R2: Mask

[lavelventine]

Title: Mask
Characters: Silver, Giovanni, Silver's History Teacher Mr. Martin
POV: Silver
Notes: A mask is something you hide behind. Sometimes it grows on you and ceases being a mask.

Everyone likes Mr. Martin. He’s easily the youngest male teacher in the whole school, and he’s a good and nice teacher. I mean, he actually explains the lessons

How does someone like Giovanni manage to get people to think he died if he's living publically?

[lavelventine]

Not really publically. I put him as sort of trying to fade out of the Old World and living normally as a consultant for firms, even if there is the problem with the assassins that want him dead and the other criminal heads that want him back and the Feds that just want him. And everyone knows he's still alive, but when you're a grunt you believe anything they tell you!

Plus it was actually for humor value. They said "The Boss has gone" and Henry Martin hears, "The Boss is gone."

Teachers don't know anything about the real world because they live at school and never leave. DUH!

[lavelventine]

Yeah. Live under the desk and eat pencil shavings, you see!

[willy_wiluhps]

First of all, I love that mistranslation. LMAO.

Have you seen the movie Mumford? Mr Martin reminds me of the main character in that movie (Dr Mumford), a new-in-town psychologist with skeletons in his closet...I don't want to give it away if you haven't seen it... ;)

I feel kind of bad for him though. Silver's the only one who actually knows anything about him...and he's also the only one who refuses to be friendly. Aww.

[lavelventine]

Sorry, I don't think I have! I'll go look it up on Wikipedia. XD

Yeah, poor fellow! Well, that kid's not exactly the warmest little soul on the planet anyways. D'aww.

[lil_rebbitzen]

Yeah, Silver's a bugger. Awesome little bugger, though. Hate to love him.

By the way, do you take drawing requests...?

[lil_rebbitzen]

very well written. I'm enjoying your fics quite a bit. Much as I would love for my story to be anime canon, I am starting to almost think of yours or Wily's as Manga canon, they're written so well. Between you and wily (the only other author's fics I've had a chance to read), I don't know who's my favorite! ^_^

In other news, finally over my damn cold. I'm hoping after I finish my homework tonight, to work on Illness, since I promise to post it next.

By the way, how old is Silver's cameo in the anime? The one with gold? About 13 or so?

[lavelventine]

Thank you- I am glad that you enjoy reading mine and Wily's stories!

I'm sorry to hear you were sick recently.

I'm not sure! I wasn't even aware Silver had a cameo until recently, so I'm really not the one to ask. ^^" I have him as anywhere from thirteen to fifteen (manga), since he's been living with his parents for a while.

[lil_rebbitzen]

I know Bulbapedia has him at 13 as of the latest issue, but I don't know any more than that.

What chapter starts the whole Silver-Giovanni thing?

[lavelventine]

Well, I think FR/LG, 'cause that's when he starts looking for his parents. I'm not really sure. ^^"
