Good Things Come in Fours
The day begins with a commotion around the gates of Union. The Guards, who otherwise have been left with little else to do but to clear the paths leading in and outside of the city’s walls of snow and ice, gather en masse as a small party of strangely dressed individuals congregate there. Standing at the head of the crowd is a young woman, her two-toned hair and odd clothing a stark contrast from the norm around Union, holds herself confidently, a jovial smile on her face.
“Like I said,” She began, her voice surprisingly peppy, bouncing slightly on her heels, “We want to speak with your leader. It’s very important, and we've come such a long way.”
It’s an unusual scene to say the least, and as people pass by, they may catch the young woman’s eye, getting a pleasant smile and a chipper wave before she redirects her attention to whoever she happens to be talking to. Passers-by are urged to keep moving, nothing to see here, and after a very long, very circuitous series of conversations, the newcomers are given a personal escort.
The rest of the day passes without incident, until the evening, when all Warp Bands come to life. Standing in the frame is a young woman, no older than 18 or 19, her black-and-white hair tied up to one side with looks to be a crystal of pure ice. She smiles, practically beaming, leaning in toward her audience.
“Hello, people of Union! My new friend tells me that all of you should be able to hear and see me. What a convenient thing, haha. In any case, my name is Sveta, and I come representing a group of individuals calling themselves the Elite Four. I must say, actually seeing this city, I’m impressed! The stories don’t do this place justice. I hope to be able to meet more of the Gods’ chosen for myself while I’m visiting!”
Humming a bit to herself, she sits down, crossing her legs. “We believe that fate has brought us together. We heard that there were other civilizations out there, but never did we imagine that there would be people with the same aspirations as us! But I should explain. You see, the Elite Four, seek to understand our past, and be able to atone for the wrongdoings that our ancestors have committed. So you can imagine how excited we were when we heard about Union. I had to rush over.
“I promise that we won’t take up too much of your time or space, but I want to get to know you, the people of Union, better! I believe that we can all come together and create a better world. Your council has been kind enough to give us temporary lodging here within the city. I hope that we will be able to get along! Okay, how do I turn this of--”
And with that, the impromptu feed ends, the cheery young woman’s face fading away before another quick message takes over the airwaves. But worry not, citizens of Union. Over the next few days, the young woman from a strange new land will be wandering the streets of your city, observing, talking to others, and generally doing her best to not make a nuisance of herself. It’s hard to say how successful she’ll be at that last part.

OTA
[There's another broadcast shortly after Sveta, as another woman appears on the Warp Bands, looking playful as ever.]
Hey there, Union! I'm Alina, and exploring your city has been way more fun than I thought it was going to be! You've done really well for yourselves. I still can't believe that this place houses so many of the Gods' chosen...but that doesn't matter! We'll still be friends.
Come find me if you don't want to call me! I'm easy to find.
[She'll be wandering in any part of Union, seeing the sights and asking questions.]
Action--after the feed ends
[ So there. Nyeh. ]
Still, the people here don't seem all that different. I wonder what sets really them apart.
no subject
[She replies, sounding more bored than anything.]
Maybe we could of found out what makes them so special if you let us take turns talking. I bet I could of gotten them to really show us their stuff.
Action!
It's on the return from one of these errands that a chance encounter occurs, though the woman's attention isn't focused on the people around her at the time. A young bulbasaur keeps nudging against her legs, growling at every person on the street who veers a little too close for his liking. ]
Elhaz, we've walked this route before. [her tone is gently chiding] You do not need to stay so close. We're safe in the city.
[ The honedge at their back is no help whatsoever - he's finding this all too amusing in his own dour fashion. Besides, why should he discourage this behaviour? A second bodyguard will help ensure Sophia stays safe, after all. ]
no subject
Ohhh, look at him, he's being all protective of you. I'd expect that from a Houndour than a Bulbasaur though, personally.
no subject
Easy, easy.. [a hushful tone, even as Ymir glides forward to be level with Sophia's shoulder. All the better to view Alina with..] Y-yes, I am told he's exceptionally protective. Especially for a bond as new as ours. I have only known him a few weeks.
[she smiles up at the younger woman, though it is briefly uncertain] ..I do beg your pardon, but have you been on the warpband recently?
no subject
Yep! I couldn't let old Stuffy Sveta hog you guys all to herself. [Her attention briefly goes back to the Bulbasaur.]
Aren't you so cuuuuuuute~! [She's cooing at Elhaz now.]
no subject
Ah.. Then, it's Alina, isn't it? It's very nice to meet you. [lips purse a moment, trying not to smile] 'Stuffy'?
no subject
Sveta's no fun. You have to press her buttons just right to get anything out of her.
no subject
I am Sophia. You must know each other well, to know that about her. Are you family, or simply workmates?
sorry for making you wait, this week has been horrible
[Happily taking Sophia's hand, Alina shakes it with a bright smile.]
Definitely my sister. You should ask her about it if you see her, and tell her I told you some really embarrassing stories about her.
[Despite the fact that she is absolutely lying.]
its fine, RL comes first :)
<3
[She whines, stretching her arms, as if she hadn't in quite a while.]
no subject
no subject
[She winks, proud of herself.]
no subject
[her smile widens slightly at the wink; Ymir sees no reason to be impressed, but is at least stoic enough not to say so. Elhaz merely grumbles at her feet rather than growl - a definite sulk.]
What sort of duties do you usually have, if you don't mind me asking?
no subject
[That's a full on whine.]
It really sucks! That's why I was so excited to come here. C'mon, you know where all the good stuff is at, where in Union can I go to see a little excitement?
no subject
[she looks thoughtful a moment] I suppose that depends on what you're interested in. Or what you're not. What are you not interested in?

[She's definitely finding everything around town okay.]

no subject
I wouldn't mind being shown around a bit.
no subject
Well, then. I've got some time. [He offered an arm.
Behind him, the Houndoom following him just snorted.]
no subject
I heard you have some really exciting places around here, but I'm looking for somewhere where I can have the most fun. Got any ideas?
[She winks.]
no subject
[Yeah. He just said that.]
