[Beyond has had to restrain himself all the way to his assigned home. It was so hard not to go and follow that white haired moron who just couldn't bloody give him what he wanted. He's sure that L is here now, if not it's that dumb, useless Naomi Misora. Either way, he had an image to hold up and had decided this was the best way to do things. He looks quite like L, only the smallest, most subtle differences that would require the screen to be closer to see or him in front to relay other than some of the mannerisms that he wasn't able to study in full.

He's laying on his bed, arms outstretched in front of him, on his side with a bit of his cheek hidden in the pillow even if both wide eyes are staring into ~~your soul~~ the screen.]

Hello.
As it seems there is a man who both has my name and possibly the answers to who I am. After being toyed with jerked about even by one of your residents I had just met I profess a lesser tolerance for it at this time. He thought it hilarious, I'm sure, to pretend to give a damn and then walk off to leave me questioning both my sanity, my life as it was and just who I can trust around a strange place that I've no knowledge of, no more than a fledgling. I thought that perhaps it wouldn't make a difference if I asked everyone if they know who I am. I've no memories prior to the room and only that Ryuzaki is significant to me.

There must be one compassionate person within the lot of you, I trust that statistics hold out in there is always a chance of meeting someone who doesn't -- how does it go? -- get off on another's misery still applies here.

[He brings his thumb to his lip, eyes wide and unblinking into the mirror while he's seemingly trying to study it while it broadcasts him.]
Also, any information on how to use this system more efficiently would be greatly appreciated. I'd owe you one, in other words.

Thank you.

[Instead of turning off the system, Beyond lets it sit on his bed face down and no more than bare feet are seen walking out of one part of the room and into the next to see just what there was there.]

I have questioned it. But I am not the one you should be asking about this matter. You would be better off debating this with Shibusen.

As far as I am concerned, whatever right the Witches had to being treated like humans was given up when they began harming innocents. You can argue morality and the logic of war all you would like, but ours is not the side that has dragged civilians and non-combatants into the fray.

Oh.
No, no no. I'm not arguing, merely trying to grasp the situation, Kaworu. You've been so helpful generous, even that I can't restrain the inclination to ask you certain questions. [He put his thumb up to his lip, nibbling the skin on the side again and pulling back slightly.] To have an intelligent conversation.

[Added all before a concerned look spread through his features, brows knit together.]You're not cross with me are you?

No, I am not. You have given me no reason to be angry.

Ah good, good. Though I can't even offer you my name in return, I have enjoyed speaking with you. I'd hate to have it been misinterpreted in my vigour.

So then, shall we dispense in the heated discussion and move to small talk? What sort of occupation have you taken here?

I do not have anything that could be called an "occupation", really. I participate in the drama and philosophy clubs, and I play the piano at the antiques store when the weather is nice.

Piano? [He asks interested in that.] I should like to hear that, one day, or maybe one of your shows.

There is a recording somewhere on the network from the first time I played there. Other than that, I just go in to play and sometimes people I the store stop to listen.

[Beyond plays his finger tip along his bottom lip before dragging it down and releasing.]
You must be very talented but I'm a little new to this system of communication. I'll have to look once I've got this down just a bit more.

I really enjoy music, you can be so creative with nothing but your hands. Music and death are the greatest of equalizers -- unless of course we're talking about musical talent. Then not everyone is equal.

Where did you learn?

[well, that's a little morbid.]

I taught myself a number of instruments while growing up. [by "a number" he means pretty much all types of classical instruments. but he doesn't like to brag.]

[Probably.]

Taught yourself? A musical prodigy. I can't say I've met one. [Met one here at least. He grew up around lesser genius.] Your parents must have been very proud of you, you should be as well.

I did not have parents. And I do not believe I count as a prodigy either. I simply had a great amount of time to myself when growing up, and because I had an interest in music, I chose to devote much of that time to learning the art.

Call it what you may, I add on further that you are too modest, Kaworu. [He's said things oddly before and Beyond only notes it and passes it by.]

It is not humility, just being realistic. I do not deny that I can play well, but I can only play what the true geniuses have composed. I have no ability for composition, and that ability for creation is mankind's true greatest strength.

[Beyond's got nothing to go on when it comes to laughter, or the thought of how to laugh yet without being creepy. He sticks to keeping neutral, but would probably have tried smiling if he knew how to do it and how to make it look amused.]

You speak poetically, too.
When you're not playing wonderfully, or saying things I cannot help but agree with in the light of mankind, what else is there to enjoy around Death City?

[um...]

There are any number of stores that might appeal to you, an arcade, a pool, the park... The people here are generally pleasant to interact with as well, despite what your first experiences here might have you believe.

A pool?
[He looks interested, not sure if it's a good or a bad interest, but he's keen to maybe try it.]

I'm unsure of my level of ability with it -- Shall we go swimming sometime if I find I can? But also, amiable people like yourself have shown me full enough not every experience will be like my earlier one. You're quite nice, in other words.

[and he instantly looks apologetic and guilty. he doesn't want to say no, but...]

Thank you, but I cannot use the pool. The chemicals in the water give me a fairly severe allergic reaction.

[Beyond thinks nothing of it, other than the obvious that he can't actually go into the water.]

Hm. That's terrible.
Then I will allow you to chose, I'm afraid I'll probably pick something again with my bad luck that'd otherwise injure you. It's all too bad, really. Are there any naturally forming lakes around here? Have you tried those?

This is a desert, so there are not any lakes nearby. But there is a hot spring that I have visited before.

Not even man made? A hotspring? I don't believe I've been to one before. Would you like to some time soon?

I would enjoy that. The hot spring has a very pleasant sort of warmth that I am very fond of.

[and he hasn't gone since eridan was here, either.]

[Another nod and he's moving to sit at the window, mirror still held in his hands.]

Good. Consider it settled. I will contact you again once I'm more comfortable in this new home unless you feel fit to contact me first.

Alright. I will let you know if I have any plans to go to the hotsprings before hearing from you, then.

[he isn't likely to, though, unless takuto or someone invites him along. heading there without eridan now feels lonely and causes an odd ache in his chest that he doesn't enjoy at all.]

Please, feel no obligation. Go if you wish or want, we can always attend a second time.

It was my pleasure speaking with you, Kaworu. Again some time then?
