W1 Medbay -- after CYOA

[Well damn, this kid got pretty injured. That's too bad.

November could afford to seem more sympathetic, all things considered, but he's here. That he's here shows at least some concern. He doesn't really consider Vin a friend or anything even close to that, but he does have some interest in Vin in general.

Hey, you conscious?]

[Ah, she is conscious. Excellent.

Upon being told that, November shrugs]


Is it really so strange? Checking on you all is the least I should do. There have been a lot of injuries today.

[And as much as he hates to say it, a lot of these injuries are to people he gets along with, so he has to check, yup]

[Hmmmmm]

Is this the first time you have been this injured, Vin? Just asking.

[It's a question he has asked others too, admittedly]

You're quite calm, for someone in this situation for the first time.

[Perhaps he underestimates a little how well some people can take this situation. Pretty much everyone he knows who would shrug this off without much worry or fear are Contractors or Dolls, and as far as he knows, Vin doesn't have powers or a past that could lead to such acceptance of the circumstances.

Perhaps...normal people are a tad sturdier than he thought]

[I'm such an idiot, Eli. Sorry for that one, I must have misread. Let's pretend this didn't happen]

Good. [Saying 'good' when it's about you getting injured to such extent sounds a tad insensitive, really, but it's better for this to not have been the first time it happens. Getting used to this sort of situations sucks but it's better that way, in his opinion]

What sort of past do you have that this isn't the first time something like this happened to you, though?

Probably not. [He shrugs] But it feels like the majority of us hae some experience with this sort of situation. I can't help but wonder the sort of life we all have -- to try and find similarities.

[To find a common point that could have brought them all here to the Prism]

I did. I'm sorry to inform that was a complete lie.

[He shrugs]

I had to keep up pretenses and come up with a lie to avoid giving away too much about myself. Once those profiles were released that stopped being important.

Exactly! You understand.

[November is just glad his status as a Contractor and his powers stayed secret. True, he doesn't have the powers anymore and therefore he's not a Contractor anymore, but still!]

The breach of privacy was rather inconvenient, but perhaps it's better this way. It has allowed me to find some people with...similar experiences to mine.

[Like Hot Pants! She and her Stands are such an interesting thing to him]

Fighting, leading a team, facing the worst the world offers and not flinching at all...

[Having powers, fighting with powers, dying, getting horrible deadly injuries...there are peers here]

I wouldn't say it is. I was just doing my job.

[A little bit of false modesty, hah. November certainly doesn't mind bragging about his time in the MI6 now]

I suppose saying I was a spy isn't wrong -- but my work was mostly out there in the field alongside my team.

[So not so much spying, but a lot of traveling and pursuing targets, yup]

Yes! That and all the rest of my skills. [Except for the jokes, those are just him being a little insufferable, haha] It's not a pleasant job, as you can imagine.
