Intro / OTA!

[cant-readmy.livejournal.com]

So this was it. The Deck. The place she'd spent three years hunting down. The last known whereabouts of her parents. The place she was meant to call home.

She hadn't quite made up her mind about it yet. Only been there a few days, after all. So she'd taken the opportunity to explore the place, starting first with the Spades' castle and branching eventually towards The Town. She kept mostly to herself, prodding around at this and that, soaking in as much as she can without actually forcing herself to speak to anyone. Yet.

[ooc: Spades are welcome to find her on Castle grounds, otherwise, she'll be in The Town!]

Her head perks up curiously at that. Getting out of doing demeaning household chores? Yes, please.

"More useful skills than polishing? Absolutely. I'm listening."

"That's where you come in," Urania says and taps a file on her palm before tipping her head towards the hall where her office is. "What can you do?"

[cant-readmy.livejournal.com]

Well, color her curious. Serena obliges and follows Urania's lead.

"What do you have in mind? Shooting, riding, martial arts...?"

[starscrownher.livejournal.com]

"Shooting isn't really allowed." Something she had more than once thought of as unfortunate, because sometimes you just want to shoot someone and be done with it. "Are you a very good rider, then?" It wasn't quite what she had in mind, but it was a start.

"Pity," she murmured, her eyes scanning the hall as they made their way through it. She'd been forced to leave her guns when entering the Deck, and she did miss them terribly. Safety blanket that they were.

"Motorcycles, yes" she replied, her hands slipping into the pockets of her leather jacket.

[starscrownher.livejournal.com]

Mm." Urania slides behind her desk and leans her elbow on it. "Is there any particular reason you'd...need to be careful, going Outside again?"

[cant-readmy.livejournal.com]

She frowns at the question.

"I... don't understand your meaning."

[starscrownher.livejournal.com]

"A lot of people come here," Urania says after a moment, "because they can't go anywhere else...safely. Because they're running." She shrugs.

"Are you running?"

[cant-readmy.livejournal.com]

She smirks a bit at that.

"Not at the moment."

[starscrownher.livejournal.com]

"Then perhaps you'd like to be a courier." Urania shrugs a shoulder and smirks a little. "Once Chives has deemed you fit to leave the kitchens."

[cant-readmy.livejournal.com]

"He has to deem me fit?" she frowns, her nose wrinkling ever so slightly.

"In all honesty, I'd like to start a challenge as soon as possible. I don't plan on getting comfortable with a lower rank."

[starscrownher.livejournal.com]

"That's between you and the king and queen," Urania says with a shrug. "You can probably challenge a Three or a Four soon enough, but in the meantime."

She fixes the other woman with a cool stare. "In the meantime, until you've proven yourself...diligent, you start in the kitchens."

[cant-readmy.livejournal.com]

She watches Urania thoughtfully a moment. Calculating. And then there's a faint smile.

"Suppose that's fair enough."

[starscrownher.livejournal.com]

"We try to be." Though it was a relatively harsh kind of fair, but it's not like they were Hearts over here. "I'll speak to Chives about the plan."

[cant-readmy.livejournal.com]

She prefers the harshness to any sort of fake bubble. It's appreciated.

"Thank you," she nods, bowing her head a bit. "I look forward to it."
