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?

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.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Huh? Well, it's not particularly as if you'd be able to find my world mentioned in any book around here, really.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

A shame. I'd really like to learn about it.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

I'll explain some other time, if you really wish for me to. It's been awhile since I gave a history lesson to anyone.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I will most certainly take detailed notes when the time comes.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

You may wish to bring a lot of paper, then.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't have it any other way.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Fantastic. Then we'll have to arrange a time and date.

And a meeting place.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

You have seniority here so I'll leave that to you.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Ahh? Hm...do you know where you're staying?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I do believe I'm at Eleven Twenty-Seven Taylor.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

I'll make a note of it, and drop by when you've adjusted to your new surroundings, then.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Fine with me.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Right, well, until then, it was ah- interesting to speak with you, I suppose.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you. Of course, I'll be more than happy to trade information for information so prepare any questions you have in advance.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to do so, then. And perhaps take notes, myself.
