Interview with an Eight Year Old; December 30th Closed
Topic Started: Aug 10 2012, 02:39 AM (215 Views)
Twisted Visions

Neapolitan sat in class working on her assignment. Her teacher had caught her cheating again, but was constantly complaining about how often she suspected but could never confirm. It wasn't her fault she was good at getting answers when no one wanted her too. Why study when you could make everyone else do all the work. Anyway, her teacher had talked to the principal, and something about her mother came up and now she was worried her mom would find out! They had an appointment set up with some old nerdy dude from the castle to check up on her and she didn't like that. Maybe she could hide from him! YEA! Make him look for her! She always liked hide and seek!

Lantern Jack certainly got results, that much Noblesse couldn’t argue about, but his methods for achieving those results.... well they left quite a bit to be desired. Half the time he just seemed to be messing around with Noblesse, actually.... now that Noblesse thought about it, it was more likely that Jack was just messing around with him all the time and he only caught it half the time. Take today for instance, Jack had given Noblesse a list of possible recruits for the guild, and one of the names on the list had been an eight-year old, barely old enough to have her cutie mark. Now admittedly, there’s something of a value in child spies. If they act strange nopony would pay them any mind, and if the child outright said they were a spy, then the adults would just think they were playing a game, but.... No, no. Noblesse would do despicable things if it meant keeping Equestria safe, but even then he had limits.

Well, might as well get this over so he can get back to real work.

“Yes, hello, I am Noblesse Oblige, of the Guild of Archives and Records. I am here to see a.... Neapolitan? Could you send for her?” He asks the Secretary NPC manning the office at “Princess Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns.” As she goes to retrieve Neapolitan, Noblesse begins setting up shop in one of the small offices scattered about designed to serve visiting officials.

Neapolitan was still doing her work when some lady from some weird organization in the castle that asked to remain anonymous for the sake of the children asked for Neapolitan to come with her. She got up and grabbed her stuff before following her out.

-------- Some Time Later....--------

The secritary walked into the room with a disheveled and a crazed look on her face. "The girl... She... I lost her... She just disappeared! One second she was right beside me, next second she was gone! I looked away for half a second in an empty hallway and" "HI!" Neapolitan screeched, causing the mare to scream and bolt out of the room. Neapolitan was too busy rolling on the ground to notice. "Oh man did you see that lady jump! Man she didn't have know I was there" She laughed like a child.

“Haha, yes, quite amusing,” Noblesse says in that tone adults use when they’re humoring young kids, “Hm, but tell me, just what do you think the consequences of that little stunt will be?”

“Ah, but I forget myself! Hello there young one, my name is Noblesse Oblige.” He says bowing then over her a hoof to shake, “I am the Duke of Sleipnirheim, and a captain of the guard, though I am currently on leave from the guard. Today, however, I am here in my position as guildmaster of the Guild of Archives and Records. Do you know why I am here to talk to you today?”

Neapolitan listened to the guy talk. This guy has a lot of weird titles She thought to herself as he spoke. When he finally asked her why she was there and took a quick look at the piece of paper on the desk. "You want me to be a spy!" She said, not in a way to answer the question but as a shocked statement. She started jumping up and down in her chair laughing "I get to be a spy~ I get to be a Spy~!" She chanted like a little girl.

Noblesse gives out a hearty belly laugh at the young doe’s action,

“Spy? Celestia forbid! No, no, no, that’s just my subordinate’s idea of a joke,” Noblesse said flipping the file around so she can better read it. The report is full of snarky quips and doddles in the margins, hell, it looked like it was written on the back of the menu from a restaurant! “Sigh~ He certainly gets results but I don’t think I’ve ever dealt with a less professional pony in my life. Word of advice young lady? Don’t grow up like him.”

“Ahem, anyways, why ever would you think the Guild of Archives and Records would need spies of all things?” He asks clearing his throat, “Why, when you get right down to it we’re little more than glorified librarians!”

He chuckles a bit at his own attempt at a bad joke, “Ah, though that does bring me back to why I’m here. Now, according to these reports, you’re definitely intelligent, but are uniterested in your classes, preferring to flirt with boys or pull pranks. To help fix this you have been recommended to start apprenticing part time at my guild. Now I won’t lie, your teachers see this as an opportunity to fill your weekends with mindless boredom to punish you, but it is my sincere hope that you’d find working with the Guild of Archives and Records to be both a fun and educational experience. Hrm, of course all this is dependent on IF I decide to take you on of course. I only hire ponies that can get job the job done.”

Neapolitan looked at the man before her with a curious eye. "So your saying that because I'm not interested in my schoolwork... You want to turn me into a librarian?! Man, mom told me this would be so much different!" She said slumping. "I can get jobs done don't get me wrong, my mom would kill me if I didn't do my school work but I don't see how this will keep me focused more... I can do it if you want, but I can't guarantee that it will be much different then what I do in class. Teacher hates me because I ALWAYS find a way to get the answers from someone else and she has only caught me actually doing it once or twice. She usually ends up finding out by looking at my answers. I never get caught in math though!" She said with a smile.

“Ohohoho~~~” Noblesse chuckled good naturedly, “I wouldn’t discount just how interesting life as a Librarian can be, young Neapolitan. After all, Twilight Sparkle herself was a Librarian during her time in Ponyville, and you know just how interesting her life is, no?”

He sobers up a bit and looks her straight in the eye. “I feel I should tell you though, it is the school that wants you to join. Personally I am still on the fence, as far as I’m concerned the school can still achieve their goals by apprenticing you to the sewer cleaners’ guild or the lamplighters’ guild. Do not make light of the Guild of Archives and Records. If you are taken up with us you will face real danger in time, whether it’s weighing an Ursa Major in their sleep or counting the number of eggs a Roc has laid. So tell me, young Neapolitan, just why should I take you on?”

Neapolitan thought for a little bit "Will I get to go save Equestria from godlike creatures~!" She asked excited! She also processed the next thing he said.

"Oh... Ok yea I guess this would be better then all of that... I guess I will be apart of this place." She said looking around. "Will I stay in canterlot?" She asked.

OOC: She has to go to ponyville

“Well now where your apprenticeship will be determined by your master and your parents. It is traditional to serve your apprenticeship away from your parents to foster independence, and to that end, the Guild of Archives and Records has posts all throughout Equestria,” Noblesse says shuffling through some papers.

He then THWACKS the papers down on the desk, causing them to make a loud crack as he locks eyes with the young doe. His face is set in his stern officer face, “Let me make one thing clear right here and right now. If, IF, I choose to accept you as an apprentice in my guild you will be expected to accomplish the tasks you are assigned. While I will leave the methods up to you, you WILL do them. You WILL NOT get to choose which you do and which you do not. You WILL NOT question your orders. You WILL NOT spread guild secrets to those outside of the guild. If you break these rules you will be disciplined to the uttermost extent of the law, and believe me, with a master-apprentice relationship, that is quite considerable. Is this clear young lady?”

Neapolitan smiled, even as he thwacked the papers onto the desk "Don't you think the aspect of Morality of an eight year old should be taken into account? If I'm gonna be a library spy then who KNOWS what you will ask me to do! You could tell me to brutally kill some diplomat or something!" She said with wide eyes "Oooh that would be interesting actually... The amount I would learn about that races body would be extraordinary!" She said in Awe. "When can I start!" She said jumping up and down.

Noblesse is silent for what must feel like an eternity, studying the excitable young fawn and thinking.

’Hmph, presumptuous, that will have to be taken care of. Still.... has potential... No, No! What are you thinking Noblesse? She’s a child! She’d be completely unsuitable for our kind of work! Still, the apprenticeship program would certainly help with our cover, and learning a new trade is always useful....’

“Very well young lady,” He says out loud while shuffling through the various papers and setting out a series of them before Neapolitan, “Take this to your parents to fill out. Provided we have a suitable opening for you, you can start as little as a week after filing the papers with our main office in the castle. As a note though, no, your own personal morality will have no bearing on your assignments. What you are told to do will have been decided by your higher ups. You are to trust that they know better than you and not ask questions. Is that clear?”

"Well of course my Higher ups know more then me, or else they would be pretty bad higher ups but that still doesn't answer the question of what if it goes against my own morality" She giggled taking the papers. "I will bring these to my parents as soon as possible" She said walking to the door. However, she stopped just before and turned around grinning "However, next time you decide to record a meeting with me, please be kind enough to cast the spell AFTER I walk in and sit down, and not do things so sneaky like. Thats my job!" She gleamed at the pony. With that she turned around and left.
