Karkat | Financial/Services Zone Leader [open]

[dungenessmaster]

[At least one of the zone leaders dropped in to check out the newbies and troll Naruto get things organized with his new favorite deputies. he skipped most of the tour and met them back at the office after it was over, since it wasn't really for him.

he skims the crowd, looking for new faces. he already met Hanabi, and he knows the rest of his group to some extent, but he has yet to run into Sakura.

but that shouldn't stop anyone who'd like to poke him!]

((OOC: Prose or action is fine by me, so switch styles if you'd prefer!))

[ Sakura's seated off to the side in a chair, one leg crossed over the other, elbow on knee, chin in hand. Meetings for the Watch are a lot like briefings at home, which means she's far too used to the lull that they can bring along.

So don't mind her as she watches the crowd of people. She should probably find Sasuke and Naruto, drag them off for food or something similar, but that can happen in a little bit. For the time being, she's actually happy being settled where she is instead. Because since it's vaguely reminiscent of home, it feels just a touch more comforting to be in the room with everyone. ]

[dungenessmaster]

[Karkat glances at her uncertainly. He's seen her on the network, and he's PRETTY sure she's the same one who just got put in his crew, but he guesses he'll just have to approach.]

Sakura, right.

[adamants]

[ She looks up from the people she had been watching when she hears her name, not having expected it at all. But once she does, she tilts her head to the side -- by all appearances, he reminds her a lot of how Feferi and Aradia look. ]

That's me!

[dungenessmaster]

[same species, waaay different personality. he makes no move to shake her hand or anything, just nods.]

Karkat Vantas, one of your zone leaders. Selendis is the other one, but hell if I know where she is. Probably jumping rooftops and trolling white-haired prettyboys as usual. She's hard to miss anyway, she's like nine feet tall and blue.

[adamants]

[ Well.

Okay.

She wasn't really expecting any of what was just directed at her, but! Hey, she's started to learn how to take things in stride when it comes to bizarre things in this place. So she just folds her arms in her lap, smiles up at him. ]

It's nice to meet you, Karkat. I would introduce myself, but that's not really necessary, right? [ A pause. ] Um- Do you know Aradia and Feferi, by chance?

[dungenessmaster]

[Karkat's one of the less weird things in this place, sad to say.]

Yeah, they're sort of friends of mine. I lead them. [another frown] Jeez, did Feferi talk to everyone in the city? Seems like everybody knows her all of a sudden!

[adamants]

[ That wouldn't surprise her at all. ]

I'm not sure about everyone. I just met them both when Feferi was talking about patron trolls! Aradia is mine, from what they told me about it.

[dungenessmaster]

Oh. Oh that stupid zodiac... game. I still can't even believe that's a thing we do, but the others insist on posting those after new people come in, so what can you even do. And Aradia's not the worst you could get, so there's that.

sob so so so late I am so sorry.

[adamants]

She seems very nice! So did Feferi. [ She tilts her head, curious. ] Can I ask what sign you are the, um, patron of? [ Not that it will make a lick of sense to her, but she's actually really curious about it all. ]

No worries! I'm chronically late and cool with backtags. :D

[dungenessmaster]

[Karkat makes a face at that. nice trolls. bluh. such a pain in the ass. at her question, he plucks a bit at the insignia on his shirt.]

For some reason, my sign gets called Cancer most of the time.

[iwantmythief]

Their last meeting didn't seem to have been enough to put off Sexy, but at least she wasn't practically bouncing this time. "Hello again! I didn't realize that you were in the watch! Did we ever exchange names? I don't think we did, I'm Sexy. I'm the new clerk." Ranting, on the other hand, was something she still hadn't managed to keep in check.

/is the worst ever at being on hiatus

[dungenessmaster]

"Wait, Sexy's your name? I just thought you had a really high -- and grossly inaccurate -- opinion of yourself."

Pleasantries aside, he nods. "So we'll be seeing a lot of each other, probably. It's Karkat. Karkat Vantas."

<3

[iwantmythief]

"Pleasure to meet you, Karkat! I suppose we will be. I'm doing my best to remember everyone's names. Are you one of the patrol-men?" She seemed to settle as she stood there, like a cloud of dust. Her speech was still quick, but didn't have quite as much force behind it, evidence of her efforts to hold back a bit. She remembered how she had bothered him the first time they met.

[dungenessmaster]

"Zone Leader, actually." He was quick to correct her. It might not mean much in the grand scheme of things, but leading people was in his blood, and he'd be miserable if he weren't busy. "Financial/Services, night shift. Tough job, I guess, but somebody has to keep these bulgebiting thieves and jackasses from starting a riot."

He watches her as she moves with a little curiosity this time. He'd been quick to brush her off before, but something about her mannerisms is off. Nearly human, but not quite.

[iwantmythief]

"Oh! Congratulations on the position. You must be quite skilled, then! I'm the afternoon shift, but it seems like I will still be having interactions with even the morning and evening shifts!" She let her mannerisms flow a bit more naturally than a normal human might, and even then it was more forward. Every sentence also held a tinge of curiosity, as if she'd like to go further into every word and see all it's reasons for being what it was.

She also didn't seem to know exactly what to do with her hands as she stood. While the movement wasn't quick, or out of nervousness, her hands would move slightly, as if guiding her words. And it wasn't just her hands, but her arms, and even the rest of her body, almost as if a gentle breeze was swaying her. "I hope that eventually I will be able to join the patrol I feel like I had already spent enough time sitting. I stole myself a time lord in order to go on an adventure, not to really sit behind a desk, but at least paper-work is still work that helps that I can do while I train."
