[SWEET MIZUKIIII

This can be post-NPC 2ening!! She can catch Luke in the mess hall with a partially-eaten meal and an electrolyte drink in front of him; he's grimacing a little, though it switches to a smile when he glances up and spots her.]

Hey. Mizuki, right?

[psynchroneyes]

[ She pauses mid-step, sizing him up quickly. Then: ]

I guess the profiles are good for getting introductions out of the way, huh?

[rav3n]

I can't say I'm happy about them, but they're good for learning everyone's names.

[Even if he would rather not have his DEETS SPILLED EVERYWHERE]

[psynchroneyes]

[ homie same ]

Yep! So that makes you...

[ She trails off. The silence lasts long enough to start growing a bit awkward, until: ]

Right, that's it. Luke!

[rav3n]

[He just. Waits patiently for her to get it.]

That's me! Detective Luke Pearce, at your service.

[psynchroneyes]

—Whoa, hold up. You're a detective?

[rav3n]

And a few other things, but yeah.

[Sherlock...]

[psynchroneyes]

They can't be that important if you're putting being a detective first and foremost, huh?

[rav3n]

It's more like... "Antique Shop Owner Luke Pearce" doesn't sound as good?

[Less catchy...]

[psynchroneyes]

You don't have to make it sound catchy, you know. I think most people would be fine with just a name.

[rav3n]

Yeah, but it's more fun that way! The detectives in books always have cool introductions. [He doesn't actually care about titles--it's more about making sure the people here know they can count on him to help figure all this out, but. He doesn't say that, he just flashes her a grin.] You don't want a cool title?

[psynchroneyes]

I've never though about it before, actually...

[rav3n]

You should give it a try! It makes work more fun, even if you already like your job.

[psynchroneyes]

But on second thought, 'CEO' itself is already pretty impressive.

[rav3n]

Not really. [WHY THIS REACTION]

[psynchroneyes]

—What do you mean not really?!

[rav3n]

Some people are just born rich! That's not impressive.

[(Rosa voice) What did Marius ever do to you]

[psynchroneyes]

[ .... ?!?!?! ]

Ouch...

[rav3n]

[Hehe!! He winks at her.]

It is a lot of work, though. If, say, Margaret or Isabel said they were a CEO, I'd be really impressed. [Do any of the men here give off competent CEO vibes??? Not really]

[psynchroneyes]

But it's not when I say it?

[rav3n]

Give it a try and find out!

[MIZUKI DATE, CEO!!! GO!!!]

[psynchroneyes]

But I really am one...

[rav3n]

Nobody will believe you if you say it like that.

[Does he believe her... a mystery...]

[psynchroneyes]

C'mon, who'd lie about that!

[rav3n]

People will lie about anything just because they can.
