A nobleman strides into the Nexus, looking at his surroundings with surprise and interest. Shielding his eyes from the glare of the sign, he reads it several times and then turns to the crowds.

"What would inspire you to treachery?"

He's idly playing with a large gem around his neck. It catches the light very nicely.

"Depend on how you define treachery. Prolly if it looked interesting."

[theconteduke]

"So easily?" Roger laughs. "Interesting."

[killwithmymind]

Nagi shrugs. "Consciences are for people who want to spend all their time feeling guilty. There does need to be profit in it though. There's a difference between chaotic-evil and chaotic-stupid."

[theconteduke]

"I see." It wouldn't do to express agreement too openly, but he does smile. And it may not be a nice smile. "How... fascinating..."

[killwithmymind]

"I'm Nagi. Who're you?"

[theconteduke]

"Roger of Conte." He nods and smiles warmly.

[killwithmymind]

"Where's that?" Nagi's curious, so he's being fairly polite, for him.

[theconteduke]

"The kingdom of Tortall."

[killwithmymind]

"It must not be very important. I've never heard of it." Because Nagi doesn't read young adult novels that target girls. He only reads the manga....

Roger looks politely disbelieving. "Really?"

[killwithmymind]

"Really." Nagi's gaze sweeps over Roger's clothes. "But you've probably never heard of Japan or Tokyo."

[theconteduke]

"No, I haven't. Where might they be?"

[killwithmymind]

"On the Western side of the Pacific ocean in my world and others that are similar. Ironically, it's often called the East."
