Action

[Whose that dashing guy at one of the bars? Why it's Angelo of course, who may or may not be trying to rope people into playing cards with him. Solitaire? Black Jack? Poker? You name it, he knows them. He might also be trying to cause a bar fight or two out of boredom, since really why not make this boring village a little more exciting? After that nonsense however, he might trying this same stunt in other cafes, the tea shop, any place with people really.]

Video

[After the shenanigans of the day, Angelo hits the journals for a long needed talk to the villagers.]

You know this town is rather simple in nature, I'd say it very much matches my own hometown of Simpleton. So I suggest we ask these Malnosso fellows for a casino, I'm sure that'd lighten up the place. Maybe we could bring in a few pleasure houses as well for all you lonely people out there. Why not spice up this town and make it less dull? I think it'd be rather fun if you ask me.

[In the face of such anger, Serph stays calm, his voice still its usual even tone. After all, this stranger's outburst is nothing compared to Heat's rages, and he endured those with stoicism. By way of explanation, he says...]

None of this--

[Serph makes a small, sweeping gesture with his hand at the surroundings.]

--exists in my world.

[...That gets Angelo by surprise and he goes completely silent for a moment. What kind of world is this guy from? He was interested in him before and now he really is. He calms down again and talks before starting to head out the door.]

...Come outside, I want to talk privately with you.

[Serph patiently waits for the response. It's not exactly what he expects, and because Serph can't determine the reasoning for such a request, Serph is guarded.

But Serph nods, and obliges the request, following the stranger out the door.]

[Once they're outside away from the noise, Angelo sits down on a near by bench and gestures for Serph to sit beside him.]

What did you mean by "none of this exists in my world"? What kind of place are you from?

[Serph does sit on the bench, but there's a respectable distance between them. He has no qualms explaining the Junkyard.]

None of this existed in the Junkyard.

[It's exactly what it says on the tin!! He has no qualms explaining the basics of the Junkyard, though, and there's no hint of emotional attachment in his words.]

I come from a land of constant war. There were no plants or animals. Just people killing people to enter Nirvana.

[Angelo inches closer to Serph and leans in to look at him.]

A land of constant war? Sounds dull to me. Well now that you're in this realm, you have no reason to kill people.

[Serph really does not appreciate the approach, and frowns in warning. If Angelo comes any closer, he will do something about it.

As much as he would like to believe Angelo, the constant hunger in the back of his mind says otherwise.]

I would like it to stay that way.

[A half lie. If it wasn't for his demon, he truly has no reason to kill.]

[Angelo pulls away slightly but still admires Serph from afar instead.]

How about I get your mind off it? My treat.

[ :| ]

What do you intend?

[He might be rolling his eyes a little.]

You make it sound as if I'm going to do something vile.

[Serph just levels an even stare at Angelo; Angelo hasn't answered his question.]

[He leans in closer again, because it's just what he does before he smirks.]

You. Me. And a dinner and a couple of drinks at one of the other pubs. Sounds innocent enough right?
