[A figure in the dark stirs, moving slowly towards the blinking light of his network device. He let's his body slip into the nearest lounge chair so he can address his audience in comfort, and begins with a feline-like stretch of his body and a yawn that shows sharpened predatory teeth.]

Such noise... waking me from my sleep. Tell me the reason.


[ooc: Sleepy vampire awakened from all the hubbub up above.]

Look what crawled out from under its rock.

[council_king]

Such a tiresome thing you are. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

[valentineluke]

That's the best you could come up with?! Do yourself a favor and burrow back into the dirt.

[manyadenouement]

Well, this place is terrible when it comes to manners.

Video

[council_king]

Most worse than others.

Video

[manyadenouement]

That does seem to be the case.

[council_king]

Or are you bored...

Video

[council_king]

Not like the others then...

Video

[manyadenouement]

I'm an individual.

[valentineluke]

With your lack of effort? Yes.

[council_king]

[Does he care? Not really.] I only spar with my equals.

Video

[council_king]

So they all claim.

Video

[manyadenouement]

Many claim. Few live it.

[valentineluke]

At nursery school. This is far too easy.

Video

[council_king]

[Not getting upset like the lesser things? Even so, words are meaningless.]

And you are...?

[manyadenouement]

Nathan Mahler. Hello~

Video

[council_king]

And what makes you worth remembering your name, Nathan Mahler? [After having not met any other up to the Master's level for entertainment in the City.

You can see why he has oh so many friends here.]

[manyadenouement]

[He makes a show of thinking about that. Pouring himself wine, sniffing it, breathing it in.

And then he makes the line private.]

Luke is quite the pest, isn't he.

Video --> Private

[council_king]

... not worth my attention. [He still waits for an answer.]

Video --> Private

[manyadenouement]

He latches onto all those that seem to be vampires and male though.

Video --> Private

[council_king]

Is that so?

Video --> Private

[manyadenouement]

Of course. He tried the same with myself, after all.

Video --> Private

[council_king]

A weak imitation. It's not surprising that he seeks his betters.

Video --> Private

[manyadenouement]

The young love to try obtain what they simply cannot have or be.

[He shakes his head and takes another sip of his wine.]

Ah yes, you wanted to know a reason for remembering my name. Well, I have nothing to prove. You are free to remember or forget it. I will hardly be bothered by the fact.

Video --> Private

[council_king]

Many consider it an honor to even have a conversation with a King~. [Still, he flashes a smile, liking the answer.]

Video --> Private

[manyadenouement]

Some aren't as impressed after having been around royalty multiple times.

Video --> Private

[council_king]

How sad. Your royalty must be pathetic then. A true King or Queen should always command awe from their subjects.

[Said only as fact.]

Video --> Private

[manyadenouement]

Perhaps that is why I am not in awe of you. They were far more impressive.

Video --> Private

[council_king]

So like that thing. Such a pity... [He'd had the notion Nathan was different.]

Video --> Private

[manyadenouement]

[He bursts out laughing then waves his hand.]

So serious~

[If he's insulted by that, he doesn't show it.]

It's more that I know you can't kill me and I have no obligation to serve you. So I end up feeling as if the title is just a title.

Names get better reactions from me.

[immortal_machine]

Oh, you're still here.

private;

[council_king]

How clever.

Re: private;

[immortal_machine]

In case you didn't see it right in front of your face, there is a revolution happening up here.

private;

[council_king]

Why should this concern me? [Of course he knows full well why, but he's feeling playful curious.]

private;

[immortal_machine]

If you want to be shackled in jail for no apparent reason, fine by me, but don't say I didn't give you a warning, and don't say I didn't try to find my old allies.

If you ever could have been called one, that is. At least I know who you are, which is better than 99.8% of the City right now.

private;

[council_king]

Have I hurt your feelings~, Shodan. I do remember you.

But you're mistaken. Not everyone is in jail and chained. [And yes, he is amused.]
