“Working on your quota?” Jet asked when the Eternal Senshi got within speaking range of the bench he’d made himself comfortable on.
This was not a new thing for Jet. He often took up residence at that bench at night, at least when the weather was nice. Sometimes he was able to talk to potential recruits. Sometimes he encountered a Senshi or Knight. Oftentimes he was given a wide berth, despite only ever wandering around the city as a General.
He didn’t feel the need to announce to everyone that he was a General King. It was easier to talk to people without them being too anxious.
Beside him on the bench was a notebook where he'd been jotting down some music notes, but set it aside when the Eternal got closer.
“Miyamoto, right? Is that how you pronounce it?” he asked, not wanting to insult him by not being able to say his name right. They’d worked together on missions before, but they hadn’t exactly had the chance to chat one on one before.

He hadn't worried about running into a general, they were on the same side of the aisle, so when he'd felt the signature it hadn't detured him. He'd been out gathering energy, and if he came across a senshi or knight he'd deal with it, what he wasn't expecting was this General to be the one out here.
"Of course." Dipping his head once in greeting.
Closing the distance between them he tilted his head, surprised someone would take the time to care if they said his name right. "Yes, it's said as it's spelled." Thankfully it was easy enough for most people to get, it could have been a lot worse for peopel to pronounce. He'd gotten lucky with that. "I'm surprised you'd ask, I doubt anyone thinks about such a thing." Glancing down at the bench for a moment he decided to take a seat, cause really why not? He wasn't going to just stand about and talk to someone, it wasn't that comfortable.
"Out enjoying the weather tonight? Or are you working on something?"

While Jet didn’t mind the company, he couldn’t help but be surprised by how casual Miyamoto was about it. Maybe he just got used to others being over the top about talking to him. Although he hoped others weren’t so casual with the other Sovereigns or Queen. He didn’t know how some would react.
“I’m glad I remembered then. Sometimes I get tongue tied, but I thought that was how you pronounced it before,” he explained, shifting some of his work to the side so he could make more room, even if he hadn’t offered the space. He hadn’t actually expected the Eternal to sit with him. At least not without asking permission.
“A little of both. I usually come out to see if anyone is around. People I’ve talked to, I have them meet me here when they’re ready for the next step of joining,” he said, not minding that it wasn’t a lot of people, but he felt it was worth it to build a relationship than force someone into it.

"If you had gotten tongue tied I would understand it, forigne languages aren't easy for everyone. Even if it's just one word it can be difficult." Being bilingual himself he didn't find Japanese to be an issue but he knew other people did, and he knew Japanese had been for a while a popular language to try and learn. Now it seemed Korean was popular, among other languages. Japanese was still up there though, it was part of what kept him working as people still wanted Japanese tattoos.
Maybe finding a way to teach Japanese would help make more money....that was an idea he hadn't had yet. It might be a good one to look into at another time; a very good idea.
"I like that idea, for meeting people and helping them into joining. It's what helped me, rather than brute force, had I not been allowed the choice and time it would have been no better than order. I think giving time, and choice, will help us to appeal to others." As it had done for himself. It was Wolframite who had given him the time and information, had eased him into the change, which had gained his loyalty. He'd even had help in shifting things from one life into the next, so he could retain some of himself.
"I hope it works and brings many to our side."

“I suppose only time will tell,” Jet offered a pleasant smile. So far he was quite happy with the agents he’d recruited. They were all different, all with different ambitions, but most importantly they were all loyal.
“What about you? Any changes you think could benefit the Negaverse?” he asked casually as he leaned his arm across the back of the bench, the side opposite of where Miyamoto had taken residence. He looked comfortable, and why wouldn’t he be?
Unless the White Moon showed up with a bunch of those things that made it impossible for Aquamarine to use his magic…
But he assumed since they hadn’t thought to use those when trying to help Faustite, that they didn’t have any left.

Now that was an interesting question. It would look bad, he assumed, to say no but off the top of his head he also had no ideas on that. Perhaps it was due to his lack of socalizing with others that he didn't see much wrong. He could say that officers should be better trained in persuading people to join them, when looking to bring people from order to chaos, but perhaps it was just a matter of personal choice and how each officer worked best. Some he couldn't picture easing others into this change, and it was a massive change in a persons life, while others seemed good at it.
Mmm, but that did bring about an idea, or at least an answer. "I hear we have a school which we recruit from. Perhaps something else, something different. We could focus on a certain group of people which could benefit us more. School age children are good, they have years to offer, but perhaps looking to a certain profession or skill set which would help us more." He was, without saying it, thinking of healthcare workers.
Thinking back to the General he knew was a med student, or maybe he was a doctor now, he'd sought him out for the sole purpose of help when he'd been injured in a fight. Perhaps more officers with medical backgrounds would be good. He couldn't think of other backgrounds they would need really; did the Negaverse have bank accounts and a way to make money? Maybe stock brokers then to help there or accountants?

“You’ll have to talk to General King Lepidolite about recruitment practices and infiltration,” Jet snorted quietly in amusement. It wasn’t really the answer he was looking for, but at least it was something for others to think about.
After all, they already had a Medical Center and free healthcare. They didn’t need people in the Negaverse with those skills, as long as they were working for them in the first place. Not everyone needed to be an officer. Not everyone was a good fit. It cost energy and time, and not everyone could split that between a profession that would benefit the Negaverse, and being in the Negaverse itself.
But he didn’t get into details of his own opinions with Miyamoto.
“It’s good that you think of those things. Keep it up and I’ll have to check in with General King Lepidolite if you do talk to him,” he mused.
