When people run in circles, it's a very very mad world...

[revesombre]

[There is a grand staircase at the end of this here hallway, at the top of which is a very large grandfather clock. Don't worry Mirandas, it shouldn't be yours; though, feel free to claim it as your own.

Sitting on top of the clock is a blue-eyed Rhode, wearing a pea-green dress and watching the activity below with a bemused look on her face.

[ leaning against said clock, idly munching a handful of apple slices. ]

Aren't they? Hurrying to and fro like a frenzied swarm of bees.

[revesombre]

[She stares very long and hard at Desire, as though trying to figure out exactly what she's looking at, and if Desire is male or female. She settles on addressing him as male, although it's clear to her that he's really neither.

The more pressing question at the moment, however, is why it's possible for him to see her, and the question answers itself before she can ask. So her face pulls a very wry sort of grin.]

... they are very strange sometimes. I am sure they provide you with limitless entertainment, Desire.

[aestuo_erit]

[ He flashes a brief smirk upwards at her, just before popping another apple slice into his mouth. He doesn't respond again right away, just watching others come and go with a vague sort of amusement. ]

So you do know who I am. Well, that saves me a lot of explaining.

[revesombre]

I know a lot of things. Like who and what you are.

[Reclining back in her spot on the clock, although there is nothing visibly supporting her.]

I suppose that answers the question as to why you can see me.

Yo.

[padawan_allen]

R....Road? [The Road of his world, plucked his eye. Nearly killed him. Sith.]

:3

[revesombre]

[At first she seems too absorbed by the goings-on in the foyer that she doesn't seem to notice him approach. When she does, her face lights up with a sort of childish excitement.]

Allen~!

Re: :3

[padawan_allen]

[Don't forget about the baby! That looks like himself and Tyki.]

Road.

Re: :3

[revesombre]

[It's not that she forgot; it's the fact that she's purposefully ignoring it for now. This is Allen. And, well, Rhode is very fond of Allens. She rolls over in her spot on top of the clock, propping her chin on her hand.]

It is so very good to see you~

[solo_insanity]

Ah, but I'm sure if you stopped and said hello they'd give you a moment of their time.

[revesombre]

[She peers down from her spot on the clock. Blue eyes, Tyki, blue eyes.]

It is not that I do not think that they will not give me a moment of their time, it is that most people seem to dislike my presence.

[Although, having a shattered memory means she isn't really sure why this is the case.]

[solo_insanity]

[As long as she doesn't breathe fire and try to behead him, the eye color means little to him. Something different than a Noah. Probably.]

Rather rude of them considering. I doubt most of them even know you.

[revesombre]

[She won't. And, she won't.]

I am afraid it is in their nature, to dislike what they do not understand.

[recall_tragedy]

[He approaches from behind rather than below, so he doesn't realise it's her until the last minute. When he does realise he just sort of tries to back away without being noticed. He hasn't exactly had any good experiences with Road - ever ]

[revesombre]

[That little ping that goes off whenever she is around an Allen makes her turn around in her spot in the clock, but she just stops and stares. You're Allen, but you're not Allen. Hmm.

Her eyes seem to fall out of focus for a moment - looking but not seeing - but they quickly refocus and she tilts her head, a knowing little smirk gracing her lips.]

I do not believe we have met.

[recall_tragedy]

[Well, those blue eyes are different, so maybe she's not a Noah. On the other hand, that smirk doesn't exactly increase his confidence.] I'm Mana Walker, and you are...?

[revesombre]

Mana Walker. [She knew that already, yes, but there's no point in scaring him off. He is wearing Allen's skin, after all.]

My name is Rhode~ but you already knew that, did you not?

[demonshistory]

Unfortunately. 's not a lot of fun to play with 'em when they're so busy.

[revesombre]

[The new presence quickly perks her interest, and she simply leans over in her spot on top of the clock to peer down at him. For a moment, her eyes are wide and blank - at least until they refocus, and she offers him a tiny knowing sort of smirk.]

Do they have a tendency to shy away from you as well?

[demonshistory]

[looks up at her with a slight smirk of his own]

Oh, just a bit. Can get a bit annoying though.

[revesombre]

It has been a long time since I have seen one of your kind.
