Meetings

[begrimed]

Behind an ever traveling emerald green door (you'll find it when you really need it, but it never seems to be in the same place in the palace) lies a quaint office, often slightly ajar with a few notes of music beckoning guests inside.

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.

I don't like to keep count.

[ 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.

[mearry]

.... Yeah, I guess it does suck for you. I don't think I would ever choose immortality as a super power.

[ 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?

[begrimed]

Then you're smarter than a lotta people.

[ 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.

[mearry]

[ well he didn't expect any praise from this guy, but he'll take it!

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...

[begrimed]

Have you seen many fairy tales with that kinda stuff?

[ Hamelin is really going to appreciate all the various takes on Cinderella, surely. ]

[mearry]

Fairy tales adapt, just like urban legends. They say that even Mary-san's using texts to communicate. Zashiki-Warashis might even use cameras to watch people too.

[ he gives him an easy smile. ]

Who's to say there isn't some futuristic version of a fairy tale out there?

[begrimed]

Ahh—you got me. But I'm not that type of fairy tale. Before I came here I wouldn't have come close to imagining things like that.

[mearry]

...? Before you came here?

[ c-ta tilts his head. ]

Where did you come from?

[begrimed]

Let's call it...a land of fairy tales. Classic ones: Puss and Boots, the Ugly Duckling, you get the picture.

[mearry]

Sounds hectic.

[ but-- ]

Why did you leave?

[begrimed]

I'm the kind of guy who won't pass up a new opportunity. They're not too common among immortals, you know.
