New Employee - Some Days After Arrival [Closed to Urianger]

It might be possible to have heard the rumors of an individual appearing in the canteen some days ago. Maybe there was a description involved; Elidibus had appeared in white robes and the red mask of his office, though the former had been plain and free of Ascian embellishments.

Well, people did appear regularly. Maybe the details were lost. Other than his outfit, he'd not caused too much of a fuss and had been escorted away fairly quickly. There was orientation to do, spooky pages to magically bestow the English language with (though he might well have gotten away with adapting modern Eorzean to become fluent, frankly) and given an apartment assignment, an ID, clothing and housing.

But he had expressed interest in getting to work and what better place to start than the research department? Despite having little knowledge of this particular star, he'd proven himself quite capable in collating data and understanding the basics of computer use. Having him shadow (a figurative term! honest!) his new desk partner to learn the ropes of the department and go through the same workload for a few days before giving Elidibus his own. That'll be simple enough, right?

He was told to wait in the library, as it might be a more comfortable place to meet his co-worker than the line of office desks filled with people. Elidibus had no problem with this. Now that he had login access, he could make use of the databases or browse through the limited collection of physical books. He'll have one of these open in his hands while reading the pages when the person he's waiting for arrives.

The same someone that told Elidibus to wait goes to let Urianger know. Well, the memo about the new member of the research team had come at least twenty-four hours in advance. But anyway! Right now, the employee is all too willing to walk and talk a little about the person who will be partnering with the next few days.

"I wouldn't worry too much. Even though he's young, he seems to be able to pick things up quickly. I'm sure you won't have any trouble teaching him the ropes." She takes the initiative to open the door to the library and gesture the elezen through to get a first look at the new employee.

He's fairly short for a male hyur. Or human as they call them here isn't it? He wears a white, button-down shirt tucked into belted black dress slacks and simple dark dress shoes. The professional appearance might, by some standards, be ruined a bit by the silver-white hair that's long enough to reach his shoulders. It's currently tied back but Elidibus has no intention of cutting it or dying it a 'normal' color. And in the ADI he doesn't have to hide the way the blue irises of his eyes seem to glow. He might not be immediately recognizable. But... perhaps Urianger did witness the final moments before Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus returned to the star. Here there are some similarities.

"Urianger, this is Themis Galvus. Or 'Elidibus', as he would prefer to be called."
