Homeless-

[mindtheglasses]

Truth be told, I’m rather flattered that you bothered to give me the time of day. I realize that my background is a bit…ambiguous, but that’s quite alright – you of all people ought to know I prefer it as such. It’s far more fun that way, don’t you think? It keeps things mysterious and keeps people guessing – almost like a game of sorts.

And you know how much I enjoy games.

I'm not very fond of guessing games myself, but I certainly see your point. It's better to stay mysterious rather than be an open book.

[mindtheglasses]

I enjoy the ambiguity. Career choices require it, and all that jazziness.

[immortalrose]

You mean to state you enjoy not having people in your business, yes?

[mindtheglasses]

Precisely that, yes. I'm a rather private person. I'd like to keep it that way.

[immortalrose]

Privacy is the right to be alone–the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized man.

[ He chuckles lightly. ]

Yet, it's often the most common right broken by inquisitive minds. Are you so certain you can keep others at bay?

[volatileconstructs]

I like games too. We should play together some time.

[mindtheglasses]

[ NO GET OUT ]

Mica. Always a pleasure.

[volatileconstructs]

I'm waiting for my tea and cakes, Mr. Shirt and Tie.

[mindtheglasses]

Scones, Mica. They're called scones.

I didn't realize you were so eager for a second encounter. Did you enjoy our previous dinner that much?

[volatileconstructs]

[ she just smiles. ]

Of course, baby. You and me? We go well together.

[blueboobs]

An ambooguous past can be helpful, as long as you don't run into someone utterly determined to poke their nose into every part of your life.

[mindtheglasses]

A man of my stature has several of these types, miss. I take it from your tone you have one such person as well.

[blueboobs]

[Miss? Well, at least he knows how to address a lady.]

Oh, on and off. I manage to keep her at bay. It sounds like you manage to do the same.

[mindtheglasses]

[ they can be taught indeed. ]

I do, though it certainly requires a great deal of effort to keep her out of my hair. I find myself consistently dogged.

[blueboobs]

[She gives a little laugh.]

Ah, yes, I certainly know that feeling. Fortunately, I'm rather well-developed in the art of distraction.

[myohmaya]

Games, huh?

[mindtheglasses]

Not a fan?

[myohmaya]

Oh, no, I just wasn't sure what you meant. A lot of the time, when people say games, they don't exactly mean hide-and-go-seek.

[mindtheglasses]

I've never been one to turn down hide-and-seek.

[myohmaya]

Heh, yeah?

[mantichora]

Any games? Or did you have something more specific in mind?

[mindtheglasses]

I'm an open individual, but I'm particularly fond of Scrabble.

[mantichora]

So you're a man of letters and words, then.

[mindtheglasses]

I am. An intellectual, I suppose you could say.

[mantichora]

I suppose I could, at that. Though not everyone who calls themselves 'an intellectual' has done something to deserve the title. So what's your particular port of call? Science? Art? Jack of all trades?
