.]

[Suicide mission not required!]

Gil, lunch somewhere, or something equivalent...?

[Selphie's not convinced.]

What do you need tested? Why go exploring there? Aren't there other, safer, closer to populated areas in case something goes horribly wrong places that you could go explore?

I'm not actually planning on going to those ruins. There are places that are a lot safer and easier to get to. B'Alesia, places around Myste Aura...

[B'Alesia is creepy, though.]

Ela Nohr isn't bad, though, if you don't mind total anarchy.

[Selphie gives Gi a questioning look before responding in a sing-song voice.]

But you didn't answer the other questions~

No no, Go back te the bit about explorin' the ruins. That sounds astoundingly stupid and ye've got my attention.

It is. Only a few people are known to have visited them and come back alive. Barely, though. I've heard rumors that a god lives in the deepest part of the ruins and lends his strength to the monsters living there to keep everyone away.

[Among other tales.]

Huh, sounds like my kind've adventure. When yer serious about that first offer, let me know.

As fer the second, I've fiddled with magitek before. S'not my forte by any means but I can come help if ye'd like.

It’s probably just you.

[ And Lean is messing with him for no apparent reason before switching to a private channel. ]

Care to explain what you’re scheming?

maybe it's You.

[It's not.]

I'm not scheming anything, I promise you.

[ An off-screen sigh. ]

‘Nothing super dangerous’? I get the desire to experiment, but you’re not even trying to sound subtle.

still got people's attention.

i Don't know if I could even make anything dangerous right now, unless I really tried. And yeah, not tryingf or subtlety right now.

Are you volunteering?

Try not to blow anything - or anyone - up. I can’t believe I have the one to tell you.

[ This Chemist sounds somewhat cranky today... though Gi is probably used to that at this point. ]

What’s in it for me?

[ Hm. Gi's still not her favorite person in the world right now even if they've buried the hatchet but... well, she's curious. ]

What kind of gear?

Edited 2018-07-30 00:47 (UTC)

[She's not his favorite person either, even if it's just because he's still sore about last month.]

Accessories, light Armor...nothing that needs to do heavly lifting in battle right now, just in case.

Oh.

When you mentioned reverse engineering I thought it was gonna be something tech-related.

[ a.k.a. something she'd... actually be interested in......... ]

well, if you don't consider magitek a kind of tech then no it isn't

[ Huh, so it is magitek armor. He coulda just said that. ]

I'll take what I can get.

[ Is that... her agreeing to help out? ]
