Go away. Your time is up.

[Rido turns away to ignore the person off screen and faces the blinking network device. Slumping in his tall backed chair he sighs, slight irritation crossing his features as he reaches up a hand to rub his temple before addressing whoever might be listening.]

Fine. I'm listening. You all have my undivided attention.

[The Pureblooded King forces a small smile on his face, cocking his head in feigned amusement as he speaks.]

Tell me. What is it then... that you think makes you 'special'?

[Continual dodging of questions… interesting. ]


Are you reading from a list of ‘standard questions’?

[council-king.livejournal.com]

No, of course not. These are just the questions that are popping into my mind.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

The question that occurs to me is… what is your name? We haven’t even covered the most basic subject.

[Tease, Tease. ]

I am Eagle Vision.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

You don't know?

Well then~. I'm Rido Kuran, heir to the Royal House of Kuran. People with manners call me Rido-sama.

What an unusual name you have... Eagle Vision seems more of a description.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

So I have been told. It isn’t an odd name at all on Autozam.

'Rido Kuran'… that sounds Japanese?

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Autozam?

And yes, that's right. You're familiar with Japan?

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

It is a planet near Cephiro. Most people from Earth have never heard of it.

I have met several people from Japan. [Three Magic Knights in particular come to mind. ]
Really all I know of that place is what they have told me.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Are you human?

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am. Not all humans have to come from Earth.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

So. Are you better in any way to the ones on Earth?

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

I wouldn’t say better… Autozam does seem to be a bit more technically advanced than the people from Earth.

[Polite. ]

That was interesting phrasing though. Aren’t you human as well?

[council-king.livejournal.com]

[Not better? So close to moving on, but the next question is too tempting.]

No. I'm a Pureblood.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

A Purebood… what?

[council-king.livejournal.com]

A Pureblood is the highest, noblest form of vampire in my world.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

A vampire? Are the stories about your people really true?
[Has been warned about vampires. ^,^ ]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

And what stories might those be?

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

That vampires take a dim view people…

[Polite way to say Vampires and humans don’t often get along. ]

I was warned there were Vampires in the City and that they were very dangerous.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Oh? How funny.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

That doesn’t sound like something I would call funny.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Hearsay is always amusing.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

Is that really all it was?

[Chuckles. ]

It certainly can be.

1/2

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Well, I never said that~.

2/2

[council-king.livejournal.com]

But I'm afraid it's time for me to talk to someone else. There are questions that still need to be asked.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

[Ding! Time’s up. Eagle will abide by the rules of the game and move on to the next person. ]


It was very nice to meet you.

[Creepy smiles and all. ]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

[The Pureblooded King gives a slight nod of his head acknowledging that yes, it was very nice for the human to have been given such a privilege, and promptly moves on.]
