[98] Adding to the fire

[Though harmless, this little prank that the deities were playing added to Aion's aggravation of his business, Eden, placed on hold for the time being. With the Underground flooded and all, there was little to nothing he could do but wait and calculate the damage afterward. Not to forget the damn slugs that seemed to be everywhere once again. Such hassle.

Cursed, this audio of him singing to old 20s songs had been publicly playing through out the day in mockery.]

[ooc; Cursed with Dirty Digital Laundry! Open to everything! Let me know if you want to plot something~]

[The feed is blurry, the audio crackling. But the sound of humming is crystal-clear. Someone is singing along to your song, Aion.]

What a catchy tune...

[He just stares at the man singing along and gives a sigh.]

One I've heard numerous times over the radio is all. I'm surprised you recognized it for one.

[ooc; Gah! So sorry for the delay! =;A;=!]

[The blurry image of Karl smirks.]

I greatly enjoyed this number when I first heard it. [i.e. in the 1920s.] You sing it with remarkable...enthusiasm.

[OOC: It's okay! Life's full of evulz like that Dx]

[He took well note of that blurred image. The way the man spoke, spoke for itself. He took caution but played along.]

A musician I take it.

[ooc; Thank you so much! =TTWTT= <33 It is. OTL]

Not at all. Merely an appreciator.

[He tilts his head.]

And you? Are you a singer, by trade?

Is that so?

[He gives a short laugh to that.]

Far from it. You are?

I suppose you could say my past environment was a musical one.

[His Diva had the voice of an angel. Even if the rest of her was anything but angelic.]

It's Karl. Karl Fei-Ong. A newcomer to the City. And you?

Oh, interesting.

[A glimmer of curiosity sparkled in his eyes as his grin widened.]

Another of the East it sounds. Welcome.

[Private:]
[He switched the setting to private from here on for a true conversation.]

Just how musical I wonder.

~My thanks. I'm... originally from Vietnam. But since then, I've enjoyed a good deal of travel.

[Including and not restricted to Germany, during the rise and fall of Hitler's Third Reich. A brief, white grin slashes his face.]

My mistress, Diva, was an up-and-coming opera star, if you must know.

[Another musical one when he speaks. The kinds of people he attracts. He gave a light sigh.]

I see. Your mistress? I sense a man who's not easily satisfied.

[Birds of a feather... kill together? xD]

You misunderstand, good sir. Mistress in the same sense Aphrodite was adored by Phaon. A humble mortal, paying homage to a goddess.

[Until his crazy obsessions transferred to Diva's twin sister, Saya.]

As to being easily satisfied... I suppose some might call me a moody man.

[Or an insane one.]

[Indeed~ >DDDDDDD]

Another who is overly obsessed with another then. The people in this world never cease to amuse me.

Your so called moodiness is reliant on this said Mistress, I take it.

Ah, but aren't our obsessions what keep us going, Mr....?

[He didn't catch your name...]

She had her caprices, yes. But they hardly detracted from her beauty. If anything, they enhanced it~

[Bloodlust and madness are winning qualities on Karl's list :|b ]

[Obsession... one could consider his as such though he wasn't about to admit to it, especially to a stranger no less.]

Aion.

[He raised a curious brow to the next.]

Oh? Such in what manner?

[Sounds like winning qualities to me too >D b]

~Delighted, Mr. Aion.

[A playful smirk.]

Ah, but that would be telling, wouldn't it? A gentleman should be worthy of safekeeping his lady-love's secrets.

[Many of which included polyandry, insanity, carnage and plain ol' childishness :|]

Then what of yours, Karl Fei-Ong?

[He returned the smirk.]

Those, too, are exclusively mine to know. As the saying goes, 'I am large, I contain multitudes'...

[Multitudes of WTF-ness.]

Ah, a shame. Though I suppose I can't blame you for remaining cautious. It's difficult to determine who is to trust in this world after all. [He gives a grin.]

Perhaps over a meal in the near future then.

You're quite right, sir. Even those we claim as family can be plotting to eat our hearts out of our ribcages...

[*cough*SolomonGoldsmith*cough*]

A meal, hm?

[His grin widens.]

~Certainly. I'd look forward to it. So hard to find unobjectionable company in this City, after all...

Oh? Sounds familiar.

[Considering he has a similar past.]

I'm pleased to hear.

Who's sentimental now?

You know well it's not of my doing, dammit.

You're quite talented.

All joking aside, a hint of my past surfaced.

Thanks I suppose.

Ah, I remember that one quite well. She was such a good asset and a hint that is a good reminder of your distance to Millennium as far as citizens are concerned. What of it?

One of the few in Millennium I genuinely liked.

Even with the curse over with, I still can't remove the post or privatize it.

I could see why. One who whole-heartedly accepted her role and performed well on top of that.

Figures the deities would plan such a thing. With the new wave of citizens, you have quite a bit of work ahead of you then. Use it to your advantage. Humans love to do charity work after all. One sop story is all you need.

I prefer if it went unnoticed. Do like the freedom I've gained overtime. More so with the Hellsing and her dog long gone.

Almost a shame that I didn't have a chance to speak with this Hellsing myself.

No loss.

Ah, I've forgotten to mention. I've recently attended this little event by a young lady no less.

[ooc; The fight is not over but feel free to assume that Aion told him of all its details!]

I saw the earlier conversation between her and the Police Force head - did he show up there?

Yeah he did and faced a man by the name of Jack Wynard. Ring any bells?

On the second man, no. On Winchester, the alarm is going - sometime after speaking with him, the 'hostess' chatted up Slick. She tried something with Raphael, too. I don't know what that was about; put him on edge.

She keeps to herself well though a mere human who's yet to know her limits.

Anything else with Winchester?

Too many coincidences for my liking, more so with your impression now added.

He may have gotten an informant - guess who?

Natural to think there's more than what meets the eye.

Oh, is that so? [He gave a small snicker.] Quite a role she's playing. So he's hired a dog to sniff, has he?

Don't know for certain, yet. Took the liberty and put a 'hound' from our side on sniffing out the truth [unprivatizes conversation].

Good to know though a wise-choice to have selected him, I have to wonder. He is human after all.

Resources are limited, I had to take a chance on what was available.

Unfortunately.
