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.

[volatileconstructs]

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

[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?

[mindtheglasses]

[ NO GET OUT ]

Mica. Always a pleasure.

[mindtheglasses]

It’s incredibly rude, in my humble opinion, to go nosing about in business that doesn’t happen to be yours.

[ a beat, because the though of someone nosing about in his mind is something he has certainly thought of. ]

I can, up to a certain point. I suppose it would depend on the, ah -- nature of the inquisition and to what means they plan on using the information.

And the information requested, of course. Some I give freely, if the right questions are asked and I happen to be feeling generous.

[volatileconstructs]

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

[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]

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?

[immortalrose]

You and I share a similar grievance it seems. I do find it rather rude for others to take such initiative to pry into my life, yet I'm oddly humored by it too.

[ Now feeling to need to ask the most basic of questions, Augustus decides to ask for a name. ]

Would it be wrong of me to ask your name? I believe you could bestow some generosity there.

[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]

Humored, or flattered?

[ the curiosity is mutual. ]

Certainly not wrong – I could hardly begrudge you that, after you’ve been so pleasant. My name is Evan Ward.

[volatileconstructs]

[ she just smiles. ]

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

[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.

[mindtheglasses]

[ he is going to rip your face off ]

Of course we do. Friday at seven, then?

[blueboobs]

[She gives a little laugh.]

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

[mindtheglasses]

Oh? Care to indulge a curious soul?

[immortalrose]

Perhaps flattered, but I wish not to seem pompous.

[ Good! Then perhaps this will prove to be a rather interesting exchange. ]

A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Evan. I'm Augustus D. Wagner.

[ Be mindful, his surname is more liked to its German counterpart than American in terms of pronunciation. Although, that doesn't stop most people from calling him "WAG-nur". ]

[myohmaya]

Games, huh?

[mindtheglasses]

You can be flattered and not pompous. There is a line, I think, that one should not cross. Toeing it, however, can be acceptable in many instances.

[ careful application of ‘smugness’ can certainly be applicable in a lot of situations. ]

The pleasure is all mine, Mt. Wagner. [ he says it right! Bless his soul. ] Or do you prefer Augustus?

[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.
