EVENT ★ WELCOME TO LERAMZEN

[futurologists]

WELCOME TO LERAMZEN After nearly three weeks of "relaxation" in Oska, Audentes is given 48 hours to prepare for their next mission. Right on time, they are rifted to a different dimension, landing them in the futuristic city of Leramzen. Instead of appearing in a large group, recruits are spread throughout the city center so as not to draw attention to themselves, arriving in isolated areas: behind buildings hidden from the street, in public restrooms, stepping into the street from behind parked cars. The key is to blend in, though the metropolitan nature of Leramzen allows for some wiggle room; the locals see enough country bumpkins from all over the galaxy that they're willing to overlook a faux pas here or there from an obvious tourist. Recruits have two weeks before the day of the museum heist. During this time, they should contact their mission analyst, George, but the rest is up to them -- a perfect time to explore the luxuries that Leramzen has to offer. CITY LIFE Leramzen is a highly cultured city, with many museums and theatres, including its prized Lyushny Theatre which homes the galaxy famous Lyushny Ballet. While the natives of this planet are human, recruits will see a wide variety of other life forms in Leramzen, some humanoid and some most definitely not. Try not to stare! The generous stipend will more than allow recruits to take in the sights and treat themselves to a luxury meal or two, but of particular interest should be the clothing and jewelry stores found in the city center. There are shops that cater to any style and taste, including a few bespoke tailors that have a convenient turnaround time of two weeks. In addition to shopping and cultural pursuits, there is an ice rink in the city center, maintained for the long winter season, and horse-drawn carriages that will take passengers on a ride through Leramzen's historic Old Town. This is also a good chance to observe the State History Museum to get a lay of the land before the mission begins. But remember -- don't draw attention to yourselves, so going in all together might not be a good idea. Settle in and take in some sights, and get ready -- because when the mission begins, you never know what you'll be in for. OOC NOTES Welcome to the new mission! Heist sign-ups are now closed for current players, but all characters accepted after May 21st will still have the opportunity to sign up. For more information on the mission, please check the dossier and direct all questions about Leramzen to this thread. Questions about the game in general should be directed to the FAQ and you may submit mission ideas or player plots at any time.

[Yeah, this was making no sense, and Sieglinde is left confused if she's supposed to think Asher was just... being Asher, or if this was him being subtle and undercover but... not really?

Did he want her to follow him out or refuse and go their separate ways as if they had only interacted briefly as fellow museum goers?

Thankfully, Sieglinde's network device is the emerald brooch she wears on her chatelaine, and it's easy to palm without looking odd.]

Which one is it you wish me to pick exactly?

[Shows up in his inbox literally a second later, even as verbally she wavers.]

Hmm...

[moneyballer]

[She is smart, supposedly smart enough to pick up on little clues like this- Not that he'd fault her for not knowing, but maybe he's wrong, maybe this is yet another mistake...

A cacophony of familiar voices in his head accompanies oddly uncomfortable churning in his belly, both familiar now. His self-confidence has taken such a deep dive since the first day he stepped foot on Zeta-12, still fresh out of school and eager to prove himself.

He still, very badly, wants to believe that he has something to prove.

Asher's eyes meet hers as he squints, surprised that she has yet to deduce the same.]

um girl idk about chu but im outtie 5000 b4 the popo snatches us up lol

i'll tell u the deets when were aren't somewhere with a million cameras, probably

[His words convey a different story entirely. To lend some support to them, he tugs at his own collar, fanning himself with his free hand.]

It's gettin' kinda stuffy in here, so...

I'm gonna head out.

You comin'?

[grunehexe]

[Never confuse Sieglinde's sheer academic intelligence and occasional bouts of emotional insight for social smarts, Asher... you shall be disappointed every time.

She also has yet to master Asher's... particular brand of slang. It takes her a moment.]

We did not come in together, so would it not be strange if we met just now and left together? If we are being watched, I should continue on.

[To try and act it out, she gives a vague shrug.]

I have not finished looking yet- but do have a good day, sir.

[They didn't know each other, right? Thinking she's doing this correctly, Sieglinde gives him a small dip of a curtsy.]

[moneyballer]

[Her complete lack of understanding doesn't sit well with him.

Asher isn't angry, as it's hard to feel that way when the person standing in front of you is still a child, however extensive her vocabulary may be, but there it is again, that one lingering feeling that seems to ruin everything.

Doubt.]

right

you're right

[He bows in her direction too, imitating her movements.

Hesitation has wormed its way into his features, from the slight arch of his brows to the slow manner in which he rises back up again.]

See ya.
