[ The feed, it seems, at first, was not meant to record this part, but it did. In the background, a young boy (sans tophat at the moment) is practicing the violin. It goes on for a good while before he puts it away to address everyone, clearly unaware the feed started early. ]

A-ahh... is this on? [ He seems nervous at first, but smiles. ] I hope

[Awwww. So cuuuute. <3]

You're looking for a job, Carl?

also Cal his last posttttt :c tag me tag me. /annoying

[laetatiocaedes]

Y-yes. Do you know Mister Sonata, Mister Spain...?

[ Sheepishly~ ] I'm not that good at much besides apprehending criminals... is... there a law system here...? A plain-looking guy also looking for a job told me to talk to "Akihiko Sonata"...

Yes ma'am~

[love_lostomates]

...Oh, you mean Akihiko? Yeah, he's a friend of mine!

[He pauses, nodding.]

But yeah, there's a police force here. They might let you help out!

♥

[laetatiocaedes]

Really? Maybe you can help me, then!

[ A big grin. ] I'm an S-class vigilante, so I'm used to being able to take down adults. People tend to underestimate me because of my age, but it isn't hard. I like it... it's fun. But I'm not much for other jobs...

[love_lostomates]

[He blinks at that.]

...You sound like you really enjoy your job.

[laetatiocaedes]

Some people don't like that kind of lifestyle... I suppose it's understandable. Us vigilantes and the organization we work for... it's not a two-way street. We help them, they usually help us with information or bounties; reward money. It's a mutually beneficial relationship... and they give us the freedom to turn in the people they're after however we choose...

[ ... That smile is quite unsettling. ]

[love_lostomates]

[Yeahhh, he's a little confused.]

...What do you mean? 'However you choose'?

[laetatiocaedes]

Alive or dead. Usually they don't mind either option.

[ Smilin'. :D ]

[love_lostomates]

...Oh.

[...That doesn't quite fit--]

I thought bounty hunters usually capture the criminal alive.

[Assassins kill, if he recalls correctly.]

[laetatiocaedes]

Mm, well, the Librarium is quite different from the world's government that you're probably used to. They can't have people running out of their control, so they rely on vigilantes to keep an iron grip on Armagus use. If the tomes used to teach that kind of powerful magic got out to the public, danger could ensue.

[ He laughs a bit, oddly calm. ] ... Or people learning to break free of their dictatorship could happen again. It depends on how you view the Librarium, I guess... like I've said before, we're not exactly bounty hunters, even if the job description is somewhat similar.

[love_lostomates]

[...Dictatorship, dictatorship, dictatorship.

He closes down on this topic. He doesn't want to talk about it anymore.]

Oh. I see.

[laetatiocaedes]

[ The year 2199, Earth is not a pleasant place. World sucks, man. It's just what HE grew up with, though, so he's used to it. Anything else seems strange to him, honestly. This much freedom? LIFE EXPECTANCIES PAST LIKE 20? Weird stuff. Never mind he had to sneak into Kagutsuchi before anyway, but! ]

Anyway, there has to be something I can do... I can't stay with Noel. People won't take me seriously. I'm not really joking... I don't understand why.

[love_lostomates]

[Spain's world sucks enough at the moment, thank you. And he has seen everything, so he knows what a good life should be like. Have a smile.]

Oh, well...maybe you can try something new now?

[laetatiocaedes]

[ He frowns. ... D: New? What. ]

Like... what? I... don't really want to do anything else.

[ Okay fine he admitted it he likes killing--I mean capturing criminals for a living. ] ... But I guess I don't have a choice. I... I can't stay with Noel. It's too strange...

[love_lostomates]

Oh, I don't know...anything! New experiences are always good, right?

[laetatiocaedes]

Um... I... I suppose.

[ ... Sob he's so lost. He doesn't know WHAT to do. ]
