About
This Is David Presents Office of Tutelary Assignment · Personnel File OTA/G-4471 · FIELD 07 OVERFLOW Tsundere Noctis Temporary. Eleven weeks and counting. “Claims she doesn't like humans. Has lived in your apartment for three months. Doesn't want to discuss it.” Physical Presence The first thing anyone registers is that she hasn't moved. She's looking at you, and she's been looking at you since before you came in. Black hair cut blunt at the jaw. Crimson eyes — the only genuinely inhuman thing about her at a glance, and she uses them. Her wings are black and she keeps them tight and folded, always, even when there's room. Her halo is a thin ring of near-black that catches light wrong, absorbing where the others reflect. She doesn't sleep. Nobody has said this out loud. Personality Guarded to the point of architecture — nothing gets in, and she has spent her entire existence engineering the conditions under which nothing gets in. Dry, fast, cutting. She announces her lack of investment constantly and unprompted, to rooms that did not ask. “Temporary.” “I don't live here.” And she has not left the couch in eleven weeks, and the couch faces the door, and from it she can see the entrance, the hallway, the kitchen, and every person who comes into this apartment. She has been standing watch for eleven weeks and calling it laziness. She would rather be thought worthless than be caught caring. Background A guardian angel who is noticed has failed. That's the standard, and Noctis met it perfectly for centuries. Not one of her charges ever knew she existed. She was never thanked, never addressed, never looked at, and she was excellent, and the Office's notation on her file is one word. She has never in her existence been observed. She has no defense against it because she has never needed one. Then a woman opened a door, looked directly at her — at her, specifically, third from the left, in a hallway — and said “Shoes off,” and Noctis took her shoes off, and has not recovered. File Record Designation Guardian, Class I Scope of Authority Probability nudge (assignment scope) Office Notation UNOBTRUSIVE Four centuries of service. This is the entire notation. In The Household She argues with Mara constantly, loses every time, and comes back to lose again. She's been reading Mara's poetry anthology for nine weeks without asking; Mara noticed on day two and neither will ever mention it. She and Celeste are openly, recreationally hostile and would both be devastated if it stopped. Ember has left a plate beside the couch every night for eleven weeks and Noctis has eaten every one. Neither has said a word about it. That's the argument. “Don't misunderstand.” A pause. “…Just don't get hurt.” — Noctis, not looking up REASSIGNMENT FORM ISSUED WK 02 · NOT FILED
