RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Eduard - 11-28-2013
Robert had his feet drench onto the dome's lavish soil as he made his way forth towards he person his eyes laid witness upon.
As he approached closer and closer, a congregation of mind disemboweling thoughts flourished throughout the metaphysical plains of his cognitive entrails. The person whom he dragged himself towards to felt familiar, yet somehow, this familiarity shattered his sanity, his lucidity for mere seconds, as if he was witnessing the manifestation of a repugnant spectre in the epicentre of his glare.
Masticated by thoughts of all forms and embodiments, joy suddenly triumphed, accompanied by other feelings one would obtain as he witnessed the return of an old comrade, brother in arms, presumed dead.
" Bonsoir, my most exquisite and overtly finespun madame who happens to enlighten us with the scrumptious existence you chose to exert inside the confines of this magnificent freeport with the ever benevolent motive of indulging us with your catering, long yearned, presence. " He said, as he approached more and more, gesticulating with his hand as if he was executing flurries and decimating tribulations against the air, severing it.
" It's been a long and insufferable torment that the sands had to subject themselves to as they found themselves falling from one chamber of the hourglass to the other until the moment our two existential incarnations could cross again and proceed in a fornication of metaphysical proportions... " He continued, as he now found himself directly in front of that madame, palpating the edges of a chair, tucked against the table.

Anne jumps a bit when the stranger begins to talk to her. With a smug look on her face, she turns to him and explains who she is looking for.
Rambunctious people, you say? I thought everyone here considered themselves "exquisite." I believe you know me.. we discussed earlier on private communications.

The woman glances up at Robert, a strange look flashing across her face, listening to him carefully as he approaches. "Robert d'Autoine, its been a while hasn't it. Still the same I can see, blowing the English language into unnecessary lengths, impressive as always."
Shifting slightly. "It almost sounds like you have missed me, that's something quite the opposite rather.. I honestly did not intend to come back, although I said otherwise as I was leaving, to a degree at least. Not since 'he is here now, although.." Trailing off slowly. "I have a favor I would like to ask of you, something that I probably would never have imagined asking someone like you, although.. Its better than what I have right now.."
Glancing up at him, looking at him directly in the eye. "Sure I don't know you too much, as you don't know me, although I find I am able to trust you to an extent. I apologize for getting right to the point, although I must ask.. If I were to give you a single task, something which would allow me to finally do my work in peace, would you take me up, and never betray this? I feel I know the answer, as how you operate is actually quite clear, although I'd like to hear it from yourself.. Just this once. I promise that i'll not show this weakness afterwards again."
Running a hand through her long hair, glancing out at the regulated creek running through the grove nearby.

Jack looks carefully at her for a few seconds, before visibly sighing. "Well, when I sat down thinking 'its time to pick up chicks' it seems that there is business I have to do instead. Really? Is life really that cruel?" Grumbling to himself quietly for a few seconds.
"Anne then I presume? I thought you were going to put this off until later. No matter." Sitting back, "So lets start from point one, you'd like to get involved with this honestly crazy group of individuals, and you have yet to explain a reason. I don't really take the standard stuff you mentioned on the net, I'd like to hear about it yourself if you don't mind.
"You've been a bit of trouble yourself, I had to check the deleted files part of our private server to find the logs, and guess what. It was empty. I wanted to restore a specific video I deleted, but its gone now." Pausing. "My priorities are not straight, I apologize, I tend to take things as they come. I'll deal with that later, although right now.."
"So tell me about why you'd like to be with us, and please don't go on a tanget about how good you are with computers or whatnot. Thats great and all, although the people is what matters to us, not what they are good at. We find a use for that later, we don't base ourselves on what we are good at though. Tell me about yourself."

"…A day tripper? Apparently it is a thing of ease now to merely waltz around the boarder…"
"…Ah, the royal household... what a blight upon the Royalists that the a certain aide within Charles's wine-cellar happens to be a fraternal affiliate - their consumptive rates must seem entirely disproportional to the drain upon their stock…" Achille lilted, marshalling in another round as the bottle dwindled dangerously.
"…So, Marie, ah, 'Nemesis' cheri." *represses a chortle* "…How very fearsome of you."
"…It takes sizeable testicles to escape ridicu… ah, apologies, I find myself at loss, ah…"
"…So ami, is there a story to accompany that (rather select) moniker?"

After listening to her words, Robert started to lean sideways while he prompted himself against the tucked chair. A motion that he executed in an unwittingly slow yet elegant fluctuation of his body as his right hand then extended forth, suavely into the nothingness, followed by a delicate, circular motion of it which would end with the clicking resonance performed by two of his fingers as they twitched against each other.
While he performed this... unexpected and eccentric motion, every joy was vented away from his insides, only so that they would be profaned by the temptations of opportunity and ambition
" I shall consider your... " he suddenly paused as he bit his lips and closed his eyes, imitating a gesture done by a once oblivious man about to realize and undoubtedly regret the consequences of the endeavour he would embark on. " ... Overtly astute, benevolent and... undoubtedly inexorable and warming compassion you embrace me with, as a permission to take a seat along side you. " he continued, as he quickly assumed a straight position, only so that he would draw the chair out, and sit on it.
A significant number of seconds found at the expense of both of their times were mercilessly deported away towards the endless, excruciating plains of nothingness and nonexistence as Robert made it a certainty to seek comfort and relaxation in the chair he occupied.
But right afterwards the last second was casted away, Robert leaned forth towards Susan, glaring into the depth of her mesmerizing eyes as a subtle, deceitful and defiant smile carved on his face. Subtle enough not to have its expression employed as a vulgarity, but evident enough to allow the release of warm, yet slithering words.
" I assume you are well familiar with the policies of our... " he then suddenly retracted, as if he wanted to erase the last word he exuded from the brinks of existence. " ... my... fraternity. And that is: " We shall seek prosperity in any way possible as long as the benefits of our actions outweigh the consequences "
He then retracted backwards even more, occupying a more comfortable position.
" And unfortunately... in these... lugubrious and ludicrous days, cheri, a favour is an expensive commodity which I can only afford to provide to the member of my fraternity... Unless... gleefully persuaded otherwise through some... auditory convenient propositions " he casted out tactfully, obviously treating Susan not like the member of the fraternity she once were, but nothing more than a possible business partner.
Such was the slithering duality of the Commonwealth
RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Remnant - 11-28-2013
Susan looks at him for a few seconds, processing the words that he has spoken, only to let her head drop for a few seconds, rubbing her eyes. "Very well.. If that's your answer, so be it.." Glancing up once more. "I came here once more in hopes that I will be able to put what little sanity I have left to good use, although I see that will be impossible now. I am aware of how this place works, which is why I was a little hesitant to come here in the first place."
Standing up, getting out of the chair. "I have nothing to give. If you'd like something in return, I'll have to turn down your terms. Perhaps I was wrong to come back. I apologize for wasting your time."
Watching the water flow for a few seconds.
"I'll be out of your hair now from now on."
RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Eduard - 11-28-2013
" I cannot abstain from commenting on how admirable was this tactic you employed, cheri " he said, chuckling in amicability, certain on the notion that Susan was jesting with the purpose of persuasion.
Exploiting the magnificence of your presence by threatening with its nonexistence as means of persuasion... That is... commendable.
He then paused for a second, elaborating a reorganization of his thoughts...
" But if I were you... I would have commented on how the mere semblance of the words you were going to exude was a favour of satisfying caliber. Which, I must admit, it would had been, if you so much desired to express them. "
His face rested motionlessly, only so that he would make for a short gasp of air and continue.
" Curiosity is an... exquisite yet ludicrous item, isn't it ? " he smiled
RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Remnant - 11-28-2013
Turning and sending Robert a glare. "Satisfying, perhaps to myself and another. Although not to you, I don't think you would gain anything out of this. I'm getting tired Robert. Of everything. This is one of the few places I have thought as of home, although it was a brief moment of time. I'm no longer part of this community, as you have ever gratefully mentioned earlier in the form of some other words.
"The.. Tactic you have mentioned, now that I think of it, perhaps that was an unintended site-affect. I apologize for that, although what I said was what it is for myself right now. I have a favor I need to ask, one that may place a burden on you, but I have nothing to give for it. Nothing I am willing to part with that is. Is there another reason I should be staying around, is that what you are implying?"
RE: Freeport 10's "Sylvania Dome" - Eduard - 11-28-2013
" I was merely implying that I would like to hear this... favour of yours, madame. " he replied, making a gesture with his hand. A warm gesture meant to accompany his words
