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?

That you're on Earth in general wouldn't be too far of a leap of faith.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Of course not. I would hope I'm on Earth, at any rate.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Well, there you have it. One mystery solved.

Where else would you expect to be, anyway?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Typically, I hope to wake up in Rome.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Where's Rome, exactly? I must say I'm not familiar with a whole lot of places on Earth.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Rome is the capital of Italy. Inside Rome exists a small little city state that's the headquarters of the Church.

I see. My apologies- I'm not from Earth originally.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Now that...that is an interesting bit of information.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Is it?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Of course it is. Humanity has barely gone past the moon but to find that other exist out there who can communicate properly. That is unique.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Oh? I'm not human, though humans did migrate to our world at some point in history.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

And what are you? I assume you were named after your planet?

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Mm? No, I'm a Crimson Noble.

_{[blah blah the behind the scenes rulers of all, the true rulers of Filgaia, etc etc etc]}

I don't believe any of the races in Filgaia are called 'Filgaians', actually.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Crimson Noble? With that lofty name, I presume you exist above most humans?

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Of course! We Crimson Nobles were on Filgaia long before humans arrived!

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Could you be more descriptive with your makeup? I'm not the type to want to perform an autopsy so I'm relying on you.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Hm? I suppose I could.

_{[And she'll describe Crimson Nobles, of which two have only ever been seen in the Wild ARMs series (Mirabelle Graceland from the anime series, Marivel Armitage from the second game). IDK man, they have pointed ears, and all of them have red eyes, but otherwise, they're humanoid and vampire-like.]}

Ho?

Allow me to return the favor and explain that I am not human. I am what is called a Dead Apostle.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Dead Apostle? Sounds interesting. Then, it's nice to talk to another non human.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Don't speak so soon. It looks like mortality has been handed back to me on a platter.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's actually the current case here, as well.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Interesting enough to hear.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

I suppose.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

You don't sound so enthused.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

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