[video][Click. There's a brief silence and then a bit of flickering on the screen as its owner shifts around a bit -- though he's gotten a little more conscious of the 'video' feature and you have some partial view of him rather than the wall or the floor, all you can really see is a mop of blond hair and... a lot of blankets

Hey, kid, don't be so down. Maybe Freya kidnapped you.

[A confused blink, though you might not be able to see it between hair and blankets.]

... Why would she want to do something like that? And... why go to the trouble of replacing my bracelet?

[avarice_alive]

[ Greed shrugs. ] Beats me. Maybe she likes stealing piles of blankets.

[sostaygold]

Piles of...?

[Is he being mocked? Well...]

... It is a very warm pile of blankets. But I'm pretty sure they are not the same blankets.

[avarice_alive]

[ Greed chuckles. ] Heh, probably not. So what's your name, kid?

[sostaygold]

[Well, even if he was being made fun of, that was pretty mild.]

... My name is Allen, sir. May I know who's asking?

[avarice_alive]

I'm Greed. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[sostaygold]

It--

[Wait. Wait a second.]

... 'Greed' is your name?

[It's really hard to keep sheer flat-out 'what the fuck' out of one's voice! Allen manages to get it down to roughly a 'what', though. He tried hard.]

[avarice_alive]

[ Greed chuckles. ] It's one of a kind.

[sostaygold]

I don't understand. You're saying that it is not a title or a nickname?

[BUT WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO BE NAMED GREED....

What a confusing person.]

[avarice_alive]

Not a title or anything. Greed is really my name.

[sostaygold]

... I see. Forgive the impertinent question, then, Sir Greed.

[He goes quiet for a moment.]

You must come from an interesting land.

[MAYBE IT'S A CULTURAL THING.]

[avarice_alive]

No more interesting than this place. Though it is more colorful...

[sostaygold]

That's soon to change, if the 'gods' are to be believed. So far... The colors do seem to be returning.

[avarice_alive]

I certainly hope so. Grey is so... dull. It needs more riches.

[sostaygold]

By riches, do you mean colors...?
