Who: Soldier: 76 (personalwar) & YOU
What: 76 joins the Knightryders, investigates people working with Cree, and breaks up some fights.
When: January
Where: Wyver
Warning(s): Some violence, will edit to add anything else!
01. joining knightryders
It's about time that 76 gets a permanent job here in Wyver. He's put it off for as long as possible, preferring the free-form quests that he's been able to pick up from various citizens, and more recently through Aranea. It's not going to be enough to pay the bills, so to speak, and so he's had to look for something more consistent. After joining Olympia's guard and having that backfire on him, he isn't entirely sure that he wants to throw his lot in with the Knightryders. But he does his homework, hanging around the headquarters that are relatively close to the apartment he and Ana occupy.
What he learns is that the Ryders are somewhat less choosy with who they let join their ranks, although they've found their own way to weed out any members who aren't worth their salt: primarily, through fights at Falmi's Ring. Anyone who chickens out from the duty is promptly relieved of their station, and while it all seems a bit barbaric, 76 finds that he doesn't mind. He'll go toe-to-toe with someone, if they eventually ask that of him.
Again, he always has the option to leave the Order if he decides he isn't interested, so he decides to go ahead and join up. He can be found at the Order headquarters in the old capital, standing around in their reception area to do any necessary paperwork and get outfitted with his new uniform, which is actually just a special headpiece rather than a full outfit. A passerby might see him there, or hanging around in the general area once he's done.
02. gilded cage recon
76 has seen the job postings popping up in the less reputable parts of the city, with the Gilded Cage's signature all over them. They're scarce on the details and he doesn't follow the instructions to learn more, as he has no interest in working for Cree. Given the part he played in exposing so many innocents to that virus, whatever his reasons for doing so might have been, 76 wants nothing to do with him.
What he does want is to know what he's up to, and why he would need to outsource any of his work like this. 76 figures that at least a few of the refugees will end up taking the work, if only because they need the money, and they'll serve as good sources for him.
So he parks himself outside of the Gilded Cage's current location, waiting for someone to pass by who looks like they're trying to be casual. That's the giveaway.
Once he's spotted someone who fits the right criteria, he nods to them and motions them over. "Wanted to ask you something."
03. breaking up fights
The air in Wyver is buzzing with restlessness and bloodlust. Most of the citizens want to attack Olympia sooner rather than later, and while 76 had realized that there was tension between the two nations, he hadn't realized it was on this level. He can't say he has any interest in fighting a war he has no stake in, so he's been staying out of the conversations, instead listening from afar.
In one instance an argument turns from a heated debate into an actual fistfight, right in the middle of the markets. Normally 76 wouldn't have bothered to get involved (again, this isn't his fight), but he's currently on Ryder patrol, and that means he has some sort of obligation to keep the peace. Besides, breaking up a fight isn't exactly a difficult task for someone like him.
He receives more resistance than expected, though. When he heads over to grab one of the aggressors from behind, the man elbows him in the face, dislodging his visor slightly. The pain isn't bad and his face is still mainly covered, but that alone forces his hand, and he shoves the offender down to the ground, making him eat dirt for his lack of cooperation.
"Who asked you to get involved?" asks the other man, who's sporting a swollen lip after taking a few punches to the face. Apparently he doesn't appreciate that the brawl has been interrupted.
