week 0; tuesday

[grigori]

[ no return message, but baraqiel will find kim wherever he is, their daemon not with them. it can instill a bit of an unsettling image, but they don't seem bothered by the absence. ]

Some questions are better suited for one of your Temporals, still, but there are others I can answer fine now.

[voltadomar]

[He acknowledges this with a nod.]

Can I ask you to explain that "conflict" you mentioned earlier?

week 1; tuesday

[grigori]

[ wherever kim is, satariel will come join him, daemon perched raven-formed on their head. ]

Good evening, Lieutenant! I'd be happy to speak with you.

[voltadomar]

Satariel, I presume. Thank you for taking the time.

It sounds like you may already know of me. Have you and your colleagues been observing us?

week 1; tuesday

[grigori]

[ it's the call of a goshawk that gives them away as yomiel approaches. ]

Mr. Kitsuragi. [ a nod in greeting. ] I don't know how much I'll be able to answer, but I'll try.

[voltadomar]

[They find him in the castle courtyard. He nods back in greeting.]

Thank you. I appreciate the effort.

To begin, I was wondering when the three of you came to this city. I assume it was before the rest of us?

week 1; saturday

[grigori]

[ they approach from the direction of the ship, voice tired when they call out. ]

You work fast.

[voltadomar]

I try to.

Do you need the details, or have you been... observing?

week 2; tuesday

[grigori]

[ satariel will come to find kim, daemon a raven nestled against their shoulder, making soft, croaking noises. ]

I'm always happy to have a talk, Lieutenant.

[voltadomar]

It's good to see you, Satariel.

[An amicable nod in greeting.]

I've been hearing more and more about these requests we're able to make of the Watchers here. I wonder if I could ask a bit more about that?

week 2; friday

[grigori]

[ suriel will be a good watcher and go wherever kim takes them, slow going though it may be. ]

You're sure Baraqiel will be okay?

[voltadomar]

[Probably to some room with a couch in the mansion! Suriel's wounds have been tightly wrapped and pressure applied to slow the bleeding as they move locations.]

I'm confident in Miss Belova's skills in aiding the injured. They'll be fine.

Now, let's get these wounds dealt with.

week 3; tuesday

[grigori]

[ once the shenanigans of monday are over with, baraqiel will come to find kim, golden eagle passing by overhead. ]

We're off duty, technically, so it gives us a chance to recuperate. [ mostly. ] What is it that you'd like to discuss.

[voltadomar]

Good. I think you'll all need it.

I've been wondering about a few things regarding daemons and Dust, lately. Perhaps you could help me understand?

week 3; saturday

[grigori]

[ where are you kim? rameel will meet him wherever that is. ]

Oh, this is a rare opportunity. How may I be of service, Lieutenant Kim?

[voltadomar]

[Cool, he's hanging out in the courtyard, having his post-trial smoke.]

That was fast.

To be completely honest, I was planning on contacting Yomiel, but they seem...

[... hm.]

Are they going to be all right?

week 4; monday

[grigori]

[ the whole town is buzzing before the masquerade, and yomiel is out watching the street performers. kim has to wait until they finish to have their full attention. ]

Gun cartridges, right?

[voltadomar]

[Kim doesn't seem to mind the wait.]

Yes. Paper cartridges, 9mm.

week 4; monday

[grigori]

Thank you, Lieutenant, for being thoughtful.

[ satariel will come to find him, wherever he is, raven perched on their shoulder. ]

I'm always happy to talk, though. What can I do for you today?

[voltadomar]

[He nods in greeting.] To get right into it...

[Cecile is perched nearby as a skua, tilting her head as she watches the two of them.]

I know it can be a taboo subject, but I wonder if I could ask you some things about 'roles.'

week 4; saturday

[grigori]

[ they'll meet kim wherever it's easiest. ]

Certainly, I can help with that.

[voltadomar]

[He's out on the ramparts, having a smoke. He's tense, but he tries to keep it from coming out in his voice as he greets them with a grateful nod.]

I appreciate it. I assume I'll need to complete a task?

week 5; monday

[grigori]

We can arrange something. [ baraqiel doesn't seem as bothered by the cold as everyone else, though their cloak is closed completely around them. ] Did you have something particular in mind, Lieutenant?

[voltadomar]

[Kim's wearing his usual jacket (like an idiot, it is not a winter jacket) but with a thick turtleneck underneath. At least he zipped it up. He's got bruises on his face -- the same ones he had during the first week.]

I was thinking about one of the letters we got, which mentioned healing injuries. We can't seem to keep track of who can do what, as far as that's concerned. And a lot of our strip checks have turned up inconclusive, despite there being evidence of an assailant being wounded.

So... maybe something to reveal if someone has been healed recently?

week 5; wednesday

[grigori]

What were you looking to get, Lieutenant?

[ satariel is still keeping their cloak closed tight around them, holding it that way from the inside, as they meander along to meet him, bear lumbering in their tracks. ]

I'll try to make it as quick as possible so you can have it handy!

[voltadomar]

[Kim's got a turtleneck on under his bomber jacket, and bruises on his face. Unfortunate placing, but less gruesome than what most people seem to be sporting. He greets Satariel with a grateful nod.]

Thank you.

I discussed it with one of the Celestials to see if it's possible, but... in short, something to help us figure out if someone among us has been healed recently. I was told we may be able to produce a list of those who have most recently been healed.

week 5; saturday

[grigori]

[ idk where they are but they'll be there! ]

What are you making for them this time? I don't think all of them wrote to you, but they send their regards.

[voltadomar]

We, uh...

[They're at the kitchen, long after they've closed the dining area for dinner, and like. There's a lot. Four pizzas. Bowtie pasta, with two sauces -- alfredo and meat sauce. Three dozen glazed donuts.]

We've been at this a while tonight.

And we also wanted to inquire about sending... more things. I understand if this will require a task from one or both of us.

week 6; monday

[grigori]

[ rameel will...casually appear next to kim with their hands at their waist thoughtfully. ]

Restrictive? In what kind of way?

[voltadomar]

[Well, okay. He'll glance over and accept that this is how you get a Rameel.]

The licenses, for one. I don't have mine with me. Not that they're likely to accept a Revacholian one.

The other issue is the cost. I can probably make up most of the deposit by pawning the bit of treasure I have, but... hm. [He's got like, a broach he nicked from a shipwreck corpse. It might not be enough.]

week 6; friday

[grigori]

[ satariel is going to come and meet kim, fussy, because they don't want him to have to move around too much more than he has to. whatever will be easiest for him, that's where they are. ]

I'd say "welcome back," Lieutenant, but... [ better or worse, coming back to this? ] You still have the tape gun thingy, right? Let's get that reloaded.

[voltadomar]

[He nods, and will hand it over. Guess it's getting another roll of tape, or whatever? Sure.] Thank you.

[He's probably at his room, changed into clean clothes and bandaged up.]

The other thing I wanted to ask about was... [... He hesitates.] I've heard that tasks can be undertaken to restore even a lost limb?

week 6; saturday

[grigori]

I'm sorry that we couldn't let you keep them without a formal exchange.

[ hello kim, suriel is here in a ruffle of feathers. their daemon is still tucked into their hood, but peers out at him curiously. ]

I'll try to make it simple... So can you just tell me about someone that you looked up to at some point? Someone who was a hero to you.

[voltadomar]

Someone I look up to...

[He thinks... and nods. Well, there is a name that comes to mind.]

Captain Ptolemy Pryce. A police captain from the 41st. Jamrock, one of the toughest neighbourhoods in Revachol. A district so dense and full of crime that it really ought to be divided into three precincts...

He's a formidable man. Was a hell of an officer back when he still did field work. Now everyone looks to him for leadership.

[A pause. He slows himself down and reflects a little.] ... I might get the opportunity to work with him directly, soon. If everything goes well...

week 6; saturday

[grigori]

[ no idea where kim is, but shamsiel will meet him. ]

My opinion? Really?

[voltadomar]

[Kim's up on the apartment rooftop. Looks like he just finished having his post-trial smoke.]

Yes, well... We retrieved some things during our misadventure yesterday, and I was thinking about what to do with some of it.
