I [Second Level]

[apologizeagain]

[Whether you were on the east or west side of the city doesn't matter. This particular resident can be found on the Second Level-- where anyone can hear him.]

So it is true, huh...? There's people here now...

[A shake of his head, his whole demeanor changing now, as he smiles sheepishly.]I hear some of you guys got to talk to Sola. She's pretty

Comments

[gimmegems]

What sort of things?

[He sits and blows out a tiny bit of flame. Hmph. :| ]

[apologizeagain]

[Frowns now, though it's a pretty weak looking frown, and shrugs.] You'll find out if you show up.

[gimmegems]

I'll be there.

[apologizeagain]

[And the smile is back!] Good! We'll be waiting for you, huh?

[irrationaling]

I've already heard some rumors about this 'Sola' after talking to her.. So you're saying they're true?

[apologizeagain]

Huh? Rumors? Who told you those?

[irrationaling]

We didn't bother to exchange names, but I met her in the city a few days ago. She said she was a resident of this place, and.. she was feeding birds, if that would perhaps give you any clue as to who it could be.

[apologizeagain]

[He blinks. Another shrug after a short pause.] Yulia. Yeah, I know who she is.

Hey, um... What exactly did Yulia tell you?

[truthvalue]

... Who are you?

[apologizeagain]

[Short, nervous laugh.] ...I live here?

[truthvalue]

[He nods.] I gathered as much ... but what is your name?

[apologizeagain]

Oh... [Another laugh.]

Ligeia. Now tell me yours.

[meddlefussyfang]

[Kanaya helpfully interjects a continuation of his remarks.]

But she's not especially informative? Friendly, polite, but only so far as giving us friendly welcomes and apologies.

Do you intend to be more forthcoming? It would be a comforting change from my enigmatic experience here so far.

[apologizeagain]

[He only stares at her for a few moments, blinking. When he speaks, he sounds a tad confused, as if he's just not sure what to make of her.] ...Forthcoming?

[meddlefussyfang]

[She can probably out-stare him.]

Yes. The young man and woman who were around several days ago, claiming to be locals and knowing a little bit of how people were brought here, gave barely more information than that. You seem to be offering to amend this.

[apologizeagain]

[He gives up pretty quickly anyway, staring at somewhere approximately two inches to the left of her.]

Huh? Wait, who else did you talk to?

[A pause.] Um... Yeah. As... long as you show up tomorrow!

[makaracles]

[Gamzee doesn't really get that there's a difference between the first and second levels ... he kind of wanders between them at times without realizing it, at the lower level of submersion, anyway. He also has no idea who Sola, or this guy is, but he'll smile anyway.] Hey, motherfucker ... why don't you just help a bro out now, huh?

[apologizeagain]

[He laughs a little halfheartedly and crosses his arms.] Come on, you can wait a day, right?

[makaracles]

No. I need to find my motherfuckin' friends now, you know? [There's ... a lot of teeth in that smile.]

[apologizeagain]

[Another laugh, a lot more strained this time, as he looks everywhere but at his face... and teeth.] Can't really say I know who your friends are...
