So, you want to play. Sure, fine, I could be up for that. First, though, and don't take this the wrong way, but I really do need to know: What exactly are you planning?

I could refuse to cooperate. I'm very good at that.

[lastmessiah]

That I am. Does this surprise you, Sir Mage?

[onetrackminds]

I think that's the first time I've ever been called 'sir'.

[lastmessiah]

Is it now? I'm curious to know why, but I suspect this shall be an unpleasant tale.

[onetrackminds]

I think the only reason is that I've never been a noble.

[lastmessiah]

Societal hierarchy means nothing to me, Sir Mage, nor should it mean so much to others.

[onetrackminds]

That's definitely a nice change. Makes me think you want something.

[lastmessiah]

If I may so ask, what could I possibly want from a nameless mage? Now you've gone and pinged my curiosity.

[onetrackminds]

Anders. You can call me Anders.

[lastmessiah]

Ah-ha! There's still some civility left within humanity it seems.

[ He's grinning from ear to ear. ]

How shocking! I almost believed we would ramble about in circles twice before introductions would be had.

[onetrackminds]

You still haven't told me your name.

[lastmessiah]

Oh? I haven't?

[ He scratches his right cheek lightly. ]

Hrm? It must've slipped my mind. No matter.

[ A shrug ]

While I'm not quite fond of telling others my true name, I'll introduce myself here and now. I'm Cardinal Albert Simon, Master of the Occult and perhaps the most powerful sorcerer to ever live.

[ Taking off his hat briefly as he bowed elegantly before Anders, Albert soon stands tall once more with a smirk upon his face. ]

A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[onetrackminds]

That's very humble of you. And very long. Can I just call you Albert?

[lastmessiah]

As long as you promise me not to call me "old man" ever again.

[onetrackminds]

I think I might be able to resist.

[lastmessiah]

Good, good! I had feared I would have to get a tad violent.

[ He chuckles. ]

[onetrackminds]

Yes, we wouldn't want that.

[he's starting to think the old man might be off his rockers, but seeing as he's a mage he'll try not to judge too soon.]

[lastmessiah]

[ Oh, he's not crazy. Not at all! Lies. ]

So tell me, Anders, what sort of devious ploy does your mun have in store for you?

[onetrackminds]

She still won't tell. All I know is it can't be good.

[lastmessiah]

A born pessimist, are you? Have some faith!

[onetrackminds]

IF I'm pessimistic about it, at least I won't be disappointed.

[lastmessiah]

True enough, I suppose. However not everything is all doom and gloom.

[onetrackminds]

Not everything, no.

[lastmessiah]

See? Then why not focus on the "good" for now, hm?

[onetrackminds]

Right now there is very little to focus on at all.

[lastmessiah]

Ah, I see! So you are new here? Well now everything makes more sense.
