Meetings
In the center of the room lies an ornate cedar wood desk, cluttered but just short of messy, with various sheet music piled on top. The bookcases on each side are in a similar state, books shelved away neatly were it not for the lack of any semblance of alphabetization.
The boss of this domain can often be found with his feet up with no regard for decorum; a casual enough atmosphere for casual enough chats, surely.
Those who venture into the palace to seek out the emerald green door will find it's different than usual, sturdier, with a particularly bright sheen and emblazoned with an insignia.
The door is also always closed, though whether it's locked or not depends on when you visit.

[ Probably a lot of people smh. ]
That's a fancy way of saying it, but right again. [ A quirk of his head that asks "what of it?" ]
no subject
[ “a lot of us!!!” is what he’d like to say. but he’s ~polite~. or something like that. ]
Is it bad to be curious? [ he gives him a wry smile ] What do you call it then, Host-san?
no subject
That depends. [ But after a beat. ] Just something to keep my hands busy, I'm not really into a lot of that decorum junk. That goes for that -san stuff too.
no subject
[ he doesn’t really like it either. but if if means navigating society with less trouble... ]
Must be nice to live life so whimsically. Is getting people to kill each other part of your fun, too? Can’t you watch TV or something?
1/2
Right, right. It's fun, but it's also just part of who I am? Making kids and animals dance for me is something I've always had at my fingertips.
no subject
[ .... ]
The moving pictures, yeah?
[ He might not know entirely what TV is. ]
no subject
I wasn’t that surprised that you didn’t know about urban legends, but you really don’t know what TVs are, either?
[ he crosses his arms, legitimately impressed. ]
Mm, they’re the boxes with moving pictures and sound. Kind of like picture books, but... well, you watch them instead of read them.
no subject
[ So he says, but hes running a hand through his hair as he says it. Despite everything that has happened and every insult that's been thrown at him, it's this that seems to have legitimately knocked him off kilter?
He lets his hand drop but winds up twirling his ponytail instead of completely abandoning the motion (tiny icons really don't show how ridiculously long his rat tail is). ]
Yeah, I know what those are. Cameras too, but I've only seen 'em show moving pictures before recently.
no subject
[ is he teasing him? a little, actually. ]
What about computers? Do you know about those?
no subject
[ A smile now that's just a bit plastic. ]
The metal boxes? People really do like to keep things in 'em no matter what the age.
no subject
[ he can't really muster much sympathy for hamelin, but hey. ]
What do you mean by that? Lots of things are in "metal boxes" these days. Are you allergic?
no subject
[ valid. ]
Huh? No. I've heard that name before [ and because he purposefully doesn't try to say computer here. ] but they're pretty new to me.
no subject
c-ta tilts his head. ]
Really? Where have you been this whole time? Though I guess with a place as big as this, I wonder if you need to go out a lot at all...
no subject
[ Hamelin is really going to appreciate all the various takes on Cinderella, surely. ]
no subject
[ he gives him an easy smile. ]
Who's to say there isn't some futuristic version of a fairy tale out there?

no subject
[ c-ta tilts his head. ]
Where did you come from?

[ but-- ]
Why did you leave?
