A Flower?

[albus_albel]

Someone seems to have made a purple paper flower (try saying that quickly) with my name on it and attached it to the door. My roommate found it, along with one for himself. Thank you, whoever left them!

But... What's going on with this rain? Honestly? It smells like blood, it carries some sort of disease... Forget it, I'm still stuck on "smells like blood." Why does it smell like blood? Does it have something to do with this "Chernobyl" place? What sort of disaster can make it rain blood?

Albel saying thank you? Heh... At least this proves you aren't the same one I spoke to in the past...

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

I hope so - from what I've heard, the other me hasn't quite come to grips with the idea of actually being civil to people. Maybe having a dragon is a civilizing influence - I know Ather kept me sane.

But, ah, I don't believe I've met you. So, you know I'm Albel Nox, and I have the pleasure of addressing... ?

[feathered-arrow.livejournal.com]

And you have... manners? This is really weird...

It's Shinon.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Being brought up as a nobleman does that sometimes, I'm afraid. Not nearly as often as it should, though - I could point out a few people in Airyglyph who prove that.

Pleased to meet you, Shinon.

[feathered-arrow.livejournal.com]

Heh... a noble. Why am I not surprised to hear that?

...Whatever.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

I couldn't say. Quite honestly, I can't say I'm quite typical, and the title's as much because of my military position as anything else.

[feathered-arrow.livejournal.com]

You don't sound much like one of those wealthy bluestockings, I'll give you that much at least.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Oh, them. I swear, some of the women around the court would not leave me alone. I'm not sure whether to be flattered that they think I'm attractive, or insulted that they think I'm attracted to them.

[feathered-arrow.livejournal.com]

Heh... I suppose I should thank you for the laugh...

You really are nothing like that other fool.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

I wonder why we seem to be so different. Peppita seems the same... But then, she never changes.

((OOC: I think Shinon's been hanging around "that other fool" too long. He's starting to talk like him.))

[feathered-arrow.livejournal.com]

Never heard of her, but I guess I still don't know everyone. I've heard others talk about 'alternate' worlds...

Didn't make much sense to me.

[OOC: Nah~ This is how he always talks ^.~ You should have seen his argument with the other Albel.]

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

The idea of alternate worlds is still less disturbing than finding out that your entire universe is a game. Admittedly, just about anything is less disturbing than that.

[feathered-arrow.livejournal.com]

A game? You going to explain that to me? Because that makes absolutely no sense.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

It's a long, confusing story. You might have heard bits of it from the other me. Suffice it to say that if you don't want to go on a long, dangerous adventure, don't go near any fallen stars in case they turn out to be crashing spaceships.

I still don't know how Cliff managed to land his ship in the middle of the city. I'm not sure what to think of Cliff sometimes.

[feathered-arrow.livejournal.com]

Ha! Him tell me anything? The only words I got out of him were 'worm' and 'maggot'.

He sounds like an idiot...

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

The more I hear about him, the gladder I am I wasn't him.

Not quite an idiot, so much as... Well, you think you know him, and then you find out he founded a revolutionary organization and then handed it over to a kid he rescued from an exploding spaceship, and it turned out to be a good choice - Maria is one of the best leaders I've ever met. I can't tell whether Cliff's playing dumb or just lucky.

[feathered-arrow.livejournal.com]

Seems hard to tell. Maybe a bit of both? Pah! I don't know him, so I can't really say, can I?

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

No, I suppose not.

Chi! Chii is glad you liked Chii's flowers! Chii hopes they made you smile!

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Chii. They certainly did.
