So, 'people of Asper'. It sounds like you're all getting the hang of fighting, and I'm sure you can be proud of yourselves for that. [ or whatever. He's hidden his sarcasm well, and mostly just sounds affable and amused. ] But we're not a pack of savages. There's more to civilisation than killing things. The theatre, for example. How many of you have even heard of Shakespeare?

[ and a brief pause later ]

What I'm saying is, who'd be interested in putting on a performance with me.

	A performance? You mean like a play? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	smokefall 2011-11-15 01:51 am UTC (link)
	Exactly like a play. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	findutopia 2011-11-15 01:52 am UTC (link)
	That sounds like a lot of fun! I'm in! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smokefall 2011-11-15 01:55 am UTC (link)
	Do you have any experience with acting? [ if she doesn't know Shakespeare, he has sincere doubts about that. ] Or are you a singer? A dancer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, no... But I can learn! It can't be that hard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ yeeeeah no he's not saying where he lives over the radio. Sorry Sora ] I'll meet you outside the pharmacy on the corner of Harmony and Mercy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All right, on my way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ good grief you have very red hair. He puts on a faint smile, because even if they're not on the radio/stage any more, he needs to make a favourable impression. It's time to be Eve for a while. ] That's me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ how many clones of Shion are there in this city? Or rather, it's obvious that a lot of people here come from comfortable, innocent backgrounds. That means there won't be many of them used to scavenging for food or figuring out the workings of a broken-down society, so if they're here for long, the situation is going to shift in his favour.

Food for thought. The smile persists. ]

You can call me 'Eve'.

	[ Naive? Sora? NO WA-- okay yeah ] Okay, Eve. So, about this play. What's it about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] smokefall 2011-11-15 02:27 am UTC (link)
	Normally you pick the play for the actors... So I'll let you choose the play. [ he turns and heads down Harmony Street, towards the bookshop. ] If you don't have anything in mind, I can show you some others. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] findutopia 2011-11-15 02:29 am UTC (link)
	Oh! Okay. [ She follows, thinking about what would be best. Hmm. She's also totally distracted from the possibility of monsters right now ] Well, there's only one story I can really think of. Have you ever heard of the Paradise Story? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he tilts his head, both 'no' and 'elaborate' in one small gesture. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] findutopia 2011-11-15 02:32 am UTC (link)
	Okay, well, it's a really simple story that everyone knows. There's a princess who's constantly being kidnapped by the Demon Lord, and there's a knight who sets out to rescue her! I'm trying to live my life like that knight, so I know the story like the back of my hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] smokefall 2011-11-15 02:34 am UTC (link)
	How does it end? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] findutopia 2011-11-15 02:36 am UTC (link)
	Well, after rescuing the princess a number of times and deciding to stop the Demon Lord once and for all... The knight leaves on a journey and doesn't rescue the princess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ the burst of laughter is only partly fake. Most of it is honest surprise and a little bit of delight. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] findutopia 2011-11-15 02:39 am UTC (link)
	Hey, what's so funny? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] smokefall 2011-11-15 02:40 am UTC (link)
	That's not the ending I was expecting. [ ha. He shakes his head. ] I like it. We'll do the Paradise Story, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] findutopia 2011-11-15 02:42 am UTC (link)
	Me either... I don't get why he did it. Really? All right, I can't wait! [ But she's a little hesitant after bringing up the ending. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] smokefall 2011-11-15 06:19 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe he was tired of being shackled to the Princess. [ they make a left on the next corner, and the shop is in sight. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] findutopia 2011-11-15 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	Shackled? But he was the Knight of Justice who protected her. [ sora might just fall asleep on the spot once she finds out you live in a bookstore, rat ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] smokefall 2011-11-15 06:23 pm UTC (link)
	[ challenge accepted ] Did he ever ask himself why the Princess kept getting herself kidnapped? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] findutopia 2011-11-15 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	It's because the Demon Lord was evil! He wanted to take her kingdom or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] smokefall 2011-11-16 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	Which was bad. [ don't get him wrong, he's read a lot of fairytales. It doesn't mean he agrees with them ] Ah, but we'd have to find a Demon Lord of our own... You'll be the Knight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] findutopia 2011-11-16 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	Of course I'll be the Knight! [ It's like a dream come true. THANK YOU, MYSTERIOUS CHILD, FOR ORCHESTRATING THIS POSSIBILITY. ] What about the Princess? We'll need her, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's where I come in. [ he smiles, and suddenly his face smooths out from his frown into a 'natural', alarmingly demure expression. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] You'll need to fix that... findutopia 2011-11-16 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	[ She stares. Woah, he's good. Did he just get prettier? Is that even possible? ] You're... you're perfect for the part! [ He even reminds her somewhat of Tsuki... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] findutopia 2011-11-16 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	You're welcome! Okay, so we need the Demon Lord... There's a sage in one part too, and six devils guarding the red fruit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] smokefall 2011-11-16 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know many sage-like people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] findutopia 2011-11-16 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	There must be someone here who'll fit the part. In the illustrations he was really old but I think the main thing is he has to be really smart-looking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[action] smokefall 2011-11-16 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	We're going to have our work cut out for us... There aren't that many people I'd think of as 'smart'. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[radio] smokefall 2011-11-16 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	That either means you play an instrument, or you found some recordings somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The former. I play the piano. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
