Mun's been out of rp for too long and is feeling rusty

[volodarte]

Come now, signora, it hasn't been all that long since you last played. I believe I've only accumulated a slim layer of dust. It's time you got back on that horse and start writing again! Your work can wait a night or so (not that I am much one to talk, as I have been told that my workshop may be a...what did they call it...a firetrap with my projects but we are not talking about me here). Now let us start back up together! Buona fortuna! In bocca al lupo!

Maestro, you are not the only one who has dust! You're not the only one who can't get out anywhere because... because.... [He kicks the ground angrily. He does not like being ignored!] I can't breathe all stuffed up in a crowded headspace!

Am I really that hard to forget?!

Oh hi there~

[volodarte]

Ah Salai! I do not know how you could possibly be forgettable, mio caro apprendista. Unless....

[His expression turns mildly suspicious.]

Unless you are being punished for something. Have you been getting into more trouble?

hihi!

[uncleanone]

Leonardo! [His eyes are as big as saucers--nevermind, he is now pretending to pout.] How could you think such awful things of me!

[volodarte]

[He tries to look stern, like a father scolding a child, but there's laughter in his eyes.] A great deal of past experience. Perhaps I should have put you in the rafters to collect dust for a little bit as well.

DON'T HATE ME CAUSE I'M LATE hate me cause Salai is a brat

[uncleanone]

I-I thought you would understand, Maestro! How horrendous, now my own master is threatening to put me up for dust collection, and I do nothing but help, and model, and mix paints, and clean brushes! [These are great exaggerations, but shhh.]

I guess no one appreciates someone like me....

O-only if you don't hate me because I'm late either

[volodarte]

I would put you there only to brighten the shadows that no light may reach. Do you share your space with many others? It sounds terribly crowded.

[Hi Leo, want a grown-up alien with humungous curly horns? Your wish is my command.]

You think you're dusty, hon? I've only ever been out of here for something like a month.

[volodarte]

[Everyone wants a grown-up alien with humungous curly horns. Leo's not looking up when he first responds.]

I find it hard to believe that anyone would want to hide away a lovely sounding woman like yourse-

[He finally looks up and makes the most unmanly sound.]

Ah! Diavolo!

[No one's ever said Leonardo da Vinci was the bravest man in Firenze but at least he didn't scream and run away like some men would have....inspite of the small scream.]

[emissaries]

[The Emissary, on the other hand, has seen plenty of weird looking aliens in her life, so a startled reaction isn't that far out of the ordinary. So she cocks her head and smiles wryly, but her body language is deliberately nonthreatening.]

"Diavolo"? That's a new one. What language is that? Sounds a little like Boyosian.

[volodarte]

Mi dispiace, madonna. My apologies. I'm afraid your...appearance has taken me by surprise. You seem too kind to be one of the church's messengers come to take me away for my sins so then who, or what, are you? And where are you from? I have never heard of a language called Boyosian but if it is Latin based like Italian then it must not be too far away.

[emissaries]

[She grins and waves her hands in the universally recognized gesture for "calm your tits."] Whoa, slow down, dear! Even I can't answer all those at once. [Holding up her index finger:] Tell you what. You ask me one, then I ask you one, and we'll trade off like that, fair and square-ski. Deal?

[volodarte]

[His tits are the exact opposite of calm but he does try to control them.]

A most agreeable arrangement. Now tell me, my lady, what is your name? I feel it would be impolite of me to ask anything more in depth without at least knowing that.

[emissaries]

[Hee. She removes her STYLISH HAT (somehow) and bows with a flourish.

The Emissary, at your service. And you?

[volodarte]

[He mirrors her, removing his hat and bowing with an equally elegant flourish.]

Molto onorato, madonna. A most unusual name but lovely all the same. I am Leonardo da Vinci, an artist of Firenze, Italy.

If I may ask...where do you come from? I admit that I have seldom traveled beyond Italy but I have never seen anyone like you even coming in from the trading ships on the coast.

[emissaries]

[An artist! Ooh, she likes artists. You can always count on them to keep things interesting. :D She chuckles.]

Oh, you wouldn't have, dear, unless they're starships. [Pointing upwards] I'm from another planet, far beyond your galaxy.
