Location: Hunter's Camp[DATE: March 2, 2521] [LOCATION: At the edge of the Hunters Camp -- Outside, of course] [CHARACTERS: Alexandria, Ebran, any other HUNTERS] [TIME: Noon (12:00)]
------ Alexandria sighed as she looked around. Hunters everywhere yet none of them had appeared interested in her mission. Maybe Uriah was right, she should have let him come instead. A 16 year old girl who was short enough to be 12 just wasn't...whats the word...to be taken serious? Guess that was more than one word, but still. Her hand dug around in her pocket and pulled out the small USB-like device she had carried out here with her that had contained the information about the mission she was attempting to find someone to do for her. She didn't think it was that hard or else she'd have had Uriah himself do the mission. Finally she sighed, putting the device back into her pocket and starting to head away from the camp. A look of defeat on her face. "Guess I'll have to have Uriah do it anyway..." she grumbled. He wasn't going to like that.

And Ebran was not very happy, though he should be expecting things like that by now. The site where he had gone to dig for stuff had not had much... just a single cracked and broken chip, small enough to fit into his pocket, that wouldn't be worth anything. There was probably no one skilled enough to even fix that silly little chip, anyways.
Maybe there were some other archaeological missions to take once he got back to the camp. Or something that didn't involve hunting Pseudoroids. He only had his Arrow Buster Pistol for protection, afterall, and he didn't feel like getting banged up or walking into trouble like that one time in Innerpeace.
As he headed back to camp, he saw a young girl walking away looking rather upset. Huh, he didn't recognize her... how did she get all the way out here? What was upsetting her?
"Hey, you okay? You look a bit down."

Alex was a bit surprised to hear the voice of Ebran. So surprised, in fact, she jumped. "H-Huh? Where you talking to me? she asked, shyly. Apparently all bit of self confidence went out the window at being approached like this while she was off guard.
Inside her mind Alexis couldn't help but sigh //Pull yourself together, you're acting like a total dweeb. That or some love struck girl. Either way it's embarrassing.//
Alexandria couldn't keep from blushing lightly as her darker half brought up the love struck comment. She hated it every time she brought that up. Luckily she rarely brought it up, unless Leon was the subject of discussion.
Eventually she came to her senses and shook her head. "I'm fine, don't worry about it." she said, looking up at Ebran as she spoke.

Sadly, Ebran was a bit oblivious to that. He straightened his hair a bit, and looked at the girl that was in front of him. Whoa, he must have been pretty quiet to have surprised her like that, ack.
"Yeah, I was talking to you." He smiled at her gently. At least she probably wasn't going to try to attack him, or sneer at him like those two fugitives that he had run into (which he had reported to Hunters' Camp - sadly, they'd probably run off somewhere).
"Are you sure about that? I mean..." He trailed off a bit. "Most people don't leave the Camp looking really upset."
Sorry, he still thought you were way too young for him. He was 20, after all and she looked 12. GDI, Ebran was not a pedo.
"Anything I could help with?"

"I guess..." she said, rubbing her arm sheepishly. "Maybe you could help me."
//Gee, sound convinced, why don't you?//
"I'm looking for something out of the ordinary...if you don't mind, that is."
//He's a hunter, Alex. He's most likely dealt with more weird things than this.//
"Hush, you." she hissed, letting out a small eep as she realized she said that out loud. "Not you, sorry."
"Uhm, anyway...I was wondering if you could help me find an old friend?"
//An old friend, really? What happened to that long winded speech about the man who killed your father that you wanted to get revenge on?//
I never said that. That was you.
//Oh yeah.//
"I have a file with all the information I have on him, including his last know location...just...I'm not really suited for traveling through forest on my own, you see."
//And you don't want to bother Uriah with this petty mission either, hm?//
He spent the whole of February looking for him and couldn't track him down. We only know his general location because of Model C.
//I suppose you're right.//
Alex nodded to herself as Alexis admitted defeat and withdrew. She fished around in her pocket and pulled out the data-drive and looked at it. There was a split second she debated crushing it and just giving up on Leon. Did she really want to find him again after all he put her through?
...unfortunately, she did.

Ebran tilted his head as she began to talk. 'Maybe you could help me'? He nodded a bit and looked at Alex. A little out of the ordinary and not normal, huh? Well, as long as it wouldn't get him killed, he probably wouldn't mind doing it at all.
"It's okay," he said. She wasn't the first person he'd heard telling someone he couldn't hear to shut up. Like those two kids that he had seen but never actually met. "So an old friend, huh?"
That made sense to him. A friend of hers was missing, and she was looking for him. Obviously she wasn't much of a traveler, just from judging from her clothes alone. It would make sense that she wanted someone to help him.
"Sure, I'll be glad to help. Is that the data that you have?" Alex, you're in love with Leon, aren't you?

She doesn't know, stfu xD
"Mhmmm. Everything that I have about him is on that... she paused, realizing that the way she said that could have come off creepy. "Uh...I'm not a stalker, I swear."
//What if he didn't think you were until you said that?//
...Thanks. Make me feel even more like an idiot.
//That's what I do.//
...
She sighed and looked down at her feet. She just wanted to know that Leon was alright and that he hadn't gotten himself into anything stupid...
Knowing him it was most likely to late for that, though.
"As for the matter of payment..."
//What, you're going to bring that up now?//
"if you name a price, I'll be more than glad to send the funds to you right now."

Suuuuuure~.
Ebran chuckled a bit as she swore that she wasn't a stalker. It was kind of funny, actually, that a girl would go to such lengths for someone, and actually kind of cute. Well, he wouldn't have thought she was a stalker until she had said it, but he wisely chose not to mention it to the girl. No need to have her even more embarrassed than she already was.
"Don't worry, I believe you." He placed his hands behind his back as she began to discuss payment. Oh right... payment. Hmm, what would be a good price for searching for someone? It didn't seem to be that hard, looking for another person, but at the same time, it would probably depend on whether he was successful or not. And how long it would take...
"Hmm... well, I would also need a way to contact you so that I can call you once I found him... and... 1000 EC or whatever the klack a fair price would be because RPer honestly isn't sure, with half now and half when I find him?"

Alexandria blinked. Only 1000? Maybe they got more job request then she thought they did...Maybe she should have done research on the group...more so than she had done. Ah well.
"Just 1000? that seems like so little..." her voice trailed off as she pulled out the device that was linked to her account. Surely he was just expecting her to not have much money which is why he only said 1000, even more that he offered to take half now and then later...he must think she'd need time to get the other half?
She keyed in the command and entered the amount and stared at it for a minute. 500 didn't even put the tiniest of dents into it. So she upped it to 1000. Her finger hoovered over the send button as she looked up at Ebran. She wondered what he was thinking as she stalled like she was.
//Keep stalling. Maybe he'll think you're really poor and do it for free.//
That's horrible!
//Well then send him the damned money already.// huffed her other half. Alexandria just sighed as she closed her eyes for a second before looking back at her device. 1000 was just not enough for the locating of Leon. So, after fiddling around with the thing again she pressed send and then looked up at Ebran and smiled. Any second now he'd get the notification that the amount had been sent to his account.
She hoped it wouldn't cause him to freak out. 50000 was a lot of EC for common folk. Though Xentech had no problems easily covering that and then some. She figured Kristine wouldn't mine. And if she did, she had sent it under the title of "Misc. Tasks" which she had Uriah do jobs around town for her. So questions shouldn't be asked on her end...

Yes, "only" 1000 EC, even if that was quite a bit of money to the Ruin Hunter. Either way, the girl seemed to think that it wasn't a lot, if her telling him it was 'only' 1000 and that it seemed so little was any indication. Ebran blinked a bit as she spoke.
"Really? That's a little above average..." Of course Ebran was normally a fair man. It was above average, searching for a man that he had no idea where he was meant that he could just take all the money now and run, while offering only half as an incentive with the promise of the other half if he completed the mission.
Either way, he blinked when she stared at her account device for a bit. What was she thinking about? After a little bit, she suddenly looked back up at him and smiled, as Ebran's own account device beeped that he had a transmission. He glanced over at it, to see if it was the 500 EC she gave him, but-
What the heck?! His eyes widened as he saw the 50,000 EC transaction from Xentech, and he stared at her. Who the heck was this girl?!
"That's... are you sure you didn't enter too many zeroes...?" Now he was definitely going to make sure that he found this Leon guy. "Not that I'm complaining, but you normally don't see people giving out 50,000 EC to others."

She couldn't help but giggle as she smiled at him. "No, you're right. People don't just go around throwing money left and right, but...you don't often run into a man like Leon either... her smile faded a bit as she looked down at her feet, shuffling them a little.
//Have I ever told you how weird it is that you're so interested in finding this man after all he's put us through?//
Every. Day.
//Good. Because it's true.//
"I'm sorry, was it to much?" she bit her lip as she looked back up at the hunger. Her mind was a bit of a mess right now with all she was going through with work, Uriah and the inability to find Leon.

Ebran rubbed the back of his neck as she giggled and smiled at him. Well, she was cute, but she was probably underage and taken if he was correct in his suspicions about this Leon person. Ah well. She seemed a little embarrassed at his reaction to the money, and he shook his head as she asked whether that was too much.
"Normally it takes me three months to earn about that much, but I don't mind."
No, he didn't mind at all, and he needed to find this Leon person once he got a really good look at the data. Speaking of finding Leon...
"So just a few things left. Do you want me to say anything to him for you once I find him? And how should I contact you once I do?" He did have a sneaking suspicion that he was going to be calling Xentech, but he needed to know who to contact affiliated with that company.
Or we can just have it so that he finds out Leon's part of the tournament and tells that to Alex.

eitherorworks"Oh, uh, right, when you find him..." she paused in thought. It wasn't like her to not think this far out in advance. Ebran had apparently derailed her thoughts a bit somewhere during this conversation. "You could just tell him that Alexandria sent you and that she wishes to meet with him since it's been so long. Here, you can even given him my card." she'll reach into her handbag and produce a small business card: Alexandria Xen Computer Specialist and Head Programmer of Xentech A phone number and Email were also included but Zach is to lazy to make them up. "You can reach me with the same number that's on my card as well, if you'd like."

Sounds legit. Wanna RP Ebran and Leon meeting each other or just assume that Ebran found out he was gonna be in the tourney?
Good thing that Ebran did think that far, then. With the number of jobs he'd taken, he wasn't surprised when some of his clients forgot some stuff.
"Alexandria, then? Okay, I'll tell him that." He accepted the card as she handed it over to him, taking a glance at it. Alexandria Xen, Computer Specialist and Head Programmer of Xentech, huh? His eyes widened briefly, before he smiled and nodded.
"Alright. If you want to reach me again, here's my number." He wrote it down on a piece of paper and handed it over to her because Shree too is too lazy to make it up. "I'll call you once I've found him."
