Welcome to Gaia! ::

Getting the call from a general that was not Beni was strange but Strengite still took it as her due. She was a good little soldier, sort of. She did her job collecting energy and the odd starseed, she even used her blog occasionally for the neagaverse spin. That was few and far in between however, mostly because she tended to handle social locations and events so unless s**t happened at a event, which has happened more then she would prefer, so she tended to have to get the ‘official’ story from Beni or someone else. Either way, it didn’t matter why she was being called in only that she was.

With a half smile the leggy woman paused a moment outside of the office door to make sure she was presentable. After giving her hair one last fluff she rapped on the door, only opening it once she was given permission. As much as Strengite wanted to just throw it open and pose it wouldn’t reflect well on her, she wasn’t stupid after all, so she just posed once pushing it open. It was only a short pose, one where she was standing mostly straight but with a slight sassy shift so it was clear she was a female… as if the toned legs, nice curves, and hair didn’t proclaim as much.

“I heard you wanted to see me, sir?” She murmured quietly, the sir at the end came out more of a purr. If she could get on this general’s good side then she would have even more people to use. Goodie! She just needed to make sure she read him right and didn’t do anything to piss him off. Even she had heard things about this particular pinked hair General.

Hmmmm. Stern, No nonsense, short and to the point. Up tight to the point of clenching and producing a diamond. Unless Strengite missed her guess this particular General had a serious stick up his butt, unlike her own little diminutive Beni-bear. Pulling the flirt on this fellow wouldn’t do anything more then get a glare out of him and while she enjoyed a little ‘slap and tickle’ every so often she had a feeling this particular male wasn’t too interested in the ‘tickle’ part. Such a shame really. He did have a certain look about him.

After suppressing the urge to roll her eyes at his deadpan voice Strengite entered the room like the good little soldier she was, taking the seat she was directed to. It took even less time for her to situate herself comfortably, politely, and yet still putting herself in the best view. It wasn’t an easy task but it was something she was an expert in. How to look like a lady but still look enticing, not that she expected this particular stick in the mud to notice. Such a pity really.

The woman cocked her head slightly at the question in a move designed to be cute as much as it was to show slight confusion, as much as she wanted to be cheeky right then she held her tongue and instead stated simply, “Not to my knowledge sir. Then again I am not quite sure what is in my file to begin with.” It would have at least a record of the theater fire that Beni orchestrated and most definitely the rift spelunking with that giant crowd of officers looking for some crystal doohickeys that ended up with her getting a special metal but beyond that Strengite didn’t really know what was written in her file. “I hope there isn’t anything too bad in there,” She murmured quietly, almost shyly before adding “I know I’m not the best fighter and didn’t get very far in the last tournament but I’m working on it.” She wasn’t really, mostly just playing at it. “And besides I’m more of a informationist rather than a fighter,” She finished.

As much as it was all true it was also spun and vocalized in a way to make her seem slightly demure, semi eager, and overall more then willing to please. In reality she wasn’t so demure, was really biased towards her pleasure, and while eager for things that interested her it mostly was just that… things that interest her. She was a team player because it amused her, it got her power she desired, and it benefited her in some way. So, pretty much like every other human in the universe.

How much of that was reflected in her file Strengite had no clue.

Overseas. Just the word itself had the woman take notice. Her gaze seemed to sharpen a bit even as she leaned forward some, as if to hear him better. She didn’t really care what the assignment was, just that it was out of the city, out of the country. Granted there were a few places she definitely didn’t want to go but she had a suspicion that wherever he was talking about it would be worth her while to tag along. “Where exactly? It's possible I might already have contacts in the area.” She had shifted from flirty at first, to shy and coy, and now just business. She wanted in on his little shindig, so she needed to prove it. As for the ‘contacts’, it would have been twitter followers at best. Maybe some people who follow her blog but really that was even less likely. Not that she would let this particular General know any of that.

“When and for how long will you need my assistance? I shouldn’t have too much trouble with my job since I’m a freelancer but it would be best to set something up to cover my absence.” There were a lot of other writers who would happily fill her spot so Strengite would need to protect her territory as best as possible so the more she knew ahead of time the better for her. She might even be able to make a little money off of this trip if she could swing a article or two out of it depending on how long the whole trip was. Of course she would make sure none of it touched on the real reason she was… where ever she was going, but she would still make sure it wouldn’t cause problems for the higher ups. Strengite liked teasing and flirting but she wasn’t stupid. She was expendable.

At least for now.

Strengite mentally hummed in happiness. England, the UK… Europe. If she was lucky maybe she could swing a day trip to London… or Paris after the whole nonsense was over. Yes. She wanted in on this little party. Now she just had to make sure she didn’t say or do anything that would mean she was cut from the ‘go’ list. “Understood, that's not a lot of time to work with but I’ll get it done.” She had a week to get her affairs in order, both business and personal, it would be tight but her mind was already working on it.

“Is there any further questions you have for me sir?” She kept it polite and business like since it had been made clear to her that this particular General wasn’t interested in her, not even as a verbal sparring partner like it was with Beni, so the sooner she headed out the sooner she could get everything done.

She was going to Europe!

Hell yeah!
