Arc 1, Special Thread 2: The Callsign
Lyla cringes at the mention of Yakuza:"No, its not about Yakuza, even though I still personally consider them a shady bunch. Its quite worse."
She fiddles with her cigarette case and takes a sip from her drink.
"I personally didn't realise how they just throw you in this all. I have had Sayeed, an ifrit, with me since the beginning to whom I could direct my stupid questions. Personally haven't met Yama or Agent Orange, but I consider that as a good thing. Daniel has had run ins with both so he can say what things from his own perspective..." she ponders for a moment."I feel like talking about them is like summoning a boogeyman. I can send you a list of things you can read from the records. But to put it bluntly we have the opposition with Deathlords, and then they have Yama and Agent Orange. Yama is much like...if you'd take the concept of Lucifer and just make it want to destroy and torment the world. Agent Orange was a Sidereal like the rest, but took to their side, which means they also have access to the loom and they have the capability of doing things without us knowing."
As said she types a list of records the two could look into in their own time.
"Huh. Me? What do I do? Hmmh. Oh damn, it would be so cool to just wait in cryostasis for when the occasion calls but unfortunately the occasion never ends," she snickers a bit, trying to form a proper answer."Yeah, if you were normal citizens, we'd not be here talking of this sort of things. But fellow exalts get a bit of priviledge. When I'm not on official missions, I have my own Ombra agency to look into the troubles beneath the surface. Spying and information gathering. Most of them are actually from Underdecks, utter crooks who still want something good for this home of ours. Wouldn't be surprised if you'd already bumped into some of them by accident without knowing."
"Yeah, my type of shit is usually infiltration and tracking and information gathering...and ridiculous flight stunts. As already mentioned my previous mission was hunting an Endings gone awry through the ship. Then there was the battle of Onyx Spire, where I took part as Diamond Sky... Had to disguise my essence and self, because otherwise they would've blown the ship in an instant in an attempt to rid us of a Pre-exodite. And before that I infiltrated the Abyssal prison ship Pyongyang, so if you want to know how lovely its to be alone inside a working and fully operational ship, I'm your go-to-gal. Sorry, I can't remember when was the last time I actually got to talk about what Lyla and Blue Fox do in a same sentence so it's a bit of mishmash."
"Admittedly, we get paid enough not to do the basic legwork, but neither myself nor Daniel are unable to sit still. So my salary goes to Ombra and charity mostly..."
