Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was positively amazing what one could do with just a simple map. For example, Taani had found her way, on her own to the library. She had only walked into a wall three times, though really, those had been brushes and she had barely noticed, and there was the one time Charles had mentally yelled at her so she didn't walk into a tree. But she had focused and in the end her goal was met as she found herself looking about the library, stowing away the map for now.

For a moment she simply wanted to explore, not really looking at the books other than to see the colors, the shapes, noting extremely worn spines here and there as she walked through the stacks. It was relaxing in its way to just walk about like this, exploring, a stray comment from Charles here or there, a complaint that she was probably going to have to clean him if she touched a book on that shelf, had someone forgotten to dust?

She moved down a row, not noticing the young man in the corner until she was already headed toward him, looking at him somewhat curiously as she neared. Blonde hair. She would get used to it eventually, but it was still foreign to her, an oddity. But if there was someone here there was no reason to beat around the bush. Hands held palms together in front of her she looked at him "Namaste, I am Taani."

She continued to study him, noting the awkward smile, not sure if she had intruded. He seemed willing enough to introduce himself though, so it probably wasn't a big deal either way. Jason Kenneth...it would have been easier if the hunters she was meeting had normal names, something to associate with them, but for now she was just going to have to learn them the hard way. Which probably meant repetition.

"Glad to meet you Jason," she said, her voice with a hint of an accent more British than anything. 'I emerged yesterday actually, but this is my first opportunity to visit the library." Her eyes looked pointedly at the book he was reading finding it a bit more important than wondering if his hair naturally looked like that or if it was dyed. "Are you reading for pleasure or research?" she asked, unable to make out the title from where she stood.

She wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to take a look at the book, reaching down to pick it up. The cover was interesting, and this was a book for research? She knew a bit about zombies, but not that much, they were not particularly prevalent where she was from. Just a few things that were all but impossible to avoid. She flipped the book over to the back, skimming the information, absorbing what she could and in the moment where she was about to crack open the book there was enough of a pause that she registered that the man was still talking to her.

Whoops.

Not knowing that she might have missed so potentially very helpful information about exaggeration she just tried to piece together what she had heard at the end. 'About being a hunter?' gave her a few options, and she was just going to try to make it through this conversation without explaining she had completely ignored him for a minute there. "Yes? What about being a hunter?" Hopefully that was the right thing to say.

She gave his suggestions some thought before nodding decisively. "Yes, all of those. Though perhaps I should just start with one for now." She glanced about for a moment before folding gracefully down to sit cross-legged on the floor in front of him, not intending to stand for an entire conversation if he was sitting. Hopefully he wouldn't mind.

"Perhaps if you could start with divisions first? I think information about all of them could be interesting, though I have been assigned to the Moon division so any additional information on that one would be appreciated." She was certainly the type that preferred to just learn everything she could about a subject as soon as possible, rather than just fumbling her way along with scraps and tidbits of information.

She gave a shake, or was it a nod, of her head, a movement that was really rather difficult to discern until she actually spoke. "I am fine here."

There was a sniff in the back of her head as Charles weighed in, but it was mainly distracting and she was clearly not as bothered by it. He had offered, that was more than enough. She was beginning to think that he just liked to complain.

She came back to the tail end of him informing her that he was also in Moon and she nodded her approval. It was good to have a primary source to learn from. "Is preventing them from taking damage strictly physical, or is there a strategic component as well?" Because it would be much easier to protect someone if they kept them out of harm's way in the first place, or at least put them into positions of minimal damage. Then again if it was already predetermined there might be rather little that she could do. Maybe.

She took in the information easily enough, eyes narrowing lightly at the word "Aka" that she didn't know and certainly didn't remember being taught in school. Its was probably some sort of slang, but she understood enough that it wasn't worth bringing up at this time.

"Is there a place to go to get medical supplies?" Medical...she could do that well enough. She had been studying, her parents wanting her to go into school to be a doctor, so she had read up on a bit of the basics. Not exactly her calling, but basic first aid in a pinch? That sounded like something she would like to do. Up close and personal, fighting, seemed a bit more of a stretch, but she would take that in stride too. "You mentioned that we would work with the Sun division? What is their primary focus?"

Special clearance just to use bandages? She gave him an incredulous look for that, though admittedly maybe there was more to them than ordinary bandages. If she had to complete a special course just for a strip of cloth or two she really wasn't sure how she felt about how the facility was run. But he looked faintly disturbed about the idea, and she decided not to press for the moment.

Her other question had him facing her again, and she carefully cataloged the information. "So Sun rushes in recklessly and we look after them, got it. Now I know about the monsters and demons and such, but horsemen? Are they the cavalry for Halloween or something different?"
