WHO: Al-Cid, Mjrn, Nanaki, Queza + Guests WHAT: Guarding Alguna, will transition to the exam WHERE: Galbadia Hotel, Deling City WHEN: March 13, 08:00 PM
Lights in Deling was a good sign, Nanaki thought. With electricity coursing through the city anew, one might be confident to think that order and stability was restored, a hopeful contrast to the days when Deling was cloaked in darkness and uncertainty.
Galbadia Hotel presented a different story altogether. Thanks to an ever-functioning generator, it was business as usual. Soon enough, the inconvenient 'ruckus' in the past became the topic of afternoon tea, a passing mention before the guests would turn on to more current events and more importantly who was snogging whom recently, which movies were coming out that weekend. Soon enough, they would run out of interesting things to talk about and consider a visit to the newly reopened shopping center. Was the opening sale still ongoing? Tim Franks was involved, wasn't he?
All made oblivious to the fact that they did not need to look far and wide to find an object of fascination. All they had to do was inquire who was currently staying in the presidential suite. But owing to the diligence of the guest's circle of friends, his arrival raised no alarms. In fact, he could easily come and go as he saw fit, with his white shirt and brown slacks get-up no one would blink to see a former Galbadian army officer and now the most powerful man in Esthar was well within their walls, legitimizing the very premises in which he was staying in.
Even the SeeD candidates would have no idea who they were assigned to protect. How powerful was this Alguna? Was their life in danger? Do they have weird rich people quirks? Their supervisor on the other hand might have received a tip or two. All will be revealed at dinner time in Room 500.
