Video / un; Chasseur

[It was time, time for another post from the Sofa of Suave. Right now she had her hair tied up in a bun, and was wearing her Grenadiers uniform. The bearskin hat next to her and a glass of beer in hand and large, lion familiar lounging at her feet. While her officer's sword sat propped up off to the side of the sofa. She looks so very big... so bold... so sharp... so interesting!]

First off, I would like to give thanks to everyone that had helped with my cafe's deliveries the other month. There would have been no way for me to meet the increase in demand. [A sip of that beer followed by a pleased sigh.] If anyone would like help with anything, please don't hesitate to let me know.

[Cue a charming, infectious smile~! Her green eyes twinkling and so very captivating! That lion at her feet just yawns and bats his tail around.]

Second, I have to confess, I've been in a creative rut as far as creating items and potions with my alchemy is concerned. [She sounds incredibly remorseful at that! And even looks down and away from the camera in abject remorse. Oh no....]

So... if anyone has any ideas or requests, please let me know. A-and... if anyone who was under my command during the siege was harmed or cursed I'm... I'm... I'm sorry that I failed you.

[Here she bows her head, tears slowly welling up in those enchanting, emerald eyes. Gasp! In all seriousness though, if you haven't seen her for a hot minute... well there's your answer to why.]

I hope you'll forgive me!

[ooc: I don't even know, if anyone wants to do anything specific feel free to hit me up here or use any of the methods listed~.]

[ Well she certainly is quite a lady, then her message turned a little sour for his liking. ]

Good day, miss! Noah LeClair at your service!

[ He says beaming to take things away from the latter portion of her message. ]

I was wondering a little bit about them deliveries you mentioned, you reckon you'd be needing anymore help in that regard, perhaps in the near future-ish?

[She does regret the overall end of the message, but still seems to be keeping herself cheery all around. It helps that she's just oozing in that sweet, sweet charisma~★]

It's a pleasure to meet you, monsieur.

[She fixes him with a warm, open smile that just beckons for him to listen or even tell her more about himself.]

Oh, I'm glad you asked. While I don't have anything in place at the moment, the overall success of last month has certainly encouraged me to begin looking into creating a delivery service for the cafe that I run. Though part of me is still a little hesitant to go through with it for the long term. [She hums a bit in thought, before sipping on her beer in one, smooth motion.]

That's reasonable, hiring staff for deliveries is a bit difficult and a pretty hefty investment.

[ Gods know he played those cards close to the vest back home. Hiring was always so daunting, not to mention difficult. ]

I run a courier service back home, meself. Me brother, ol' Max, and meself ran Lantern Light Deliveries,though it was mostly me and Max what do the heavy lifting.

It's not just that, but the overall cost for making the deliveries can be quite high. Some of our clients are in areas beyond Camelot, which can make things a bit trickier.

[She nods her head, looking a bit more thoughtful. There was also that cost vs. benefit to somethings. While Belgium was confident in her business's ability to field some of the cost; the question for just how high of demand there would be for it all was in the back of her mind.]

Oh, but is that so? [Sparkles! She looks super interested. Please, tell her more~!] Courier work is quite difficult, but also very necessary, isn't it? You and your brother must be quite amazing to run one back home.

Awww, its nothing special.

[ Though he's the one doing the actual deliveries, while his brother does the paperwork. ]

It is kind of difficult though, particularly time management. Estimating distance, how much speed I lose versus how much I'm carrying, route to take, fragile cargo, that sort of thing. Not to mention the paperwork if I have to get cargo from the ports.

My you say it's nothing special but it certainly sounds like it is!

[Another, smooth sip of her beer follows.]

Yes, the weight of the package, how the parcel is packaged, distance and time, risk of danger... followed by paperwork. All of that is quite special! And I'm certain you must have a few stories to share about it!

Nothing terribly interesting I'm afraid. Maybe a few high strung clients, some more demanding than others, but nothing remarkable.

[ He does forget that people are from other worlds and that what is boring to him may just be interesting. ]

Oh well, there was one time I had to pick up and deliver a package from the port to a government office. Really queer package it was. About the size the microwave but client demanded I use the truck just for that, then I had to sign an NDA too. I was tempted to ask, but them torches I picked her up from looked like the kind that could make me disappear for asking one too many questions.

See, stories like that are quite interesting. It's more than just money, but also the people you meet during it. It might seem uninteresting to you, since it's something you do daily.

But I'm certain that there was quite a bit of adventure to be had!

[Says the person dressed in a ceremonial uniform, drinking beer on a bitchin' sofa next to a lion. Just oozes charisma~]

I suppose. Its was pretty nice seeing more of my tower, prior to that I didn't any reason to go to the upper levels.

[ Not that he has the cash to even go to those levels. ]

Although questionable packages like those are not something I'd like to have to deliver frequently. Also I don't think I got your name, might have missed it.

I think this is the first time we've met, so please forgive me.

[Sighs, how embarassing. To have forgotten to introduce herself on her own post! Well that's what you get when you're so used to people you know replying!]

I am the Kingdom of Belgium, though you may also call me Anri. If you want. [She doesn't even miss a dang beat with that. It was spoken so freaking chill and dripping with charisma that one would be compelled to not just believe her, but also take it in stride with equal chillness!]

How about you? May I have your name, mon bel homme? [She takes another drink as her last words were said with equal cool and interesting charisma; but with a little added bit of huskiness for him.]

[ He finds it a bit odd to refer to oneself as a kingdom but, he got a name to the pretty face. ]

Anri, that's a nice name. You can call me Noah. Noah LeClair.

Pleasure to meet you.

The pleasure is all mine, Monsieur LeClair~.

[The powers of the sofa that be ups her charm tenfold as she smiles!]

Regardless of business, I do hope you have enjoyed your stay in Avalon thus far. Well, besides the latest bit of drama.

It's been a lot to take in, for sure. Honestly still having trouble all this is real, to be honest. I mean, before all this I was literally just a delivery boy, what am I supposed to be doing help prevent the end of the bloomin' world.

Hm~? Well for starters you could get out there and help out local charity organizations. Or simply say hello to someone looking down or just wanting to talk when no one else responds. The small stuff that looks insignificant goes much farther than the bigger actions.

Also, most of the time the day is saved by regular people. Not by knights or heroes. [She polishes off her beer.] So don't worry about it too much or overthink it.

I'm gonna need to find a stable job to donate anything, unless I'm to donate the shirt off my back.

[ He doesn't mind walking around half naked but, think of the children. ]

But I get what you mean. Still I should help myself up before I go out poking my head out.

That you should, luckily, it's quite easy to find work and make a bit of cash here. Enough to where you can live comfortably.

[Like her and her Gucci sofa. Seriously, the thing just seems to ooze suave and radiates confidence! Just like the woman sitting on it! There's so much confidence in her words alone that it could help bolster his own! Along with anyone else that might be listening in.]

Have you asked around, or looked at the quest board?

I have, yeah. Kinda sketchy though, don't you think? Or maybe it's just me.

[ Just him. 100%. He's not used to the idea of goodwill towards complete strangers without some kind of binding contract or legal guarantee. Any random form of goodwill is usually by accident or they know the person. ]

I'll try it out. I suppose if I think of them like Diver contracts, it might make things a bit easier for me to fathom.

Just think of them as being odd jobs. There's no shame in taking up a request for help. Or getting paid for it.

[As far as she was concerned it was like taking up a job painting a house, or watching someone's kids. Usually a bit more dangerous and demanding but still!]

Otherwise you shouldn't have to worry too much. It is usually best to take things slow when you're in a a situation you don't understand quite yet. And if you want something more steady then I'm sure there's someone lookibg for help and will hire you. Or you can try your luck at becoming a noble.

[ He gave a laugh in response to her last statement. ]

Right, sure. I'll get right on that then! I'm sure I'll be one before the end of the month!

[ If hard work and helping others was all it took to become nobility, he'd have become one before he turned seventeen. ]

I very much believe you could.

[She sounds super earnest about it, and encouraging! You go and become some posh noble-person guy!]

Just remember to invite others to your big, fancy castle every once and a while~.

Heh, sure. I'll remember to that while I'm siting on me gilded couch and drinking fine spirits.

[ Which should happen when he's dead and dreaming. ]

Don't forget having a pair of cuties hanging off of you like you're a rich playboy. Sir LeClair.

[Who knows, maybe one day he too, can afford a Sofa of Suave.]

The sir sounds a bit weird, but I do like the idea of a lovely dame on me arm. Just one though, two at the same time is just a lot of work not to mention inviting a lot of trouble.

[ Which he says from personal experience. ]

[She reaches over for another bottle. Popping the top off with practiced, and smooth ease. Before pouring it into her glass, leaving a perfect and beautiful head off beer as she finished.]

A man who knows his limits then~? How wonderful, there's quite a few who would jump at the chance to have two or more hanging off of 'em.

[A moment to smell her drink before she follows up with a sip, holding the beer in her mouth for a moment before slowly swallowing a sigh. Lovely.]

Of course, it all depends on the man and women if there's trouble. And what sort of trouble.

I'm sure it sounds amazing to some, but I've yet to meet a torch who can handle having two women and not have it spectacularly explode in their face.

[ Not to mention funds needed for something like that. ]

Besides, I've not the time to pursue two women. Well, before I didn't have the time.

[ But now he does. Which is weird. ]

And now you do.

[Well, sort of. Besides the whole universe ending disaster looming overhead right now. It's all good though.]

Enough free time to do whatever you'd like and not really have to worry too much about money.

I reckon I do, don't I? Though I'm fairly certain I'd still prefer just one lady at my side. I'm a one girl kinda guy.

[ Says the chronic flirt. ]

Just saying that alone might make a few girls swoon~

If only it were that simple!

[ Actually, if it were he probably wouldn't be a flirt. He likes the chase and making girls react. Its fun, and he gets to see cute sides to them. ]

You're right, that's just a part of it. You have to win them over first with your charm and good looks.

You need...ideas? [His teeth flash, always happy to help a fellow creator! ~~If it's fun.~~]

Enough crying. You're not going to make anything better by drowning us!

[He's...funny? Or trying to be at any rate.]

Mm, I apologize. I simply can't help it, and felt it should be mentioned. As the one leading any responsibility falls to me.

[Lip wobble, followed by a solemn look of solemness that's all sorts of anime level protag dramatics, and elicits similar emotions from viewers. Seriously blame the sofa.

She shakes it off at the first question though. Breaking into a warm, easy smile followed by the smoothest dang sip of beer he'd ever done see! You can be funny and dramatic!]

But yes! I do need ideas! I've reached a bit of a creative block you see and need some inspiration.

See? That's your problem. You accepted responsibility so you feel like you have to answer to someone. But the truth is? You don't.

[Unless you want to. That's a bit different and ventures into subject matter that makes him flustered.]

What kind of inspiration? Are you looking to hurt people or help people? Do you have any enemies? Or maybe just some random targets for mischief-making?

Perhaps it is a bit silly of me to. But to not take responsibility for anything when you were the one in charge is quite irresponsible. It is still my responsibility to do so, because it comes with the duty.

[She reclines back, legs crossing themselves as her lion familiar shifts his position.]

For inspiration, I was thinking less harmful and more helpful.

[She gives him a playful, charming smile here.]

And maybe just a little bit of mischief~.

According to...? [If you're the leader... Is he missing something here?]

Alright, alright, Miss Knight. [He'll have to think about that one. Helpful... Helpful...]

Thank you for that~ [Grinning, he leans in, voice lowering:] What magic did this place give you? That will help me decide.

I mean, it's natural that an officer would to some degree.

[Knights were given authority to direct peeps during the whole ghost invasion thing. She feels bad that her decisions could have possibly caused people to get hurt/cursed. For Belgium it felt more than a little like she should say something.]

I have alchemy and plant magic. [She leans forward, also whispering~.]

[He blows a raspberry. That's what he thinks of officers. ~~Real mature, Xue Yang!~~

But then he smirks and looks like a cat ready to pounce.]

Plant magic! My A-Chen has that too. It's useful~ [So, let's see.] Can you combine your magic and make a plant shield that is also poisonous?

[Whoa, dats rood! Wut a rood dude! Watch her frown at him, super disappointed and feel that charismatic charm make him feel all bad and stuff! >:3]

Of course, [She gives a pleased sigh following another drink of her beer.] I can also grow and control plant material at will and have toyed around with making golems from it.

[Said super nonchalantly.] I've become quite good at it~.

[The roodest! Give him the title now please and all the candy/sweets in your possession. That shall be his prize!]

Oooh~ [He rests his chin on his hand, eyes bright.] Golems! I love golems. Dolls, too. They are great for defense.

Can you keep giving them orders once they are made?

[He'll get candy! As in... uber bitter choco kind of candy!]

I can, they are still made out of plants, after all. It can take a bit of concentration though. But I can manage.

[There's quite a bit of confidence in her voice as she says that! It's just as infectious as that easy smile of hers.]
