action;

[whithersoevergo]

[It's dark out, but in a pool of light beneath a lamp-post, Haji has found a sturdy box to sit on as he plays. In between songs he stops, looking around as though he expects company and then goes back to playing.

Is he waiting for someone? Or is he hoping someone comes after him instead of someone else?]





[ooc: Open for anything, action or over the network, just don't tell him that he's a fictional character.]

[Steady footsteps echo through the empty street. A silhouette of a tall man is visible. He appears to be taking a stroll, hands crossed behind his back. As he approaches the cellist, illuminated by the lamp-post, he slows to a half. His lips curve into a thin smile.]

Predictable. I knew you would be nearby.

[whithersoevergo]

[The playing stops, and he looks up at the familiar face. He's not surprised.]

I've made no attempt to hide.

[purebredqueens]

Of course not. Not unless she ordered it. Am I right?

[whithersoevergo]

I am Saya's.

[As if that explains everything. Well... it does, but the point remains.]

[purebredqueens]

[A flash of dark amusement crosses his face].

Still you raison d'etre? How pitiful, Hagi. You will never be anything but Saya's toothless pet.

[whithersoevergo]

I'm hardly toothless. Or a pet. The choice to serve or not is mine.

[There's a slight smile on his face as he adds...]

Something I've learned from Solomon.

[purebredqueens]

[His lips twitch. But it is not a friendly smile. Far from it.].

The blind leading the blind, hm?

Solomon is unfit to be called a Chevalier. He turned his blade against his own Queen. And like a rabid dog, he had to be put down. [His voice lowers, smug and insinuating]. One wonders why you would wish to emulate anything he has done?

[dashingrainbow]

[Dash flies above his head, listening to the music. She speaks up when he stops]

You're really good!

[whithersoevergo]

[It's possibly the strangest thing he's seen, but you can't tell from his expression.]

I've been playing for a long time.

[dashingrainbow]

[Dash likes not being stared at, so that's cool! She flies more in front of you now]


It really shows! Um, hi! I'm Rainbow Dash. [she offers him her hoof.]

[whithersoevergo]

[He looks at the hoof for a moment before taking it with his good hand.]

I am Haji.

[dashingrainbow]

Nice to meet you! [shake shake! Dash is good at shaking hoofs/hands]

Hey, why do you have two kinda of grabbers? [she didn't know they were called hands]

[whithersoevergo]

[The translation takes a moment and he looks at the bandages on his chiropteran hand.]

Why do you have wings?

[lizardofguilt]

You play cello because you are incapable of dealing with your feeeeliiiiings.

[whithersoevergo]

I deal with my feelings quite well, thank you.

[lizardofguilt]

You repreeeess and denyyyy and let another man sleep with the woman you loooove!

[whithersoevergo]

It is Saya's choice.

[lizardofguilt]

You are afraid of taking chaaaances because you know you can't make her happyyyyyy.

Also, you're afraid Solomon is prettier than youuuuuu.

[whithersoevergo]

[WHAT ARE YOU STRANGE CREATURE?]

I am different from Solomon, it isn't a contest.

[pikapikachu]

Pika pika!

[whithersoevergo]

Hello?

[pikapikachu]

{He bounces obligingly closer. All big eyes and dancing ears.}

Pikachu!

[whithersoevergo]

[And he thought that the flying horse was weird. And the dead lizard.]

Are you someone's pet?

[He's just going to assume the thing understands.]

[pikapikachu]

{Gasp! How dare you call him someone's pet! He's a free pokemon with dignity, he'll have you know! He gives a big headshake, face scrunched up}

Pika PIKA!

[whithersoevergo]

You're not a pet, then.
