hello.

i have several questions for the outsider populace and i require truthful answers.

1. what are your abilities in battle?
2. what is your estimation of your skill with your own abilities?
3. who are you?
4. what was your proudest moment?
5. what was your weakest?

answer as you see fit. i’m not your boss.

[ this isn’t how one goes about making work acquaintances but it’s direct, it’s simple, and choso can’t be bothered to care if it meets industry standard. ]

next time then

[ he broke ]

[problemagus]

( U kno what? He'll give you this one for free. )

I run an Izakaya in the business district, and I'm in need of a barback.
I'll if you want to work for me, I'll tell you.

[gimu]

[ oh, hey. it just so happens he just finished pouring his allowance into something weird! what could be more convenient than getting more kryptos to fritter away on more weird transactions? getting one right now.

this should be suspicious, and maybe it does ring a little like it, but choso has enough faith in his own ability to extricate himself from a bizarre situation if one arose. (despite failing to walk away from all the ones he's been part of already) ]

okay.

[ he really should give this more thought but the idea of having to ask yuji for money like some kinda sponge, well, that's just unthinkable. ]

when do i start?

private; 1/idek, this is so tl;dr I'm sorry.

[problemagus]

( Damn... he cannot believe that actually worked. )

Technically the shop doesn't open until the 15th, but I will require you to come in tomorrow for training. The work isn't particularly hard. For the most part, you'll be assisting me at the bar, restocking, cleanliness, and general upkeep.

As for your questions:
1. To start, I'm a mage, with a particular talent in mage assassinations. I was born with a bloodline ability that I refer to as `innate time control`, which allows me to bend time relative to my own body. It has many applications, but for the most part, I use it to act at high speeds.

Additionally, everyone in my world is born with something called an `origin`, believed to be something of a starting point that defines one's existence and directs one's actions. Mine is the `severing and binding` origin, using composite elements of fire and earth. The nuance is a little different than 'destruction and regeneration.' If you were to cut a thread and tie it, the change is irreversible. If I were to infect a magic user with something containing my origin, say: my hair, blood, or even my own bones crushed into powder, it would cause their magic circuits to rewire, and become unusable.

That said, I prefer to use other assassination techniques wherever I can help it. Mages can sense whenever another magic user is harnessing their abilities, so more conventional methods such as stabbing, poisoning, guns, or high explosives are always on the table.

2. I've lost track of my kill count, if that tells you anything.
3. Kiritsugu Emiya
4. The birth of my daughter, Illyasviel.

@ contender requested K5,000

[gimu]

[ it is so expensive living in the modern era. these men are so expensive. is K5,000 a lot, or... ]

2/2

[gimu]

tomorrow, ok. what time? [ he'll have to ask yuji for advice. what do job-havers do, really? ]

1. i understand. the basis of your origin is clear to me, and the usage of your essence is similar to my own methods. the nature of mages of your world and sorcerers of mine do not seem as different as expected.

2. excellent.
3. i am choso. may we work together well.
4. congratulations. may she thrive.
5. may i place this on hold until the next possible day of pay?1

[problemagus]

Sure, I'll take a raincheck.

( It might be good for him to open up about his trauma to non-Irisviel people tbh. )

You can find me in the Revelation wing, dorm #15. Meet me around 1PM tomorrow.

[gimu]

[ ah, another revelation member. it's like an egg-hunt. where's the agenda on this thing? he's got to make a to-do list at this rate: give man money, receive story.

damn it, but why these depressed guys gotta be so gripping. ]

understood.
you may ask whatever you wish.

[ as a treat. ]

[problemagus]

( He doesn't have any questions for him-- not yet, at least. Rather of being a matter of incuriosity, Kiritsugu has yet to examine the man in person yet, so. Nothing comes to mind. )

Let me keep that in my back pocket for now.
However, you are free to let me know how you're adjusting to this place.

[gimu]

not as terribly as i first thought. a shared common goal makes for an easier environment to take in and work with.

also i can have music in my head if i want now.
