Vautour Bleu

The subject is able to capture and store others' disillusionment—an invisible substance akin to a compound of spiritual energy. Through specific mediums, she can manipulate these accumulated illusions and convert them into physically destructive force of detrimental magnitude.

Frequent exposure to disasters in her hometown left the subject with latent Mania contamination. While trading in WhiteSands, she seemed to have formed a certain kind of contract with a mysterious power in the region, awakening her special power.

Awakened during the latent period, she shows no physical signs of mutation. She dreams frequently, mostly peaceful and pleasant ones.

The subject is the founder and de facto governor of Désir, an Outland immigrant town situated outside DisCity. She also leads a clandestine commercial organization operating along DisCity's borders, wielding considerable influence throughout WhiteSands and the border areas. Despite her mysterious background, she maintains a widespread reputation. As the head of this organization, the subject's frequent activities along the borders pose a severe security threat to DisCity. Given their adverse impact, immediate detention is recommended.

Interrogation reveals that the subject's past experiences have shaped her as a pessimist, who firmly believes in the inevitability of tragedy and the immutability of the future. Given that, she dedicated herself to protecting dreams that were doomed to shatter, which ultimately precipitates into the Désir incident. Following Chief's intervention and sharing of personal stories, her fatalistic attitude began to soften. She later made a deal with Chief, voluntarily accepting the shackles in exchange for a more promising future. Her threat level has since decreased, her merchant caravan now a valuable trade partner to the Bureau.

Throughout the Désir incident, the subject maintained an ambiguous stance, refraining from choosing a side. Her true thoughts regarding Désir and its residents also remained inscrutable. She monitored Chief during this period yet did not actively impede investigation. Their relationship evolved into a lasting partnership over time.

After the resolution of the Désir incident, the subject's whereabouts became unknown. She is believed to have resumed her trade in WhiteSands, with her current location traceable only through the gifts and letters she regularly sends to the Bureau. This indicates that the subject sustained minimal losses during the incident and maintained her extensive resources and business network.

Born as named Madeleine, the subject hailed from a wealthy merchant family in an Outland city. Her privileged upbringing distanced her from commerce, but a series of disasters left her family in desperate straits. Assuming the alias Vautour Bleu, she led her surviving relatives on a perilous journey to DisCity, which unfortunately claimed the lives of all her loved families before her arrival.

The subject arrived in DisCity only to be met with equally bleak conditions, leading to her complete disillusionment with the DisCity dream. Having lived through the trauma herself, she chose to conceal the truth and deceive the townspeople, taking them under her wing with various methods, such as the datura pollen.

She maintains a leisurely daily routine and particularly enjoys sunbathing during lunch breaks. She has adapted well to the simulated sunlight in both the outdoor activity area and the greenhouse. Her half-dozing pose has quickly become a familiar sight at the Bureau. When a mischievous Sinner attempted to prank her during her nap, it became immediately apparent that she was not defenseless even in repose.

Sophisticated and knowledgeable, the subject knows well WhiteSands specialties and the Eastside upper class. Her repertoire of insider stories and gossip has earned her popularity among Sinners. She'd also willingly exchange these plausible tales for small favors, such as dessert delivery from the cafeteria.

The subject's approachable demeanor and accommodating personality prove highly charismatic, quickly attracting a group of Sinners who eagerly attend to her every need. Furthermore, her extensive network of connections enables uninterrupted external contact and management of affairs outside the Bureau despite her detention, garnering additional attention from Sinners seeking to leverage her influence.

The subject invited Chief to an afternoon tea and specifically prepared a type of traditional seashell-shaped cake from Outland freshly baked by a top pastry chef in Eastside. Not well-versed in confectionery, Chief only learned the name of these delicate, airy pastries after tasting them.

[Vautour Bleu is having afternoon tea.]

Vautour Bleu: Ah, there you are. The sunlight is perfect right now, and you've managed to steal some free time. Why don't you join me? I've prepared tea and some special desserts. Does anything tickle your fancy here?

• Prompt: Blueberry cheesecake
• Vautour Bleu: Mmm... Rich and delicate, with just the right amount of sweetness... Perfect for Chief who's been working so hard. The best accompaniment for this tea, isn't it?
• Vautour Bleu: 😉😉😉

• Prompt: Strawberry cream crêpe
• Vautour Bleu: Shall we try it together? ...Too sweet? Haha, well, sometimes we need a touch of sweetness to balance out life's bitter moments.
• Vautour Bleu: 😏😏😏

[Sitting by the window, Vautour Bleu notices your gaze and turns with a gentle smile.]

Vautour Bleu: Why the staring? Missing the days when we were neighbors?

• Prompt: Of course yes.
• Vautour Bleu: Oh? In that case, my dear Chief, you simply must approve the request I've just turned in. Before long, we could be neighbors once again.
• Vautour Bleu: 😘😘😘

• Prompt: Of course no.
• Vautour Bleu: Oh? And here I was planning to move right next to your quarters. What a shame.
• Vautour Bleu: 😥😥😥

• Prompt: Ask if she's fine

Chief: Vautour Bleu, you don't seem to be feeling well today?

Vautour Bleu: Really? I hadn't even noticed myself.

System Notifications: Vautour Bleu seems taken aback by your words as you gesture at her face.

Chief: You've got dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep well last night?

Vautour Bleu: Hehe, paying close attention to me, aren't you?

System Notifications: She smiles, tilting her head slightly as she considers for a moment.

Vautour Bleu: Hmm... Now that you mention it, I did sleep in a weird position last night. My neck and shoulders are rather stiff.

Chief: I see... Looks like a massage is the only therapy you need today.

• Prompt: Offer to give her a massage

Chief: If you don't mind, I could give you a massage.

Vautour Bleu: Oh, that'd be my pleasure, little Chief.

System Notifications: You move behind her and place your hands on her left shoulder, beginning to massage it carefully.

Chief: ...Is this alright?

Vautour Bleu: A bit harder, please.

Chief: OK.

System Notifications: ...

Chief: Feel better now?

System Notifications: About twenty minutes later, you withdraw your now-tired hands. Vautour Bleu rolls her neck and shoulders slightly.

Vautour Bleu: Thank you so much. That was wonderfully relaxing. I had no idea you were so skilled at massage, Chief.

Chief: I wouldn't say skilled. I just spend a lot of time at my desk, so I've learned to work out the knots myself.

Vautour Bleu: Is that so... Well then, next time you need a massage, why don't you let me return the favor?

Vautour Bleu: I'd be more than happy to be of service, dear Chief.

Vautour Bleu: Oh no, I should just let the young ones enjoy it. I'm quite content just watching from here.

Vautour Bleu: By the way, wouldn't you get into trouble if your adjutant doesn't find you at your desk working?

Chief: Ahem... Well, these documents aren't particularly urgent, so I thought I'd sneak in a quick break.

Vautour Bleu: Perfect timing then. Care to join me for a while?

System Notifications: She pats the empty seat beside her. Once you're settled, she produces another drink as if by magic and presses it into your hands.

Vautour Bleu: Do you know what I love most about this place of yours?

Vautour Bleu: These kids here, most of them have such clear goals and dreams, all brimming with hope for tomorrow.

Vautour Bleu: There's nothing I love more than watching people chase their dreams with such burning determination.

Chief: ...You prefer to keep your distance, don't you? Watching everything from the sidelines?

• Prompt: I think I understand now.
• Chief: It's quite an unusual feeling... All these details I'd never noticed before are suddenly coming into focus.
• Chief: This way, you not only see more, but in a sense, you live more too.
• System Notifications: Vautour Bleu raises her glass and gently clinks it against yours.
• Vautour Bleu: That's exactly the feeling. You get me now.

• Prompt: Don't you ever feel lonely?
• Chief: In the end, these are other people's stories we're watching. At its core, none of it truly concerns us.

• Vautour Bleu: Besides, I have your delightful company today, don't I?
• System Notifications: Vautour Bleu stretches contentedly.

⚠⚠⚠ What Dessert Are You?

Vautour Bleu seems to have quite an unusual habit when it comes to addressing people.

System Notifications: After spending some time with Vautour Bleu, you notice she has quite an unusual habit when it comes to addressing people.

Chief: Vautour Bleu, may I ask why you always use desserts and sweets as people's nicknames?

Chief: Ignis is Little Pudding, Mess is Macaron, Hamel is Soufflé, Eureka is Popping Candy, and so on.

Vautour Bleu: Hehe, well... Don't you think they're quite felicitous?

System Notifications: Vautour Bleu smiles and explains her reasoning to you patiently.

Vautour Bleu: Ignis makes the most divine caramel pudding in the Bureau. It's simply impossible to get enough of it. And she herself is just like her signature dish: a bit reserved, but quite the sweetie underneath.

Vautour Bleu: As for Mess, with her vibrant outfits and accessories, and that perfectly colorful personality, what else could she be but a macaron?

Vautour Bleu: And Hamel, isn't it obvious? Her beauty and that delicate, dreamy air about her make her a soufflé.

Vautour Bleu: And Eureka, she's truly one of a kind. She may look meek and unassuming, but she'll surprise you with an unexpected pop and fizz once you get to know her.

System Notifications: You find yourself nodding along, intrigued by her convincing analysis.

• Prompt: What about me?
• Chief: What dessert would I be in your eyes?
• Vautour Bleu: Now you... Hmm...
• Vautour Bleu: If I had to pick just one... Hmm, that would be quite the challenge.
• Vautour Bleu: You have the versatility of a crêpe, the refreshing charm of a fruit tart, the rich complexity of a mille-feuille, and the intense, lingering allure of an opera cake...
• System Notifications: She seems ready to elaborate, but you're already feeling quite flustered and quickly try to stop her before she can make you feel even more awkward.
• Chief: O-okay, that's enough!
• Chief: I shouldn't have asked you that...

• Prompt: What about you?
• Chief: Then what dessert would you be in your own eyes?
• Vautour Bleu: Me? I've never actually considered that...
• System Notifications: Surprise flickers across Vautour Bleu's eyes. After a moment's contemplation, she gives a wry smile.
• Vautour Bleu: I can't quite figure it out.
• Vautour Bleu: I'm afraid I'm far too bitter to be any kind of dessert.
• Chief: Hmm... but then again, who says I have to be a dessert?
• Chief: After all, the bitterness of strong tea has its own distinct charm.

A dapper blazer paired with a snug silk dress. The sharp-and-soft blend perfectly mirrors Vautour Bleu's negotiation tactics.

Dream are regrets yet to be born, mere wisps of smoke exhaled by life.
