Who: Mithos and you!
Where: Next to Lamufao.
When: Backdated to July 31st.
Style: Will follow you!
Status: Open!

[ Mithos has been sitting next to the Coral for a while now. Every day for the last week, he's come back to his little bench near the coral, sitting there for hours at a time, staring at it, as if he were hoping someone he knew would be there. He knew it was the time of month when people started arriving, but... once again, he was disappointed, and saddened. She still wasn't here. She still wasn't going to arrive.

And he was still terribly alone.

Today was the last chance he had, until next month. And of course, Martel wasn't there. Fighting back tears again, Mithos slowly, reluctantly, gets to his feet, and slowly starts to walk away, back towards his apartment, his eyes glued to the ground.

And he might just walk into your character. ]

[ Stubborn... that was something Martel called him all the time. ]

I don't want riddles.

[nightbaroness]

[ Yukiko clasps her hands together ]

Ahhhh, good! And I won't need to disguise myself either?

[martelapproves]

Why would you need to disguise yourself?

[ ... What a weird human. Mithos looks at her like she's insane. ]

[nightbaroness]

[ Yukiko giggles ]

Several reasons! Usually I disguise myself as part of an act.

[ or to fool people like her son ]

[martelapproves]

You're an actress?

[ Wouldn't it be called a 'costume' instead of a 'disguise,' then? It's kind of confusing to Mithos, all of a sudden. ]

[nightbaroness]

Mhm~ I'm an actress and also known as a mistress of disguise. Often the two intertwine with another.

[ Though she's retired shhh. ]

[martelapproves]

What's the difference?

[ He's never heard that term before. ]

[nightbaroness]

An actress is known for performing on a stage or in front of a group of people. They are given scripts to follow and usually perform in productions. Masters [ or mistresses in her case ] of Disguises are those who can disguise themselves as someone completely different. Those who are Master is Disguises are also splendid actors. They can accurate portray or roleplay their disguise and entertain [ or fool ] an audience with or without a script.

[martelapproves]

Oh... I see.

[ Learn something new every day. ]

So... when you put on a disguise, you're hiding?

[nightbaroness]

Mhm! I'm hiding my identity by portraying someone else. It could be someone who doesn't exist, or even if know someone enough, I can impersonate them.

[ because there is absolutely nothing wrong with that nope. ]

[martelapproves]

But... why?

[nightbaroness]

Well, there are multiple reasons! Sometimes you want to do things without people knowing it's you. People who are famous also don disguises so they don't get attention from the public. Or you can call people with your disguise. Though personally I only do that as a harmless prank.

[ Yes... 'harmless' like kidnapping your own son and pretending to be part of some secret organization. ]

[martelapproves]

Oh... I see.

[ He's never heard of a 'mistress of disguise' (or master, for that matter). It's fairly interesting. ]

[nightbaroness]

Mhm! But I wouldn't want to have to pull out a disguise in order to speak with you, so I do hope I won't have to do that in the future!

[martelapproves]

[ ummm... what. ]

Why would you have to?

[nightbaroness]

Weellll... same reason why I would have to use a riddle. Some people aren't very easy to get to.

[martelapproves]

Umm... okay.

[ Why was she being so confusing...? ]

[nightbaroness]

[ She's the mother and wife of detectives who themselves can be very confusing. ]

So, you won't make me have to do either, right Mithos-Kun?

[martelapproves]

I... don't think so?

[nightbaroness]

[ Yukiko smiles and claps her hands together ]

That's good to hear! I'll remember that the next time I see you~

[martelapproves]

Umm... okay.

[ Blink, blink. ]

Is that all?

[nightbaroness]

You look better than you did before~

[ Because distracting you with confusion was totally the way to go ]

[martelapproves]

Ummm.... thanks. I think.

[ He'll just... awkwardly slide off now. ]

[nightbaroness]

[ She sees you sliding off. But she'll allow you to go after saying one more thing. ]

I'll see you around, Mithos-Kun. Don't be a stranger~

[ And with that she goes her own way. ]
