ITP: VERBAL CALENDAR.

[me_fuckyeah]

Sorry to interrupt your daily night in the life, but this is your friendly reminder to set you clocks one hour back on November 6! We're not Europe here, we do Daylight Savings Time differently

I don't have any clocks.

[misswexler]

I - [stops]

No, I guess not. Just my dad, you know? My mom's [deliberately light handwave] gone.

[it's kind of personal but hey. she's feeling a little angsty and also she just asked the guy if he cannibalized his sibling. she could at least answer a question or two.]

[x_autnihil]

*watches that handwave, then his eyes flick back to her face*

I see. Do you have any siblings?

[misswexler]

Nope.

[x_autnihil]

Just you and your father? I can see how you would have grown close.

[misswexler]

[she kind of smiles like this is touching a little too close to home] What about you? Your siblings? Let's, for the moment, pretend I haven't read any history or seen any disgraceful horror movies related to the subject.

[x_autnihil]

My siblings... My three younger siblings are living in Rome at the Orsini estate. I am not currently in touch with any of them. Apart from my detainment here, I was studying in Pisa. It has been quite some time since I have seen them. I presume you know their names? If it helps you to place me and to reassure you that I am no threat, it was 1491 when I arrived here.

[misswexler]

Do you - did you - miss them?

[x_autnihil]

No. I was used to being away from them, even before I left for the university. *a pause, hesitating for a second* There are others I am closer to, but I will be returning to Pisa temporarily soon enough. Have you heard about the vacations this place offers?

[misswexler]

I think someone mentioned it.

[x_autnihil]

*nods* Then you understand what I am talking about.

[misswexler]

Are you going to try to see them, then?

[x_autnihil]

The journey between Pisa and Rome is too great and I have too much to accomplish.

[misswexler]

...what are you going to do?

[x_autnihil]

Return to the estate in Pisa where I am staying. I need to settle for myself that things have been running smoothly during my entrapment here and that I truly have not been missed. I left at a rather delicate time. There are a few things that I need to obtain for my inevitable return to this place and a task I have been entrusted with that I must set into motion. *not mentioning any of the other things he wants to do, like find a girl willing to rub one out with quickly (because that would be inappropriate) or spend as much time as possible with his friends (because he's Cesare Borgia and of course he doesn't miss them)*

[misswexler]

So time does pass back...home when we're here?
