If you'd like.

Really? That would be amazing! It's just... a guy I know came by the other night, and it's a little unsettling for him to know where to find me if I say anything that sets him off.

I understand.

My room has a spare room. It appears quite comfortable, if you would like to take my offer.

It's the smaller one, ne? That's the one I was using in my room, so that would be great.

You're a life saver~!

Indeed.

~~I know.~~ I am located in room 512. Feel free to arrive at any time; if I am not there, please do not be afraid of Lucied. He is simply a tired old God. He will not harm you.

A... a God? Wow. I think I've just gotten myself into an interesting situation. I'll show up sometime tonight, I think. I've just got to pack a few things for my stay.

Ah, he's the Guardian of Desire, specifically. These days he is more content curling up on a rug and sleeping, though.

All right. Do take care.

Sounds more like a cat or a dog than a god... Interesting. It'll be a pleasure to meet him, I suppose?

I think I have everything but this... thing. The thing I'm writing on that took for-freakin'-ever to figure out. As soon as I grab it, I'll be right over.

Lucied is a wolf. While he can speak to me telepathically, he rarely chooses to speak to others.

Yes, this thing is quite odd, is it not? It appears to be technology from the Dawn Age.

I hope he won't mind me talking to him, then. I'm used~ to some people not talking to me.

From that, I think our worlds might be similar. We'll have to talk about it more when I get over there, I guess. If you're going to be around, anyway.

I am certain he will appreciate it.

Hm? How intriguing. Certainly, I would like to speak of it.

Great!

So you are... a drifter, then?

[Totally -A- If only my laptop wasn't being nearly as bad as my desktop was. Seriously, every fifteen minutes it goes nutsy.]

Hmm? A drifter...?

[Does it have a virus? D:]

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

thecitadel on July 29th, 2008 05:43 am (UTC)

Mercenary, dreamchaser. Whichever you would prefer. One that travels the world and explores it, taking odd jobs so they may survive. Of course, there are those that are drifters and have specialised occupations, like an assassin-type or monster exterminator.

[Possibly. But it's also over ten years old and has an ancient battery. -A-]

archaeology_101 on July 29th, 2008 05:53 am (UTC)

Oooooh~! I'm not, actually. Well... maybe a little bit. I guess you could say I'm a bit of one. I do travel the world, but I don't do any odd jobs beyond archaeology. The university back home pays the bills.

I avoid monsters. :3;

[Ooh, that would explain it. D: Eep.]

thecitadel on July 29th, 2008 05:57 am (UTC)

Ah, I see. That sounds rather exciting. Someday... I would like to be able to see the world once more.

Understandable.

[I-I really hope I get a job so I can get my own soon. -A- A nice, decent one. With XP and not Vista, too.]

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

archaeology_101 on July 29th, 2008 06:04 am (UTC)

Go for it! If I had to ever stop traveling for good, I'm not sure what I'd do.

Yeah, I hear they bite. Not too interested in finding out first hand...

[I got a lil Toshiba one that's working really well from Office Depot. XD; It wasn't too bad a price. But... Vista. *makes faces* I wish I'd gone for XP.]

thecitadel on July 29th, 2008 06:07 am (UTC)

Thank you. Your encouragement ~~makes me feel warm~~ is appreciated.

That's what swords and magic are for.

[Most new computers all come with Vista, so I was thinking getting a custom one from a computer shop. It will probably be cheaper, too. Because I really, really don't like Vista. Really. :| ]

archaeology_101 on July 29th, 2008 06:16 am (UTC)

Always glad to be of service~

Argh, don't talk to me about magic. And I'm not even sure how to use a sword. ...I know which end to hold, and that's about it. And you swing it around and hope to hit something. Yeah...

[I'm going to be the odd one out in the world and say I like Vista. The only problem I have is that it won't load photoshop. XD Which... is why I'd rather XP.]

thecitadel on July 29th, 2008 06:37 am (UTC)

...? I see. I suppose in a world where most people need to know how to use a sword to survive it's common, but some places may not be the same.

[Oooooo. :/ That muse suck~]

archaeology_101 on July 29th, 2008 03:02 pm (UTC)

Hehe... Weeeeeeeeeell... yeah. Pretty much.

[D: Indeed. *sad artist*]

thecitadel on July 29th, 2008 03:05 pm (UTC)

So... sword-usage and monsters are not all that common in your world, then?

[;A; 'msorry.]

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

archaeology_101 on July 29th, 2008 03:13 pm (UTC)

Sword-usage is common, and there are a lot of monsters near the lower half of the country. I've never seen one, personally.

Monsters are common in your country?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

thecitadel on July 29th, 2008 03:32 pm (UTC)

So you have the luxury of not knowing how to use one, then? Are you a noble?

Very. Even near towns and holy land.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

archaeology_101 on July 29th, 2008 03:40 pm (UTC)

*spluttering with laughter* A noble? No, no! Nothing like that! I'm just a poor kid from a poor farm. I'm just smart enough to keep my head down (usually).

:3; I'm glad it's not like that where I live...

thecitadel on July 29th, 2008 03:42 pm (UTC)

...I see. My apologies for the confusion.

It... is rather nice, despite all of the problems.

It's okay! I've just laughed myself silly... that was really funny.

Even with monster? Must be quite~ a place.

I think I'm going to start calling myself Sir Lanyard. I'll tell Sairn it's my new name. :D

B-but... monsters. They've got... fangs... and... I don't know! Monster breath! They seem a little different to me...

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

thecitadel on July 29th, 2008 04:39 pm (UTC)

It is proper to call those you don't know "sir," as well. Though for one of my background, it is a proper greeting for all, even those below you. ...Sairn?

I suppose.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

archaeology_101 on July 29th, 2008 04:48 pm (UTC)

I've never bothered with it too much. Yeah, Sairn. Trigger-happy blond guy I'm trying to avoid. He's fun to tease. You should try it.

thecitadel on July 29th, 2008 04:52 pm (UTC)

While being alive, I had no other options. My family was rather... influential. ...I see. Though I do not see how "trigger-happy" and "fun to tease" go together.

archaeology_101 on July 29th, 2008 04:55 pm (UTC)

Well... like I said -- I grew up on a farm. And my parents were generally laid back about that sort of thing. ~~I was spoiled.~~

They do! See, the threat of getting shot makes it more fun.

thecitadel on July 29th, 2008 04:57 pm (UTC)

Mmm. My father was a farmer. It was my mother that was of the House of Valeria. ~~Myself, as well. I believe I took it for granted, though.~~

...I do not understand your logic.

~~Don't all spoiled kids take it for granted? I know I still am~~~

Listen close! Say you see this guy. He scowls all of the time. He rarely gets ruffled. But you can say one thing, and he gets furious. Don't you think that's fun? It's fun!
