[It takes Schneizel a minute to realize that there is no table on his private plane to place the nonexistent wine glass, in his hands, on. In fact, there is no plane and he's quite safely standing on the ground, all but bemused with the current situation.]

Ah? Well I must have been so caught up in my thoughts, for I haven't even realized that we

B-Brother?!

[royal_checkmate]

Ah, I see. ...Your portraits are always lovely, Clovis.

I hope you had good company with you as well, despite some trivialities with the commoners. I met some rather nice individuals already.

[justsopretty]

Thank you. I'm rather proud of them.

Well ... there is Jade and Nera. They respect and listen to the fact that I'm a prince. [ah?] Nice individuals already?

[royal_checkmate]

As you should be. You're very talented.

I hope to meet your companions, soon. [Friends? It's still too foreign of a word.] Such respect is admirable.

Well nice meaning that I don't consider them to be an enemy. [Small laugh.] A lady by the name of Martel. She has been helpful to me.

[1/2]

[justsopretty]

You're too kind.

... yes. [suddenly worried about Schneizel meeting Jade] They are interesting. If not a little odd.

Oh. I haven't met her, but if you are already holding her in high regard, then she must be someone worth knowing. [not a snob]

[justsopretty]

...

[ah, wants to tell Schneizel about his plan to seize "C.C." here but then his brother might know about Lelouch. Think, Clovis, you can outsmart your elder brother.]

B-Brother, I may need your ... assistance in apprehending someone from our world...

[royal_checkmate]

...Apprehending? [Bemused.] I am no prosecutor, but who is the criminal, brother?

[justsopretty]

A-A witch.

[royal_checkmate]

[Ah, so it's her? He always did have a habit of finding her. It saves him some trouble.] I see. I'll aid you in whatever way I can.

[justsopretty]

[Whew!] Thank you, Brother. I am most grateful.

[royal_checkmate]

It is no problem. [It's too soon to know it is truly her, but he cannot pass up this opportunity for a new pawn. A new game, hm?]

[justsopretty]

[smiles]

...?

I should tell you a bit about this place, shouldn't I?

[royal_checkmate]

That would be most helpful, Clovis. I've only been able to obtain vague information.

[justsopretty]

Let me see. The people ... they tend to not be able to see us. There are a group that appear from time to time to talk to us that are actually residents here. Ruling bodies, I suppose. But I tend to ignore them. They're not of royal blood and not really -- [ahem] Everything here is free ... that is you can take whatever you want. People come from ... different worlds, different times ... they're all quite dull ... except for you Schneizel and a few others. Maybe even that Moon Tribe person ... anyway! T-That's all I recall at this time...

[royal_checkmate]

[Sitting, thinking it over in silence.] This is all quite amazing. Different worlds, eh? I can't say that I'll be able to adjust immediately, but this information does make the transition a little easier for me.

[He doesn't like the idea of stealing. Murder is okay, but theft is a no-no.] I don't like the aspect of thievery, though. But, I suppose there is no other way.

[justsopretty]

I-It is difficult to do so... I still haven't quite adjusted.

I am sorry. [sigh] Perhaps your covemates will do the stealing and you ignore what it is that they're doing.
