[Text and Anon]

Well now, with the First Forged gone that means we're on our own. I'm not one to sit around doing nothing, so I think it's time to offer my services for the good of Haven and the refugees who live here.

And for me to do that I need a contact or two who are willing to work with me and blab about who I really am. Anyone who is interested feel free to reply.

((OOC note: Since Cinderella is not as tech savy as any of the bots or individuals from more advance universes, so her trace blocker is hackable for anyone who would care to hack it. She realizes this, and is moving around in a more populated part of Haven, turning her Device off every now then to make it a bit more difficult, but not impossible.))

What kind of services do you have in mind?

To put it bluntly, I'm an off the books spy. Most of the time if find and take care of any traitors or would-be traitors back home.

I see.

Do you have ideas on how such skills might translate for use here?

How long have you been here? If you don't mind me asking.

Like I said, I usually deal with the inside threats. Especially the inside threats that make deals with the outside threats. I'm also good at gathering intel, which comes in handy in a lot of cases.

As for how long I've been here, I rather not say since it could give you a hint to my identity.

Understandable. Mostly I wanted an idea of how much of a grasp you have on the situation and people here, and how things work. ["Or how broken they are, as the case may be" –he doesn't type that part…]

As few of us as there are here, and with only one "outside threat" that I'm aware of, I don't know that there's much to be handled as directly as you're probably accustomed to. However, intelligence agents can always be useful, I'd think.

Would you be willing to meet with me in person?

New people come here often enough, and who knows if there is going to be someone who wants to go to the dark side. It's better to have some kind of safety net if something like that ever happens.

I am. I'm already meeting with someone else, but it would be good to have two people in the know. Especially if they are part of the Police Force.

I see. Let me know where and when you'd like to meet, then.

[Insert coordinates and time different from those she gave Blurr and Shepard here.]

Meet me there if you are still interested.

All right. I'll meet you then.

[Deckard will only find Cinderella at the crater coordinates that were given to him. She'll be sitting on a large rock waiting for him.]

[Deckard arrives . . . looks around . . . there's only Cinderella.

...

Okay, he's not terribly familiar with European folklore, but he's pretty sure he doesn't remember any stories including espionage. ~~Disney missed something in the translation, apparently??~~ Well...either she's here by coincidence...or she's not. And if not? Who's he to judge?]

...here to meet someone?

[Yyyyyeah, James Bond, he is not. This is him /attempting/ to not jump to conclusions or be /too/ obvious and just outright ask.]

[Cindy has a long list of things that Disney missed if he ever asks. But to be fair, the spy thing didn't happen until after the 'happily-ever-after.'

[That confused look of his is very amusing, and she can't help but grin.]

I am and he's right on time.

[Good thing Cindy will be the one doing the spying and not him.]

[That gets a responding grin as he relaxes a little. At least he doesn't have to dance around things trying to figure them out more subtly. He's very good at what he does –finding evidence, talking to witnesses, stopping the criminals, protecting the populace –and…not that great at what he "doesn't". At least he'd the first to admit it, that's something.]

Thank you for being willing to meet with me, Cinderella. Will you explain to me some of your training and your skillset?

[There's a LOT more he'd /like/ to ask –how did she learn, /why/ did she go into such a profession, what /happened/ to her "story" –but . . . they're not pertinent to the present conversation, so he'll leave that side of things be, at least for now.]

[She stands up and stretches some.]

I've been trained in all form of combat, both armed and unarmed, and I'm a pretty good actor so people don't suspect me. My best training is my experience, though. See, as a Fable I'm semi-immortal, so while most spies only have one life-time of a few decades to perfect their craft, I've had several. I've been at this for over two hundred years.

[Of course that's really just the tip of the iceberg for her spy background. Girl's got to keep some secrets after all.]

I see. [Wow...] What about your espionage skills? And . . . if you don't mind my asking . . . a "Fable"? Are you an embodiment of something, or . . . a spirit of some kind?

[She might be surprised at how open-minded he is. Then again, he's fought sorcerers and psions before, and he's from Japan, which is steeped in mythology, folklore, and belief in a plethora of deities and nature spirits.]

Not a spirit. Right down to the genetic level, I'm human, but I'm not from "Earth." For whatever reason, the people of earth know the history of my home world and other worlds as fictional stories, and somehow that is connected with how long Fables live.

As for my espionage skills, lets put it this way. I make James Bond look like an amateur. I can deceive, and with the right equipment, I can get any job done.

…interesting. [He just nods –he'd like to ask her more, but that's for another time, he figures.] What kind of equipment are you accustomed to working with?

Your services, mysterious anon?

I'm an off the books spy. I help deal with internal and external threats that the general population has little to no knowledge about.

That's really interesting but how do I know this is not someone pulling a joke to get a laugh out of us?

You don't, unless you're serious about my offer and then we can arrange to meet in person. It's a risk we have to take. The worse that could happen is that you get a chuckle out of it.

I locked the conversation, what do you think? I'm willing to give this a try.

But the worse that could happen is that you are some sort of psychopath and I end killed.

[SG Ratchet is still running free after all. Blurr trusts his abilities and hopes that if it's Ratchet he will be able to control the situation. More or less.] Just tell me a place and a time and I'll be there.

You could have also just wanted to hide your curiosity when you replied to this.

Okay then. How about here in about three hours? [And here are some coordinates to a vacant crater in Vector's quadrant that's pretty secluded.]

I hardly do that. [It's pretty obvious to anybody who knows him a little that he's a curious mech.

It's not far away from his temple and Blurr is relieved. Since he became an initiate he felts uneasy when he has to spend a long time away from it.]

Perfect. I will see you there.

[ooc: action? :3]

See you then.

[That, and it's not that far from the Hub so she can walk there and not bug someone for a ride.

[Blurr will find her sitting on a rock, and from the looks of it, she is the only one there.]

[He tried to come early to their meeting and was surprised to find someone already there. It could be a coincidence.]

Him, Cindy, good day. Waiting for someone?

[She looks up and smiles at him. For now she'll mess with him a little.]

You could say that. I have a hot date lined up.

What about you?

[You, minx.]

Oh? Did those valentine cards really work for you?

My temple is near, I was just going for a walk.

[Of course she is~]

Nah, I don't need a card to set up a date.

[Okay, enough playing. Her voice drops to a more serious tone.]

You're fifteen minutes early, by the way.

[Blurr's optics narrow very slightly and he smirks.] So are you. Did you really walk all the way here?

Well, I couldn't exactly ask someone for a ride, now could I? Why did you think I gave a three hour time period? I had to make sure I gave myself enough time to get here without anyone noticing.

[She stands up and stretches some.]

So, shall we get down to business?

Smart. [He's not being condescending, he actually means it. Blur nods and approaches her more.]

Do you want to do it here or do you want to go for a ride as we talk? Less chances of being heard.

A ride will work, as long as you drop me off somewhere near here. I have other appointments to keep.

That I can do. [Those appointments, though...it makes him wonder who else she's meeting.]

Might I ask what's you specialization? How do you used to operate back in your world?

[He'll find out if she thinks it's necessary to know.]

I do a little bit of everything as far as spy work goes, but I've do a lot of information gathering and finding traitors or possible traitors. I've also done the occasional rescue. My purpose was to protect my communities interests and handle the dirty work from the shadows.

[Oh well then.]

Sounds pretty much like what I used to do back home. are you good at hacking or...?

[She gives a slight sigh at that.]

Unfortunately my hacking skills are lacking, especially when compared to what Cybertronians can do. Most of my targets don't bother with computers for the reason that they can be hacked, so I never had much of a reason to expand on those skills. That will have to change of course.

I could teach you those, I'm pretty good at it. [Good enough to hack encrypted decepticon communications.]

You being an organic means that nobody can hack your brain and that's a clear advantage. I could sure use your skills if you really want to work with me.

Good thing I'm a fast learner.

And as long as none of the magic users from my universe show up here, that will still be an advantage. [Some of those mind reading spells can be pretty nasty after all]

I never doubted that. [He turns into car mode and opens one of the doors. As he said, let's discuss the serious matters while they take a ride.]

As far as I know, Sora is the only magic user adn he's a good boy. I don't think he would hurt anybody.

Services meaning what?

Hopefully not something god-like.

[ Because---you know, she'd brought up the Firstforged? It made sense in Shepard's head. ]

God-like? Hardly.

I'm a spy whose skilled at retrieving information, as well as finding and taking care of traitors/possible traitors. I have also done the occasional rescue.

Without the Firstforged around to watch our backs we need to make good with what resources we have, and I have a skill set that can be useful.

That does sound useful, particularly rescues and the like.

To be frank, I think that may be something we need with or without the big guys; they have a ton on their plates already.

Yeah, sure. I'll meet up with you. Who knows, I may have something to offer in return.

I figured as much, which is why I'm speaking out now.

I've already made two contacts, but if you might have something to offer that could help out, then having you as a contact couldn't hurt.

[insert coordinates to a crater, different from the one she's meeting Blurr at, and a time.]

Meet me there.

I'm listening.

What do you have to offer...and, more importantly, what do you expect in return?

Simply put, I'm a spy. I deal with information retrieval, finding and dealing with traitors/possible traitors, and I have done the occasional rescue mission. It's a skill set that could be useful around here, and I'm not one who wishes to waste my talents.

As for what I expect in return, well it can't be much. This please doesn't have a currency system, and no place to spend it. Basically, I'm only offering because if I help here, it may help keep the bad stuff from overflowing into my home universe.
