vatheon | Monthly Mingle Log

[ He likes meeting new people... specially new people in this city. all part of the experience that is Vatheon. Gotta love it, really... ]

Johann Faust V, Isana-san. The pleasure is all mine.

[ And turning his attention back to the fireworks as a particularly spectacular spray of green comes up. ]

My entry into Vatheon wasn't as festive. Pity, really... I hope the city's treating you well at least?

... Faust-san?

[That gets an odd sort of look, a half smile that's only there for a second before Shiro bows. But it's not a typical Japanese bow, with hands at side, but a much more refined one with a hand to his chest.]

A pleasure to meet you. And yes, the city has been treating me well, all things considered.

There have been worse circumstances.

[ And he raises a teacup as a particularly brilliant shower of sparks goes off overhead. ]

Well then, here's to you and the rest of your stay within the city, Isana Yashiro. May it be as pleasant as your entrance.

I agree.

[The way he said Shiro's name gets an eyebrow raise from the teen, head tilting to the side curiously.]

I wouldn't think a German to be versed in the ways of Japanese phrasing.

I've been in Japan for a while. Certain things rub off.

[ Have a brow raised back. ]

I take it you're familiar with the name...?

Not a bad thing to have happen! The Japanese are often lovely and polite people, compared to the rest of the world.

[It's a seemingly innocuous statement, but Mephy should easily pick up on the fact that he said "The Japanese" as if referring to them outside of his own race or ethnicity.]

I am. I imagine anyone who enjoys literature would be~! Though I have to say you're not quite how I imagined the infamous Faust to look.

True. Very true. And such fascinating culture~

[ Yes, yes he did pick up on that. It strikes his interest but... all in due time. No point scaring off his new friend by prying too much. ]

Ah, so you are familiar with the piece! I'd give it a few liberties, myself. Certain things tend to warp and shift in meaning over time and telling, after all. You can say the name is a tribute rather than a direct connection.

[Yes, "friend".]

Yes, yes, of course. Such is the way of translating anything to a different medium. In that case, it's a wonderful tribute. I feel honored to have met you, sir.

[ friiieeeeend ]

Now now, jumping a bit too far into conclusion. But I suggest you keep that open mind, Isana-kun. It'll do you quite well in this city. But if you don't mind my saying...

[ Crossing his legs. ]

You seem rather experienced with the idea.

[Mephy, you're not allowed to show up at his window at 3 in the morning, ok.]

Keeping an open mind? Well... yes, you could say that. I've had some experience with the... odd an unusual lately.

[ Now why would he do that? Everyone knows 3am is the best time for online gaming. Try around 3pm when he needs company for tea. ]

I believe we all have. It seems to be a common occurrence here, depending on who you talk to. Everyone has had their share of the unusual.

[Okay fine but use the door pls.]

I've noticed. It's quite the gathering here.

That said, what do you make of it all?

[ Crossing his legs now as he takes another sip of tea, watching another explosion of fireworks overhead. ]

Vatheon tends to like its parties, no matter what the occasion.
But as you were saying. What do I make of the city?

Yes. Pulling people from other worlds, returning them on a whim... among other things. I'd like to know what your opinion on the matter is.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't completely and utterly fascinated. Really. Have you heard of such a thing...? And the fact of the matter is it doesn't seem to want to stop.

Humans, really... whatever will they think of next...?

[headtilt]

What makes you so certain humans are responsible?
