[Video] January 14th - Morning

[steife_brise]

[Few of you might recognize the face or the voice on the video. Saleh's looking out of the window of his bedroom, enjoying the wind's caresses on his hair and slightly bruised face. Four days after he engaged in a fistfight with Ryoki, the swellings in his nose, lips and cheeks have already gone down considerably, and he looks more at ease than he

And what, exactly, do you think makes a worthy Weapon?

[Video]

[steife_brise]

Hmm... an useful special ability would be quite nice.

[He pauses for a second.]

Ah, yes, and obedience. I'd greatly appreciate a Weapon that doesn't question my way of doing things.

[ permavoice ]

[threefour_time]

All good qualities. A useless partner is worthless, even more so if they do not follow orders.

[Video]

[steife_brise]

Of course, and nobody likes a worthless partner, right?

So, do you fit these qualities?

[threefour_time]

Unfortunately I missed the tour because of what was happening before I was brought here so I don't know whether or not I am a Weapon yet.

[steife_brise]

Eh, that's too bad. Still, I'm curious if you have those qualities we spoke of, in case you turn out to be a Weapon.

[threefour_time]

Unfortunately, even if I turn out to be a Weapon I am afraid my requirements for a partner are the same as yours: a useful ability and absolute obedience.

I prefer it when other people play by my rules, not the other way around.

[steife_brise]

What a shame. I had a feeling we would get along so well.

[threefour_time]

It's a bit early to be saying that, isn't it? [Though to be honest he thinks they actually might get along...though whether or not they would as partners remain to be seen.]

I am Count Waltz of Forte. [The 'who are you' is implied.]

[steife_brise]

You think so? [He isn't going to say he was being sarcastic.]

I'm Saleh. [He figures ranks don't matter much in this place. His name is enough.]

[threefour_time]

We've only just met, after all. [He knows, but there was something about this man that reminded Waltz a bit of Fugue...and while the young count didn't much miss his minion, anyone even remotely like him promises to be interesting.]

A pleasure to meet you.

[steife_brise]

Likewise, even though I can't really see your face.

[threefour_time]

I don't make a habit of introducing myself without showing my face, but I'm not exactly what one would call presentable at the moment. [Because, yes, he is that vain.]

Still, this city isn't that big, I imagine we will run into each other again soon enough.

[steife_brise]

[He chuckles mirthfully.]

Ah, yes, better hide than let others see the deplorable state you're in, I suppose.

And I'll be looking forward to that.

I'm sorry this is so hideously late. /)__(\

[threefour_time]

Hiding? [The voice suggests there is a raised eyebrow accompanying this statement.] I don't really see it that way. I think it's just a matter of wanting to make a good first impression. [Or rather, the right kind of first impression.]

It's alright! ♪

[steife_brise]

And what exactly do you think you can accomplish by making a good first impression?
