[Horst is in his supah fine Victorian clothes, twirling his hat idly] Right. I guess I'll get this started.

[Throat clear. Kneel in front of the PCD.] The holidays are upon us and I have a parade to run. Cloud Strife, I'm on my knees asking you to come and have fun. If you're really good, I can see to it that Santa tosses a candy cane in your direction. It just won't be the same if you're not there, so please, come.

I would say one day and a half is long enough a notice. It's not like most people here have very busy agendas anyway...

[[OOC: Is this going to be a log?]]

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

You'd be surprised. Boredom creates idle hands, which are the devil's playground or...however that saying goes.

[OOC: 99% sure there will be, because I suck at this 'hiatus' thing D: Assuming I do end up being at home, I'll post the log thing tomorrow.]

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Hmm. It's something along that line, yeah... And I don't know of many sayings that are more acurate than this one.

[[OOC: Okay. Thanks! And we all know how hectic Christmas times can become, so don't worry if you can't make it tomorrow... That's what back dated posts are for anyway. ;-)]]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Oh? You've had personal experience with idle mischief?

[OOC: This is true! XD Also my friend just looked over and saw Raven. It made her verrah happy.]

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[She archs an eyebrow at that question.] Is this what you understand from what I said?

[[OOC: Aww, that's sweet. Well I aim to please. Hehe... ^_^]]

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[Innocent grin] That and the fact you thought my friends would see you as crashing the party.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[A shrug.] Sorry but it seems you're over-interpreting my words.

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Am I? Sorry; habit.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[She smirks.] Quite an hazardous one at that.

What about you? Since you said crashing party was your job, I guess you have plenty of experience in that area.

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Is it? You don't like people asking probing questions?

A bit, yeah; guy has to keep busy somehow, and there's not a lot to do here besides. Well. Survival. [Smirk] But that gets dull after a while.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[Well isn't he perceptive?] As a matter of fact, I don't.

If you say so. ...Yet I have to wonder just how powerful you might be to classify surviving as unchallenging in a place like this.

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Powerful? That's not a word I'd use to describe myself at all, actually. I'm allergic to all sorts of annoying things: sunlight. Grass. Aftershave. And believe me, when there's danger I'm liable to be the first one hiding in the basement. [His smile isn't entirely convincing, is it?]

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

You could say I'm allergic to annoying things. Not the same as those you mentionned but still... And this goes for annoying people as well.

[Not quite convincing, no... But Raven chooses not to comment on that.]

You may try but no one can hide from danger forever. The day always comes when you have to face it.

[And about that she speaks from experience. Not that she'd be willing to actually talk about it.]

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Should I take that as a subtle hint? [He's teasing, and clearly wouldn't care if she had meant it that way; look what he's done with Cloud]

...That's unfortunately true. Especially here.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[A smirk and a sarcastic eyebrow raise at that.]

Well you tell me... I've only just met you, so it's too soon for me to say.

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Oh bah, if you're asking me for my opinion of my own company, you'll get nothing but glowing praise. So no, ma'am, you shouldn't be telling me to shove off.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[The smirk widens.] Well we've been talking for a while and I still haven't told you that, have I?

[As strange as it may sound, she's starting to find Horst amusing so she has really no reason to tell him to shove off.]

Re: [Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[He grins in return] Fortunately not! You also haven't told me your name. Not even a fake one? I'm Horst.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

I don't have that many names. The only one I go by these days is Raven.

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Well, Raven, it's a pleasure. Have you found anyone from your world here?

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Same here, Horst.

No, I haven't. What about you?

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Just my brother, but he's about the only one I know from my old life anyway. [Slightly worried frown] Have you found a place to stay?

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[She frowns a bit in return at his unexpected show of concern.]

Actually I have.

Why... Would you have offered me one if I had said I hadn't?

[Somehow she doubts it but this man seems so full of surprise...]

[Video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Yes. [She has to ask? She's too young to be so cynical.] This place may not seem like much, but it's cold and there are a lot of things out there who would love to eat us all alive.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Really? ...That was nice of you. [Why yes she has. Raven is suspicious by nature. And Horst seems to take everything so lightly. She wishes he were in front of her. Then she would have been able to tell whether he was sincere of not.] I mean I shall remember this offer... You know, just in case I don't get along well with my new roommate.

[And since it's obvious she wants a change of subject, she switches to the first one that comes to her mind.] I've be wondering... Horst is a German name, right?
