Eleanor Lamb

Hello you've reached Eleanor Lamb's voicemail. I'd explain what's next but I can't imagine you don't know what to do at the beep.

[Yukiko definitely smiled, calling up a little ball of fire, rolling it across her palm like it was nothing. It didn't hurt, really. It felt nice even, if she were honest.]

I know you do, Eleanor. That's why I'm telling you all this. That...thing attacked me here, I didn't go looking for it. The dragonfly too. I'm not cruising around looking for trouble. Just mysteries, and lost dogs.

[The club hadn't really had much going on but NPC activity after all.]

Promise, you're in the top 5 people I want with me if there's something really dangerous. Right after the army, the police, the FBI, and the air force.

Hmmm.

[Eleanor seemed to think all this over, very seriously, considering Yukiko's face. Finalyl she sucked in a breath and sat up straighter, letting it out slowly before she spoke.]

I should really be above the air force, I think.

[A slow, somewhat silly grin spread on her face.]

I don't know...they have airplanes with machine guns. But you're higher than the Navy.

[And she doesn't want to put you in danger. That's non-negotiable. The air force at least gets paid for that.]

might be time to consider that all of this is stupid nonsense but that's admitting Jim wins, and I don't hate myself enough for that just yet color blindness, huh. could be the same way that we see things for what they are but other people don't. maybe it's more psychological alteration than actually stripping the color? like mental conditioning or something is it me, or does the logo seem brighter than usual?

I am completely better than an airplane with a machine gun. I can throw rocks.

[She tossed her rock to demonstrate. And then she snickers.]

Being better than the navy isn't exactly hard, Yukiko.

I hadn't really thought about it but
Maybe a little bit?
It might just be our eyes are so used to not seeing blue now that when we see it, it stands out
like people who get stuck underground for a while when they're first outside again everything is supposed to be really vivid
I think

I forget where I read that

You can throw rocks. But...you know you keep making arguements and I might change my mind. The navy does have airplanes with machine guns too.

[She gestures out towards the water.]

And they totally have battleships out there somewhere that could shell the beach. If it's a fight on the beach.

solid theory. also makes you wonder more about the outside world and if blue's gone everywhere kind of like how horses no longer exist in the whole world it's just one of the things I've been thinking about but you probably already have enough...you're graduating too, aren't you?

Well if you're going to insist on involving logic in all this...

[Eleanor sighed deeply, as if she were so put upon.]

I can't imagine this would be any easier to do locally than on a world-wide scale.

Yeah.
In a couple days.

why not? if it's a smaller area you have more control over your field. you'd think that actually would make it easier to monitor at least
congratulations then. what's next after that?

Well, they are only keeping track of a small area of...I suppose we're 'test subjects.'

But I think it would be harder to remove all the color from one small section of the sky, rather than the whole sky, as an example.
You'd have...bleed in, I think.

Uhm
Oh my internship starts in two weeks.
Then college in the fall

the betas to whatever alphas fucked up the first time, I'm guessing you mean like blue would creep in around the edges? I didn't think of it that way but that's a good point, too. removing everything from the sky seems impossible is all, but then again these are the same guys who somehow eliminated a whole species I don't really know what to think anymore but that's awesome. internship's the same place you were worried about in the first place?

Pretty much.
It's hard to gauge what they can do because they do amazing things but so badly?

Thanks.
Miss Sato isn't on retrospec anymore but she's still really nice so.
Still got my internship.

this is a serious survey that i'm running!
would you please answer YES or NO to the following question

Q: PROMPTO ARGENTUM IS KIDNAP MATERIAL

thank you for your time!

For what purpose am I kidnapping him?
That seems really important to the question.

just in general!
and it doesn't have to be /you/ specifically
picture sociopath wanting to kidnap a person
prompto stands among a crowd
is he prime target or nah
