Video Five

[doeswhathewants]

[The NV is propped up on something that gives a sweeping view of rooftops and Serrure in profile. Light fades as night is coming on and he's seated on the edge of a building's roof, feet dangling over. There's no worry in his face, just a pensive expression and he speaks as though to himself, though the words are obviously meant for an audience]How

[Oh now what an interesting man. Ukyou happened upon his video post while scanning the network in his boredom.]

I have myself a great many plans. For the future both here and my home land.

[Ukyou was seen to be lazing upon a fine fabric draped couch. It looked plush and expensive too. He was being fed grapes dangled above him by two beautiful Geisha. A cock sure expression over his face.]

A jewel thief? Why bother with France, North~ South~ East or whatever~

[Waving a hand about and pausing as he took a drink of wine from a glass held for him by another Geisha.]

You could pawn your precious gems and buy you're own small county, given you know the right buyer.

[He'd puff up if he knew the other guy thought of him as a man. Serrure is thirteen, perhaps fourteen, but there is something much, much older about his mannerisms and his eyes.]

Are you really, really important in your homeland? Maybe royalty. You look kind of like someone who would be royal.

[He looks away at the women, eyes slightly wide, because that seems kind of intimate, feeding someone like that, giving them wine. He's not sure if he should be witness to the scene, though the man obviously wants to be watched.]

Because France is my home and I like the country. Plus they have the best jewels, in my opinion.

[He purses his mouth, then tips his head, sneaking a glance back up at the NV] I plan on pawning them. Once I get around to stealing them.

[Ukyou was only four, maybe five years older than Serrure himself, but yes, he believed the teen to be older, simply from the way in which he held himself in conversation.]

Why I'm flattered that someone actually recognized me~ I'm an Emperor. Emperpr Ukyou to be exact.

[The women were dabbed Ukyou's mouth with napkins and pulled his long blue hair back over his shoulders. Of course Ukyou was always like this, he liked to show off and his woman were seen to be respectable so there was no harm done in flaunting them.]

So you'd steal from your own country? I say~ And so what is your opinion of the jewels here?

[Ukyou noticed Serrure looking, it made him smile slyly.]

Well I wish you the best of luck in that. Shall I keep my eyes peeled for a bounty upon your head?

[doeswhathewants]

I wouldn't think it's that hard to consider you royalty your Emperorship. I mean, you look rich. And you've got people - uhm - uh - serving you. [Maybe just a hint of entendre, especially at the mouth wiping.]

It's not like I run the country. I'd steal from the wealthy people in it. They've got more than enough, and it'd probably be a big challenge. You know, alarm systems, locks, dropping down from the ceiling on rope, things like that.

Though I haven't seen many jewels here. I'm trying to keep a low profile for now. Sort of.

[He looks away at being seen looking, because weird]

I'm too good to have a bounty on my head, the whole point of being a master jewel thief is to not be known or caught, after all.

[49th_idigo_czar]

[Even if this teen was uncomfortable with Ukyou's display, Ukyou was fond of the boy already. He flattered and complimented him~ in the few months that Ukyou had been in this port, no one had taken him seriously, no one had respected his title as Emperor.]

I do don't I?

[He smiled and sent all the women away so that it was just him now.]

And so what about here? Would you steal from the wealthy people here ?

[Ukyou smirked, his own gems and gold were out of sight, he didn't want to tempt the boy too much.]

Well you've just made yourself known to everyone watching this~

[doeswhathewants]

I wouldn't steal from newcomers. Unless they're evil. And you don't really strike me as evil, so you have nothing to worry about. [Conspiratorial smirk, because the unspoken with everyone is usually 'are you going to try and rob me?']

Yup. If I had to describe what I thought an emperor was, you would hit all the important parts. [It was always good to stroke the ego of someone important enough. But the guy was kind of cool. Even if those female servants were a little ... ah.... not Serrure's cuppa.]

[49th_idigo_czar]

I don't? ... well~ I see you have a great eye when it comes to judging people.

[Oh, so he picked up on that did he? It amused Ukyou so it was all good.]

You think so? My boy thank you. Its not every day I'm recognized for being so fair and charming. Though... I would love to entertain you some time, instead of taking my wealth for your own, why not join me the luxury of it?

[doeswhathewants]

I consider myself an excellent judge of character. [And he knows when someone's ego needs a good stroke or two to open up. Not maliciously, but eh, it never hurts to know people.]

That is awfully generous of you.

[49th_idigo_czar]

Indeed you are, indeed you are.

[Ukyou is like a cat with abandonment issues... he needs all the stroking and cooing.]

Than it's decided! You'll be attending my party to welcome in the new year, yes? I'll set aside a seat for you at the head of my table.

[doeswhathewants]

I will be sure to attend, that is incredibly generous of you.

[And Loki is good with stroking and cooing.]
