I have to offer my congratulations to whomever is running this show. I know you're listening in so there's no reason to play shy. I'd love to ask you a simple question. Just one and I promise I'll let it be.

On the other hand, I'll have to ask someone more simpler to explain the situation to me. Just the bare basics, if you please. If you remove all the mystery from it, I doubt I'll have any fun. As a first guess, seeing that I'm speaking English now means I'm either in the United States or in England. The climate seems to only support these two countries so it can't be too much of a leap of faith.

Well, am I right?

Should I be? I didn't catch the memo.

To be able to try something new, even temporarily, is interesting.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

It was interesting for the first month. Now it's irritating.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I have a good feeling that you'll get over it.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Hmph.

What's your name, anyways? So I know who I'm speaking with.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

A good question. You may call me Merem. Or Merm if you prefer nicknames.

1/2

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

What kind of nickname is Merm?

2/2

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Alright, then, Merem. I'm Marivel.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

It isn't up to the owner of the name to make the nicknames. In that essence, what if I called you Mari?

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

I suppose it's not entirely that bad.

Though certainly, I don't think nicknames are appropriate when we've only just started talking.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

One minute, one week. Hardly a difference.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

So people really call you Merm?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

My co-worker does but I rarely listen to her opinion on matters.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

I believe I'll just call you Merem.

Not exactly going to stop you if you do try calling me Mari, though.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I never had any intention of referring to you as that in the first place.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Well, then that matter's settled, then.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Anything else you'd like to get out?

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

So you're from Rome, then?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I've spent a lot of time there but it certainly isn't my home town.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Then where is your home town?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

You won't find it on a map.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Is that so?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

It was completely wiped out a long time ago.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Ahh? Was it, now? Then I suppose I wouldn't find it on a map, then.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I don't even think maps were even invented then so I wouldn't be able to point it out in the first place.
