"Initiation"

[snobbiest]

Intriguing; however, completely illogical.

Formal introductions are in order. For now, refer to me as "Hakuteiken".

Apparent theft. Disorder. Chaos. However, I believe I am capable of assisting those targetted by criminal offenses.

[ooc: Hakuteiken = affected. Wardrobe = Batman. Going w/ DC Comics here.]

You're new then, Hakuteiken?

[snobbiest]

Correct. Fairly new: third day in temporary residence.

[snowburned]

Welcome to Edensphere, then. It's not usually-

No, it is usually like this. But it's like this...in different ways. It's not so bad.

[snobbiest]

...I see.

On average, how long does one take to adjust to Edensphere's unnaturalness?

[lizardoverdose]

Haku it is. I'm Scales. Let's hang out.

Me and Lucy are going after the thief. You can hang out with us. We're chill.

[snobbiest]

Anything other than Hakuteiken is unacceptable as a form of address.

How many others are pursuing this thief? I have seen several who fit the thief's description.

[lizardoverdose]

Dude, that's just too long. Nicknames are go. Is Hakky better? Hakut?

A whole bunch, I think. He's got a huge crown, an enormous beard, and a big creepy smile. He stuffs money in your pocket and in return takes your shit.

[snobbiest]

How informal. I refuse to acknowledge these nicknames.

Very well. I shall assist you and Lucy to pursue the thief; Toushi has been enlisted to pursuing the offender as well.

Welcome to Edensphere, Hakuteiken. I'm Spike.

[snobbiest]

An honor, Spike.

[saleskitten]

It's not always so, um .. crazy. Some guy's stealing stuff from people, so a lot of us are on high alert for him. What's weird is he'll put money in your pockets first, and then he'll take something of value off of you.

Either or, it's nice to meet you, Hakuteiken. Do you like cake?

[snobbiest]

Unusual behavior for a thief. Curious.

No particular preference, though I will not decline such an offer. It is an honor, sir. Or miss.

[saleskitten]

Miss! My name's Kitty!

And I'll bring your belated birthday cake when it's finished!

[snobbiest]

Your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.

[misterbluesky]

So...you're in temporary housing like us, then?

It's Truth, by the way. I take it you're new around here?

[snobbiest]

Yes on both counts. An honor, Truth. An intriguing name choice as well.

[misterbluesky]

Maybe we'll run into each other, then.

Nice to "meet" you too, and thanks...but I don't really feel like I picked it, if that makes any sense.
