Cage of Roses: Deciding to greet the masses today, are we?
mercurialectric: Oh. Um.
Cage of Roses: Um?
mercurialectric: I'm afraid I don't know who you are. Sorry.
Cage of Roses: Really now? What a harsh thing to say.
mercurialectric: I'm sorry. I really don't know what's going on here. Who are you?
Cage of Roses: Who are you?
mercurialectric: You're the one who messaged me.
Cage of Roses: Maybe.
mercurialectric: Maybe?
Cage of Roses: I was hoping to find someone else.
mercurialectric: Then why did you talk to me?
Cage of Roses: Because this is her journal. Who are you?
mercurialectric: Elenra. Who are you?
Cage of Roses: Elenra... Interesting.
mercurialectric: Who are you?
Cage of Roses: Do you know where you are, Elenra?
mercurialectric: Paixao. Yuuko told me.
Cage of Roses: Yuuko, you say? She has a shop here, doesn't she?
mercurialectric: I think? That's where I was... Who are you, anyway?
Cage of Roses: A friend.
mercurialectric: I don't know who you are.
Cage of Roses: No, you don't. But I think you'll find me to be a lot friendlier than many of the people in this city.
mercurialectric: Why should I believe that?
Cage of Roses: Because I have only your best interests at heart
mercurialectric: I don't know why I should believe that, either.
Cage of Roses: What would make you believe me?
mercurialectric: A name would be a good start.
Cage of Roses: I'd like to, but just as you don't trust me, I'm afraid I can't trust you. I can't have you putting me in danger too, now can I?
mercurialectric: What sort of danger?
Cage of Roses: What do you think I was trying to tell you earlier? Not everyone here is... understanding.
mercurialectric: Why wouldn't they be?
Cage of Roses: I imagine you look a little like someone they know. Unfortunately that someone is someone they don't really care for.
mercurialectric: That's no reason to take it out on me.
Cage of Roses: Oh, I agree completely. Have you ever heard of someone by the name of Larxene?
mercurialectric: No. Is she who you were trying to reach?
Cage of Roses: She is. She's a colleague of mine.
mercurialectric: So this is her... What is this thing, anyway?
Cage of Roses: What you're using?
mercurialectric: Yes. This machine.
Cage of Roses: Most people call it a journal. It's a communications device. It also contains a map if you're having trouble making your way around the city.
mercurialectric: Why do I have Larxene's?
Cage of Roses: That's an interesting question.
mercurialectric: You don't know either?
Cage of Roses: I have a few theories.
mercurialectric: Which you won't tell me, right?
Cage of Roses: I wouldn't want to give you wrong information
mercurialectric: You don't seem to want to give me any information.
Cage of Roses: Not yet.
Cage of Roses: But do you really want it?
mercurialectric: Why wouldn't I?
Cage of Roses: You might not like what you find.
mercurialectric: What's going to happen to me if people think I'm Larxene?
Cage of Roses: I don't know. It all depends on the person you encounter, I think.
mercurialectric: You've been so helpful in this conversation.
Cage of Roses: I do my best.
mercurialectric: So what do you want from me?
Cage of Roses: Want? I don't want anything. I'm just curious.
mercurialectric: You keep talking to me, though.
Cage of Roses: And, if you'll notice, I keep asking questions.
mercurialectric: Because you want something.
Cage of Roses: Because I want my curiosity sated.
mercurialectric: But you won't do anything to help mine out.
Cage of Roses: That all depends on you.
mercurialectric: How so?
Cage of Roses: How you act. If you are who I think you are. How everyone else responds. It all depends.
Cage of Roses: Unless... you would rather I lie to you?
mercurialectric: I'd prefer if you didn't.
Cage of Roses: I thought you might say that.
mercurialectric: I don't take kindly to liars.
Cage of Roses: Well, you have no need to worry about that.
mercurialectric: I'd hope so.
Cage of Roses: In time I think you'll find out who you can really trust in this place.
mercurialectric: I suppose I will.
Cage of Roses: I'll check on you later.
mercurialectric: I can't do much to stop you, I take it.
Cage of Roses: Not really.
mercurialectric: Fine. I guess I'll see you later, then.
Cage of Roses: Until then.
