17th Oath of Moment:: A blooding

[lunawolves10th]

1 [ (Locked to Saber and Mordred) A man in a strange white bodyglove walks up to 460 stone street, carrying several blades of various sizes, and knocks on the door. Garviel's here to be a secondary teacher for Mordred. ]

2 [ Phones, filtered to the resistance and associated organizations. ] Loken here. I wanted to check in after the recent

[Hiling walks up to the edge of the lake, side-eyeing that big guy over there. Tossing a rock in, it makes a satisfying splash.]

Hm, it's probably too cold to go swimming.

[lunawolves10th]

I had not thought to swim. [ he looks at the tiny girl. ]

I do not believe we have met before, mamzel?

[prideinbattle]

No. And you are?

[She's wondering what he is just as much as who.]

[lunawolves10th]

I am Garviel Loken. [ He is somewhat phlegmatic, for the moment. Quiet, even. ]

[prideinbattle]

Hiling Care. [She picks up another rock and tosses it in the air before throwing it in the lake.]

You're... not human, are you.

[lunawolves10th]

I am... a human, but genehanced and augmetically altered to become the instrument of the Emperor's will, and to bring the light of rationality and reason into a darkened galaxy.

[prideinbattle]

Is that so? Then we have something in common. [Did he say space? Now she is interested.]

[lunawolves10th]

You do not look like any Astartes that I am aware of.

[prideinbattle]

I have no idea what that means. But I was genetically engineered. Just not in the way you are, obviously.

[lunawolves10th]

So you are more like a Custodes than an Astartes, then.

[prideinbattle]

Really? Well, we're called Innovators.

[lunawolves10th]

And what purpose do the Innovators serve?

[prideinbattle]

We keep order and protect the citizens of Earth from anti-government forces, basically.

[lunawolves10th]

A worthy position. How long have you been doing it?

[prideinbattle]

Officially, only about a year. But a lot's happened in that time.

[lunawolves10th]

I have been an Astartes for over a century.

Define a "lot".
